Hi
Hoping can get some help. Have Dell Precision T5810 that have upgraded ram and graphics for my son to game on.
Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-1603 v3 (4C, 2.8GHz, 10M, 140W).
upgraded 32G ram
500GB 3.5" Serial-ATA (7,200 RPM) Hard Drive
upgraded graphics card
addition: Samsung 750 256 SSD
On Sunday my son attempted to add a new 1TB Sata in 3rd slot, in process removed the existing Hard Drive and SSD and reinstalled. the system would not boot up. So i removed the new drive and reinstalled the original drives.
Now the Windows 7 Operating System will not load as neither the HDD or SSD drives is recognized to Boot. In fact I cannot access the drives.
This is where it gets confusing. All my attempts to boot from drives have failed - because system keeps saying that no hard drives are present. However the BIOS is showing the drives, HDD 0-0-0 and HDD 0-0-1 and the onboard Dell EPSA system tests show drives with no errors displayed.
I just spent an entire day on this - research on the site suggests using CMD. When I tried to use Windows 7 OS as boot disk the commands DISK or bootrec.exe the disks are not found.
So basically I have no operating system, no way to access disks so need some assistance.
