Windows ddid not find any hard drives Monday, June 2, 2008 at 6:13 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Mike (8 messages posted) Hi there. I am struggling with an issue on my laptop. I was getting a bluescreen 0x0000007B message and windows (XP Pro) would never start. I tried safe mode, last good config etc to no avail. So, I got an enclosure and got all of my important data off of it before messing about anymore (I was able to read the drive just fine as an external usb drive.) I did a chkdsk and it found no errors. Hmmm. Thinking it still may be the drive I bought a new one and installed it into my laptop and started to proceed to install XP Pro onto it and windows setup did not recognize that drive either! So, now I am thinking my drive was fine and I have some sort of BIOS/motherboard issue. Any ideas/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
