Not detecting a HDD
Hello, I was restarting my desktop after it got stuck in a frozen screen. Upon reboot it loaded up with a blank screen. In hindsight I think I might have restarted during an install of a windows update, which could have ended up screwing the main configuration of the comp. I decided to go for a wipe of the hard drive (had a fresh backup) and re-install. Yet I have no C: listed The HDD is fine (No weird noises.), it makes a healthy spooling up sound on startup, but thats it. Its just on a year old, 500 GB Seagate, it is not SATA drive so there shouldnt be any drivers needed. Is there an obvious fix for this problem? From looking on the net I would imagine that I would have to play around with my BIOS settings, I'll admit that I would be out of my league and would probably accidently blow my computer up. If I need to do it I might need a straightforward set of instructions. Thanks in advance, Dan -- VistaCompUser |
