Our normally dependable Dell Optiplex GX150 will not turn on properly. It now gives these messages when I turn it on:
Primary hard disk drive 0 not found
Primary hard disk drive 1 not found
Secondary hard disk drive 0 not found
Secondary hard disk drive 1 not found

This is followed by two beeps and a message:
Strike the F1 key to continue, F2 to run the set up utility.

I have tried changing the hard drives with some other ones I know to be OK, and the computer still will not detect any hard drives.

Do you know if it shows up in BIOS?

Have you tried changing the data cable , perhaps it's damaged?

Member Avatar for pieater

The bios doesn't recognize it.
I have tried changing the data cable, but I had no luck.
Thanks for replying to my question though!

Did you try this drive in another PC?

Sorry I haven't written sooner. I have not tried the hard drive in another computer yet, but I will try it and see how it goes.
