The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Setup didn't find any hard disk drives installed...

Asked by JatinHemant in PC Laptops, Windows XP Operating System, Computer Hard Drives

Hi friends !

I have a HP 530 Notebook PC. Currently Windows Vista Home Edition is installed on it. It was installed by default. I tried to installed Windows XP Professional so I used the Windows XP bootable CD and booted from CD. Sometime after booting, I received the following message...

*******************************************************************************************************************************
Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer. Make sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that any disk-related hardware configuration is correct. This may involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or setup program.

Setup can not continue. To quit setup, Press F3.
*******************************************************************************************************************************

But you see that Windows Vista is already running on the laptop. Then I went to run--->msinfo32.exe

In the System Information...under Components--->Storage, I found the SCSI and IDE node.

In the SCSI, driver entry (driver path) was -----------> C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\msiscsi.sys
In the IDEI, driver entry (driver path) was -----------> C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\intelide.sys

I also went in setup and under Diagnostics--->HDD Self-Test Options, and tested the HDDs. Tests were succeeded.

Following are the System Configurations:
Notebook Model: HP530 Notebook PC (GH637AA#UUG)
Processor Type: Genuine Intel (R) CPU T2050
ROM Date: 04/21/2007
ROM BIOS Version: F.01

Will you please tell me what may be the problem ? Why I am not able to install Window XP Professional Edition ? Do I need to install IDE/SCSI Controller ?  Do I need to search for drivers for controllers on www.hp.com site ?

Waiting for your replies...

Thanks,

Hemant
