  Hi Jose_luna47,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. When was the last time it was working fine?

  Method 1

  I suggest that you perform chkdsk analysis on the computer to check and fix the errors on the hard drive by using the recovery console.

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then you will need to check the settings in the basic input/output system (BIOS) and you need to contact the computer manufacturer for help with basic input/output system (BIOS).

  Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  If it's a new hard drive, it will have to be formatted before it can be used.

• 8000 elite: try to boot from the hard drive

  After placing a ssd, I get this notification. nothing else happens.

  I checked the bios, but I noticed that I can not change the boot sequence (ssd hard drive first, the other second place) so I changed the sata cables too the ssd is the startup disk.

  someone who can help?

  the ssd already has an operating system installed

  Sorry, from your description, I thought you might have "migrated" Win10 from the HARD disk to the SDS, and when people do this by copying partitions, they almost always forget migrate partition, including the bootloader files.

  So you did a clean install of Win10 for the SSD?

  If this is the case, you might be able to fix it by running the win10 installation media startup repair.

  To do this, you will need to use the link to the installation media to download Win10 and burn a DVD or create a USB key: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install?ocid=ms_wol_win10
  
  Note that when you download and build install media, the default tool corresponding to what is already installed on your PC (as in home for the House, and 64-bit to 64 - bit).  While you CAN change these settings, are NOT.  If you do, the media that results will be different and will force you to enter a NEW product code.

  Then, follow these instructions to run the Startup Repair tool: Doing - Startup Repair

  You may need to do this same series of steps three times.

  Good luck

• Not found boot device. Hard drive (3F0)

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion 15 laptop n203ed 8 64-bit windows-based and have updated my bios.

  About a month ago, I bought an SSD and improved my HARD drive, it worked fine until yesterday, I started getting the error message "not found boot device. Hard drive (3F0) '. I get this error message whenever I restart the laptop, but when I load the bios, change nothing and then tap on save and exit suddenly it restarts again the error disappeared and everything goes back to normal. Until this happens again in a few hours. I've had 4 times now.

  My question: is this a hardware problem or software, I would return the SSD? or could it be something else?

  Thanks in advance.

• (Redirected) Cannot boot from the HARD drive on dell n5010 with SSD and HARD drive installed

  I have my old dell n5010 (15R Inspiron) with SSD (Samsung EVO 840 120 G) installed on the main drive Bay and the HDD (Samsung HJJ 500 G) on the optical drive Bay.

  It is a typical way to add an SSD on such an old laptop (bought from dell.com.cn in 2011).

  My Windows 10 operating system has been installed on the SSD using Samsung Data Migration software, so the previous C drive was pointless. So I formatted and installed an operating system Ubuntu 14.04 on it, hoping the grub OSs double beginning located on the HARD disk.

  However, I find no the Dell bios boot option to boot from the HARD drive installed in my optical drive Bay. All the choices are 'Hard Drive', 'Network' and 'Diagnostic '.

  But I was definitely sure that my bios program has detected the SSD and HDD with information on the main menu of the bios.

  And the LED on the optical drive Bay was immediately once I pressed the Start button on my laptop.

  As a general rule, all things were right except for options of the bios boot.

  Is there a way I can boot from HDD (with installed Ubuntu) while remaining has my SSD on the main drive Bay? I don't want to swap their positions, because the SSD is super fast on the main drive Bay.

  I have alse won't migrate 10 Windows to the HARD drive and reinstall Ubuntu on the SSD, because I'd like my windows be loaded quickly.

  Someone at - it the same problem with me?

  Any suggestion is appreciated!

  Helllo machadoas,

  You want to disable the Intel boot agent.

  You should be able to load in the BIOS at startup by pressing F10, go to boot order and move boot agent under the HARD drive.

  Here is a link that talks a little more about the boot agent.

  Let me know if it helps.

• Satellite A10 won't boot up - bad sectors on HARD drive

  Hallo,

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A10
  Model No.: PSA10E-018EZ-DU

  The problem is that you comp. won't start.
  There are some areas of bad or damaged HD
  I ran chkdsk a few weeks ago, it has helped but now there are still problems.
  If chkdsk is running again.
  Is there a better program to check your HD or should I do something else?

  A new HD?
  What kind of HD am I looking for?
  is a HD for a nootbook oke?
  Or are there restrictions for a HD satellite A10?

  HEY Kees,

  There are other utilities that you can use to check your hard disk (Norton Disk Doctor for example) but CHKDSK is as good as all the others.

  If you get repeated hard disk problems, then this is a good indication to a new hard drive. I suggest you try to backup your data even if you can't always. I'm not aware of any restrictions on the ability of any hard drive that you choose for your A10, but it must of course be the same as your existing drive form factor. You can also consider using a drive with a speed higher than the original drive.

  Kind regards

  The word "support" has a connotation that is specific to HP - it usually means were that he tested with, sold with, etc.   I do not think that these discs were available when this system was built/designed, and thus the moniker "supported" official cannot be assured.

  Everything that is said - I see not where there is a problem with this player.   I have a m9600t HP of a similar vintage - I swapped my Seagate 750 GB drive for a 7200 RPM Hitachi 2 TB drive and added an another 2 TB "Green" WD drive as a secondary drive.   No problems.

  I have used Ghost of Norton to clone the old boot HDD on the Hitachi.  Made sure the D: drive Alias: "recovery partition" was kept the same size and then said Norton to use all the space of the new to develop on the c: drive.  Works very well.   The WD drive - I partitioned as a large drive E:.   Made sure to partition to NTFS.

  Your mileage may vary - but I think it should work correctly...

• Satellite C75-A-13 q - no boot with new HARD drive

  Hello world

  I have a strange problem...
  The crash of hard disk internal down. I mounted the hard drive on other PCs, no access, not detected in the bios... RIP.
  It is the starting point of my problem.
  So, I decide to replace the hard drive. a new is detected by the bios, everything beautiful, but...
  I couldn't start on USB, CD/DVD or hdd internal I prepared before (installation of linux don't care to change the host pc).
  Of course, I disabled the BIOS Secure Boot option.

  So my question is: is there a relationship between the original hard drive and the start feature? How to solve this?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  As much as I know there is no any type of relationship between original HARD disk and the start feature.
  You can exchange the HARD drive or enhance it with SSD but so long BIOS recognized new peripheral, you should be able to install the new OS.

  I upgraded the machine y with SSD and installed original picture of recovery without any problem.

  What model of laptop do you have?
  Have you tried to install the original recovery image using recovery media created?
