    Has anybody come across this error?

    Locked

    by var1016 ·

    This concerns an Acer 5750 laptop, running Windows 8 (64 bit).
    The hard disk is partitioned, but I cannot access Drive D; on attempting to open it I am told that the disk must be formatted, but it will not format. On investigating I found this message:
    “Base System Device PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_16BE&SUBSYS_05041025&REV_10\4&2B4E00C3&0&02E0 The drivers for this device are not installed.”

    Can anyone advise? Thanks in advance
    Paul

      Sounds like it could be an Acer Recovery Partition…

      stays hidden until you press the appropriate key at boot to enter recovery.
      Just my first quick thought anyhow.
      Might repost in Q&A..
      Try re-posting in the Q&A

      not specific problems in search of a solution. The ‘Water Cooler’ is

      There are TR members who specifically seek out problems in need of a

      solution. Although there is some overlap between the forums, you’ll

      find more of those members in ‘Q&A’ than in ‘Discussions’ or ‘Water
