Diagnosing possible HDD issue on Acer Aspire 5552

Question

I created a Collection View using purely the storyboard interface builder. This is what the storyboard looks like:

My collection view's properties are default as well. I haven't written anything into my ViewController.swift yet.

For some reason, when I run on my phone / emulator, none of the buttons are showing.

Solution

Running diagnostics on the Hard drive and memory would be a good first step. Memory diagnostics should be available from the bios boot memory (F10 or F12 at bootup). Western Digital and Seagate both have downloadable tools that let you boot from a CD to check the drive. When you tested the XP, that indicates the optical drive is probably ok. Also - have you cleared the drive by deleting the previous partition(s)? Could be some weird problem about not enough disk space, but never gets to that point in the install to check? The linux liveCD should let you clear the drive first. Then run disk diagnostics.

What is there in simulator? Did you give delegate and datasource ?

I haven't written anything into my ViewController.swift yet. You should see tutorial first.

I really don't think that a collection view is what you want looking at your app. You have a static, fixed number of elements (calculator buttons). I'd recommend taking a look at UIStackView

probably it will show its appearance after properly set data-source and delegate and this happens also with tableView, did you ever realize ?.

@BhavinRamani Ah sorry, I got confused between UICollectionView and UITableView. Just starting to learn what I found to be a very intriguing language.
