• Re: Satellite L500 - HARD drive not recognized in BIOS

  Hi guys,.

  Yesterday, my mother-in-law has been using his computer and play some games. The computer froze and I had to force a shutdown. Upon restart, the computer continued to give the following message is displayed:
  PXE - E61: Media control failure, control cable (or something similar)

  I removed the HARD drive and replaced him, with no avail. I checked the BIOS, and the disc HARD is still not save in there, so not sure the hell happened.

  Anyone has any ideas on this? I'm looking at a new HARD drive otherwise.

  See you soon,.

  Nathan.

  Hey,.

  If the HARD drive is not recognized in the BIOS more I think that it s faulty and you need a new. This is the reason why you get up a PXE boot message initially.

  Is your laptop still under warranty? Then you can get a new HDD to an authorized service provider for free.
  Otherwise, you can buy yourself but it s not expensive. You can use each interface SATA 2.5 HARD drive.

• IDE hard drive not recognized in bios Vostro 200

  My friend gave me his Vostro 200 when she bought a new computer. I took the 130 GB drive HARD from my old computer and installed with a mini vertical bridge Sabrent SBT-SCIDE and a Molex to SATA power adapter. When I booted the computer and check the Bios, it does not appear. I checked the connections, and they agree, then I hung up in the old computer to ensure that it still worked. No problems in the old computer and no errors when I ran the disk check. Re-installed in the Vostro, but still not recognized.

  Did I miss something as controllers or orders at the entrance?

  For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated... ed

  Most of the time these IDE SATA bridges do not work - you may need to try several of them until you find one that does - assuming one will indeed work.  The only reliable method to fix an old IDE drive to a new SATA system is to mount the drive in an external USB box.

• Second SATA hard drive not detected by Bios and Device Manager

  Original title: second SATA hard drive

  Hard drive not detected by the Bios and the device under Vista Home Premiun Manager

  Hi trinitario,.

  Because the hard drive is not detected in the BIOS also, it may be due to a hard drive configuration that should be changed or a rider. If you need to get in touch with a Local tech-store for assistance.

  Note: change in the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

• Hitachi Lifestudio external hard drive not recognized on Windows Vitsa... why?

  I have a hitachi lifestudio external hard drive and it works great 50% of the time... the other 50%, I fight because it not being recognized on my computer or laptop (both vista).  I plugged it to my computer now and it will only recognize the player but is not the one with my files that I need.  I have two USB cords connected and it was working fine yesterday!  Now all of a sudden it won't work at all.  I got and rehooked many times now and still nothing.  Other USB ports are filled with our wireless mouse and others.  Is there a way to force vista to recognize something?

  Hello

  ·          Were there any changes made to your computer before this problem?

  Step 1: Try running Microsoft fix it in the following article:

  See also: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Tips-for-solving-problems-with-USB-devices

  Step 2: Check if the external drive is getting detected in disk management.

  If the hard drive is recognized in disk management and if there is no letter assigned drive, I suggest you make a right click on the drive and assign a drive letter and check to see if it helps:

• Second HARD drive not recognized by windows 8 but is recognized by the sata bios

  Second disk sata hard of not appearing is not on my computer and disk management. However, the hard drive is displayed in the bios. I am running windows 8 and the hard drive has been used in another cpu with linux installed on it, I want to format the hard drive and use it to store data.

  Thanks, Thomas

  Hello

  Yes, it should work... I didn't know that you were able to do...

  If you can remove the entire partitions... If you can reformat it to NTFS on Linux, you do too much, or just wait and do in Windows.

  Parted Magic is actually a program Linux incidentally...

• Newly installed internal Second hard drive not recognized

  L1701X XPS laptop (running Win 10). Installed a second 500 GB WD hard drive that is not recognized in the BIOS. I've updated (flashed) BIOS to the A10 and I updated all drivers recommended by Dell Support.

  If I remove the new second player and hover over the first (original) hard drive to the second vacant slot it works very well and also appears in the BIOS - so it seems to me that there is no problem with the second player port.

  I tried everything I could find on the Net about it, for example, to check the connection of the second disc, but nothing done yet.

  Can someone help me with this?

  I'm pulling this Post because I don't get all of the possible solutions to my question.  Thanks to the two people who have asked questions.

• Need help: HARD drive not recognized in XPS 8500

  Hello

  I have a special edition of XP Dell 8500 which worked perfectly until this morning, when the hard drive is no longer recognized.  When the computer is resumed mode standby, the computer froze and after rebooting the main hard drive is more visible to the system at all.  DSS and DVD discs are recognized, but the HARD drive is not.  It's all original parts factory with Windows 7, and nothing in the computer has changed between yesterday and today.

