| 1162628 | 2010-12-17 18:32:00 | Would it be an issue with the entire PSU? I don't have any other PSUs. Is it a power issue? Could BIOs recognize my WDC640 with no power? Maybe if I just switched the plug into the HD? | Sirus (16133) | ||
| 1162629 | 2010-12-17 19:32:00 | Ok so it isn't a power issue. BIOs can recognize the drive but when booting from the windows CD, it can't find the drive at all. I don't think that'd mean all the files are erased. Since, my second drive has all its files and doesn't have windows. If my C: drive was erased then it should just show an empty drive right? Or no? It doesn't detect the drive at all. | Sirus (16133) | ||
| 1162630 | 2010-12-17 20:24:00 | I reset my CMOS and the issue still continues. So thats not it. | Sirus (16133) | ||
| 1162631 | 2010-12-17 22:35:00 | Have you tried booting recovery console from the Windows CD and running CHKDSK as pctek said? | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1162632 | 2010-12-17 23:03:00 | I can't run chkdsk on a disk that isn't recognized. The drive shows up in BIOS but not when booting from the windows CD. | Sirus (16133) | ||
| 1162633 | 2010-12-17 23:08:00 | Is your drive a SATA drive in AHCI\SATA mode? If so, you will need to load the correct controller drivers when the recovery console starts up. |

| 1162634 | 2010-12-18 01:59:00 | Alright, by doing some commands and startup repairing i was able to get my windows drive to be recognized so I can chkdsk and try fixing it. Windows booted by got BSOD 0x0000007B. Startup repair couldn't fix the issue but said the root cause was by an updated driver or upgrade. I am running chkdsk c: /f /r currently. | Sirus (16133) | ||
| 1162635 | 2010-12-18 02:06:00 | 0x0000007b usually means its a SATA hdd, and the BSOD appears because there are no SATA drivers (it can't find the hdd, if AHCI is enabled, and you didnt add the SATA drivers during install). Disable AHCI in the BIOS | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1162636 | 2010-12-18 02:22:00 | Though, if Windows was installed with AHCI enabled, you should try to fix the driver problem rather than turn AHCI off. Changing modes can often lead to even more problems. |

| 1162637 | 2010-12-18 02:29:00 | True it depends if it was enabled and the drivers were added during the install. Or if it was disabled and you enabled AHCI in the BIOS after. Which will be why its crashing now |
