  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

• 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

• My HARD drive is not recognized by my PC (it was previously connected to a MacBook)

  Hello

  I plugged my WD HDD (model WD2500ME-01) to a Black MacBook and it was recognized as a 'Time Machine' drive.
  Now I plug it to my PC (Windows XP Home Edition) and the drive is not recognized, no 'letter' is not assigned to the player. Drive HARD watch as "healthy (protection GPT Partition) under 'computer management' window and I can't assign a letter on the HARD disk."
  I don't want to format the drive, I just need to save some files to it (a few concerts info).
  I was told that the use of a "Data Disc Recovery Tool" that reads the GPT Partitions will help me.

• Satellite C650 - USB ports not recognized in Device Manager

  When I turned off my cell phone, I lose the use of my two USB ports. The only way I can get back them is to use Device Manager

  Go into the Manager of peripheral devices, Bus USB controllers, there are 6 x Intel ICH9 Family USB Universal Host controller 2 x Intel ICH9 Family USB2 Enhanced Host Controllers and 7 x USB hub root. When I lose the USB ports, USB root hubs seem to disappear, and the only way I can get back them is to uninstall the controllers and then right-click Universal Serial Bus Conrollers for "scan for changes on the hardware. This brings back the root hubs and USB ports work fine... until the computer turns off again.

  Someone at - he encountered this problem and managed to resolve it? Its a hassle to have to go through the uninstall it / Reinstall procedure each time. Your advice will be appreciated.

  Hey Buddy,

  You use the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba or did you install your own version? I don't see any information about the BONES in your ad...
  Theoretically, it could be a software problem so ports USB work correctly if they recognized in Device Manager

  You should also try to update the Web from Toshiba site chipset driver. Maybe it helps.
  Otherwise, I could imagine that the update of the BIOS can also operate and this update you can get on the Web from Toshiba site too.

• 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.

• 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.

• NEW EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE IS NOT RECOGNIZED IN WINDOWS 8, BUT IS PRESENT IN DEVICE MANAGER AND IN DISK MANAGEMENT (NOT ME LEAVES NO ASSIGN A NEW DRIVE LETTER PATH)

  I buy a new drive external hard 2T hard drive (plug-n-play) for my new Windows System. When I launch the device I have here a beep let me know the unit is plugged on my USB (3.0 or 2.0 as it is backward compatible) but when I go to my computer, the device does not appear, and as such I can't use it. When I go to the devices it is recognized and works apparently correctly. After some browsing on the net, I was told that I have to assign a drive letter. Thus entering disk management, the unit is, properly partitioned. However, when I right click on the appropriate partition gout the menu to change the disk path appears but is grayed out, and as such I can't use to assign a path drive letter. I checked to see if I run as administrator which I believe that I am by default when I first activated Windows. Is there anyone who has experienced this same problem or know a fix?

  Thank you very much

  Hi, I solved the problem with help. Because Device Manager wouldn't let me not use the format option I deleted the main partition by right click on the partition and then the wizard formatted the partition to NTFS, as I store a few large recording Daw. During the process of the wizard automatically assigned a letter from path of reader (e) but you can choose other. The drive was originally formatted FAT 32. The main problem I had was in the drop-down list that appears when I just clicked on the primary partition was options of Format and assign new drive letter have been greyed out... the only option left to delete the partition and reformat the drive. It's a new external so I didn't not lose all content.
