• Hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS - Equium A60

  Hi hope someone can help. I have a Toshiba Equium EA60-173 and the hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS. When I remove the hard drive and put it in another laptop it is detected fine. I also tried another hard drive in the Toshiba and that does not work either. So I suspect the IDE controller has disappeared, but can I do to confirm this? I wish there was an option in the BIOS to force detection. I updated the BIOS but still the same.

  This laptop is only just out of warranty, so if it is the controller would I need to replace the motherboard? Are there other options at my disposal?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Neil,

  Unless there is some physical\problem with the cable/connector hard drive, then it is most likely that you will have a new mainboard for your laptop. I suggest you to contact an authorized service partner and ask them to check your laptop and give you an estimate of the cost of the repair. Then you can try to shop for less expensive alternatives.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A60 - replacement HD not recognized in the BIOS

  I have an A60 which began to shut down and not start.
  I tried to use the restore CD that has reinstalled the operating system, but the laptop still not managed to start after that.

  I suspected that the HD failed and bought a toshiba 40gig drive replacement. I have installed the new drive but and been in the BIOS (F2 and F1), but the BIOS indicates there is no HD installed.

  The recovery CD installs saying there no drive selected.

  Can anyone offer any help or advice on what I can try next?

  Here are some technical details.

  Laptop Toshiba A60-672
  old MK4025GAS (40gig) drive

  Thank you

  > I have an A60 which began to shut down and not start.
  I tried to use the restore CD that has reinstalled the operating system, but the laptop still not managed to start after that.
  For me, it looks more like an overheating problem caused by the internal temperature.
  It is a typical problem if the cooling fans are clogged and that air can circulate properly.

• A SSD from OCZ Agility 3 disc works with a dv9700T? Mine is not recognized by the BIOS.

  I bought a 120 GB OCZ SSD Agility 3 disc to install in my laptop the dv9700T CTO.  The drive is not recognized by the BIOS when it is installed in the Bay of 1 or 2, but is recognized when connected via USB as a secondary drive.  The drive works fine in a different computer, so I know the drive works.  There seems to be a problem with the SATA (ICH8) controller.

  Someone at - it any information on that?  Would love to get the drive works in my laptop.

  Thank you.

  Lloyd

  If you have a HARD drive installed in the secondary Bay and the OCZ SSD in the first Bay, the dv9700t starts and works very well.

• Satellite L50 - B - 2 8 - new SSD is not recognized in the BIOS settings

  Hello

  I just bought a new laptop Toshiba Satellite L50 - B - 2-8 and I also bought Samsung SSD 850 evo 250 GB.
  When I try to install the SSD drive rather my drive HARD, the BIOS show 'none' in the category of SSD/HDD (BIOS not recognize the SSD).

  Please help me.
  My bios version is: 2.00
  someone told me that I have to downgrade my version of BIOS to 1.2V and then the BIOS recognize the SSD drive, so perhaps someone here can send me a download link for version 1.2 of my model L50 - B - 2-8.
  Thank you

  someone told me that I have to downgrade my version of BIOS to 1.2V

  And who? I mean you are sure that this person was right?
  From my point of view of the few there is no reason why beginning version BIOS should recognize the SSD and the latest version of the BIOS is not...

  But BIOS v1.2 for series Satellite L50 - B - 2 8 PSKTQE there is no v2.0 (at this time) is the latest version and previous versions of BIOS are not available for this series.

  Also, I guess you must slimply check different SSD drive... it might be possible that the other SSD drive would be recognized correctly.

  By the way: I am owner of Evo 850 SSD drive and as I remember, I had to update the firmware of the SSD drive to use it correctly in my other laptop (not the Toshiba device)

• Satellite L100: CD/DVD drive is not recognized in the Bios or workstation

  Satellite L100 - 170 No.PSLA3E model 02501QEN under Win XP.

  The icon of the CD/DVD drive has disappeared from the desktop and is not listed in the Device Manager or showing in the BIOS.
  There is power to the drive and the tray ejects OK
  I tried to use the ease of adding new hardware in the Control Panel, but it does not list a CD player.
  I removed the disc and then re - it sitting, but it made no difference.

  I used the restoration of the system for the last available date 26 January 08, but it does not restore the CD player... and I have none, he worked at that time.
  I don't think it's a faulty drive, because he is picking up power and when you insert a CD, it starts as if she was about to read the disc, but nothing appears on the screen.

  The laptop belongs to a child with autism and all I can get out he is "I don't know" when asked what happened to the laptop.
  Sorry I don't have any other information.

  Can anyone help.

  Thank you

  Jan

  Well, usually if the CD/DVD drive doesn t appear in the BIOS or BIOS cannot recognize the ODD then chances are that the CD/DVD drive is malfunctioning.

  But the best way to check this is a new installation of the OS. You should try to boot from a bootable XP CD.
  If the laptop would be able to boot from the CD, then the material is ok.

• new drive HARD Seagate Barracuda not recognized in the BIOS

  Hello

  The Inspiron 530 desktop computer BIOS does not recognize my new HARD drive. It's a Seagate Barracuda 500 GB (ST3500413AS). I try to reinstall Vista, but installation can't find a drive with 3.9 GB. Wrong type of drive in the BIOS found, I think that.

  Tried several things, but no results: check the BIOS, but with automatic selection drive only to find a 4 GB (wrong type), updated the BIOS drive (now 1.0.18), tried several drivers with startup etc.

  Think I need a good driver, but on the site Web of Seagate, they say that there is no firmware for this drive.

  can someone help me?

  THX, David

  Thanks for all the support.

