Cannot install Windows 7 HARD drive problems
Hi all!
I have lenovo ThinkPad T540p. Intel Core I7, 8 GB RAM and 500 GB HARD drive. I think my HARD drive is Toshiba. It had Windows 7 on it, but it starts no more on this subject. When I start Windows is it shows 5 seconds black screen, and then it displays the Boot Menu. Well, I tried to reinstall Windows, but when I have to choose on which disk to install Windows, I get an error: "no hard drive found." And the list with readers is empty, so I can't reinstall Windows. I've updated the BIOS, but it did not help. Finally, I formatted my HARD drive and created two partitions on it. It worked, but not for long. I installed Windows 7. Everything was going well until I restarted my computer. And then I got the same problem: 'Cannot start from the HARD disk' and displays the Start Menu. Then I booted Windows installation and I got the same error: "no hard drive found."
I don't understand what is happening with my HARD drive and that is to destroy his scores.
And I don't think that my HARD drive is broken.
I don't really know what to do!
Please, help me!
Thanks a lot!
Here is the solution:
My HARD drive was broken. I bought a new MX100 of Crucial SSd and everything is fine.

Cannot install Windows 7 Professional. Problems with partitions.
I have a problem installing WIN 7 Pro, I think that I managed to install a re - install Win 7 ultimate disc that came with my DELL laptop. As the disc, I guess that for a single use, something happened to prevent its use. Unfortunately I cannot start my new Zoostorm ACPI x 64-based PC successfully because windows will in the repair attempt, but can not correct now.When I load the new Windows 7 pro, I get that, where you want to install windows, whereDisk 0 Partition 1, total size: 100MB. Free space: 78MB; Type: SC (reserved). When click on format gives the warning: the partition might contain recovery, system files or software files important computer manufacturer you. If you format this partition, all data will be lost.The detail shows: Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed on a partition formatted in NTFS. Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. The partition is a partition of EFI (ESP) system.Disk 0 Partition 2; total size: 128 MB; Free space: 128 MB; Type: SC (reserved). The warning on this is: Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space.

I think I can segment the readers already, so don't want to do it again.I can't start windows successfully, cannot use the update option.If you have any ideas on this one I would be most grateful. Best regards SteveYes, you must delete all partitions, this will ensure that you will be able to start a clean slate with Windows 7 Professional.

After fact as well and all I had was a blank screen, no windows more or no matter what utility to reinstall windows, then I used my winxp pro installation CD, but the program installation would continue not after a certain point by saying that the installation did not find any HARD disk installed. followed by "ensure that any disk HARD r turned on and correctly connected, and that no matter what material associated drive configured correctly, this may involve running a manufacturer provided diagnostic or Setup program. Clearly it took me by surprise. What was supposed to be a cut to white erase and reinstall now me baffled and angry. Formats the HDD of the solution? If so why didn't not the usefulness of lenovo do... If not, what is the problem? Someone help pls
Welcome to the forum!
Go into the BIOS (F1 at startup), set the "compatible" SATA mode (NO AHCI), then press F10 to save and exit, and you should be all set.
Good luck.

I got an asus computer notebook windows vista, upgrade from vista to windows 7, now I'm not able to do a clean install of windows xp, when I try to install XP, it says that hard drives are not connected & windows cannot find not the hard drives, so once again installed windows 7, is there a way to overcome this problem Why do I get the message windows xp does not detect hard drives? I even formatted the hard drive & tried to install Xp, but still, I get the same message.
The answers will be appreciated...
Thank you
Because the Windows XP installation CD does not have the necessary disk controller drivers. You will need a floppy drive to provide the drivers of controller for the installation program, or you will need to burn a CD of Windows XP with the controller drivers slipstreamed into the installation. A CD of Windows XP with SP2 included may have the necessary drivers.

Hello
I'm doing a clean install of windows xp pro on a hard disk with unallocated space at the front of the drive and a primary partition containing the data at the end of the training.
I want to install windows xp pro on a primary partition on the front of the disk on drive C.
Here's my problem:
When I was installing windows xp pro, I noticed that when I created a partition in the unallocated space at the front of the car where I wanted to install windows xp pro, that I couldn't C as a drive letter for the installation drive - d only.
I ran the installation at the end and Yes, windows xp pro did install on drive D - this isn't what I want - I want it on the C drive.
Can someone tell me how I can solve this installation problem.
Should I run a partition boot CD and set up a primary partition on the front of the drive before installing windows xp pro?
Thank you very much.
I solved this problem by following these steps:
1. I installed a second hard drive (old sata drive).
2. I installed windows xp on the second hard drive.
3. I photographed the windows xp install from the second disc on the first hard drive.
4. I deleted the second disc.
5. I've rehearsed with my other computers.
Everything works fine - just takes a little longer than expected.
