Aspire M3400 Office will not identify newly installed SSD

An old functional computer: Aspire M3400 with upgrades: AMD phatom II X 4, 12 GB of RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 730. Long worked like a charm. Recently bought a new SSD thought to make a clone to replace aging HARD drive, but it is not found in the system.

the new SSD is Micron M500 480 GB SATA III. It has been recognized in the BIOS, but once the operating system is loaded from the old HDD, the new SSD did not show anywhere, including disk management. In the Device Manager disk drives showed only the HARD drive, that the new SSD was not.

I tried to bind the SSD with the original SATA cable, didn't stand a chance. I acutally put the SSD in another office that is also running windows 7 and the other computer is able to automatically detect and install the SSD without problems. I formatted the SSD Windows 7 on the other computer and then re-set back to Acer Aspire M3400. Still, there is the same problem: the desktop computer does not recognize the formatted SSD.

What could wrong? Is it possible Acer Aspire M3400 is incompatible with SSD?

Any input would really be appreicated!

You can try to switch to AHCI RAID, following the instructions in this article:

Boot using a RAID, make the registry change, then switch to AHCI.

  • Satellite A135-S2356 - BIOS will not identify SATA hard

    Hello everyone, hope you can help out me.

    Got a Satellite A135-2356 opportunity, everything seems fine but BIOS will not identify SATA HDD, shows no disk BIOS downgraded to 1.30, not good, upgraded to 1.40, not good. BIOS has no change/test/detection of HDD/SATA settings options. Tested the drive in another laptop and it reads very well. Received the Toshiba (Vista Basic 32) recovery CD, but given that the BIOS will not read the disk, can't do anything. Cleaned contacts, not good. This HARD disk must be too large, or something for the Board of Directors.

    * Hitachi HTS541612J9SA00 120 GB SATA, 5400 RPM *.

    Thanks for the help!

    Hello Richie

    To be honest, I do not think the disc is too big for your laptop. I can imagine that your laptop can handle with drives of 160 GB too. Unfortunately there is no public document on the possibilities of HARD drive upgrade. I can imagine that ASP in your country has information about such things.

    It's also quite strange that HDD is not recognized correctly. Long ago, I had the same problem. Every time when I used F12 at startup disk HARD were not as boot device. Solution in my case was to upgrade the BIOS to the default settings. I believe that your BIOS has already the default settings, but try to do it again.

  • Satellite L850 - Win8.1 will not let me install the chipset drivers

    Hello

    After I've upgraded to pro 8.1 windows 64 bit 64-bit windows 8 (preinstalled), I thought that windows will not let me install the chipset drivers (downloaded from "toshiba site" for windows 8.1 pro 64-bit), but they stay with windows drivers installed for them.
    The Device Manager displays all installed and properly using. In addition, during the implementation was executed to install the chipset driver, he skipped most of them, to install a missing driver only (unfortunately have not kept any screen to show). I tried to install using the Device Manager (automatic search or manually navigating the computer files downloaded from the site), but it keeps saying that the drivers are up-to-date (drivers with the version from 2006, when later seen on the site are 2014). Any suggestion what to do?

    The best way to manage old cameras that have compatibility problems is not to connect the camera to the computer, but rather to remove the memory card from the camera and use a desktop card reader to make transfers.

  • Updates will not download and install - NO ERROR CODE - updates remain at 0%

    For Adobe Support.

    I get the popup "update" whenever I connect to my computer and it gives me an error message but no code error. The update starts at 0% and stays there indefinitely.

    It's VERY frustrating because on top of working 10 hours today, I have now lost another hour, trying in vain to find a solution.

    By quitting their stand alone suite (CS5, 6 etc) and later support for it, Adobe has FORCED me to use their Cloud Creative suite subscription. While I HATE not being able to buy a standalone program, I like the CC Suite and I'm PAYING for this subscription that provides the latest updates. Now, all of a sudden the updates will not download and install and Adobe wants me to follow a set RIDICULOUSLY long and complicated steps to solve the problem? It's a complete and absolute nonsense!

    I am a self-controlled, respectable and intelligent individual, but it makes me want to use profanity! I HAVE NO TIME FOR THIS NONSENSE.

    According to the latest information (see: Adobe : Cloud accelerates since 3.4 million paid creative members |) ProDesignTools) there is over 3.4 million people like me PAY for reliable use!

    Frankly, I'm so frustrated that I am very close to spearhead a national campaign to educate these users 3.4 million on the negligence of Adobe supported because it's visitors!

    WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM! ADOBE NEEDS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM! When you get this figured out, I'll certainly appreciate an e-mail from your. In the meantime. Be aware that each passing day, and whenever I see this pop up, it serves as a reminder that Adobe does not respect what they promised!

    Kind regards

  • Acer Aspire laptop bluescreened, will not start even in safe mode, running vista

    My roommates son asked me to help him to be on the internet, which I did, ran unusually slow in doing so, I noticed it when I checked, I found that the notebook had three solutions of different software protection, antivirus, Norton, McAffrey and AVG 2011 version for free. Also I noticed he had some solutions that provided a diagnosis, list of problems found and wanted to pay for the product before they would allow acccess to the fix. I uninstalled Norton and the McAffrey and improved the AVG free version of 2012. I also uninstalled the pesky diagnosis/buy me for the correction and the ask.com toolbar software. I installed ccleaner from piriform as well. The laptop seems to run a little faster, but the next morning he projected blue and when I tried to start it in safe mode it not loaded so far and then frozen, always in the same spot something AVGi and then it crashes, it will not load the rest of the necessary drivers. I tried to boot to the last known good as well. I even tried to downgrade to Windows xp home edition sp3 and when I do it it says there is no hard drive detected, and do I have to make sure that it works correctly.  I am at a loss, my sons friends bought the laptop (Acer Aspire 5315) for $50.00 and did not get a recovery disk so that the option does not exist or the other. What can I do to solve this problem. I'm sure that for some reason, it has to do with the BIOS and I went to the Acer site (from my laptop) and downloaded something to repair the bios on a flash drive, but me is not good because I can not start on either flash player. I am at a loss here and have no idea how to solve this problem. I am practically self-taught and I am a beginner when it comes to repairing the problems. This one is right behind me, someone has an idea what is my problem?

    I even tried to downgrade to Windows xp home edition sp3 and when I do it it says there is no hard drive detected, and do I have to make sure that it works correctly.

    If you tried to install Windows XP, and it says that? Do you have any installation CD? I don't want to say this, but maybe the hard drive went kaput. Maybe a little rare, but it can happen and so he bought the laptop for $50, which I am sure he did not a store. You hear a clicking sound from the hard drive? Have you checked for the hard drive in the BIOS?

  • Firefox 4 does not appear newly installed plugins navigator.plugins array

    In Firefox 4, I'm trying to detect with javascript whether a certain plugin is installed by looking in the navigator.plugins array. (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.navigator.plugins)

    It seems that the newly installed in Firefox 4 plugins do not appear in this table.

    I restarted Firefox, and they appear in the Firefox Add-ons Manager, but not in the navigator.plugins array.

    I know Firebug works because I used it to show me the contents of window.plugins.

    (In addition, you can even see that your script does not pick up Firebug when you got my list of plugins automatically to fill the field 'Installed Plugins' in this post.)

    I think that the plugins installed via an XPI file as an extension should always appear on the topic: plugins page. I'm using Linux and this is how to install the plugin Silverlight (Moonlight).
