“Hard Drive Not Showing up in BIOS” in Windows 10, 8, 7
Geeks - If you are experiencing this issue, there are a few potential causes and solutions to try. Here are a few things to try:
First, make sure that the hard drive is properly connected to the computer. Check the cables and make sure they are securely connected to both the hard drive and the computer.
If the hard drive is properly connected and still not showing up in the BIOS, it is possible that the hard drive has failed or is not working properly. Try replacing the hard drive with a new one and see if that fixes the issue.
Another potential cause of this issue is a problem with the BIOS settings. Try entering the BIOS settings and check to make sure that the hard drive is detected and set as the primary boot device. If it is not, change the settings to make the hard drive the primary boot device.
If none of these solutions work, it is possible that there is a problem with the motherboard or the computer itself. In this case, you may need to take the computer to a professional for repair.
Remember to back up any important data from your hard drive before attempting any of these solutions, as there is always a risk of data loss when dealing with hardware issues.
