Dell D620 Booting / Hard Drive Problem
HI everyone
My Dell D620 is not detecting my hard drive, It shows an error " No bootable devices Strike F1 to retry, F2 for Setup Utility.
I removed the hard Drive from laptop, and reattached it into hard drive port/bay. after that it worked normally. but Next day when I powered on my D620, it showed the same message. Again I removed the drive and reinstalled and worked!!!
I am really confused whether it is problem of my hard drive or connectors of mother board or something else. :emotion-9:
Please Help if anybody can. I shall be grateful to you.
P.S : I dont have another laptop/External Case to test my current hard drive.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Zohaib R
Thanks for replying, On Diagnostics it shows 10000141 error.
Saying no Hard Drive found. But why it detects hard drive when I remove it and reinsert couple of times. :emotion-3: :emotion-3:

Well you will not know if it is the hard drive or the connector until you put a known good hard drive in it.

Hi Usman Abid,
Error code”0141” indicates “no drive detected”. Your system BIOS is reporting that no Hard Disk Drive is being reported. As you have already re-seated the Hard Drive several times please go by the steps suggested by “dallascowboysworldchamps”. If a known good hard drive is available, see if the good drive can be detected in the system or try the suspect drive in a working system (may be a friend’s computer).