  It wasn't a problem with the SATA 3 or something like that, but the HARD drive was missing. There is no other choice. Come back with my HARD drive (and information) to the store and finally got a new. I hope that the other works :)

  THX and greetings

• HP Pavilion dv7-6004ea: new SSD not recognized in the BIOS

  Hi I have a want dv7 and is currently using a 700 GB drive HARD However im upgrading to an SSD

  I bought a Sandisc SSD PLUS 120 GB, I cloned the HDD to the SSD, I see partitions

  in windows Explorer when im running HDD, but when I try to boot from SSD I get an error

  error code (3F2) I ran diagnosis but no result without error of ideas? Thank you

  If you use the Apricorn software and a usb cable to SATA it should work.

  I did it several times without problem, except when I got an SSD that was a problem.

  Replace the original hard drive in the notebook.

  Download the latest version of the firmware from the manufacturer to the SSD and install it.

  Once you have done this, try cloning of the OS for the SSD, reinstall it in Notepad and start on the SSD.

• HARD drive is not recognized on the Satellite 2800 200

  Hello

  First of all, I'm Dutch so I hope that I do not have too many mistakes in my English writing.

  I bought a 2800-200 Satellite at a friend's House. This laptop has a problem.
  When it is started is says "insert the disk in the drive system. Press a key when readya?.

  My bios is ACPI BIOS version 1.80
  In Pheripheral in Bios it says disc hard = not used Mode.

  On page two discs i/o: HARD drive: no drive.

  I tried two hard drives and the two were not working and not recognized in the BIOS.
  I have no CD of restoration.

  My questions:

  What kind of central computer has this laptop?
  Can someone help me with the recovery CD?
  What can I do to fix this?
  How can I change my BIOS so that the HARD drive is recognized?

  My hard drive is MK2023GAS and is not broken. There is nothing on this HARD drive.
  But also with the disk hard 10 GB of origin, I had the same problem.

  I hope you can help me and once again I apologize for my English.

  Hello

  I'll try to help you my friend.

  > When it is started is says "insert the disk in the drive system. Press any key when ready
  This message appeared on my laptop after the HARD disk is dead.
  I had to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the operating system.

  I guess that it of the same problem with your laptop. The HARD drive is not present or not recognized, and you will need to install a compatible HDD for the operation of the OS.

  I have google a bit and discovered that this laptop comes with the 10 GB HARD MK1016GAP of Toshiba drive. It supports the interface ATA-2/ATA-3/ATA-4/ATA-5.

  Please note that many BIOS have a limit of size of HARD drive. This means that not all HARD drive sizes are supported! I assume a 20 GB should be compatible, but this is just my own opinion
  > How can I change my BIOS so that the HARD drive is recognized?
  The BIOS can be modified outside the update (check page driver Toshiba-> Archive-> archive of Satellite).
  But vary important is that you use a compatible HARD drive.

  > Can someone help me with the recovery CD?
  Don t know if you will be able to order this CD at the service provider allowed in your country, because the laptop is really an oldie. But you should ask the guys.
  What you is to install the OS from the Microsoft CD-ROM and then could install drivers needed.

• Foreign key constraint, not recognized during the synchronization of data with the model dictionary

  Hello

  Data Modeler is a foreign key constraints do not recognize when synchronizing data with the model dictionary, although the foreign key is there (in the database that a data dictionary is read). I can't find any criterion when a foreign key is not recognized by the Data Modeler. Are there limits to the length of the attribute, or the number of columns in a foreign key, or other limitations which may lead to this behavior not to recognize a fk by Data Modeler? I have columns more than 32 characters. I compared with the fk is recognized by DM, but I can't find anything that indicates why it is not recognized.

  I wonder if someone also has constraints of foreign keys that are not recognized in the comparison of data bases and model?

  Thank you

• Recognized by the BIOS but not by Windows 7 disks

  I have 4 internal installed hard disks that worked well up until the other day.  The first is my main C: drive.  The second is my main data with several patricians disc. Then, I have two drives more who serve backup online and archive.

  When that I start my computer, the BIOS reports all four drives are present, but for some reason any Windows 7 seems not be recognizing the last two.  They are not classified in management of the discs, even on a new analysis and won't come when I try to scan for missing devices using Device Manager, where they are also not listed.

  Someone at - it ideas why this might be?

  Hi enormouse affect,

  1. you did it any software / hardware on the computer before this problem past?

  2. What is the number of brand and model of the computer?

  There are several possible reasons that the hard drive is not recognized.

  ·         Missing Chipset drivers

  ·         Hardware failure

  ·         It is an IDE drive, and it is in the wrong state (master / slave)

  ·         It is disabled in the bios

  Determine if the hard drives Sata or IDE. Go into the bios and see if the disks are disabled by accident. If you have verified all of this, and the drive is still not recognized, download the latest drivers from the website of the manufacturer of your motherboard chipset. Try to change the mode from AHCI to IDE in the bios.

  Note: Changing the BIOS / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide 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.

  Let us know the status of the issue. If you need help, please after return. We will be happy to help you.

• Replacement masterdrive SATA not recognized by the Dell 8400 Bios AO 3 motherboard

  I have a Dell 8400 about 3 years. The original hard drive (WD800 WD Caviar SE Serial ATA Hard Drive 80 GB) died. I tried to install a replacement drive (WD Caviar SE16 320 GB SATA) with the Western Digital Data Lifeguard Tools series. The hard drive cannot be recognized by the BIOS, not the motherboard. Trying to install Win XP boot up occurs OK, but at the time of the final installation of XP without hard disk is discovered and the installation is complete. I called Western Digital and they advised me in early versions of cards mother SATA that they have to recognize the hard drive. I need to "update the SATA driver" Dell and load it into the sequence during the initial installation. I need to do with a floppy disk because a CD will not work. I have no drive disk on the computer, only a CD player and a DVD player. Any help is appreciated, just trying to learn, I'm a newbie. Thank you

• 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!
