• Second SATA hard drive not detected by Bios and Device Manager

  Original title: second SATA hard drive

  Hard drive not detected by the Bios and the device under Vista Home Premiun Manager

  Hi trinitario,.

  Because the hard drive is not detected in the BIOS also, it may be due to a hard drive configuration that should be changed or a rider. If you need to get in touch with a Local tech-store for assistance.

  Note: change in the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Hope this information is helpful

• Hard drive not detected 50% of the time to start up

  I have a model of Macbook Pro mid 2012 with the following changes:

  • Upgrade to 16 GB Ram
  • DVD player, replaced by Bay and old (existing) 500 GB hard drive for storage
  • Hard drive replaced with 250 GB SSD (Samsung EVO 850)
  • Windows via Bootcamp 10
  • Mac OS X Yosemite
  • Refind installed at startup

  Recently, my existing SSD drive gave me a lot of questions - so I'm a new and SuperDuper'ed the existing on it. Formatted the Windows partition and reinstalled Windows 10.

  I have 50 GB on the Mac drive and 200 concerts on Windows.

  The issue that I am facing is that on every other bootup, the Mac does not detect the hard drive.

  If I OPTION-press and hold the button, I see only the 500 Gig data drive (which is not bootable).

  Then, I need to restart and COMMAND + R (or D) to enter the internet recovery mode, wait until the choice of network is displayed.

  Then when I reboot, I am presented with the original hard drive and multiple start options (Mac / Windows) on Refind.

  I don't think it's a matter of refind, as happens even with uninstalled Refind.

  This does not happen when I plug my old (SSD by default).

  What could go wrong on the new hard drive and I can barely turn the question?

  Thank you.

  What are the contents of the disc in hand and Optibay Bay?

• Hard drive not detected after adding 2nd mSATA SSD for HP Envy 14 1002tx

  Hello

  I'm having a problem when adding an extra mSATA SSD for my HP Envy 1002tx model.

  The laptop comes with a 500 GB HARD drive and I see that there is a 2.5 "mSATA SSD slot under the HARD drive, so I bought the same type of SSD and installed it but when I turn on the laptop, it does not introduce yourself. I don't know why?

  I want to have an SSD for boot up the laptop and HARD drive to store animals.

  If anyone knows if there is any software I have to install in order for the laptop to recognize the SSD?

  OR

  Is - this material is defective?

  Thank you in advance!

  Remove the hard drive and try to start only with the mSATA SSD.

  Did this and it showed "No. Bootable Device Insert boot disk and press any key"

  I'm really sorry, I could not find this before, but the slot under the hard drive is not compatible with the mSATA disks. It's for WWAN modules! Your laptop is not like 4 I thought, but Envy 14 equipped with the first generation of Intel processors. Envy 14-Sandy Bridge 2000 series could be BIOS modded to make the miniPCI-e interface works with the mSATA disks but Envy 14-1000 series is not possible to change.

  Edit: 2.5 "drive 256GB solid state drive is listed as compatible.

• Pavilion 15-p080ca hard drive not detected in Win8, 03F1 0021 03F0 Bios errors, impossible to recover

  Hello

  I bought a new laptop from Windows 8 15-p080ca tigerdirect.ca Pavilion and he received a couple of days.

  The computer restarts randomly when working on it, I remember reading an IO error message in a popup windows.

  Since then, he constantly reboot, tries to load windows, fails and restarts until the auto repair is involved.

  Journal of the system BIOS has to many warnings and error: 03F0, 03F1, 0021.  I had about 3 times a hard drive not found error on POST.

  I can't repair the installation either by partition recovery or recovery discs, I get "the disc is locked error" or "auto repair could not fix your pc.

  Also Manager of recovery can not find the recovery partition.

  On the command prompt diskpart list disk;  "There is no fixed disk to show.

  However, the live cd Ubuntu and xp Mini are able to see all the partitions, view files and read them, a quick HDtune read test indicates no disk error.

  The computer is able to read disk hard since I am able to get on the recovery and windows tries to load until I get "your pc ran into a problem that he couldn't handle and must be restarted.

  HP PC Hardware diagnostic SMART test, short DST returns warning.  Diagnostic test of smart HP returned message 'no hard drive installed' only once.

  Whatever it is that the base Windows 8, if the recovery disc, original media is not able to see the hard drive.

  I tried to boot the recovery disc, the recovery partition with each combination of Legacy support and secure start to recover partitions without success because the hard drive is not detected (from diskpart list disk command).  The recovery DVDs, I get an error 0xefffff08. I also tried to remove the thought of recovery partition that he might want to move things faster.

