• Setup did not find any hard drives installed in my computer

  HI -.

  I own a laptop Presario X1015US and recently bought a new hard drive for her (Western Digital Scorpio Blue PATA 160 GB) but when I insert the operating system CD it goes through the entire process until it gets to a page where it says:

  Family Windows XP Setup

  
  

  Setup did not find any hard drives installed in your computer.

  
  

  Make sure that the hard disks are turned on and properly connectd 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.

  I'm not sure of what I am doing wrong and hope someone can help me.  For example -.

  -J' checked the Bios and I do not see where the drive sits - have I missed something?

  -The drive I bought compatible for this model - electronic Fry told me that it is.

  Thank you

  Charles

  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.

  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.

• 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.

  Hi all. I got this laptop from a friend, but it had a bios password and nobody knew what it was. I try to install windows xp professional on this topic.

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Paul. Thanks a lot for your quick response! I did what you said and now windows installs beautifully. I had somehow sorted bios password history by reading the Internet, and after MUCH advice to try all of a sudden. I'm if happy there are smart people like you out there!

• 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.

• Dell Vostro 430 sometimes breaks down and does not find the hard drive in the bios

  So I have this old - ish Dell Vostro 430, intel cpu, windows 7 hard disk sata 250 GB, 4 GB of ram.

  Update BIOS to the latest version 2.4.0

  In certain exceptional circumstances, this PC sometimes crashes in windows, it is restarted, and then when he comes back it does not find the hard drive as a gift. He is not seen in the bios and does not start.

  To fix, I have to unplug the power cable, wait a few seconds, plug in, reboot the computer and it starts normally, load windows and everything.

  So far, I have tried to paginate on another hard disk, reinstall the Windows operating system from scratch, and same thing happens from time to time.

  It is difficult to find the cause of the problem, because this happens very rarely.

  Sometimes, when the pc is turned on for the first time in the morning, the hard drive is not found by the bios and we reappear at the same trick (disconnect the power cable) to take him back.

  When it crashes when using inside Windows, it seems that the reason is the computer can't find the hard drive.

  Such computer is out of warranty.

  It would be nice to just throw this computer because it is still fine for the work it has to do, + I have Windows and Office OEM license on it, as well as many other software that I have to reinstall etc.etc.

  No idea what I could troubleshoot?

  Maybe change the motherboard? How can I buy a new motherboard for an out of warranty Dell?

  While possibly keeping all the OEM licenses (Windows 7 and Office 2007).

  That will make hard to resolve this situation.

  • Have you tried to replace the battery in the motherboard, if nothing else than to exclude it? CR2032, 3-volt lithium-ion, ~ $2 at discount stores. Do not forget to open the BIOS Setup and copy down all current settings first because remove battery BIOS resets the default values, which is maybe not correct for your specific system.
  • Have you tried another SATA data cable, or reinstall the existing at both ends?
  • Have you reinstall RAM and PCI card in their slots?
  • Have you used canned air to blow out the dust?
  • Maybe a power supply problem... ? If insufficient voltage, he could not start the HARD drive quite fast at startup, or quick enough after your option settings to be able to turn the HARD drive off when it is not accessed, what may cause this error message 'not found '.
  • If you use a power strip or surge protector, have you deleted and the PC connected directly to a wall jack?

  If it is a motherboard defective and you replace it with another jury of Vostro 430, you shouldn't have any problems with Windows or Office licenses. Assuming you are using Windows Dell reinstall for exact same version of Windows drive that was installed at the factory, it should not even ask the product key, if you must reinstall Windows on the HARD drive. But even if she asks, there should be a sticker somewhere on the PC with your unique product key so you can enter if the installer made the request.

  and make sure you have the Office product key too...

  Inspiron 6000 can not see any hard drive.

  Readers can be seen and accessed by other machines.

  The BIOS seems to be set correctly, not that there is much that can be done for her.

  Seems that the motherboard is the question.

• How to get a product key, that I had a new hard drive installed in the computer shop and it seems that there is no key for windows 7

  Original title: window 7

  Hi can one tell me how to get a product key, that I had a new hard drive installed in the computer shop and it seems that there is no key for windows 7, I just brought Office 2016 and he did not finish the load down with the windows key 7.

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive, but less expensive full version

  OEM System Builder version:

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

  You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

  There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)
