What do I do if my keyboard won't register my press in order to enter bios? I have windows installed already on my internal SSD, and my external SATA. Some help would be appreciated

[@fr0st_018]

i had a broke laptop for like 4 years and i didn t know how to resolve my problems. Thanks i have some friends that gave me some advices, but must importantly this video resolved all of my problems. Thanks a lot.

[@LowDoughTech]

Glad to hear that!

[@psychicbabe3273]

Whenever i encountered this kind of error, First thing ill do is to check if the HDD is detected in the BIOS followed by checking the boot sequence if the hdd is the priority.

[@pinata9304]

Thanks. I looked at my head drive and instantly noticed the sata cable unplugged 😂😂😅

[@LowDoughTech]

Those are the best fixes!

[@MrK-Lyrics]

When I tried to boot to hdd, it worked but for the ssd, it didn’t work. The ssd has windows 10 on it and it can boot from another computer. Please fix this issue

[@3ConservativeGimps]

I learned a trick to revive dead hard drives by putting them in a anti-static bag and put it in the freezer overnight then let them warm up for several hours put in a PC or Laptop and boot with a USB stick. It worked for me but it may not work every time.

[@LowDoughTech]

I've heard of that but never tried it. I'll have to keep that in mind. It would probably be a temporary fix at best for a platter drive, I can't imagine it would do anything for an SSD, but it doesn't cost anything to try it.

[@yadrak2354]

I'm loving your content. The rant made me laugh. Thank-you

[@mekuranda]

Love the rant! ...I doubt I would have been as reserved ;)

[@LowDoughTech]

I try to keep it family friendly...most of the time. Haha.

[@it4u214]

Very well presented easy to following and useful information thanks

[@AntiFrivolity]

I fixed this by poking at the wires and it worked. When I say poked I literally jiggled every wire to make sure that it wasn't loose

[@KaizuoSilva]

what if my windows is on a nvme ssd and i get this error?

[@OneKingX]

I just installed a new HDD and SDD, I have Windows 10 on a USB, and nothing seems to fix it.

[@mahieddinehafdi171]

i like so much your videos, you help me being professional as well 😁 thanks. i have a question to Ask and i Hope i'll get the answer bcause i'm confused: Why does the SSD drive have a small storage size than the HDD drive but it's more expensive 😵

[@LowDoughTech]

SSDs are much faster than platter hard drives. They are more expensive to produce at this point in time. I speculate that some day, as the technology becomes more widespread and mass produced, SSDs will be cheaper than the obsolete technology. But that will be a little while yet.

[@Nata-nf1ld]

I had my sata cords disconnected, this gurl said she knows about pcs n for sum reason my new gpu wasnt leting my pc boot up little did i know she didnt know anything about pcs i need help , when i put my new gpu in it shows my dell loading screen then got black then says no signl looked it up everywhere n tryed everything havent found 1 solution 😭

[@dylan8994]

Thank you so much mate, you really saved me!

[@LowDoughTech]

Glad to hear that!

[@yumeayami]

My hard drive had died and I have a usb ssd and nothing has worked, I’m gonna die if I can’t fix it I’m no longer gonna be alive

[@Reaconteur]

My laptops drive has blue rubber around it how should I remove it?

[@LowDoughTech]

Sorry I didn't see this comment sooner, it's probably just for impact/jarring protection, it probably "peels" off like a rubber phone or tablet case would. Just don't force it, because you won't want to rip it, so you can put it back on the new drive.

[@scottfekete2982]

What's going on mine is a m.2 and detected in the bios but won't boot

[@jfilm7466]

Would it be a good idea to tape the screw close on the outer case to where it came from or would that cause problems?

[@OIdiesCentral]

But i'm getting the message while i'm trying to install xp and no matter how i set bios boot order to cd rom.

[@orangehatperson6381]

My computer fell and it appears that images

[@LowDoughTech]

I would check for an unseated hard drive cable first.

[@pp4289]

Thank you so much you really helped me out

[@trobin-zm8wb]

Please help me. I have fast boot enabled so I cannot access my bios setup because it takes me to the “reboot and select proper boot device” screen

[@GlobalWar126]

Can damaged hard drive detected by bios and windows instalation?

[@rebelz7636]

My keyboard is not working

[@rebelz7636]

While I try to do that

[@FlPIOS]

A very informative video but I have a question? I am building a ox for the first time and my issue is that the bios recognizes my usb but when I shutdown and turn it back on it shows that splash screen

[@johncarlovaldez8195]

It is possible that I delete the os accidentally. So that will happen?

[@plathanos159]

I think that I did that... ooops

[@Vakatzu]

so im thinking of doing this with my laptop but i have a question. when you redownload windows on the new drive, will it download the drivers with it?

[@LowDoughTech]

For the most part, Windows 10 is very good about recognizing all of the hardware in the system. It's not too much like the old days of XP. It will //probably// just recognize everything without needing to find drivers.

[@Vakatzu]

Low Dough Tech ok thank you !

