@@PC_Monkey I cannot find the boot mode or fast boot option anywhere...plzz help
@@incog7157 If you cant locate and change these BIOS settings or changing them does not work, then move on to try the Windows install as seen here; ruclips.net/video/Wu0c8wR5Ltk/видео.html. You can create your own Windows 10 Install Media for free as seen here; ruclips.net/video/g_UhiHScaSI/видео.html. If that fails, then the issue is most likely a bad Hard Drive. Replace as seen here; ruclips.net/video/uZkmsJW5bbc/видео.html, and install Windows to the new drive.
Thanks, this turned out to be easier than i thought

Bro, you have no idea how your video saved my life.. My friend gave me their Lenovo Laptop for OS update and driver installation as the local service center was asking too much for it. I was casually downloding all the softwares and updates and the pc wanted to do a restart. I allowed that and boom.. Installation media is not detected. It was my friends only device and he had he needed it for his classes in a few hours.. I tried everything and it didn't work out. I thought maybe I killed it. Then I found your video.. Turns out that it was just the UEFI/Legacy toggle that needed to be changed.. And I tried putting another drive and all that..
Worked.. Thank you so much 💜

Bro, I m not getting D drive option only for "new apps will save to " for remaining I m getting D option like "new music or videos will save to " pls help bro
You did not mention one important thing. That is Intel the VMD controller. In some cases that might be the problem, such as Lenovo Intel 11 gen laptops for example (it may happen with some other Intel generations). So what happens, the NVMe SSD will not bi visible for the operating system, after the initial setup, where you choose where to install the operating system to. The solution, you need to disable the Intel VMD controller and switch it to an AHCI mode, only then you will be able to continue with the installation.
Thanks man !!
I am glad if I helped you.@@ivankovacevic3387

Bro this guy is a legend after 3 years he still see the comments and reply to them, i watch the video for my friend cuz he is hopeless about it and want to give it to troubleshooter stores to fix it but I don't trust them so I really wanted to help him faster and learn a bit by myself I hope this method work for him and thank you
Good luck !! Let me know how it goes :)
@@PC_Monkey his dad gave the laptop to the troubleshooter guy in laptop store and fixed it and when my friend checked the bios, secure boot was disabled
I updated the bios on my new Ideapad 5, then Windows can't see the SSD. The latest bios version does not show the ability to switch between UEFI and Legacy mode. Even though I deactivated "secure boot" in itself didn't help. The Intel VMD controller had yet to be turned off and the system was finally recovered. Maybe it will help someone :)
Thx !! Well done figuring it out :)
Tnx man, that helped me!

My laptop has both an ssd to boot off of and a second hard drive. It'll boot with the ssd but it won't detect the hard drive. Will this work to fix that or is this something else
Did you find a fix?
No, sent it to lenovo to repair and got it back with the working HDD but now the SSD wasn't being detected, after sending it again nothing was done to it and it was sent back. Lenovo Customer Service sucks honestly lol never really buying a laptop from them again

Very informative and thank you for the specific descriptions of changing BIOS settings! I have a Lenovo Laptop T450 running Windows 10, I tried upgrading to an internal 2.5 Western Digital 500 GB SSD, every time I turned the unit off and then back on it could not find the SSD, tried a BIOS update from the Lenovo driver site for SSD, no change, decided to go back to HDD. Could that be incompatibility with WD brand or an issue detecting SSDs? Notice they make no guarantees of compatibility
Broooooo thats op thanks its really working
Great to hear !! Always here to help :):)
Thank you so much 🥰
Your welcome !! Happy to help :)
Nice configuration of boot
Hello, by any chance did you have where using SSD in some point blue screen show up, I ran SSD tools and healthy, so wich one could be the problem?
The laptop that I was trying to repair it won't read anything plugged into the SATA port and when something is plugged into the SATA Port it just gives you an error. It wont even let you boot to a USB drive or enter the BIOS but once you remove the SATA drive you can boot perfectly fine and even see the hidden SSD that uses a Wi-Fi connector not an m.2
bro very very thanks
Your welcome !! Happy to help :)
Mine was 2 hours back thanks a lot
I had the same problem with my Acer computer. I ran a defrag scan over night and the next morning I got up, the computer had froze, so I rebooted it and the OS wouldn't load and I went into the BIOS settings and now it says it has no hard drive. I since bought a Mini PC to tide me over until I can afford to get a more powerful machine but I lost a lot of photos and music I was working on, on that other PC, you have any tips as to how I can get it back running again?
For that issue with an Acer computer, refer to this video first; ruclips.net/video/S7_3toBNYgY/видео.html
Thanks for the great easy to follow video, unfortunately this didn't fix my issue. If I reinstall the windows operating system will I lose everything (files/documents/pictures) currently on my laptop? Is there a way to prevent this?
Assuming the HDD is still good, then there is a way to install Windows without losing all the DATA. You can see me install Windows to a Lenovo here; ruclips.net/video/l3AVGlVWUsI/видео.html. In that video, you see me deleting all the partitions before install. That is what deletes the DATA. If you want to save your DATA, do not delete them as seen.
Please help me, i have lenovo ideapad 330, i tried to follow the steps for the one that boot mode is greyed out, i changed my secure boot to disabled but there's no option for using the legacy boot. And also i noticed that my secure boot status is also greyed out and it says "disabled" when yours is enabled. Is this related on why the boot mode is greyed out too? But i cant change it to enable since it's greyed out. What should i do?
If you cannot locate the options to switch between or if switching does not work, then skip that step and continue with the rest of the video :)

I'm changing CD rom to HDD in Lenovo idepad 305, However the HDD didn't show up in Disk Management, But can be seen in BIOS, tried to change from UEFI to Legacy but it didn't solve it, any idea? The HDD work well if I take out from CD rom port and connect it using USB port
How can you view your boot order? Your bios looks the same as mine, and I’m wondering where I can see the list of devices and the booting order?
Also I saw when you switched to legacy mode from uefi, the boot priority option that was next said UEFI first. Should you also switch this to legacy?
Sir my laptop is asus vivobook x442u i change my dvd to ssd so now i have double storage 1 ssd is for windows , 2 hdd for storage purpose like game,movie,some program etc, the problem is after update bios to version 309 my hdd is not detected in bios but when already log in to windows i can open it on my pc and run program normaly from hdd but still weird because when i restart and open bios again hdd still not detected just my ssd that got listed on bios how to fix this ?
My hard disk is not detected what should I Do?
Thank you for the video. I have a question, I followed you thru. I was in EUIF changed to legacy it restarted to preparing auto fix repair then a blank screen and unable to shut off
If you cannot locate the options to switch between or if switching does not work, then skip that step and continue with the rest of the video :)
