I have an E1 571 laptop, and have been using it with win 10 since its release, had minor issues, but on xmas day ( of all days) my hard drive started making beeping sounds and would not load, only to the boot menu screen but hd did not show up!
Picture the scene, taking photos of fam on xmas day and need to load them onto my laptop so i proceed to put my mem stick into laptop, copy photos across to hard drive, but by the time that finished my laptop decided to crash. i rebooted it with no problems but as the laptop settled down it crashed again and has not got past the acer logo screen, before telling me i have a pxe -e61 media test failure blah blah blah ( this is after i have F2ed the hell out of it and changed to legacy bios.)
I have tried to see if the hard drive would work on my pc but it makes the same beeping sound and does not show up in 'My computer'
Do i need a new hard drive or can i fix this issue by using Backup/restore discs? Which i will need to purchase or can i download from Acer?
