2nd 2 TB Seagate hard disk not detected

Currently, my Dimension 3100 desktop, 2.8 GHz P4 w/HT, 1.0 GB of ram has a Seagate 2 TB (6 Gb/s) inside. This hard drive replaced two hard disks, size 1. TB and 500 MB. The original 2 TB drive is full, 85%, so I bought another hard drive, exactly the same style and size as the active drive (STBD2000101). I run Linux as my main operating system, which is a resident of GParted. After that I physically installed 2nd hard drive 2 TB to SATA2, I tried to put up with GParted from the first hard drive to SATA0. Although GParted indicated that the drive was present, when this player was selected GParted not reported "no device detected". Temporarily, I removed the original drive and installed the 2nd hard drive to SATA0 for the purposes of the implementation of the partitions and format it ext3 of the live CD. It worked for the most part, except that GParted reported the drive as 29 GB used, even after formatting again. To make a long story short, I did some troubleshooting and found that nothing is really wrong, except that the 2, 1-TB limit has been exceeded when I installed the second hdd. The BIOS recognizes the new HDD on SATA2. GParted, run from the original disc with Linux OS, see a player but is grayed out when the disc is selected. I can see there is a problem with the limit of 2.1 TB on the capacity of the drive. Unfortunately, I use GRUB legacy bootloader installed on the MBR. I hope that others have worked through this kind of problem. Please notify.

Thanks for the help. I knew why the second hard drive was not recognized. It is a matter of core, I use an old version of Linux. Recent kernels is not a problem with the detection of two hard drives of 2 TB. It is true that I have never exceeded the famous limitation of 2 TB. The kernel that would not see the second disc was 2.6.32. I now use the kernel 3.2.33. without any problem. Even if the drive can be detected by kernels older (for example. 2.6.32.59) there may be questions that deserve to move on to a core even more recent. "Grep sdb unpacking" command will display warnings if they exist.

  • Second SATA hard drive not detected by Bios and Device Manager

    Original title: second SATA hard drive

    Hard drive not detected by the Bios and the device under Vista Home Premiun Manager

    Hi trinitario,.

    Because the hard drive is not detected in the BIOS also, it may be due to a hard drive configuration that should be changed or a rider. If you need to get in touch with a Local tech-store for assistance.

    Note: change in the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • Inspiron 5748, Crucial M500 - "internal hard disk not found".

    My Inspiron 5748 comes with w8.1 pre-loaded onto a standard 500 GB hard drive, but I wanted to move to an SSD. I have two M500s Crucial (the two 2.5 "); one with W7 loaded from another laptop, the other barely taken out of the box.

    With one of them installed, the message at startup after the dell symbol arrives is "internal hard disk not found", and while there is no bootable media found.

    In both cases, UEFI and back diagnonstics reporting tools that there is indeed a crucial m500 present and functional. Both work well in my other laptops (purchased separately).

    Is there a problem of formatting? There is no update available for this SSD firmware.

    Thank you!

    Hi Wazzbot,

    Use the recovery discs Windows 8.1 you prepared using the Dell printer utility to backup and restore Windows loading on the SSD drive. Because the disks are the same size, it should work without problem.

    Hello

    Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    I suggest you follow the methods and check them off below if it helps.

    Method 1:

    Try the troubleshooting hardware and devices running tool and check.
    Reference: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Open-the-Hardware-and-Devices-troubleshooter

    Method 2:

    Check your hard drive for errors:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-a-drive-for-errors
     
    Note: when running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.


    Method 3:

    Initialize the disk in disk management.

    Create and format a hard disk partition : http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-and-format-a-hard-disk-partition

    Note: Converting a hard disk partition or volume from NTFS to FAT32 requires that you reformat the partition, which deletes all the data on this subject. Be sure to back up data that you want to keep before you begin.

    Method 4:

    Try to connect with another computer and check if it helps.

    If the problem is still persist, then it would be best to contact Seagate for further assistance.

  • External hard drive not detected with the error: "You must format the disk in the J: drive until you can use it."

    Hello

    I have an external hard drive to work perfectly. I'm back from vacation, and it does not appear under "My Computer". It appears under "Devices and printers", however. This is a link to a screencap of Device Manager: http://i.gyazo.com/9e91e1d71ed32c55dba0419e79b499d5.png

    The device in question is that of J:, and it says here that he has 100% free space, that worries me, because he had only 50 GB of free space when I used the latter. After that I open the disk management, I get a pop up message saying: "You must format the disk in the J: drive until you can use it."

