gDMSS lite - What to Do If Hard Drive can't be Recognized?

Applies to: N44PS/N48PS

We sell the system with a hard drive. But we also sell a system without one.

Please make sure yours does include a pre intalled hard drive inside first.

Go to HDD to check if there is the hard drive and its status is normal.

If there is nothing on the storage or the status is not normal, it means something is wrong.

Please try troubleshooting methods below.

1. If the hard drive is not from us, please make sure your hard drive meets all requirements in the link below.

If you can not hear any sound and surface of the hard drive is not warm, it can prove hard drive is not even powered up. Please share our result.
