Disk management will not read the 2nd internal hard drive more!

Hello

I am a user of windows 7 and later than yesterday (2016_Feb_02) managing disks stopped to read the secondary internal hard drive (it was working perfectly well before). Does CPU, a beep when it is turned on or even rebooted and more when it comes to the windows logo, the PC hangs for a good 15 seconds.

The hard drive was an external hard drive and I removed the cover must be installed on my PC, but it has worked well for more than 5 months so far.

I would like to reuse the hard disk without losing any data.

Information on PC:

Compaq

RAM 2 GB

Purchased in 2009

Details of the hard drive:

Seagate

2 TB

Please let me know if more information is needed.

Thank you very much.

  • New installation of Windows 7 will not identify the second internal hard drive

    Attempted recently to upgrade a computer running the SP3 of XP to Windows 7.  Bought the new FULL version of 7.
    Have two 1 t Seagate Barracuda SATA drives on board; Operating system in partition 1 of disk C:. second disc to store data only.

    Several unsuccessful attempts to install 7, but with helpful suggestions, others on this forum, (i.e., update of the BIOS, re-formatting drive C to do a clean install, etc.) finally managed to a successful installation.

    All right, except that it does not find my second hard drive.  I have the disks attached ports SATA 1 & 2, but the system reads them so much as the C: drive.  The second disc appears in the BIOS Setup and Explorer as just the C: drive.

    Tried to change the SATA port for second drive to 3 and 4 with the same result.  It always appears as the C: drive.

    How can I get the systΦme can recognize the drive, so it can be assigned to a drive letter and I can access?  I suspect that the reformatting of the first disc for installation probably erased some boot sector/configuration info.

    A side issue: before attempting to upgrade to XP, I backed up my "Documents and Settings" on an external drive.  Now that XP is passed to the computer, can I continue to use Windows Easy Transfer to retrieve all my settings and info from the program, or who's going to screw me up?

    Check if the hard drive is assigned to a drive letter in disk management.

    Click Start, right click on computer

    Click on management of

    Expand disk management

    Select your external hard drive if its posted here

    Make a right click paths and change drive letter

    Restart your computer, open the computer in the start menu and see if it shows then.

  • Historical files Windows 8 will not recognize the new external hard drive

    I just bought a new laptop (Sony Vaio) with Windows 8Pro (System op 64-bit, Intel I7, 1THD).  One of the reasons is that I have approached Win8, is I liked the concept of the new 'File History' backup utility  I started to use the computer with an ext WD My Guide of the HD and the history of the files seemed to work.  Then the drive external hard went wrong and I just bought a new WD My Passport 2 t ext HD.  Historical files will not recognize this drive.  He keeps asking the old drive.  When I attached the new drive and go to the screen "Select drive", it says "no usable drives are detected.  Please connect a drive... "I know that the drive is there because I see under 'My computer' and I can copy files to it.  But the history of the files do not recognize.  WD, I called and they helped me to update drivers and even made a update firmware on the drive, but nothing is done.  I tried several fixes suggested in a few links Microsoft 'how file history works... '. «, «What to do if the file history works more...» ", etc, but all without success. The tech also remote BestBuy Geek squad my computer and tried EVERYTHING and could not get it to succeed.  BTW, it's not the HD post because put us on another computer to WIN 8 and Hx file found immediately.  Tech people thought that it was a deep registry with Win 8 problem and their only suggestion was to reimage my computer with the original recovery disk.  But who is going to cost me an arm and a leg.

    I'm not very tech savvy, so I know there must be something very simple, I'm do wrong or overlooking and I hope that some dear soul on this forum or someone from Microsoft can give me an idea or two.  Thank you very much

    I was having this same problem, but then noticed a presentation text easy to miss in the historical files tool that says that the disc "cannot be a part of a library" or something like that. In my case, I had files on my external hard drive that have been included in several libraries... and none that I really used, so I removed the files (and deleted the libraries for good measure). A fast system restart later, and my player does not appear.

