What happens when a computer can’t find the hard drive?
Thread Content
It’s frozen; when trying to install the system using a CD, it shows that the hard drive cannot be found
There’s a high possibility that the hard drive is damaged; try replacing it with another one....
It’s probably broken or the wiring connection is poor
First, remove the hard drive from the computer. Boot up using a CD, then wave the removed hard drive in front of the camera on the computer, and finally reinstall the hard drive – that should do it. If that doesn’t work, then the computer must be broken.
Check the cable connecting the computer’s hard drive
Remove the hard drive and try it on another computer; if it is recognized, it’s best to back up the data first before attempting to format it!
