Did you pull out the hard drive, and then push it back in again ? Reports: · Posted 5 years ago Top Darkness169 Posts: 40 This post has been internal hard disk drive not found dell inspiron 1525 reported. No, I don't know how. Do you know any guides that show how? Reports: · Posted 5 years ago Top LH Posts: 20002 This post has been reported. Turn the machine off completely. Unplug everything. Turn the laptop upside down, and remove the battery. On the side where the mic and speaker sockets are, look for 2 screws that hold the drive in. Unscrew those, and pull it out (to the the side), then put it back.

Often removing and reinserting the drive can solve the issue. Always turn off and unplug the computer when performing these tasks. On page 25 of the service manual are instructions to remove the hard drive. To reinstall the drive, reverse the steps

Does it continue to give this same message if you hit F1? –Davidw Apr 27 '13 at 20:36 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 0 down vote This message means that the internal drive is not found. Either the drive broke, or the connector between drive and the motherboard broke (or came loose) or something on the motherboard broke. To check if the drive is broken, remove the drive and try to use it with another computer. E.g.. plug in in as an extra drive in a desktop, use an external USB case or use a HDD dock like these: To try to solve the middle problem, remove the drive from the laptop and reconnect it. This is called 'reseating the drive`. If the drive works fine in a dock or in another computer then it is likely a problem with the laptop. Try using another drive and see if it also fails (it probably will give the same problem)
