Start of error message:

Drive 1 not found: Serial ATA, SATA-1 Intel (r) Application
Accelerator Raid Option ROM V41006211

For my father's computer, a Dell 8400 with Windows XP, I need very
detailed resolution to change the BIOS so that the hard drive will be
recognized.

I saw it can be solved (see
http://www.dellcommunity.com/suppor...=dim_bios&thread.id=54986&c=ch&l=fr&cs=&s=gen).

The problem is that my father is across the pond, 88 years old and
speaks no English. I have to guide him but unfortunately, I have an
older Dell with a different setup menu.

Your help is appreciated.

My best guess is that the 7B stop code was caused by a failing drive with some
bad sectors. The typical scenario here for 7B and similar codes is that the
system starts booting, displays the Windows splash screen then runs into
difficulty resulting in the blue screen.

I would run manufacturer's (or even Dell's) hardware diagnostics on the drive
before taking any other action. Since your father is across the pond, you
probably need to find somebody to do diagnostic and repair for him, or, as
another response suggested, replace the computer... Ben Myers

My best guess is<BITCHSLAP>

It's a technical problem, not a freaking guessing competition, you less than
f*cking useless stupid c*nt. I suppose you'd go to the doctor with unwashed
feet and happily let him lop off both your f*cking legs because his "best
guess" is that the stinking gunge between your fetid f*cking toes is
gangrene, you complete and utter techo-moron f*ckwart.
