How do I fix no hard drive detected?

Two Quick Fixes for Hard Disk Not Detected in BIOS

Shut down your PC at first.

Open your computer cases and remove all the screws with a screw driver.

Unplug the hard drive which fails to be recognized by Windows BIOS, and remove the ATA or SATA cable and its power cable.

Why is my HDD not being detected?

The BIOS will not detect a hard disk if the data cable is damaged or the connection is incorrect. Serial ATA cables, in particular, can sometimes fall out of their connection. Be sure to check your SATA cables are tightly connected to the SATA port connection.

How do I enable my hard drive in BIOS?

Restart PC and press F2 to enter BIOS; Enter Setup and check system documentation to see whether the not detected hard drive is turned Off in System Setup or not; If it's Off, turn it ON in System Setup. Reboot PC to check out and find your hard drive now.

Identifying the hard drive in the BIOS

Steps

Turn on or restart your system.

When the Dell logo appears, perform one of the following actions to enter the BIOS setup program:

With keyboard - Tap F2 until the Entering BIOS setup message appears. To enter the Boot selection menu, tap F12.

The hard drive is listed under the System Information under the General group.
