External hard drive is not recognized and the Table to Partition GUID (GPT) partitioning scheme has message is required (-69773)

Hello!

I have an external HD that has been unplugued without eject by mistake. Since then, the HD is not recognized by the finder or disk utility.

When I list the disk in the Terminal, the drive is listed.

But when I tried to check or repair, a message appears: "failed to check this disc: a Partition GUID (GPT) partitioning schΘma Table is required (-69773).

I can access the files using programs such as Seagate File Recovery, but I want to extract data and repair the disk without using 3rd party software.

Is this possible?

If you have access to the files - a possibility would be to get the files off the disk and then reformat using disk utility

  • 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.

  • 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

  • External hard drive is not recognized after Windows Update

    Original title: XP Pro wants to install driver for external hard drive that is Plug-and-Play

    I think that using Windows Update can cause problems (unintentinally or not) for users of Windows XP.

    In a series of accidents with an old computer and reinstall the XP Pro operating system, I discovered that MS Money installing only if it was made before the Windows updates.  (planned obsolescense?) The issue has to do with the removal of the registry AUTORUN file. INF for some new and improved files through Windows Update.  Before the updates, the file exists, and I could install MS money.  After updates, AUTORUN. Missing INF file of the registry.

    Now, I encountered a new problem, and I think that it is also a result of Windows Update.  My external hard drive to IDE, that worked perfectly before on this computer (newer), is no longer recognized and want to reinstall the driver.

    The problem is that it is a Plug-and-Play device, and no driver was needed before updates.  I read somewhere in my many attempts to find a solution that the MS Plug and Play system was replaced by a universal version of this feature (UPNP?)

    It's on a more recent, computer replacement, which came not with a copy of the Windows XP Pro operating system, and I can't just reformat the hard drive and start all over again.

    Someone else has encountered this, and if so, have you found a solution?

    Double Post suite-

    Where is my external hard drive?

    I'm under XP Pro on a Dell Optiplex PC with all the current Windows updates (SP3. Net4, etc..) and last month, I added a USB IDE hard drive. the hard disk enclosure is MASSCOOL, and I used a 250 GB Seagate Barracuda7800. The car worked perfectly until this week. I had the Windows Update critical update automaticlly value and security updates.

    The hard drive has disappeared from "my computer." I tried to plug and unplug in different USB ports, restarted the computer, but continues to receive the "new hardware detected by saying me that new hardware has been detected and that I need to install the necessary driver.

    The problem is that Seagate does not provide any driver for this drive, because it is supposed to be (and was so far) recognized by the Plug-and-Play of Windows XP software. The hard drive enclosure came with a mini CD, but this contains software to use the unit as a back-up, not for storage.

    I can't understand that this change suddenly to believe that something in the Windows updates that have been installed recently changed the command structure, registry files or the drivers themselves.

    I know this is possible, because I've seen what's happened to any program that relied on self. INF file that was originally part of XP. This resulted in programs like Microsoft Money and older versions of MS Office, not being able to be installed by those of us who are not 'technically lit.

    I'm here in left field, or other people have had similar problems? And is anyone know how to solve this dilemma?

    Hi Pam,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community!

    The external hard drive is not detected.

    The problem may occur if the drive letter is not affected or the hard drive is not enabled.

    What is the model of the unit?

    To check if the drive letter is affected or if the disk is turned on, I suggest you follow the steps in the site:

  • External hard drive will not mount after the update of the Sierra

    Hi, I have an a Segate 1 TB external hard drive that I have with my MacBook Air. After upgrading to Mac OS Sierra, he refused to climb and is therefore invisible in the Finder. Disk utility detects the drive in NTFS initialized and said that all the space has been used. I tried to mount it first through disk utility, but it did nothing. Then I tried via terminal, but he returns "failed to mount. It worked fine before and also works very well on a MacBook Pro running Yosemite. It may be nothing to do with the player, as all files are intact when it is connected to the other Mac. Also, I restarted in Mac utilities and run from there disk utility, and it detected the drive, mounted and fully initialized, with the right amount of space being exhausted.

    I am looking for a solution that does not copy the files off and reformatting if possible, but I'll give it a go, if it comes to that. Thank you very much.

    Most likely your Seagate drivers are not updated.

    NTFS is most likely the culprit here.

    Go to the Seagate site and download and install the latest drivers for your drive and NTFS.

    Hello

    The laptop supports 1 USB 3.0 port and 2 USB 2.0 ports.
    I recommend you connect the external HARD drive to each port (USB 2.0) and USB3.0 just to check if it is not a compatibility problem. But generally, it shouldn't be a big problem to connect a USB 2.0 device to a USB 3.0 external.

