20 GB of HDD is not recognized by Tecra 8100

Hello
I just got this laptop Tecra 8100 and I am trying to upgrade its 12 GB with a 20 GB hard drive, a. I formatted the drive of 20 GB of my office using a portable USB Caddy before putting it in the laptop.
When I boot up to install XP, and before she starts copying the installation files, it will give an error message telling me that no player has been found and restart.

Any idea how do I get the new drive recognized?

Thank you

Hello

I discovered that Tecra 8100 supports only the 6 GB (9.5 mm thick), 12 GB (9.5 mm thick) and 18 GB hard drives (12.7 mm thick).
It seems that the 20 GB HARD drive is too big and so the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive and you can not install the operating system.

Unfortunately, there is nothing to see.

PS: You can try to update the BISO but I put t I think this will help.

  • HDD USB not recognized as "physical1" when creating the new virtual machine

    Hi all

    I wanted to create a new virtual machine, and I wanted to use my USB as a physical drive.

    But Workstation shows me "physical0" which is of course my drive internal.

    I tried USB pen drives. They are not recognized either.

    This somehow is no longer supported? I would have that it would be possible to use USB external HDD as the physical drive to a new virtual machine.

    you have installed VirtualBox?

    If so, you can try to use the virtuaklbox command line tool to create a descriptor of rawdisk for this disc.

    say diskpart on this drive? -It is "online"?

  • Installation of XP Prof on Tecra A9 PTS52E - SATA HDD is not recognized

    Hi all

    I have a "nine" Tecra A9 (PTS52E) with Vista Business installed. However, I need XP Prof and a CD of XP - SP2 slipstreamed. The SATA drive is not recognized XP installation, so I need a driver of "F6."

    There are a lot of howtos on this for the 945 chipset, but I couldn't solve this problem on my A9 (Mobile 965 Express Chipset). I don't want to buy a USB floppy for one-time-installation drive. So I have to build the driver (iastor.sys and more) in the XP installation disc.

    A few problems: there seems to be no easy way to do this, because intel only provides files *.inf for the ICH8R (RAID =) controller, which does not exist in the A9. So I have to change the *.inf files, correct?

    Another thing: I saw in an another post here the discussion on switching to AHCI in the BIOS in compatibility mode. I can't find a way to change this setting.

    Aargh, I need this laptop for my work on an A8 (which is also mine), I installed XP without any problem.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you

  • New HARD drive is not recognized on Tecra M1

    Hello

    I am new to this forum, so apologies if this is an old question.

    My Tecra M1 gave a quality service for the past 6 years, but recently, the Toshiba management console has put a message saying that the HARD drive will fail quickly.

    I loaded immediately turned off my main files before you remove the HARD drive. It is a Toshiba MK6022gax 60 gig IDE hard drive. I bought a new disc of gigabytes of 60 MK6022gax, but when I mounted this same I got the error message "error ide #0". Installation XP or the BIOS can see this new record.

    I then reassembled the old HARD drive, which started OK. I then mounted the new disk in a USB enclosure, initialized, partitioned and quick formatted using the XP disk management. He picked up OK. Then I copied some files to it and read them back with no problems, then the drive itself works very well. But when I plug as the main 'C' drive, I get the error message again and is not recognized by the bios or XP put in place.

    Clearly, there is some BIOS (?) or startup procedure I have to do to get this recognized record. Help!

    I have Tecra M1 long with 60 GB HARD drive. Right now, I've updated compatible HDD TOSHIBA HDD 2184 B.
    I can confirm that the HARD drive is recognized correctly and I actually have the new install of WXP Pro.

    In any case, have you tried to upgrade the BIOS to the default settings?
    As far as I know that nothing should be set before you put the new HARD drive and it must be recognized correctly.

  • WiFi not recognized on Tecra A3 card

    Hello
    I have a laptop old enough, I think that on registration to this site he said the production date was end of 2005. It is a Tecra A3 series.
    I was wondering if someone could give me some tips for the inside wireless card.

    I tried to download the drivers for the wireless card that says that the Web from Toshiba site, but installing the driver just tells me plug-in card, when it is already.
    I took out the card and its reference number is: PA3362U 1MPC.
    Its not even come in windows XP Device Manager.

    EDIT: Sorry just a few details, it was working at one point. But I had to reformat, since reinstalling windows. I read that it is possible that "the map is not enabled", but it is not recognized in Device Manager?

    So far I have not conscientious, but I recently upgraded my wireless broadband connection and I would like to be able to use the wireless card.
    Anyone could offer me some tips on how to get it operational?

    Thanks for your time in reading.
    Andy.

    Hello

    If your wireless network card is properly inserted, then it should appear in the NICs as unknown device under Device Manager (if the driver has not been installed) or must be properly recognized as Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 b/G Wlan card.

