ELL Demension 2400-error: No. Hard Drive was found - 0

I have one of the old Dell Demension 2400-achete nine in October "2003,

Last week stood up this error on startup: "couldn't find any hard drive - 0 press F2 for set

F1 to continue. "but he never starts.  and there are two quick beeps after pressing PWR.

It is on a WIN XP SP 3

What I've done so far:

In error, as one of the options was to press F2, I did this and to load or open the BIOS Setup. I did it
I Look'ed for the HDD in SATA 0, 1, 2, etc...

Next I Open'ed, for the HDD, the option and check if the startup hard disk is displayed correctly. but there are no options to choose, (I expect said "Western Digital 250 GB" or something.

At one point, I noticed that there is a CD in the drawer, however, I removed the seasonal and tried aagin and same error message.

I put in a new hard drive, about a year ago and still have the old HDD
still somewhere.

What should I do?

Thank you

The Dimension 2400 only natively IDE/EIDE drives, not SATA, unless you have installed a SATA controller card.

The IDE hard drive is recognized in the installation system [BIOS]?

The power button LED, green, solid orange, green, orange, flashing flashing or off?

Check the sequence of the four Diagnostic Lights [marked A, B, C, D] on the rear panel, these are then at the two ports, PS/2 (mouse and keyboard).

  • Alienware X 51 error: internal hard drive not found...

    Hello

    Since a few days I am getting an error on the screen when I start my computer. This is the error:

    Internal hard disk not found
    to resolve this problem. try to reinstall the drive.
    No bootable device.

    Strike F1 to retry boot. F2 to enter the Setup Menu. F5 enter PSA.

    If I go into the PSA I'll get boot problems. It takes like half an hour. When it's over my computer will restart, and then boot normally I can connect and see bureablad etc. But when I shut down my pc and start it again the next morning it will start with the same error. and it happens every day.

    Many people say that you must change the start Mode of inheritance in the UEFI. But the Boot Mode was already on the UEFI.

    I hope someone can help me.

  • Error retrieving Tecra A6 (hard drive not found. Error: F3E1000001)

    Hello
    I want to recovery my Tecra A6, but when I insert the first (of three) DVD and restart my system to get to the recovery

    Menu (when booting from the recovery DVD) just rebooted my laptop and every time I try this (very simple procedure) this

    happen again.
    That's why I tried to get it back to Win XP > Toshiba Recovery Wizard... in the first DVD in the 'BIN' folder there isn't

    a "RECOVERY.bat" batch file when I run this file will open a CMD window and checks are willing (and then the

    following text is displayed in the CMD window :)
    "
    Verification of DMI
    Verification of RAID
    Failed to initialize the raid class.
    Check the HARD disk
    End of the error
    "
    and a new window opens with the following text:
    "

    an error has occurred.
    Error: F3E1000001
    Hard drive not found.
    Please press [OK] to turn the computer off.
    "
    If I press OK the any immediately goes down (without shut down windows) and I have to restart.
    Also my laptop works properly my recovery DVDs sounds great, I want to just recover my system because of the speed more

    in Win XP.
    Maybe there is a new firmware for my HARD drive or an update of the BIOS so that the laptop could detect my HDD.
    In Device Manager, my HARD drive is: HTS541010G9SA00

    Wait a minute: you try to run recovery as OS installation?

    The recovery procedure must be on path:
    Turn on the laptop and press the F12 key
    When the bootable devices appear put the first media for recovery in the optical disc drive
    Choose CD/DVD media from the list and press ENTER
    Follow the menu on the screen.

  • Recurring HDD error - new hard drive

    I've been in contact with HP on a recurring problem with my g6 Pavillion - there periodically blue screen errors and then won't turn on, shows an error 'hard drive '. Then, he refuses to start up for anywhere from a few minutes to a few days. I sent it in for repairs, she returned with a new framework of screen (?). More hard drive errors. I called and they sent a new hard drive for me.

    Today, I installed the new hard drive. When I tried to start it for the first time, I was greeted with yet another error of hard disk. I ran a test, he said that the hard drive was fine (it used to say that before, sometimes too, which is probably why they do not have to replace it in the first place). Turned off and turned on again - it has started well.

    Now it works, but I don't feel no better about it because she had this initial error. Is this normal for a new disk hard failure right after having been hung? It has been installed of course very well, I'm typing this message on a fully functional laptop now. I'm tired of living on a portable player (it's a bit like living in a suitcase), so I should be grateful if you would ensure that the laptop is not just going to crash again, but it seems to me that the new hard drive will not be my solution.

