• HP envy Phoenix: win 7 does not start with connected external hard drive

  I have a desktop HP Envy Phoenix with i7 chip and an SSD for the OS.  If I connect via USB external drive of 3 TB WD for the backup of the system does not start while it is attached.  The pc seems to be trying to boot from the outside, can't find the OS and does not start.  It will start fine with small external drives connected.  It is the size of the disk? Is there a way to fix this?

  Hello

  The WD drives seem to pose problems of my potential.  I have used other brands such as Seagate and Hitachi without running into problems with external USB drives causing the system to boot.  Maybe it's the USB adapter that I use which does not cause starting problems.

  @tpetras

  I used the adapter HP USB 3, which uses drivers NEC or TI and has never had a problem starting via a USB external (non - WD) readers.

• Satellite 1800-712 does not start with the new HARD drive

  Hello world.

  I am currently trying to install a new HARD drive in my notebook of 1800-712.
  I'm having a few trubbles as my Satellite won't start with my new HARD drive.

  I upgraded my BIOS to the latest version.
  The new HARD drive is a 40 GB Samsung.

  Any suggestions on what I need to do to make it all works?

  THX, Philippe

  Hello

  This device was shipped with 20 GB HARD drive.
  You again is 40 GB.
  I guess that the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive because of the size.

• Laptop running Windows 7 does not start if the external hard drive is connected

  I know what is already on a thread, but here it is again (i.e. thread became uncontrollable anyway and did not offer me solutions). I have an ASUS K53S laptop computer Series and use it as a desktop PC. It sits on my desk and never move, I plugged my larger screen, a keyboard and mouse, printer and external hard drive that I keep all my information on i rarely save to local disk. These things represent more than ports USB to the laptop, I have a hub 4 ports on there also. It is just background information; I mean, the laptop is a must.

  Here's the problem: when I start, as I do every morning, I used to see ASUS inspire Innovation - first of all, persistent Perfection for about 1 second, then the laptop will just get on the job and complete its start-up in about a minute (including login). Which was very good until a few days ago when things started slows down a bit, then I rebooted as I always used to with my Windows XP tour. All closed but return is reactivated and it hung on the opening screen of ASUS and show no signs of getting further. I went outside and continued on another work that does not need a computer, thinking that if I ignored it it would be bit go further, but I came back hours later to find that it is always locked.
  Well after a little, I took the plug my external hard drive, and he continued to start where he left off, like nothing had happened.
  This settled this possibility, but before that, I had established a thing; I need to connect my external hard drive before starting, otherwise it wouldn't connect properly.
  When I managed to finally get both going at the same time (Yes, after some persistence, he recognized the drive but I still would like a solution to this when it exists), I looked at the hard drive and all my files are corrupted or something. photos are not valid, some files that I know to have files in appear them as empty and I can't make any sense at all. Is there someone out there who has had this problem before and fixed, and if so, how?
  My external hard drive is a Seagate 1 TB, if it helps.
  I really want an answer to this, I have data on that disc that I need and I'm not.

  If the problem affects only one PC it says its something specific to this PC.

  Is there traces of yellow warning in Device Manager?

  At whatever it is updated / installed on this PC before this problem, or run a maintenance utility?

  If there is no warning of the Device Manager, then if you perform a clean boot PC http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 NB this isn't the manual method the Fixit which helps?

• SMU 8108 does not start with the new hard drive

  Hello

  I am currently using SMU 8108 with SMU-1062 q.

  The previous record was borken, so I had to install a new hard drive.

  The new hard drive is fommatted as NTFS format, and it is currently mounted on 8108.

  Unfortunately, I don't have recovery disk available to the general public so I am trying to install Windows 7 on a blank hard drive.

  When you start, the LED OK PWK light is all the time, orange DRIVE LED turns on for a few seconds only when I turn on the switch.

  LabVIEW RT switches are all off, I cleared CMOS several times to the Board of Directors, but the screen does not show anything.

