• Boot failure: REM could not detect 2 hard drives

  Hello. I bought a HP Pavilion G6 series laptop (LX273EA #ABU) last year and he stopped to load correctly. When I click on "Repair (recommended)" I get an error messaqe saying "REM could not detect 2 hard drives. I tried to start in safe mode and it will not work.

  You are welcome Michaelmcd85.

  The 305 error indicates that the hard drive has failed. You will need to replace the hard drive.

  This is an easy repair so I'll give you the information you need to fix yourself. It's your interview Guide &. It contains information on how to disassemble the laptop. The guide also contains information that will allow you to choose a replacement hard drive.

  If you do not want to repair the laptop you can contact HP Support directly to the 1-800-4474-6836 if you are in the USA / Canada. If you are in another country, you must first visit HP's Support around the world to find the coordinates for your region.

  I hope this information is useful.

• Dell Vostro 430 sometimes breaks down and does not find the hard drive in the bios

  So I have this old - ish Dell Vostro 430, intel cpu, windows 7 hard disk sata 250 GB, 4 GB of ram.

  Update BIOS to the latest version 2.4.0

  In certain exceptional circumstances, this PC sometimes crashes in windows, it is restarted, and then when he comes back it does not find the hard drive as a gift. He is not seen in the bios and does not start.

  To fix, I have to unplug the power cable, wait a few seconds, plug in, reboot the computer and it starts normally, load windows and everything.

  So far, I have tried to paginate on another hard disk, reinstall the Windows operating system from scratch, and same thing happens from time to time.

  It is difficult to find the cause of the problem, because this happens very rarely.

  Sometimes, when the pc is turned on for the first time in the morning, the hard drive is not found by the bios and we reappear at the same trick (disconnect the power cable) to take him back.

  When it crashes when using inside Windows, it seems that the reason is the computer can't find the hard drive.

  Such computer is out of warranty.

  It would be nice to just throw this computer because it is still fine for the work it has to do, + I have Windows and Office OEM license on it, as well as many other software that I have to reinstall etc.etc.

  No idea what I could troubleshoot?

  Maybe change the motherboard? How can I buy a new motherboard for an out of warranty Dell?

  While possibly keeping all the OEM licenses (Windows 7 and Office 2007).

  • Have you tried to replace the battery in the motherboard, if nothing else than to exclude it? CR2032, 3-volt lithium-ion, ~ $2 at discount stores. Do not forget to open the BIOS Setup and copy down all current settings first because remove battery BIOS resets the default values, which is maybe not correct for your specific system.
  • Have you tried another SATA data cable, or reinstall the existing at both ends?
  • Have you reinstall RAM and PCI card in their slots?
  • Have you used canned air to blow out the dust?
  • Maybe a power supply problem... ? If insufficient voltage, he could not start the HARD drive quite fast at startup, or quick enough after your option settings to be able to turn the HARD drive off when it is not accessed, what may cause this error message 'not found '.
  • If you use a power strip or surge protector, have you deleted and the PC connected directly to a wall jack?

  If it is a motherboard defective and you replace it with another jury of Vostro 430, you shouldn't have any problems with Windows or Office licenses. Assuming you are using Windows Dell reinstall for exact same version of Windows drive that was installed at the factory, it should not even ask the product key, if you must reinstall Windows on the HARD drive. But even if she asks, there should be a sticker somewhere on the PC with your unique product key so you can enter if the installer made the request.

  and make sure you have the Office product key too...

• 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

• Terminal Airport express "could not extend network" after working fine for a week

  I bought an express airport last weekend and got on the rise and working on the 2nd floor of my house without any problem.  I had problems with reception shotty in my son, which is the furthest from our extreme airport room.  On Wednesday night, trying to connect to the woman in his room I continued loss of reception and so when I looked at my express it's orange flashing.  Pulled up to the airport utility and it says that the connection was excellent, but that the airport base station could not extend the wireless network.  The only thing I can think is that I used my iphone to listen to music through my apple tv the same day and I'm not sure if that set something off somehow. I have the express several times using the soft/hard factory redefined and methods without success.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  BTW, I created this as an extended network. Try to read and understand any bypass but do not know if this is the right way to go

• laptop will not allow new hard drive

  Laptop HP 2000-2b19WM will not again take hard drive, no parameters in Bios to allow to change the SATA or IDE drives I activated the legacy... support any help would be appreciated...

  OK, that makes sense. Starting with Windows 8 key Code is built into the BIOS. If you could get an OEM of Windows 8 drive you can install it and it just works (activate) without needing a key Code.

  And if she has had 10 Windows activated on this subject, you can reinstall Windows own 10 and it will activate only as soon as it is connected to the internet.

