  First, I changed the system to a 500 GB HARD drive, and everything was good. The old drive was not usable extern, so I left it as an emergency backup device.
  After a few weeks, I did the upgrade even to the second HARD drive, and again the old drive is not usable in my extern Dockingstation.
  Does anyone have a good idea what causes this problem? The HARD drives are locking the entire system, if I try to access and some formatting.

• New WD drive HARD black not recognized?

  Hello, I just bought a Western Digital Black 750 GB SATAIII. I wanted to clone my Samsung 500 GB SATA so I downloaded Acronis Clone WD edition... When I installed the new HD in the Bay and the old via USB as recommended I turned on my laptop and got a BIOS message "Please install an OS. I have the boot USB HDD the first value order. I think that because windows 8 is installed on that it would start, but no. I reversed the locations (new via the USB port and old Bay) this time window is not still 'see' my other. I opened the Manager devices to display devices. A new figure, but when I right click Properties it currently says "this hardware device is not connected" code 45? ""Connect the device back to fix the problem. So I did and still get message. It is correctly connected and the USB Universal IDE or SATA cables are nine (cables to go). The strange thing is that I have an old IDE 80 GB laying around so I plugged it in via USB and it has been detected, and I was able to open it! I'm so confused and running on the hair. I contact WD and HP (MOBO manufacturer) also INSYDE BIOS manufacturer.  No response yet, so I hope that someone here has solutions. I tried to update the driver for the new HARD drive, but windows says that it is up-to-date.

  Windows worm 6.2.9200, HP Pavilion g6 - 2231 w/AMD 8A - 6 4400 M APU, 8 GB memory DDR3, INSYDE worm. F.26 BIOS.

  Thank you all for the reply. I was contacted by Western Digital, which had me send a screenshot of my disk manager and the error of Acronis. They noticed that my drive was listed as "not initialized" in the screenshot of Acronis. I'm gone Disk Manager, initialized the disc and voila. I can access now.

  After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

• Re: Satellite L555 11 L: BIOS indicates the drive HARD is not installed, BOOT Manager said HDD

  Hello!

  I had problems with my Toshiba laptop.

  When I tried to boot my system after a regular stop it does not recognize the HARD drive more.
  BIOS indicates the drive HARD is not installed, the said BOOT Disk Manager failed.

  Tried the HARD drive to a desktop computer and it works fine. This is not a new HDD SATA is recognized.
  However, the boot sequence itself and other functions seem to be ok.

  Who is wrong?
  The laptop is 1.5 years old and didn't have any problems before.

  Any help is appreciated ;)

  Hello

  It seems that the HARD drive is damaged.
  In your case the drive HARD test would be recommended.

  Download the software called Drive Fitness Test. It the free tool that can be used for the test of HARD drive.
  If the HARD drive is not detected or you will get errors, then it means that you HARD drive needs to be replaced and OS need to be installed again.

• is it possible to see EVERY folder and file that exists on the drive hard on one screen and in one place just as you could do in much older versions.

  OK... so I had an accident and there was good and bad news... the good news is that I was able to get it started and running "Save", but the bad news is that instead of giving a new image system clean (as I expected), I had a bunch of random pictures and other unimportant things and many important things seems lost but I think that its still all somewhere.

  now... to the front sometimes there was a windows program called "windows explorer" that would put all folders and all files that was on the hard drive on a single screen, and you can search through them.    When I shoot to the top of the Explorer windows on win 7, I get a page with a bunch of files minor that some things in them, but not what I see already...

  so... my question is simply "is it possible to see EACH file and a file that exists on the drive hard on one screen and in one place just as you do in earlier versions.    I did some research and went thru records that he will show me but I explicitly want is to see EACH file and folder that exists on one screen...

  is it possible in win 7?   and if so, how, please

  Steven

  Steve,

  Are you talking about the Windows Search function?

  In Windows Explorer, open the top-level folder that you want to watch in [C:\Users\yourusername\Documents or whatever it is you want] then look in the upper right area - there is a white box to the right of the address bar.  This is the search box.  Type * and then pause and it lists all the files in this top-level folder down through its subfolders.

  ===========================================

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded: run DriverView - set
  SEE drivers to hide Microsoft - update those with Dump in their names. (Also
  updated the BIOS and drivers from the chipset on the site of the constructor/the system motherboard).

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded
  on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is
  Poster: load address of the driver, description, version, product name,.
  company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit Maker as replacements and system manufacturer of device which are
  the most recent. Control Panel - write - graphics card - device manager
  the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
  Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
  MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
  If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
  you have.

  Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
  and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
  their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
  Site of the manufacturer here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN -.
  REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you are
  installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
  later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
  Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW to the device makers DO NOT RUN THEIR
  SCANNER - check manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using
  the above methods is preferable to ensure the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system
  and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable driver facilities
  in the updates of Windows, which leaves on Windows updates, but it will not be installed
  pilots who are generally older and cause problems. If updates provides a new
  driver then hide it (right click on it) and then go get new ones manually if
  you want.

  Thank you.

  Unfortunately, this drive has probably went wrong.  Have you tried another cable to connect your player to your computer?  It may be a long shot, but it is possible that the cable could be damaged.  You may need to take your car to a specialist in recovery to recover the data.  I apologize for the bad news.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  You can probably find more info here and maybe even the exact registry for your CD/DVD settings
  drive from someone with the same model.

  Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
  nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

  DevManView - free - an alternative to the standard Windows Device Manager, which displays all the
  devices and their properties in flat table, instead of the tree viewer

  If necessary, you can try an InPlace upgrade/repair Installation which should allow you to keep the
  programs and data backups redundant but are always a good idea.

  And if nothing else works a new facility can assist and/or replace the CD/DVD drive.

  I hope this helps.
