One small issue I have with this video: The title seems to include the scenario where it (BIOS) says "Hard Disk [Not Detected]", yet from what I've seen in this video and the steps given, it assumes the computer _can_ see the hard drive. The problem my computer has is that the BIOS can not detect the internal hard drive (it shows up in the 'information' tab as "Hard Disk [Not Detected]). And while this is most likely a different issue then the one this video seems to solve, It does not help that every search result for the issue I have leads here- which does not help. I hope this comment gets replies for how to solve my particular issue, and helps anyone else who keeps getting lead to this video.
An error of 'HDD Not Found' would be BIOS. So your issue is the one discussed here. Have you tried the steps seen here? Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?
@@PC_Monkey I did try the steps here. Running it in either (Legacy/UEFI), it wouldn't boot (because it couldn't find the drive). Me and my dad did manage to get some life when we used an external drive to boot it up (so it wasnt the BIOS itself, I don't think), but we still couldn't get it to read the internal drive. Our theory is that the SSD card itself has gone bad. As for what happened: I usually take care of my computers, so there wasn't any liquid spills. It could have had a windows update while I slept, but I don't know. All I can say for sure happened was that I was using it for a game when the entire system froze up and BSOD. After, when it tried rebooting, it just wouldn't load. After entering BIOS, I noticed that the area that would normally list a drive said "Hard Disk [Not Detected)".

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
In case this solution still doesn’t fix your 2100 error, how about giving a try to remove the hard drive and the SATA connector and then replug them again, as 2100 error says hard drive cannot be detected so the issue could be due to loose connection of hard drive. This finally resolved my own 2100 error.
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.
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..
Great video! Everything is up and running but my computer will not recognize my external hard drive when plugged in (worked before and it does light up). I see the hard drive fine on other computers. My keyboard works fine in the port also.
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 :)
Hello sir can you help me my Drive D keeps on disappearing after I opened my Laptop it stays for a while then it won't show again, It doesn't even show on disk management, please help
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
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
@@Acr303 sorry to hear you had such a bad experience, that sounds awful. but yeah they’re laptops are a joke. Have had so many issues with mine it’s ridiculous.
I have a problem where my ideapad i5 didn’t see the HDD, but the recovery disk used to get it going for a bit, now it doesn’t even work anymore… of course I don’t have any of the discs anymore, and my replacement SSD showed up too late for me to get it moved over. How would I go about getting the correct software/drivers if I don’t have the discs (also windows 8 was the original os but 10 was what was installed last - don’t have that either)
There is no boot mode in my Boot tab even with secure boot disabled in security. I am returning this laptop since I can not install windows as there's no detected ssd. edit: i found the solution in another video. you have to go in Bios > Configuration and disable "Intel VHD Controller". Then the SSD will be found and you'll be able to install windows on it
Hey man. I have this problem but here's the thing: Only my particular SSD is not being read. But when I put the SSD is other readers, it's being read. So basically my laptop is rejecting the one SSD that came default with the laptop.
The first method of time change worked for me.. I only changed month and it worked... I used my old hdd and it was not detecting like black screen was showing and after sometimes it went to bios so, i changed time and saved settings and boom it wokred thanks.. Alot for this kind of act
@@omicron8530 I am not familiar with that game. But you can check the recommended system specs for that game and match it to those specs you mentioned. If they meet or exceed what the game calls for then you should be good :)
This is a long problem, please bear with me. I recently installed an SSD on my Lenovo IdeaPad 330. So, I was trying to install Windows 10 on the SSD and in the windows setup where we have to select the drive partition it says "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu." To resolve this, I watched many videos where they give the solution of setting the SATA disk configuration to AHCI from IDE from the BIOS menu. But, the BIOS menu on my laptop doesn't have that option. I have been trying to find the solution for more than a week now but no luck. Please suggest something.
If you end up here, my issue was with a Lenovo without an OS. The issue was Intel VMD, it was enabled, and it caused to not read the SSD drive. Turned it off, and voila, was there
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.
I have a HP laptop, i have replaced the HDD with SSD with windows installed I want to replace the CD rom slot with a 2nd HDD in caddy. However the 2nd HDD in caddy is not getting detected, and even if it gets detected it disconnects or disappears after restarting the system. Can you provide a solution for this one please?
@@T44YPE It could mean the hard drive is on its way out, yes. I would back up your data asap, and then replace the drive. Install Windows onto the new one
1. Assuming you have a Lenovo, can you try the other steps seen in this updated video? ruclips.net/video/ML2tSMCSREc/видео.html 2. Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?
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 ?
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.

so here's my case, my lenovo sometimes start and doesnt boot after the bios and then i restart then sometimes it would load the os and work just fine. what do you think might be the problem here?
Trying for 10 hours I installed Ubuntu on the laptop and now it’s impossible to get Windows Back , I have a windows bootable usb but the ssd doesn’t show up in windows installation , I tried with cmd diskpart but same thing nothing shows up. In bios I don’t even have uefi or legacy, just enable usb boot. I tried to install other Linux distros and everything is working fine but windows can’t be installed. I don’t know why. I installed windows before on a lot of computers but this time in this laptop I recently got it’s just impossible. Lenovo Ideapad 3 15ITL6
Clear steps and easy to follow but unfortunately not sufficient as my Lenovo bios says “ hard disk not detected” and no boot manager found... do you have any suggestions for that?
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.

