• 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.

  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.

• 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

• 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.

  > 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.

• HP Pavilion Notebook - 17-f250: new SSD not recognized, Pavilion 17 AMD drivers

  Hello

  I bought the laptop (HP Pavilion Notebook 17-f250) on September 2015 and this September 2016, I decided to upgrade with a 2nd SSD.

  I bought a caddy, placed my SAMSUNG EVO 850 PRO inside, removed the optical drive and then place the CART inside the laptop. It fit perfectly, no problem there.

  But Windows does not recognize it at all in MANAGEMENT OF DISKS.

  It is not here in order to format it, etc...

  My IDE/SATA appears as "AMD SATA CONTROLLER".

  I can not find anywhere no possibility of enablev AHCI etc... My BIOS is not an option to check if the AHCI drivers are enabled or not.

  With the AUTOMATIC DETECTION is my driver: AMD APU A4-6210 with graphics AMD RADEON R3.

  My operating system is WINDOWS 10.

  FYI, I bought another same SSD for my office and worked smoothly. I only have a problem with my laptop, and I can't figure out how to recognize the Windows SSD!

  BR,

  Dionisis

  What caddy you bought? There are a lot of these on the market and some are not made with the highest quality control. You may have it tested with another hard drive?

  Second, the interface for the optical drive is SATA which is ahci. The drivers are not the issue.

  Finally, put an SSD in an optical drive is a little excessive spending from one optical drive interface is slower, so the speed of SSDS is wasted. It would be much better to put a regular hard drive large, slow in the optical Bay for storage. Having an SSD in there won't be fast in all directions. Also, a disc in an optical Bay will not be initiated.

• Satellite L50 - B - 2 8 - new SSD is not recognized in the BIOS settings

  Hello

  I just bought a new laptop Toshiba Satellite L50 - B - 2-8 and I also bought Samsung SSD 850 evo 250 GB.
  When I try to install the SSD drive rather my drive HARD, the BIOS show 'none' in the category of SSD/HDD (BIOS not recognize the SSD).

  Please help me.
  My bios version is: 2.00
  someone told me that I have to downgrade my version of BIOS to 1.2V and then the BIOS recognize the SSD drive, so perhaps someone here can send me a download link for version 1.2 of my model L50 - B - 2-8.
  Thank you

  someone told me that I have to downgrade my version of BIOS to 1.2V

  And who? I mean you are sure that this person was right?
  From my point of view of the few there is no reason why beginning version BIOS should recognize the SSD and the latest version of the BIOS is not...

  But BIOS v1.2 for series Satellite L50 - B - 2 8 PSKTQE there is no v2.0 (at this time) is the latest version and previous versions of BIOS are not available for this series.

  Also, I guess you must slimply check different SSD drive... it might be possible that the other SSD drive would be recognized correctly.

  By the way: I am owner of Evo 850 SSD drive and as I remember, I had to update the firmware of the SSD drive to use it correctly in my other laptop (not the Toshiba device)

• Pavilion dv7 - 4153cl: Pavilion dv7 - 4153cl replacement HD not recognized when loading windows

  I bought a replacement HD for my Pavilion dv7 - 4153cl and loading windows, I need to load the driver (I guess that a driver IDE or SATA).  It throws an error saying no compatible device not found driver (I can get exact error if necessary).  I went on HP website, downloaded 2 bios drivers, Bios tools, and storage driver.  What is an exe, I ran and then copied the directory created on a CD.

  I point to the CD and still unable to find the device driver.

  Any ideas?

  If another HD is required, no problem.  If it is a driver problem, a pointer in the right direction would be helpful.

  Thank you

  If you are prompted for a driver to support the hard drive during the installation of Windows? It's because the Manager of storage on this laptop isn't RAID, AHCI and Windows 7 isn't this RAID driver available on the installation disc. But fear not only intel makes the driver available here:

  https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/download/24779/Intel-rapid-storage-technology-Intel-RST-RAID-driver

  You need the F6 driver for 32 or 64 bit one correct installation that you do.  If 64-bit, you must f6flpy-x 64.zip. These are compressed files (.zip). Download the .zip to a different computer and extract the .zip to a USB key and when you reach him point the Windows installation when it is asked for a driver, navigate to the location where the files were extracted from the thumb drive. This should allow you to proceed with the Windows installation.

• Reference Dell T5400 new SSD not recognized

  I'm having a problem with the installation of a new SSD on my T5400. Ultimatly I want to load the operating system and all the software on the SSD and then install a 2nd hard drive SSD of same type and size to store my files.

