Can't see the new hard drive on my Satellite Pro 6100

I bought a new Toshiba 40 GB hard drive for my Satellite Pro 6100.
I installed it in the Bay, but it is not recognized in the BIOS, or when I try to reinstall using the recovery disk!
Bios recognize that there are in the car, even if it is not formatted?
I'm missing something?

Thanks in advance

Neil

It should work!

The reader should also be recognized that even he is not formatted...

3 things you can do:
At the start you can go in bootmenu and check if the drive is recognized on the 1st controller.
If this is not the case, check the configuration of the drive (master, slave, CSEL).

If this is not enough to check the toshiba support website and download the latest version of the bios (probably you already have, check as mentioned above)

If this does not work your new drive (or worse: your controller) could be faulty. If the reader of the Moose still work on your laptop, check the 40 GB drive to another laptop or PC with adapter ATA connection normal.

  • Portege Z830 - where can I get the new HARD drive

    Hello

    I have problem with my toshiba portege z830 ultrabook.
    My HARD drive died, and I don't know where I can get the new HARD drive.

    I've got guaranteed but I am forgotten registered my cell phone before when I went for repairs not authorized, because my first problem was with the motherboard.

    This motherboard has been replaced for new ones.
    If my warranty is maybe cancelled.

    Well, that's my problem to another.

    What should I do?
    Please help me. I am available to do anything.

    Hello

    I think that you should first check if your warranty is still valid.
    This can be checked on Toshiba Unitdetails page:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/unitdetails/

    Where the warranty is valid, get in touch with maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country for replacement.

    But as far as I know the Portege Z830 was equipped with an mSATA SSD drive.
    This means that the laptop doesn't support HDD 2.5 common but requires special mSATA SSD drive module.

    In case your warranty is not valid, you will pay for a new mSATA module.
    Replacement should do a service provider authorized Toshiba as well because this replacement is a little tricky on this model of laptop.

  • HP 6310y can't get the new hard drive to load windows 7

    model 6310y - Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit

    My desktop PC has stopped working.  I took it to the local computer store and they said it was the HD.  I bought the new hard drive and tried to install the retail of Windows 7 home premium 64-bit OS.  I got an error Code 0 x 80070002.

    I called HP support... told me that I needed their brand of recovery disks because the motherboard or BIOS would not allow me to install Windows 7 on new replacement HD disks without having their (HP).  So I ordered their... $17

    I bought another new HD and tried to install Windows 7 OS with HP recovery disks.  This time got the 0xe0ef000e error Code.

    I have to mention every time trying to install OS on new replacement HD... He got about 8 to 12 minute installation before receiving error messages.

    I called HP support... this time said that the retail version of Windows 7 OS must have worked and that I didn't need the HP recovery discs brand new replacement HD installation.   They offered me to pay $199 and send my office to fix inclusive it... all.

    Very confused.  I never had something like this before... I had several hard drives die over the years and have replaced the myself and installed all of the software including myself OS without any problem like this.

    Memory retrieves okay when using the diagnostic f9 key... She showed problems with HD during one of my many attempts of diagnostics

    Not sure if it's a bad mother or the video card integrated... do not know how to find either... since I can not the PC market

    It will start at Blue HP screen & most of the time allow me to enter in the screens f9, f10 or ESC.

    Don't know if its worth paying $200 to fix this or go and buy a new one for about the same price.

    any suggestion or help is appreciated

    Thank you

    I had to send it back to HP.  It is a bad motherboard.  They dropped the price a bit to replace the motherboard.  I don't remember how much they charged me.   I'm guessing around $200 - $300

  • can not get the new hard drive to work in the Pavilion ze4805us laptop

    have an HP pavilion ze4805us laptop which had a total hard drive failure... recovery disks were lost in a fire... replaced the hard drive with a Western Digital 250 GB drive... computer recognizes the drive, but with only 137 GB... impossible to obtain the Windows Millennium disk to install... I have it get the PXE - E61 error code... have looked for answers and tried a few suggestions to fix the error code, but no luck so far... would like to throw this laptop and runs again, it was so nice all in operation. Can someone help me with this? Thanks to all in advance... rrcar6

    At the level of the BIOS, HARD drive should show the full capacity regardless of the distribution, but it will be limited based on what the current logical block installed the BIOS supports.  For example, the 250 GB HDD Needs LBA 48 bit to be recognized by the BIOS in its entirety.  Western Digital only provides downloads of software and support going back to Windows XP.  Windows Millennium Edition is not able to recognize the full capacity of the drive.  Finding drivers compatible with Windows ME is perhaps another challenge that XP uses a different architecture than Windows ME done.

    It seems that this laptop is the same time that the books mentioned in this thread.  Response from JackShack gives the best explanation as to why he shows quite different in the BIOS.  It has been many years, but I do not remember that the capacity of the HARD disk had exceeded what the BIOS at the time supported resulting in the 137 GB limit displayed in the BIOS.  This section of Western Digital shows that this problem is related to the operating system or BIOS supporting however, this should not prevent Windows to install correctly.

    I'm sure it's already done, as it was not a new BIOS since 2004, but guarantee the newest BIOS is installed.  Logical block address 48 bits, necessary for the larger disks (larger for the time) was released in 2003.  The 2004 related BIOS earlier than probably took supported LBA.  What is the current version of BIOS?

