• Inspiron 531 - 2nd SATA HDD not recognized

  Hi all

  Well my beautiful shiny new Dell was delivered today.

  I got my disk 'Data' from my old PC (before it is returned) and put in the new PC today. Connected by cable SATA and SATA power supply that connects the drive "primary".

  However, when the DVD player is connected to SATA 01 and disk 'data' to SATA 02 or 03 then the dat adrive is not detected in BIOS or Vista. I tried another SATA cable and swithched the SATA power leads between the main drive and the "data disk" but nothing works.

  However, when I disconnect DVD and then connect 'Data' drive to SATA 01 it appears.

  If I then reconnect the DVD SATA 02 or 03 while it does not appear.

  So overall, it seems that only SATA 01 and 02 or work.

  Someone at - it suggestions?

  The power supply is not enough strong (I also have an in this 8600GT GFX card)?

  See you soon

• Dv7 7243 cl envy: Envy dv7 7243 cl: installed SSD cloned as 1, new HD as 2nd. HD not recognized by Windows 8.1.

  My project: Installation SSD as main boot drive and a HD as secondary data drive.

  (1) purchased Samsung SSD 512 Pro, caddy Newmodeus & cable and a USB 3.0 to SATA 3 interface cable. - Fact

  (2) courses provided by using SSD HD clone start-up cable interface and software. - Fact

  (3) replace the current boot with SSD HD into the slot in the main drive of the dv7. - Fact

  (4) boot SSD dv7. - Fact, successfully starting from: SSD

  (5) purchase new HD, same model as the original HD boot (I wanted to record original HD) - fact

  (6) installed the new HD (as-is to the supplier) on the slot of the dv7 second disc using caddy and cable. - Fact

  (7) booted into BIOS dv7, ran F2 System Diagnostics / system information. - Made, has identified the two new HD and SSD

  (8)... / tests of components / Hard Drive / Quick Test / run once / select hard drives / 2. - Smart and DST both past

  (9) booted dv7 in Windows 8.1. - Fact

  (10) Ran / storage / disk (Local) management - showed no new HD, just the SSD and the CD-ROM.

  I guess the new HD and cable are ok since step 7 showed his information and step 8 showed it has passed its tests.

  The new does HD must be partitioned and formatted to be identified in point 8.1 of Windows?

  Upgrade to Windows 10 will fix the problem?

  Note: I unplugged the new HD SATA port and connected directly to my dv7 via a USB 3.0 port.  When I ran it again / storage / disk (Local) the new HD management has been shown (without drive letter and no file system designation) with 3 partitions.

  Any help getting my dv7 recognize the new HD would be greatly appreciated,

  Hi @pmhanson,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  It is a wonderful place to find answers and suggestions.

  You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the HP Forums.

  Learn how to post and more

  I understand that you have properly installed the SSD as boot drive. You have installed a new HD and it is recognized in the bios and passed all the tests. With the two drivers installed internally you started Windows but when you check the disk management it does not list the new HD.  While in disk management have you tried clicking on "Action and selecting"Analyze the disks?"

  When you have removed the hard drive and connected with the USB cable, the drive is listed and you saw 3 partitions on it with partitions without designation of file system and the drive letter. If the Player did not recognize when you did the rescan in disk management, because it is recognized when connected with USB, you can try to reformat the drive and assigning a driver letter when you are logged here.  Now, restart your laptop if you reinstall the internal drive, if it recognizes the drive?

  Please let me know the results.

• 2nd hard drive not recognized

  I have maybe over my head.  I have a HP p6680t, Windows 7, with an original hard drive 1 TB Samsung.  I recently got a 2 TB WD harddrive and installed in the port 1 (original in port 0).   Everything turned on, successfully, loaded the driver automatically but found no new disk in 'computer '.  Intel 'Rapid Storage Technology' found the new HDD and asked if I wanted to use as RAID1 with success.   I said yes.  He said that having created successfully the image after 3 hours.  Today, however, I like to use not as the RAID, but as an additional drive.  How he recognized by Windows?

  Hello

  First thing to do is update the TSRI softwarefrom the Intel site. Then, use a third-party imaging product to take a full backup image of the Array volume.  The TSRI Intel allows to check that you have only one volume of table with two hard drives. Now use TSRI to reset to normal table.

• 2nd HARD drive not recognized at startup

  HP Pavilion dv7-1245dx Notebook upgraded to Windows 7 Vista fm. Try to add nine more fast (7200 RPM) HDD (Seagate momentus 320) 2nd drive Bay. Can hear both drives running. Doesn't appear in disk management.

  1. someone with experience w / this?

