• 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.

• hard drive internal, now recognized as removable storage device?

  everything was fine until I updated my motherboard drivers. I have an Abit NF-M2SV (Nforce 405) and after the updated drivers (chipset, storage, etc.) and my second hard drive which is SATA, arose in the removable storage as if it were a memory stick. If I stop the device it tells me to unplug it now, but it is internal and the system is always on. Anyone know what may have caused this?
  Thank you

  chris1991,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

  If this happens when you updated your motherboard drivers, then you need to contact the manufacturer of your motherboard to see if they have a fix for it.  In the meantime, you can try restoring your system to a point in time before you updated the drivers from the motherboard.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:
  Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
  In the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
  In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
  Click Finish.
  The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  If this does not work, you can try to roll back the motherboard drivers, but it's very risky, so you should back up your system first.

  Thank you

• Equium L350D - DVD/CD drive is not recognized

• 2nd HARD drive internal for e9180f

  Hi, I want to add a second internal hdd to my e9180f for the purpose of a backup drive. In my view, there is a spare Bay and a connection SATA spare available in the wardrobe, however there is no power cord. I notice that the power for the primary drive crosses a short red cable attached to the motherboard, and I also notice that there is an identical form on the right side of the motherboard which is used to power the main drive.

  I am wondering therefore if Ineed to do, is to get another identical to the one that powers the main hard drive cable and connect it to the above mentioned plug?

  Thank you!

  Hello Eaglezeye, there is a space in the hard drive next to the HDD cage existing.

  The Red wire plugged into the existing hard drive is the data cable. There is also a longer power cable connected to the drive.

  You can order a retail hard drive that should come with a red data cable. This cable would connect to the sata port existing next to the one you already have.

  It takes a power connector in the wiring harness available for the new hard drive, probably just above the hard drive cage.

  The new hard drive must be partitioned and formatted before that you can use.

  The commercial version usually has a CD in the box that you can insert into the optical drive and restart the system. It will open the configuration screen and provide instructions on how to partition and format the new drive.

  When it ends, just remove the CD and restart the system. When the screen appears, you will see a message that new hardware be found and drivers required for this drive will be installed very quickly.

  The new hard drive will be recognized by the operating system and be ready to use.

  I hope this helps.

• DVD drive internal unrecognized in Wake UP

  Inspiron 17R (beginning 2013) during sleep, the internal DVD drive is not recognized in starting up. Once I hard reboot the laptop, it is recognized. It is configured with the DVD +/-RW 8 X 9.5, Serial ATA, TRAY, drive TOSHIBA SAMSUNG STORAGE TECHNOLOGY. When I try to run the diagnostic online player is not detected, it seems that it has been ignored in the bios. I've recently updated the bios to the most recent recommended. Any ideas what is happening here?

  There is no special configuration required to install an SSD more later. Just get the configuration of the disks you want to use with the SSD. Of course, with the installed SSD, a cache mSATA provides no benefit, then I wouldn't choose this option.

  normally internal unless you have it in an external enclosure. If internal why it did you
  disconnected could lead to why it doesn't work now.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total

  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

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the

• Where to keep the drive internal or external libraries?

  Question #1. I'm an old school and used to keep the media on an external drive and internal SSD flash disk application. (FCP7) I was thought to keep them separate for optimal performance. Now, I hear very often to keep the libraries on SSD internal flash drive. Why? First of all I can't consolidate as images can fill the space.

  Question #2. I am using a Seagate FW 800 as external, is replacement with USB 3.0 would improve performance?

  Question #3. I have many USB 3.0 devices. I have to constantly to move as my iMac does not provide sufficient USB3.0 outs. I read that USB powered ports creates problems.

  Thank you.

  P.S. One of the 3rd party plugins companies support highly advisable to keep the libraries on a flash SSD drive internal

  1. it may be a valid option to store the library on an SSD - especially if you travel and work on a laptop but I'm not hearing, saying that it is the best practice.  And you're right that media can fill disk quickly enough. What developer recommends it?

  2. Yes.  I guess that your connection to the FW drive is via an adapter Thunderbolt. So you should be really better off choosing a Thunderbolt drive.

