Installation system can not find a hard drive solution
First of all, we find the reason from the periphery, a hard drive to work first must have a power supply, there is an IDE line with the motherboard.
Therefore, do not recognize the hard drive, you must first use the replacement method to exclude the IDE and power cord problems.
Exclude external factors can be found after the internal cause, the motherboard is the carrier of the hard disk, the motherboard BIOS is the management of basic hardware equipment, CMOS settings are not correct can directly lead to the motherboard does not recognize the hard drive.
The motherboard BIOS now supports the "IDE Auto Detect" feature, and the hard drive can be automatically detected.
This setting is important to be clear about the type of hard disk. If the hard disk type is set incorrectly, it is likely that the blue screen, crash, or even directly into the system.
Now SATA hard drive has become the mainstream, the latest notebooks are SATA hard drives, if you find that the notebook installation system can not find the hard drive, the CMOS set up the hard drive mode from AHCI mode into a compatible IDE mode, and then reload the system.
