2100: Detection error on HDD0 (Main HDD)

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga, with a 256GB SSD and an i5 processor.
I received it on April 29. After two weeks of normal use, it crashed and gave this error:
“2100: Detection error on HDD0 (Main HDD)”
I could not get it to boot. I took it to a computer repair shop and they (Lenovo warrantee) replaced the SSD. It worked for about a week, then crashed again, same error. My tech guy said that it might be a bad board, frying hard drives; but Lenovo insisted on replacing the hard drive again. Ten days later, same crash. I unplugged it and put it on a shelf for the weekend, intending to take it back to the shop. Monday morning I plugged it in and it started up normally.
It has been working normally for three days, but I am worried about getting the same error and crash. Can you tell me what might be happening, and if there is anything I can do to prevent a recurrence?
This seems to be a common problem across many machine models, but I haven't found any solutions to it.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks!
Funny, my post was dated 7/15/2014. That article is dated 7/17/2014. Someone might be listening

T450s: 2100: Detection error on HDD0 (Main HDD)

Hi,I got T450s with 500GB HDD which I replaced with 500GB SSD Crucial MX200.After installing Windows 8.1 Pro, turning on bitlocker and restarting machine, I saw black screen with white text: 2100: Detection error on HDD0 (Main HDD) usually if I power off laptop and turn it on again, problem gets solved and I can start Windows, but then after restarting computer again the error is usually there again... I've noticed that if I turn off the bitlocker, the problem doesn't appear (at least I wasn't able to encounter it without bitlocker). I saw threads about similar problems with this and other thinkpad models as well as crucial and samsung SSDs, but none was actually reporting that it may be connected with bitlocker functionality... (I can't be 100% sure it is, but so far it looks like it). any idea how I can fix it so that it works also when bitlocker is enabled? Thanks!

I have exactly the same problem too with a T550 and a 1TB Crucial MX200. Did you ever find a solution? I'm tempted to return the MX200 and try a Samsung 850 EVO instead.

W520: PNY XLR8 240GB SSD with error "2100: Detection Error on HDD0 (Main HDD)"

When I try to boot my W520, I get a BIOS boot up error : "2100: Detection Error on HDD0 (Main HDD)". I am using PNY XLR8 240GB SSD.
It worked fine for a month.
I also have PGP installed and whole disc encrypted.
I installed an update of Intel Management Engine Firmware and Intel Chipset, both are the latest from lenovo site because I was experiencing expreme slowness from my harddrive. Programs would freeze. Webpages would take forever to load..
The next time I rebooted, I got the error. If I leave the SSD out for a bit, and put the SSD back in, the disk will work for some time... but on next reboot, it is again detection error..
TRIM is enabled on my system. I am not sure how the SSD died so quickly.
I am back to using my HDD but I am not happy. I want a solution... is this a intel chipset issue? Intel IMEI issue? Is the PNY SSD just a bad model?
I've googled plenty and dont really see a solution. Sometimes there is a firmware update.. PNY has no firmware updates for my drive.. I don't see anybody else using PNY on their W520, but plenty of people are experiencing Error 2100 with SSD on their W520.. somethings fishy..
help please! thanks in advance !

No go, the drive is in there pretty firmly, a tech support to PNY said they are going to replace my drive.
They came to the same conclusion I did - which is that the drive is toast..
Drive slow downs and eventually unable to detect points to this.. I was hoping for some firmware update. I am really surprised an SSD died because I thought the whole point of them - no spinning parts - would make them last longer.. but there is some sort of logic board and maybe the flash drive itself went kaput.. who knows.
They do have 3 year warranty on my mode and i'm happy to take it. Luckily my old HDD was still around and works.. so thats what i'll be using for the next few weeks while I ship this to them and have them send me a new one.
I asked about Advanced replacement, which is when they send me a new one before they recieve my current ssd. They said the Advanced replacemenet costs $30, and they would need credit card info to place a charge of the original amount for the drive incase I didnt send in the drive too. So it would cost me $30 plus temporary $100-150 or so... which I opted not to do... So I wait now for a few weeks. I dont know if I'll get another PNY drive in the future. OCZ has faired pretty well for me, I've had 3 of them work on desktops/laptops flawlessly.

X240 2100: Detection error on HDD0 (Main HDD)

Hi all,
I replaced original HDD on SSD 250 GB and formatted built-in Toshiba SSD-disk 20 GB . On 250 GB SSD installed Windows 8. And after turn on notebook I get "2100: Detection error on HDD0 (Main HDD). Press Esc to continue". If press "Esc" then there is boot menu, contain 2 point: ATA HDD2 Toshiba and PCI LAN. But after ALT+CTRL+DEL begins normal loading Windows 8.
Any ideas why?

