Hard drive does not correctly identified under Win7 64 bit and the blocking of access to the disk.

I use a Maxtor Ultra 16 L01F500 SATA, but Win7 (64 bit) is to identify it as a SCSI drive Maxtor L100P0. He not only identifies by mistake, but also blocks access. I get an error indicating that the location is not accessible. Under computer management, the drive is there and gives the correct size and format (NTFS - was previously my main drive until I upgraded to Win7) when we look under properties. Also, Windows shows the drive is healthy and active. Don't know what to do to get access again (I have admin access to the player thought that would help). I also ran the disk error checking and it showed no errors. You don't know why Win7 has misidentified or why it will not allow access. Any info or help would be appreciated. I can't seem to find the drivers for the drive, otherwise I would have tried that. Thanks for reading.

In disk management, remove this disk partitions, and then create a new partition

  • HARD drive does not correctly formatting

    Hello everyone, I've just added a new SSD on my PC and added 10 Windows. I works perfectly but my orginal HDD, (ST31000524AS) which came in my XPS 8300 when I bought a few years isn't right formatting.

    Ive been stuck on formatting in disk management and 100%, it shows the HARD drive as two separate volumes (since the start of the formatting) without drive letter and on shows a RAW file system and the second shows no file system, but he also 'formatting '. : (100%).

    I intend leaving the PC on the rest of the day, but is there anything else I can do?

    This drive was the original OS disc with 4 partitions on this topic from Dell. Which included the recovery I also added to the OS partition to format.

    All the partitions have been deleted, and I did make a new and format. It was weird. He got stuck on 100% and a person of Toms Hardware suggested a reboot. Once the reboot is finished, the drive has been formatted. I assigned the reader of the letter and everything was fixed. Thank you very much!

  • Seagate 2 TB external hard drive does not register

    I almost always took care to disconnect the drive safely, and continued to work well when he is accidentally unplugged (only happened 3 - 4 times). Today he did not appear in the office or in the finder, the responses in this thread, external HARD drive Seagate will appear not in place were a little helpful but did not fix my problem. Here are some of the facts of the case, somehow:

    • I use a 2012 MacBook Pro running El Capitan with a 1 TB hard drive (this was added later when the original drive has failed)
    • External hard disk was used to transfer large files a bit to a laptop running Windows 8 and was not ejected safely from this computer
    • The reader is displayed correctly on other MacBooks (tested today) and all files are in order.
    • The drive appears in the report of the system but does not appear in the disk utility.
    • The drive does not appear in the Seagate dashboard that was installed when the car was purchased.
    • The drive has two partitions: one for Time Machine and the other to the format to work on Mac and Windows to store normal files.
    • My MacBook has been impossible to open a .dmg file today, unconnected with. I do not have this issue.

    I'd appreciate any help you can give. Thank you!

  • 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 :(

  • 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.

    Hi cluess in chicago,.

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    I suggest that you check in Disk Manager if the drive is detected and more later assign the drive letter, check if it works.
