SSD Detected But Will Not Boot?
Oct 11, 2012
I recently rebuilt my pc and when starting up, the CMOS Splash Screen is shown and when I try to load the OS in "start windows normally" it flashes a single frame of a BSOD and restarts or if I select Safe mode to use system restore,then the OS will try to load and Windows will search for the problem but not find it.I have already sent and received the Mobo, CPU, RAM, PSU and GPU for warranty testing (previously, it would not even POST) and apparently they had Windows 7 running fine once they updated the BIOS.Therefore,since everything else works fine, is my SSD dead or deadish? It is detected and I have selected it as the first preference to boot.
System Specs:
CPU: i7 2600k
Mobo: Gigabyte Z68 UD3XP
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 4x4Gb 1600 CL9
PSU: Corsair HX750
GPU: Asus DCII gtx 560 ti TOP
DVD: Lite on 22x
Case: HAF 922M
SSD: Intel 520s 128GB
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB
I will attempt to create a USB boot but would like to get the SSD going as it has my work programs. Also, has anyone had problems with the 520s? I chose that one because apparently it was more reliable.

whenever my computer restarts it gives me a message that says 'no boot sector on internal hard drive' then after a second a message pops up that says something a long the lines of 'press r1 to try reboot', etc ..everytime I hit f1 the computer will load up windows 7 fine though. But for some reason every single time I restart if gives me that 'no boot sector on internal hard drive' message

I recently bought a vaio VPCX113KG off ebay. After a month of use the pc wont boot. it comes up as "operating system not found" but the laptop doesn't have an optical drive and I can find downloadable recovery media. What should I do? I think the hard disk is being detected in the bios.

a friend of mine asked me to look at his laptop the other day.It had stopped booting to windows.No OS detected, couldn't boot from HDD, still detected in the BIOS however. It's on a laptop which has 2 IDE connections so I switched the drive to the other and changed the boot order, same problem. The disk was essentially full and he was after a new one so I suggested now could be the time. Anyway the new HDD arrived today, got hold of a copy a Windows 7 and installed it, laptop now boots fine into the new copy of windows, everything is running OK but he needs data off the old HD. I thought the new OS would be able to access it but it isnt recognised in my computer. It is still recognised as the secondary drive in the BIOS and in windows drive management but cannot access it.Drive management can see it and says the device is working properly but it wont initialize, wont turn offline and any access attempt comes up as an I/O error.It has win7 and all his data on so formatting to just save the hard drive for storage isnt an option (just yet).

I originally had been running windows XP on my desktop. About a month ago, I bought a new hard drive and installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on it. For the last month, I have been able to dual boot between Windows 7 and XP just fine.
When I tried to boot up my machine this morning, my computer no longer boots and have the following message on screen:
"Reboot and Select proper Boot Device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key"
I checked my BIOS and found that only my new hard drive and CD ROM are detected. I imagined that my old hard drive with Windows XP on it finally died. So I disconnected the old drive, but I am still getting the same issue. I have tried changing the boot order. I also tried booting with the Windows 7 setup CD and tried the repair tools. None of them recognizes the Windows 7 installed on my new hard drive. I started command prompt and was still able to see the contents of the new hard drive, with its WINDOWS directory and all my data/installed programs, so I believe the new hard drive still works. Is there anyway for me to fix this without having to reinstall Windows 7 again and lose all the data/programs I have? Does this have something to do with my XP not being bootable anymore?
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H
Harddrive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM 64MB SATA 6Gbps

So im having issues with my PNY 8gb Flash drive that im trying to use to install 7 onto my desktop. The problem is that whenever I insert it into my computer and try and boot off it, (Clean install btw) even though the bios menus detect the drive when I boot it acts as though it didnt insert. I need my desktop.

I am using Micromax 300c EVDO modem ( Datacard ) for wireless broadband connection. In one machine having Intel 915 Chipset motherboard, it is working fine. In the device manager, in the modem category, it shows correctly as " CDMA 2000 Rev A Modem ". In another machine, having Intel DG41TY motherboard, the device manager does not show modem. Only in other devices category, shows as Data services. ( in ports category both diagnostic and service ports are shown correctly)

I have a Toshiba Satelite C650 (PSC12C-00M00S) with Core i3. Previously it came with 4 GB RAM. It had previously 2GB + 2GB. What I did, I bought two 4GB RAM modules and replaced them with these two. I have Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit; But the problem is it is still showing 4GB in the System Properties. I did check the RAM slots, but they seem to be fine.

OK so this is with my sisters laptop, everything was apparently fine one day & not working the next.I've read it may be a driver issue & have re-installed the correct (I think) driver version, but this hasn't fixed the problem.

