• Tecra S3: SATA hard drive not recognized after XP updates

  Windows has recently completed an automatic update on a Tecra S3 equipped with a 60 GB HARD drive SATA.
  After the reboot required for updaates windows generates a BSOD.

  I've traced the error and found that the system can not find the hard drive.
  Even when I use the XP cd and restore/repair console without a hard drive is located.

  When I check the BIOS hard drive is there.
  I removed the hard drive and used an external case and determined that the hard drive works fine.

  Hello

  Tecra S3 supports RAID.
  In order to install Win XP RAID driver is needed!

  The RAID driver can be found on the European driver Toshiba page.
  It s a v 1.01.0005 for Win XP.

  You can include the RAID driver using nLite. This free tool allows you to include the RAID driver in the Win XP disc.
  Google for nLite for more details.

  I bought my 1.5 terrabyte toshiba external hard drive just for more than a year. It works fine on my other computer, laptop and cell phone from my boyfriend, but when I joined four other new laptops (all different brands) recently it was not recognized at all on these laptops.

  Is there something wrong with my outside or something on these computers it prevents to be recognized? Do you know how I can fix this problem?

  Maybe on the new laptops the antivirus or firewall blocks access to the external hard drive. Check your security software and to allow external devices.

• External drive not recognized

  Hi all

  I unplugged a USB external drive for a few days of my Netgear RN102. Now, when I've reconnected, the Nas does not recognize the disc. The data is safe, if I connect the drive directly to a PC, I see all the folders and files.

  Is there a way to see the drive on the NAS without erasing it?

  Thank you

  Marcello

  Indicate your logs

  volume is dirty and 'force' flag is not set

  If you hang the external drive to your PC and fix you should be able to then reconnect to the NAS.

• Western digital external drive not recognized in windows 7

  Hello

  I bought a new external hard drive (elements Western digital 1 TB) and my laptop is also new (windows 7).

  When I connect my external hard drive, its getting detected in the bottom right of the machine by displaying a small icon. considering that, the external hard drive is not displayed in my computer.

  In disk management, his appears as Disk1, on right click on it, getting only "convert the dynamic disk' and 'Properties' are enabled.

  In disk management, in the list of volumes, 5 empty volumes are also there. Right click on these only "Delete Volume" is enabled. "Change drive letter and paths" is disabled.

  Please help me solve this problem.

  Thank you.

  Yo!

  A bit of a ball in the twilight. I'm wondering is someone else had this unit, tried to change the way it has been implemented and "messed up." I would take this one back and get another - especially if you got it in one of the "big box" stores If you're inclined to try to fix it, be aware that this may affect your ability ot return it for Exchange or credit. Depends the seller policies.

  Right mouse click have the drive in the list to see the options. If they are correctly set, it may be possible to simply assign a drive letter to each volume of 'empty' If this configuration is OK with you.

  Otherwise, the fix would involve will use the facilities of disc to remove the present volumes, and then creating one or more. Make sure that you choose to format the logical disks as and assign it a drive letter. See the Windows Help system.

  Let us know.

• Toshiba 1 TB drive external DRIVE not recognized anymore

  Hello

  I recently bought a HARD Toshiba 1 TB drive that my Qosmio G50 now refuses to recognize.

  Anyone know if I would be able to open it and put the hard drive into one of these sata hdd docking stations I've seen announced?

  The hard drive contains about 500 GB of movies, etc.
  These I need access ASAP, so I don't want to go to the trouble of sending it back to the seller and expects a return, as well as all of the rigmarole that goes with it.

  Kind regards...

  Hello

  You can try to open the external HARD disk enclosure, but you shouldn't t forget that then you will lose the warranty.
  So think about it!

  In your case, I would like to send the HARD drive to a service provider authorized. Then you can fix.

  Data on the external HARD disk enclosure but normally should not be stored on the external HARD disk enclosure. I have my data stored on the laptop and an external HARD drive.

• Compaq Presario DVD/CD drive not recognized after upgrade to 8.1 Windows

  Hello, I recently updated my SR5601UK to Windows 8.1, and he ceased to recognize the CD-ROM drive in Windows.

  The last disc it read was the 8.1 upgrade disk.

  I checked the power and data cables and the two are connected, Bios, recognizes that I checked for upper and lower buffers in the registry and there is nothing to remove.

  No CD/DVD drive is listed in the section 'Devices & readers' on 'This PC' or in 'Device Manager '.

  The powers of disc when a disc is inserted, but nothing appears on the screen.

  I can only find drivers/firmware on the site HP for XP, Vista and 7, but nothing for 8, so cannot say if it is a firmware/driver problem.

  HP Web site says spec of the car but not the manufacturer, so I had trouble finding the update.

  Hello:

  See if the resolution steps 2, 3, 4 or 5 solves the problem.

  One usually does.