• Windows CD can not find installed hard drives

  I have a PC that has windows XP installed and worked well and I have DSL so I kept it updated. It has been updated for the updates. It was a month that it seemed hung on a windows update and I've finally powered down to exit the update mode. After that, he would finally in XP but would not other that the busy when an icon is clicked. I decided to reload XP using the same CD I used originally when I built PC. It will load the drivers to install XP, but when installing windows is selected it says no hard drives found. When booting 2 HARD disks are displayed, but are not detected when you look in the BIOS. I've tried changes in the BIOS as auto detect HDD including default BIOS and not go. I remembered to change a partition using Partition magic 8.0 and decided that might be the problem, so I started in the magic of partition and formatted part C of the HDD in NTFS, but the results are the same. Any suggestion is appreciated. TIA

  Do you mean you see a message like this?

  Setup did not find any hard drives installed in your computer. Make sure that the hard drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that any hardware configuration of the drives is correct. This may involve a diagnosis provided by the manufacturer or the installer running. Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3.

  If the disks are not appearing in BIOS, it seems unlikely that XP will be able to see them no more.

  Describe the best you can, your hard disk configuration...  IDE, SATA, SCSI, RAID configurations...

  You build the hardware yourself or is it a system store bought?

  Are you able to determine when the system turns on, the brand and model of your motherboard and the BIOS it is running?

  Without more information, I can only offers these general reflections where to search:

  When you see a message like this, obviously the XP installation starts to load, but then when the installation program needs to go out and find your hard drive is not find the hard drive.  It means not necessarily your hard drive is defective and if it worked before, it's probably still plugged.  It simply means that the installation of XP is not able to find it.

  Looks like you need enter the BIOS on your system by pressing the 'Delete', F2, F10 or F12 key (what the key is good for your system), find the section where the types of hard disks and hard disk interfaces are configured and temporarily change the setting so the XP installation is able to find the hard drive.

  Where to find the accommodation and how to change depends on your system manufacturer and the version of the BIOS, so you end up having to look at her.  If you know your system brand and model, we can probably help you find a job.

  You must locate and change the interface mode to your hard drive in the BIOS so that when installing XP loading, it will be able to locate the hard drive.

  Before making adjustments, you should take note of what are the current BIOS settings, so you can change when you are finished.

  The adjustment varies so here are some examples that I have accumulated:

  The adjustment is done in the BIOS and could be in Integrated Peripherals, Configuration of SATA, SATA Mode device.  After you make the changes, save them and restart your XP installation program.

  If you find that the mode is set on the RAID/SATA mode, change the IDE mode.

  If you find that the mode is set to AHCI, change the ATA mode.

  If you find that the mode is set to AHCI emulation Mode, change the IDE emulation mode.

  If you find that the mode is set to SATA, SATA mode off or change the ATA mode.

  If you find that the mode is set to SATA Native Mode, disable the native SATA Mode.

  If you find that the mode is set on AHCI/RAID Autodetect, change the combination mode.

  If find you the setting that works for you, I would like to know what it is so I can add it to my notes.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

• Used to boot Windows - does not recognize the hard drive

  Hello. I had my computer laptop vostro dell for 5 years, and I've never had a problem. A few weeks ago, I was starting, and I got the blue screen of death. I had the same thing when I rebooted. I bought a SATA dock for recover my files, so I could format it and start from scratch. However, the dock does not detect my HARD drive, although I hear the disc running. I tried to connect a Dell Latitude docking station to transfer the files, but the Latitude does not recognize my HDD ether. Vostro runs XP Home Edition and Zorin OS, Latitude anime XP Pro. HHD in question is a 120 GB Western Digital Scorpio for drinking devices. Help, please.

  You boot from the disk and choose "Try without Unbuntu and change to your computer"?. Honestly, it looks that you have installed. In addition, using raid with Windows Xp support?

  If you have chosen to 'Try' Unbuntu I recommend now you run chkdsk /r from the recovery console. The problem is not with the hard drive probably, but with the file system.

  Download WIndows Xp Recovery Console from HERE. Save the file to your desktop. You will need to burn the iso image to a blank cd using the same way you did to the image ISO of Unbuntu ImgBurn. Although the instructions below refer to a Windows disk, the disk from the Recovery Console that you create will do the same.

  1. Insert the Windows XP CD in your CD-ROM drive and restart your computer. If you are prompted, select any options needed to start (boot) on the CD.
    
  2. when the text portion of Setup begins, follow the prompts. Select the repair or recovery option by pressing R.
    
  3. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot system, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
    
  4. When you are prompted, type the administrator password. If you have not set a password for the account admin simply press on enter
    
  5. at the command prompt, type chkdsk/r > press ENTER. (Note: there is a space between the slash and the letter k).
    
  6. at the end of the output of scan type > press ENTER.
    
  7 restart your computer.

• not replacing the hard drive on a computer hp laptop with a ssd invalid warranty or care pkg?

  Could not find this info anywhere.

  I do not see why it would invalidate the it. Just keep the original hard drive to the warranty period and after that do what you want. You can (I guess) increase the RAM or HARD drive under warranty (using products listed under reference numbers in service manuals) so why not swap a hard drive for an ssd? However, the guarantee only covers failures related to the EHR. It won't have a negative impact on the laptop, but I wouldn't call HP customer care first.

• 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?
