BIOS Detect Hard Drive but Windows Does Not in Windows 10/8/7

Geeks - If your BIOS is detecting your hard drive but Windows is not, it is possible that the drive is not properly formatted or is not being recognized by Windows. This can happen if the drive was formatted with a file system that Windows does not support, or if the drive has become corrupted.

Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue:

Check the BIOS settings to make sure the hard drive is being detected and is set as the primary boot device.

Boot into the BIOS and try to re-detect the hard drive. This can sometimes help if the drive was not properly detected during the initial boot.

If the drive is still not being recognized by Windows, try using a Windows installation media to access the repair options and attempt to repair the drive.

If the above steps do not work, you may need to try using a third-party disk utility to check the health of the drive and repair any errors.

If the drive is still not being recognized, it is possible that it has failed and needs to be replaced. It is recommended to backup any important data from the drive before replacing it.
