Problem not recognizing the N5110 hard drive
Hi, I have a model 5110 lipstick, Windows was 32 bits, I changed it to 64,
Then it slowed down a bit, someone told me to install it from the beginning, Windows will be fixed.
Unfortunately, the system was in the boot stages when the power went out and now everything I do does not recognize the hard drive, I do the boot steps until the drive selection step comes but it does not find a drive, and sometimes a drive was found 0 but its volume was 0 and not selected,
What do you think is the problem?

The slowdown is likely your warning the drive is failing, or has failed. Press F12 a few times at powerup, boot to the Dell diagnostics, and run an extended test on the drive (let the quick tests run, and then do the surface test on the drive, assuming it shows up).
If you see an error such as 2000-0151 or -0142, the drive needs to be replaced.
