No Hard Disk Found
mewookie;4584737 Wrote: I am having the same problem. I have: intel dx58so mother board intel i7 processor seagate 1.5tb 32mb sata hd i dont think all the other stuff matters at this point. On start up it says 'hard disk not found' but in the bios it shows all the hd info. I have tried changing out all the cables. I have tried using a different sata port on the mother board. I have tried changing bios settings and reset them when non of the changes helped. I have the dvd drive set to load 1st but never get the option to 'boot from cd' so i can not do a clean install. I'm at a total loss what to do next. I can hear the hd spinning but still getting no where. it sucks i spent a lot on this build and am unable to get it to run. any help would be wonderful. -- mewookie Hey dude thats the same exact thing thats going on with me with the same intel dx58so mother board and i7 setup only thing is I didnt go with a huge HD, just a 600gb western digital, and its new so I dont think its just bad. Yeah I cant do anything because I get that message "hard disk not found" and it just forces me in to bios so I cant install OS. I tried some of the stuff from the earlier replies and all the stuff youve done, nothing seems to work Im going to go and try some of the later posters suggestions. Tell me if you get it to work at all. Oh and thanks to everyone for trying to help. Edit----- I tried Frank-FL's and others advice and still got nothing. No changes in the boot order will let me get around the No HD found screen and let me install windows. So unless anyone else has any ideas I'm going to go with its the HD thats bad and try to get another one because Im out of things to try. -- mike6493 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mike6493's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/124770.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-har...es/1231606.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

There might be something in the HDD's MBR. Try using the manufacturers diagnostic, to completely write zeros to the drive then use the test the drive. |
