  Second disk sata hard of not appearing is not on my computer and disk management. However, the hard drive is displayed in the bios. I am running windows 8 and the hard drive has been used in another cpu with linux installed on it, I want to format the hard drive and use it to store data.

  Hello

  Yes, it should work... I didn't know that you were able to do...

  If you can remove the entire partitions... If you can reformat it to NTFS on Linux, you do too much, or just wait and do in Windows.

  Parted Magic is actually a program Linux incidentally...

  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...

  I have a hitachi lifestudio external hard drive and it works great 50% of the time... the other 50%, I fight because it not being recognized on my computer or laptop (both vista).  I plugged it to my computer now and it will only recognize the player but is not the one with my files that I need.  I have two USB cords connected and it was working fine yesterday!  Now all of a sudden it won't work at all.  I got and rehooked many times now and still nothing.  Other USB ports are filled with our wireless mouse and others.  Is there a way to force vista to recognize something?

• USB drive not recognized in windows 7 but is recognized in windows xp

  I downloaded music files from my computer windows xp on a sandisk cruzer usb flash drive. I tried to download these files to my new laptop with windows 7, but the laptop has stated that it does not recognize the device. What I d0 now?

  I have a 2 GB SanDisk Cruzer so I'm sure it 'll work with Windows 7. It is possible that the Sandisk has installed a software owner and Windows don't is not running. There is an updated version of the US software on SanDisk site which may help.
  http://KB.SanDisk.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/3682/SNO/0

  Personally, I would remove the U3 of the reader software because it is NOT necessary for training at work. I had to search the disk and launch a program to "delete" in the Launchpad folder on the drive. Once removed, it should work without interference from this program.

  Here is a link to the SanDisk site as well. You should be able to easily do the XP.

• XPS 8700 2nd hard drive Bay access

  I want to install an SSD in my Dell XPS 8700 system. Once I opened the side panel, I noticed there was a Bay that said second hard drive. Exactly how you can access this Bay? You cannot mount the drive, sliding to the rear, because the power supply works in the way. Then of course, she must cross the front. You physically remove the front panel of the computer? I hate doing this, because something always breaks i.e. clips, some son gets snatch etc. I guess I could remove the power temporarily.

  Thank you

  Please refer to page no. 40 in the link below to remove and replace the secondary hard drive on Dell XPS 8700.

• 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.

• Equium - HARD drive not recognized in Windows XP

  I replaced the HARD drive in the laptop, because the original had a catastrophic faulure. I replaced the HARD drive correctly (as far as I can see) but when I come to re - install Windows XP HARD drive may not be recognized.

  Any ideas?

  Hi potters.

  What model of laptop you have exactly?

  It would be important to know because if you have a model that uses SATA hard drives need drivers Intel Storage Manager you can install Windows XP.

  But in this case, you should check other forum threads. You will find hundreds of discussions on installing XP on SATA hard drive.

• Western digital external USB 2.0 500 GB hard drive not recognized by Windows 7 Explorer. How can I fix it? ___Thank you for your help.

  The hard drive worked well until KB2398632 & KB2347290 updates have been downloaded and installed on 16/09/10.  Hard drive works fine on my Vista machine at work.

  On my own machine (Windows 7), the drive is seen in my BIOS.  He also appeared in the "features and properties" of the control panel Windows 7 and the 'properties' indicates that the device is functioning properly.  The pilot is also updated.

  It does not appear in the Windows 7 Explorer under 'computer '. Only the C: drive is indicated.

  My AMD South Bridge set drivers are up to date my USB 3.0 being drivers.

  Western Digital 500 GB external hard drive is several years old.

  two updates have no effect to detect the hardware. It was an IE and and update printer spooler. Remove it from the Device Manager and plug it into another USB port. "A programmer is just a tool that converts the caffeine in code" Deputy CLIP - http://www.winvistaside.de/

• Replacing the hard drive on my Pavilion dv6 - 3150ee but the bios is not recognize it.

