• HARD drive is not recognized on the Satellite 2800 200

  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.

• 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

• Satellite L100: CD/DVD drive is not recognized in the Bios or workstation

  Satellite L100 - 170 No.PSLA3E model 02501QEN under Win XP.

  The icon of the CD/DVD drive has disappeared from the desktop and is not listed in the Device Manager or showing in the BIOS.
  There is power to the drive and the tray ejects OK
  I tried to use the ease of adding new hardware in the Control Panel, but it does not list a CD player.
  I removed the disc and then re - it sitting, but it made no difference.

  I used the restoration of the system for the last available date 26 January 08, but it does not restore the CD player... and I have none, he worked at that time.
  I don't think it's a faulty drive, because he is picking up power and when you insert a CD, it starts as if she was about to read the disc, but nothing appears on the screen.

  The laptop belongs to a child with autism and all I can get out he is "I don't know" when asked what happened to the laptop.
  Sorry I don't have any other information.

  Can anyone help.

  Thank you

  Jan

  Well, usually if the CD/DVD drive doesn t appear in the BIOS or BIOS cannot recognize the ODD then chances are that the CD/DVD drive is malfunctioning.

  But the best way to check this is a new installation of the OS. You should try to boot from a bootable XP CD.
  If the laptop would be able to boot from the CD, then the material is ok.

• new drive HARD Seagate Barracuda not recognized in the BIOS

  Hello

  The Inspiron 530 desktop computer BIOS does not recognize my new HARD drive. It's a Seagate Barracuda 500 GB (ST3500413AS). I try to reinstall Vista, but installation can't find a drive with 3.9 GB. Wrong type of drive in the BIOS found, I think that.

  Tried several things, but no results: check the BIOS, but with automatic selection drive only to find a 4 GB (wrong type), updated the BIOS drive (now 1.0.18), tried several drivers with startup etc.

  Think I need a good driver, but on the site Web of Seagate, they say that there is no firmware for this drive.

  can someone help me?

  THX, David

  Thanks for all the support.

  It wasn't a problem with the SATA 3 or something like that, but the HARD drive was missing. There is no other choice. Come back with my HARD drive (and information) to the store and finally got a new. I hope that the other works :)

  THX and greetings

  Hey,.

  I checked the Web from Toshiba site and it seems that you need RAID driver for install Windows properly. The driver is required to get recognized hard drives

  It seems that this driver is available for XP and 2000 only because the laptop is old enough, I think that Yes it doesn't support Vista or Windows 7 I think. You can only try the XP driver. If it doesn t work you must use the operating system preinstalled Toshiba were all working properly! :)

• Satellite A200 PSAF6A - HARD drive is not recognized. No recovery of product

  The drive HARD in my Toshiba Satellite A200 PSAF6A-0US01N is not recognized in the machine or any other computer, so I can't run any windows/toshiba repair.

  I know that readers have a factory reset hidden on the disc and press 0 to the power upward, but with the unreadable disk, how can I repair my installation of Windows Vista?

  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

• Satellite A60 - replacement HD not recognized in the BIOS

  I have an A60 which began to shut down and not start.
  I tried to use the restore CD that has reinstalled the operating system, but the laptop still not managed to start after that.

  I suspected that the HD failed and bought a toshiba 40gig drive replacement. I have installed the new drive but and been in the BIOS (F2 and F1), but the BIOS indicates there is no HD installed.

  The recovery CD installs saying there no drive selected.

  Can anyone offer any help or advice on what I can try next?

  Here are some technical details.

  Laptop Toshiba A60-672
  old MK4025GAS (40gig) drive
  spare MK4026GAT (40gig) drive

  Thank you
  Phil

  > I have an A60 which began to shut down and not start.
  I tried to use the restore CD that has reinstalled the operating system, but the laptop still not managed to start after that.
  For me, it looks more like an overheating problem caused by the internal temperature.
  It is a typical problem if the cooling fans are clogged and that air can circulate properly.

  > I thought the HD failed and bought a toshiba 40gig drive replacement. I have installed the new drive but and been in the BIOS (F2 and F1), but the BIOS indicates there is no HD installed.
  One of my friends has updated the own Satellite with the new HARD drive and the HARD drive was not recognized by the BIOS due to the assignment of the PIN wrong and riders Check this!

• A SSD from OCZ Agility 3 disc works with a dv9700T? Mine is not recognized by the BIOS.

  I bought a 120 GB OCZ SSD Agility 3 disc to install in my laptop the dv9700T CTO.  The drive is not recognized by the BIOS when it is installed in the Bay of 1 or 2, but is recognized when connected via USB as a secondary drive.  The drive works fine in a different computer, so I know the drive works.  There seems to be a problem with the SATA (ICH8) controller.