So I just moved to a new school which uses ACER TRAVELMATE 6293 as their laptops. When they first gave it to me they put a brand new battery in it and they gave me the wrong charger, greeeat, but I went back and got the correct one.Now, the laptop DOES charge. When I turn it on, it displays the battery icon with the charging icon over it if that makes sense, however it has a red cross over it and if you hover over that it says "no battery is detected". So you have no idea how long it has left to charge and so on. BUT if you take out the charger, the laptop will not turn on (as if the battery is flat, but surely it cant be because it has charged for 24 hrs.)Usually, I would just go to the IT guys/girls at school but seeing as they keep stuffing up and it is school holidays, I am hoping you kind and smart people have a solution. I have tried to get any dust out of the charger port/hole thing. And have also taken out and re-inserted the battery twice. This is driving me a bit stupid as I have homework to do. So just to make things clear, the laptop works completely find when connected to the charger except for what I said before. Oh and this is happens when I am on either the home or school image. And it runs on windows 7 of course

just purchased a Gateway P7902h Laptop on the 30th - it came with 64 bit vista and I decided to upgrade the OS to Windows 7 (64x as well).
Ever since the install the laptop has been unable to detect my graphics card, a Geforce GTX 260M. Every time I open a driver installation program (Gateway site only has the drivers for Vista 64x so I tried those, then the Windows 7 64x ones from the Nvidia website.) I get a 'could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your hardware' error.
Looking through the Device Manager under Display Adapters, it only has the Standard VGA Graphics Adapter and not the actual card itself. Can anyone help?

I'm running into this and issue and I can't peg down a cause. I recently updated my Vista HTPC to Windows 7. When booting up I can get into the OS, but the screen goes black shortly after.
I have tried two monitors: the Panasonic plasma just goes black and when I try Samsung Syncmaster LCD it looks like it's searching for digital, then analog sources.
I have an Nvidia 8400 GS card and I've tried both the 191.07 and 195.62 drivers. I've also let Windows install the drivers after uninstalling the Display Adapter in Device Manager in Safe Mode.
When I start in Safe Mode I cannot recreate the issue. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers in Safe Mode.

this gives me an Error "Failed to find a supported hardware rendering device. Ensure that your system the minimu requirements of Company of Heroes. Verify that DirectX is properly installed and that you have the latest drivers for your system." this annoys me! i know i have directX and it is v11. the minimu req of the game is DirectX9c better if you have the latest.

I got 2 DVD : One blu-ray SATA writer and another Pioneer DVD PATA writer. I replaced my motherboard. My new motherboard doesn't have any PATA port. I decided to try this: SATA Serial-ATA to 3.5 IDE PATA Converter Adapter Cable | eBay
This thing works, my DVD is detected in BIOS, UDMA mode 4. DVD is bootable with the proper media, it is also detected and works fine in WinPE booted from my Blu-ray.
The problem is with my Windows 7 installation. The DVD is not detected after I boot. I have to go to Device manager and click "Scan for hardware change", then the DVD-RW is detected and it works fine after that.
I tried many things, I uninstalled Daemon tools, VirtualBox, I tried a registry fix (lowerfilter, upperfilter), no good.

This has been a problem since moving to a Windows 7 64 bit machine.
I plug a HDD into an external USB and...nothing. Not listed in the computer "tree" when I go to administrative tools/Disk management it is not listed, and in the bottom tray there is no icon to safely eject the drive, as if it isnt even there. It is spinning though so I am afraid to unplug it lest I corrupt info on the drive.

I already posted this in the general discussion forum but since then I think it has evolved from a windows 7 problem to a hardware problem. When I turn on my laptop I'm brought to a Windows Error Recovery screen from which I could choose to either launch startup repair or start windows normally. Eventually both options lead to Windows loading files and bringing me to a screen with 2 more options. One I can choose the HDD/Operating system but there is nothing to choose. I can also choose to restore my computer using a system image, but none of the options given have helped me other than identifying that the HDD was the problem. I can also load drivers which brings me to the system 32 folder in my X: drive.

Yet I can get on the internet. So what does this message mean? I know what the DNS server does-resolves names and IP addresses, etc.

I was using two monitors with two ATI Radeon 4800 cards and that worked fine. I just purchased another monitor (Samsung) and now I cannot get it detected. The device manager is only showing 2 generic PnP monitors. I'm not sure why they would not be the specific monitors brands either (one Samsung and one Acer).
Any way of getting the third monitor detected? I've heard about deleting the graphics card drivers and then the monitor might be detected. But I do not know the procedure for doing that.