  My specific situation is:

  Previously a poweredge 6 / i sas card scsi perc 6 with the installation of 500 GB HD (2) RAID 0, Win 7 pro 64 bit.

  I removed the adapter perc 6 and installed a new Samsung 850 Evo 500 gb SSD on sata 0 position. I'm trying to do a fresh reload of the OS on the SSD with the bios (Version 11) set to Raid Autodetect/AHCI selected.

  During the installation of windows, it does not see the SSD and seeks pilots continue. I tried to find the appropriate drivers on the website of dell for my system and the unziped NautilusDOSA48_ZPE, put on a USB key. He looked for a driver, but windows has returned a message 'no driver signed found. Of note is that I was able to remove my other format of the underdisk of configuration management and create a simple volume on disk.

  Issues related to the:

  Is the withdrawal of the RAID card affecting the installation, was it the previous series of drivers that I seem to be missing? If so how can I work around this?

  Leaves the RAID card to and not connected to the drive or connect to the card and a raid configuration, a configuration option 'no '? If so is it a good idea?

  I visited the dell support site and found what I thought was the best set of drivers for my system and SSD (NautilusDOSA48_ZPE) is suitable for my application driver or is there a better one avalible?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hi Todd,

  Thanks for your reply.

  I currently have the readers installed and running on my system

  In response to your answer, yes Bios A11 had been installed for more than a year, removed the card activated before installing the SSD raid and AHCI.

  The question, it turns out that was a simple, as I said after enabling the AHCI I thought that ports 0 and 1 auto detects new readers, they do not have. Once I have manually configured ports on in the Bios, the system recognizes the new SSD and they work now.

• Satellite L50-A-1CU: new SSD not recognized if SATA is set to the performace

  I changed the hard drive from my toshiba a-1-cu C50, with a 128 GB SSD 830.

  This drive only set on the 'autonomy' work is not a 'performance '.
  (In the performance of the modality, the Bios do not see, or seen once on ten of system startup.)

  This settings in Bios called sometimes "interfaces sata".

  The performances are a quarter more slow (125 MB/s vs. 500 mb/s).

  The hard drive has the latest firmware available.

  There is a solution to finally put on the "performance"?

  Hello

  Indeed, it is very strange question

  However, it would be interesting to know if this BIOS <–>recognition SSD problem appears with the other SSD drives. Have you tested other SSD?

  Otherwise, I think that if this problem would appear with different disc SSD, the BIOS may not be not entirely compatible with various SSD.

• HP Pavilion dv7-3170ez: volume indicator not showing when the volume control

  Hello

  I own a Pavilion dv7-3170ez and when I change the volume using the slider button in the volume on top of the keyboard, the volume is adjusted accordingly, but no volume indicator appears on the display.

  Previously, when you adjust the volume, a speaker icon with a cursor jumped in the middle of the screen showing the current volume level.

  I use Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows Update and HP update shows that I have the latest version of the software. Also, I have the latest version of the BIOS installed.

  Note: the touch buttons on top (volume, speaker and enable wireless, etc) stopped working a few days after the disappearance of the sound meter, I have fixed that by connecting battery power and disconnectiong for awhile. However, the indicator is still not displayed. Don't know if this is related (I guess not).

  Thank you

• 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

  How are you Laeadern? Well, if you have not set the tone, you're not alone it seems computers laptops without the function of his Beats from HP does not have the tone control feature, or it is a feature of Windows Ultimate?... I have Windows Professional dv6, select fairly recent edition (bought this summer), I have no dial tone featured in sounds in the control panel.

  But in regards to low values and change them, I think you can change thorugh the IDT Audio software.

  Go to control panel and click on "IDT Audio Control Panel."

  Then on the albums tab, select read and on the left select speakers and headphones

  Under the menu that falls under the speakers and headphones select EQ

  Now you should see a menu with cursors for various changes in lower values if I'm wrong?

  You can also increase the low values in Sound and go to playback devices, select speakers and the headphones and then on the bottom 'Properties' and in the Properties tab improvements and check Bass Boost and hit the settings for Bass Boost and then check what is the frequency of 80 Hz and 3 dB optimization level. Also in the Properties window for helmet speakers and go to the Advanced tab and change the format of "24-bit", 96000 Hz (Studio quality)

  If you still don't see not your look of subwoofer by activating your subwoofer try these changes in the following link:

  http://Forum.NotebookReview.com/5668647-post3614.html

  Do not forget to easily cancel your changes changes unlike pressing generally 'Default' as in IDT of equalization you can manually return the sliders back to zero, or select the preset "Default". In the sounds, you can hit the default or change the default settings, good luck and these changes above should least improve your sound quality, I hope this works.

• 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

  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.
