Drive problem hard dv8000 - does not recognize hard drives

This is my first post, so please let me know if I did something wrong!

OK, so the other day, I was working on my dv8000 when he walks just down. I turned it back and instead of properly start he told me that he could not find the operating system. Knowing that the machine was two disks in it, I swapped the primary with secondary school and always got the same result. Then, I went out and bought an external and attached drive Bay hard drive to my office. The disc was bad and kept cycling the heads. I have now bought a new HDD and the laptop is currently configured with the new disk into the main slot and the other original hard dirve I checked and it is good in the second slot. Here's my problem - when I go in the bios that the computer recognizes the two hard disks for boot options, but when I try to load XP from a cd to the laptop, it tells me that there is just no hard drives installed... What don't get me? I checked the disc for errors via the bios and the comeback test passed. I thought about formatting of readers but the bios doesn't have a format feature in what I can say. for all the intense and fine, the bios sees the readers, but the operating system does not work. Any ideas >

Please help because this is my machine of the company and I can't keep borrowing my wifes laptop, she thinks I'm going to break this one too!

Thank you.

"When I try to load XP from a cd to the laptop, he tells me that there is just no hard drives installed... What missing am me?"

Your cd does not necessarily include the required drivers. The original (MS detail) XP installation cd does not detect the SATA drives. Also some other readers can be detected, including the ATA/IDE standard. If you have your original factory CD, you could try this, it should work. You can try to install another operating system, for example. Ubuntu and see if these disk become visible.

    From your post, I guess that the configuration of the system now recognizes the hard drive?

    If you do not have a floppy drive, then BIOS can find the player who isn't there, it returns this error.

    Make sure that the floppy drive [drive A] is disabled in the [BIOS] installation system, page 173, so that it is no longer looking for the disc and see if this stops the error message.

    If the hard drive is recognized in the configuration of the system, he now knows in windows "My computer" or in "disk management, [right click on 'My computer' and select 'Manage', then disk management]."

    Hi Tayyab

    When you decide to install a new version of Windows on an older computer, the first thing you need to do is to consult the manufacturer of the computer for the hardware drivers that are compatible with the new version of Windows.

    The support material General laptop Dell Forum:

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518.aspx

    Search for your Dell product.

    Dell support service provides support for your Dell product:

    If Dell does not support the hardware on this model, you should try to find compatible drivers directly from the hardware manufacturers.

    In Windows 7, press the Windows key + R to display the run dialog box.

    Type msinfo32 in the Open box, and then click OK.

    This will display information for the laptop, including all the material and information on the pilots.

  • Windows XP Home edition does not recognize new HDD on the Qosmio G20

    I have a Qosmio G20/390LS bought a year ago, when I worked at the Japan, I tried to upgrade the hard drive with a new HD 100 GB Hitachi SATA but I faced a problem that XP does not recognize the HD.
    For your reference, the Bios sees the new HD, when I install the XP operating system I load the driver downloaded from the Toshiba Web site but no way RAID with F6... XP does not recognize the HD.

    Do you have any idea how to fix?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Computers portable Japanese are unknown to me, but if this laptop comes with two hard drives and RAID option do not forget the good option is set in the BIOS. Without the right BIOS setting you will not be able to install the OS.

    On Qosmio G30, I was able to install Vista when for two HDD HARD drive settings were 0-RAID-1. Check it please and let us know.

  • 2015 CC Photoshop does not recognize nvidia gt630m

    Hello.

    I know it's a common question but I want to use all the power of my laptop.

    So my laptop based on the Core i3 - 3110 m cpu and nvidia geforce gt630m gpu 2 GB, 8 GB of ram. 8.1 Windows x 64

    application version - Adobe Photoshop Version: 2015.1.2 20160113.r.355 x 64

    version of the nvidia driver is 364.72

    All the drivers are up to date.

    The problem is Photoshop does not recognize the gpu nvidia and uses only integrated intel hd 4000 instead.

    intel.png

    Well, I tried to manually select the gpu from nvidia Control Panel

    manage.png

    and when I did - Photoshop not just recognition gpu, empty empty preference section:

    nvidia.png

    also in these cases I get an error when you open any image:

    error.png

    According to official information, my gpu (nvidia 600series) has been tested and should work fine.

    Well, I found a solution in the forum of nvidia, but it's barbaric and disabled-switching automatic of the gpu on the entire system.

    In addition, in Lightroom, all is ok:

    lightroom.png

    I thank you for the attention, hope that my problem would be solved.

    Well, ok, adobe support cannot resolve this problem, I got it.

    I tried many things and spent some time on it. Program running as administrator, choosing gpu in nvidia Control Panel, install different versions of the drivers and all with cleaning system and the registry. Everything was useless. But.

    I found the solution.

    I have uninstall Adobe Photoshop CC 2015.1.2 (20160113.r.355) - clean registry and install the previous version - Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 (20150722.r.168).

    Figures that newest version of PS work well with nvidia gt 630 m, perhaps, it has not been tested at all.

    He can hardly qualified as a solution but now Photoshop sees my gpu at least.

    Hope Adobe will fix this problem in the new version of Photoshop. Maybe this can help someone.

    Best regards, wire.

  • Windows does not recognize CDRWDVD PBDS DH-48C2S as a CD burner

    Hi all

    As it is said in the topic I have CD burning problems as Windows does not recognize my drive as a CD burner.

