FAQ’s:
Q: What if I cannot locate the options for Legacy, CSM, or UEFI and I have explored all the tabs?
A: If you can not change the settings in BIOS or if changing them did not help your situation, skip that step and proceed with the rest of the steps in this updated video: https://youtu.be/JBuJp3lrlzI. What was the result of the diagnostic test?
Q: What does it mean ‘Hard Drive SMART Check FAILED’
A: If your HDD fails the test, that means your hard drive is bad and needs to be replaced.
You can see how to access the HDD here; https://youtu.be/CxIuy2iiW8o.
Then you will have to install Windows onto the new one.

Q: The diagnostic scan says that my Hard Drive is not installed.
A: If your diagnostic test cannot see your HDD, that means its either bad or loose. I would first try ‘reseating’ the Hard Drive. You can see that done here in this updated video: https://youtu.be/lKb2pPQrkRk
After that, try the diagnostic scan again. If it still says that its not installed, then its most likely bad and needs to be replaced. You can see how to do that here; https://youtu.be/tNp5Kbo9uHg.
You would also then need to install an operating system onto the new drive.

Q: Changing settings in BIOS didn’t help and everything passed the test?
A: If changing the settings in BIOS did not resolve the issue and the diagnostic test passed all components, then its most likely an operating system error. Try to reinstall Windows.

Q: My diagnostic test says ‘Unavailable’ or I cant run it. What do I do?
A: I would first try ‘reseating’ the Hard Drive. You can see that done here in this updated video: https://youtu.be/lKb2pPQrkRk. See if that helps.
If you cant run the test, then we don’t know for sure if the HDD is bad or not. You can proceed a couple different ways. You can assume its good and that the Operating System is the cause of your error. Or you can assume its bad and replace it before installing an Operating System to the new one.

22 I have told them that all the worships on the earth, it is the devil from one end to the other. Judaism is the set of Jewish customs and religions. Islam is the set of Arab customs and religions. Christianity is the set of customs and religions of Europe. They are pagan worships. Jews, Arabs, Africans, Hindus and every people of the earth had their customs and traditions. But until now, despite everything I have preached, Africans do not know that Islam and Christianity are no better than voodoo. And also, until now, Africans think that the Jesus Christ of the Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical and Branhamist churches is greater than Simon Kimbangu and Oschoffa.

I Normally force shutdown and restart.

My Smart check passed and short DST failed. What should I do?
It doesn’t let me do the hard drive check, it says no hard drive installed
Well done 👍. Problem solved ✅
When I hard drive check it’s saying Smart Check not available and short dst not available, and enabling legacy doesn’t work either. Please HELP
It says
Smart check : (1: NOT AVAILABLE)
what if I dont have legacy support? all i have in boot options: cdrom boot, floppy boot, internal nttwork adapter boot, boot order
Thank you very much sir, I have been searching for solutions, now I got you. God bless you
Thanks so much……got a bit worried that I spoilt my husband's laptop……. thanks for the baby steps kinda of teaching
Smart check: passed
Short DST: not available
Does that mean it failed?
Sorry but I'm not getting the same screen during the quick hard drive check. What I have only displayed at first is the starting hard drive check for 2 minutes then after that a message popping, "No hard drive installed. Please check that the power and data cable are connected properly". What could this be possibly mean? Does this mean I have to open my laptop snd reconnect the loose hard drive cables?
Under boot options for me I can’t seem to find legacy anywhere, the only thing I have that I can disable and enable are usb boot, network boot and secure boot? What should I do???
