LaCie hard disk is not compatible windows 7?

I recently bought a new HP Folio 13, with Windows 7 on it. I tried to connect it to my Neil Poulton hard drive LaCie 1 TB 7200 RPM external hard drive, but it does not; the device has detected a new device, will ensure for drivers and compatibility, without finding any problem and the Lacie appears in the list of devices connected to the pc, but I can't access it. In the "computer" menu section, I can see units C: and D:, but even if the hard drive is detected by the computer, it does not show there. Check on the Microsoft Web site, it says that this particular unit should not be working with Windows 7, so what is the problem?

Yes, the hard drive works perfectly fine on all other computers I tested it.
Thank you

First of all - what file system is formatted with?

Second - does show in disk management?

Third - contact LaCie. They made it, they support.

  • Cannot install windows XP it said hard drives are not connected & windows can not find the hard drives

    I got an asus computer notebook windows vista, upgrade from vista to windows 7, now I'm not able to do a clean install of windows xp, when I try to install XP, it says that hard drives are not connected & windows cannot find not the hard drives, so once again installed windows 7, is there a way to overcome this problem Why do I get the message windows xp does not detect hard drives? I even formatted the hard drive & tried to install Xp, but still, I get the same message.

    The answers will be appreciated...

    Thank you

    Because the Windows XP installation CD does not have the necessary disk controller drivers.  You will need a floppy drive to provide the drivers of controller for the installation program, or you will need to burn a CD of Windows XP with the controller drivers slipstreamed into the installation.  A CD of Windows XP with SP2 included may have the necessary drivers.

  • How to disable the file hiding (changing options for hard disk does not work)

    Hi all

    I hope someone can help me with the following problem:

    -J' need to open a file of 16 GB of content in third party software (Stata) who reads completely in memory.

    -Due to Windows caching file, necessary to get the procedure done about 32 GB cache files and Stata access physical memory.

    -As I have only 24 GB of physical RAM file is read later part of virtual memory, which leads to serious performance problems.

    I unchecked the box 'Enable write on the device cache' to my hard drive. That did not help. Is there a way to disable the Cache during PLAYBACK of files?

    Thank you very much in advance for any help!

    Tobi

    The write cache and virtual memory are different. Virtual memory is an extension of the physical memory residing on the HARD disk where Windows is installed. Normally, the virtual memory is about twice the size of the current physical memory. Write cache is an exclusive setting for external hard drives only and has no effect in internal hard drives.

    In your case, please note that full 24GO of RAM will not be allocated to the program. At least 1 GB will be reserved for windows, so the rest of the programs are moved to virtual memory, which means that the HARD drive. It is not recommended to disable virtual memory because it can cause stability problems. In addition, the files are not copied directly in memory, even if they are big. Instead, the parts of the file are available and this area, including the incremental values and material, are stored in the memory. So if all of a sudden, you access an area of the file which is very far away from the previous location, it takes time as the new area, as well as differentials and material value of a few bytes is also copied to the memory. The box of files previously displayed is erased from the memory.

    For performance improvements, you can go for the SSD, RAM with higher clock speed (must be compatible with the motherboard) as processor as well as the upgrade. However, please note that the process of accessing a file even as mentioned previously, but the speed will increase because of the higher bandwidth and the clock frequency.

  • Satellite Pro L650 - hard disk is not initialized.

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L650 and I am having some problems.

    It all started a few weeks ago, I received the dreaded screen black death (windows could start, but then just came up with a black screen and a cursor. After playing well, I thought that a reinstall of windows would do the trick.

    It worked, but none of my pilots have been installed... After much research, I found my Toshiba repair disc. I put in and went to fix it. At half way through formatting the drive, it came with an error, saying that he was unable to delete a specific file, it asked me to reset.

    So I reset, and it came with a screen with "this disc is not initialized, Please initialize now."
    So I pressed Yes, and it resets, it came with the same screen. and again and again.

    So that's where I am. It is only a year old, and already got the replaced disk. I'm desperate difficulty, I don't want it to become a grammage of paper-dear...

    First of all I m wondering why the message appeared saying that the disk is not initialized have you used the Toshiba restore for the OS installation disc or have you used any other Windows disc?

    On the other hand, it might be possible that your HARD drive is malfunctioning, the cursor blinking in the upper left corner is a sign for this fault
    So I recommend you to check the HARD drive. Use a tool like Drive Fitness Test, for example, it helps you to check the HARD disk
    If errors will be displayed so the HARD drive needs to be replaced

    Hello

    As far as I know that booting from USB stick or HARD drive is not supported by the BIOS for this series of mobile.
    As far as I know you can boot from the HARD, ODD, LAN and USB FDD (floppy) disk, but I think that you can not boot from USB HDD.

