Setup did not find any hard disk installed

I'm trying to re-start Windows XP on a disk (file missing or corrupt ntoskrnl.exe). Whenever I press the 'R' to repair key I get this error message:

Setup did not find any hard drives installed in your computer. Make sure that the hard drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that any hardware configuration of the drives is correct. This may involve a diagnosis provided by the manufacturer or the installer running. Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3

Someone at - it ideas?

Hello

It is perhaps that the hard drive is not connected properly. Make a person qualified to check the connections of the hard drive to make sure they are solid, you need to maybe disconnect and reconnect both ends of the cable.

I suggest you return the article mentioned below to learn how to fix ntoskrnl.exe.

Error message: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem.

  • Install XP: Setup did not find any hard disk installed

    I have this old computer. When I try to install Windows Xp, it says that Setup did not find any hard disk. I have readers of diskette and cd on the computer. A source told me that I need a SATA RAID driver until I do.

    Windows XP
    AMIBIOS
    MSI

    Correct, you will need to download the appropriate TXTmode drivers and put them on a floppy disk. If you have a MSI motherboard in your system, you will get these drivers from MSI.

    It would be also possible to get Windows to load with a change in your BIOS settings, but I recommend that get you the correct drivers.

    If the bios does not see it, installing XP will ever either.

    Some older laptops have a problem with the largest hard disks (more), I return the drive and see if they have a 120 GB model.

    Can also be that you just got a bad.

  • Qosmio G30 - Setup can't find any HARD drive

    I can't change windows MSE for vista on my G30 set up can not find any hard disk installed on it, but with toshiba drive reanimator it works! can anyone help?

    If I understand you right you use a disc of Microsoft to install Vista.

    Have you heard of driver SATA? You will need this driver otherwise that your HARD drive will not be recognized.
    Download drivers (as far as I know the Intel Storage Manager) and load it after booting from the CD or use you nLite.

    In the forum are already a lot of thread on this Yes please read a little.

  • Satellite A210-19Z - BIOS does not find my HARD disk

    My HARD drive crashed so I bought a new and now my BIOS can not find it, and when I try to install XP, it says that it cannot find any hard disk.
    What should do? The new HARD drive is a Samsung SATA 2.5 "artno:HM121HI...

    Please help me... I'm going crazy...

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The BIOS should recognize the new HARD disc without any installed SATA drivers!
    The SATA drivers are needed only for Windows OS!

    Please check the position of the jumper on the HARD drive. Usually, these riders are avaialbel for 3.5 HARD disk but some 2.5 drives hard also supports a rider where the master/slave/c-salt settings could be changed

  • Cannot start Windows, Windows Setup does not detect the hard disk, Bootmgr is misiing

    I have a few problems on my laptop [Acer 3810 t]

    -The first problem
    My mobile give me screen "cannot start windows' who have 2 choices: run the Startup Repair tool and boot normally. I chose to fix it, but nothing happens and stuck "starting windows" and gives unmountable boot volume 'blue screen '. the Dungeon of blues screen appear (for laptop is a not restart). So I turned off my phone and turn it back on it. the "could not start" screen again and I chose to start normally. but the result is negative. My portable Dungeon cannot start windows. Because of that I am using the advanced boot option and choose all the boot type such asit cannot load the safemode, last configuration etc, but the result is the same, you cannot start windows. in safe mode, its stuck in loading fileinfo.sys. I do not give up to try again with the advanced boot option. until I have a bad situation. My laptop can only 1 file in safe mode and blues screen do not appear again (my laptop only return at the beginning of start or restart)

    -The second problem
    because it cant solved, I want to reinstall my laptop. My OS is Vista 32 bit (pre-installed). I want to install the new operating system, windows 7. I use Dsik Flash bootable USB to install Windows 7. But in the BIOS, it is detected as a USB HDD. So I set my BIOS to load USB HDD to the first order. the installation can be done, but only until the "start Setup" screen and its deadlock. I have it wait up to an hour, but nothing happens. So I'm going to BIOS, change SATA mode to IDE mode AHCI. Then load the USB and go "installation program start screen. but the new problem is the installation of window does not detect my hard drive. So I can not choose the place to install the operating system. I have to load the driver, but I did not. Again to load the configuration to AHCI and IDE, until I get my HDD can detected in IDE mode. So I think I can move easily, I choose custom installation and choose the hard drive to install the operating system. But unfortunately, at the beginning of the process, after choosing the OS, the Installer gives error if installation location the installation failed. (I forgot the error message)

    -The third problem
    So far, I can't spend 'startup begins' as well in mode IDE and AHCI. Also bootmgr in my hard disk is missing, so I can't go to move the startup repair or the startup option in my HDD as before

    What is the error code that you got with blue screen?

    I think that there is a problem with your drive HARD check that by contacting acer...

  • R50 may not detect any hard disk

    Hi guys,.

    Ive got a R50.

    Recived with no hard drive installed.

    Put a disk of 10 GB inside Ibm. Worked very well. Then my hard drive died. I tried to replace it with many readers and no detection in the unit. Toshiba-MK6014MAP was not detected. A seagate ST94019A. ALSO have an IBM Travelstar IC25N020ATCS04-0, which does not detect.

    I found but cannont find the R5X support each tested hard drive list. Can someone point me in the direction of this HDD compatibility list it would be great.

    See you soon

    My guess would be that readers are not inserted correctly or do not sit right in the caddy. It takes 1/10 mm for a player is not being recognized in the BIOS.

    I have owned dozens of units R5x and will specify that there is no such thing as 'an incompatible reader' on any R50/p/e or R51. R52s get the "2010" error, but the drive is still recognized and operational.

    I hope this helps.
