  Hello

  I have a new Pavilion P7-1030.  Windows7.  I installed it had ' (sata) drive from my old computer instead of file transfer.  I used the new power & cable signals.  The drive is not recognized.  The computer starts fine, but does not see the drive.  I reinstalled the cables and try the other Sata connector on the motherboard.

  Any suggestions?

  Concerning

  Hi all

  I didn't disappear without saying how it worked.

  I decided to unload him had ' drive to the new computer and reinstall in the old computer because I had a

  hard time believing this was not working due to an error on the new computer.

  I discovered it had ' drive was fried.  It powers not up at all in the old computer now.  If some time after I unloaded it from the old computer it fried.  I'm sure it was something I did, despite all the care I got.

  In addition, I had yet another SATA drive I have now installed in the new computer and it has set up with no problems at all.

  So, I wanted to thank all the contributors who made suggestions and gave of their time.

  You ROCK!

• Envio 3TO Ext HDD not recognized

  Hi my external HD can no longer be recgnised by my 64 bit Windows 7 computer. There were always a little skittish because I couldn't start my computer with connection. But now he says that he does not recognize it and comes up with an error 43. I tried to reinstall the drivers, but it still doesn't work.

  I have many irreplaceable info on the external hard drive and am really upset that I can't make it work

  Can someone help me please.

  The 43 error could appear due to different reasons and so its not easy to say what causes this HARD drive failure.

  The issue could be due to the defective, faulty driver installation cable USB or a USB port.
  It is also possible that the system has been confusing upward and the registry should be cleaned or repaired.

  From there where I bit you should check some necessary workarounds.
  First of all I recommend you connect this HARD drive on another computer.
  Test it by using the 2nd laptop or desktop PC and connect the HARD drive to different USB ports.

  S computer USB ports should be checked as well. Disconnect all USB devices.
  Go to Device Manager and remove all USB hubs, controller and ports.
  Then restart the system.
  After restarting again, the system must initialize ports that are automatically deleted.

  Last but not least Microsoft published a document of troubleshooting in order to solve the problem of error 43.

  Error: USB device not recognized when you try to access an external USB hard disk.

  If anything would help him, probbaly the HARD disk is defective :(

• HDD not recognized after format

  I reformatted a HARD drive via the cable series/SATA from another operable XPS machine. I plugged the HARD drive into the unit of Dimension 8400 troubled.

  I to configure a base boot shipped with XP install disks.   Windows Setup runs at the Welcome to Setup screen. Selection of ENTRY or R for the results of recovery in the setup console do not find hard drive units.

  I in the configuration of the system. The boot sequence displays the SATA hard drive is not present. but the workout section suggests that 0:SATA Drive-0 is enabled, activated and the connected device is usable. The details of the command show player that ID is unknown.

  How can I get the drive reformatted to be recognized?

  JackShack,

  My installation disc was SP2 then I obtained a copy of the installation with SP3 disk and got the same HARD drive not recognized as before. On a whim, I changed motherboards and all straightened out. I think it was a hardware problem. Thank you for your generous support.

• SATA HDD not foud

  new disk sata hard not found on my computer laptop Gateway E - 475 M when I start windows install all the file load down, but when he finished and ask I want to set up windows xp now press Enter, I get Setup did find any hard drives installed in your computer. Any help on this

  Thank you

  Windows XP Setup disks have been created until the SATA drives existing and therefore Windows installation floppies do not recognize him (they have no drivers for it).  The solution is to look carefully on the installation and you will see a point where a message down prompting you to press F6 to load external drivers.  At this point, you must press the F6 key and install a floppy disk (Yes, need a floppy disk) in the floppy disk drive that contains drivers for your SATA drive.  If you do not have a working floppy drive, you must create an another Setup by 'slip-streaming' the SATA driver disk in the installation disc.  There are Web sites that will help you in this process if necessary.

  "Limited OEM driver support is available with F6 during installation of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003"

• Inspiron 15R 5537 helmet is not recognized.