  I am looking for help on solving this problem.

  I tried to change the power supply and the motherboard to hard drive with well-known cables, changing the setting from BIOS of RAID and AHCI, but nothing works.

  Start with a DVD of Windows 7 does not detect the HARD drive at all. Run the diagnostics Dell system via F12 at startup can't find any errors - but also, he does not see the whole HARD disk.

  Thanks in advance for any helpful ideas.

  You have done all your possible - the drive is toast and needs to be replaced.

• The upgrade of Inspiron 9300 Hard Drive not recognized

  I bought an upgrade of my Inspiron 9300 laptop hard drive:

  Old hard drive: TG754 Hard Drive, 60G, 9.5 MM, 7.2 K Hitachi, Moraga, unleaded

  New hard drive: 250 GB SATA 3 Gb s hard drive 16 MB 7200 RPM 2.5 IN. w o free fall Scorpio black

  TG754

  Hard drive, 60G, 9.5 MM, Hitachi 7.2 K, Moraga, unleaded

  I don't know I installed it correct (just slide in and screw it) but my problem is that my laptop does not recognize the new drive.  When starting it complains that no hard drive is, and when I boot my Windows XP it also said that no hard drive is located.

  I followed the upgrade recommended Dell so I do not know why it does not work.  I read that the SATA drives require additional drivers, but I'm sure that my old drive was already a SATA drive, so I don't understand why he is not recognized.

  Help, please.  Thank you.

  The 9300 has been performed in two versions - the vast majority were EIDE.  The last execution of production used SATA.  Yours is EIDE.

  Readers are physically the same size and made the same carrier - but does not connect the SATA version to the motherboard (check the back both discs and you'll see why).

  The EIDE version has a limit of 120G BIOS - it means not that you can not use this drive of 160 G, but the results can be unpredictable, sudden loss of all data.  Keep backups if you try a 160 - it is much safer to use a 120G.

  No, a 5400 all else equal will be slower than a 7200 - but you don't have a choice, because all manufacturers have stopped making 7200 RPM EIDE (PATA) computer laptop some time ago.

• Hard drives not recognized on Precision 650

  Hello

  I have a Dell Precision Workstation 650 2003 System. I have 4 hard drives of 250 GB on in more the 40 GB boot drive. Of data readers were on the secondary IDE channel, while the other two were on a PCI - IDE card.

  Recently, I decided to upgrade all drives in my system. For my boot drive, I have upgraded to a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST380215A HDD 80 GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA100. For my data drives, I went with 4 ST3750640A of Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 750 GB 7200 RPM Ultra ATA100 IDE drives.

  After having replaced the drives, I was able to install CentOS Linux 5.1 on the 80 GB boot drive. I also could see the 750 GB drives attached to the PCI - IDE card. However, the 750 GB drives connected to the secondary IDE channel are not recognized by the BIOS or the operating system.

  I tried the following command to get the discs to work:

  (i) update of the BIOS on the workstation to version A05. It is the latest version of the BIOS available from Dell for my system.

  (II) new IDE cables are used for the secondary IDE channel.

  (III) tried all four disks to see if any combination works.

  (IV) tried to put just a walk on the secondary channel.

  (v) tried "cable select" setting the jumpers on the drives.

  (VI) configuration of the riders ' master/slave' I tried on disks.

  (VII) tried other riders to Seagate where you put an extra jumper on two pins closest feeding on both drives.

  (VIII) tried erasing memory NVRAM using keystrokes - Alt + F, Alt + E, and then Alt + B. After reboot, the system performed the automatic IDE configuration, but couldn't detect the 750 GB drives.

  (IX) tried the IDE cable that I use for the PCI card, which is able to detect the discs correctly.

  (x) tried to connect the drives on the primary IDE channel.

  None of these things have worked. I don't want to go back to the 250 GB drives because I want more storage. Y at - it a trick of hardware/software/firmware that I missed? Is there a way I can use the 750 GB drives on my system?

  Thank you

• Tecra M9-185 - 750 GB HARD drive not recognized

  I have Tecra M9-185 (PTM91E-0G4045G3) with BIOS Version 1.90 dated the 29.02.2008.
  It came with HARD drive of 160 GB, which is quite old and needs replacement. I want to upgrade the HARD drive. I tried to use the 750 GB HARD drive, but it was not recognized by the BIOS.

