Logical disk management does not recognize a slave drive

I installed an internal HD as a slave. The BIOS sees the drive, Western Digital Lifeguard sees the drive (it checks OK) with the appropriate drive letter, PMagic sees the drive before starting, but the logical disk manager does not recognize the drive or the drive letter.

Using Windows XP, SP3 with latest updates

Hello

  1. The hard drive is recognized in another computer?

If this isn't the case, then the problem could be the hard drive itself. If he is found, then the problem is in your computer. In this case, run the diskpart.exe utility.

Use the list partition command and see if the partition is detected. If so, then I suggest you to format the drive in diskpart.

However, take a return of all data on the hard drive before the format by plugging it into another computer. Help with backup data, see

Backup: what, how, where

http://www.Microsoft.com/protect/data/backup/about.aspx

To use the Diskpart.exe utility, follow these steps:

1. type diskpartand press ENTER to open the diskpart tool.

2. type list diskand press ENTER. A list of available hard disks.

3. type select disk =[n]

n s Specifies the number of disc the disc to receive the focus.

4. type list partition

This command displays the partitions listed in the table to partition on the current drive.
5. type select partition =[d]

This command selects the specified partition and gives it the focus.

 d s Specifies the drive letter or mount point path of the partition to receive the focus.

6. type format drive: / FS: NTFS/Quick

For more information about commands, see

A Description of the Diskpart command-line utility

Now you should be able to see the slave drive in Solution Explorer.

  • Recovery Manager does not recognize a flash drive

    Well, this is my second attempt to create recovery media, initially I thought the drive was defective and returned. I would go to 8.1 but would create recovery first. Recovery creator does not recognize the cross (SanDick Cruzer 16 GB) flash drive the forums and google around and have not really found a solution. Help please?

    Hello! Looks like you have a couple of choices for me. Use a PNY flash. Create an image of your operating system with a third-party App or get some DVD high quality. I agree that the drive is useless for the recovery of the system. I've seen your problem before on other forums and other products. I do not have the answer.

  • Recovery Manager HP does not recognize my flash drive!

    My computer is HP Pavilion p6 desktop computer - 2317c, running windows 8.

    I am trying to create a recovery media and have a 32 facet of Cruzer Sandisk of Go that I intended to use for this. Unfortunately, Recovery manager does not recognize the flash drive... it never appears in the menu at all. The drive appears when I click on the computer icon in the section files, with no problems at all, as you can see.

    I have not created a game of recovery media, and it shows not enough space error, he just lets it appear at all!

    What can I do to fix this? I really want to do a recovery set, to prepare for a visit to the demon responsible for foulups visit.

    Hi Savvy2,

    SanDisk has changed the firmware in their most recent products so that the USB appears as a local drive and not as a removal media device. Keys older HP Recovery Manager on this information, and that's why the HP Recovery Manager is not recognized your USB key.  Review of the information that has been compiled by Erico below.

  • Managing disks in Windows 7 does not recognize external hard drive

    It is a recent event. I backed up my computer only 45 days ago and it worked Ok. The same external drive has no problems with your Windows XP desktop.

    No other USB devices is facing this problem.

    Device Manager identifies the mass storage device (WD1140), as well as the USB controller.

    This utility cannot sort.
    It is not possible to change/assignment of a new letter to the reader as disk management does not identify her. I also tried to use the command-line (list disk)... the only disc that displayed is internal.

    I tried to change the USB port, without result.
    The operating system is Windows 7 Starter.

  • BlackBerry 8830 smartphones & Desktop Manager does not recognize Outlook Express 2000, cannot sync

    I just installed Desktop Manager 5.0 and connected to my BB 8830.  I use Outlook Express 2000 for the calendar and I want to sync it with my BB 8330.  However, in Desktop Manager under Sync / Config / select the device for the calendar, the only choices are Yahoo and text import/export.  Of course, it does not recognize Outlook Express 2000 as a calendar program.  Does anyone have a solution?

    I bought this 8830 mainly to sync its calendar with my Outlook Express calendar.  If this does not work, then I'll go back to my cell phone operator.

    I installed Desktop Manager 4.1 and it works now.  Be aware with this version, once you connect your BB to your computer, unless you go through the Wizard Windows Found New Hardware, Desktop Manager does not recognize the connection with your BB and your computer (I don't have to do with version 5.0).

    RIM should be more attentive to people with a recent phone, but still using an earlier version of Microsoft Outlook / office.

  • Windows 7 Starter Edition does not recognize a hard drive WD

    Windows 7 Starter Edition does not recognize a hard drive WD, I used until last month. Device Manager sees it, he sees the USB controller (it lists as a mass storage device), but I can't access the information on the hard disk, or make use of the last backup. I tried to uninstall USB drives - it is not the thing. It gets listed under disk drives.

    Thanks for the reply.

    There was no error message: the device has been recognized (listed) by the USB controller and the Device Manager, but not by the management of the disks - so I couldn't access.

    I managed to fix the problem after:

    -J' scanned the computer (DELL Inspiron) with the Safety Scanner
    -J' completely uninstalled all the software associated with an external hard drive
    -J' uninstalled the USB controllers
    -reboot the system
    -reconnected the external HD
    -After gaining access to the drive, I installed the dedicated software

    My Office does not illuminate. I replaced the power supply. No, it powers on but does not recognize the hard drive. It gives an error as SATA 0 None SATA 1 no SATA 2 No. How do we know that the cables are properly connected. I feel like I'm very close to solving the problem but don't have a clue what that next step to follow

    The original PSU had 4 sets of cables and connectors.  The new power supply has 5 sets of son.

    From your post, I guess that the configuration of the system now recognizes the hard drive?

    If you do not have a floppy drive, then BIOS can find the player who isn't there, it returns this error.

    Make sure that the floppy drive [drive A] is disabled in the [BIOS] installation system, page 173, so that it is no longer looking for the disc and see if this stops the error message.

    If the hard drive is recognized in the configuration of the system, he now knows in windows "My computer" or in "disk management, [right click on 'My computer' and select 'Manage', then disk management]."

    Maybe you did not use good SATA driver?  :| Who knows
    The point is that there are two different versions of Intel Matrix Storage Manager supports different chipsets.
    I put t know what chipset is in charge of your laptop but you should check this and must also check the description of the Intel Storage Manager and check what chipsets are supported.

    However, during the execution of the installer, my laptop does not recognize the hard drive. Therefore, the installation cannot continue.

    The fact is that your notebook has a SATA controller and you need a SATA (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) driver.