    I don't know why MS did not propose it again for this thread as the more obvious thing to check, but there you have it. Something simple and quick to check that could save you some frustration.

  • Satellite A500 - is there a model with the 2nd internal HARD drive?

    Is there a model A500 with 2 internal drives?

    Hello!

    You can check it on the Toshiba site in the specifications of the laptop if it s equipped ;) 2nd HARD drive

    But I checked the Toshiba Web site for you, and it seems that Satellite A500 isn't equipped with the 2nd HARD drive.
    If you want a 2nd HARD drive therefore use an external that you can connect via for example fast eSATA port.

    Good bye

  • Can not read the files on hard drive

    I bought a new computer with Windows 7.  My old computer running Windows XP and has a virus which disabled permanently.  I want to recover the files from the old drive to the new hard disk.  I removed the hard drive from the old computer and put it in the new computer.  The new computer recognized and named E: drive.  However, Windows Explorer shows "this folder is empty".   But when I look at the properties of the drive E:, it shows that the old hard drive is 40% full.  Why is it impossible to see the files in Windows Explorer?  And how can this problem be fixed?

  • Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-820 s will not read the cd rom cd-rom dvd

    OK, I read the other posts on these discs. Mine will play DVD movies and play them. It will not read the dvd ROM CD CD-ROM etc.
    This cannot be a hardware problem, it must be the software should not it?
    Can anyone help?
    Does anyone have information on how to remove these disks of the computer? Im sure I can install a new one myself if I really need to.
    Unfortunately the computer is just out of warranty

    Hi Robert,.

    Unfortunately, your problem sounds like a problem with the hardware with the optical drive. The player itself must be able to refocus its lenses to switch between DVD and CD formats, and also to pass the pressed DVD and DVD burned.

    I suggest you tyre remove the device from the Device Manager Control Panel, then restart your laptop so that the optical drive will be recognized as a new component hardware and Windows will then be re - install with standard drivers etc. If this does not work then it looks like a new drive will be necessary.

    Unfortunately you say not what model of laptop you have (the removal procedure is not the same in all cases), but in general if the car is equipped with in-house it is held in place with one or two screws accessible from the bottom of the laptop that should be removed first, then the optical drive can be slid out of its location.

    Kind regards

    Hi Larry,

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft community!

    I understand that this E T5226 machine won't read SD card. I will try to help you with this.

    (1) did you make any changes before the show?

    (2) you receive an error message/code?

    1. check if the device is detected in Device Manager. Follow the steps to go to the Device Manager

    i. click on start, type devmgmt.msc and then on enter.

    II. research the name of the device

    If the device is not detected in Device Manager, and check if it is the hidden device.

    i. click on view under view hidden devices

    II. develop all winks in Device Manager

    III. there would be multiple entries in the device in gray Manager uninstall all entries shaded under all the winks and then restart the computer and connect the external device to the computer and check if it works.

    2. install the latest drivers from the manufacturer's Web site and even ensure that the driver is compatible with the version of the operating system installed on your computer. check if it works.

  • Satellite A40-231: SD-R6112 will not read the DVDs I burned

    I finally got my DVD burner to work, but now the drive will not read the DVDs I burned, which, of course, defies the point of having a dvd burner in the first place... When I insert my dvd recently burned, "working" light lights and stays on. Same thing happens no matter how many times I take it out and put plug back in, restart my computer, etc... any ideas anyone?

    Hello

    @Magnus:
    Sometimes, CDs and burned DVD cannot be read with no closing sessions of engraving. You should check this option.
    In addition, this burning program did you use?
    I use Nero. Form is the program better combustion and I never had a problem.
    What you need to do is to test several DVDs. not all media work on the disc.

    The problem with the tracklog is the '+' in the specifications of the latitude. Remove the brands '+' the legible tracklog. Now, I'm not sure if a '+' is valid or not (http://developer.garmin.com/schemas/gpx/1.0/oxygen/index.html_h882410155.html), but for this time Jeffrey Geoencoding Plugin will not read the tracklog...
