Hello,

I was using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit. I wanted to use Fedora 32 Bit. This is why I installed it on my hard drive along with Windows 7. After that, Windows 7 crashed but Fedora still worked and instead of C drive, all my other drives got formatted.

Now, the problem is that I am unable to install Windows 7 again. It is because I am not able to see hard drive partitions (ERROR is: "NO HARD DRIVE FOUND"). But, I am able to see the partitions in Fedora.

Can please anyone help me out with a solution as soon as possible?

Thank you!

Check your BIOS settings for the following parameters:

SATA configuration -> Enhanced
Configure SATA -> AHCI

At installation time, tell the installer to try to use these drivers by click on "Load driver":

You should try with your motherboard SATA drivers. If you don't have any, you can try this one, by downloading it on an USB drive:

To be able to install win7 or win8 which uses NTFS file system, remove your HDD, slave it to a machine which already have win7 or 8 installed and format the drive using NTFS file system, when finished, fix the HDD back on your machine and start your win7 or 8 installation. Hope it works.

I have no other hard drive installed. I installed it in Drive 3. I used a static hand-wrist
band and static tools.

Find the type of storage controller your PC uses by checking the documentation that came with your PC or going to the manufacturer’s website.

On a second PC, go to the manufacturer’s website and download the latest driver on a USB flash drive or other removable media.

Start Windows 7 installation again, and on the Where do you want to install Windows? page, click Load Driver.

Insert the removable media containing the driver into your PC, and click OK.

Select the driver from the list of results and then click Next. Follow the instructions on your screen to continue installing Windows 7.

Is it a SATA hard drive?
What's the file system used for Fedora?

You should at least have one partition in FAT32 (or NTFS but it will be read-only on Fedora) because Windows doesn't know anything about ext_ filesystem!

CD-ROM/DVD drive won't work

Hello,

When we put a CD-R in it shows a little disc with an hour glass on the desktop. When we click on the drive it says, "please insert disc" as if there is not one in there already. It does not matter if it is a blank disc or one with something on it. I really need to get these to work so I can back up files and save files on a disc. Could someone please help me? The top drive is DVD RW. It will not recognize or play any type of disc. The bottom drive is DVD ROM. It will play an audio CD. It played an old Family Values Tour CD .It will play a commercially recorded CD. It played or opened up a disc I had for a free 1175 hours AOL disc. It will not recognize a blank/empty CD...
