• Second SATA hard drive not detected by Bios and Device Manager

  Original title: second SATA hard drive

  Hard drive not detected by the Bios and the device under Vista Home Premiun Manager

  Hi trinitario,.

  Because the hard drive is not detected in the BIOS also, it may be due to a hard drive configuration that should be changed or a rider. If you need to get in touch with a Local tech-store for assistance.

  Note: change in the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

• Hard drive not detected once, but now?

  Hello

  I am Zak, a bit of techno when it comes to playing with the software, or re-Assembly of computers and whatnot. Unfortunately, I have no idea about other things.

  Some quick history on my laptop: the fan was made terrible noises in recent weeks. Initially, I thought it was little dust, so I got a few duster. A lot of dust came out, so that can only be good, but the noise came back after a few days. After some research, I thought that the other logical explanation was probably the hard drive goes bad. I hesitate to send back to HP because I use it for all my college work and it would really put me back weeks to have it not.

  So, a few days ago I booted my computer laptop at a "drive not detected" - or very similar - message. There were a few options for f1 - f4, they were information system and 3 different tests (I think). I ran the tests, all of them came back fine, noting that there are no operating system installed, or a hard drive to boot from. I rebooted because I didn't quite start and wanted to see if there were other options. It turns out that he has started well. I restarted once more and again once it did it very well.

  Then, I coded around, back up all my data, gather warranty information, installation of the HP Support Assistant, etc. I ran all the tests help Wizard and there is no problems found. Since I just got the laptop hibernation when I stop using it, and I have not met any unusual problems. All this sounds great, but my warranty expires December 7 this year. It is safe for me to assume that the "drive not detected" error was just one missed? I read a lot of discussions and FAQS on him and it's not something that happens once and goes. However, I never had to use a warranty so not sure quite how the process works, and as I said, he sent everywhere would put me in my work.

  In order to be a full post, I have a HP G62 - 367DX laptop, running on Windows 7 64-bit OS, and as far as I know there no change was made between error and my prior boot. If there is any other information I can give you, let me know.

  See you soon, thank you for all help and good day

  The wizard tests are not as comprehensive or reliable as the drive hard test in the BIOS... tap F10 as you power up, go and find the hard drive test. Run the long form test and see what it says. It is not uncommon that the hard drive start as intermittent and get progressively more frequent problems. If your drive passes the test of long form, only enough safely, you can assume that it was a unique gremlin, but it's still a really good idea to back up. I like the idea of online backup services and I will quote Carbonite only because it is well known and not as an endorsement. There are several more and year external drive is a good idea.

  You can't put off forever; restarting You'll have to deal with the issue at some point.

• Drive external DRIVE not detected after update of the Sierra

  I upgraded my Macbook Air Sierra this morning. Since then, whenever I plug in my external Seagate HDD, it is not detected in the Finder, or see a shortcut on the desktop. However, it is visible in disk utility.

  I connected the HARD drive even air to my friend Yosemite running, and it works as usual.

  How the drive is formatted?

  Post a screenshot of what you see in disk utility.

• Hard drive not detected 50% of the time to start up

  I have a model of Macbook Pro mid 2012 with the following changes:

  • Upgrade to 16 GB Ram
  • DVD player, replaced by Bay and old (existing) 500 GB hard drive for storage
  • Hard drive replaced with 250 GB SSD (Samsung EVO 850)
  • Windows via Bootcamp 10
  • Mac OS X Yosemite
  • Refind installed at startup

  Recently, my existing SSD drive gave me a lot of questions - so I'm a new and SuperDuper'ed the existing on it. Formatted the Windows partition and reinstalled Windows 10.

  I have 50 GB on the Mac drive and 200 concerts on Windows.

  The issue that I am facing is that on every other bootup, the Mac does not detect the hard drive.

  If I OPTION-press and hold the button, I see only the 500 Gig data drive (which is not bootable).

  Then, I need to restart and COMMAND + R (or D) to enter the internet recovery mode, wait until the choice of network is displayed.

  Then when I reboot, I am presented with the original hard drive and multiple start options (Mac / Windows) on Refind.

  I don't think it's a matter of refind, as happens even with uninstalled Refind.

  This does not happen when I plug my old (SSD by default).

  What could go wrong on the new hard drive and I can barely turn the question?

  Thank you.

  What are the contents of the disc in hand and Optibay Bay?

• NB100 - 11G - HARD drive not detected during installation of Windows XP

  I have a Toshiba NB100 - 11G with Win XP Home and a 160 GB HD RAM upgraded 1 024 to 2 GB. Recently, I tried to install Win Pro SP3. However, it did not work and the message was that the hard drive was not recognized. I have no problem restoring with the provided Toshiba Recovery CD (which has Win XP Home).

  Does anyone have an idea why I couldn't install Win XP Pro? Could it be related to my RAM upgrade? (The only thing I changed.)