  Well, after many hours of research and testing, I think I tried everything I could do and would need support for additional testing or replacement of the defective material.

  Thank you very much in advance for your help,.

  Contacted HP Support, laptop, go to the repair center.  Probably the location of the hard drive to the motherboard as they said.

• Hard drive not detected once, but now?

  Hello

  I am Zak, a bit of techno when it comes to playing with the software, or re-Assembly of computers and whatnot. Unfortunately, I have no idea about other things.

  Some quick history on my laptop: the fan was made terrible noises in recent weeks. Initially, I thought it was little dust, so I got a few duster. A lot of dust came out, so that can only be good, but the noise came back after a few days. After some research, I thought that the other logical explanation was probably the hard drive goes bad. I hesitate to send back to HP because I use it for all my college work and it would really put me back weeks to have it not.

  So, a few days ago I booted my computer laptop at a "drive not detected" - or very similar - message. There were a few options for f1 - f4, they were information system and 3 different tests (I think). I ran the tests, all of them came back fine, noting that there are no operating system installed, or a hard drive to boot from. I rebooted because I didn't quite start and wanted to see if there were other options. It turns out that he has started well. I restarted once more and again once it did it very well.

  Then, I coded around, back up all my data, gather warranty information, installation of the HP Support Assistant, etc. I ran all the tests help Wizard and there is no problems found. Since I just got the laptop hibernation when I stop using it, and I have not met any unusual problems. All this sounds great, but my warranty expires December 7 this year. It is safe for me to assume that the "drive not detected" error was just one missed? I read a lot of discussions and FAQS on him and it's not something that happens once and goes. However, I never had to use a warranty so not sure quite how the process works, and as I said, he sent everywhere would put me in my work.

  In order to be a full post, I have a HP G62 - 367DX laptop, running on Windows 7 64-bit OS, and as far as I know there no change was made between error and my prior boot. If there is any other information I can give you, let me know.

  See you soon, thank you for all help and good day

  The wizard tests are not as comprehensive or reliable as the drive hard test in the BIOS... tap F10 as you power up, go and find the hard drive test. Run the long form test and see what it says. It is not uncommon that the hard drive start as intermittent and get progressively more frequent problems. If your drive passes the test of long form, only enough safely, you can assume that it was a unique gremlin, but it's still a really good idea to back up. I like the idea of online backup services and I will quote Carbonite only because it is well known and not as an endorsement. There are several more and year external drive is a good idea.

  You can't put off forever; restarting You'll have to deal with the issue at some point.

• External hard drive not detected with the error: "You must format the disk in the J: drive until you can use it."

  Hello

  I have an external hard drive to work perfectly. I'm back from vacation, and it does not appear under "My Computer". It appears under "Devices and printers", however. This is a link to a screencap of Device Manager: http://i.gyazo.com/9e91e1d71ed32c55dba0419e79b499d5.png

  The device in question is that of J:, and it says here that he has 100% free space, that worries me, because he had only 50 GB of free space when I used the latter. After that I open the disk management, I get a pop up message saying: "You must format the disk in the J: drive until you can use it."

  How can I get my hard drive appears again?

  Thank you

• External SSD hard drive not detected by Airport Extreme/Time Capsule

  Hello everyone, I have the following problem:

  Framework

  -J' bought a 1 TB Samsung SSD 840 EVO internal media.

  -He is locked in a case of badges and used as an external hard drive

  -J' have an Airport Extreme (5th generation)

  -J' have a Time Capsule (4th Gen)

  -My MBP detects the SSD external hard drive when it is connected to the USB port and works fine

  Problem

  -I connect the external SSD hard drive to the USB port on both TCapsule and AExtreme, but the HD is not detected directly (USD and with powered hub of USD)

  -HD was formatted as OS x journaled Extended

  -J' tried smb and cifs via 'connect to server', but does not work.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Unfortuantely, Apple did not update the firmware on the USB key (it is still 2.0) port on their routers for a number of years.  As a result, new USB 3.0 drives may or may not work with airports.

  Yes, we know that USB 3.0 is supposed to be backward compatible with USB 2.0 in theory, but theory does not always work in practice.

  If your drive is formatted as Mac OS extended (journaled)... also called HFS +... .and you have tried the drive with and without a USB hub powered and the reader will not be displayed with you check using the AirPort Utility disks tab... then you have one of a number of readers who do not work with routers from the airport.

  I just checked a new LaCie USB 3.0 drive I have here. It works perfectly with a Mac, but it appears not at all when I connect it to the USB port or a powered new AirPort Extreme or new Time Capsule directly, or by using a USB hub.

• HP Elitedesk 800 G2 SFF: external hard drive not detected in the BIOS. Only USB Flash drives are detected.

