FAQ's:

Q: What if I cannot locate the options for Legacy, CSM, or UEFI and I have explored all the tabs?

Q: What does it mean 'Hard Drive SMART Check FAILED'
A: If your HDD failed the test, that means your hard drive is bad and needs to be replaced.
Then you will have to install Windows onto the new one.
You can see video links to help with that here;

Q: The diagnostic scan says that my Hard Drive is not installed.
You would also then need to install an operating system onto the new drive.
You can see video links to help with that here;

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.
You can see video links to help with that here;

Q: My diagnostic test says 'Unavailable' or I cant run it. What do I do?
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. If you wish to reinstall Windows, you can see video links to help with that here;

I'm trying to move the easier hardware stuff there so that I can focus on the more in depth troubleshooting and diagnostic videos here :)

Four years has passed and your video is still useful. Thanks and congratulations.

Thank you a lot. I tought i had lost all I have. I just finished cleaning the insides of my laptop, and before doing that i unplugged the battery, for safety obviously, after i cleaned it i plugged everything back, started the laptop, but it was not booting with a "The CMOS checksum is invalid." error. Searched up on yt for a fix, found this video, enabled the legacy thing and solved. Dang you guys save computer lives and human sanity😅. Thanks dude.

I cannot thank you enough for this video. You have saved me a huge amount of stress and a lot of money. I am of a certain age and this was so easy to follow. No waffle just to the point information. Keep up the good work.

The legacy seems to have fixed my issue! Atleast long enough for me to come up with a plan B and get my data pulled off before it’s too late

[tieusanhi]

Thank dear, you are really a savior
My computer suddenly crashed during an online learning session.
It is so lucky to find your video and follow your instruction. And the computer comes back. Thanks 3000 🥰

[soledadmerino]

Thanks, but it doesn't work for me. When I have finished these steps, I get this message: "No bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key." How can I solve that?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I CHANGED LEGACY SETTING TO ENABLED AND BOOM IT STARTED WORKING.. MY LAPTOP WAS SITTING IN THE DRAWER FROM MANY MONTHS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU TONS!!

[MrAndrooouk]

Thank you I've been sitting here for 2 hours, just staring at my other half's laptop.. everywhere else says to NOT use Legacy... followed your instructions and... BOOM!!! IT FRICKEN WORKED!!! 👍❤

[darreldizon]

My PC just suddenly went like this, and I went nuts until I found your video! Thank you, such a life saver! ❤

[godfreyomulo]

This has saved me a great deal! Many thanks for the candid explanation. My computer is up and running again.

[navneilprasad]

Literally the best video on YouTube . Simple and easy steps and explains everything needed :)

[jaykiriona]

I had to mess around tons with some options to get legacy to stop from being greyed out but once I finally got that done I managed to boot from legacy and now I’m back…. Mate, you’re a lifesaver thanks 🙏🏽

[paultan]

Life saver. I ise my computer for work, switched to legacy, then it ask to confirm with a code after reboot. You instructions work like a charm. Thank you very much.

[abdulmuizzkelani]

This is the first time a YouTube video would fix my system, u are the best

[klmbaby]

You saved me bro...what else can I say. Just went to your gofundme and made a donation. Appreciate you doing what you do. Keep up the good work

[candibryant]

You are WONDERFUL! And so is your video. switching to Legacy from boot option was just what I needed. Thank you thank you thank you! P.S. HP diagnostics was saying I had a dead hard drive after a BIOS update. I had already checked the system time and reloaded default BIOS settings. Once I switched to legacy everything worked per normal.
