Before performing the basic recommendations, disconnect all external devices from which the computer may try to boot. This is an external hard drive, flash drive, optical disk, etc.
Method 1: Checking the Connection of the Drive
It is likely that after the transfer, hitting the system unit, a small vibration or other situations, some of the HDD / SSD wires departed. Open the cover cover of the de-energized computer and check whether the cords are connected to the connectors. It is advisable to disable them and connect again. In total, the check must be subject to 4 wires connecting the wires: two connectors running from the drive, and two connectors to which the device is connected (motherboard and power supply).
On the motherboard there are always several ports for SATA, so it is additionally recommended to connect the wire to another connector instead of the current.
If there are free SATA-SATA cables (for example, from the old device or from the second installed HDD PC), use it, since damage to the current wire is completely invisible. The same is recommended to do with the power cable (by what leads to the computer's BP).
The owners of laptops, where the drive is most likely hidden under the cover (old laptops for HDD can often find a separate compartment and check the device connection), this method is recommended not to be performed at the beginning, since the chance that the wire has deployed, less And the laying of the hull is much more difficult. First try to perform several of the following ways.
As soon as this process is completed, restart the computer by turning off the flash drive from it to try to start the operating system.
Option 2: Full-side loading flash drive
Chkdsk does not always correct the problems of the drive, and in the absence of a flash drive with the operating system, it is quite problematic to create it without a working PC, it is necessary to download a Windows image, weighing several GB. You can start using special boot distributions of programs from which Victoria, MHDD should be highlighted, as well as the Hiren's BootCD collection, which includes two listed programs. In the last version, we will stop.
Once again, we note that it is booing versions of programs in ISO format that is needed to write to USB-Flash or to the disk, and not ordinary EXE!
- As we have already said, we will work with Hiren's Bootcd, so we write it on USB-Flash. If you also chose this software, over the link below, go to the application site and download the ISO image.
Go to the official website of Hiren's BootCD
- Since the versions of such programs for writing to the external media are in ISO-format, we suggest familiarizing yourself with the instructions for creating a loading flash drive.

- Load from the flash drive by sending a PC to a reboot and when starting the system, running the menu with the boot devices with the F2 or F8 key. Or configure the BIOS to boot from the external drive (the link to the instruction is above).
- Using the arrows and the Enter keys, get to the "Dos Programs" and select it.
- Find and go to Hard Disk Tools. Sequentially displays several notifications to which it is necessary to answer in the affirmative.
- A list of utilities will appear in which we will use the first, and you, if you wish, you can choose the mentioned Victoria or MHDD, using one of them already on the basis of your own knowledge or information on the Internet.
Any key exit the application and restart the computer. You may need to restore the operating system bootloader, which we told about in the method 6.
When no manipulations caused the result, you can only diagnose the drive breakdown. If you need to get data from it, you should either connect the disk to another computer (or make it a second disk in your PC) and use special software. The damaged hard disk should be determined by the computer, otherwise the extraction of data at home will be impossible to it!

Rarely PCs may not see the hard disk due to problems with other components, for example, disconnected capacitors on the motherboard or in the power supply. Therefore, before buying a new drive, it is recommended to take the current problem and connect it to another PC, trying to boot from it.
You can also contact the service center - perhaps just clean the oxidized hard disk board contacts, and with a serious breakdown, the wizard will be able to extract important information and transfer it to a new device.

Method 8: Replacing the battery on the motherboard
All motherboards have a battery-tablet that supports CMOS memory. When it starts discharged, the user faces different symptoms of this phenomenon: the time is reset on the computer, the BIOS settings are becoming default, the PC may not start, the cooler does not rotate, the various types of failures appear without visible causes. The battery does not sit quickly - depending on the model, it can serve both 3-4 years and much longer. Therefore, it makes sense to change it only when you encounter clear indicators of its discharge.

As we have already mentioned, the serving battery on the motherboard returns the BIOS settings to the original, because of which each time the PC is turned on or the device priority is changed from which the computer is loaded, or the SATA operation mode is reset (they are described in methods 2 and 3) . You can remove the old and install a new one by the following instructions.
