BIOS does not see the drive

I have a laptop Inspiron 6400 which continually blue screens with Memory_management stop code 1.  I am able to boot from a Linux CD without problem.  The Dell diagnostics are all successful except the one HARD drive.  The BIOS executes engines a A015 and A017 is later, but I'm not able to start long enough to install it.

The old HDD shows SMART errors when loading on another PC so I cloned it on a new disc.  Both are Hitachi 5400, the old model a 120 GB the new 250GB.

How can I get the BIOS to see the drive?  I have restored the image of the old drive to the new, with a signature of disk and without.  Dell support application there is no locking BIOS goes on and any SATA drive will do.

Thank you.

Due to the presence of a Media Direct partition on the original disc, you can't clone the entire disk.  For the reason and how to work around it, see below.

  • BIOS does not see the hard drive

    For my Presario 6620DK, I bought a Western Digital 160 GB PATA HARD drive, which I want to install instead of the original Samsung SV0602H 60 GB ATA-100.

    Unfortunately, bios does not see the new HD. If I'm on the old hard drive, it is recognized by the bios.

    I have the jumper in the right position for Cable Select.

    What do I have to get new HD work?

    Hi, Arne:

    There is the outside possiblilty of the drive is bad.

    You have another PC, you can test it in?

    You have a 120 GB of HARD drive, you can test in the PC?

    If she sees the 120 GB HARD drive and not 160 GB HARD drive, then you have your answer.

  • Scanjet5370C Windows 7 Pro does not see the driver!

    I try to add the scanner Scanjet5370C of my windows XP computer to my new Windows 7 Professional. I downloaded the software from the HP site and restarted the computer. It says device has no driver. I pilot Nations United installed tried to reinstall still not see it. Anyone have an idea what is wrong here?

    Windows Update has not even the driver for this scanner.

    Help!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Marcus25,

    Sorry to inform you, the Scanjet 5370c is not supported on Windows 7:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03403550

    The driver listed on the HP site is intended for a different model (Scanjet 5590) and seems to be wrongly pposted for your scanner.

    I reported this problem to get this fixed...

    Altthough it is not officially supported, try the of VueScan 3rd party application which seems to support your scanner wthout you had to install the drivers on the computer:

Insyde H20 BIOs version 1.23 doesn't even include all the parameters hhd or watch any hhd not at all on the computer. This laptop just stopped one day of work. so far, I came with: (1) BIOS corrupted. (2) SATA driver missing or corrupt; (3) controller on the MOBO bad hhd; or (4) hhd itself bad.

    He does not turn upward, and very hot and its spin accelerates sometimes at a very fast pace. HHD SMART and other tests have failed (no hhd). So the hhd is certainly not detected. I need to know why and what to do about this.

  • Satellite P25 - DVD-R/RW does not work, the reader does not see the drive

    I have a P25-S609 player gave me problems since it was a new computer. He totally went out then, I replaced the Multi-lecteur with a new FW UJ - 811 t and the thing still does not.
    DVD-RAM fuction is has never worked. I tried different disc and now the new drive.

    I am really disgusted.
    Help!

    Hello buddy

    > the player gave me problems since it was a new computer
    Can you please tell me how old is this model of laptop? It takes about 5 years now. And after a long period of time, you come to the conclusion to exchange the optical disk drive. Strange!

    Anyway have you checked the compatibility with the FW UJ-811 t? the assignment of PIN on all optical disk drives is not the same.

    In any case for DVD - RAM features, you must install driver DVD-RAM. I ve used a long time ago and DVD-RAM P20 worked very well.

    I put t know if the same is available for the models of laptop computers in the United States but check it please United States support page under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modSel.jsp

    Good luck!

    I have a Pavilion P6142p that won't start.  I have reset the CMOS and get into the BIOS but no disks are recognized, even though I can feel/hear the rotation of the hard drive.  It is rather a motherboard problem or a low power problem.

  • Satellite A30 PSA30E - BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive

    Hi all
    I have a Satellite A30 (PSA30E) and I start the computer. When I enter the BIOS it does not recognize the hard drive.
    Does anyone no what I can do?
    Is it possible to restore the BIOS?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You replaced the HARD drive by a new one or the BIOS don't recognize the old HDD?

    Usually if the laptop is not able to start and that the BIOS does not see the old HDD then I guess that the HARD drive is faulty.
    If the BIOS doesn't recognize the inserted new HARD drive and then either you ve bought is not compatible, or the size of the HARD drive is just too big.

    Please provide more info. You see error messages?

  • BIOS Inspiron 2305 does not detect the drive in ahci mode

    The hard drive in my Inspiron one 2305 crushed and I tried to install a 500 GB Seagate Barracuda drive.

    The Bios does not detect the drive. I noticed that the SATA in the BIOS mode option has been put on AHCI. I changed the ATA mode and the BIOS has detected the drive.

    However when I try to install a clean version of Windows 7 (Dell OEM disc), to halfway to the installation Setup will fail. I noticed that the reason why it will fail, is that the installation process now does not see the hard drive.

    Can someone tell me what steps to take to do the installation?

    theFlash1932 and natacuk4

    Although I was not able to swap the Sata cables as natacuk4 suggested; It looks like just unplug and reinstallation of cables Sata what it did the trick!

    I was able to boot the system several times and it seems that everything works fine.

    Thank you guys for helping me solve this problem!

    If this does not work, I would say that the drive controller in the motherboard is dead.

  • Windows 8 does not see the hard drive on the Satellite A200

    Windows 8 does not see the hard drive on the A200.
    How to install it?

    S strange Windows 8 should already contain the HARD drive controller driver to recognize the HARD drive during installation.
    The HARD drive is visible in the BIOS?

    Do you use the original disc from Microsoft of Windows 8?

    Have a lenovo t60 disk opportunity was wiped out when trying to install XP Pro, I get message windows does not see the hard drive, but he sees the laptop.

    If its SATA you need SATA drivers to install. Since the XP CD doesn't have the SATA drivers on it

    Unless you disable the AHCI in the BIOS. Or their wake.

    Or get the SATA drivers. Check out them on diskette, press F6 during installation and then add them.

    Enter the BIOS by pressing F10 at startup. If you have the option of Bios Setup to disable the native sata mode, XP will install without problem, no sata driver needed. It will be on the tab of the System Configuration.


    If you do not have the setting in the Bios, it's the driver sata for your machine:
