Internal SATA hard drive does not come with Windows 7

It's quite strange.

Computer has 4 SATA and 2 DVD discs.

Windows 7 sees only 3 drives. Does not even appear in disk management... It is not the case to find.

The missing disk is partitioned in ~ 100 GB, which contains a working copy of Windows XO Sp3 and a second empty partition (~ 400 Gb).

It manifests itself in Bios and I can even boot from the WinXP partition (selected through the bios).

In Windows XP, I see all 4 disks in disk management/Explorer, etc..

But when I boot on Windows 7, the entire disk is no where (no, it isn't there with a letter from non - drive is not there).

Have even tried switching around SATA cables, but still no effect.

Any ideas?

Thanx

Solved...

I ran a "scan for hardware changes" in Device Manager and it finds the empty partition on the disk. Curiously, he has not found the XP partition. Scanned a bit more time and nothing that the partition is empty. Restarted (actually shutting down) and re-ran the scan and it found all!

Thanks for your help :)

  • Canvio Plus 2.5 "1 TB external HARD drive does not work with USB 3.0

    I've had this drive for about a month.

    I am on Windows 7

    I can only operate by connecting to USB 2.0 ports. It is then visible in 'My Computer'.

    If I connect to USB 3.0, it turns on the case but does not appear in 'My Computer'.

    I tried it on all my USB ports 3.0 - up on one and two in the back of my case.

    I checked my BIOS and USB 3.0 is enabled.

    I tried to follow the suggestions in the user manual, but the drive does not appear in the management of so connected devices on USB 3.0, but it does when connected in USB 2.0.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    As much as I know the Windows 7 system requires installation of additional USB 3.0 driver.

    Many laptops and computers use USB 3.0 driver that was released by Intel... it is because of Intel chipset...

    I guess that USB 3.0 is already installed, but probably you need to update the driver at least to the newest version...

  • How to activate the faults COMMITTED to an internal SATA hard drive, but not the other, on Vista Home Premium 32-bit?

    I have a set of 17-inch laptop 2008 which contains two hard drive bays internal, purchased in June.  It came with a single hard drive (traditional spinning disc).  It is running Service Pack 2, Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

    My SATA controller is an Intel 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7-M family); I think it's a first-generation SATA controller (1.5 Gbps).

    I received recently a 160 GB Intel X - 25 M SSD (second generation SATA, but it is fully compatible with the first generation controllers, without additional or jumpers configuration) as a gift from my wife.  I removed my first hard drive completely, installed the SSD in the main Bay and installed Windows, drivers and the Intel SSD utility.  I then reinstalled my HDD original in the second span, completely wiped and reformatted it as a partition; It currently contains my music and other multimedia files.

    The utility Intel SSD tells me I should activate DIPM for my SSD as opposed to HIPM.  This seems to take a bit of tinkering to make Vista, and my situation is further complicated by the presence of my HARD drive (original) secondary, which prefer to use HIPM.

    I read the article on the Microsoft Web site on editing the registry to activate the misconduct, and it's something I would feel comfortable doing. However, I don't want my SSD to use DIPM, my HARD drive is expected to continue to use HIPM, and I was afraid that the proposed fix would allow the misconduct for all readers.

    Could someone let me know how I can activate DIPM for my SSD while continuing to use HIPM to my HARD drive, I'd be very grateful.

    EDIT: My Maintenance of SSD utility said simply that the State of the settings DIPM/HIPM "could not be determined." if Vista automatically selects the correct setting and the SSD utility does not just understand that, which makes my life a lot easier. but it would be nice to know for sure, so I can forget it all (if Vista already defined for me) or change the setting (if Vista did not automatically choose food appropriate for each disk management mode).

    You will need two SATA controllers: both on board or an edge and the other on PCI - E.

    Configure one who does not need TRIM/DIPM (do not use a SSD) as non-AHCI (compatible IDE/ATA-6) in the BIOS and the other (where TRIM/DIPM will be used) as AHCI.

    Connect the drive to which you DIPM AHCI controller. See http://www.abxzone.com/forums/f155/tip-how-enable-dipm-ssds-windows-120968.html for more information.

