BIOS v3 - 772 G watch 2nd disc but not Windows 8.1

Hello world

Just got a new SSD to use as the startup disk for my my V3 - 772G.  BIOS recognizes correctly the SSD model and serial number, but the SSD does not appear in management records or Device Manager.  Any ideas on how what to do?

Thanks in advance.

Well... it took a day and a half of messing around, but I have a solution.

First of all, here is the short version without all the false starts and dead ends.

I put the new SSD in a USB 2.0 - SATA1 box.  After that, Windows disk management may recognize the SSD I quick formatted and checked for errors, of which there is none.  Not wanting to wait for the slow external connection, I put the SSD in the 2nd Bay of V3.  I downloaded Mini Partition Wizard tool and used to shrink the C: partition on the HARD drive to a size that would go on the SSD (including all collection and other partitions).  I then downloaded Macrium reflect free and used to create a key USB bootable with himself and Windows PE is installed.  Reboot with F12 to choose the USB boot, upward is a window with Macrium showing the disk of 1 TB and the SSD.  Cloned Macrium then the SSD HARD drive.  I then removed the two discs, left for the SSD HARD drive mounting bracket and then screwed the SSD into the first drive Bay.  Restart and celebrate with a beer.

In the long version...

I started by unplugging the adapter, remove the battery and to undo the 9 screws on the lower cover of the V3.  Instead to completely remove the screws, I just lifted the cover with the screws in their hole and set it aside.  Given that the screws do not seem to have the same length, this avoids having to follow that screw goes in which hole.  Then I placed the Toshiba 256 GB SSD Q series in the second drive bay, and he slipped into the SATA connector.  Without a spare fixing bracket, I used a rubber band around the SSD to prevent it from sliding around the Bay.  In hindsight, it was not necessary given that the V3 don't would not travel during cloning and the SSD would permanently in this Bay.

After replacing the cover, screws, battery, plug in the adapter, reboot and start-up of Windows disk, to my dismay Windows Management could not recognize it.  Even more curious, a reboot with F2 showed that the bios could see the SSD with original 1 TB drive.  I was almost sure that disk management would see the SSD if I could format it.  Given that the laptop does not come with a Windows disc, I looked up the means to download or create one I knew that it is always an option to format a drive putting a top BONE.  I checked again and there is no option in the bios to format the drive.  Google search showed me that Microsoft makes it nearly impossible to create a disc of Windows for any OEM of Windows and that the new UEFI bios interfaces do not formatting at the bit level.  So I was forced to shut down, disconnect, de-batterie and open the lower cover to get out the SSD drive.  The rubber band came out too.

After reassembling the V3, I then put the new SSD in a 2.0 - SATA1 Nexstar USB box I used once to migrate an old Toshiba Portege M400 tablet PC SSD.  Once the speaker has been connected to one of the USB 3.0 and the V3 restarted, Windows disk management may finally recognize the SSD as a removable USB drive.  I quickly formatted the SSD drive and checked for errors, which there was not.  The error checking, took a while, so I remembered the many hours that it took to migrate this ancient tablet.  Not wanting to wait for the slow connection during the cloning process, I closed and open the V3 still once, back the SSD into the 2nd Bay, without the elastic.  The SSD has been visible to disk to restart management so that I could start the actual cloning.  Yay!

I downloaded Mini Partition Wizard tool and used to shrink the C: partition on the HARD drive to a size that would go on the SSD (including all collection and other partitions).  I then downloaded Macrium reflect free and used to create a Windows PE boot on a spare USB drive.  That USB drive had Windows PE and Macrium installed on it, even if you wouldn't see it with Windows Explorer.  Reset with F12 to select the USB drive as boot drive, upward came Macrium showing the disk of 1 TB and the SSD.  It was a simple matter for Macrium clone SSD HARD drive.  I then stop, removed the two disks, left for the SSD HARD drive mounting bracket and then screwed the SSD into the first drive Bay.  Restart and celebrate with a beer.

  • 2nd disc is not not formatted/partitioned in vCAC 6 - What could this mean?

    When you generate the two servers in windows 2008 R2 R2 and 2012, the 2nd disc is added but not partitioned even if I submit with a drive letter and label. I have the comments vcac agent installed on the two models.