  Thanks for a response. Sincerely, Allan.

  Hello

  The problem is that you integrate the driver SATA Windows XP can detect the internal HARD drive. Otherwise, you get a blue screen or the HARD drive is not detected.

  With the help of nLite (freeware tool), you can create a new drive to install XP with SATA driver package. This is described here:

• External SSD hard drive not detected by Airport Extreme/Time Capsule

  Hello everyone, I have the following problem:

  Framework

  -J' bought a 1 TB Samsung SSD 840 EVO internal media.

  -He is locked in a case of badges and used as an external hard drive

  -J' have an Airport Extreme (5th generation)

  -J' have a Time Capsule (4th Gen)

  -My MBP detects the SSD external hard drive when it is connected to the USB port and works fine

  Problem

  -I connect the external SSD hard drive to the USB port on both TCapsule and AExtreme, but the HD is not detected directly (USD and with powered hub of USD)

  -HD was formatted as OS x journaled Extended

  -J' tried smb and cifs via 'connect to server', but does not work.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Unfortuantely, Apple did not update the firmware on the USB key (it is still 2.0) port on their routers for a number of years.  As a result, new USB 3.0 drives may or may not work with airports.

  Yes, we know that USB 3.0 is supposed to be backward compatible with USB 2.0 in theory, but theory does not always work in practice.

  If your drive is formatted as Mac OS extended (journaled)... also called HFS +... .and you have tried the drive with and without a USB hub powered and the reader will not be displayed with you check using the AirPort Utility disks tab... then you have one of a number of readers who do not work with routers from the airport.

  I just checked a new LaCie USB 3.0 drive I have here. It works perfectly with a Mac, but it appears not at all when I connect it to the USB port or a powered new AirPort Extreme or new Time Capsule directly, or by using a USB hub.

• HP Elitedesk 800 G2 SFF: external hard drive not detected in the BIOS. Only USB Flash drives are detected.

  Hi all

  I received recently 2 new HP desktop computers.

  HP Elitedesk 800 G2 SFF

  HP Elitedesk 800 G2 TWR

  The goal is to test our real W7 x 64 image on these machines and to inject the missing drivers in the image.

  MDT 2010 to create a deployment on a USB hard disk drive.

  This disc of deployment is already used on 16 different models of HP in the company (Elitebook, zBook, EliteDesk) to install our image so I know it works.

  Unfortunately, the two HP Elitedesk 800 G2, I can't start the boot disk but I cannot to USB for a USB key.

  The USB drive is not detected and not proposed in the BIOS Menu of STARTUP.

  Only the internal HD, external USB Flash Disk, DVD and network devices are detected.

  Here's what I already checked or tried:

  • Latest Version of the BIOS installed (2.05)
  • UEFI Boot has been disabled. (not supported by our record of deployment)
  • USB ports are enabled (front and rear).
  • All types of USB devices are allowed in the BIOS
  • The start command has been changed to start with USB devices.
  • Legacy support is active and Secure Boot disabled
  • Delete the keys to secure boot
  • Reset secure by default startup keys
  • This morning, I created a new disk deployment on a USB Flash drive and it works!

  So, it seems that only Flash USB drives are detected.

  I know it is possible to return the flag removalble on a USB device to cheat the system and make it appear as a disk fixed, but I want a simple solution.

  Does anyone know a fix or a workaround for this problem?

  Thanks in advance!

  For those interested in the answer, here's the final results.

  It turns out that the hard 500 GB external drive can be detected if it is fomatted in FAT32.

  It's strange because my 16 GB USB Flash drive formatted in NTFS works very well.

  In any case, I'll create a FAT32 Partition to the Boot MDT files and put my picture (because the file is too big for FAT32 partition) on the secondary partition (formatted as NTFS).

  Thanks to the technical pre-sales team of HP who helped me with this!

• HARD drive not detected in the BIOS on Satellite A215

  Hi all

  I could use to solve this problem: bought this laptop computer without a disk of the auction. Installed again 2.5 inches HDD SATA 250 GB, which was not detected in BIOS and also not detected when using a MS Vista installation disc. When trying to install Vista, get a message no drive seen HARD and demand for pilots.
  I flashed the BIOS with version (2.0) of lates without problem through the CD drive, but still no detection of HARD drive.

  The drive partitioned and formatted NTFS without problem by using another computer and USB SATA adapter using the command line method. Just for additional verification, I went on the new HARD drive to an extra 2.5 "SATA HDD used for backups, but that the HARD drive has also not been detected.

  It is not a "compatibility" option in CMOS to select SATA or Auto, etc..
  There is not a second HDD, so this isn't a question of slave/primary. There are no jumpers on the new HARD drive.
  Set the CMOS settings 'by default' does not solve the problem.