  Someone at - it any information on that?  Would love to get the drive works in my laptop.

  Thank you.

  Lloyd

  If you have a HARD drive installed in the secondary Bay and the OCZ SSD in the first Bay, the dv9700t starts and works very well.

• New HARD drive is not recognized on Tecra M1

  Hello

  I am new to this forum, so apologies if this is an old question.

  My Tecra M1 gave a quality service for the past 6 years, but recently, the Toshiba management console has put a message saying that the HARD drive will fail quickly.

  I loaded immediately turned off my main files before you remove the HARD drive. It is a Toshiba MK6022gax 60 gig IDE hard drive. I bought a new disc of gigabytes of 60 MK6022gax, but when I mounted this same I got the error message "error ide #0". Installation XP or the BIOS can see this new record.

  I then reassembled the old HARD drive, which started OK. I then mounted the new disk in a USB enclosure, initialized, partitioned and quick formatted using the XP disk management. He picked up OK. Then I copied some files to it and read them back with no problems, then the drive itself works very well. But when I plug as the main 'C' drive, I get the error message again and is not recognized by the bios or XP put in place.

  Clearly, there is some BIOS (?) or startup procedure I have to do to get this recognized record. Help!

  I have Tecra M1 long with 60 GB HARD drive. Right now, I've updated compatible HDD TOSHIBA HDD 2184 B.
  I can confirm that the HARD drive is recognized correctly and I actually have the new install of WXP Pro.

  In any case, have you tried to upgrade the BIOS to the default settings?
  As far as I know that nothing should be set before you put the new HARD drive and it must be recognized correctly.

• Art of STOR E external 1.5 TB hard drive is not recognized by Vista

  I have a HARD drive that I brought in Europe, it was working fine and all of a sudden when I turn it on, is now telling me one of the devices USB has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize.

  I can hear the HDD spining, and you can feel the playhead to move when you turn it on, would that be a driver or a firmware issue?

  I have a lot of backup data about it as I can't afford to lose, then it would remove and put it directly into my computer to see if I can read it?

  > I can hear the HDD spining, and you can feel the playhead to move when you turn it on, would that be a driver or a firmware issue?

  You can try to connect to any other computer external HARD drive. If it would not then he s seems to be hardware problem.
  Of course, it is s to connect the HARD drive directly to a HARD drive controller to see if the BIOS recognizes the HARD drive maybe it would be your last resort

• 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.

• IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

  I have a MacBook from 2008. 4 years ago I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive. I have thousands if photos on it. IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

  < re-titled by host >

  I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive.

  Did you move the iPhoto library for the external hard drive or the iPhoto application, or both?

  How is formatted the external hard drive? Is the file system on the drive Mac OS extended (journaled) or other system files?  Is the drive directly connected by USB or similar, or is it a SIN?

  IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times.

  I don't understand - if you force quit smoking, launches the application, or you can not force it quit?

  IPhoto is suspended without doing anything, when you launch?

  What version of iPhoto does? And what version of Mac OS X?

• Hard drive is not reflected in the list of disks

  Device Manager recognizes a disk but the disk management does not show in the list of disks (affected/not allocated).  You want to set up and assign a drive letter.   Thank you.   Russ

  < original="" title:="" disk="" management="">

  Hello Russell,

  Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

  With the publication of the description, I understand that the hard drive is not reflected in the list of disks on your Windows 7 operating system. I will certainly help you get this problem.

  This problem can occur because of incorrect settings. In order to solve the problem, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if this is useful:

  Method 1: Troubleshooting hardware and devices

  Integrated the hardware and devices troubleshooter can automatically detect and fix most of the incorrect settings and errors that could cause problems with the equipment. I suggest you run the troubleshooter to check if there is no problem with the graphics card. See albums as follows:

  1. open Control Panel

  2. click Troubleshooting and select the option to display all on the left pane.

  3. click Troubleshooting of hardware and devices and follow the prompts.

  Try Method 2, if the problem persists

  Method 2: Make sure that the drive is enabled

  Follow the below mentioned steps to make sure that the drive is enabled:

  1. click on start and type device manager in the search box

  2. click on Device Manager in the control panel list

  3 locate the drives item in the list, and then click the small arrow to the right to expand the list of readers

  If a disk is disabled you will see an icon with an arrow pointing down on the icon of the hard disk

  If you see an icon with an arrow pointing down on the hard drive icon, double-click the icon and click on the button Activate peripheral

  4 then click on activate a device dialog box, click Next, and then click on finish

  5. click Close, and then close the Device Manager window

  Note: If you do not see your hard drive in the listed readers, the player is not detected by Windows.

  Note: If you receive an error message when the hard disk is activated, you can have a bad hard drive.

  Hope the helps of information. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.