  3. possibly. Maybe someone else will be chime.

• End of 2011 MBP El Capitan Windows 7 Boot Camp without optical drive internal (LOSING MY MIND, Please HELP)

  What I have:

  • Original disc Windows 7 Pro from Microsoft as to
  • Downloaded ISO exact copy of Microsoft as well if need be
  • DVD player Samsung external optics
  • USB drive (s)

  What I don't have:

  • Optical drive internal and original; the Bay is empty.
  • Patience to use VM and WinClone and all that BS.

  Sorry for the harsh tone, but I'm losing my mind edition .plists and restart a hundred times a day. erasure of the USB drives when all this used to work years ago.

  I was sure it was possible to install Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro 2011 delay, an external optical drive. I not even asking to use a USB key.

  Why do I have all official records of Microsoft and a USB/DVD drive, but am forced to use an other intern, that is broken for like 90 percent of Mac owners.

  I see a black screen with a cursor on startup or a black screen saying no boot device... After using Boot Camp Assistant. I tried to not use the wizard and make a Fat32 partition on my USB on and implemented to date, but this method failed as well for some reason any illogical.

  Please help me or at least explain certain restrictions that I can never get about in what concerns my machine and Boot Camp.

  Thank you!

  Can you extract the the Samsung SATA connector and connect to the SATA internal optical drive connector?

  The EFI on your Mac version works partially with a USB Flash drive, but the file info.plist mounting is required. The VM/Winclone method also works.

• Satellite A200 PSAF6A - HARD drive is not recognized. No recovery of product

  The drive HARD in my Toshiba Satellite A200 PSAF6A-0US01N is not recognized in the machine or any other computer, so I can't run any windows/toshiba repair.

  I know that readers have a factory reset hidden on the disc and press 0 to the power upward, but with the unreadable disk, how can I repair my installation of Windows Vista?

  Hello

  If the HARD drive is not recognized by the BIOS or other laptops, then I would say that your HARD drive is defective.
  In this case, you need to replace the HARD drive.
  In this case, you will not be able to start the recovery procedure from the HARD drive because it works badly as he has already said

• How to replace the hard drive internal on Satellite 2450?

  Hello!
  Last month, after a BSOD displayed (I don't have the code of error message, unfortunately) my laptop decided to not work again.
  At the start, he reached the start menu and then displays a black screen... no message, no auto restart... nothing. Just a weird noise coming from the hard drive (like a scratched cd).

  I tried to format the drive, but without success. After choosing the boot source, trying to read the cd and the black screen appears again, with no message. I checked if the Bay of cd is not working properly and it is. (I think)
  So I replaced the HDD in my satellite 2450. A new toshiba ide 2.5 30 GB hard drive. But when I install a new one, the system does not recognize.

  The control panel of the Bios says that "no hard disk" is available, and I can not change this option. (locked)
  With the Windows Xp cd in the drive, the Setup program runs all properly until the 'select drive' format menu, witch says that no hard drive is recognized (with a new drive hard in).

  I don't really know what to do!
  Is something missing in this process?

  Thank you for the patience

  Hello

  The laptop did not recognize a new HARD drive. Which is one reason why Win XP cannot follow the additional installation steps

  I can't say exactly why the HARD drive is not recognized, but the 30 GB IDE should be ok.
  I remember one of my friends had a similar problem with the new HARD drive.
  Some hard drives have a jumper (3.5 HARD drive and 2.5 IDE HARD drive too)
  Maybe you should check if a rider has been set to the right position (slave?).

  Check it otherwise that I recommend to test with another new HARD drive

  In the worst case the disc HARD controller might be faulty, but it would mean replacing a motherboard

  Hi Paul,.

  You don't say what model of laptop you have, but generally speaking if you are using Windows XP then you will use the standard Microsoft drivers for your scanner.

  However, you can Toshiba drivers and utilities download from Toshiba web site by clicking on the Support section and downloads and selection of files to download. You will need to fill in the details of your laptop so that the list of appropriate driver (unless you have provided these details when you register).

  Kind regards
