Many people still love Windows XP and just cannot get used to the newer operating systems from Microsoft. The \u201cno hard disk drive\u201d error usually occurs when your laptop or desktop computer is too modern for Windows XP. This older operating system does not come equipped with fancy drivers to run newer type hardware as this hardware was probably not even invented at the time of the Windows XP release.<\/p>\n<p>The most common driver that causes this problem and brings up the \u201cno hard disc error\u201d is the lack of drivers for your hard drive. In the old days, all hard drives were connected by an IDE cable, however newer hard disks have SATA connections. See the screenshot below showing the error. Sometimes you might even see the error when you are trying to select your partition that you want to format. Either way you will see no hard drive.<\/p>\n<h3><b><a href=\"http:\/\/tips4pc.com\/computer-problems\/no-hard-disk-error-when-installing-windows-xp-after-vista-or-seven.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Read more<\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n<p>This excerpt is shared with permission from tips4pc.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tips4pc-pspitstop-banner.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"tips4pc\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-18914\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you are installing Windows XP after your machine has already had Windows Vista or Windows Seven, you will most likely get the \u201cNo hard disk error\u201d.