Count me in...
Crucial M550 1TB SSD...
It is fine after reboot, I got this laptop on Wednesday and just doing stability testing since this morning...
I left home ~1pm with the Lenovo hardware testing software running, and came back ~7pm... not even half day...
I just finished the same hardware testing, no 2100 yet... will leave it on overnight.
My client is waiting for this laptop... I can't wait for replacement... either refund or firmware to fix it.
Why is that so hard to get a decent PC laptop these days?! Even we are willing to pay for the money.
EDIT:
x240 config - Upgraded to
8GB RAM
Intel 7260 BT ACBGN
X240 12.5FHD IPS MT WWAN

Hi Michael222,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing an issue with HDD detection on your ThinkPad T530.
Have you checked updating system BIOS?
Is the system is having both HDD and SSD?
Check with reseating the drives.
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

2100: Detection error on HDD0 (Thinkpad Yoga)

I have a Thinkpad Yoga which today was turned on while I was away (i.e. computer was not in use). When returning back the screen said "2100: Detection error on HDD0 (Main HDD)". Windows must have crashed (probably just another one of those faulty Lenovo drivers) and then the system couldn't boot up.
Everything seems alright after a hard reboot but I'm afraid my SSD drive has gone bad.

Hi guys,
had the same error and found out, that the cable from Motherboard to HDD controller was not plugged in correctly.
After plugin correctly the error disappeared.
Hope to help you.

2100: Detection error on SSD0 (M.2) -- X1 Carbon 2014

I keep on getting this error on the X1 Carbon, attaching picture.
If it stays on for a long time, 8 hours and more it will show, consistently.
Anyone else had this problem ? found a fix ?
Its brand new and it started showing since day 1

lenovo support 06/22/2014 filed a support request and this is what I was told:
- Replacement : Not possible after 30 days
- Loaner : Not possible at Lenovo
- Technician on site : No Unless you purchased an onsite warranty
- Business Partners : available but they will charge
- Replacing SSDD is not recommended its fragile and if the laptop is opened the warranty dies
So the only option
- Shipping back the unit for repair : available they will fix it since its under warranty
This is an expensive laptop that happen to have HW issues. I could have sent it back for repair no problem but my work obligations are keeping me from doing it

My Mac is doing strange things: delaying between users, mouse flickering and bouncing, gets stuck with rainbow wheel flickering. I ran the appel hardware test and it detected an error: 4MOT/4/40000003:HDD-1233 Does anybody know what that means? HELP!

My imac is doing strange things:
-delaying between users: when closing session it goes to blue, then takes a while to appear users signin box, and then wont recognize mouse command to enter until a couple of minutes later... then everything seems alright until....
-it gets stuck between things, the rainbow wheel appears and its just delays there forever....
-and every now and then the mouse starts flickering and bouncing wildly onscreen.
I ran the appel hardware test and it detected an error:
4MOT/4/40000003:HDD-1233
Does anybody know what that means? HELP!

WZZZ answered about where to get iStat. And do check the SMART status. If it is an overheating problem due to a fan or logic board problem, your hard drive is possibly cooking itself to death. If so it isn't a faulty hard drive even though the hard drive might fail. So assuming it's a temperature problem, even if you are able to repair things on the disk with software, that is working on symptoms, not causes. I could be wrong however.
RE: AppleCare: Your iMac came with one year of AppleCare (Apple's warranty program), but within the first year you can buy 2 more years. You have to extend by the one year anniversary of purchase of the computer. Your 10,1 is too old to still be in the first year, and since you asked what it was, I'm sure you don't have it. Bottom line meaning is that whatever this problem turns out to be, you'll have to pay for it. Unless there is something like this. It is for 2011 iMacs with certain Seagate drives. You can put in your serial number for fun, but it looks like yours is too old. Lastly, some people have had Apple help them anyway if it is just out of warranty, but many have not. Your machine is one of these. Type in 10,1 in the search box. Is there an Apple Store near you? Just b/c it's out of warranty doesn't mean you shouldn't have it looked at by Apple. But no one here can say at all what Apple will or will not do.
Hope you get it taken care of!

Detection Error 2100 - Lenovo X240 with Crucial M500 SSD

I have a new Lenovo X240 out of the box. I immediately upgraded with a Crucial M500 SSD 240mb drive. The computer is running a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit. The BIOS on the laptop is the most current. The firmware on the M500 is the most current. It seems that every several times I start or reboot the system I receive "DETECTION ERROR 2100". After powering off the machine and powering it on again the computer will boot to Winddows.
I have seen numerous posts about this issue between Crucial vs. Lenovo. I've tried every suggested fix to no avail. I have tried the configuration using an identical, brand new M500 SSD with the same results. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions,.