  Is it possible to upgrade the HARD disk? Is there a limit to the ability of the new HARD disk that can be installed?

  Hello

  Of course, the HARD drive can be upgraded.
  The laptop supports the SATA controller. The SATA controller is not limited to a special HARD drive size of my knowledge. 750Go should be supported too. But it might be possible that the BIOS is not able to manage these dimensions.
  Try a different SATA HDD with the smaller size.

  But question: why you n t choose an SSD (250 GB)?
  I have improved my Tecra A10 with a 250 GB SSD and the performance gain is amazing. The machine is running much faster and quieter

• Satellite M70: HARD drive not recognized external - various XP error messages

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite M70 and I have a Western Digital external hard drive.
  Initially, it worked great, I was able to put my large collection of music, etc. on it and run a computer off to save space on my integrated HD.

  But recently I had problems with XP not recognizing HD or be able to write in it. It appears in my computer, then disappear, often randomly when I write new files to it.
  I reformatted the hard drive to NTFS as it ran originally as FAT32.

  I updated my BIOS as well, but I'm out of ideas.

  Anyone else had similar problems with XP?

  Thank you

• Satellite A200 - hard drive not recognized

  Hello. Deploy a satellite A200.

  Original problem would not initialize only power light and hard drive light came on a second, nothing on the screen, not access to the parameters of F2. Reinstall memory, no go, deleted the test and drive hard and read disc hard ok in an external enclosure. With disk hard deleted computer will start after market boot disk and running program diagnosis ok. Can now access the settings of F2.

  Format external hard drive, reinstall and start with the startup disk, hard disk appears in the bios, the test runs diagnostic ok.
  Tried to install Windows XP and XP pro and windows twice starts to install and then comes up with an error saying there is no hard drive present, even if the Bios and a diagnostic boot disk at the same time recognize the hard drive.
  Tried another hard drive with the same problem, not recognized.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  Have you tried to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk? Normally with this record everything should work fine because it s pre-tested and specifically designed for your laptop.
  Check this box!

  In the worst cases, your HARD drive is faulty and you need a new. The HARD drive seems to have random failures.

• Impossible to install Win 7 on Satellite C660 - 26H - HARD drive not recognized

  I reinstall windows 7 on a Satellite C660 - 26H
  The hard drive failed on this laptop, so I added a new Toshiba 160 GB sata drive.

  When I try to install windows 7 I get the error message

  "no device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok"

  I get this when I would normally be choose which windows installation disc too. I guess I need driver sata for the laptop?

  Where can I get the driver for this laptop sata?
  Or do I have driver sata for the new hard drive?

  Any help appreciated, thanks!

  Hello

  First check to see if the new HARD drive is listed and recognized in the BIOS. It must appear on the first page of the BIOS.

  If his list, and save the changes by pressing F10 and access to the BIOS.

  I'm not very well if you need the SATA drivers because AFAIK Win 7 should already contain a standard SATA driver from m.

  However, the SATA drivers are on Intel page.
  You should look for Intel Storage Manager.

• Satellite Pro A60 - HARD drive not detected by BIOS

  Hi all!
  I received a Pro (PSA65E) Satellite A60 for free... because it has a bug! But I want to fix it and use it.
  Problem is that the HARD drive is not recognized by the BIOS. Strange enough, it is possible to format during the initial phase of an installation of the OS from scratch (I tried with Win XP and Win 2000), but facilities do not proceed any further because it won't start HD. If I try to install a time shild, he can't find some data already present in the HD and gives warnongs... which means that it is also possible to write to the disk.
  The BIOS screen shows: no drive.
  CD-ROM drive is OK, shown as secondary.
  I also look in the forums to nothing does not.
  Actions taken so far:
  * flashed the BIOS, now at version 1.90
  * Replaced the original HD (Toshiba, 40 GB) known to be good, by another more small (Toshiba, 30 GB)
  * Tried to remove the drive CD and checked BIOS recognizes, it has been removed and recognized it even when delivered. The same manoeuvre with the HD does not change the BIOS screen: he says still 'no drive '.
  * Tried with the BACK of Partition Magic version: it says "no disk found. Same thing with the backup came with the PC disks.
  Tried other stuff found in Fora them: remove all the power sorce, let the PC for a few minutes... open and checked for visible problems in the area of the disc HARD and so on.
  Any suggestion would be appreciated!

  Thank you

  Have you used the default settings for the BIOS settings?
