Pavilion 500 - C60: new office reads, "ERROR: no boot disk was detected or the disc has failed" at startup.

Just bought Pavilion 500 - C60, running Windows 8.1 64-bit and am doing everything on old HP running Windows Vista Home Premium SP 2. Has not gone smoothly from one thing to another, but I think everything comes together. A couple of days, began to receive the error message at startup or, if I COULD do so that it starts would go for awhile and then would get an ERROR message, requiring restart. Usually after obtaining the error message several times, the computer would then initialize. Tonight, I couldn't override the error message for anything! When you press power button / stop, I hear (HD) running for a few seconds, everything is silent, and then the error message appears on the gray screen dark in white letters, BACK very and sinister looking! Any suggestions? Had the computer about two months and it has not been easy.

Not good!  Check all the connectors and the hard drive to make sure that they are correctly wired in place. Make sure that your cable is not reversed.

Contact the seller if still under warranty for repair.  This could be the hard drive or motherboard and the problem lies the only diagnosis from a repair facility.

    I took my PC to the Geek Squad at my local Best Buy store and it turns out that Windows was just corrupted. All you have to do is to do a full restore using recovery discs. For more information about your model, I would just search on the internet.

    Dokie!

    PS It doesn't look good for me. Good luck and thanks for posting back.

    It has been my experience in the past that a message as this means that either the operating system is corrupt or your hard drive is dead. If your hard drive does not show in the boot order, it's a major sign of a bad HD, but not100%.  There are several free testers HD. Most have the back, which means that you don't have to have an operating system to start their. If you are not able to test your HD with F2 or F11 functions, try one of them. You will need to burn an ISO to a CD file.

    Hello:

    In my view, there is nothing you can do to repair the drive except to replace it.

    You can run the checkdisk utility and check both boxes.

    I turned off my computer last night and when I turned it back today I got an error "not detected no floppy or defective disc.  The computer is a desktop computer of Pavilion P7-1011 that running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    Is there a way to fix this, or that I lost everything on my computer?  I had the computer since March 30, 2012

    I recommend that you start your PC and go into BIOS then select Diagnostics F2 and run the hard drive diagnostics test.

  • HP Pavilion TouchSmart 23-f202: no boot disk was detected or the drive failed

    On startup, I get the message "no boot disk was detected or the drive failed.

    I bought a new H/D, installed and at startup I get the same message that I got on the old H/D.

    As there was no disc provided with the computer when I bought what I'm doing, had to do to get this sucker to the top and work?

    Hi @Jimmy56,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand that you had a type "no boot drive has been detected" error at startup to the top, and you have replaced the hard drive and have the same problem. I'm happy to help you with this.

    If replace you the original hard disk, you can use the following to test the hard drive. It is possible, there was a connectivity issue and just re-allocation of places the hard drive could make a difference. Computers HP - display of error HDD before starting the computer

    The most recent hard disk you put in, if not there was no operating system installed, you'll get the same type of message. You could make the same diagnosis of HDD from the link above, just to make sure that the disc is good.

    Please let me know the results, but so just install the original in the system hard disk works, and it starts correctly, so please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

  • 23 - k027c: ERROR: no boot disk was detected or drive failed

    Hello!

    My computer

    HP Envy tilt 23-k027c TouchSmart all-in-One desktop PC (energy star)

    These latest OS Windows 10 (update of Windows 8, which was preinstalled on the computer at the time of the purchase in December 2013)

    Intel (r) Core (TM) 15-457OT CPU @ 2.90 GHz

    Processor speed 2900 MHz

    A few days ago it started showing blue screens of death with a PAGE_FAULT_in_NONPAGED_AREA note all other hours, or sometimes 3 times per hour.

    I went through all the troubleshooting process, finished with a bluescreen debugging possible analysis demonstrating that the ntoscrnl.exe driver might cause the blue screen issue.  And on the morning of the next day my computer greated me with a black screen with an ERROR: no boot disk was detected or drive failed.