    What is the exact message that you get when you try to install Windows Millennium Edition?

  • HP G71-329WM: driver Sata necessary for the installation CD of Windows to see the new hard drive

    I have my own Windows 7 disk that can be used to install a lean and clean the operating system, however, it seems that the hard drive is not recognized without a sata driver any. I had to do this once with an HP laptop so that the Windows Setup CD see the hard drive. Unfortunately, I do not see such a driver downloads available for this laptop model. Can make you a suggestion on where I can find this driver?

    Hello:

    With the material of your laptop, you should not need the driver but here is the link for those that you need...

    The first file is for 32-bit and one for 64-bit.

    https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=18668&lang=eng

    To install the driver, download and uncompress the files that you need a USB FlashDrive without all records.

    With the flash player and the installation of W7 media connected to the computer, boot from the installation of W7 media.

    After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

    You should now see the storage driver files listed.

    If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

    Follow the prompts and I hope, will install W7.

    Abrams,

    That's all I can help you.  These instructions are based on the Perc 5 / i controller, which I think you have on our system.  You have not specified the server so I just assumed that this is so.

    1. unscrew the hot spare that you just made.  Follow this link from Dell.
    http://support.Dell.com/support/eDOCS/storage/RAID/PERC5/en/UG/HTML/chapterh.htm#wp1061343

    2 follow the link for the installation of virtual disks - http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/storage/RAID/PERC5/en/UG/HTML/chapterh.htm#wp1069357

    This link has three steps to void, skip the step on "spare parts of designate hot."
    a. create the virtual disks and select virtual disk options.   -Online steps to create another disk group and add the new disk to the disk group.
    (b) designate the drives hot spares (optional). =>, YOU CAN SKIP THIS STEP
    c. initialize virtual disks. -online must do.  just do not initialize the incorrect disk.

    After the step #2 c, you should be able to access the drive in ESXi or command-line (list of nmp esxcli devices).

    And no, you cannot add this manaully until do you step #2 above which is to define the disk group, creating virtual disks and initialize the virtual disk.

    Good luck.

  • Satellite M45 - does not start after restoration on the new HARD drive

    I installed a new PATA 250 GB HDD on my pc. The BIOS is configured to boot from CD/DVD. Toshiba Recovery disk started cold, start follow-up statement to load a new system on the HARD drive. He made a (quick) format on the HARD drive, spent 50 minutes, copy the files from the CD to the new HARD drive. Followed the instructions to remove the CD and reboot the pc. Did. I get the Toshiba homepage for 2-3 seconds, and then I get a white screen with a white block cursor in the upper corner of the LH of the screen. Looks like it does not find the block on the HARD disk?
    The procedure of collection 3 times with the same results. Checked the BIOS to check that it is configured to boot from the HARD disk after installation.

    The recovery CD is blank. Never used because I bought the PC (3.5 years). Put the new HARD drive in a USB enclosure and formatted with Windows, tried again with the same result? Put the old HDD, PC starts and works very well. Put the live CD Knoppix and boot from that, works very well. See the new HARD drive.

    Thus, any suggestions are appreciated. The recovery CD Toshiba is defective? In any case to test?

    Thank you
    -J

    Hello

    Sounds like a problem with the recovery disk or the new HARD disk if your computer starts up fine with the old HARD drive...

    In your case before you start a lengthy discussion, you should try a Microsoft Windows disk to install Windows. If he work it seems that only the recovery disk is defective.

    Otherwise, the HARD disk must be defective. Maybe a bad sector or something else

    Hello!

    You will need to use a full copy of Windows XP.  Should be a sticker with the product key on the side of your desk or below if it is a laptop.

    Once you have this drive, you can reinstall Windows XP.  After you have installed all the software and drivers, you will be able to transfer all your data to the new HARD drive.

    If you don't have a copy of Windows XP, you can probably get a copy of the recovery from the manufacturing of computer media.  Just to provide the model and serial number and they should sent it.

  • How can I move the old hard drive to new programs.

    I tried to upgrade Windows 2000 Pro, XP Pro on my hard drive. XP would install, but would break to the BSOD with a STOP of the F4 code. BCupdate2 says that the startup code is up to date. NTDLR and boot.ini and NTDETECT.COM are present on the old hard drive. After 2 days of searching and trying different solutions, I bought a new hard drive and installed XP Pro top. System is now running. I want to make my programs from the old hard drive to the new hard disk as well as shortcuts, system settings, user accounts, and user data. I want the new HDD to resemble the old hard disk would look like had XP installed successfully. I have a utility provided with the hard drive, but it says it will take the BONES of the old drive and put it on the new drive that would make my non-operational system. Any help? The history of the old drive is 64 XP was installed originally, but some of my programs wouldn't not below so I installed Windows 2000 Pro. Which was great for several years, but the new versions of the software I use has stopped running less than 2000.

    I'm sorry, but it is not possible to move programs from one operating system to another.  You must reinstall the programs.

    Your data files must be in the Documents and Settings\ folder from the old hard drive and you can copy them to the folder on the Windows XP system.
