• External hard drive not detected with the error: "You must format the disk in the J: drive until you can use it."

  Hello

  I have an external hard drive to work perfectly. I'm back from vacation, and it does not appear under "My Computer". It appears under "Devices and printers", however. This is a link to a screencap of Device Manager: http://i.gyazo.com/9e91e1d71ed32c55dba0419e79b499d5.png

  The device in question is that of J:, and it says here that he has 100% free space, that worries me, because he had only 50 GB of free space when I used the latter. After that I open the disk management, I get a pop up message saying: "You must format the disk in the J: drive until you can use it."

  How can I get my hard drive appears again?

  Thank you

  Hi Robert,.

  Thanks for the screenshot of your system information.

  As you can see in the screenshot, on the right side, the Description indicates that this is a CD-ROM drive, it means that it's a player-CD (Read Only Memory) which can only read the discs, but cannot write data to the disk. You may need to replace it with a CD/DVD burner drive for read/write drives.

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

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

  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

• 23 - k027c: ERROR: no boot disk was detected or drive failed

  Hello!

  My computer

  HP Envy tilt 23-k027c TouchSmart all-in-One desktop PC (energy star)

  These latest OS Windows 10 (update of Windows 8, which was preinstalled on the computer at the time of the purchase in December 2013)

  Intel (r) Core (TM) 15-457OT CPU @ 2.90 GHz

  Processor speed 2900 MHz

  A few days ago it started showing blue screens of death with a PAGE_FAULT_in_NONPAGED_AREA note all other hours, or sometimes 3 times per hour.

  I went through all the troubleshooting process, finished with a bluescreen debugging possible analysis demonstrating that the ntoscrnl.exe driver might cause the blue screen issue.  And on the morning of the next day my computer greated me with a black screen with an ERROR: no boot disk was detected or drive failed.

  I can still get into the BIOS by pressing ESC at the present time of HP sign appear early attempts to restart.

  BIOS indicates that the hard disk is detected (yay!), so it is not the source of the problem.

  Memory and disk test went well passed, PASSED tests successfully.

  Pushing ' restore the original and exit "in the bios does not help.

  Nothing else works. Only these two ESC and F10 keys.

  How can I fix the system?

  I don't have a HP with PC Restore disc when I bought it. Site Web of HP didn't kits of restoration for the moment.

  What to do?

  SOS help, please!

  It is the computer that I use for work and personal use. There are gigabytes of photos of my family, as well, who desperately, I don't want to lose...

  I'll be super thankful for all reasonable advice and direct instructions!

  The ' ERROR: no boot disk was detected or drive failed. "  May be a simple solution to redo the botmanager file.  This normally requires a bootable DVD with the repair function or a USD bootable with windows and repair function.  Windows 10 is installed, this would be my choice getting either the drive or the USB key.  HERE IS THE MEDIA tool of M$.  Make the work of another PC, DVD or USB and then - on PC - start problem that media and choose repair when loading of the POPup screen.  DO NOT install.  If you install it, it will eliminate your data.

  BTW: 10 Windows is installed, the HP recovery disk will return the PC to Windows 8.

  Hi Arman,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I would say you can remove the drive letter M: using disk management and assign a different drive for the drive letter and check if it helps you to solve the problem and if the drive works very well.

  To change the drive letter in disk management follow the steps below:

  a. open computer by clicking the Start> Control Panel > system and security> Administrative Tools > computer management. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  (b) in the left pane, click disk management.

  c. click the drive that you want to change and then click change drive letter and paths.

  d. do one of the following:

  • For letter an if it has not already received, click Add, click the letter you want to use and then click OK.
  • To change a drive letter, click change, click assign the following drive letter, click the letter you want to use, and then click OK.
  • To remove a drive letter, click Remove, and then click Yes to confirm that you want to remove.

  Additional information:

  Change, add, or remove a drive letter

• Qosmio X 70-B-10 t - internal error of power after updating the graphics driver

  Hello world

  Ive not long has this laptop and every time I install the AMD Catalyst software on it so I can use the AMD graphics card I get a BCOD telling me error of internal power followed continuous restarts with the same error before system restores a delay before the installation of the driver. This is with Windows 8.1 because I have not upgraded to Windows 10 as of yet.

