Title: After Installetion HDDs die
Post by: Bardock on May 21, 2017, 10:34:06 pm
Hello !
I have a problem, after installation ( version 17.1.6) my Hard Disk dies, tried with many HDDs (SATA , from 80 GB to 250 GB). The problem is that after install the pc stays in boot logo ( motherboards logo) and freezes there. I put the HDDs on defferent machine and the disks are not recognazed by BIOS.
What steps should i follow ?
Thank you.

Can you start the installation process again and check if you can select the HDDs (so they get recognized by the installer)?

I have done that , with the last version, it shows the HDD and model but when i select the drive ( ada0 ) and the result is No know drive...im confused by this process. Do you want photos or some thing else , i could provide.
Thank you again.

This must not happen, crazy.

Ok, so the HDD will also not recognized by the OPN installer, then it seems to be broken. You wrote that you tried multiple disks? So the other disks are also broken now?

Yeah, i tried multible disks, all have the same problem, when i plug them in any pc, the pc freezes in BIOS boot image. Now i formated and reformated them with GParted ( the only programm that works with them) from linux,only linux could read them. Today i will try to install OPNSense. I am pc tech and its my first time that a software made me so much damage.
Thank you.
