More than likely your hard drive just died. Bring it in to a pc fixit shop.

SOURCE: my laptop wont start up..its saying

This message it telling you that the PC cannot "Find" your drive. This usually happens if the drive has failed or the "Boot Track" has been corrupted. Well,I suggest, to try all the "Options" first, press F1...If it boots all good... if still no good... then press F2 and make sure the Hard Drive shows in the setup. If it does NOT show there, it is probably best, to then run the diagnostics, but I am fairly sure at this juncture it will tell you your hard drive is kaput, and you will need to replace it. If it does show up, then we need to fix the boot track... insert your Windows DVD and do a repair,and running the Fixboot command from recovery console.

SOURCE: internal hard disk drive not found To resolve this issue, try to reseat the drive. No bootable devices--strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility Press F5 to run onboard diagnostics.

it looks like your hard drive has crashed but before i confirm you need to try these steps first.1:remove the hard drive if its a SATA make sure the connectors on the drive and laptop are clean, if not clean it. if its an IDE check for any bent or broken pins.2: connect your hard drive to another pc or laptop using an external cable and if it is detected try and retrieve as much information from it as possible and format it with the quick format option deselected.3:if you dont have an external cable to connect it after you have physically cleaned the hard drive, mount it back in the laptop and check to see if it still gives the error. if it does run a windows installation setup from a disk and see if it recognises your hard drive. you can then format it from there and reinstall the operating system on it. 4: if non of the above methods dont work you should consider replacing your hard drive.

Get message internal hard disk drive not

This may mean that your computer is trying to boot from a non-bootable drive. Try hitting f12 when you restart the computer and select which drive would have your OS on it. You want to change the boot sequence to diskette drive as your 1st choice. The order should be Diskette Drive, Internal HDD, USB storage Device, CD/DVD drive.

Can you tell me step by step directions on how to reseat my hard drive on a dell inspiron 1545?


Turn off power, remove battery.
Flip it over and look to the bottom right. Remove the 4 screws with a small Phillips screw driver.
Pull out hard drive slot. Remove the screws attaching the slot, fix new hard drive in old hard drive's place.
Put screws back in, plug back in battery.
It really doesn't get any easier than this, kudos to Dell for making it easily serviceable.
if you are still unsure watch the youtube

Hi ajmedina89,

If your system wont boot up and has a no "bootable devices" message, is often caused by a defective harddrive. I recommend to try a different HDD before replacing your system HDD to isolate the issue.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.
