HD/SATA?-problem

I have a HP Pavilion-345sc Prod. No: XC883EA.  My first HD is 1.5 TB.

I bought a new whish HD, I intend to have a 2. HD. The new HD is a Seagate Baracuda ST3000DM001-IER166 3 TB

It seems that it is a mistake because it diskmanagement shows that only 746,52 GB.

I think the problem is a mismatch of SATA. Y at - it any way/upgrade I get the size of the HD?

Concerning

Torstein

I got a new HD, but the same problem occurred.

I had the help of the site:

http://www.Seagate.com/support/downloads/beyond-2TB/

"- If your system uses the Intel RST pilot, your 3 TB disk drive seems to be 800 GB. See our support on the Intel RST pilot article. »

The Site:

http://knowledge.Seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/218615en?language=en_US

has given an excellent intruction.

The Intel RST driver must be at least c. 10.3 - mine was 9.5.7 1002.

I downloaded the latest driver for the RST number http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/highlights/sftwr-prod/imsm - and installed - and voila - everything worked OK.

Thank you very much for your help!

I am very happy that I managed to fix it myself!

Best regards, Torstein (Norway)

  • Driver SATA problem

    Hey guys,.

    while I lived in Vista and Win7 disembark for awhile... I have 2 x portable computers HP (6530 b & s 6530)

    I need to run Windows XP.

    The question is not the installation of the operating system... I have it working fine... the problem is to install a new driver for storage

    If I can return them AHCI.

    The two laptops are using a driver of 2001 on the storage... I downloaded the 2010 HP driver

    but on installation, I get...

    "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software. The Setup will exit. »

    Google is not very useful as this error is everywhere... What Miss me?

    Will not install the SATA driver with the HDD running in IDE mode. Sometimes, you can extract the driver in a folder and make a update driver controller device pointing the Assistant Manager to the folder. Reboot if you can solve the AHCI in the BIOS and boot, you're good.

    Best option use Nlite to integrate driver into a new XP installation cd and install that way. After installation, I believe you can also solve the AHCI and boot with the cd and do a repair to facility running.

  • PCMCIA with M40X SAT problems.

    I have the problem that my PCMCIA TV card sometimes stops. I can't say when and why this happens. It is unpredictable. My question is, the card slot PCMCIA has something like a power save mode? Cause when the LED on my TVCard turns off the driver, this map shows an error in the hardware Manager. When I remove the card and stick it in again, the pilot working properly again.

    THX in advance michael

    Hello Michael

    In my opinion, there is obviously an interruption of power supply, but have no explanation why this happens. As far as I know there is no power to the PCMCIA slot parameter.

    It will be interesting to know in which cases this product problem (mains or battery power, whether or not the PCMCIA card is used).

  • Power with Pro 4340 Sat problems

    Hello

    Since I replaced my cd player, I have a very big problem with my battery. The new drive works fine but battery led flashes very fast (abnormal fast) and the battery is not more (that is 91%). I can't use the battery more because the laptop is not starting from the battery. I have two batteries, but none of them works. I can only use the laptop with AC plugged in and the indicator light flashes (orange). I checked the battery with a multimeter and all right, so I really don't know what the problem is. There must be something like a card in the motherboard as the input power is 15v, is there something wrong with?
    (btw. I already checked the cables)

    Thank you very much!
    Elmer

    Hello Elmer

    In my opinion there is some problem with electronic power supply to the motherboard. Abnormal, fast flashing battery LED is not known to me, just flashes code.

    In my opinion, you should contact partner in your country. Talk with them and seek advice. Maybe they can check the device.

  • 2nd HARD drive causes Qosmio G40 Crash

    My C drive is divided into 2 partitions in Vista Premium fine and everything ok.

    I read it could be a SATA problem but in the ability to change BIOS settings are not accessible.

    My missed day guarantee until it does not so I can t get it done about it.
    Before that happened, as I used to be able to use it for a while, then something relaxing blue screen, sometimes the laptop doesn t even see s it.

