Q: What if my diagnostic test shows the HDD as 'Not Installed"?
A: If the diagnostic test wont detect the HDD, it bay be either loose or bad. I would 'Reseat' the HDD as seen here in this updated video: • How To Fix Dell No Har... . Try the scan again. If it still says that its not installed, then its most likely bad and needs to be replaced. You can see replacement examples here in the Computer Component list: www.amazon.com/shop/pcmonkey
You would also then need to install an operating system onto the new one.

Q: I cant run the diagnostic scan. It wont complete or I cant access it.
A: If you cannot run the scan, we don't know for sure if the HDD is healthy or not. We will have to continue troubleshooting assuming it is for now. If its healthy, and if the issue is operating system related, I would then reinstall it.

Sir I did the same process but the prblm cannot be resolved so pls help me
@@pillemmadhusree1256 1. What was the result of the diagnostic scan?
2. Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?
I spilled a small amount of water on my keyboard , then the mouse was uncontrollable . I rebooted and got the no hard drive message.
@@truckericksdashcam169 1. After a liquid spill, you want to first make sure the computer is 100% dry. You would turn your computer off immediately by pressing and holding the power button until the computer turns off. Then you would disassemble the computer as much as your comfortable with, at least trying to remove the bottom case. Then you would turn it on its side and let dry for a couple days. You may also have to clean it thoroughly at any liquid deposit points with a toothbrush and something like 70% isopropyl alcohol mixture.
2. Assuming you have a Dell, have you tried the diagnostic test as seen here?
@@PC_Monkey I took the cover off and blew all the moisture out with compressed air and put it out in the sun for 2 hours . I followed the instructions in the video . No luck .

You truly a life savior. I owned you so much. I changed my settings and it finally went to Windows repair. I ran the test and my hard drives shows green. So yeah windows 10 was the problem. Unfortunately I had to reset my laptop but I got to keep my personal files (which I'm quite happy about). You truly helped me. Im from a poor family and and having my second-hand laptop break down would cost me more than I truly could afford. :( now everything works fine.

I've been working on PCs for decades, and yet all these newfangled BIOS options are giving me fits. They seem to be more problem than solution. Thanks for the walk through of the boot settings! I missed a step and now I got my newly rebuilt E7470 booting into a fresh Win10 install.
Thank you so much! Saved my father from my mother after he basically stared at the recovery, low boot battery, restore files failure, and I snuck in while he slept and you rescued me from the inaccessible boot drive, i was probably going to be blamed for deleting some other drive not present in the bios boot sequence...🥳

Did it boot up
Thank you very much for making this video. I had a problem with my old Dell desktop that was telling me that my battery was low. I change the battery on the motherboard and got errors when I tried to reboot. I found out later that by removing the battery or replacing the battery that the bios gets messed up. I went through a similar process that you described In your video to set my drive back to ‘Legacy’ from ‘RAID’ . I hope these comment will help someone else with the same problem.
I want to say thank you soooo much, your video saved my life, so my Dell laptop got locked, and asked me for BitLocker key which I never used or installed, I couldnt not access any files or boot the system, many videos suggested to format the laptop and lose all my work, then someone suggested to go to Bios and restore factory boot settings, I did that, then restarting took me to ( Hard Drive Not Found), back to square one, I found your video and your first solution was check the date and correct it, I did that,,, and the laptop started, and first thing I did is open youtube and write a thank you letter

This was very helpful and simple to follow for a non-tech lady, such as myself. Unfortunately for me, it wasn't the simpler fix, but I'm greatful for the opportunity to try and fix it myself. :)
You were not able to identify the issue? What was the result of the diagnostic scan?
@@PC_Monkey oh, no. I was able to see that my hard drive has gone bad. My battery needs to be replaced too. I am going to have to take it in to get both replaced, unfortunately.

For those who experienced their hard drive not found even after running the diagnostic test. The solution tht worked for me is change the boot sequence to legacy (follow the video) , after reboot if it shows the same error, change the boot sequence bck to UEFI (save & exit). This worked for me, hope it helps! If it helps, like the comment so others could see.
Glad your all set :) Always here if needed !!
It helped me to boot in another way. I tried that and it gave me list of 3 options F1 and F2 and F5
F1 to retry boot
F2 to reboot into setup
F5 to run on board diagnostics
Clicking F1 will boot normally to Windows but I want my computer to boot directly without me having to press F1
😢I changed the volume of my drives now I encountered the same error I did all the work you said in the video but still the hard drive did not find me, I tested it from inside the test and the disk was intact but still I have problems, the options in the menu are not clear clear but not where the problem is😢