    How can I get my hard drive appears again?

  • Hard drive not detected on Satellite Pro 4270

    I took out the 2 "5 HDD of my SP4270 to transfer data to my PC via an EIDE 5 3" 5-2"adapter, HD has been detected by the bios of my PC and the transfer was successful.
    Then I reinserted the Bay 2 "5 for laptop from my hard drive, but I get the message"Insert system disk in drive.".
    I checked the boot priority in the setup and it shows a HDD-> CD-> sequence FDD.
    In the DISKS to bios section, I see HDD = IDE (1F0H/IRQ14) primary.

    I extracted and reinsert the disc again, hard, but without result.
    What could be the problem?

    Hello

    It is not easy to say what is happening here. Please when you pull it out HARD drive remove the connection of the power supply and the battery first.

    Check all the pins on the HARD drive. I hope they are all okay.

  • External SSD hard drive not detected by Airport Extreme/Time Capsule

    Hello everyone, I have the following problem:

    -J' tried smb and cifs via 'connect to server', but does not work.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Unfortuantely, Apple did not update the firmware on the USB key (it is still 2.0) port on their routers for a number of years.  As a result, new USB 3.0 drives may or may not work with airports.

    Yes, we know that USB 3.0 is supposed to be backward compatible with USB 2.0 in theory, but theory does not always work in practice.

    If your drive is formatted as Mac OS extended (journaled)... also called HFS +... .and you have tried the drive with and without a USB hub powered and the reader will not be displayed with you check using the AirPort Utility disks tab... then you have one of a number of readers who do not work with routers from the airport.

    I just checked a new LaCie USB 3.0 drive I have here. It works perfectly with a Mac, but it appears not at all when I connect it to the USB port or a powered new AirPort Extreme or new Time Capsule directly, or by using a USB hub.

  • HP Elitedesk 800 G2 SFF: external hard drive not detected in the BIOS. Only USB Flash drives are detected.

    Hi all

    I received recently 2 new HP desktop computers.

    HP Elitedesk 800 G2 SFF

    HP Elitedesk 800 G2 TWR

    The goal is to test our real W7 x 64 image on these machines and to inject the missing drivers in the image.

    MDT 2010 to create a deployment on a USB hard disk drive.

    This disc of deployment is already used on 16 different models of HP in the company (Elitebook, zBook, EliteDesk) to install our image so I know it works.

    Unfortunately, the two HP Elitedesk 800 G2, I can't start the boot disk but I cannot to USB for a USB key.

    The USB drive is not detected and not proposed in the BIOS Menu of STARTUP.

    Only the internal HD, external USB Flash Disk, DVD and network devices are detected.

    Here's what I already checked or tried:

    • Latest Version of the BIOS installed (2.05)
    • UEFI Boot has been disabled. (not supported by our record of deployment)
    • USB ports are enabled (front and rear).
    • All types of USB devices are allowed in the BIOS
    • The start command has been changed to start with USB devices.
    • Legacy support is active and Secure Boot disabled
    • Delete the keys to secure boot
    • Reset secure by default startup keys
    • This morning, I created a new disk deployment on a USB Flash drive and it works!

    So, it seems that only Flash USB drives are detected.

    I know it is possible to return the flag removalble on a USB device to cheat the system and make it appear as a disk fixed, but I want a simple solution.

    Does anyone know a fix or a workaround for this problem?

    Thanks in advance!

    For those interested in the answer, here's the final results.

    It turns out that the hard 500 GB external drive can be detected if it is fomatted in FAT32.

    It's strange because my 16 GB USB Flash drive formatted in NTFS works very well.

    In any case, I'll create a FAT32 Partition to the Boot MDT files and put my picture (because the file is too big for FAT32 partition) on the secondary partition (formatted as NTFS).

    Thanks to the technical pre-sales team of HP who helped me with this!

  • HARD drive not detected in the BIOS on Satellite A215

    Hi all

    I could use to solve this problem: bought this laptop computer without a disk of the auction. Installed again 2.5 inches HDD SATA 250 GB, which was not detected in BIOS and also not detected when using a MS Vista installation disc. When trying to install Vista, get a message no drive seen HARD and demand for pilots.
    I flashed the BIOS with version (2.0) of lates without problem through the CD drive, but still no detection of HARD drive.

