• No boot sector on hard drive internal?

  I got a Dell Latitude D610 with XP Professional pre-installed on a few years ago and it worked fine up until last month. I discovered that the hard drive crashed so I bought a new.

  After I installed the new hard drive, when I turn on the computer to reinstall the operating system, I get the error "no boot sector on hard drive internal no bootable devices - strike F1 to retry Reboot, F2 for Setup utility"

  Now, whenever I look in the BIOS, it is said that she read my hard drive. (40 GB HARD DRIVE) I know that the drive is empty and the OS installation disc has service pack 2 on it, but when I put the disc in I get the same error message. The drive, which I am using is a clean CD Windows XP Pro I had earlier.

  I'm guessing that because the HARD drive is perfectly clean, is it not a MBR hard disk. I don't know how to get the disc to run and the diagnosis says that everything else is fine.

  I am a student with a part-time job full time and cannot afford a new laptop or even an operating system for the moment. Could someone help me find a solution to this problem?

  OK, I solved the problem:

  -J' have torn the XP Pro CD Image and stored on this desktop computer.
  -J' mounted the ISO on my flash drive.
  -J' took my laptop HARD drive
  -On my laptop, I set the BIOS to boot from USB
  -I reconnected it the HARD drive while the computer has booted the OS Setup
  -J' reinstalled the operating system of the
  -Download the drivers on the Dell site and put on another flash drive
  -Install the drivers on my laptop

  Now, it works fine. Like everything new again. Daavee and THIS_IS_INSANE, you two are awesome! Thanks for the help. x]

  Hi Jose_luna47,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. When was the last time it was working fine?

  Method 1

  I suggest that you perform chkdsk analysis on the computer to check and fix the errors on the hard drive by using the recovery console.

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then you will need to check the settings in the basic input/output system (BIOS) and you need to contact the computer manufacturer for help with basic input/output system (BIOS).

  Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly.

• Windows 7 does not detect my external hard drive

  Window 7 is able to detect my external hard drive under devices and printers, it is able to detect the hard drive, and there is no problem for her.  but only shows no not my external hard drive under my computer icon so I can't drag files

  
  How can I find the hard drive and put the files?
  
  Thank you

  OK follow the instructions;

  • Click the windows icon
  • Right click on computer > then click on scabies
  • on the left, under storage, click Disk Management

  now the hard tip. You must identify which is your external hard drive. It should say something like disc 1 - online (if you have other removable things such as memory card readers may be something like disk5). DO NOT TOUCH DISK 0 (c) because it is your operating system and nothing change may / will kill the system.

  It doesn't have a letter from dirve allocated on the external drive then left and right click then click on change drive letter and paths.

  Assign a new letter perhaps something like L: as who should enter into conflict with what it is then ok the windows... it should now appear.

  Yet once just to reiterate do not assign c: or touch disk 0. you have been warned.

  Here is a link with pretty pictures to help you a bit

  The most difficult part is to find what is your hard drive. Good luck. If you're worried you can take a screenshot of the management of the computer and upload it to your skydrive. We would advise you that it is.

  Hope that helps...

• HARD drive internal not recognized by Device Manager.

  I've been trolling these forums for the last few days in search of some answers, but nothing seems to get close to my problem.

  First basic info. Dell Inspirion D630 laptop computer Windows XP Prof SP3. Hardware config: 120 GB drive HARD internal, DVD player, 2 GB of memory. Pretty basic configuration. No hardware changes have been made.

  Here's the senerio problem. Notebook PC starts without any problems, but while XP is loading all the services I get error that meet "Generic Host Process for Win32 services has encountered a problem and needs to close...". ', the error msg and the laptop is pretty useless at the moment (explorer, Task Manager, etc.) does not run. I then close the laptop and can start in "safe mode", but pass messages "the instruction at 001ba6ae tried to access memory at the location 000000, the memory could not be written" every few minutes. But I can access Explorer, Task Manager, etc.. Thought may have viruses or malicious and software ran Mcafee several times and came back clean everytime. Could not MalwareBytes to run, but was able to run GMER (it was suggested on the forums). There is no report on any specific malware, but it showed that several sectors on the HARD disk showed malware like behavior. But he also showed that he could not detect the hard drive (showed the HKLM...\CurrentControlSet\ info for the reader, he tried to find). So long story even longer, made a few inquiries via these forums as determined as SVCHOST. EXE was not while trying to run "winmgmt. Also discovered was that the Device Manager and Storage Manager does not show the Hard Drive AT ALL. They do not show the DVD player and if I install a USB they show, but they show that the Disk 0 in the lists. (If installed USB watch drive 0, another DVD wise shows disk 0). If I open Windows Explorer, it shows the drive c: hard, I can access all the files on the disk without problem. If I show the 'properties' for the reader, it indicates the correct used/unused space for the reader. If I click on the "Hardware" tab, the only one listed is the DVD player.

  So I know a bit what is the problem, I just do not know what to do to FIX IT. other that my last resort resort which would be to do a full clean install of windows. Any suggestions?

  Sorry for the long winded question, but I wanted to provide as much information as possible.

  See you soon.

• How to use the 2nd hard drive internal for storage?

  Hi, I am a newbie in all of this. I would use the 2nd internal hard drive of our mac mini server (end 2012) for storage (in fact, I'll things rsync from a remote server to here. but this is not the point here.). The thing is, I don't know how to access the 2nd internal hard drive and where to start. I did all of the following commands in the Terminal, but I don't really know what they mean, and what can I do with this information. I've been Googling but most are guides on how to install a 2nd hard drive etc. I hope that the information below is enough for someone to give me advice please?

