The BIOS does not see the HDD in the Boot Menu, what should I do?

Question

Hard disks

A similar question was already asked more than 2 years ago, did not bother the same branch.

A new laptop was bought, I wanted to install a Windows 10 image, but got stuck at the stage of choosing a data store. The HDD in the BIOS on the first tab with information is displayed, but it is not in the Boot Menu for booting. When the PC starts up, it opens the Boot Menu, where there should be a list of hard drives, but the list is empty.

If the problem is in the SATA drivers, then there is a problem with determining the motherboard on the laptop.

Notebook model: Acer Aspire A317-53G

Answer 1

When the PC starts up, it opens the Boot Menu, where there should be a list of hard drives, but the list is empty.

UEFI works a little differently. It does not display devices, but found bootloaders (the device must have a hidden EFI partition with an OS bootloader). An empty disk, of course, will not be displayed.

Answer 2

In the comment to my own question there were practical tips, if someone else encounters a similar problem, read it, maybe it will help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRQGNm92kTY Most of the solutions to a similar problem were indicated in this video, but you still had to check it yourself.
Conclusion: if you have an Acer laptop, you are not the first to encounter this problem, if you cannot solve it yourself, there is always a service. Good luck!
PS I will close the branch only when I finally solve the problem, at the same time I will report to everyone interested.

Answer 3

Faced the same.
Fresh laptop with Intel processor 11 series.
1. When loading, I didn’t see a flash drive with Windows NTFS - I reformatted it to Fat32, I saw it
2. I didn’t see an SSD M.2 PCI-e during installation - I showed it to the Intel chipset driver.
I see no reason to deploy Windows from the image - it gets up outright with a BULLET.