  The SATA connectors on the HARD drive and laptop computer are in perfect condition.
  Also, the drive is not detected on the laptop connected via USB to SATA Adapter, but of course there is no OS installed to support this connection.

  In any case, I just can't come up with any more ideas to try.
  Any suggestions would be really appreciated!

  Best,
  Glenn

  Hello

  The BIOS should recognize the HARD disk even if the SATA mode would be compatible or AHCI. This should not affect the recognition of the HARD drive.

  You said that you have tested the condition of the HARD drive and it's ok, so I guess that it s no disc HARD question.
  Hmm, you could try to format the HARD drive once more and then connect the portable computer HARD drive.

  Another idea: Remove/Disconnect the CD/DVD drive and then connect the HARD drive to the SATA connector.
  If it does not, then I recommend to test another HARD drive, otherwise if the new HARD drive would not work, then a SATA controller may be defective.

• Satellite L40 - no HARD drive not detected in the BIOS

  Hello

  I need some advice here. I have a Toshiba Satellite a colleague here, type L40 - 14N. She wanted to run the Toshiba Recovery CD procedure to get back original configuration... system was going way too slow and all that, no other problems. Anyway, she's not very experienced and one way or another the recovery failed.

  Problem is that the system does not detect a HARD drive now more for some reason any. Not in the BIOS, not during the procedure of Toshiba Recovery CD if I start it now. I also tried a Vista installer retail and loaded drivers SATA raid as mentioned on this forum. Without success, no HARD drive detected.

  It's weird, because nothing essentially. Any suggestions how I could solve this problem and get the HARD drive online?

  If the HARD drive is not detected, the installation of recovery will not work and also a Microsoft installation disc.
  The HARD drive should be detected in the BIOS, otherwise that an installation is not possible.

  However, it seems that the HARD drive is defective because the BIOS peut t detect it.
  If your laptop is in warranty got a local ASP or you change the HARD drive by yourself.

• PX1268E 400 GB external hard drive not detected

  Hi all

  I bought a Toshiba external hard 400GO USB Drive of DABS it delivered without a CD Rom. I plugged the USB cable into the computer, but it did not detect the drive, even after re - starts or try other USB slots. Not shown in Device Manager. I probably need this CD to complete the installation Yes? Download the installer from here?
  Any info/advice gratefully received.
  see you soon

  Hello

  I don't know if this external HARD drive needs an additional but installation CD everything must be shipped with the HARD m disk box!
  To my knowledge this HARD drive needs an external power supply. The cable must be delivered also with this HARD drive.

  So take your manual HDD and check shipped all parts! If something is missing you dealer of HARD drive!

  PS; the CD cannot be downloaded on the net!

• Satellite L300 - cannot install Vista - HARD drive not detected

  My laptop model is Satellite L300. Model No.: PSLB0E-06U01HAR.

  I am facing problem with Windows Vista Home Basic.
  In the middle of the instalation, it does not detect the hard drive.
  Its shows me the error that is your hard drive erased or not connected the power cable.

  But I installed the operating system like UBUNTU successfully opened.

  Let me know how to solve this problem.

  Thank you

  Did you include the SATA driver?
  If this is not the case, this could be the reason why the HARD drive is not detected.

  However, you can disable the AHCI in the BIOS and it could spend in compatible mode. In this case the SATA driver is not important

• External hard drive not detected

  I have an external hard drive of 4 Marine to... .and a Macbook pro with the latest El Capitan... When I connect the external hard drive for Mac pro, an external hard drive can not detect, but there is a light flashing on the external hard drive. It worked well until last night after I used iTunes and went to another Mac. I still eject properly.

  Any ideas on how to solve this problem

  Try using disk utility to repair the disk. If the drive does not appear in the disk utility list, then he dies. Contact the manufacturer or supplier.

  Shut down the computer, disconnect the drive. Wait five minutes and then reboot and reconnect the drive.

• HP X 705 PEN DRIVE NOT DETECTED IN ANY PC

  I plugged my USB on my laptop, and he asked me to dial before use. I formatted and the format has been successful. After that I was transferring some of my files and suddenly the USB connection has been lost due to unknown reasons. I reinserted it and then found out that it is not detected. I tried by assigning a drive letter in disk management, but I couldn't see my pen drive listed. I also tried to connect to other computers and devices, but none of them detected. I hope that there is not any problem with USB 2.0 as connection he used to work earlier. It could be a hardware problem and I can not return or ask the supplier I bought at snapdeal.

  Hello Hackerschoice,

  You say it happened when writing files to it. The player bumped or moved while this was happening?

  If the drive is not detected in ANY computer or device, then the reader has become physically corrupted or damaged in some way.

  If snapdeal will not honor a warranty for a recent purchase, your only recourse is to contact HP support directly for your country and ask questions on the help of the guarantee.

  Here is a link with the numbers of the different countries.

  Good luck.
