    Can the Windows corrupt the Bios after blue screen?

    Hi,

    If the Bios is not showing a HDD, there is a problem with the HDD, it's power plug, or the SATA cable\connection...

    Is this an actual HDD, or a "Partition" on the same HDD ?

    Hi,

    I think my HDD is not accessible to the laptop. Light on HDD is glowing. Is my HDD damaged during the process?

    Hmm.. could you post a screen shot of the populate you're taking about. That should help out others answering this question.

    *Ditto I looked around explorer and I had no idea where to really start. A screen shot would really help out here. IMO

    A screen shot or a little more info would help. I checked in the properties of my drives and don't see the populate option.

    Are you wanting to give a drive another drive letter? Here is what the op is talking about I believe

    You use this to make sure someone is using GPT or MBR partitioning.

    Pressing the populate button will dispay the partition style and other data. Why it would need to be disabled I don't understand.

    I see odd questions like this in all the Designer Media forums and wonder if someone wants to learn things to create malware. There's no other use for such knowledge, or is there?

    Very possible.. ask a seemingly legitimate question and use it for hacking purposes??