  • STOR. E partner HARD drive does not work with USB 2.0

    Hi all

    I recently purchased a 1 TB STOR. E partner HDD and it worked without any problems on my laptop Macbook Pro which has only USB 2.0 ports.

    A few days ago, the HARD drive has been disconnected from the laptop without ejecting first, and now it isn't recognized more than my laptop.

    I tried on a PC Windows with USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports and discovered that it is recognized when I plug in the port 3.0 but not on version 2.0.

    What should I do to have the HARD drive works again with USB 2.0?

    Many thanks in advance,
    Eduardo

    > I tried on a Windows PC with USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports and discovered that it is recognized when I plug in the port 3.0 but not on version 2.0.

    Stor.E partner HDD needs maximum power of my 900.
    The USB 2.0 port provides 500mA just
    If you can connect the HARD drive to two USB 2.0 ports using a USB cable in Y
    Or another option: connect a USB hub with external power supply between the HARD drive and the USB 2.0 port

  • TOSHIBA external hard drive does not work with Mac

    Finally, I used my Toshiba external hard drive on my MacBook Pro in December. I want to keep all my photos, and I've always been able to add new photos to it and delete the 'old' out of it. I plugged it today to add more photos, and it is not letting me. I went to the sharing & preferences and he read that when he used to say, read and write. I went to the info, and I noticed, it says that the format is Windows. Why he did change and why can't I use it? Can I fix it? Thanks in advance

    Looks like you have formatted the NTFS drive that is read-only for OS X. Copy data to another drive, then partition and format the drive correctly for use on a Mac.

  • "My external hard drive does not appear in Windows Explorer and cannot open 'Help and Support', an error message" Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing.

    Original title:

    Everything was fine until yesterday. Juice now, when I plugged the external HD into the USB port it does not appear in the 'my computer' window. It is recognized by the computer as it is present on the list of the "Disk Clean Up" and it also appears when I click on ' Safe Remove Hardware ' on the taskbar. But if she does not appear in the 'my computer' window I can't work with it or don't even know what it I have arquived in it.

    Trying to find a solution, I realized that same 'information system' to 'System tools' is also not available. Pops up a window saying that "Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing enforcement. " To resolve this problem, start the service named help and Support '. OK, I tried to open 'Help and Support' ' Start Menu ' and the same window appeared again to "not have a system service that runs". I don't know what her soul precisely and I have not the slightest idea of what I need to do to correct this 'disappearance' of Service 'system '. There is nothing without the appearance of HD in the window of thw work? Everything else works fine and the calculation is virus-free. What should I do?

    Hello

    I'm trying to get WIFI on my Satellite X 200 XP. I downloaded the drivers of these 'wlan-intel-1244-7147"but still no luck, also after installing these drivers, I get an error when I stopped saying" sample program does not.

  • USB Flash drive does not work with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

    I have several USB thumb drives, some of them do not work when I plug them in while others work very well. By experimenting, I reduced the problem with the 64-bit Version Windows. All of these USB keys works well in my other computers that have 32-bit installed and also even computer with the 32-bit version installed on different hard drive. All of these thumdrives are detected immediately and works without a problem. The 64-bit version, I have uninstalles and reinstalled readers, drivers updated for readers and controllers USB chipset, reasigning letter drive without a resolution of the problem.

    It is interesting to know that this problem only occurs with some discs that I (like Ativa 4 GB, 4 GB generic and Verbatim 4 GB). While I discovered that you can do all the nonworking day thumdrives work once if you shutdown computer and plug the thumdrive into the USB port and the computer to boot, boot time is longer than usual and when it is operational in 30 to 45 seconds drive appears in the list of devices and you can read, write and format normally without any problem to experiment. When you pull chase him and reconnect to USB port after 10 seconds same problem appears aggai. First of all, you get the message that the disk must be formatted and if you try to format you will get a message that windows cannot format the drive. If you try to access the drive, you get message that Drive is not accessible. If I take this player and plug it from 32-bit without problem, you see all the files in the drive and are able to read the writing and the format is normally.

    I'd appreciate if I am able to get an answer as a way to solve the problem.

    Pavan

    When you disconnected the battery of the laptop, you did, be sure to press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds?  This causes the rest of completely discharge power.

    This tip came in practice more than once in my experience.   ^_^
