While playing F1 2014 the console froze and had to be reset through a hard power off as touch power button was not working. On restart the message "Cannot Start The appropriate system cannot be found". On following the advice on how to boot to safe mode the same message was received and I can not find any more information on what to do. Any advice would be appreciated.

@matt_rogan1407:

Hi,

This issue appears to occur when the contacts on the Hard Disk have either fallen out of an ideal seating position or dust and debris have made their way in and are preventing the system from recognizing the disk.

Here's a video to illustrate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkKDgaM7E58

Ensure that when re-seating the Hard Disk that the screw hole is lined up properly.
