HDD is not detected. Please help.

hi friend..is it your secondary hard disk or primary?? if it is secondary HD, it supposed to work well. but if it is your primary HD, and no other HDs than this one, you need to format and reinstall your operating system.

Hi buddy, Please check the jumper settings of your new HDD, make sure to set it as master.

Hello friend,

If you have got a new hard disk and as you are saying that your hard disk is showing raw disk, you don't need to be worried. I am telling you what the crap is all about.

1. First of all check the jumper settings (same as the old hard disk had)

2. While the installation of windows, as you said, you must be getting information as raw data, format that as it is unformatted, therefore it is showing raw data.

3. Create the partitions and then install the windows, things will work as it is new hard disk you need to create partitions first and then do the proceedings.

Install the windows and enjoy the work.

Thank you!

Not showing on the BIOS?

One possibility is some incompatibility issue between your motherboard and the new hard disk. I assume that it is a big capacity hard disk.

If after setting the jumper on the HDD does not solve the problem, ensure that the HDD is not sharing the cable with any other device if it is an IDE HDD. Or maybe it is a SATA HDD? Then maybe you should check the BIOS setting.

If directly using an OS installer does not help, use another computer to have the HDD partitioned and formatted. It worked when I faced the same problem.

Hey,

I don't really know how to actually fix your problem with your hard drive, I am honestly sorry about this. Hopefully someone else will be able to answer your question better than I have done, in a really good way so you can actually benefit from it. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!
