[@luketams5513]

Oh man I could kiss you dude. I replaced so many parts my laptop. Tried hard drives. Installed a new sata hdd chip onto my motherboard, everything you could thinj of. I even messed about in the bios before your video. Eventually enough messing I finally got it to boot with legacy. You legend.

[@whit4135]

@@Alex_basha i found a fix it may not work for you and you’ve probably tried it but this worked for me. i changed the sata cable and i used a different sata port on the motherboard (the third port i tried worked so try multiple) and if your hard drive shows up in BIOS but not on windows then search for disk manager on the windows search and you need to format the disk. hopefully that works. if not it’s most likely a bad hard drive.

The story is the following or the problem, whatever you want. It is a Kingston Hyperx SH103S/480GB M.2 SSD. Used as the primary hard disk with the Windows 10 operating system released together with the Asus GL502VM laptop. The laptop he is more than 3 years old. It worked well until last year....at some point it started appearing and disappearing until it reached the point of disappearing completely. I can rarely detect it in resource manager. When I can see it in resource management and the operating system asks me if I want to initialize it, I click on yes and I try to give it the GPT partition style. The operating system processes everything and after a long time the online hard disk appears grayed out and the capacity and only 32kb instead of 480 GB. I tried to use your Kingston manager software but it doesn't detect it either. While in the BIOS it appears with the name Sandforce 2000B. I think it has to do with the sleep mode problem when I put the computer in hibernation or sleep mode...The hard disk goes into panic until it disappears completely. I think it is a problem with updating the firmware. The question is how do I install an updated firmware if I can't see it and or touching it and it immediately disappears? Any suggestions? ..

[@OriginalMergatroid]

This video addresses most issues, but it does not address this error when no driver will be detected by BIOS, not even a flash drive. Cannot reinstall Windows because the system will not see any drive. (ASUS L406M) I have a feeling BIOS may be corrupted, and since I cannot get any drive to work, I can't update it. So, these solutions will not work for every example of this error. Likely good for 90% of the problems.

I couldn't find my data and pictures when trying to connect my harddrive to another pc and got some message about something broken or whatever so I got a new harddrive from someone now finally giving it another go after kinda giving up. I am still stuck in the booting menu I have no idea how to get my pictures and documents. Asked a computer repair place and they said for 100$ they look at it and diagnose the problem but that's not fixing it yet and I just can't afford all that On top of that i rlly don't know many things about laptops 😅 Do I just have to trash my laptop at this point and forget about all my data from past few years?

For an Asus computer stuck at repair loop, refer to this video; kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGK9kpqhiLmWias. However, if your hard drive is bad, you may not be able to get any data off it. You can try taking it to a repair shop. Sometimes we can get data off bad drives, but usually not.

You have to change those settings each time in BIOS? The setting keep resetting each time the computer powers off? If so, that could mean that BIOS is losing power when it turns off and the settings are resetting each time. That could be a sign that the CMOS battery is dead and needs to be replaced.

@Pcmonkey i have an asus gl504gw with an ssd and sshd. i updated the bios to version 308 yesterday. And after the update I couldn’t see my sshd anymore. Anything i can do? I have alot of data on that drive.

[@PC_Monkey]

BIOS updates can mess up sometimes :( What happens now when you try to turn the computer on?

[@dylanjansen5755]

@@PC_Monkey it just boots up normally on the ssd but it doesn’t show my sshd

@@dylanjansen5755 Weird. Must just be a weird issue with the BIOS update. You can reset it if you want to see the SSD in BIOS for some reason or just live with it as the computer is working anyway :)

If the steps in this video do not resolve your issue, then move on to attempt a new install of Windows 10 as seen here; kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4enapmGf5aYn80. You can create your own Install Media for free as seen here; kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZC4mZx-iMiUias. If Windows wont install, then you have identified the issue as your hard drive being bad. Replace it as seen here; kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIKnlHuKnNKJZrs.

