No Hard Drive Detected Dell Inspiron
replies. Advertisement susanlprince Thread Starter Joined: Jul 24, 1999 Messages: 204 When starting my computer, no boot device found windows 7 I have started getting a "Hard Drive Not Found" error on the black screen just as the pc starts booting up. I've hard disk not detected in bios not written down all the details, but I see the MAC address displayed and a cursor blinks just after the letters DHCP, there is something about "boot filename not received", then "Hard Drive not found" and then http://smallbusiness.chron.com/computer-cant-hard-drive-but-says-press-f1-continue-70161.html it defaults to the Windows boot screen and will boot up fine. The pc seems to run normal once up...but, I'm somewhat concerned about a "Hard Drive Not Found" error. It just doesn't sound good. I'm going to try to get more specifics as to what I'm seeing on the boot screens, but wondered if anyone here might have some suggestions as to what my issue is? Thanks in advance for any help. My pc https://forums.techguy.org/threads/hard-drive-not-found-error.621440/ specs should show in my signature. Also, I recently upgraded my graphics card, but that's the only hardware I've been playing with lately. Don't know if that would make any difference because I wasn't getting any trouble until now and that graphics card has been in about a week already. -Sue susanlprince, Sep 8, 2007 #1 Sponsor Goku Joined: May 17, 2007 Messages: 1,408 Ok Sue, from what I read I understood you got a Hard Drive not found error message during boot. If this assumption of mine is correct, then I might provide you with a solution. There might be four causes for your problem: >> Your Hard Drive has gone bad or has been damaged. >> The BIOS has been misconfigured. >> The partition structure is damaged. >> You have been infected with a virus. My Sources: >> Boot error: "Hard drive not found...." >> 7 Most Common Symptoms of Data Loss For this, I recommend you to try to restore your BIOS settings to default. This article will help you in doing so: >> BIOS Settings Try and see if it helps. Good Luck.

Tags: Virus Hewlett Packard Hard Drives Storage Last response: 13 March 2013 09:53 in Storage Share mikeinstlouis 11 March 2013 22:53:32 Thanks for reading... Last week I http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1622631/dead-hard-drive-virus.html was trying to watch a basketball game on my HP Pavillion D6 lapton on frontrowsports.eu and no http://www.iyogi.net/hardware/hard-drive-not-found.html issues. After that, my computer started running very slowly so I tried to reboot. It said that there were no files to boot from and then said there was no hard drive. I was able to boot to windows afterwards and it ran very slowly. Somehow I was able to get to safemode and it ran just fine and ran my Norton AV and if found a hard drive lot of issues that it said were either fixed or quarantined. I let it run all night and in the morning Norton had somehow been turned off. I also ran malwarebytes and no issues. I tried to restart my computer to get my files off onto an external hard drive and it said my hard drive was in imminent danger of failing. I said to continue and then I got an error that says no hard drive found. Even in the bios, no no boot device hard drive found to even run checks on. My IT friend gave me an external SATA adaptor. I took out my hard drive from my laptop popped it in the adapter and plugged it into another computer. I could hear my little hard drive start up and spin, heard some soft clicks (no grinding or anything) but the working laptop did not recognize my hard drive. My hard drive spins normally, doesn't make any weird noises, but it is still not recognizable. My question is whether or not this is dead hard drive or am I missing something. It is about 3 years old so I guess that is possible. Are there other tricks that I am missing? I am a doctor and I have patient sensitive information on it so I don't want to send it out, nor do I want to pay big bucks to get it back. Just wondering if there are any last ditch efforts before I pronounce it dead. As an update...I tried to put in an windows installation disk into my laptop just to see what would happen. It recognized that there was a hard drive and said that there was a bout 300 gb of data space (for a 320 GB HD) but it gave me an error stating that windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support botting to this disk Enshare that the disk controller is enabled in the computer's bios menu. What does t

What are the ways to resolve this error? A hard drive is one of the most important secondary storage devices on a computer. A hard drive is usually divided into two partitions, one primary partition and two extended partitions. All the Operating System-related files are saved to the primary partition and the extended partition is divided into various logical drives and user data is saved in those drives. As soon as you turn on the computer a, Power On Self Test (POST) is performed to check if all critical hardware components are working. After POST, the computer checks for the hard drive as per the boot priority to load the operating system, and if the hard drive is not found, you get an error message “Hard Drive Not Found" and the computer does not proceed with boot up process. Here are some ways or methods to fix "Hard Drive Not Found" error: Check hard drive cable Check BIOS set-up Replace the hard drive Check hard drive cable A power cable from Swtiched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) is connected to the hard drive to supply power and a SATA or IDE data cable is connected to the hard drive to transfer data. A hard drive is fixed inside the computer tower or cabinet, and you need to open the side cover of your computer tower or cabinet and check if hard disc connections are connected correctly. IDE hard drives have a jumper setting to determine master and slave settings. An IDE cable will have three connectors, one end goes to the IDE port in the motherboard and first of the second end is connected to hard drive 1 (also known as master) and second is connected to a second hard drive or CD drive.
