AIO HDD Swap Trouble

[fr4nc.lord]

First I should say this is an HP Pavilion 20 all in one that I've salvaged.

When I acquired it, it said no boot disk detected. No biggie, I installed a brand new WD Hdd and put windows 10 on it. Peachy.

It worked for about a week, then one morning I woke up to a screen that no boot disk was detected, again. Windows Boot Manager couldnt see the drive anymore. Didnt see it in the BIOS either, so it failed for some reason.

Swapped another new drive in and gave it another go. Again, it worked for a week. Then once more no boot disk is detected, except this time WBM does see the drive so I get to format it and install again. It worked another week.

Today the drive has failed. The second one I've tried, at that. I had updated all of the drivers and Windows before it crashed and even played some TFC before walking away.

Any help or advice is appreciated. I feel like I have exhausted all options, literally cant think of anything else I can do

Not familiar with these aio pc's,but did you check/change the (i guess sata) cable too? Also check time/date in the bios,maybe bios battery needs a change.

It's about all i can think of.

I didnt change the actual cable, but I did update the time and date earlier in my attempts

Whats very peculiar is that it sometimes doesn't detect the drive, and other times it does. In addition to that, when it does detect the drive, sometimes it will say the total size of the drive is 0b. (Using diskpart)

Other times it will say my drive has 465 gb total with 0b available. After cleaning the disk I am able to install the OS and it does work for a while, eventually ending with the "no boot disk detected" page

I am kind of getting obsessed with figuring this one out lol

Maybe there's some back up thing going on ? Why the disk get's full ....
