A fairly common problem - related to the fact that the computer does not see the HDD (hard drive), is solved very simply.

Firstly: you should check the cable connections that connect the hard drive to the motherboard; if you have a laptop, you do not need to check the cables :).

Secondly: a very common solution to this problem is to set the HDD (hard drive) as the first priority in the BIOS boot order. During BIOS boot, press the "DEL" key to enter the BIOS settings. Go to the "BIOS" tab, and then to the "BOOT Priority" tab, and there set your HDD as the first priority.

Press the F10 key -> save the settings and restart your computer: Windows should start. windows-ne-vidit-zhestkiy-disk-1 Additionally, you should check if your controller is enabled. If your hard drive interface is "IDE", be sure to enable "Marvell IDE controller" in the BIOS settings; your controller may have a different name. If that doesn't help, try connecting the hard drive cable to a different slot. windows-ne-vidit-zhestkiy-disk-2

None of the methods help and Windows does not see the hard drive?

In that case, we advise you to contact a professional, as the problem may be a malfunction of the HDD itself. If you are well-versed in such matters yourself, we advise you to check the jumper settings, which should be set correctly, so that the BIOS displays the HDD and Windows boots.

  • Максим 26.07.2016

    Была проблема с жестким диском, думал все, сломался, а как оказалось, просто пришлось открыть BIOS и поставить загрузчик с жесткого диска на первое место.Спасибо вашему сайту за полезную информацию.

  • Максим1993 26.07.2016

    Спасибо, что есть скрины, чтобы наглядно всё увидеть. Всё понятно написал автор. У меня было такое, что на жестком нужно кабеля подергать и решалась проблема с дисководом, дисковод не видел комп.

  • Алексей Рязанцев 26.07.2016

    Спасибо, помогло. Зашел в Биос, а там жесткий диск почему-то вообще не показывает для загрузки. Поставил его на первое место, сохранил данные настройки и все отлично сразу же заработало.

    Хорошая инструкция. Но как правило, если система не видит HDD, то это означает, что , скорее всего, он попросту вышел из строя и его не вернуть. Конечно, попытаться привести в чувства винчестер можно, но если с его механикой произошел сбой или сгорел контроллер, то это уже все.

  • Олег 08.12.2015

    Хорошо что написали про Bios, а то про такие разделы мало кто знает, а тут получил информацию и сам исправил, и не надо искать специалиста. Спасибо вам.

  • Миха 08.12.2015

    Спасибо за статью, а также за фото, по счастью, у меня оказался такой же BIOS и я с легкостью решил проблему

  • Иван 08.12.2015

If Windows does not see the printer, the problem almost always lies in driver issues. However, we also recommend checking the clarity of the printer cable connections to the computer, as well as the functionality of the printer itself. If the connections are established and the printer is working, you should install/reinstall the printer driver in the Windows OS. This procedure is quite easy and will not take much time and effort. 1) Launch "Device Manager", to do this, open "Control Panel"

It is not uncommon for users to experience that the Windows XP operating system does not load. As a rule, this happens for no apparent reason, since the OS was loading normally not long ago, and then problems suddenly arose. There can be many reasons for this, and there are a number of the most common causes why the OS stops loading. Also, you should pay attention to how exactly the OS does not load—whether it does not load at all or stops loading after the Windows XP logo with a progress bar appears.