    The drive partitioned and formatted NTFS without problem by using another computer and USB SATA adapter using the command line method. Just for additional verification, I went on the new HARD drive to an extra 2.5 "SATA HDD used for backups, but that the HARD drive has also not been detected.

    It is not a "compatibility" option in CMOS to select SATA or Auto, etc..
    There is not a second HDD, so this isn't a question of slave/primary. There are no jumpers on the new HARD drive.
    Set the CMOS settings 'by default' does not solve the problem.

    The SATA connectors on the HARD drive and laptop computer are in perfect condition.
    Also, the drive is not detected on the laptop connected via USB to SATA Adapter, but of course there is no OS installed to support this connection.

    In any case, I just can't come up with any more ideas to try.
    Any suggestions would be really appreciated!

    Best,
    Glenn

    Hello

    The BIOS should recognize the HARD disk even if the SATA mode would be compatible or AHCI. This should not affect the recognition of the HARD drive.

    You said that you have tested the condition of the HARD drive and it's ok, so I guess that it s no disc HARD question.
    Hmm, you could try to format the HARD drive once more and then connect the portable computer HARD drive.

    Another idea: Remove/Disconnect the CD/DVD drive and then connect the HARD drive to the SATA connector.
    If it does not, then I recommend to test another HARD drive, otherwise if the new HARD drive would not work, then a SATA controller may be defective.

  • PX1268E 400 GB external hard drive not detected

    Hi all

    I bought a Toshiba external hard 400GO USB Drive of DABS it delivered without a CD Rom. I plugged the USB cable into the computer, but it did not detect the drive, even after re - starts or try other USB slots. Not shown in Device Manager. I probably need this CD to complete the installation Yes? Download the installer from here?
    Any info/advice gratefully received.
    see you soon

    Hello

    I don't know if this external HARD drive needs an additional but installation CD everything must be shipped with the HARD m disk box!
    To my knowledge this HARD drive needs an external power supply. The cable must be delivered also with this HARD drive.

    So take your manual HDD and check shipped all parts! If something is missing you dealer of HARD drive!

    PS; the CD cannot be downloaded on the net!

  • External hard drive not detected

    I have an external hard drive of 4 Marine to... .and a Macbook pro with the latest El Capitan... When I connect the external hard drive for Mac pro, an external hard drive can not detect, but there is a light flashing on the external hard drive. It worked well until last night after I used iTunes and went to another Mac. I still eject properly.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem

    Try using disk utility to repair the disk. If the drive does not appear in the disk utility list, then he dies. Contact the manufacturer or supplier.

    Shut down the computer, disconnect the drive. Wait five minutes and then reboot and reconnect the drive.

  • Pavilion 15-p080ca hard drive not detected in Win8, 03F1 0021 03F0 Bios errors, impossible to recover

    Hello

    I bought a new laptop from Windows 8 15-p080ca tigerdirect.ca Pavilion and he received a couple of days.

    The computer restarts randomly when working on it, I remember reading an IO error message in a popup windows.

    Since then, he constantly reboot, tries to load windows, fails and restarts until the auto repair is involved.

    Journal of the system BIOS has to many warnings and error: 03F0, 03F1, 0021.  I had about 3 times a hard drive not found error on POST.

    I can't repair the installation either by partition recovery or recovery discs, I get "the disc is locked error" or "auto repair could not fix your pc.

    Also Manager of recovery can not find the recovery partition.

    On the command prompt diskpart list disk;  "There is no fixed disk to show.

    However, the live cd Ubuntu and xp Mini are able to see all the partitions, view files and read them, a quick HDtune read test indicates no disk error.

    The computer is able to read disk hard since I am able to get on the recovery and windows tries to load until I get "your pc ran into a problem that he couldn't handle and must be restarted.

    HP PC Hardware diagnostic SMART test, short DST returns warning.  Diagnostic test of smart HP returned message 'no hard drive installed' only once.

    Whatever it is that the base Windows 8, if the recovery disc, original media is not able to see the hard drive.

    I tried to boot the recovery disc, the recovery partition with each combination of Legacy support and secure start to recover partitions without success because the hard drive is not detected (from diskpart list disk command).  The recovery DVDs, I get an error 0xefffff08. I also tried to remove the thought of recovery partition that he might want to move things faster.

    Well, after many hours of research and testing, I think I tried everything I could do and would need support for additional testing or replacement of the defective material.

    Thank you very much in advance for your help,.