    A strange thing is that I woke up a Windows pop on the comments vcac agent. To get this to stop I went on the log service and unchecked "allow service to interact with desktop." The message has disappeared but I still don't know what the underlying issue was if anything.

    Thanks in advance.

    I received a workflow on how to do this from a friend. I'll try to put a blog on this subject soon.

  • iPad displays in iTunes but not Windows 7 computer menu

    I have an iPad 3rd Gen (Wi - Fi only) with iOS 9.3.5 and I just updated my iTunes to 12.5.1.21 64-bit.

    now, it will not be displayed in the windows for me transfer photos. but it appears in iTunes and I can see here, but I want to transfer pictures manually.

    in devices and printers, it is listed under Unspecified as Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. in Device Manager, it appears only as Apple Mobile Device USB Driver, and when I check the hardware ID, it is USB/VID_05AC & PID_12A4 & REV_0310.

    I uninstalled iTunes (and all the modules of Apple) and reinstalled, rebooted the iPad AND computer, tried stop and start the Apple Mobile Device service and MANUALLY install the driver in the folder files, as it says on the Apple site.

    am I missing something, or is iTunes 12 just broken?

    Hello darkflux88,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that your iPad is recognized by iTunes, but not by the Windows 7 system. I have three support articles that relate to your problem. The first is more relevant for the iPad being not recognized by iTunes, but also contains information for the Windows operating system. The other two relate more directly to Windows does not recognize is not the iPad.

  • 1 TB external hard drive works on XP but not Windows 7

    1 TB Toshiba external hard drive.

    It works on my laptop that runs Windows XP bot not on the laptop that is running Windows 7, if the hard disk works. It also works on Vista.

    My Seagate (320 GB) hard drive works on the Windows 7 laptop - so the USB ports are not defective.

    When I plug the hard 1 TB drive that it appears not on the Manager list of devices, or the title of the disk management, still green light from the disk hard flashes and lights up like it normally does when plugged into the laptop XP.

    I have read all the forums and tried the following: edited the Registery values for mass storage devices USB (deleted and lower filters);  Edited the "Usbstor" INF file as suggested check, the Toshiba site for any compatibility issues, and they have suggested that it is a problem of windows 7, given that the player works on other platforms.

    Because the disc is not visible in device etc Manager I can't try the other options.

    Any input would be appreciated

    I found the problem to be with the controller Toshiba uses on their external hard drives.

    I removed the hard drive Toshiba of the carcass, put it in an envelope of SeaGate (thus using a SeaGate controller) and it worked fine.

    To my knowledge there is no software around HD Ext Toshiba and W7 work. Take the HD out of the envelope, buy a cheap eSATA to USB connector & problem solved.

    mkuholr,
    When you say that you "tried other cd rom" do you mean you replaced the drive to CD or just tried another disc?  If you haven't tried another drive and it's something that you are able to do, I would say that.  It is possible that it could be hardware related.

    I would also say that you check that you do not have any type of infection on your system.  Get rid of malware Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  • Blu Ray player can not read the DVD. It can read CDs and Blu Ray discs, but not DVD.

    Recently, I lost my hard drive.  Dell sent me a new disk with the drivers that came with the computer.

    I just noticed that my Blu Ray player is no longer playing DVDs.  I don't know if the hard drive crash has nothing to do with it, or if it's a coincidence.

    Windows says I have the latest driver.

    The computer is a Dell XPS 8300.   Is the Blu Ray player: bd - re bh30n hl-dt-st.

    The player has not served almost at all.   I read that there are the eyes for the Blu Ray vs DVD, then maybe the DVD part has failed.

    I'm always suspect that miss me a piece of software or a changed value.

    Any ideas?

    For all of you, the poor souls who shared my problem on the internet, I got beyond that.   Even though all said I had the latest driver, I found someone who said that they had downloaded a newer driver form the LG site and it fixed the problem.   Well, BH30N wasn't a model # on the LG site, but I found here: http://www.firmwarehq.com/download_1703-file_BH30N-A103.zip.html Norton said it was OK, I clicked on the EXE file, he said that he had me upgrade from A101 to A103 and suggested that I reload.   Once I did, my Blu Ray player will read the DVD fine.

  • AirPort Express works fine with OSx but not Windows