  2. is it possible to add the 2nd internal drive or should I get a USB/esata cable & adapter?

  There is a review of YouTube mobile of that same computer laptop and it shows a 2nd HARD drive installed and working.

  My BIOS boot order does not list only 1 of 2 separate HDD shows primary and secondary diagnostic tests.

  My BIOS is very, very basic and is not very many options.

  Would be - that the problem be attributed to the speed (7200) faster or the power supply to the new HARD drive?

  The service guide says that you have a hard drive configuration 2 x 320 GB 5400 RPM, but I don't think that the speed must be at 5400 RPM. However, the speed of the two drives should be the same I guess. As 2 x 7200 rpm or 2 x 5400 RPM...

• External SATA drive not recognized in Windows 7

  I use a SATA Sabrent USB adapter to connect an old hard drive Samsung SATA with Windows XP on it to my new Windows 7 laptop.  The older hard drive a lot of files on what I would like to transfer through.  After I have the hard drive lights and then connect the USB adapter to the laptop, I see the message that the drivers have been installed, but no hard drive does not appear in the my computer window or in the disk management window.  Indeed, these windows will usually hang after that I connected the drive.  This could be a problem with the drivers not installed, or is there something else?  Any help is appreciated, I really want to recover the files from my old hard drive!

• 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

  Hello

  You mean an external USB drive or you've hooked internally? SATA is of course
  normally internal unless you have it in an external enclosure. If internal why it did you
  disconnected could lead to why it doesn't work now.

  If internal (are you sure that the disc is good - double check the wiring).

  After the foregoing:

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

  do it right.

• My SATA to USB bridge is not recognized in disk management

  I bought a few SATA USB adapter, connected to my WD hard drive and my USB port, the computer recognizes, to install software for it and that's all.
  I can't read the disc via Explorer because it is not recognized, only in the Device Manager it seems nowhere to be found, saying SPIF30x USB2SATA bridge device USB. I've searched for so many solutions and everything I find people you said to go to disk management and assign it a letter. Problem is, it does not appear. Everything I see here, is my main hard drive, divided into 4 parts, which should be normal, but in the port USB (F:\), where I plugged the adapter, it shows nothing. The adapter itself has 2 LEDs indicating power and access, with only the power light that shines. The light also keeps shining when I plug the hard disk, so my guess is the adapter is recognized, but the disk is not. The drive should work, I've so far always used internally (SATA cable from the motherboard, you know).
  Please help me with this.

  If its not seen in disk management and then the drive has failed or connection method, the usb/sata converter does not work

• Built in hard drives not recognized Mac pro 2010

  Hi all. At work, I have a Mac Pro 2010 tour which has two built in disks, running 10.10.5. Recently, the computer is not recognizing its own built in disks. The keyboard eject button will not open any of them, nor will be the eject option in the menu bar - he thinks that there are no drives connected. It is a work computer, and we'd love to have this feature back. Thanks in advance!

• MacBook Pro not recognizing the Cougar USB install

  I have a Macbook Pro 5.2-17 "retina display. I replaced the hard drive and I am installing Mountain Lion. The hard drive is not an SSD. It's a 500 GiB Western Digital SATA, partitioned with TPG and JHFS +.

  I started by installing El Capitan, because that's all I had. The installer of El Capitan is on an external USB drive that is partitioned. When I boot using the down Option key, the C key or command-R, the installer of El Capitan is recognized. I installed El Capitan, created an installer of Mountain Lion on a different partition on the same external USB drive and erased El Capitan the internal hard drive. When I boot on the USB setup of Mountain Lion is not recognized. Setup of El Capitan is recognized correctly. Why not available in boot manager during startup? When I got El Capitan installed, the two partitions have been recognized very well when I plugged in the USB. Both were mounted and appears on the desktop. So I know that the problem is not the USB key, or 2.0 or 3.0, or the recovery partition because I erased the disc and the recovery partition is no longer exist. How can I get the installer of Mountain Lion to be recognized at startup?

  I did the command Option P R, NVRAM reset several times. No joy. The only partition recognized at boot time is the installer of El Capitan.

  I want to level back to Mountain Lion because it is less intrusive than El Capitan and will be more familiar to the person who will use this computer.

  Oh, and more than two elements. When I start the installer for OS X from the external USB drive, I gives me three options on where to install TO - install OS X El Capitan, install OS X Lion mountain and Macintosh HD. Therefore the partition setup of Mountain Lion is recognized, but not as an installer to start from. Although when I plugged in the USB port when El Capitan was installed he showed as an installer Mountain Lion.

  Also, there is NO option to choose where to install FROM. If I have two installation programs, I have two choices of installation?
