It doesn't recognize your Windows location. Try to get into the BIOS when booting up and check whether the SSD is set as the primary boot device. You can usually get into the BIOS with F2 or F12 as soon as you switch on the PC.

I linked him to a tutorial because I don't think he knows what to change in BIOS.

everything is set correctly in the bios, I think the hard disk is broken? although it is recognized in the bios. it's all very strange. Windows can't be reloaded either. then it complains that this PC is not system-compatible. well, order a new hard disk and then we'll see. i hope so

there everything is set correctly in the bios, I think the hard disk is broken? although it is recognized in the bios. is already strange everything. Windows reboot doesn't work either. then it complains that this PC is not suitable for the system. well, order a new hard disk and then we'll see. i hope so


If the SSD is recognized, it is most likely not defective. In this case, you should take a closer look at the boot sector and try the following:


Create a Windows USB stick

Start the PC from the stick and select "Repair computer" then "Command Prompt"

Enter the following commands:

bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd

Then reboot "without stick" and it should run.

If nothing still works after that, the hard disk is most likely defective or Windows has been completely damaged. But it's definitely worth a try before you buy a new hard disk.

yes I had already tried that with the second point fixboot comes element not found.


now I have seen a video : with the input : diskpart and then list volume. there should be all drives to see.
But the hard disk is not there, so it is probably damaged.

In my view, there are only 2 logical explanations, the second only for completeness.

1. your PC has clearly been abducted by aliens.

2. Hard disk is broken.

yes but really great that these ssd hard disks only last 2 years. Before that I had a normal HD hard disk which is over 10 years old and still running.

yesterday I bought another external hard disk from Toshiba and now I have 3 of them for backup purposes. better safe than sorry

But then it was a very bad one I would say, they usually last just as long or even longer. Mine is now also 6 years old and is still faultless.

All the electronic stuff doesn't last long.


My Epson printer gave up the ghost after 3 years.
