![5 Solutions to Fix Dell Hard Drive Not Installed Problem in Windows 11/10 [Solved!]](/img/n.gif)
can you fix the beeping sound like that goes “dododododo dodododod” *pause* “doo.” “doo. doo. doo. doo.” and it like repeats and its SUPER LOUD 😭😭
When Dell hardware is malfunctioning it sometimes does a beep code at startup. It usually has a pattern like: 3-3-3
Is there a pattern to it?

Hello. I have a problem. My usb mouse was broken and i had error “power surge on usb port damage”. After couple of this errors my Dell lagged and blue death screen appeared. I reload my laptop because of instant 0% - and then after restart black screen appeared with “no bootable device” error.
With diagnostics on F5 i have problem “hard drive not installed”. Changing boot settings from Legacy to UEFI didn’t help.
Is my hard drive dead, or it can be revived? Will be all my data gone? Or it can particularly saved? From D drive at least
If your Hard Drive failed the diagnostic then unfortunately you will need to replace it. Here is a video on how to replace your hard drive and install an operating system:
Windows 10:
ua-cam.com/video/TElCJDbKdKk/v-deo.html
Windows 11:
ua-cam.com/video/mNN9ssGCxig/v-deo.html
If that hard drive is dead then sometimes you can try to hook it up to an external hard drive port and retrieve your data. This will only work if the hard drive is not to dead. Let me know how it goes:)
hi for boot sequence i dont seem to have the windows boot manager i only have something named “onboard nic (IPV4) and (IPV6). the last one is UEFI HTTPs Boot do you know if something is wrong with that?
my diagnostic does not pass it says hard drive not installed
@@cloudy9107 First I would try what we call reseating the hard drive which means unplugging it and then plugging it back in. Then rerun the diagnostic. If that does not work then it's most likely that you need a new hard drive. Sometimes when a hard drive really dies the motherboard doesn't read it as being installed.

I got the same thing idk what to do
Un Bios/ Storage all integrated Storage devices are disable. Should I activate the AHCI/NVme section?
You can try it If there is no change after restarting the computer then set it back to whatever the settings were originally.
Did it work?
Mine boot on sata but it always go back to raid on what can I do to avoid that
Are you saving the changes before exit? Also is the computer having problems charging? Because power loss can cause settings in BIOs to reset
Hi, i tried out the BIOS but still not working on my Dell latitude 3420 Windows 10 updated to windows 11. And there's some noise going on inside so im guessing the hard drive is not sitted properly
Do you have a video that shows how to resit the hard drive please
@@hamikoko747 Also a noisy hard drive can be a sign of a failing hard drive. Did your hard drive pass the diagnostic like you see in the video? Here is a video on how to install a hard drive...You should be able to learn how to reseat it from this:
ua-cam.com/video/TElCJDbKdKk/v-deo.html
At the boot configuration it only has the UEFI RST one and none of the others? What do i do
In that case, you can skip to the next step in the video. What happens when you run the diagnostic? Does everything pass?
I dont have hard drive in my computer. But i have ssd. Why this error is showing then?
Sometimes the error message will say hard drive even though it's an SSD. What happens when you run the diagnostic? Does everything pass?
i have a dell inspiron 3520 laptop. the HDD is not showing in bios. finally now lap top is not power on even if power light is lit
I'm really sorry to hear that. Here is a video that might help:

It didn’t work im in the BIOS Setup now and in boot configuration there isn’t there boxes with ticks next to them please help 🙏😭😭

@@EggheadFixers i fixed it now had to boot it back to windows 10 and then reinstall windows 11
@@MeIloedits Glad to hear it worked out!!
I hit it with the back of a screwdriver because it was broken now it's more broken great

You must have forgotten it wasn't your sword😆

My boot sequence is showing empty even after Installing new ram stick I also ram diagnostics
Did everything pass when you ran the diagnostic?
what if the boot sequence is onboard nic (ipv4), onboard nic (ipv6) and uefi? what do i do?
It depends, what happens when you run the diagnostic? Does your hard drive pass?
@@EggheadFixershelppp pls same prob
@@lenskennycharles8953 In that case, skip to the next step in the video. What happens when you run the diagnostic?
It stops and says hard drive not installed with a qr code to a microsoft link@@EggheadFixers
I run it on everything sound, screen, battery etc... Apparently there was no problem with them but when it was time for the hard drive it displayed the same message Hard Drive not installed@@EggheadFixers
I UPDATE BIOS ALSO BUT PROBLEM HE DOESNOT SHOW HARD DRIVE IN BIOS BOTH OF HARD DRIVE ARE FINE N NEW I TRY ON ALL SLOTS
If there is no operating system installed on the drives then it doesn't always show up in BIOS. Can you see either one when you are trying to install Windows?
Can you please tell me why this kind of error happens?
It can be a few different reasons. The most common reasons are a problem with your operating system or a bad hard drive. What happens when you run the diagnostic? Does your hard drive pass?
Hi, My boot sequence is showing empty. Kindly please let me know what to do ?
Sorry to heat that. What happens when you run the diagnostic? Does the hard drive pass?
@@EggheadFixers same here its empty. When i run diagnostics it says hard drive not installed.
Another question. After running diagnostic you say that Windows has to be installed again. Why is that?
@@GSTamer you would reinstall Windows if your hard drive passed but seeing that your hard drive is being read as uninstalled.

can the cause be incorrect/missing drivers? How do I fix this pls?
It can be a problem with a driver but it is less likely. What happens when you run the diagnostic? Did all your hardware pass?

Quantos bipes? As luzes de LED também piscam?
@@EggheadFixers deixei o boot aberto e aquelas flechinhas também não aparece
I get a different pop up at the 40 second mark of the video
You probably have a different version of BIOS. So it will look different but the options you need to change should be the same. If not then you can skip to the next step in the video and run the diangostic
For me on boot sequence the names are different
Also it says hardrive not installed and makes abnormal noises

What if I’ve replaced my hard drive with another one but still getting same message ?
@@arturdauletbayev9035 After you installed the drive did you install Windows? If yes were there any problems while installing Windows?
@@EggheadFixers I mean I’ve used the hard drive from other laptop that had windows preinstalled. But my laptop still tells me that it can’t see the hard drive .
Also I took my old hard drive and put it into another laptop - and it’s working . What do you think the problem could be with my laptop then ?
@@arturdauletbayev9035 How Windows is installed can vary from computer to computer so the hard drive on the other computer may not have a compatible install of Windows on it. It could also be a problem with the hard drive port itself which would cause it to not even know the hard drive is installed. One way you can tell if it is the port is by installing the working hard drive and then running the built in diagnostic. If it reads the hard drive as being there then it's most likely an incompatible install of Windows. If the diagnostic does not read the hard drive as being installed then it is most likely an issue with the port.
Please help me
What happened when you ran the diagnostic? Did everything pass?
Is it possible to make one for windows 10?