    Can anyone throw any light on the problem?

    Hello!

    Have you tried the Drive Fitness Test as suggested Akuma? You can check the HARD drive for bad sectors.

    CHKDSK isn't identical to the DFT and it can t detect errors on the HARD drive. Please run DFT to determine if the problem is the HDD, or not associated with.

  • Re: Windows XP Setup does not work on Satellite A300-1EG

    I am trying to install WinXP on this laptop. The CD starts correctly, the message on the system configuration, but then screen turns white and HARD drive led lights. When I start pressing the keys, it starts to beep after I pressed several keys.

    I did install and use Windows XP on this laptop, but I removed it to try Win7 RC and recently I deleted the partition and the partition recovery (WinRE) and created a single instead NTFS partition and now I have this problem.

    PS
    It is * not * SATA problem, Installer is not is the text 'blue '.

    Hello

    Are you sure that the question is not related to the lack of driver SATA (if SATA is set to AHCI in the BIOS)?

    Usually it should not have a problem with the installation you are going to install the operating system without the SATA drivers but the SATA mode must be changed to a compatible or you install the OS with the drivers SATA and SATA AHCI value mode.

    Check it!

  • Satellite C660 - gel intermittently

    Hi all

    First post so be gentle!

    My wife C660 is having issues that are an exact copy of this:

    Intermittend hang up or freeze your machine (possible high rotation FAN) on Windows 7-32 Bit / 64 Bit

    This comes from the forum, but on Toshiba laptops with Finger Print recognition that does not have its C660. She has recognition of faces, someone at - he heard of that happening? The laptop is not yet a year old, don't know if I can find the front desk however.

    Cali

    Hay Cali

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem. I assume that your wife uses specific applications or operations on this laptop, it will be interesting to know when this happen exactly.

    A certain application is running in the background when this happens?
    Since when you noticed the SAT problem?
    > Windows 7-32 Bit / 64 Bit
    Does that mean exactly? Do you use both versions on this laptop or original OS preinstalled only?

    What you can try is to manually disable all unnecessary processes and continue to use the laptop as usual.
    Also try to use it with plans of different powers.

    You know that's not easy to say what the problem is here.

  • When you try to re - install Windows XP, it does not detect the hard drive.

    Hi all. I tired to do a reinstall of Windows XP today. It seems to take a lot of time, and then I did a very stupid thing. I turned off the laptop that I had to go. Now when I try to start the laptop on the cd, I get as far the screen where I have to press on enter to install Windows XP pro on the system or press R to repair. The problem is that there is now no facilities to choose from in the box below and the system is not recognizing the hard drive. I can't even as much as the screen to format the drive. When I press ENTER to install windows xp, then I get a blue screen telling me that the system shuts down to protect my pc. Is anyone able to tell me what to do to solve this problem please. Thank you very much in advance for your help. Noel

    original title: I did a stupid thing... Windows XP Pro

    Sounds like a hard drive problem then. Your drive is maybe defective. First of all, you can use the partition of diagnostic Dell (F12) for its determination.

    In case there is a SATA problem, press F2 to enter the BIOS and change the setting of hard disk SATA to legacy. (Might as well try this first.)

  • Cloned new HDD for Pavilion 1210.uk does not start

    I am new to the forum so Hi everyone.

    I just installed a new HDD (SATA) to my office. BIOS identiified unit correctly and I cloned using HDClone software. He succeeded with 0 read and write errors. All files are accessed through drive letter access. So far so good, I thought. I then tried to boot from the disc again by changing the BIOS boot order. Hoewver, when the trunk begins with the new PC HARD drive crashes with a white/black screen with the cursor blinking in the upper left corner. It is the logo of Microsoft and o/s linen starts (XP).

    Some additional information:

    * Old HARD drive still boots without problem with or without the new drive.

    * I changed the transfer rate of 3.0 GB to 1.5 GB being the SATA 2 drive. That made no difference, then changed back.

