Adapter Ultrabay - HARD drive does not appear

I just bought a new adapter for my T400 Thinkpad ultrabay. I put a brand new Toshiba 320 HDD and place in the laptop. The HARD drive is another laptop but is still new, I bought my companion who has installed a newly purchased SSD in his cell.

in any case, when I placed the ultrabay adapter in the notebook with the new HARD drive, I received a message that Windows 7 was install drivers for the new Toshiba drive, the standard procedure. But I don't see anything in my computer.

HARD drive appears in Device Manager but not in my computer. See the screenshot.

I tried to follow these instructions with no luck. I also tried to update the BIOS with no luck.

The light on the adapter does not-maybe it is somehow off?

Help, please...

Too bad. I solved the problem. I used Partition Wizard Home Edition to see the drive and create a new NTFS partition on the HARD drive and a drive letter assigned.

Thought I'd post the solution here if someone would know a similar problem.

  • New hard drive does not appear in the disk utility

    I am installing a new hard drive in my late 2011 13 "MacBook Pro. I started using apple's online retrieval system and went to disk utility. I tried to format the drive, but he is stuck saying "remove disc" for about a half hour, and then I had a rotation beach ball and could not move the cursor. I restarted the computer and now the drive does not appear in the disk utility. Any help is appreciated as I have no idea where to go from here.

    Thank you.

    You will may be turned off and check that your hard drive is correctly positioned with all the screws tight.

  • Drive external hard drive does not appear under "devices."

    Hello

    I just updated my OS to Sierra of MacOS. I have connected my external hard drive (HDD) and it does not appear under "Devices" in my Finder window. It worked fine before the update.

    I use a MacBook Pro (end of 2013), currently running MacOS Sierra (Version 10.12). My external HARD drive is a SeaGate Slim SL Media (500 GB).

    The external HARD disk appears in disk utility application. He also appears on the about this Mac > system report > USB. I don't know what the problem is, the external HARD disk is identified but does not appear for use in the Finder window.

    I read that it could possibly be in mode 'sleep' and putting the MacBook to sleep (while it is plugged into the external HARD drive) and it to wake up again should solve the problem. However, it did not work. No more restarting my MacBook. It was mentioned in another post that it may require extra power, so I attached power adapter and again, without success.

    I do not want to clear the contents of the external HARD drive.

    Is there a way to get my external HARD drive works as expected with my MacBook?

    Thank you much in advance.

    I also have this problem.

    My camera is Macbook Pro 13 "retina 2015 and Seagate Backup more 1 TB (NTFS - Paragon NTFS)

    * Edit *.

    My HDD show in report system > hardware > USB

    but it does not show in Finder or Desktop.

    Please help and Windows 7 or windows 8.1 PC do the same thing.

    Hello

    I found the description of the product of this external HARD disk:

    Product features:
    • USB 3.0 - powered portable add-on storage.
    • Voltage of bus capable USB, no need for AC adapter.
    • Easy to use with no software to install.
    • Adapts to large digital files with spacious storage capacity.
    • Protect your drive (internal shock sensor and ramp loading technology).

    Specifications
    • Capacity: 1.0 TB
    • Interface: USB 3.0
    • Transfer rate: up to 5 Gb/s
    • Speed: 5 400 rpm
    • Average access time: 12ms
    • Cache buffer: 8 MB

    It is a HARD USB 3.0 drive. No doubt the HARD drive is not recognized correctly in windows exploerer due to the low power.
    The USB 2.0 port common feeds only 500mA. The USB 3.0 device must be able to 900mA.
    Therefore, it would be advisable to connect this 2 ports USB 2.0 HARD drive with a USB Y cable

  • hard drive does not appear el capıtan

    Hello. First of all, I must say that I am not good in English. But I'll try my best to explain what my problem is.

    MacBook Pro OS X EL CAPITAN series: 10.11.2

    I have a hard drive which called WD My passport 500 GB. When ı connect to my mac. I get my password to WD unlocker. Its does not appear on the desktop. It shows the utility disc, but as a transparent. Its gives no information on the hard disk, as applications 0 KB, photos etc, 0 KB.

    I tried first aid button. It said first aid was fallen I tried to connect the Desktop button. He dıd not happen. It is just to stay there as a transparent. I closed and open my mac again. I wanted to be sure that my hard drive is broken or not. I tried with another computer which is windows. He worked there. My disc format is MS - DOT (FAT) but ı have same problem. Can you help me to fıx it. I have very important files. Thank you

    Best account.

    I'm not 100% sure, but I think the problem is that you have installed the WD (WD Unlocker) software. On a Mac, you should not install all software 'smart' to manage external dives.

    Original title:

    Everything was fine until yesterday. Juice now, when I plugged the external HD into the USB port it does not appear in the 'my computer' window.

But if she does not appear in the 'my computer' window I can't work with it or don't even know what it I have arquived in it.

    Trying to find a solution, I realized that same 'information system' to 'System tools' is also not available. Pops up a window saying that "Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing enforcement. " To resolve this problem, start the service named help and Support '. OK, I tried to open 'Help and Support' ' Start Menu ' and the same window appeared again to "not have a system service that runs". I don't know what her soul precisely and I have not the slightest idea of what I need to do to correct this 'disappearance' of Service 'system '. There is nothing without the appearance of HD in the window of thw work? Everything else works fine and the calculation is virus-free. What should I do?

  • Hard drive does not 'appear '.

    I recently bought a new 640 GB hard drive to use as my main drive. Currently, I have a 150 GB drive and have room for a second. I just plug it in and start the Vista installation CD and it does not even notice that I installed it. I came home and the cables SATA, to make sure I got a new worked very well or that the new disc has not broken.

    Well, now the new disk appears, but the old man went. (I think I've been too power since I changed the disc autour). I know that the two cables, but when one of the disks is plugged into the second port, it does not work. This is my first install a new hard drive, so any help or suggestion would be nice!
