• Pavilion 15-p080ca hard drive not detected in Win8, 03F1 0021 03F0 Bios errors, impossible to recover

  Hello

  I bought a new laptop from Windows 8 15-p080ca tigerdirect.ca Pavilion and he received a couple of days.

  The computer restarts randomly when working on it, I remember reading an IO error message in a popup windows.

  Since then, he constantly reboot, tries to load windows, fails and restarts until the auto repair is involved.

  Journal of the system BIOS has to many warnings and error: 03F0, 03F1, 0021.  I had about 3 times a hard drive not found error on POST.

  I can't repair the installation either by partition recovery or recovery discs, I get "the disc is locked error" or "auto repair could not fix your pc.

  Also Manager of recovery can not find the recovery partition.

  On the command prompt diskpart list disk;  "There is no fixed disk to show.

  However, the live cd Ubuntu and xp Mini are able to see all the partitions, view files and read them, a quick HDtune read test indicates no disk error.

  The computer is able to read disk hard since I am able to get on the recovery and windows tries to load until I get "your pc ran into a problem that he couldn't handle and must be restarted.

  HP PC Hardware diagnostic SMART test, short DST returns warning.  Diagnostic test of smart HP returned message 'no hard drive installed' only once.

  Whatever it is that the base Windows 8, if the recovery disc, original media is not able to see the hard drive.

  I tried to boot the recovery disc, the recovery partition with each combination of Legacy support and secure start to recover partitions without success because the hard drive is not detected (from diskpart list disk command).  The recovery DVDs, I get an error 0xefffff08. I also tried to remove the thought of recovery partition that he might want to move things faster.

  Well, after many hours of research and testing, I think I tried everything I could do and would need support for additional testing or replacement of the defective material.

  Thank you very much in advance for your help,.

  Contacted HP Support, laptop, go to the repair center.  Probably the location of the hard drive to the motherboard as they said.

• Hard drive not found error

  Hey everybody,

  My HP Pavilion G6 - 1164sa is coming up with an error "Hard drive not found" at the start up. It also makes a clicking sound. have you tried another hard drive to an old laptop in its place and the works, but because it is not the correct drivers installed for this model most things do not work. Need a solution to this? can I order a new hard drive for hp with all the drivers installed?

  Your drivers are posted on your support page > HERE

  You can order a hard drive at HP, but it will be a hard drive Virgin, as well as a new hdd retail except at much higher prices. I would like to replace the hard drive with a > hdd retail.

  If you plan to use recovery disks to reinstall Windows & software/drivers have one that is at least as large a capacity than the original, may be larger, but not smaller. If you have not written a set of recovery discs, you can usually order from HP for a small fee.

  If you can read the Windows 25-character license key attached to the bottom of the laptop there is possibility to download an ISO file, burn it to DVD and install Windows. Then you need to download your drivers on the support site. (Any size hard disk could be used with this option)

• Help format/reinstall, HARD drive not found

  Dell Dimension 8400 my brother got a horse of Trojan/bot out there and I had to do a thorough cleaning due to not being able to locate the infection and the internet company kept cutting off the Internet.

  I first tried the start of the disc and using disk relocation provided by Dell. He said "this part of the Setup program prepares Microsoft Windows XP on your computer. To set up Windows XP now, press ENTER. To repair a Win XP... Press R."

  I chose the first option and get the message: "Setup has not found hard disk units installed on your computer." And the only option (F3) is to stop smoking.

  I made a diagnosis of HD and it passes. Looking in the BIOS, it is recognised as disk 0 and also in the startup list.

  I decided that maybe there was a lock on there so I used DBAN to run a DoD wipe/format and clean the drive. So now it has to be completely formatted. I also jumped into a boot disk and performed a fdisk, but he doesn't recognize and create a partition of 8 GB to 160 GB. Hmmm, something's not right.

  Again, I'm trying to reinstall with reinstall drive and a full copy of XP that I have and you still get the "hard drive not found" error.

  The FAQ does not seem to cover this issue, but I could easily looking in the wrong places. in any case, I want to just wipe the drive and reinstall. Any suggestions?

• disk error hard dv6t, failure of hard drive not

  I am currently working for my intermittent problems of girlfriends with his laptop HP DV6T 3100.  The unit occasionally freezes and crashes, and then retrieves and returns to normal.  Occasionally of the boots to a hard drive error.  When it does not read the hard disk, the BIOS test pass.

  For a brief period he not tell the reader at all, but after I pulled the drive and put it in an external enclosure, another machine was able to read and to test the hard drive, which showed no signs of problems.  Smart function and the test was well outside, and I was able to start another machine out of the outer casing, which had none of the symptoms.

  I reconnect the SATA cable, he taped down as Ive read that this model has some problems holding the SATA cable in.  I also replaced the cable a few days ago and the machine is still issues regularly do not start, or when it does, gel on what anyone who accesses the hard drive because then more a minute or two, IE: Windows Live Mail, showing recently used documents in the office, or download files from Chrome.

