• Can not format or partition the drive HARD on Satellite M30

  I have a Toshiba Satellite model No. PSM30E
  And the system is unable to access the HARD disk.
  When I check the Bios setup it can detect the HARD drive.

  When I run windows setup to boot from the CD he sees the HARD disk with the correct size, but it cannot create partitions on it or if it can format the HARD drive. I tried the HARD disk partitioning using another system and I was able to partition and format. But when I plug in the laptop he sees just the whole HARD disk in unpartitioned space and also does not format them or partitioning it.

  Y at - it shaped a locking mechanism that prevents access to the disk partitioning or setting?
  My other question is, perhaps, the problem of the IDE connector?

  Any suggestions or help?

  Hello

  I don t think there is something wrong with the IDE controller. Fact is that the BIOS do not show simple partitions but only whole HARD disk size.
  I put t know how you tried to format the HARD disk or to create partitions on this disk HARD but in fact different OS uses the standards of different format and this may the reason for your problems!

  I think you should try to boot from the original Windows XP CD. Let's launch the setup and format the whole HARD drive and erase all partitions!
  I noticed that Toshiba recovery CD couldn t runs correctly on wrong formatted HDD!

• Windows could not format a partition on disk 0 - 0 error code 80070057 x

  Original title: error code 0 x 80070057

  Windows could not format a partition on disk 0. The error occurred during the preparation of the partation selected for the installation of 0 x 80070057 error code.

  I recently bought components in order to build a new PC in Win 7 64 bit.

  I've built a lot of PC in the past, don't wait no problem that I couldn't cope so.

  I got this this same exact error message and have been pulling on my hair for the last two weeks to try to solve.

  I even bought a new motherboard, processor and HD and got the same error. Urgghh!

  Well, when I finally realized what it was that I was so relieved and so angry at the same time!

  IT WAS THE SATA CABLE! 1

  I've never had a problem with a SATA cable before so I never even thought to replace.

  One who turned out to be defective was one of the thinner, but I used a lot of them in the past without incident.

  This may or may not be the cause of your problem, but try it

  Windows displays the device works correctly.  However, the device does not appear in windows Explorer. also, I can not format disks.

  What should I do next

  Hello

  1. Are you referring to the NEC USB Floppy Driver?
  2. You try to format floppy disks?
  3. Was - this earlier work, if so, did the chnages on the computer before this problem?

  If it worked, I suggest the following methods and check the status of the issue.

  Method 1:

  Open the hardware and devices troubleshooter.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-hardware-and-devices-Troubleshooter

  Method 2:

  Update a hardware driver that is not working properly.

• Should I partition the new drive?

  I installed a new hard drive of 320 and then install Windows XP without the disk partitioning. I think it was a mistake since I have a number of questions: i.e., no message of paging to the startup file and the computer is not shut down correctly, all turn off. I need to create a partition?

  In addition, my computer only recognizes the former status of 80 GB from my old drive.

  If you need to upgrade the BIOS then do.  Also, make sure that the rider of the disc is correctly defined (master/slave/Cable Select), if it is the only drive on the IDE controller, you can set it to master.

  The Windows XP Setup program took care of partitioning, there is no need to use other tools of preparation of partitioning or disk when you install Windows XP, Setup will give you a list of available disks and you ask what disk and partition you want to install Windows, it will load if necessary partitioning.  If you select a new disk that has not been initialized or prepared you will be asked and asked if you want to create a partition, Windows cannot be installed on a disk at least a primary partition, the installation program will create the partition before it can go further, you could not install Windows on your new drive if she had no partitions the Setup program creates the partition that invited you to do when you have Windows installed on your new drive.

  Is the new drive the only hard drive in the computer when you installed Windows XP?  The "No paging file" error is usually caused by incorrect drive letter assignments, glitches or mix ups installation can cause problems with possibility of drive letter.  When you install Windows, you must ensure that there is no external device connected to the computer other than the keyboard, mouse and monitor, make sure that there is no USB drives don't, sticks of flash, cameras or printers with readers card connected to the computer, disconnect everything except the keyboard, mouse and monitor.  Having poorly adjusted riders drive can also cause problems, for example have a drive as a slave when it is the only drive on the controller may cause problems or give unexpected results during the installation of Windows.

  Hello

  Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

  I suggest you follow the methods and check them off below if it helps.

