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)

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Hard drive not found - installing WXP on Equium P200

    Dear all

    I have an Equium P200 with Vista. I decided to remove vista and install windows XP. I put the XP and it goes through a verification process, I guess. At the end of the audit and after I pressed the button to install XP, I get the message "hard drive not found on this computer. Help me with as I want to install XP, my laptop?

    Concerning
    REDA

    The XP operating system could not find the HARD drive because you have not installed the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
    It is a SATA driver is needed t install the XP.

    During the operating system installation process, you will need to press the F6 key to include the external USB FDD drive SATA driver.

    It you don t have a USB FDD drive then nLite software could be a solution.

  • Inspiron 1545 - hard drive replacement, new drive SATA not found 'internal hard drive not found ".

    Hi all

    I'm trying to install Win7 in an Inspiron 1545 with a new SATA hard drive that has been purchased. When I insert the disc, I get "Internal hard drive not found." I checked the drive does not appear in the BIOS, I already tried to reinstall the drive several times. In addition, I tried to load the chipset drivers, drivers SATA, etc. of the Dells, the Reader site still does not appear in the installation of the OS when starting on a DVD or in the bios.

    I do not think that there is a problem with the new drive, I plugged the new drive in another Dell laptop model and it recognizes the drive in the BIOS, also I can always start on the previous in this laptop without problem hard drive when I plug it in.

    Is there a specific driver, etc. should I use for the drive to be recognized or have other thoughts?

    It's strange - either the new HDD has a rare compatibility with your embedded controller problem (I use a 500Gbyte in my 1545 no probs)) or it is a mechanical problem. I look at the physical dimensions and compare your original hdd by the new. Watch the video (even if it's on a 1525 (similar to a 1545) and a SSD hard drive)-go to 02:20

  • 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.

    A photo of the boot:

    I hope someone can help me.

    Hello

    Eventually the partitions that appear on the HARD disk is corrupted.
    I couldn't install the OS on my laptop because the partitions have been confues up, I don t know why, but I couldn't format the HARD drive using the recovery disk.

    Finally, I took the Windows XP disc and formatted the whole HARD drive and deleted all partitions on the HARD drive. Then I installed Windows XP by using the Microsoft disk.
    After that, I made the recovery disc and installed the operating system using the Toshiba disc.
    Then, it was possible to reinstall the OS.

    Notes; The M400 seems supported RAID and therefore, you need to install the RAID driver first!

  • N200 bios flashes-> hard drive not found

    I have a Lenovo 3000 N200 0769.
    I downloaded the upgrade of the bios on the Lenovo site. The laptop stood awake for a few minutes after the launch and completion of lightning with explore does not, including the flash window is complete, normally closed.
    When he started upward again, I got normal screens, finally windows XP startup screen showed, but as soon as the blue line arrived in the second or third place, the computer go to the black screen asking for a normal boot, safe mode or the configuration was last started. All these options have led to a blue error screen that was shown for only a half second that I couldn't even read the error number, then all reeboted again and I got stüch with the display of black selection again.
    When I tried to repair windows XP CD (R key), he said that I have not installed hard drives. I got the same message when I tried to reinstall XP. The bios displays the installed drive. I also tried resetting the bios, no change. I found the article on the community of lenovo on how to reset the cmos, but it seemed that I had failed, either. Anyone alse said his drive Id changed to another thing and causet problem, but does not list how to fix that.
    I don't know what else to do. I need the data on the laptop ASAP and I want to say.

    Someone on FixYa said I need to remove the cmos battery and this is supposed to be under the keyboard. I removed the keyboard, but can't seem to find the battery. Is anyone please tell me where it is? I saw all the batteries in the world and I can not find even when it is... or maybe I have gist never seen one like this yet or what?

    BIG MISTAKE! Version 3.03 of bios is not the best for this model, especially if only a few months (like mine), has made in my case 3.03 caused trouble on the events of interruption-recovery repeatedly crashes on the post. Actually recovered 3.05 bios original and questions solved all this. Later, I will put the download link. You don't need to worry about bsod, simply change the sata to ide on bios mode and windows will go up. (the provided vista can assume the two, xp requires a change of driver before)