    However, it could also be that this external HARD drive needs more than usual 500mA power supplied by a USB 2.0 port. In this case, you must use a USB cable to Y to connect the HARD drive to two USB ports.

  • HARD drive is not recognized on the Satellite 2800 200

    Hello

    First of all, I'm Dutch so I hope that I do not have too many mistakes in my English writing.

    I bought a 2800-200 Satellite at a friend's House. This laptop has a problem.
    When it is started is says "insert the disk in the drive system. Press a key when readya?.

    My bios is ACPI BIOS version 1.80
    In Pheripheral in Bios it says disc hard = not used Mode.

    On page two discs i/o: HARD drive: no drive.

    I tried two hard drives and the two were not working and not recognized in the BIOS.
    I have no CD of restoration.

    My questions:

    What kind of central computer has this laptop?
    Can someone help me with the recovery CD?
    What can I do to fix this?
    How can I change my BIOS so that the HARD drive is recognized?

    My hard drive is MK2023GAS and is not broken. There is nothing on this HARD drive.
    But also with the disk hard 10 GB of origin, I had the same problem.

    I hope you can help me and once again I apologize for my English.

    Hello

    I'll try to help you my friend.

    > When it is started is says "insert the disk in the drive system. Press any key when ready
    This message appeared on my laptop after the HARD disk is dead.
    I had to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the operating system.

    I guess that it of the same problem with your laptop. The HARD drive is not present or not recognized, and you will need to install a compatible HDD for the operation of the OS.

    I have google a bit and discovered that this laptop comes with the 10 GB HARD MK1016GAP of Toshiba drive. It supports the interface ATA-2/ATA-3/ATA-4/ATA-5.

    Please note that many BIOS have a limit of size of HARD drive. This means that not all HARD drive sizes are supported! I assume a 20 GB should be compatible, but this is just my own opinion
    > How can I change my BIOS so that the HARD drive is recognized?
    The BIOS can be modified outside the update (check page driver Toshiba-> Archive-> archive of Satellite).
    But vary important is that you use a compatible HARD drive.

    > Can someone help me with the recovery CD?
    Don t know if you will be able to order this CD at the service provider allowed in your country, because the laptop is really an oldie. But you should ask the guys.
    What you is to install the OS from the Microsoft CD-ROM and then could install drivers needed.

    Hi Peter,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    From your problem description, I understand that you are unable to transfer files from an external drive on another drive. Please let me know if this isn't the problem that you are experiencing.

    Before troubleshooting, I have little information on the issue.

    1. Do you receive any error or display message?
    2. Did you recent hardware or modifications to the software on the computer before this problem?

    Try the methods and then check after each method:

    Method 1: Transfer files from a drive to the location on the desktop or a temporary folder and then try to transfer them to the destination disk.

    Note: make sure the free space on the disk in the destination drive.

    Method 2: Run the Fixit:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_file_and_folder_diag/

    Method 3: Disconnect your player safely, and restart the computer. And then try to transfer the files.

    If the problem persists, post your reply with results and questions above. We are happy to help you further in the advanced troubleshooting steps!

    It will be useful.

  • My external hard drive is not recognized

    Before you start I just want to say that I read all related issues, and although people have had similar problems for me I tried all of the solutions that have worked for them but nothing worked for me. So now, it's the way that...

    I have a Packard Bell Store & Save 3500 external hard drive that I used with my desktop for about 3 years now. It has always worked well before, but recently I plugged on my new laptop running Windows 7 to transfer files, and now when I plug in my desktop PC running Windows XP, it does not appear in my computer. It appears in Device Manager but not on my desktop and shows both disk management on my laptop but in disk management it has a red X on the picture and said that it has not been initialized. When I try to boot it, it then comes up with an error message saying "device is not ready." I really really want to reformat because I have files I want to keep on it and other people say that this has not solved their problem. I've tried everything I can think of and would really appreciate some help on this problem! Thanks in advance.

    PS. Oh, I forgot to say, I don't need to work on my laptop any more I want to just get back on my desktop PC! Thank you, Helen.

    Number of things you could try is use knoppix (option 3) to see if that reads the files. its basically a linux operating system you put on cd and run it from cd. He read windows formatted disks, it takes on the operating system of the equation and you maybe power then copy the data off.

    You can try to pull the hard drive into the usb box... plug directly into the computer, see if it works then, and it backs up like that...