  Hi all

  I received recently 2 new HP desktop computers.

  HP Elitedesk 800 G2 SFF

  HP Elitedesk 800 G2 TWR

  The goal is to test our real W7 x 64 image on these machines and to inject the missing drivers in the image.

  MDT 2010 to create a deployment on a USB hard disk drive.

  This disc of deployment is already used on 16 different models of HP in the company (Elitebook, zBook, EliteDesk) to install our image so I know it works.

  Unfortunately, the two HP Elitedesk 800 G2, I can't start the boot disk but I cannot to USB for a USB key.

  The USB drive is not detected and not proposed in the BIOS Menu of STARTUP.

  Only the internal HD, external USB Flash Disk, DVD and network devices are detected.

  Here's what I already checked or tried:

  • Latest Version of the BIOS installed (2.05)
  • UEFI Boot has been disabled. (not supported by our record of deployment)
  • USB ports are enabled (front and rear).
  • All types of USB devices are allowed in the BIOS
  • The start command has been changed to start with USB devices.
  • Legacy support is active and Secure Boot disabled
  • Delete the keys to secure boot
  • Reset secure by default startup keys
  • This morning, I created a new disk deployment on a USB Flash drive and it works!

  So, it seems that only Flash USB drives are detected.

  I know it is possible to return the flag removalble on a USB device to cheat the system and make it appear as a disk fixed, but I want a simple solution.

  Does anyone know a fix or a workaround for this problem?

  Thanks in advance!

  For those interested in the answer, here's the final results.

  It turns out that the hard 500 GB external drive can be detected if it is fomatted in FAT32.

  It's strange because my 16 GB USB Flash drive formatted in NTFS works very well.

  In any case, I'll create a FAT32 Partition to the Boot MDT files and put my picture (because the file is too big for FAT32 partition) on the secondary partition (formatted as NTFS).

  Thanks to the technical pre-sales team of HP who helped me with this!

• 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/

• External hard drive not detected in Windows 8

  I just bought a Dell XPS 13, running Windows 8.

  I have two external hard drives from LaCie.

  Disc 1 is used with a Lenovo X120e running Windows 7.

  Disc 2 has two partitions, exclusively for my Macbook Pro running 10.9.5 and the other smaller partition is used to move files between Lenovo and the Macbook.

  When I connect Drive 1 to the XPS 13, nothing happens. It is not turn nor it appears in Device Manager.

  If I turn it on to Lenovo, it works very well.

  When I connect Drive 2 to the XPS 13 (to the same USB port and using the same cable), he turns and is detected.

  If the port is working, pilots work, cable works and Drive 1 works when connected to the Lenovo running Windows 7.

  How can I get the XPS 13 to recognize Drive 1? There must be a way to do this without formatting again.

  Thank you.

  The drive is visible in the BIOS or the mode without failure on the XPS 13?

  You can also try to paginate the connection of the power supply in the drive that works.

• NB100 - 11G - HARD drive not detected during installation of Windows XP

  I have a Toshiba NB100 - 11G with Win XP Home and a 160 GB HD RAM upgraded 1 024 to 2 GB. Recently, I tried to install Win Pro SP3. However, it did not work and the message was that the hard drive was not recognized. I have no problem restoring with the provided Toshiba Recovery CD (which has Win XP Home).

  Does anyone have an idea why I couldn't install Win XP Pro? Could it be related to my RAM upgrade? (The only thing I changed.)

  Thanks for a response. Sincerely, Allan.

  Hello

  The problem is that you integrate the driver SATA Windows XP can detect the internal HARD drive. Otherwise, you get a blue screen or the HARD drive is not detected.

  With the help of nLite (freeware tool), you can create a new drive to install XP with SATA driver package. This is described here:

• Hard drive not detected on Satellite Pro 4270

  I took out the 2 "5 HDD of my SP4270 to transfer data to my PC via an EIDE 5 3" 5-2"adapter, HD has been detected by the bios of my PC and the transfer was successful.
  Then I reinserted the Bay 2 "5 for laptop from my hard drive, but I get the message"Insert system disk in drive.".
  I checked the boot priority in the setup and it shows a HDD-> CD-> sequence FDD.
  In the DISKS to bios section, I see HDD = IDE (1F0H/IRQ14) primary.

  I extracted and reinsert the disc again, hard, but without result.
  What could be the problem?

  Hello

  It is not easy to say what is happening here. Please when you pull it out HARD drive remove the connection of the power supply and the battery first.

  Check all the pins on the HARD drive. I hope they are all okay.
  Try to enter the HARD disk using the disk boot or applications in MS-DOS mode. If there is no success there is a hardware problem.