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
So I had an external hard drive plugged into my computer and it got shut down and restarted with it still plugged in and now it's saying hard-drive not found and the computers Harddrive isn't even listed in the boot sequence menu thingy. Do you know how to fix this?
My laptop have combo( hard disk and SSD). Both of them work fine in anouther laptop. But my laptop does not detect any hard disk or SSD. I tried every step but I think it is the motherboard fault or BIOS fault. Is there any jumper on the motherboard that can be used to solve this problem? It is Dell E6420 Laptop
Can't change the time came on ..after sitting for over a year was going to restore back to factory..left on charge came back it was on the boot menu..but the time is wrong ..but can't use f6 or f7 to change time says no odd installed .so may have to try windows usb.to reload window..but strange it came on all good ..
Hey Buddy Thank you So much...I Fix Laptops but been outta the Game for a Bit...But Thank you I Didn't know about the Legacy and the Other Versons and you took it to the Next Level with the Security Boot Scure Part that was Stopping me from Switching the Modes...But I put it on "Both" instead of Legacy and it Worked...
I have a different issue with my Acer laptop. I updated my laptop with SSD . And also I setup my used HDD using a caddy. But now my HDD not showing? Do you have any solution for this proble.
the point you made where you said it gets confused by external devices. i think that was the case. no other video had mentioned that. i was considering taking it to the store. thanks a bunch man
My date/time is correct, I switched to Legacy mode but Lenovo Y530 still cannot see SSD that is attached with EY515 NBX0001M410 (CV Rev: 0A 2018.04.25) cable. SSD drive is working in other laptop.
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
1. Are there any signs of life at all when you try to turn it on? Lights? Fan, Motherboard, or Hard Drive sounds? Anything seen on the screen? 2. You have a Lenovo?
@@PC_Monkey thanks for reply. Indeed, everything appears normal and, when I connect the SSD via a USB cable, it boots to Windows. I’ve changed the SATA cable, but the fact the DVD doesn’t work either, is puzzling.
Thank you Bro, You saved my life, after change (ThinkPad X1 Gen3) Bios UEFI to legacy working fine.Asking windows bit locker and then OS boot from PC reset ( keep existing files)
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?
Hello, I watched your videos and mine doesn't apply in any. My problem is I recently bought 1 terabyte ssd drive and i cloned my hdd. Everything went well. But the main issue is that i cant make the ssd to be the first in booting priority because it doesn't appear there. Normal what my laptop does is that it first scan hdd for the Window OS before moving to SDD and boot on it. Am using a disk caddy.. which makes me able to use 2 drive in 1 laptop.
I have problem with my laptop. It works good on its original drive, but when I switch it to other it acts strangely. It won't detect this drive, unless I put original and new drive into motherboard at one time. Then it boot from my new SSD. What can be issue? I tried two different drives so it's not problem with SSD imo.
Hdd sometimes working n sometimes not,,,, if update bios , will it be work ? ( I put that hdd to desktop n same , error)? Should I buy new hdd ?(I don't want to waste money) Please give your valuable suggestion. Thanks
Very helpful video, it turns out that my BIOS date was stuck in 2014 and that was causing my PC to not read any hard drives! Changed it to 2021 (current date) and like magic, it worked. Very odd fix for a problem that has had me and a few others stumped for hours! Thanks!
Hey. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad which is stuck in the boot menu. I had this issue several times but what I used to do is just disconnect the internal battery from it and then turn it off and it was working. However, now I cannot do anything. Also, I took it to a local computer repair place and the guys checked the ssd, said there is no problem with it and the computer is turning on now. Two days after I took my laptop from them the same thing happens again. I checked everything in the video and it seems like everything is ok. Any advices?

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
In case this solution still doesn’t fix your 2100 error, how about giving a try to remove the hard drive and the SATA connector and then replug them again, as 2100 error says hard drive cannot be detected so the issue could be due to loose connection of hard drive. This finally resolved my own 2100 error.
Yes, that is a good step to try. It was included in later updates of this video :)

Thks, I changed Legacy suport to UEFI and back to Legacy and it works.
Great to hear !! Always here to help :):)
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 !!

Thank you so much! My new Legion 5 bought this July, just couldn't find its' D drive..
Get it solved with this method.
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..
Man you're great! That fixed my problem after reset bios to default

Great video! Everything is up and running but my computer will not recognize my external hard drive when plugged in (worked before and it does light up). I see the hard drive fine on other computers. My keyboard works fine in the port also.
Same problem. How to fix them?
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 :)

I have a problem where my ideapad i5 didn’t see the HDD, but the recovery disk used to get it going for a bit, now it doesn’t even work anymore… of course I don’t have any of the discs anymore, and my replacement SSD showed up too late for me to get it moved over.