  Method 1:

  Try the troubleshooting hardware and devices running tool and check.
  Reference: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Open-the-Hardware-and-Devices-troubleshooter

  Method 2:

  Check your hard drive for errors:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-a-drive-for-errors
   
  Note: when running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

  
  Method 3:
  
  Initialize the disk in disk management.

  Create and format a hard disk partition : http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-and-format-a-hard-disk-partition

  Note: Converting a hard disk partition or volume from NTFS to FAT32 requires that you reformat the partition, which deletes all the data on this subject. Be sure to back up data that you want to keep before you begin.

  Method 4:

  Try to connect with another computer and check if it helps.

  If the problem is still persist, then it would be best to contact Seagate for further assistance.

• To the OS to drive HARD internal new internal SDS with 1 single socket (so I can connect only to 1 at a time)

  Hello

  I want to improve my netbook by changing my old and slow a new SSD HDD, but I expect a BIG PROBLEM. My computer is running Win7 Original from an OEM (Dell). Microsoft won't give me an ISO of Win7 OS file because the OEM must (when I enter the key of product before downloading, it tells me that Dell must provide me with ISO). Dell will provide an ISO file or a bootable USB key because their customer support is BAD. The problem is that I have no idea how to do to transfer the Win7OS from the old HDD to the new SSD.

  I considered the cloning of my old internal HARD drive to my new internal SSD, but given that only one of them can be pluged simultaneously (only 1 plug into the motherboard), I don't see how I could do this. I'm not an expert on cloning of hard drives, so you might know something escapes me. IF YOU DO, PLEASE TELL ME.

  Please consider that I also have a HARD drive external that I could use, if necessary, to transfer the OS (example: 1. clone the OS from the HARD internally for the external HARD disk drive.) 2. replace the drive HARD internal with the new internal SSD and 3. Clone the operating system from the external HARD drive to international it SSD. I have no idea if this is possible or how to make STEP 3 of this example. I don't know even if the external HARD disk clone can function as a bootable disc). Also, consider that this netbook is not a CD/DVD unit.

  I would appreciate your opinions, experience and solutions for this problem,

  Thank you very much!!

  Hello

  Thank you for being part of the Microsoft Community.

  Alternatively, you can perform an installation of the operating system directly to an SSD instead of the transfer option.

  Check the below link that talks about the transfer of the operating system to an SSD.

  Hello golden2,.

  I understand that you have a DVD picture in your SuperDrive drive, but it is not mount on the desktop and will not eject.

  Please, try the procedure described in this article using the disc is ejected.

  Get help with the SuperDrive slot on your Mac - Apple Support loading

  Do not eject discs or discs eject slowly

  1. If the drive ejects discs slowly or appears to have difficulty, insert and eject a disc several times. Check the disc to see if it has a label or other material stuck to the disc which increases the thickness. Remove the label if possible.
  2. If the disc does not eject, try pressing the eject on the keyboard button. Some older keyboards may use the F12 key to eject the disc.
  3. If the disc does not eject, try dragging the icon of the disk to the trash.
  4. If the disc will still not eject, try to hold down the mouse or trackpad button after you restart the computer. The Superdrive should attempt to eject the disc.
  5. If the disc still does not eject, reset the System Management Controller (SMC) and repeat steps 1 to 4.
  6. If the disc still does not eject, Contact Apple or an provider of services authorized Apple, or make an appointment with a Store Apple Store for further assistance.

  Take care.

• IS does not recognize the drive HARD internal

  I have three, all from a school lab, that have been linked with other positive points and printers.

  They are connected are not together anymore.

  All three have a floppy drive and a HARD drive. Will only boot from the HARD drive.

  At startup, the other two do not recognize their HARD drive and I use ea disk with the system in this regard.

  Since hard drives are not 'seen' I am unable to do anything with them: fix, set up as a boot drive, etc.

  They begin with the usual chimes and the Mac with the question mark, I slip the disk in and they complete commissioning.

  The internal drive spin up and the indicator light flashes.

  They do not show the drive HARD internal on the screen, but will show an external.

  I haven't started to swap parts between the good and the other two.

  Does anyone have an idea on how to activate an invisible HARD drive?

  You will need to use the boot floppy disks to start the machines to run the repair disk, partition and format the HARD drive if it is still functional. Only then can you install Mac OS on the HARD drive. That's all that I remember.
