3 of internal drive or external drive are. what type you referring?

I suggest you check if there is any formatted raw partition on disk management. You can check the link that will give you information on the management of records below:

    They appear here? If so, you may need to reassign a drive letter for them.

    If not, look in Device Manager, they appear in red/yellow or is there any "unknown devices"?

  • HP 6120 t BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller

    Hello

    HP 6120 t (vista) BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller. The other SATA disk and the DVD player came with the machine.

    I hooked my old 200 GB Hitachi drive via the controller. I also put the jumbers in the present as a slave. I also took the original WD drive and just connect the IDE hard drive. BIOS do not show any drive at all.

    I would try something possible at this time I have a lot of my data on the old disk.

    Thanks appreciate any suggestion.

    Try to enter the BIOS and I believe under change of Advanced menu of SATA to IDE or Enhanced.

    You need to do when you install Windows XP or you will get a blue screen and it does not start.

    Don't forget chang back when you put it in your drive home hard sata.

  • Satellite A55-S106 does not recognize the 160 GB HARD drive

    I replaced the 60 GB IDE HDD in my laptop Toshiba Satellite A55-S106 with a 160 GB one of Western Digital.

    I've restored a Ghost 10 image to the new drive on a hard disk external. The computer still recognizes only 60 GB. Belarc and HD Tune to see a 160 GB drive, but show the volumes as being only 60 GB.

    Disk management Windows show 93,16 GB as unallocated.
    I am running Windows XP SP3.

    Someone at - it ideas? The BIOS can be crippled somehow? I can't find anything in the BIOS that seems to address hard drive size.

    I started directly on the Ghost recovery CD after installing the new drive. Should I have formatted, it firstly somehow? Here I used the original recovery CD to recover everything first and then restored the Ghost image?

    I put a 160 GB drive in an old 1999 Dell desktop running Windows 98 and no problems like that. It is hard to believe that a laptop from 2005 would have this problem. It is, however, my first attempt at using a version of Ghost Windows hard drive recovery.

    > I started directly on the Ghost recovery CD after installing the new drive. Should I have formatted, it firstly somehow?

    Yes, I suppose the HARD drive was not formatted in NTFS file format.
    This is why I would recommend booting from original Toshiba Recovery CD and then check if the HARD drive has been recognized correctly!

    Please check first!

  • Portege M400: Windows XP does not recognize the 160 GB HARD drive

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Portege M400 with Windows XP Tablet Edition. Now, I bought a new 160 GB drive. This disk can be recognized within the location Phase Installation of XP. Do I need a new driver?

    Best regards

    Karl Weber

    Hello

    You have to install and include the Portege M400 RAID drivers.
    It's a bit confusing because little protégé M400 does not support 2 HARD drive, but the RAID driver is required.

    Please check the Toshiba European page and download the RAID driver. During the installation of XP her you have to press the F6 key to include the driver from an external USB FDD drive.

    After you have included the don t RAID driver format HARD drive because this will lead to the driver losing.

    Best regards

  • XP does not recognize a second IDE hard drive.

    Summary:
    Added a PATA IDE drive so both are on the same cable.

    System information:
    IBM ThinkCentre P4 2 .66GHz (bought in 2005 approximately)
    Upgraded RAM from 1 GB to?, pin DIMM 184 form factor.
    Hard Drive IDE 1 x 40 GB - Standard - ATA-100-7200 RPM.
    Genuine XP; SP3 downloaded and installed by me.
    MT - M 8187-WBK S/N: KCGL5NB
    8187 is a type for a M50 number.

    My assumptions of hard disk:
    It is Setup to have a disk of expansion under the DVD with separate IDE cables and no doubt when both these are used you are in a primary + secondary situation.  I think that I am looking to get a configuration 'Double' where both are on the same IDE cable.

    Action:
    Removed the floppy drive and put the old HD in its place; It is the primary IDE hard drive.
    Put the new HD located under the old and attached the new cable at the same time.
    Use the power connector of the DVD on the new drive; I could so far to an extension of the extra drive Bay.
    I checked the BIOS boot menus, but could not see anything that needs to be changed.

    Problem:
    The system shows no signs of the new command.
    It still shows the floppy drive.

    I hope you can help,
    Peter

    USB is not supported, and even if that were the case, put the file on a USB drive would significantly reduce the performance of Windows.

    To speed things you can locate the swap file on a separate partition (should be the first partition, about 10 GB is more than enough) on a second hard drive.

  • Tecra M9 - does not recognize the 320 GB HARD drive

    Hello @ all,

    I tried to install the HARD drive, but it seems to be not recognized by the BIOS. Any chance to get this problem resolved?
    With Acronis Disk Man. I get an error message: No. HDD installed!
    BIOS version is 1.80, HARD drive is a Seagate ST9320421ASG (Momentus 7200.3 320).

    Thanks in advance

    Hello!

    Have you tested the HARD drive in a laptop or in an external enclosure? Maybe it s faulty.
    Or you test another HARD drive in this notebook.

    Normally a 320 should work in Tecra M9.
    There is a new version of the BIOS on the Toshiba, but I doubt that the problem of the article, but try to update.

  • Vista does not recognize the 640 GB hard drive

    Sorry to tell you that everything you have * is * acknowledged. Although
    you think you have a 640 GB drive, you actually have a 596 GB disk.
     
    All drive manufacturers qualify hard 1 GB 1 000 000 000 bytes, while
    the rest of the computer, including the windows world, defines it as 2 to
    the 30th power bytes (1 073 741 824). So is a disk of 640 billion bytes
    actually about 596 GB.
     
    To some people pointed out that the official international standard defines
    the 'G' of GB as 1 billion, not 1 073 741 824. Correct if they
    are, using the binary value of GB is so well established in the
    World of computing that I consider using the decimal value of 1 billion of
    be misleading marketing.

  • Satellite 1800-712 does not recognize my USB external HARD drive

    Hello

    I would really appreciate the help. I own a satellite 1800-712. I have receently bought a usb external hard drive for some extra memory (IE Toshiba MK4026GAX USB Device)

    When I connect it to my usb port it records any with the computer. The green light so there is power to the hard drive. The usb ports recognized of other fine features (a modem and memory stick)

    I tried the external hard drive on a desktop pc and it works fine.

    I have downloaded all windows xp service pack updates and updated my bios. Don't know what to do now.

    Please help and thank you in advance!

    Hello

    Although sometimes, I know that the OS is not able to recognize the external USB device, because the device external USB (HDD) consumes more energy than the 500mA.
    The USB ports provide 500mA power and if the device needs more power so it s is not possible for the Windows operating system to recognize the external device.
    You have an external power supply for the USB HDD? You should use it.