  I tried to use my DVI monitor with any other device as well, and it worked, so there is no problem with the monitor.

  In addition, I tried to go in window safe mode by pressing F8 or Del it didn't work, so I can't see anything on the screen when his kick upward.

  I tried to put a lot of information I can it will be very appreciated if you can help me with this problem please.

  You said that you can't in Windows safe mode, you have installed Windows on the hard drive?  Are you able to get into the BIOS of the controller?

  If you are not able to access the BIOS for the controller, it may be due to bad RAM.  If you are uncomfortable installing RAM and you have a few extra laptop RAM of the same type (I think it's the DDR3 for your controller) laying around, you can try to replace the RAM.

  Was your hard drive damaged through certain events, or it just stop working?

• Computer does not start with the new video card

  Hello

  I have hp pavilion 500-277cb and I love it, but it won't work with my new video card

  The video card is
  Sapphire ATI over-pants 2460

  I heard 6 beeps and I turned off safe and active start legacy. It does not beep, but it is not start either, just black screen.

  It seems to me to have the latest version of the bios and windows 8

  What can I do else?

  Thank you very much

  Best,

  Korhan

  Hi JM,

  Did you remove the Intel HD graphics drivers prior to installing the ATI graphics card?

  Your PC comes with one of the following built-in Intel graphics drivers:

  • Graphics Intel HD 4400 (GT2)

• TS430 does not start with connected USB drive?

  I'm upgrading to a TS430 where I could plug the USB and restart without problems, after upgrading to the TS440 is more an option so if I want to leave a disc in to make backups that will simply not work...

  I tried updating to the latest version of the BIOS no luck, the TS140 seems to have the same problem.

  http://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/ThinkServer-towers/TS140-will-not-boot-with-external-HDD-attached/TD-p/1...

  Simply delayed! I tried the USB keys, WD drive and disk Seagate, and USB HD Caddy all stop to start!

  Note of the moderator; issue published; T430 was t440

• computer a824n of office doesn't start with an external hard drive 2T connected.

  My HP Pavilion a824n desktop computer won't start with my new external hard drive 2T connected via a USB port.  The computer stops on the first screen, which I think is the Intel screen, with options for press ESC, F1, F10.  But these keys do nothing.  The only way out is to press the power button until the computer turns off.

  If I disconnect the external drive before turning the power on, the computer starts normally, the internal hard drive.  After that, I can connect from the outside and it works correctly, so I don't think that there is a defect in it.

  I can get into the screen of the BIOS settings to start with the external drive disconnected and by pressing the F8 key.  But the BIOS shows adequate priority, with the hard drive screen internal first, second DVD, third CD.  The internal hard drive is correctly identified by the model number and the new external drive is not at all (because I started without the connected external.)

  My guess is that when I start with connected externally, BIOS thinks it's the hard drive, it is supposed to boot from.  How can I get the machine to boot from the internal drive?

  Your guess is correct. The hard part is that I'm not sure of an exact solution I've seen this be something difficult to solve.

  Have you tried to update the firmware of an external drive?

  Have you updated your PC BIOS? If you are still running XP, I think that it is the update to the BIOS of your PC:

• My computer does not start a player - A does not exist and does not recognize my hard drive.

  My computer does not start. I tried to solve a problem with the disappearance of CD and DVD ROM drives, I unplugged then replugged cables connecting readers to the motherboard and when I rebooted, it told me to insert a bootable media in the floppy drive. I don't have a floppy drive. Before I tried to repair CDs and DVDs, my directory showed an A/floppy disk, because it seemed weird, yet benign, I don't think many, until my BIOS could not find my hard drive. It offers my USB drives and there is no such thing as a floppy drive to boot from. Help?

  If the drive is not detected in the bios, and I guess you actually mean the bios screen, then the drive has failed or the motherboard connections has a problem.

  Once in the bios screen try to reset for fail safe defaults, reboot, see if that makes a difference for the drive detected in bios