Detection Error 2100 - M500 SSD in Lenovo X240 laptop

Hello mrtree and welcome to the Crucial forum. I spotted your post yesterday and spent some time Googling for info from the Lenovo support forum last night. I found several things you are probably aware of. First, this Detection Error 2100 is not limited to just the X240 series laptops, there are quite a few other models affected in the same way. Second, it is not limited to only Crucial SSDs, there are people with Samsungs, Toshibas, Intels, and even conventional drives that have experienced this same problem at system boot. These two observations indicate to me that problem is probably related to BIOS/firmware/driver issues. Since you have stated that you already installed the latest BIOS(v. 2.23?) and firmware(chipset v. 9.5.22.1760?), that leaves one area: drivers. From what I can see, the latest Intel RST drivers available are version 12.8.10.1005, dated 1/26/2014. Please be aware that there are seperate downloads for 32 and 64 bit systems. There is also a Solid State Drive Firmware Update Utility listed, but I do not recommend using it since Crucial M500s are not listed in the "Read Me" notes. Which brings up the question of SSD firmware, do you have the MU03 or MU05 firmware installed on your Crucial SSDs? Also, just to double check, do you have AHCI mode enabled in your BIOS settings? You'd be surprised at how many people overlook this. I suppose that Lenovo will get around to releasing updated software addressing this issue, as they have for the other brands of SSD drives, it's just a question of when. Edit: Two more things I thought of after my initail post. First, did you order your M500 directly from Crucial? When I ordered the M500 for my Lenovo T400 Thinkpad, I went to the website and used the advisor to find the M500 part number for my machine. I called to order several days later, and when I gave the part number to the customer representative, she immediately replied "that's for a Lenovo T400, correct?". That tells me there is a part number that is specific to the T400 series, and this may also be the case with the X240 series. Ordering from an online retailer or purchasing the M500 from a store may not have given you the correct part. Second, does your machine have Intel's Management Engine firmware installed, and do you have it enabled? Try entering BIOS and disabling it, just to see if this problem persists. I've noticed that on my T400, when I boot from the DVD drive or a USB stick, I see a brief warning message from the Management Engine stating that I'm not using the normal boot device, but then my machine boots regardless. Perhaps it's causing some sort of grief for your machine.

DV7 - Error 03F0 - No Boot Device Detected - Passes both Memory and HDD Test

Hi there,
My DV7 will not boot up at all. When powered on, I see the HP loading screen briefly, then into "dos type" font saying "No Boot Device Detected - Error 03F0"
I have run both the memory test and hard drive test from the diagnostic menu and both come back ok.
A little more history on the Device/Problem;
2 months ago it was shutting itself off due to overheating - After a good cleaning, the temps cooled down enough that it was no longer shutting off.
I am currently in India, plugging directly into outlets (230v power) using an adapter. 10 days ago there was a small spark at the outlet leaving a very small spot on one of the prongs of the adapter. There was no power flicker, and it wasn't a surge, just almost like a bad connection sparking. This "spark" seemed to have killed my charger immediately. I used the battery until nearly dead, purchased a new charger, but when I returned and tried the new charger, it would not charge, nor power on. When plugged in, at this point, the power/charging light on the side was lit, but not on the front. I used a pin to open the CD drive, and the front light lit up, but it still would not power on.
I took it to a repair shop here in India, and they managed to get it so it would power on (not sure how), but that has only brought me to where I'm at right now with the Error. They said "It worked, and then we tested again and it didn't work and now it no work".
My current BIOS edition is F.46.
Essentially I'm wondering if I'm screwed - and if I'm not, then what can I do to trouble shoot/fix it?
P.S. Finding parts in India that are specific to my computer will be near impossible with the technology differences. Also, dealing with local techs is extremely difficult so I'll need to know
P.S.S. I just tried to power it on again to double check the accuracy of my post and it will not power on, nor can I get the CD drive open again....

Is the unit still in warranty?
Based on the description of the behavior, it does sound a hardware issue beyond the hard drive.
Was the AC adapter that was purchased an HP adapter? I know you said it is difficult to get the right parts in your area, but I want to confirm if it is an HP adapter or aftermarket.

Taglib Displaytag : how to detect errors at compilation

Hi all,
Displaytag works fine but I would like to know if it's possible
to detect errors before the execution : for example, if I modify the property of the column "mesure" by "mesures" it will not work because getmesures will be called but it doesn't exist. The problem is that I will see the error at the execution of the jsp but not at compilation
Is there a solution for the tag lib Displaytag to see error at compilation?
Here is the code :
<display:table name="list***" pagesize="5" requestURI="/****" class="main">
<display:caption>MES CONTRATS D'EXONERATIONS COLLECTIVES EN COURS</display:caption>
<display:column class="center" property="mesure" title="Mesure" />...Thanks for your help

thanks for your answer.
Is there an other solution to detect error in displaytag?