  I tried to install the latest drivers about 4 times now, but the same thing over and over again. As soon as the installation of system software and restarting the laptop for the changes takes place, the internal power error starts. Someone know how to fix this or should I take the laptop under warranty?

  I know that the fault of power internal but only as part of the Windows 10

  It has already been discussed in this thread
  https://Forum.Toshiba.EU/showthread.php?83849

  The problem was related to the AMD graphics driver and Windows system and this has been resolved by Windows update.
  If you get the BSOD install the AMD, so the current driver disk could not be fully compatible with your system 8.1 Win.

  Also the missing system update may be due this... so make sure your OS 8.1 Win is already up to date and use the reader to AMD released by Toshiba.

• Error reading from disk after the installation of windows xp

  Ideas:

  • I got a new hard drive installed by professionals. I went to install Windows XP on my computer. He passed through the first stage, but after copying the files, it wouldn't restart. That repeatedly brings me to a screen that says: a disk read error occurred press Ctrl alt delete to restart and then it looks like it will restart but hten goees return the same screen. How can it be a disk error if it is passed by the installer and I've never touched the disc later? Now, I can't do anything with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Do not install an operating system is usually caused by (in order of probability):

  1. you are trying to install with other devices connected to the computer. Unplug them before trying to make an installation.

  2. "" "" defective installation media. "" Check the CD/DVD installation for scratches, tasks. Try another machine.

  3. bad optical drive. Test with another CD/DVD bootable or Exchange for a well-known work.

  4. faulty RAM. Test with Memtest86 + www.memtest.org . You will download the .iso image file to create a bootable cd. Burn the file with the third party burning software *-as an image, not in the form of data. Then start with the media that you did (you may need to change the boot priority in your BIOS so that the optical drive is the first boot device). The test runs immediately. The test run for an hour or two--at least that errors are seen immediately. If you get any errors, replace the RAM.

  A good free choice ImgBurn comes from www.imgburn.com .

  5. bad hard drive. Test with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr... You create a bootable CD with the files you download. Burn the file with a third-party burning software - image, not in the form of data. Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.

  (Note: since you just replaced your hard drive is probably not the cause.) However, you should always test because it is not uncommon that new hard drives to the failure of the box.)

• Error message when you install the printer driver

  First of all, let me tell you that I was searching and tried solutions for ten days, but can not solve the problem.

  My HP P1102w printer is three years old and is connected to my PC via a USB cable. It is not a shared printer. It worked correctly until 10 days ago. Suspecting corruption driver, I downloaded the latest version of the driver on the HP website. When you try to install it, I met with this error message:

  Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it.

  In the printer driver is not compatible with a policy enabled on your computer that blocks NT 4.0

  If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit their website and check the support.
  My PC OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Let me know what additional information may be required.

  Please sent me useful information.

  Thank you so much.you sent slove my problem how.

  It seems that the problem was due to corrupted driver files that were not replaced when I reloaded the drivers. I was able to solve the problem by deleting the files in the driver manually. I followed the following steps:
  step 1:
  Check out C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository and delete everything that associated the P1102w printer, such as the hp1100.inf_amd64_neutral_56c36f106bed03b4 folder. If I remember correctly, there are two or three similar files that I deleted.
  step 2:
  Then I tried * 1102 on the path c:/windows/system32 and removed from files that have been associated with the P1102W printer.
  step 3:
  I'm not sure that this step is need, or you need to do this step before the other steps. However, in this step, I ran uninstall. exe from the HP driver CD supplied with the printer. After about 10 minutes I forcely closed the uninstall.exe process in Windows Task Manager because the uninstall process seemed to be hung.
  step 4:
  I ran setup.exe from the HP CD supplied with the printer and the printer installed successfully.
  I hope this answer helps anyone with a similar problem.

• My internal SATA HDD recognised by XP in the removable drive

  Hi, I have currently updated my PC with the new HARD SATA 3 drive and connected to the motherboard using SATA 3 controller card. The problem is that XP see my hard drive as a removable drive. Is it possible to fix this. I already tried with latest BIOS update and the installation of motherboard readers, but it does not solve the problem.

  Help you enjoy!

  Hi Darijan,

  Try using a different location on the map. Also try using another SATA cable with two slots.

  If you are not comfortable doing so, I suggest that you take help from someone who has some knowledge about it.