    Yes, PA3362U 1MPC part number seems to belong to the * Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 b / G * Wlan card. I have goggled a bit and found some info that could confirm it.

    So, you should definitely use an Intel Wlan driver for this card to work.

  • CD-ROM drive does not eject on Tecra 8100

    I have a Toshiba Tecra 8100 and my CD player will not eject. It only happens when it starts.
    Any ideas, everyone, how can I solve this problem?

    Even when I get it open habit run all disks?

    Hello

    You are not able to open the drive to be on the CD. Is this good?
    Generally, each player has a small hole to open the player manually. You can use a thin wire to open the player.
    But if the reader doesn t work correctly or t doesn't accept and recognize any CD so I guess the drive is dead and only replace the drive can solve it.

  • Store Art HDD is not recognized by LG TV

    Hello

    I bought this hard drive:
    External drive HARD Toshiba StorE-Art500GB, 500GB, 5400rmp, 3.5-inch, USB 2.0

    after purchase I plugged on my lg lcd tv and it worked without problem.
    I unplugged it the TV to connect to my computer and put a few multimedia, reconnected to the tv, it worked again, but after awhile the tv refuses to connect to the hard drive.

    the hard drive is allowed when it is connected to a computer or other devices with port usb and other usb storage devices connect ok on tv.

    do you have any suggestions? I formatted the hard disk several times, but without success. is it possible that I can restore the factory settings on this hard drive, or is there anything else I can do?

    Post edited by: napalmique

    also, I think that there is a kind of stand-by function, because from time to time, I hear she's going "beep" and when I try to open a file from it, I heard it start to turn again, and it displays the file.

    Hello

    The HARD drive seems to work in relation to other computers, but it refuses to work only with the TV. Is this good?

    Well, what to say I recommend checking out the LG page for some firmware updates you can also consult the USP port options in the settings of your TV system
    I put t know if these parameters are available or not, but I think you should check it out.

    You could also format the HARD drive again and can store multimedia files again on the HARD disk in some cases new format can be useful

  • Personal Media Drive (HDD) is not recognized in HP xb4 Docking Station laptop with HDX 18i

    Hello:

    This is my first post since obtaining these three pieces of equipment.

    a lot of problems with my new laptop and separate hard drive docking station.

    But this one is the most annoying:

    my HP Personal Media Drive HD10000x slips into a Bay (specifically for these players) on my xb4 docking station.

    Connected to the docking station is my laptop, a HDX18.

    Everything works very well between the laptop and docking station, except the HARD drive: it lights not or anything when you slide into the dock media Bay.

    This is supposed to be 'hot-swapable' and everything, but it is just dead.    It's new, but I hate to send it back (at my expense) if there is another problem here.

    If someone has encountered this?

    Help, please!

    Thank you

    You need to connect the power adapter to the personal media player - at the back of the dock XB4, next to where sits the personal media player.  So there are two adapters CA / CC plugged into the XB4.

  • Envio 3TO Ext HDD not recognized

    Hi my external HD can no longer be recgnised by my 64 bit Windows 7 computer. There were always a little skittish because I couldn't start my computer with connection. But now he says that he does not recognize it and comes up with an error 43. I tried to reinstall the drivers, but it still doesn't work.

    I have many irreplaceable info on the external hard drive and am really upset that I can't make it work

    Can someone help me please.

    The 43 error could appear due to different reasons and so its not easy to say what causes this HARD drive failure.

    The issue could be due to the defective, faulty driver installation cable USB or a USB port.
    It is also possible that the system has been confusing upward and the registry should be cleaned or repaired.

    From there where I bit you should check some necessary workarounds.
    First of all I recommend you connect this HARD drive on another computer.
    Test it by using the 2nd laptop or desktop PC and connect the HARD drive to different USB ports.

    S computer USB ports should be checked as well. Disconnect all USB devices.
    Go to Device Manager and remove all USB hubs, controller and ports.
    Then restart the system.
    After restarting again, the system must initialize ports that are automatically deleted.

    Last but not least Microsoft published a document of troubleshooting in order to solve the problem of error 43.

    Error: USB device not recognized when you try to access an external USB hard disk.

    If anything would help him, probbaly the HARD disk is defective :(

  • HDD and dvd are not recognized in the configuration menu, what could be the problem?

    The hard drive and dvd drive are not recognized on the configuration menu for my desktop Pavilion a4316f.  What is a controller failure?  A PCI controller can be used to replace the motherboard controller?

    dhobs,

    Anguish, that the suffering of the faulty motherboard has been aggravated by your actions. Why you decided to perform a restore (which re - formate the disk, erase all your data files (documents, photos, videos to misic,) is really amazing.)