  From what I can tell, it seems to be a problem with the hard drive on the Board controller, but I'm not familiar with how HP defines the unit upwards, or with Windows in general, as I'm an Apple guy.  Is there something else that reveal ask this question, because I don't think it's the hard drive, as it works perfectly out of the machine.  No details on this issue would be appreciated, as so far been relatively useless HP support, claiming that it is certainly a hard drive problem.

  Hello romanaz1987.  I understand that you encounter some problems with the hard drive in your friend DV6T.

  I share your diagnosis - which seems to be a problem with the hard disk controller.  The reason why I believe that it is only your steps of troubleshooting narrowed down the issue well enough.  The hard drive is known for work that you are able to use it in an external enclosure without problem.  In addition, the next thing I would try personally would have been reinstalling/replacing the SATA cable and you did both.  So, that leaves either the motherboard or controller hard drive as the culprit.  Unfortunately there is no way that I know to further diagnose the issue without taking the laptop to a technician.

  How long have you tried using the hard drive in the enclosure?  Given that the problem is intermittent, it may be useful to use the hard drive in the enclosure for an extended period of time.  It'll still exclude strange intermittent problems with the drive.

  I suggest take this laptop to a local technician, if she is no longer under warranty (you can check here).  A technician will be able to more practical tests that don't translate well on the forums.  If you are still in warranty, then you should definitely, contact HP support and let them know about the problem.  If you are in the USA / Canada, the number is 1-800-474-6836.  However, if you are in another part of the world, you need to visit HP's Support around the world to find contact information for your country.

  I'm sorry you have encountered this problem, but if you have any questions feel free to ask.  Also, I hope you have a nice evening!

• Error retrieving Tecra A6 (hard drive not found. Error: F3E1000001)

  Hello
  I want to recovery my Tecra A6, but when I insert the first (of three) DVD and restart my system to get to the recovery

  Menu (when booting from the recovery DVD) just rebooted my laptop and every time I try this (very simple procedure) this

  happen again.
  That's why I tried to get it back to Win XP > Toshiba Recovery Wizard... in the first DVD in the 'BIN' folder there isn't

  a "RECOVERY.bat" batch file when I run this file will open a CMD window and checks are willing (and then the

  following text is displayed in the CMD window :)
  "
  Verification of DMI
  Verification of RAID
  Failed to initialize the raid class.
  Check the HARD disk
  End of the error
  "
  and a new window opens with the following text:
  "
  
  an error has occurred.
  Error: F3E1000001
  Hard drive not found.
  Please press [OK] to turn the computer off.
  "
  If I press OK the any immediately goes down (without shut down windows) and I have to restart.
  Also my laptop works properly my recovery DVDs sounds great, I want to just recover my system because of the speed more

  in Win XP.
  Maybe there is a new firmware for my HARD drive or an update of the BIOS so that the laptop could detect my HDD.
  In Device Manager, my HARD drive is: HTS541010G9SA00

  Wait a minute: you try to run recovery as OS installation?

  The recovery procedure must be on path:
  Turn on the laptop and press the F12 key
  When the bootable devices appear put the first media for recovery in the optical disc drive
  Choose CD/DVD media from the list and press ENTER
  Follow the menu on the screen.

• Hard drive not found - installing WXP on Equium P200

  Dear all

  I have an Equium P200 with Vista. I decided to remove vista and install windows XP. I put the XP and it goes through a verification process, I guess. At the end of the audit and after I pressed the button to install XP, I get the message "hard drive not found on this computer. Help me with as I want to install XP, my laptop?

  Concerning
  REDA

  The XP operating system could not find the HARD drive because you have not installed the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
  It is a SATA driver is needed t install the XP.

  During the operating system installation process, you will need to press the F6 key to include the external USB FDD drive SATA driver.

  It you don t have a USB FDD drive then nLite software could be a solution.

• 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.

• External hard drive not detected with the error: "You must format the disk in the J: drive until you can use it."

  Hello

  I have an external hard drive to work perfectly. I'm back from vacation, and it does not appear under "My Computer". It appears under "Devices and printers", however. This is a link to a screencap of Device Manager: http://i.gyazo.com/9e91e1d71ed32c55dba0419e79b499d5.png

  The device in question is that of J:, and it says here that he has 100% free space, that worries me, because he had only 50 GB of free space when I used the latter. After that I open the disk management, I get a pop up message saying: "You must format the disk in the J: drive until you can use it."

  How can I get my hard drive appears again?

  Thank you

• I want to record on my hard drive, not the cloud. How can I do?

  I keep all my work on my hard drive, not the cloud. How to save on my hard drive without filling the cloud with my documents? I can't find a 'save' button that goes to my C drive. Maybe I need to remove this application and return to the old products Acrobat.

  Hi lch1,.

  Use the save option under & simply choose the destination file where you want to save the file, no need to go to the cloud of documents section.  The files will not be saved on the document cloud.
