My Hard Drive Can't Be Read??

Hey, my desktop computer of late recently crapped out it seem. At first when I reboot it seems fine, but afterwards when it says Primary Master, Primary Slave, etc. my thorny drive isn't read. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

My Hard Drive Can't Be Read??

Shutdown your computer and check harddrive wiring and pullover setting on all devices connected to this harddrive next to the same cable. There can't be more afterwards one Master and Slave on the same controller. Also if you chose a CS (Cable Select) route on one of them the rest MUST be set to CS as well.

Reboot your computer and while it boots stop the process to enter BIOS. Check if you can detect your harddrive in attendance.

If it is not a system drive and you can boot windows, unscrew <Control Panel><Administrative Tools><Computer Management>

Got to Storage, Disk Management

Check if you can see you drive there.



If nought worked, it sounds as a bad drive. You conceivably able to salvage some notes from it, but not use it.
