• New HARD drive is not recognized on Tecra M1

  Hello

  I am new to this forum, so apologies if this is an old question.

  My Tecra M1 gave a quality service for the past 6 years, but recently, the Toshiba management console has put a message saying that the HARD drive will fail quickly.

  I loaded immediately turned off my main files before you remove the HARD drive. It is a Toshiba MK6022gax 60 gig IDE hard drive. I bought a new disc of gigabytes of 60 MK6022gax, but when I mounted this same I got the error message "error ide #0". Installation XP or the BIOS can see this new record.

  I then reassembled the old HARD drive, which started OK. I then mounted the new disk in a USB enclosure, initialized, partitioned and quick formatted using the XP disk management. He picked up OK. Then I copied some files to it and read them back with no problems, then the drive itself works very well. But when I plug as the main 'C' drive, I get the error message again and is not recognized by the bios or XP put in place.

  Clearly, there is some BIOS (?) or startup procedure I have to do to get this recognized record. Help!

  I have Tecra M1 long with 60 GB HARD drive. Right now, I've updated compatible HDD TOSHIBA HDD 2184 B.
  I can confirm that the HARD drive is recognized correctly and I actually have the new install of WXP Pro.

  In any case, have you tried to upgrade the BIOS to the default settings?
  As far as I know that nothing should be set before you put the new HARD drive and it must be recognized correctly.

• Qosmio F20 - new HARD drive is not recognized correctly

  I have a F20-153, just replace HD with Western Digital WD2500BEVE 250 GB that appears only 120 GB.
  Everything works fine (Windows, everything) but * I can't bring up BIOS at startup to all top-most *.

  Yes tried all combinations of keys F1 to F12, even tried under a full moon while that Peel an orange. I can't update the BIOS because the site says I last 1.40

  Can anyone help before you start sacrificing poultry?

  Hello

  First of all, it is not normal that appears only 120 GB instead of 250 GB., I don't know much about your model, but I guess there are limits, which means that the laptop can only handle drives up to 120.
  Try to remove your new HD and replace the old one to see if you are able to enter the Bios.

• Hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS - Equium A60

  Hi hope someone can help. I have a Toshiba Equium EA60-173 and the hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS. When I remove the hard drive and put it in another laptop it is detected fine. I also tried another hard drive in the Toshiba and that does not work either. So I suspect the IDE controller has disappeared, but can I do to confirm this? I wish there was an option in the BIOS to force detection. I updated the BIOS but still the same.

  This laptop is only just out of warranty, so if it is the controller would I need to replace the motherboard? Are there other options at my disposal?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Neil,

  Unless there is some physical\problem with the cable/connector hard drive, then it is most likely that you will have a new mainboard for your laptop. I suggest you to contact an authorized service partner and ask them to check your laptop and give you an estimate of the cost of the repair. Then you can try to shop for less expensive alternatives.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro 2100 - new HARD drive is not booting

  Hello
  I wanted to update my SP2100 with a WD1200BEVE. (120 GB of WD).

  Copy of disk via USB + speakers worked, but after changing the disc nine does not start: the laptop hangs up with blinking cursor.
  Already checked that the partition is active and even a new installation from a CD of XP has the same result! The BIOS seems to accept the drive (if not installing via CD should have failed) so where is the problem?

  Any tips?

  Hi Kannengiesser,

  Which is really strange that you can t start up disk even it s recognized in BIOS correctly...

  You have the Toshiba Recovery disk? If so, you can try this disc factory settings. If it works, it was just an installation problem.

  But I couldn't imagine also that the new HARD drive is not working properly last week I had a similar problem. Made a HARD drive upgrade, but a few days later Windows didn't start because the HARD drive had a bad sector, now I'm waiting for a replacement drive.

• 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

  Are you from the Australia? If you need a recovery disk, I recommend contacting the local Toshiba ASP to get this drive

• External hard drive is not recognized

  My external hard drive is not recognized by windows, the led lights up but no display on 'my computer '.

  Try it on another computer, if it doesn't, it could be a bad cable or hard drive box. Use a different cable or an enclosure.