T450s Thinkpad - ERROR 2101: Detection error on SSD1 (M.2)

Model: T450sEquiped as:Intel i54+4GB RAM256GB SSD (M.2) Configured as boot disk running Win 7 x64500GB HDD as additional storage Issue:Seemingly at random, approx once every one to two weeks while PC is on and at the desktop but not actively being used (meaning no user is sitting in front of it performing tasks) it will error and crash. The error is a black screen with the following error: 2101: Detection error on SSD1 (M.2) Press Esc to continue. According to the user Esc does nothing and the only escape is to long press the physical power button until a power down occurs. On reboot the system comes up without issue. No user has actually seen the crash take place. MY QUESTION(S):1st. Is this most likely an issue with the T450s not being able to reliably boot from the m.2 slot or is this more likely an issue with the SSD installed in the m.2 slot?2nd. Is this something altogether different? Any (knowledgeable) advice or info appreciated.

It is hard to diagnose without seeing it, but my experience has been that the Gen4 and later CPUs (like yours) support a very low power state that is incompatible with some devices. (that would make it a problem with the card) Make sure you have the latest BIOS and power manager software installed. Look in the device manager and find the M.2 SSD. There should be a power management tab. Turn off the option to allow the system shut the device off to save energy.

Should I put the new SSD drive in main HDD bay or the Superdrive/Optical bay for a Mid-2010 Macbook Pro?

Hello All,
I'm considering getting a new SSD drive to add on to my Mid-2010 Macbook Pro (13 inches, unibody), and wondering which one of the following two options I should really adapt:
(1) Replace the original OEM hard drive in the main bay with the new SSD drive, and then remove the Superdrive (or the optical CD drive) and to be fitted into an external enclosure for using it externally in the future, and then relocate the original OEM hard drive into the Superdrive position, so both the new SSD (preferably for running the OS and system files) and the old OEM hard drive (for storing media and documents for example) could be used; and
(2) Keep the original OEM hard drive in place in the main drive, and buy a superdrive/optical drive caddy to goes with the new SSD drive, and together place the new SSD drive fitted inside the caddy into the position of the Superdrive/Optical CD drive, and configure the boot preference to be booting from the Superdrive/Optical Drive (which is now the SSD drive with OS and system files);
I've done some researches and some suggested that option (2) is better approach for at least two reason: (a) the MBP main drive come with some sort of shock proof sensor, so placing the original optical hard drive in the main is better than placing it in the super/optical drive where there is NO shock sensing feature provided, and placing SSD in the super/optical drive, one doesn't really have to worry so much about shocks; and (b) as during the process of shutting down the MBP, for optical hard drive, some power will sometimes needed to finally spin down the drive, but if such optical hard drive is place in the superdrive, the power maybe cut off right away when MBP shut down, which may cause issue to the optical hard drive in a long run as it never properly spin it down.
Then the main concern is that, if I adapt option (2) above, placing SSD in the super/optical drive bay and install and running the OS from there, will it decrease the performance (i.e. speed, latency, and etc.) as if i was to put the new SSD in the main drive?
Also, any suggestions with respect to Samsung 840 EVO vs. Samsung 850 EVO (250GB)? any well-rated HD caddy aside from OWC for moving the main HDD to optical CD bay? and perhaps an external enclosure for the Superdrive? Thanks in advance for any comment and/or suggestion.
- Jack

Could you provide some rationale(s) behind it? As far as I know, the mid 2010 Macbook Pro, the HDD is running via the SATA interface at running at 3.0 Gb/s, which is SATA II, and the Super-drive and/or the Optical drive, which is also running via SATA II interface, so I would assume the performance (i.e. primarily in speed) would be similar if not the same by placing the SSD drive in either one of the two places.
Also, wouldn't it be better by placing the SSD in the optical so the OEM HDD could be kept in the original main bay since it has the shock-sensing feature there?

Unable to install OS X Mavericks to main HDD on Mini. Help Please!

Hello, I'm having a difficult time installing the update from Mountain Lion to Mavericks. I had no trouble when I updated to Mountain Lion. I downloaded the Mavericks update but when it comes to the point that I need to select the disk where I want to install it is where I get stumped. I try to select the main hdd but it wont let me and I get a message in a liitle box above the main hdd icon saying "This disk is used for Time Machine backups". The problem is that it's not true. I have a seperate external HDD for my Time Machine backups. Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance for any help!!
Mark
Mac Mini 2.26Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
8GB Ram 1067MHz DDR3

So if I have DDR2 Ram, there is no possibility of upgrading to Mavericks?
I installed mavericks onto an external hard drive (using a backup of my early
2011 mac book pro), tried to boot it with my early 2008 macbook and
this is what the screen looks like. Hoping to install Mavericks on my early 2008 macbook too.
Any advice would be appreciated