  • Changed the original after imaging HARD disk but can get Windows 7 valid

    A SONY VIAO bought in 2010 with a 500 GB hard drive. Started to get those bad guys, messages "imminent HARD drive failure" has created an image using Acronys on a new hard drive of 1 t and traded in. Everything went well until I started getting messages "your computer is not running genuine Windows" (rror code 0xc8000247).  Did all the research, including the call the MS Product Activation Center and the robo-man to give the key that came. Robo-man returned and says invalid key, back to the drawing board (buy W7 for $108, backup all data and programs, install and rebuild the contents of the hard drive). SONY said that they would not help me because I had replaced the hard disk provided with the system. Even though it was about to fail, I should put it back in and call to hide...

    So now what should I do?  I have the product key (from the label under the system), the Windows ID of the information system...

  • Satellite P300 - 190 PSPC2C - water spill and the HARD disk does not appear on the Setup

    Dried, but did not recognize the HDD start up and HDD does not Set - up.
    Moved the HARD drive to another location of the HARD drive on the laptop and it appears at startup and boot OK.
    Is there an easy way to find and repair the defective HARD drive slot?

    Thanks for any help.

    PK

    Hello

    The HARD drive slot is not repairable. It s a HARD disk controller and I guess the HARD disk controller is dead.
    The HARD disk controller is part of the motherboard and if you want to repair it, so the entire motherboard must be replaced.

    New motherboard would cost a small fortune he of not good about market 350Euros
    That's why I put t think it is s to replace the mobo only to get the HARD drive in the first location of work

    This is my personal opinion...

  • External hard disk is not recognized in my computer

    My external Western Digital USB hard drive is not recognized in my computer.

    I see it in Device Manager and computer management/disk management but not in my computer.

    Update driver, a refreshed in disk management and several reboots.

    The external hard drive is there but not recognized on my computer.

    I need to restore from this external hard drive, but I can't access it.

    most of the answers deals with reformatting... the original post says he wants recover from this drive to reformat does not help... the external usb drives, equipped with cables that have 2 ends of usb, connect the two in to; separated on the MB, separate usb hubs usb ports it is because power is causing problems (current rises to voltage drops) then sometimes access to the drive causes the voltage on a single falling down USB, think the os it's read-only / permission issues, with 2 connected to separate power sources the question goes... they were built that way...

    I also recommend to never put a USB through a third party hub as more often which can cause problems with the unrecognized drive.

    That said, yes I had to reformat to access a drive, if you cannot write to a disc rclick and observe the permissions, if you have formatted the drive on another pc and not changed the permissions for everyone, then under sercurity see you permissions set on a long number, it is because he is always set to original pc (or the id of this pc). Sometimes you can over the way these parameters by taking possession (in the s parameters) and reset to everyone on the local pc.

    Something else I found on the disc is not recognized... Plug it into the usb port as described above and restart the pc, I got this job...

    Note: I deal with almost all the avalible from different readers that my clients use them all.

  • FixIt center operating system is not compatible Windows and update does not work due to 8007066

    I have an Asus Essentio with Windows 7 Professional. Although the computer was working ok, I installed the FIX It Professional [I bought it to install on my computer to girls] for the interview. Since then, I had several problems with slow MSN Mail and slow performance. I uninstalled the product and to restore the computer to the date of installation of the software. Here are some of the problems I have:

    When you try to run Microsoft difficulty It Center I get a message "the operating system is not compatible and must be XP or newer" which it obviously. I've used this program in the past without any problems and actually have a user account, but it still does not work.

    Trying to access Microsoft support told me that the software is not "enabled" even though it says it's under System properties, and the product number is not saved, even if it has been for more than 8 months.

    Whenever I click on the MSN butterfly, a security message wonder if Explorer is allowed to make changes to my computer. Not a big deal, but remember why nobody liked Vista and I would like to get rid of him.

    A Windows Update does not work due the 8007066f, who doesn't have a solution, but updated logo keeps interrupting my work.

    Thanks for any help.

    I suggest an Inplace upgrade to fix your computer.

    The upgrade in place is a tool to fix the system. Thanks to the special upgrade process, we will be able to repair the system. The upgrade in place will not affect the settings like photos, movies, documents, etc. that are saved on the computer. Although this operation will not remove or modify the files and installed programs, I suggest always that you back up important files before you do. In addition, you may need to reinstall the device drivers after this operation.

    The detailed steps are included as below:

    On-site upgrade
    ====================
    1 log on to the system first.
    2. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in the DVD drive of the computer.
    3. Click Start and select computer.
    4. find the "setup.exe" file in the DVD-ROM and double-click it.
     
    5. click on install now.

    6. When you are prompted to enter the product key, please click Next directly without entering any key. The installation wizard will prompt and ask if you confirm to install Windows 7 without the key and choose please confirm.

    7. When you get to the screen ' which type of installation you want', click upgrade to upgrade the Windows 7 system files.
     
    Note: When running the upgrade on the spot, the system will restart automatically (several times) to merge the files and programs, please leave the computer alone and does not configure it until the 'upgrade on the spot"finished. The system should start Windows 7, once it is upgraded. Once the computer is running "upgrade on the spot", you can go and leave the computer and it completes automatically.

    Let us know if that helps.
