Solved: changing hard drive - HP Support Community

KCK1323 · ‎07-05-2023

I have a Victus HP 15L Gaming desktop, with 512 gb nvme.2 SSD. I recently purchased a sk hynix platinum p41 SSD PCIe nvme.2 (1TB). Now after replacing my old one, with this new one, every time when I boot the computer, I receive a message, which it says: NO HARD DRIVE IS FOUND!!! Any suggestion would greatly be appreciated. Well. to be honest, I had to put back the old hard drive inside my desktop, which is working fine. but in any event, while doing all this, I also notice that the original NVME.2 coming with Victus gaming indicates that the nvme.2 is gen 5. But the new nvme.2 one TB which I have purchased as a replacement indicates that it is gen 4. So my question is? Is it possible that the reason my Victus shows no hard drive is due to this new purchased NVME.2 SSD being gen 4, and not gen 5? Because I do not intend to purchase another SSD gen 5, prior to making sure that it would work. Again I thank you for any correct, and assuring response.

Hi @KCK1323

Do not take this as anything ad hominem, but you wrote "Again I thank you for any correct, and assuring response." and expect someone to reply other than this fashion?

Do you completely understand what you said or was it in error?