    I have an extended warranty - but I don't have the luxury of time when it comes to sending, as I am a student full time and use the tutorials online every day.

    She would need replacement motherboard, which is not necessarily a death knell for the computer. Since you have a guarantee, it would be covered. Unfortunately, he would send it in for service. It could be done locally outside the warranty if you live in a decent sized city for maybe $ 300-350.

  • Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!

    Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!  Gee, who could have possibly guessed that would happen?  I tried all kinds of silly workarounds, I found on the internet, but still it will not register the stack of DVDs and other discs I have.

    If you're like me and upgraded your iMac that came with a cd/dvd drive internal... so he has to come out to give way to the fusion or the SSD drive, do NOT buy the apple superdrive.  It will work with your computer!

    Think I'll get a laptop samsung...

    Ironic, isn't it? Own Apple SuperDrive will not work with Apple computers. Shame you don't check here first that we would have warned you. Return Apple overpriced and buy a nice third-party player for a third of the price. I love the LG units. You can consider a loading plate because they are more reliable, and you can use these pesky disc when you get one.

  • Hard drive not found error

    Hey everybody,

    My HP Pavilion G6 - 1164sa is coming up with an error "Hard drive not found" at the start up. It also makes a clicking sound. have you tried another hard drive to an old laptop in its place and the works, but because it is not the correct drivers installed for this model most things do not work. Need a solution to this? can I order a new hard drive for hp with all the drivers installed?

    Your drivers are posted on your support page > HERE

    You can order a hard drive at HP, but it will be a hard drive Virgin, as well as a new hdd retail except at much higher prices. I would like to replace the hard drive with a > hdd retail.

    If you plan to use recovery disks to reinstall Windows & software/drivers have one that is at least as large a capacity than the original, may be larger, but not smaller. If you have not written a set of recovery discs, you can usually order from HP for a small fee.

    If you can read the Windows 25-character license key attached to the bottom of the laptop there is possibility to download an ISO file, burn it to DVD and install Windows. Then you need to download your drivers on the support site. (Any size hard disk could be used with this option)

  • My office wouldn't boot and I received a S.M.A.R.T. message that told me that the hard drive was bad. I changed the hard drive, but it is always the same. It is running windows zp.

    My desktop computer running windows xp. It begins to start but stops and keeps trying to start. It does not start in safe mode or any other mode. I have mfoundm a message that says S.M.A.R.T. and told me that my hard drive was bad. I replaced the drive hard drive with another drive that has been loaded with xp but it stil is.

    I think that the answer to the replacement hard drive is in your question.

    I replaced the drive hard drive with another drive that has been loaded with xp but it stil is.

    You can not take a hard drive that was in another computer when the Windows installation, place it in another computer and boot from it. You will get a boot loop. It will start to load Windows then suddenly, re - start. This will be repeated again and again. You must install Windows on the disk hard while it is in the computer that you intend to use it with.

    I don't want Windows 7 at all so I'm ready to lose all data, so how can I do to remove it?

    You say that you have started from the XP CD, but something is wrong with that
    you do. Just boot from the CD and follow the prompts for a
    clean install. A new installation by formatting the

  • Help format/reinstall, HARD drive not found

    Dell Dimension 8400 my brother got a horse of Trojan/bot out there and I had to do a thorough cleaning due to not being able to locate the infection and the internet company kept cutting off the Internet.

    I first tried the start of the disc and using disk relocation provided by Dell. He said "this part of the Setup program prepares Microsoft Windows XP on your computer. To set up Windows XP now, press ENTER. To repair a Win XP... Press R."

    I chose the first option and get the message: "Setup has not found hard disk units installed on your computer." And the only option (F3) is to stop smoking.

    I made a diagnosis of HD and it passes. Looking in the BIOS, it is recognised as disk 0 and also in the startup list.

    I decided that maybe there was a lock on there so I used DBAN to run a DoD wipe/format and clean the drive. So now it has to be completely formatted. I also jumped into a boot disk and performed a fdisk, but he doesn't recognize and create a partition of 8 GB to 160 GB. Hmmm, something's not right.

    Again, I'm trying to reinstall with reinstall drive and a full copy of XP that I have and you still get the "hard drive not found" error.

    The FAQ does not seem to cover this issue, but I could easily looking in the wrong places. in any case, I want to just wipe the drive and reinstall. Any suggestions?