    You had a viable BONE, work and the data store. You he clobbered with recovery. As explained, the 'tattoo' reads the embedded hardware configuration and will stop at the resumption of treatment if it detects a change.

    Only temporary help I can offer is to open the computer case and install a small 12v on the NVidia chip fan. IF the chip is not 100% burned, you can earn low enough time to reinstall the operating system and then add the map.

  • HDD not recognized after format

    I reformatted a HARD drive via the cable series/SATA from another operable XPS machine. I plugged the HARD drive into the unit of Dimension 8400 troubled.

    I to configure a base boot shipped with XP install disks.   Windows Setup runs at the Welcome to Setup screen. Selection of ENTRY or R for the results of recovery in the setup console do not find hard drive units.

    I in the configuration of the system. The boot sequence displays the SATA hard drive is not present. but the workout section suggests that 0:SATA Drive-0 is enabled, activated and the connected device is usable. The details of the command show player that ID is unknown.

    How can I get the drive reformatted to be recognized?

    JackShack,

    My installation disc was SP2 then I obtained a copy of the installation with SP3 disk and got the same HARD drive not recognized as before. On a whim, I changed motherboards and all straightened out. I think it was a hardware problem. Thank you for your generous support.

  • Tecra M9-185 - 750 GB HARD drive not recognized

    I have Tecra M9-185 (PTM91E-0G4045G3) with BIOS Version 1.90 dated the 29.02.2008.
    It came with HARD drive of 160 GB, which is quite old and needs replacement. I want to upgrade the HARD drive. I tried to use the 750 GB HARD drive, but it was not recognized by the BIOS.

    Is it possible to upgrade the HARD disk? Is there a limit to the ability of the new HARD disk that can be installed?

    Hello

    Of course, the HARD drive can be upgraded.
    The laptop supports the SATA controller. The SATA controller is not limited to a special HARD drive size of my knowledge. 750Go should be supported too. But it might be possible that the BIOS is not able to manage these dimensions.
    Try a different SATA HDD with the smaller size.

    But question: why you n t choose an SSD (250 GB)?
    I have improved my Tecra A10 with a 250 GB SSD and the performance gain is amazing. The machine is running much faster and quieter

  • HP EliteBook 8730w: replacement of SSD for the boot drive not recognized

    I'm trying to install a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 500 GB instead of the original 500 GB HDD in my Elitebook 8730w (product no. VF889PA #ABG). The 8730w has the latest BIOS (F.20) installed and that is running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (fully patched).

    When it is connected to the laptop through a USB adapter, to clone the HARD disk image. the SSDS works correctly. Cloning through data Migration Samsung is reported as a success, and the image of the C:\ drive occupies approximately 153 GB. The image of the disc does not include the partition of 1 GB dedicated to HP_TOOLS, due to a known limit of the Samsung software supplied.

    When it is installed in the HARD drive Bay. the SSD is not recognized as a drive and does not appear in the list of startup options. The available boot options only shown are the DVD or a network boot.

    would be very grateful for any advice on the steps required to successfully install the Samsung SSD as boot drive.

    Hmmm.
    Honestly no, I'm not happy with this one. If it was my machine, I'd be a little concerned about whats the corner of the street. In view of the age, is not surprising really, things wear out over time, the mere fact of electronics.

    Search through everything you have posted, all photos, pdf, all the text double checking. I am absolutely puzzled as to what happened. If you 100% does not reinstall the hard disk between the posts above where no HARD drive is detected in the menu boot options for the post below that where the HARD drive is detected in the same menu. I would say that you have a problem with either, the ssd, the computer motherboard laptop or the small connector on the sata port, I think on these is integrated on the motherboard, so it seems that your advice is doubtful.
    If his works now, great... but be aware that your machine can fail at some point in the near future. And it looks like a defect of the motherboard, other things are probably waiting to fail.

    There is no reason whatsoever your laptop must not have seen this ssd at first startup. A HARD drive is a HARD disk, if its compatible sata, then it will work, no doubt. When he is not on an older machine, its probably a sign of a faulty component.

    Looking through your bios options, I recommend the following.

    On startup options, get rid of internal nic pxe boot, that will only slow your machine at startup as it will seek for a network bootable device. This is the message that you get at startup saying Media Test Failure, this page is preventable with this option disabled.
    Less built lan/wlan switching on enabled in the options of the terminal, also change. This means that if you use wifi at home for example and you decide to plug in a cable network directly to the router to speed up the connection, it will not pass if it is not defined, you will have to do it manually. I work in a large company and the number of people who have this option is unreal. They all assume when they are docked they will on the wired connection.

    Because we are here too, if you ever have problems with a flickering screen, first thing to try, is disable the ambient light sensor which is just below this option of switching. Its fine on normally, but its quite common on 8560p for this causes a flickering screen.

    Hope that helped. Good luck in what you decide to do with the machine