  So I bought 5537 yesterday with win8. When I plug my headphones, it is not recognized. Audio continues to play through speakers. I've seen people with the question the other way where speakers did not work for them but because of helmet. The helmet is not a microphone (this is the problem?) I have tried many headphones, none of them have been recognized. I was on the last commands of Realtech, I uninstalled to try if it works. But still not a go. :(

  Ashwas

  The helmet is not a microphone (this is the problem?)

  This should not be a problem. The headphone jack ("combo") will work with a smart phone earphones headphones or with ordinary headphones. The problem with taking the combo, it's that it will work only with smartphone headset microphones, not ordinary microphones.

  If you had a problem caused by the wrong configuration, then re - install the audio driver would fix it. Try to reinstall the Realtek driver and if it does not then you probably have a hardware failure. Contact the technical support. You also have the option to return the laptop in the short period of return.

• Inspiron 2500 new HDD not recognized

  I replaced the original 10 GB hard drive in my Inspiron 2500 with a PATA/IDE Hitachi 80 GB 5400 RPM HARD drive (mod 0 has 28417).   BIOS shows no disc HARD now.  BIOS is the current version, A15.  I tried to remove and re-seating the new drive twice with no effect.

  I found other threads of message showing Inspiron 2500 owners upgrade to 80 GB hard drives with the downside of not to use a SATA disc successfully.  So I thought this drive would be compatible.  I was wrong?

  First, I share this drive for something else, any suggestions?

  
  

• 2nd hard drive not recognized

  I have maybe over my head.  I have a HP p6680t, Windows 7, with an original hard drive 1 TB Samsung.  I recently got a 2 TB WD harddrive and installed in the port 1 (original in port 0).   Everything turned on, successfully, loaded the driver automatically but found no new disk in 'computer '.  Intel 'Rapid Storage Technology' found the new HDD and asked if I wanted to use as RAID1 with success.   I said yes.  He said that having created successfully the image after 3 hours.  Today, however, I like to use not as the RAID, but as an additional drive.  How he recognized by Windows?

  Hello

  First thing to do is update the TSRI softwarefrom the Intel site. Then, use a third-party imaging product to take a full backup image of the Array volume.  The TSRI Intel allows to check that you have only one volume of table with two hard drives. Now use TSRI to reset to normal table.

• Dv7 7243 cl envy: Envy dv7 7243 cl: installed SSD cloned as 1, new HD as 2nd. HD not recognized by Windows 8.1.

  My project: Installation SSD as main boot drive and a HD as secondary data drive.

  (1) purchased Samsung SSD 512 Pro, caddy Newmodeus & cable and a USB 3.0 to SATA 3 interface cable. - Fact

  (2) courses provided by using SSD HD clone start-up cable interface and software. - Fact

  (3) replace the current boot with SSD HD into the slot in the main drive of the dv7. - Fact

  (4) boot SSD dv7. - Fact, successfully starting from: SSD

  (5) purchase new HD, same model as the original HD boot (I wanted to record original HD) - fact

  (6) installed the new HD (as-is to the supplier) on the slot of the dv7 second disc using caddy and cable. - Fact

  (7) booted into BIOS dv7, ran F2 System Diagnostics / system information. - Made, has identified the two new HD and SSD

  (8)... / tests of components / Hard Drive / Quick Test / run once / select hard drives / 2. - Smart and DST both past

  (9) booted dv7 in Windows 8.1. - Fact

  (10) Ran / storage / disk (Local) management - showed no new HD, just the SSD and the CD-ROM.

  I guess the new HD and cable are ok since step 7 showed his information and step 8 showed it has passed its tests.

  The new does HD must be partitioned and formatted to be identified in point 8.1 of Windows?

  Upgrade to Windows 10 will fix the problem?

  Note: I unplugged the new HD SATA port and connected directly to my dv7 via a USB 3.0 port.  When I ran it again / storage / disk (Local) the new HD management has been shown (without drive letter and no file system designation) with 3 partitions.

  Any help getting my dv7 recognize the new HD would be greatly appreciated,

  Hi @pmhanson,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  It is a wonderful place to find answers and suggestions.

  You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the HP Forums.

  Learn how to post and more

  I understand that you have properly installed the SSD as boot drive. You have installed a new HD and it is recognized in the bios and passed all the tests. With the two drivers installed internally you started Windows but when you check the disk management it does not list the new HD.  While in disk management have you tried clicking on "Action and selecting"Analyze the disks?"

