justyy4you · 05-08-2008, 09:13 PM

I used DBAN and the autonuke feature and when i went to reinstall the OS windows xp setup says "There is no disk in this drive" and when I hit C to partition the drive it gives me a stop error. any help would be great.

PC in question is a Compaq Presario SR2180NX originally came with Vista
NOt sure the rest of the details as its a friends PC

Hi

You need to run the HDD manufacturer's tools and initialize the drive.

Ok think i figured it out... Its a Western Digital HDD so went to their site and dug through some stuff and came up with the Data Lifeguard Tools Boot CD?!? Hopefully this is it...

Alright so that didnt work....

I got that Lifeguard Tools run and it said the drive was partitioned and formatted and to put in the OS Disc and restart. widows setup loaded and I hit enter to start the install and when it came time to select the drive to install it still says:

"Unknown Disk <There is no disk in this drive>"

So I hit C again to try and sneak by but it obviously doesnt work and gives me the stop error... reads as so:

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to you computer.

The problem seems to be cause by the following file: setupdd.sys

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

(blah blah blah blah)

Technical Information:
*** STOP: 0x00000050 (0xE5133708, 0x00000000, 0xF75979A8, 0x00000002)
*** setupdd.sys - Address F75979A8 base at F7570000, Datestamp 41107c8f

So yeah still stuck any help would be great!

OK THANKS .... haha Or NOT but i figured it out.... To get Windows setup to recognize the drive I had to go into BIOS set up and change the SATA setting to IDE and then it picked it up and let me install.... Thanks

Worked for me, I have a Compaq Presario c500. I had to disable SATA on BIOS. Thanks.