    First my system:

    Dell Optiplex 755

    Intel Core 2 Duo

    E6750 @ 2 .66GHz

    980 MB RAM

    XP Pro SP2

    When I put a CD - RW in the drive is not recognized at all (when clicking on the drive in Windows Explorer, once the disk in it says "D:\ is not accessible.  Incorrect function. »).  I put no Virgin CD in the drive and browse the content very well via Windows Explorer.  Another reason why I know that Windows does not recognize the drive as a CD burner, it is that when I open Windows Media Player and click on burn, he says the following above the Virgin to burn: "connect a burner and restart the player.

    The drive appears as working properly in Device Manager.  I think the problem is that it uses the generic drivers following windows that appear not to be CD RW drivers:

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\cdrom.sys

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\imapi.sys

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\redbook.sys

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\storprop.dll

    It isn't a hardware problem, since we have three of these exact same new computers with the same model CD/DVD drive and the problem exists on all three PCs (so the probability that each have three new PC a failed drive is tiny).

    Unfortunately I can't find a updated driver/firmware update for this model of hard drive anywhere on this site or when I googled the model.  I tried uninstalling the drive through Device Manager, then restart the computer so that Windows reinstall it but the problem persists.

    Anyone know how to fix this?  Can someone point me to a generic Windows XP CD RW driver because that might solve the problem?

    Thank you.

  • Why my mac does not recognize my hard drive or SD cards?

    I got a new Macbook Air last month. Since I had so much problems with it - mostly because if you plug in anything whatever in the SD card slot or USB drives, it does not recognize them. I own a mac before, as well as PC laptop dell, so I am aware of the problems when formatting the discs everywhere, but even when I plugged a new passport hard drive, the computer couldn't find. Similarly, you may not find all the SD cards when I tried to use the SD card.

    What is going with this? I am a photographer living, so I need constant access to these two. This new model has some new method for transfer of files from the external hard drive etc.?

    Close, then connect the mac to a power adapter, disconnect all external devices.

    reset the SMC

    Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

    reset all external then pulls even deleted

    Connect the external hard drive and open Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility disk utility

    Hello

    There is a little less than two months, I bought my HDD Toshiba Canvio Basics 3.0 from Amazon. The hard drive has stopped working for some reason any (I drop or something, it simply stopped working).

    Of course, I was trying to use my warranty to repair or Exchange it, but the Web of Toshiba site does not recognize my serial number and product number. They are just there, black and white on the sticker on the back of my hard drive, but the site says they are not valid.

    Someone has an idea what is happening? I would rather not throw 50 euros by the window for less than two months of use.

    Product number is HDTB105XK3AA - and not to HDTB105 * E * K3AA like some sites say (including Amazon).

    Thanks for your help.

    Stand by. Have you contacted Amazon using Amazon options for repair under warranty or Exchange?

    I buy the art external disk HARD Stor E 3.5 "and spend a few days in windows does not recognize the HARD drive. Try to connect the drive to other USB 2 ports and nothing happens. Use a USB to see if has been a problem with the USB ports, but all 3 are OK. Try it on the laptop Asus and windows 7 recognizes the HARD disk. I formatted the drive in NTFS FS. In managing records do not show the external HARD disk. What can I do to fix this?

    My laptop is a Qosmio F60

    This is a really silly situation. It can be recognized by other laptops but not your Qosmio.
    According to the description of your HARD drive when connected simply doesn t exist for your Qosmio laptop.

    Some other HDD is recognized correctly?
    What you can try is to reinstall the chipset driver, restart the laptop and test it again.

    Since when you have this problem? Some installed updates of the last days?

  • Satellite A205-S4777 - XP does not recognize the HARD drive

    Hello!

    Recently I buyed a new satellite Toshiba A205-S4777 with Windows Vista home premium installed
    and I noticed too many errors in Windows Vista and the pc is very slow so I decided to downgrade to XP

    I want to directly install Windows XP but the installer does not recognize the hard drive or more exactly controllers!

    I nLite Sata drivers in Windows Xp Sp2, I bought on the microsoft.com site!

    Everything worked well.
    The Installer recognized fine hard and Setup finallased!

    But here's the problem when loading windows and try to pass on gorge yourself sort of blue screen one unreadable!

    And restarts and let, it does all day the same thing!

    I'm afraid that I have not nLite the right drivers.

    Is there anyone Heve downgraded this model?
    Thanx

    Hello

    Maybe you did not use good SATA driver?  :| Who knows
    The point is that there are two different versions of Intel Matrix Storage Manager supports different chipsets.
    I put t know what chipset is in charge of your laptop but you should check this and must also check the description of the Intel Storage Manager and check what chipsets are supported.

    Hello.

    I have a Qosmio F30-112.
    I tried to install the Windows XP Professional instead of the Media Center edition.
    However, during the execution of the installer, my laptop does not recognize the hard drive. Therefore, the installation cannot continue.

    I thought it might be a problem of corruption with my laptop and reinstalled Media Center Edition successfully.
    But when I try to install XP Professional it always gives me the same error.

    Suggestions for the configuration of the BIOS or solutions for why this is happening?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Just a question:
    You are looking for in this forum for other similar issues with regard to the installation of Win XP and lack HARD drive? I doubt

    The fact is that your notebook has a SATA controller and you need a SATA (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) driver.

    You should have a look here in this doc from Toshiba:
