I need some advice. I am very computer literate but dealing with HP
is driving me crazy. I have an HP Pavilion ZT1195 notebook computer.
One day the hard drive started making clicking noises. So I powered
it down and put the exact brand and type of hard drive back into it
(travelstar 40GB). The BIOS refused to see the drive so I upgraded
the BIOS and still no luck. I pop in my HP Recovery CDs and still no
luck. If I put the drive into my Compaq Evo notebook and then try the
Recovery CDs everything is fine. Then I try to put the drive back
into the HP Pavilion and it still cant detect the hard drive. Does
it sound like a hard rive controller problem.?

Joe

Try putting a jumper on the CSEL jumper position on the drive. Some
OEMs customize the behavior of those jumpers, and this would not
necessarily be reflected by a different model number.

I don't know too much about laptops but I had the same problem with a
desktop. It was caused by a faulty IDE cable.