  When you have removed the hard drive and connected with the USB cable, the drive is listed and you saw 3 partitions on it with partitions without designation of file system and the drive letter. If the Player did not recognize when you did the rescan in disk management, because it is recognized when connected with USB, you can try to reformat the drive and assigning a driver letter when you are logged here.  Now, restart your laptop if you reinstall the internal drive, if it recognizes the drive?

  Please let me know the results.

  HP Pavilion dv7-1245dx Notebook upgraded to Windows 7 Vista fm. Try to add nine more fast (7200 RPM) HDD (Seagate momentus 320) 2nd drive Bay. Can hear both drives running. Doesn't appear in disk management.

  There is a review of YouTube mobile of that same computer laptop and it shows a 2nd HARD drive installed and working.

  My BIOS boot order does not list only 1 of 2 separate HDD shows primary and secondary diagnostic tests.

  My BIOS is very, very basic and is not very many options.

  Would be - that the problem be attributed to the speed (7200) faster or the power supply to the new HARD drive?

  The service guide says that you have a hard drive configuration 2 x 320 GB 5400 RPM, but I don't think that the speed must be at 5400 RPM. However, the speed of the two drives should be the same I guess. As 2 x 7200 rpm or 2 x 5400 RPM...

• Secondary HDD not recognized

  I recently bought a used HP CD7100 CMT desktop computer and I try to install a secondary (or slave) antibody SATA hard drive.

  It is the first computer I owned with SATA drives and I can't recognize the drive volley.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  You said high school you are trying to install is a SATA drive.  There are no jumpers on the SATA drives. I assume you are using a SATA data and power connector.  If so, the two drives appear actually in the BIOS?  If so, the hard drive is formatted?

  To format the hard drive, go to control panel, system and Maintenance, administrative tools, computer management, and on the left margin click on disk management.  On the screen, you should see a volume that is not assigned.  Right-click on the new volume and select 'Format '.  The format will take a while depending on the size of the hard drive, but it shows the percentage of completion at the top of the window.  Make sure you don't accidentally format your main drive.

• Satellite L670 - 1JP external HDD not recognized at startup

  I bought an external hard drive Samsung G3. The first time I plugged it, it was directly recognized by my Toshiba Satellite L670-1JP and worked without any problems.

  But later almost whenever I start my computer, it is not the external hard drive. Then I have to disconnect reconnect en USB connection several times to make it work.

  It is your time, so how can I solve this problem?

  Hello

  Other USB devices work properly in the laptop Satellite L?

  Have you tested this disk external DRIVE with other computers/laptops?

  I think that you should do this because it might be an external HARD drive failure.

• External SATA drive not recognized in Windows 7

  I use a SATA Sabrent USB adapter to connect an old hard drive Samsung SATA with Windows XP on it to my new Windows 7 laptop.  The older hard drive a lot of files on what I would like to transfer through.  After I have the hard drive lights and then connect the USB adapter to the laptop, I see the message that the drivers have been installed, but no hard drive does not appear in the my computer window or in the disk management window.  Indeed, these windows will usually hang after that I connected the drive.  This could be a problem with the drivers not installed, or is there something else?  Any help is appreciated, I really want to recover the files from my old hard drive!

  Hello

  1. the hard drive is compatible with Windows 7?

  2. do you get an error code in Device Manager?

  3. What is the model of the Samsung drive?

  Method 1:

  I suggest you to connect the device to a different USB port and check if it helps.

• Store TV 2 to - HDD not recognized in Windows 7

  My camera 2 TB store TV is no longer recognized by Windows 7.

  I went into Device Manager and the device is listed as "Unknown".
  So, in the device Mgr I uninstalled / reinstalled but still no joy.

  I think that the problem is a corrupted driver.

  I searched the Toshiba site and cannot find a driver for the device.
  Anyone know where I can get one?

  Hello

  This HARD drive is a Plug n Play device, which means that additional drivers aren t necessary.

  The question is: any other computer recognize the HARD drive?
  Have you checked all USB ports?

  This HARD disk can be connected directly to the TV via HDMI.
  It work?
