  1. Windows 11 Dell Laptop gives weird Hard Disk error


    I know this may not be the ideal place to ask this but I still didn't find an answer from Dell forums. I have a Dell Inspiron 15 3511 laptop with Windows 11 Home.It randomly gives blue screen while using and when I try to turn it back on it always gives the error "Hard Disk not installed". I tried several things such as turning off RAID, and reinstalled Windows using USB. But nothing seems to work.Sometimes the PC boots fine and lasts for few minutes until Blue screen once again pops and says "Hard disk not installed"

  2. No drive found on my internal hard disk on Dell Latitude E5430.

    Hello,My laptop (Dell Latitude E5430) was working perfectly till yesterday. But yesterday night, it restarted on its own and ever since, it's stuck at this screen:

    Also, inside the BIOS, no UEFI bootable hard disk drive is being listed.

    The UEFI flash disk option shown above is that of my bootable pen drive with Windows 10 installation copy.I googled this issue a bit and the results were as follows:
    1. one thread suggested that I should run Dell's internal diagnostics to see if there anything wrong with hard disk. I did that but every component, including the hard disk one, passed these internal test.

    2. a second thread suggested that I should try to remove and reseat the hard disk. I did that following Dell's user manual.
    3. another thread suggested that I should reinstall my windows 10 afresh. But when I try to do so, the windows installation wizard doesn't list any drive in the hard disk. It's as if it doesn't detect hard disk at all.

    In a nutshell, while the hard disk is being detected, but none of its drives is. However, the hard disk consisted of 3 drives:
    1. C: with the windows' and applications' installations,
    2. D: with all of my data,
    3. E: which was recovery drive.
    Any troubleshooting suggestions?I'm sorry I am not able to help you guys with any logs and stuff because I don't know how to get them when I can't get my Windows to boot. I'm not even sure if this is the correct section where I should be posting this thread.. I'm just so confused right now. *cry

    A few weeks ago, I had upgraded (not fresh installation) from windows 10 version 1607 to 20H2. The version 1607 installation was a clean one (from scratch, after formatting the hard disk and creating new partitions).

    Weird Hard Drive Not Installed Error problem on my dell laptop

    I know this isnt a place asking help for dell products but this is so weird and dell forums and subreddits wont give me answer. For some reason whenever i restart my laptop using the built in windows restart button it boots me into a screen that gives me a error code that says that my Hard Drive is not installed, It cant be my SSD that is dying because i just got this for christmas and its brand new, and next restart everything is back to normal. What? This just keeps happening, Also when using the power button to shut it down and turn it on again this error NEVER happens. This is my dads laptop that he just gave it to me and i dont want him to get mad at me for breaking it. If anyone can help me here it would highly be appreciated, Thanks!

    Here are things that ive tried to fix this issue:

    Putting BIOS settings back to BIOS defaults

    Installing latest driver and BIOS update using dells support assist

    Installing latest driver firmware of my SSD using WD's Dashboard