Hello! I have a Lenovo G530, I have done everything I can in the Lenovo video and this one, but in the BIOS it shows there is no hdd. I have 2 options for the SSD, AHCI and IDE. Neither one works on the new SSD. It only shows up in the Windows custom install page. The old hdd works in the laptop though. I also went over and put the SSD in my desktop and it works just fine in the desktop, shows in the BIOS and works in Windows. If you know what is wrong, please do let me know. Thank you!

[@PC_Monkey]

Have you tried reinstalling Windows into it after install?

[@lockdot2]

@@PC_Monkey It is not showing a hdd in the boot area in the BIOS, also yes I have. It says the computer does not support booting off that ssd, for some reason which makes no since why, I heard maybe its due to it is a buggy kingston version and my laptop is old or something. I will be returning it and getting a Samsung SSD and seeing what happens then. Due to I have a Samsung SSD in the desktop and it works in the laptop. I hope I worded this out right, its 5am and have not went to bed. How is your day?

[@shadowwraithshade5498]

I had recently updated my laptop and when it was done restarting it gave me the stop code INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE I have no idea why but it won't let me go to my desktop it's just stuck at the same screen telling me the stop code and loops restarting idk what to do and my warranty is expired so ASUS doesn't care to help.

[@PC_Monkey]

your on the correct video. Are you able to try the steps seen here yet?

[@gamingmultigenre]

Thank you man. I wrote down my case here so anyone with the same problem like me can fix it. My laptop is ASUS X407UF with HDD SATA Storage and when i last update my windows my OS just got BSOD and after that it start slow and laggy. I used to clean up the disk and extend my c drive before using minitool parition and even i run the debloater from github so i expect my Laptop will run faster. But suddenly things goes wrong, my laptop just keep BSOD and laggy and not responding so i decide migrate my precious data file to d drive and do a reinstall Windows 10 with USB media creation tool from Microsoft. The things goes worse when i cant see my hard drive in windows installation menu, they keep asking me to select driver for my drive. So i downloaded a driver from ASUS website and then i can resume the installing process. But installing process freeze at 60% and my laptop just like reboot and now in my BIOS there is no storage detected ini SATA port.

[@gamingmultigenre]

I try to remove and plug in my hard disk and still not working, i check the date and it still up to date. The solution for my problem is the last one, i change boot option to CSOM in my BIOS because i dont get the LEGACY option and reboot, after that i went to my laptop BIOS and my storage finally there in SATA Port

[@dawin6710]

Well if by unplugging everything from the pc the problem goes away then what? that means we can never start our pc without having unplugged everything from it? what's the solution for not having to go through that? Thanks.

[@PC_Monkey]

If that was the issue with your computer, most likely, you need to change some settings in BIOS. Most likely, your HDD is not set to first in the Boot Order. Most likely, the first one is set to an external device of some kind. That makes your computer try to boot from an external device before it tries to boot from its own HDD. When it doesnt find any OS on an external device, it errors out. If you set your HDD to first, it will try to boot from that first and there shouldnt be a prob. Hope I explained that clearly.

[@ghostrag]

Thx for the info had my Asus notebook forever I take care if it like it's one of my babies 😍, when I updated my X551MA bios to 2019, saw the updated but I had to remove the stupid cmos because Asus forgot I had a hard drive, maybe because the cmos was hanging on to the 2015 bios configs. meh it worked after I replaceing the cmos ...I really don't want to take it apart again 😅

@@PC_Monkey lool....Ok so this is the 2nd time I'm having an issue with my laptop booting into the OS. Currently it keep giving the *Reparing harddrive* prompt then it simply restarts.

My laptop is ASUS ROG DL503G, Starting problematic with disk in task manager (always getting high percentage) and then just 2 days ago, it became even slower and hard to read the hard disk (either the BIOS dont read it at all or when I start the laptop, it shows "scanning and repairing drive"). And just today the laptop cannot read it at all, already tried to re-plug the HDD but doesn't change anything. At BIOS, boot option, there are no boot option at boot option priorities(only fast boot "enabled"). At SATA Configuration, all of the information of the hard disk written N/A. Any advice? This shit really put a headache, and the warranty just over a month ago. What a piece of crap. Anyway, thanks for the video.