    I don't know what is wrong, someone has also experienced this or knows what is the problem?

    Thanks for reading.

    The cloned system was not built with PATA and SATA drivers.  This could be the problem. You still get the blinking cursor?  You can send an email to technical support HDClone and ask of PATA, SATA problem of cloning.

  • HP 6200 pro (XY107ET) how to install Windows 7?

    I have a problem with a HP 6200 Pro: how to install Windows 7 from Microsoft CDs?

    Yes a free recovery of HP, but with an installation CD installation cleaned of all unnecessary software pre-installed.

    I tried with my Win 7 CD: it seems to install Win 7 but at the first reset, the machine stays on the black screen (Hit any key to boot from CD).

    I tried to install the AHCI drivers saying Win7 to load this driver from a USB, but the result is the same.

    I had a problem with a hp siilar 8200 commented: the operating system in this case was Windows XP, but the procedure was not easy...

    I solved the problem!

    It 'wasn' t a SATA problem, I know that 7 can be installed on almost all new computers without having to install the SATA AHCI drivers, but in this facility it seemed to not work.

    I used a disc of Windows 7 without SP1 and it worked everything; the OS disk downloaded from digital river to give driver problems.

  • Open any image in Photoshop desaturates and it darkens

    Hello!

    For about the last 2 months using photoshop CS5 (I've been since purchase in Dec 11 without problems), I'll treat and images in a TIFF file or high-resolution JPEG with a color Adobe RGB 1998 in Lightroom 3 or Capture Pro 7 profile, open in Photoshop with a work area and of proof preview space Adobe RGB 1998 and the image appears darker. I can fix by adding a layer of saturation, (+ 28 Saturday) a 10% of brightness curves layer and a layer of contrast (contrast-15). I then save the image and open it again in bridge or lightroom one, whether or not I have flattened, the image then opens in other programs with the same questions that photoshop has given it, i.e. darker, more varied and less saturation. My solution was to open in bridge, then open in photoshop from here for all my work of editing, and then opened in lightroom and correct color/curves/sat problems. Not a great work around and incredibly tedious! Help!

    This of course also affects my images when I opened the high resolution through bridge as dealt with by Capture or Lightroom then use Bridge Image Processor to export as adobe low resolution 1998 - all exit etc darker.

    I run the programs on a Macbook Pro 2009 model, vs 10.8.4, and my screen is calibrated regularly.

    Thank you

    Looks like you have not used Adobe RGB as the specification of the target for your calibration of the monitor, but rather a custom RGB configuration based on a whitepoint 6500 k or something like that. Could also be a bad profile. In any case, before you spend endless hours trying to hunt ghosts, it would be better reset the settings of your monitor and the factory default color, and then create a new calibration from scratch.

  • Tecra S10 - e-SATA with WD MyBook problem

    I have Tecra S10-10 loaded with win 7/32 final. From the beginning, there is fixation e-sata WD MyBook problem - most of the time cannot be reached
    and Device Manager hangs up refreshing devices. Only restart after sometimes he can be attached, but only those by boot allows. All other devices works fine. Before win 7
    I worked with XP no problem also.

    I tried to update the drivers for the chipset for win 7 - but it failed with the message that this computer does not meet the minimum requirements.
    The BIOS is 2.0. Trying to upgrade the BIOS to 3.0, he replied that Intel TXT must be disabled, but it is set in the BIOS, option cannot be selected.

    No idea how to fix e-sata?

    Hi Damir

    As I see that you do have a general problem with e-SATA, but just when you want to use this device to some so I think that the solution is not so easy.
    This device is not known to me, but I suppose you guessed it with USB cable. You can use it with any other standard USB port?

    What can I do?

    Thank you

    It could be a driver compatibility problem, but also missing some other patches or missing SP2 MS could cause this BSOD.
    So please make sure that you Win XP CD contains SP2 too.
    As suggested try to start in safe mode and reinstall the drivers created for your notebook from the series.
