thomassafca Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Hello all, I installed iATKOS S3 v2 today at my HP G62. Because it didn't worked the way it was supposed to, I decided to format the used partition with the iATKOS setup. I formatted it as FAT format. But now my pc doesn't boot anymore.. I can't even enter the BIOS.. It only boots up without my HDD, so that is the problem for sure. I tried the next thing: - Remove HDD - Run Windows 7 DVD - Quickly connect my HDD But then it doesn't recognize my HDD.. Any help would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FacepunchLinux Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Dude, you ran Windows 7 without a HDD? And then plugged it back in? SATA is NOT hot-swappable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrlzGmz Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 You could try connecting your HDD to another working pc as a slave drive and try formatting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking about that too, but I'll need to find another pc/laptop with the same connection.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
