KePri 0 Posted April 22, 2012 I have tried to connect the DVR to my new home recently but It was giving me error No HDD to write. Previously It was working fine for almost 2 year in my old home. I have removed the HDD from DVR and place it as secondary slave in my home desktop. I can see the same in BIOS setup but can't see drive letter (D or E) in my computer. Is the HDD faulty? or may be anything else. Pls advice. Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
groovyman 0 Posted April 22, 2012 I've had hard drives fail within a few weeks to a few years. Some can be detected in the bios of a PC, some not. Some can be detected by Windows (or other OS), some not. All depends on what the error is. Also, the hard drive is most likely formatted with a file system Windows can't understand, so a drive letter will not appear even if the drive is not faulty. It may show in Windows Device Manager though, but don't format it! I'd say the drive has an error. The best way to tell if it's the drive or DVR is to install a replacement drive in the DVR.