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6-3150ee. my original hard drive was broken. I bought a western digital 500 GB 5400 Sata 2.

  I installed the hard drive and made the recovery. Everything went well past and ok. When completed recovery operation, the system has restarted to continue the installation of hard drives but I got this message: no boot device insert boot disk and press any key.

  so I went to the bios and tested the memory and the hard drive and all was ok. I tried to get into my bios, advanced options, but it isn't everything. My bios version is F.12.

  I don't know what the problem is, and I will be thanksful for any help.

  N.B: I have my recovery discs and my windows repair disc.

  Thank you.

  The new hard drive sometimes requires to prepare first with utility cd from Cyberlink. Download and save the file. Once the download is complete, place a blank cd in your drive and click on the file to create a boot cd. Start with this cd and wait until you get a green check mark indicates the hard disk is ready. Remove the cd, insert the first disc of recovery and restart the laptop.

• Bay DVD replace HARD drive not recognized by Windows

  I have a 7737 with the 256 GB SSD, but I wanted more storage internally and was not too annoyed to have DVD - so I bought a caddy and replaced the optical drive with a WD Scorpio Black 750 GB drive.

  When I went into administration - computer management - disk management tools, he acknowledged that the drive was there because he told me that he needed reprogramming - so I went ahead and let him. The disc quickly disappeared from the list, and I can't do anything that he can come back.

  I tried to refresh, rescan the drives, restart (how can I confirm the BIOS recognizes the drive correctly, as the "SATA ODD', but Windows still refuses to acknowledge that he is here.) Device Manager displays only the SSD and scanning for hardware changes have no effect.

  Maybe it's a coincidence, but now my laptop seems a touch slow, especially in the graphics... and I noticed that in the Task Manager, System interrupts now takes 10 percent of time CPU on average. I can't say that I've never noticed that before. My old Samsung laptop (which has integrated graphics rather than a dedicated card, to be honest) claims system interrupts doesn't take any time at all CPU. This seems to suggest a conflict any exist, and maybe that's why the drive is not recognized?

  Because Device Manager is not see it, I can't check for updated drivers.

  Because disk management can't see, I can't format / partition / assign a drive letter.

  The BIOS does not let me do anything with the drive, go into properties or disable / re-enable, or something like that.

  Can anyone suggest what I might have missed in the configuration, or what I can do to fix this?

  Thanks in advance.

  Unfortunately, I can't find a downloadable diagnosis for your laptop. Try Seatools. Seagate website has a download, that you can use to create a CD bootable or flash player to test hard drives.

  I just want to see if a tool outside Windows can detect the drive and all the problems.

• Maxtor One Touch 4 external hard drive not recognized by Windows 7 64 bit

  It does not appear in Device Manager, and disk management.

  I tried all 8 USB ports on my computer.

  I have it plugged into different outlets (light still on) and tested it on other computers running Vista 32 bit and XP.

  The drive works fine on other computers, but not my new computer running Windows 7 64 bit.   Microsoft Compatibility Checker stated that this player should work with Windows 7 64 bit.

• VMWare 3 - increase size of hard drive not recognized by Windows 7

  I use a Mac Intel Core 2 Duo since early 2008 Mac OS x 10.6.8.

  One thing that I have not been able to understand the book on VMWare 3 is the following. After I increase the size of the disk in the component library of Virtual Machine, my Windows 7 system does not recognize the increase in size. I am referring on the C: drive that is visible in the window of the accessible computer on the start menu. I increased the size of the disk of 50 GB, but Windows still considers that it is limited to the old size, 40 GB.

  This remains the case even after I have shut the virtual machine down and it start up.

  Anyone know how I can get Windows to recognize and use the new space, I put available?

  Welcome to the community,

  After you increase the size of the virtual disk, you need to change or increase the partition in the guest operating system. You can do this by using disk management in Windows 7 (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1004071).
