What to do if your Windows does not see a harddisk? Let's deal with this problem together. A common cause is incorrectly defined BIOS settings for the priority of device downloads. So that you understand what I mean by this, imagine what you put in the settings, so that at first the computer accesses the ci-rum and only then to the hard disk.
After that, you ran or viewed thephotos in Windows and forgot to extract it. The next time you turn on the computer, it will access this media. Because it is not bootable, it is possible that it is for this reason that you do not determine the hard drive. In this case, you need to pull out the compact and try again.
If you have the second drive in the queueload, and there is no laser disk in the si-rum or USB flash drives in the USB ports, change the priority of the device loading in the BIOS settings so that your hard disk, on which the operating system is written, was the first in the startup queue. After that, you need to save the settings and restart the computer.
You did it all, but the hard drive does notis determined as before, then we continue to search for the cause. Go into your BIOS settings and see if your computer sees it from there. If not, open the system installer and check the correctness and reliability of the connections to the motherboard and the power supply. If possible, try to connect it to another computer, as well as using a different cable. When it comes to devices with an IDE interface, make sure that the BIOS allows the use of such devices.
The next reason that Windows does not seehard disk, can be covered in error with the installation of a special jumper, which changes the modes of your hard drive from the master to the slave. Make sure the correctness of its position, drawing on the scheme, which is usually drawn on the label at the top.
In my practice, I came across an extremelyan extraordinary reason, because of which Windows does not see the hard drive. After I installed the necessary parameters for myself in the BIOS, I saved them and rebooted the computer, they did not take effect and remained at the level they were before my settings. I repeated the above procedure, but it did not give me the desired result.
After some time to find out the reason, sheall the same it was found out. It turned out that a power supply was installed in the CMOS chip. As soon as I replaced it, the changes were preserved after the first attempt. So, if you can not solve your problem in other ways, try replacing the battery.
I think you now have an idea of howwhat causes it happens that Windows does not see the hard drive. Although we have not considered everything. But the rest is the work of specialists. If you tried all possible methods, but did not come to anything, entrust this to a qualified professional, so as not to aggravate the situation. These people have the necessary equipment and experience, with which they will correct your misfortune. If it does not work out even for them, most likely, you have to buy yourself a new hard drive.