[@koutrou3748]

Please HELP. Ι have an nvme that has my OS on it and in the bios it recognises the drive but i still get the same error messege. Also I got the PC to boot after a few tries but when i shut it off it does the same the next time. Please help me ask me anything

[@splice8619]

just had to break my sata cable and plug in my ssd in a different slot, then plugged in hardrive after i installed windows, btw i just built it idk if u have files on it already

[@seriouslymason]

I’m so effing sick of having problems..

[@arley.]

My pc was left out in the cold for like 2 days and everything works just fine but my hard drive is no making any sound or being detected

[@LowDoughTech]

Is it a solid state drive or mechanical? If it's a solid state, it won't make any noise regardless.

[@gothy9354]

I have a question. So I just built my pc and that error keeps on coming up. Is my ssd not working? My bios says I have a ssd. I can only go Into bios and not letting me Install windows because of that error. Need help ASAP. Also should I just get a new ssd?

[@LowDoughTech]

Are you able to boot from a Linux Live Usb and browse to the contents of the SSD?

[@dirkthejerk529]

I have this problem, but how can I have this problem without having a hard drive, I only have a SSD? Please explain

[@LowDoughTech]

An SSD is a hard drive, if it's faulty, it will throw the same error.

[@dirkthejerk529]

@@LowDoughTech How do I know it’s faulty if you don’t mind telling, because it’s brand new I haven’t even used the SSD, I just build the pc.

[@dirkthejerk529]

@@LowDoughTech Thanks for the quick response btw

[@LowDoughTech]

If you just bought it, it's probably not the SSD. Have you attempted to install an OS on the new SSD? Does the OS installation process recognize the SSD?

[@dirkthejerk529]

@@LowDoughTech Well I just build the pc so I want to install windows on it so I plug a external hard drive into the usb port to boot windows from (because I wasn’t able to put windows ISO file on a flash drive I use a external hard drive, the reason I couldn’t get the file on a flash drive was because of like something with FAT32) and than I get this message “reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key” I’m also not getting into the bios. Maybe I get this message because I try to boot windows form external hard drive instead of a flash drive

[@jerrymoreno7267]

This question doesn’t necessarily involve the video but I’m currently having the same problem on my computer and when I go to BIOS and try to fix it doesn’t do anything and I need a windows management boot option but it doesn’t show up, any idea on how to get windows boot management on the BIOS screen?

[@rugg42021]

Im having this exact issue right now

[@Deszired]

Hey! i know its been a year later but did you ever resolve this issue?

[@enon661]

Ok so I just bought parts to make a pc and I but it all together, I can get into bios and change things but when I go to boot it up I see my hard drive to chose, and when I click it, it just brings up that stupid screen. The thing is that I cant even get windows because I cant even get onto the computer other than bios... what’s happening

[@LowDoughTech]

Are you booting from the Windows install USB?

[@jenniegonzalez5451]

omg it’s the same for me😔

[@enon661]

@@jenniegonzalez5451 I figured what to do. You need yo buy a like usb and go onto a different computer and download windows onto that usb. Then take it out and plug it into ur new pc and go and launch it from that. Itll work

[@flre_rgue3916]

Hey, I have this issue but I don't think it's my hard drive because when i enter the bios my hardrive shows up but my m.2 which has my OS on it isn't showing could it be that? Also my computer was working than it froze and shut off and gave me this screens. Thanks

[@LowDoughTech]

The if the M.2 drive isn't showing in bios, that's bad news; that's pretty indicative of device failure.

[@flre_rgue3916]

Low Dough Tech does that mean it’s the m.2 drive?, do I need to replace my m.2 ssd?

[@LowDoughTech]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but yes, the m.2 drive sounds like it's gone bad.

[@flamingoxe5984]

2:42. Okay so I did see my drive with windows drop down there with the same amount of storage used. What should I do to fix this?

[@LowDoughTech]

I see from your other comment that you're getting the system boot failure error, but if you can see the drive in Linux, that's good, it could mean that it's only logical corruption. If you're seeing that drive, before you do anything, see if you can mount it, and back up the important data from that drive. From there, see if you can boot from a Windows installer and do a repair install. If that doesn't work, you will probably need to format the faulty drive, and do a fresh install, and restore the files that you backed up. If the fresh install fails, the drive is probably physically hosed in some way, and you'll have to replace the drive and do a fresh windows install.

[@flamingoxe5984]

Low Dough Tech Thank you so much. When you say to mount the drive could you explain what that means? And also in Linux the drive shows a yellow triangle like this one ⚠️ instead of a free square 🟩. I’m assuming that I will be able to access the files still if I boot up my system with a windows stick. However if I am wrong about this or if the triangle is a problem could you correct me? Thank you and God bless you 😃

[@LowDoughTech]

@@flamingoxe5984 In Linux from the search bar, type "Disks" this should give you an interface that will show all of the disks in the system. Click on the Windows disk, then under that, you should have what looks like a "Play button" to mount the disk. If the disk isn't completely hosed, it should mount with no problems. However, if the disk is shot, you may not be able to mount it, and the data on that disk will be lost.

[@flamingoxe5984]

Low Dough Tech The play bottom is missing it only has the settings part. Could this be a formatting problem or is my disk lost? It’s okay if it’s lost the most ill loose is time spend downloading everything I had