  If it works on another computer, on your computer check the disk, if it is displayed in computer management. In Explorer, right click on "Computer", click 'manage '. Under computer management, storage, click on "disk management". If it is showing a right click on it, click on «Change drive letter and path...» ", click the"Edit"button and then assign a drive letter.

  Or if the reader is displayed, you can check in the Device Manager. In the device under Universal Serial Bus controllers Manager looking for the drive generally a mass storage device, right-click on it, uninstall and then restart. If does not uninstall everything under USB controllers, then restart your computer.

• Re: Tecra 9100 - new HARD drive is not detected

  I have a Toshiba Harddisk provide a Tecra 9100. Checking the BIOS it shows "Enhanced IDE", but you are trying to boot from the disc does not work HARD. Even trying to install a new operating system present, that the HARD drive is not detected.
  From the laptop is also very long.
  Any idea?

  Your new HARD drive is larger than 120 GB? The HARD disk controller supports the 28-bit LBA and large drives as 120 GB will not be recognized by the BIOS.

  What you mean with Enhanced IDE? The BIOS recognizes the new HARD drive with model number?

• New 500 GB HARD drive is not recognized correctly

  What is happening, I replaced the drive HARD than Go 150 original after about 18 months, again, now a year later, that the drive seems to have died too, so I bought a new seagate 500 GB drive HARD for it, the BIOS said it s it, but vista CD dies just when it is trying to install, CD WXP can t see the drive at all, but I expected that when WXP is older , but Vista I expected to work.

  So here's the thing, I put the new HARD drive in my desktop PC and he found in the BIOS no worries, then I started the Vista CD and again no probs, Vista installed without worries, then I put the HARD drive in the lappy and once again he can t read it, so it s not a Vista thing , it seems that it s the lappy itself

  Is this a problem with the Toshiba BIOS, or is it a physical problem where the Toshiba is struggling in reading ANY player?

  It s driving me crazy.

  And what model of laptop do you have?

  Generally upgrade HARD drive should not be a problem. I assume that your laptop's HARD drive with SATA interface and I sure you bought the right of Mr. I've upgraded or because of the experiences on several laptops equipped new hard disks and all of them were still properly recognized and I was able to install original Toshiba Recovery (recovery DVD) on this subject image.

  Maybe you have an older model A200 and perhaps he has some compatibility issues with new hard disks. I will be 100% sure works perfectly with HARD drive up to 300 or 400 GB maybe.

  Do you use Toshiba Recovery for the Vista installation disc or original disc of Microsoft?

  BTW: WXP is unclear due to lack of driver SATA HARD drive.

• Satellite M30x - new HARD drive does not work

  Hello.

  I am installing a new ATA 2.5 "internal hard drive for my Toshiba M30X-166. The drive is a Seagate Momentus 5400.3 120 GB model. The laptop does not recognize the disc and no related error message appears, and in the BIOS, it shows as "HD not available."

  I put this drive in an external USB - IDE enclosure and was detected by my desktop PC, and I was able to partition and format the Momentus, so I know the drive is indeed work, but my M30X still does not detect the drive.

  What can I do to make the laptop recognize this unit? The BIOS M30X is: Phoenix EAL20 version 1.90.

  Thanks for your help.

  Hello!

  Have you tried another HARD drive? The new HARD drive is may not compatible with the laptop or does work does not correctly.

  Normally, a 120 GB HARD drive should work because the laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits and so you can only use hard drives 120 GB.
  In the worst cases, the HARD disk on the motherboard controller is defective :(

  Good bye

• New hard drive does not appear in the disk utility

  I am installing a new hard drive in my late 2011 13 "MacBook Pro. I started using apple's online retrieval system and went to disk utility. I tried to format the drive, but he is stuck saying "remove disc" for about a half hour, and then I had a rotation beach ball and could not move the cursor. I restarted the computer and now the drive does not appear in the disk utility. Any help is appreciated as I have no idea where to go from here.

  Thank you.

  You will may be turned off and check that your hard drive is correctly positioned with all the screws tight.

