After the computer is installed with a mechanical hard disk, it cannot be started for the following reasons:

1. Insufficient power supply: After installing a hard disk, the power consumption of the computer will increase. If the power supply is insufficient, the computer may not start normally. Try replacing a higher power supply.

2. The data cable is connected incorrectly or damaged: check whether the data cable is correctly connected to the motherboard and hard disk, and ensure that it is not broken or damaged. Try connecting using a new data cable.

3. Hardware conflict: sometimes the newly added hardware conflicts with other devices, which makes it unable to start. You can try to unplug other equipment first, leaving only the main equipment to test whether it can start normally.

4. Motherboard setting problem: Some motherboards need to manually configure the newly added hardware in the BIOS to be recognized and started. Enter the BIOS interface and check whether the options related to the new hard disk are set correctly.

5. Hard disk failure: The newly added mechanical hard disk may have its own failure or damage, and be affected by static electricity during installation. You can try to use another reliable mechanical hard disk for testing, or insert the hard disk into another computer to see if it works properly.

In a word, after the above problems are eliminated, they still cannot be solved. It is recommended to seek help from professional computer maintenance personnel. They can further examine hardware and software configurations and provide appropriate solutions.

There is a special device to read the contents of the hard disk, which can be read when the hard disk is plugged in without the operating system. You can go to the computer repair place or buy one on Taobao

Hello, friend:
You can take down the mechanical hard disk, whether it is a desktop computer or a laptop, and then attach it to another computer, connect it through the STAT interface, and then turn on the normal computer. You can see your hard disk on the computer, so that you can test the data, of course, you can enter the PE, and you can also copy the data.
I hope it can help you. I wish you happiness~~

Let me summarize your answers. The light flashes and the fan stops:
The highest priority is to consider that the self inspection has not passed. You need to re plug the hardware to ensure that there is no poor contact. This is the most likely reason I think.
Secondly, the above situation will occur due to insufficient power, which is more consistent. But generally, the power supply will set aside a margin, while the hard disk requires very little power, unless you add a lot of hardware after purchasing the machine, just to the critical point.
Finally, the master disk and slave disk of the hard disk are not set properly, or the system is not installed in the new hard disk directly. You need to look at the situation and search for the corresponding method

This should have nothing to do with the hard disk. According to your description, it should be that the motherboard has not passed the self-test. The most common problem is that the memory is not in good contact. You can unplug it and plug it in again. If it is not enough, you can unplug the memory and start the machine. It should be fine if you hear the alarm and shut down the machine and then plug in the memory to start the machine!

1. After installing the hard disk on the computer, turn on the computer. On the computer desktop, select My Computer and click the right button - "Manage" to enter the computer management interface.



2. Select "Disk Management", the system will pop up the new hard disk detected and request to initialize the hard disk, as shown in the figure, click "OK" to initialize.



3. Remember the serial number of the disk. For example, here is disk 0. Select this disk, right click it, and a menu pops up. Select New Simple Volume.



4. Click Next to create the disk partition.



5. Set the capacity of your first partition. If your partition is used to hold the game installation directory, a 400G partition is usually enough. After setting, click "Next".



6. Specify a disk number for this partition. If there is a C disk, the system will specify D disk by default in order. You can also specify manually. After setting, click Next.



7. Format partition. There are partition format settings. For large capacity, only NTFS partition format is supported. You can also customize the name (volume label) of the disk. Use quick formatting. Click "Next" to finish the first partition.



8. Repeat steps 3 to 7 above to create the next partition. Note that you need to select the undivided capacity and right-click to create a new partition. After all are created, as shown in the figure.



9. Now open my computer and you can see each disk of the newly created partition. Now you can use a large mechanical hard disk to store files.