• Backup hard drives internal and external to separate the partitions on an external drive of a second... ?

  I want to back up an internal hard drive (let's call it 'A') and (B) external drive using Time Machine. Both are 1 TB in size, so I bought a 2 TB external drive and created two partitions (C and D) on this subject, only to receive each backup. So:

  A = internal hard drive

  B = external drive (for "overflow" files)

  C = partition to external drive for backups of A

  D = partition to external drive for backups of B

  My question is, can I set up Time Machine so that A back up C, every time the 2 TB drive is connected, and B backup up to D whenever the two external drives are connected? I thought it would be possible, but at the opening of the Time Machine preferences and selecting D for the first time I get a message saying:

  "You want to stop backup up to 'C' and use"D"instead or back up at the same time?

  If you use the two, Time Machine will take turns backup up to "C" and "D". »

  I wonder if it would just be easier to return to a single partition on the hard disk of 2 TB and have the time machine to perform a backup of everything, that is, both A and B?

  Last question: I'm doing this to improve Yosemite to El Capitan. the operating system affect what I'm trying to get time Machine to do?

  Thank you!

  Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support

  I have a non-partitioned device TM backup of your data and your OS disk at once

  If in case you partition and drive "B" needs more than what is on the partition and drive 'A' don't you avoid warning.

  update of the OS is fine, as it will give an output back to a previous TM operating system where you need it, but it is compatible across versions.

• Satellite C660 - compatibility between motherboard and hard drive internal

  Hi, I have a problem with the compatibility between the internal (1 terabyte) hard drive and installing windows 7 pro.
  I broke my old internal hard drive (320 GB) and I bought the new hd (1 tb), but during the installation it says that w7 cannot be installed on this new hard drive.

  Can my pc motherboard (serial number: 3B071014k) support the new hard drive (serial number: wd10jpvx)?
  and if the answer is 'yes', how can I make it work?

  First of all the question has nothing to do with the motherboard and HARD drive compatibility.
  If the HARD drive is visible in the BIOS (first page), the HARD drive is supported by the BIOS and HARD disk controller.
  In the case where the drive HARD isn't recognized, you will need to replace this HARD drive with another. I guess the smaller size of the 2.5 SATA HDD THAT would be taken in charge (500 GB)

  However, in case the HARD disk is visible in the BIOS, you should be able to install Windows 7.
  Before starting the installation, you must format the HARD drive and should create the system partition.
  For this procedure, I recommend to use some tools such as partitions for example: GParted
  GParted is a freeware Linux tool.
  You can create a bootable USB key in order to start the device using GParted:
  http://gparted.sourceforge.NET/LiveCD.php

  Then, you should be able to format the HARD disk and create partitions.

• Satellite Pro P100 - replacing the HARD drive internal

  I have a Satellite Pro P100 with a concert of 60 internal HDD and would like to replace this with a 250 or 320 GB drive.

  Anyone can suggest a way to imagery of the current drive and copy this back to the new drive without having to re - install the operating system and other installed software?

  I have a couple of USB 2.0 external drives with sufficient capacity.

  Hello

  You first need to know if the more drive HARD 250 GB or 320 GB would be compatible and if the BIOS recognize this HARD drive without major worries!
  The problem is that not all HARD drive sizes are supported by the BIOS.
  Then all first check if the new HARD drive are supported!

  You ask how to get all the files on the new disk? I recommend good reinstall the OS from the recovery CD. It would be to reinstall the OS, drivers, tools, utilities.
  If you have other files such as mp3, etc it then backup to the external USB HDD.
  Then you could connect this HARD drive to the laptop and could transfer it on the internal HARD disk.

  Greetings

• Y at - it a maximum size of HARD drive internal to a Satellite Pro A120

  Is there a maximum size of disk HARD internally for a Satellite Pro A120?
  I tried a 320 HDD int Tosh and had problems with continuous boot.

  I have the BIOS update (March 08)

  > Is there a maximum size of disk HARD internally for a Satellite Pro A120
  Yes, I think so.
  The BIOS doesn't support all sizes of HARD drive!

  In my opinion, teething problems are associated with the large size of HARD drive and advise to use a smaller HARD drive.

• upgrade the hard drive internal 1 TB SSHD to the Macbook pro (pro mid-2010)

  OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

  MBP 13-inch, mid 2010

  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

  RAM: 8 GB

  I just bought this Seagate 1 TB SATA SSHD 54.

  Is it possible that I can clone the old hard drive (250 MB) on this new disc hard safely?

  A video supposed to be removing the old disk, replace it with the new hard drive, use a SATA adapter cable to connect the old drive to MBP.

  After that, use 'Super Duper '...  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=9KQG4yBRTGI

  My question is, has anyone tried to do these updates?

  All suggestions are welcome! Thank you in advance. I bought a new battery, upgrade the RAM and now the SSHD (no SSD. ) Forward to the last step. I don't know if I'll really have a more rapid aging, but I am hopeful!

  I got Seagate SSHDs in my Mbps, and will not otherwise by installing an OSX than any other type of HARD drive.

  I suggest that you install it in a closed enclosure and connect to your MBP via USB.

  Open disk utility > erase and format the SSHD for Mac OS extended (journaled) and a GUID partition.

  Use a third party application like Carbon Copy Cloner (not free, but worth the price) to copy all data from the drive HARD internal as well as the recovery partition.

  Start the MBP with the OPTION key and select the new SSHD.

  If it starts the MBP, proceed to the physical exchange of hard disks.

  Ciao.