There is no boot mode in my Boot tab even with secure boot disabled in security. I am returning this laptop since I can not install windows as there's no detected ssd.

Hey man. I have this problem but here's the thing: Only my particular SSD is not being read. But when I put the SSD is other readers, it's being read. So basically my laptop is rejecting the one SSD that came default with the laptop.

I have a lenovo idealpad 3 it doesn't shunting down. When i shut down and it will on again. What i can do now
This is a long problem, please bear with me. I recently installed an SSD on my Lenovo IdeaPad 330. So, I was trying to install Windows 10 on the SSD and in the windows setup where we have to select the drive partition it says "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu." To resolve this, I watched many videos where they give the solution of setting the SATA disk configuration to AHCI from IDE from the BIOS menu. But, the BIOS menu on my laptop doesn't have that option. I have been trying to find the solution for more than a week now but no luck. Please suggest something.
Any update? same problem here
If you end up here, my issue was with a Lenovo without an OS. The issue was Intel VMD, it was enabled, and it caused to not read the SSD drive. Turned it off, and voila, was there
Well done !! Glad your all set :) Always here if needed !!
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.

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?

Trying for 10 hours I installed Ubuntu on the laptop and now it’s impossible to get Windows Back , I have a windows bootable usb but the ssd doesn’t show up in windows installation , I tried with cmd diskpart but same thing nothing shows up. In bios I don’t even have uefi or legacy, just enable usb boot.
I tried to install other Linux distros and everything is working fine but windows can’t be installed. I don’t know why.
I installed windows before on a lot of computers but this time in this laptop I recently got it’s just impossible.
Lenovo Ideapad 3 15ITL6
Clear steps and easy to follow but unfortunately not sufficient as my Lenovo bios says “ hard disk not detected” and no boot manager found... do you have any suggestions for that?

@@PC_Monkey thnx for yr swift reply! Unfortunately I don’t have a fresh install ready on a usb or so. Hence will have to go to a shop I think.
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
So I had an external hard drive plugged into my computer and it got shut down and restarted with it still plugged in and now it's saying hard-drive not found and the computers Harddrive isn't even listed in the boot sequence menu thingy. Do you know how to fix this?
My laptop have combo( hard disk and SSD). Both of them work fine in anouther laptop.
But my laptop does not detect any hard disk or SSD.
I tried every step but I think it is the motherboard fault or BIOS fault.
Is there any jumper on the motherboard that can be used to solve this problem?
It is Dell E6420 Laptop
Can't change the time came on ..after sitting for over a year was going to restore back to factory..left on charge came back it was on the boot menu..but the time is wrong ..but can't use f6 or f7 to change time says no odd installed .so may have to try windows usb.to reload window..but strange it came on all good ..

My date/time is correct, I switched to Legacy mode but Lenovo Y530 still cannot see SSD that is attached with EY515 NBX0001M410 (CV Rev: 0A 2018.04.25) cable. SSD drive is working in other laptop.
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
Thanks for video. I don’t see any HDD or DVD attached and neither do I have power to those devices (unable to install OS or open DVD tray!

2. You have a Lenovo?
@@PC_Monkey thanks for reply. Indeed, everything appears normal and, when I connect the SSD via a USB cable, it boots to Windows. I’ve changed the SATA cable, but the fact the DVD doesn’t work either, is puzzling.
@@themlotproductions You may be looking at a BIOS or Motherboard issue. I would try resetting BIOS to factory settings and try again

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 :)
Hello, I watched your videos and mine doesn't apply in any.
My problem is I recently bought 1 terabyte ssd drive and i cloned my hdd.
Everything went well. But the main issue is that i cant make the ssd to be the first in booting priority because it doesn't appear there. Normal what my laptop does is that it first scan hdd for the Window OS before moving to SDD and boot on it. Am using a disk caddy.. which makes me able to use 2 drive in 1 laptop.
I have problem with my laptop. It works good on its original drive, but when I switch it to other it acts strangely. It won't detect this drive, unless I put original and new drive into motherboard at one time. Then it boot from my new SSD. What can be issue? I tried two different drives so it's not problem with SSD imo.

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?
Hey.
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad which is stuck in the boot menu. I had this issue several times but what I used to do is just disconnect the internal battery from it and then turn it off and it was working.
However, now I cannot do anything. Also, I took it to a local computer repair place and the guys checked the ssd, said there is no problem with it and the computer is turning on now.
Two days after I took my laptop from them the same thing happens again.
I checked everything in the video and it seems like everything is ok.
Any advices?
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/YbC4jZVwQm4/видео.html. If you cant create your own, you may have to purchase it. You can see an example of a good install media USB in the Repair Tools list here; www.amazon.com/shop/pcmonkey.
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.

Hi, I still can't change UEFI to LEGACY even with Secure Boot set to Disabled (it already was. System time and date were wrong but entering the correct and rebooting didn't help. Sounds like issue with SSD? This is a 2022 Thinkbook.