    I can still get into the BIOS by pressing ESC at the present time of HP sign appear early attempts to restart.

    BIOS indicates that the hard disk is detected (yay!), so it is not the source of the problem.

    Memory and disk test went well passed, PASSED tests successfully.

    Pushing ' restore the original and exit "in the bios does not help.

    Nothing else works. Only these two ESC and F10 keys.

    How can I fix the system?

    I don't have a HP with PC Restore disc when I bought it. Site Web of HP didn't kits of restoration for the moment.

    What to do?

    SOS help, please!

    It is the computer that I use for work and personal use. There are gigabytes of photos of my family, as well, who desperately, I don't want to lose...

    I'll be super thankful for all reasonable advice and direct instructions!

    The ' ERROR: no boot disk was detected or drive failed. "  May be a simple solution to redo the botmanager file.  This normally requires a bootable DVD with the repair function or a USD bootable with windows and repair function.  Windows 10 is installed, this would be my choice getting either the drive or the USB key.  HERE IS THE MEDIA tool of M$.  Make the work of another PC, DVD or USB and then - on PC - start problem that media and choose repair when loading of the POPup screen.  DO NOT install.  If you install it, it will eliminate your data.

    BTW: 10 Windows is installed, the HP recovery disk will return the PC to Windows 8.

  • error: no boot disk was detected...

    I have a hp pavilion 23 all of a. Message from the above subject line. I tried Windows + b + power switch. Power off, but do not restart. Computer is less than a year. Help, please!

    Sorry to hear about your problem with your needhelp0000 of Pavilion,

    I will do my best to offer your help. One of the first things to do is to make sure that the hard drive is connected and operational. To do this, you will need to check the drive when you start your computer. If you know how to get your Start menu, do. often, it is urgent or remove, F10, or (in my case) escape. Try first escape. You should get a blue screen that has many options. You want the one that says the System Diagnostics. You must enter in the hardware of PC HP Diagnostics UEFI. Click the component Tests, then click on disk, then click extended Test, then click on run once. If you receive errors from that, your hard drive is likely bad, and since it was less thn a year, the guarantee must cover a new. If it passes, then the chances are high that potentially malware/virus etc. erased windows or modified your system reserved on the disk partition, and you will need to use recovery media to try to recover. I got this error but my recovery media could do nothing, and HP has yet changed my HARD drive and my motherboard.

    Good luck!

  • CARD READER USB FOR DESKTOP HP PAVILION 500 - C60?

    I have a new 500 - C60 HP Pavilion desktop computer, but the front card reader does not accept the largest flash Compact Flash (CF) card.  I have an old USB multi-card with four different card slots, which accepts the card see  Would this setting work satisfactorly?

    Thank you

    Hello @shamrock838,

    I understand that your desktop HP Pavilion 500 - c60 PC does not support the biggest Compact Flash Memory Card and you are curious as to whether or not you can install an USB multicard Reader which accepts the memory card see First of all, you have reason 7 - in1 media card reader did it installed does not supported CF memory card, but it supports the following cards:

    • Digital safe™ (SD)
    • Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC)
    • SDXC
    • Memory Stick
    • Memory Stick Select
    • Memory Stick PRO
    • Memory Stick MagicGate

    I don't see why you can't connect the 4 - in1 USB multicard reader you have. Until the operating system detects and installs, you should be fine.

    I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Pavilion 500 C60: Free disk space D

    I have a new Pavilion 500 C60, and I am concerned about the D drive, which has a picture of "recovery."  The space used is 13.6 GB and free space is 1.94 GB. My 'hard drive' C has 8 GB.  Obviously, I'm not a computer prodigy, but I think that the D drive can fill up... and then what?  Please reassure me or tell me what I need to do.  Thank you!!

    The recovery Partition is to house recovery files to restore the PC to "new factory" - the same as it was when he arrived.  The reader is "almost complete" because it's the plan.  D: drive should not be used for anything else.   It is not an error and does not affect the use of the c: drive.