@@PC_Monkey Hey! Thanks for responding. Unfortunately, now I have a different issue: Although the UEFI recognizes the drive, any OS installation USB that I try to use, whether that be Linux or Windows 11, doesn’t recognize the drive (this currently broken laptop IS Windows 11 compatible, I know this because I had an activated copy of Windows 11 on it for quite some time before it broke). On the Windows 11 installation USB, it says something like “Windows was unable to detect any hard drives. To install a driver so that Windows can be installed to it, select the ‘Load Driver’ option”. And in the Linux installation USB (the distro I’m trying to install is Linux Mint 21.2 with the MATE desktop environment), the drive (which should be labeled “sda”), does not appear. Instead, the install USB itself shows up, and THAT is labeled “sda” instead. No other drives are detected by the Linux installation USB. Is there a tutorial you could link me to, or a driver that needs to be installed during setup so that the OS can recognize the drive? For context, the machine I’m having trouble with is a Dell Inspiron 15 5570, with an Intel Core i3-8130U CPU that has Intel UHD 620 Integrated Graphics (this laptop does NOT have a Dedicated Graphics Card unfortunately), 4GB of DDR4 RAM, a CD/DVD compatible Optical drive, and a 128GB SATA SSD. Because my CPU is an 8th Generation one, all of the Intel Rapid Restore Technology and VMD drivers I’ve found through other people’s tutorials don’t work when trying to install Windows 11 and Linux Mint, since those drivers are only compatible with 11th generation through 13th generation Intel processors. Those drivers (as far as I can tell) are for if the SATA control mode is set to RAID in the UEFI, which I do not want to enable. I would like to keep my drive on AHCI mode. Are there drivers that are compatible with my CPU (Intel Core i3-8130U) and the AHCI storage drive mode that I can install during the setup process so that Windows 11 and/or Linux Mint can recognize my drive? I would also like to mention that I’ve tried these troubleshooting steps:
1) Swapping out my 128GB SATA SSD with a 1TB SATA HDD that I have (which still works), and trying to install Windows 11 on there. The result: the Windows 11 install USB still didn’t detect the 1TB SATA HDD.
2) Putting the aforementioned 1TB SATA HDD into my other laptop (which DOES work), installing Windows 11 onto that drive via the Windows 11 install USB, and then transferring the 1TB SATA HDD (that now has Windows 11 on it) BACK into the original laptop. The result: When I booted into the drive, Windows 11 gave me a Blue Screen error with the code “INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE”.
3) With the 128GB SATA SSD transferred back into the still-broken laptop, I attempted to clear the PTT’s info several times and reset the Secure Boot keys multiple times via the UEFI, and then tried to install Windows 11 to the 128GB SATA SSD. The result: Windows 11 STILL didn’t recognize the drive.
I’ve completed a full diagnostic test on the laptop via the Dell Diagnostics tool, and there are no errors to be found. Again, I ask, is there a tutorial or website that can help me install Windows 11 on my 128 SATA SSD that’s currently in my still-broken laptop? I’d greatly appreciate some help. My apologies for this humongous comment.

Did not work for me. The results from my diagnosis said no hard drive found. I opened my computer and actually took out the hard drive and reinstalled it. I did unplug and reseated the hard drive. I ran the diagnostic program again with same results, no hard drive found. Thanks for the video. You explained everything carefully so that the majority of people watching can understand.
Check out the FAQ's on my videos next time! Could help you get an answer faster :)
That means the hard drive is either loose or bad. I would first try 'reseating' the Hard Drive. That is where you unplug it and then plug it back in, making sure its properly plugged in and secure. Try the scan again. If it still says that its not installed, then its most likely bad and needs to be replaced. You can see how to do that here; th-cam.com/video/tNp5Kbo9uHg/w-d-xo.html. You would also then need to install an operating system onto the new one as shown here; th-cam.com/video/ULrJVk4JJ20/w-d-xo.html. You can create your own install media for free as seen here; th-cam.com/video/g_UhiHScaSI/w-d-xo.html.

Thank you for such an informative, easy-to-understand video. I followed all of the steps you suggested and no help. During the Diagnostic, I got no hard drive installed message. Reseated and no change. This is the third hard drive on this machine - same issue after some months of operation each time. The first time, Dell replaced the hard drive under warranty. Same issue within weeks of getting the computer back - though now out of warranty. Took to repair center and had hard drive replaced with solid state. Now - same issue. Any other suggestions? I have noticed loud fan at times on this machine. Other than that, nothing.
If the test told you that the hard drive cannot be detected then its either loose or bad. If this is such a recurring issue, your Motherboard may be damaging the computer. I would swap that out. And your using the computer for normal use? Nothing to heavy or crazy?
It rally worked. If we go by dell on screen message we would have lost money for buying new hard disk. Thank you so much.

Thanks for this video. It helped me to troubleshoot my Dell Inspiron. However my drive came out defective at diagnostic test. I have an empty new HDD, but I don’t know how to image Win 10 on it. Any suggestions? I also have another Dell XPS with Win 10 if that helps in the process, thanks for helping.
You can just install a new copy of Win10 onto the new one as seen here; th-cam.com/video/ULrJVk4JJ20/w-d-xo.html

It says that my laptop passed all the tests but is also saying my Hard Drive is NA, I tried the BIOS settings and those didn't work either
My hard drives also like that... So, have it solved?
I'm facing the same issue.
Yes. My harddrive still says 'NA' during the diagnostic... and after the BIOS attempts. Help me please! Thx!
I have the same issue

my Dell studio only has one system-BIOS. No diagnostic to scan the drive and can only load default. I have tried tremove and physically check for signs of damage, none found. Reinstall HD, still no boot. I will go your tutorial to ensure I try steps suggested. Thanks again for clear instruction video for beginner like me.