• Can't reinstall XP service pack 3 on the new hard drive, will not cross of EULA

  Computer VOstro 220 (Dell) under the age of 18 months. Internal HD died and was replaced two weeks ago with a HD internal 320, the speed of 7200 Western Digital. (Micro Center, a computer store large installed the HD that I bought at the store)

  I used the OEM "reinstall Windows XP service Pack 3" DVD.  With F12 I put the computer to boot from the DVD.

  DVD boots, I chose the option to install the OS

  Fisrt I see the message that the program checks the material. No error message

  Then I see the screen with the words "Windows Setup". Five minutes later, Microsoft EULA (end-user contract) is displayed.  IT does not scroll, I used the arrow keys on the keyboard to get at the end of the EULA was waiting for some kind of "type option"I agree". But there is nothing.

  Nothing more happens. No additional configuration.

  What is the problem? What should I do to get the Windows XP installation to continue?

  Why not install the operating system?

  Anywhere between 5 and 20% (depending on the production) new hard disks are defective. Test your drive with the factory utility.

• R51 new HARD drive will not restore factory correctly state with discs

  I caught a HDD of 80 GB on old computer my gf, and I thought I would use it to replace the 40 GB hard drive in my ThinkPad R51.  There is not really important info on my old hdd, so I just created a factory recovery disks, put on the new hard drive (both are PATA) and ran from Rescue and Recovery.  After completing restore to factory state all the new hard drive will do is Rescue and new Recovery charge.  It does not load Windows.  Is there anything else I need to do?

  Shot in the hip here, but ISTR that some versions of R & R restore the image of 'restoration' in HD, then you restart to R & R and run a restore it to complete the restore of the rest of the car.

  As I said, just something I've seen elsewhere.  Worth, perhaps,

• (brand new) hard drive 0 not found (Latitude D600)

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

  I know this has been discussed a lot, but I have not found a solution.

  My laptop is a Dell Latitude D600, BIOS Version: A16

  My HARD drive died last week, he was making noises that I made backups.

  Of course, one morning I turned it on and it says '... ". hard drive 0 not found... »

  So I thought right we'll buy a new one, no big deal. In this case.

  But to my horror, the brand-spanking-new HARD drive made me exactly the same thing!

  Costs of the antistatic packaging, directly in the cradle, with tenderness.

  "First hard drive 0 not found '.

  No bootable devices - strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for Setup utility.

  Also, the BIOS reads my "main hard drive: ' as 'None '.

  I tried: -.

  -Replace (re-attachment for cradle clamp, tighten, etc..)

  -reset of the BIOS (pressing ALT - F)

  -internal 'HDD' isolation in the "boot order" (BIOS)

  -startup WinXP CD to format (says also that it cannot detect a HARD drive)

  -stroked and tweaked every possible BIOS setting

  -a ran the diagnostics (well Yes, tells me that it cannot find a HARD disk)

  -check the temperature (not a problem at all)

  I bought my D600 to opportunity without boot floppies or manuals, and private security has passed.

  I'll try to take out the battery for a day to see if that will be "flash BIOS" but I can't help you as (to my knowledge) the motherboard settings remain stored with the help of a small battery attached to the actual motherboard that would be inside the envelope, so I think it's a misunderstanding in another post on the forum , but I'll try it in desperation anyway. Next step would be to open the envelope and checking the IDE and remove the battery from the motherboard for 5-10 minutes.

  After that, my only option is to send to some local business PC repair. Ick.

  Any help will be VERY appreciated! Thank you.

  
  

• New hard drive does not start

  I have a T61 with XP on it. The factory hard drive was beginning to show its age, so I got a 500GB WD Black drive for her. I used Acronis True Image to clone the old hard drive to the new. I used my counter top to do the cloning. When I plug the new disk in, the cursor just blinks and it will not start.

  I thought that maybe the clone was bad, so I put the new drive hard back at the top of my desk and is able to boot all the way to the windows start screen. If I plug the old drive in the laptop, it starts very well, simply refuses to boot from the new drive.

  Guessed it.

  Put the new hard drive into the computer, put the old hard drive in a USB enclosure and done a CD boot Acronis, and made the clone of the laptop. Runs like a champ and now flies.
