MacBook Pro 2010 does not recognize the (formatted) SSD

Hello

I saw a lot of topics on it and did some background reading. But in short, a 13 "middle MBP 2010 is simply show folder-question mark icon when starting after having inserted a 850 EVO Samsung newly formatted (option + cmd + r to try to start internet recovery mode and do a clean install of holding).

I tried to solve problems using other my Macbook Pro (a model 15 mid-2010 ")-Exchange the SSD back between the two machines, and I get different behavior which is what is so confusing.

The steps I have taken to date include:

-Insert the (unformatted) SSD in 13 "MBP. Hold down cmd + option + r download icon question mark.

-Insert the (unformatted) SSD in MBP 15 ". Hold down cmd + option + r. get starts in the recovery of the internet where I could format the drive!

-Replace the (newly formatted) SSD in 13 ". Hold down cmd + option + r. Yet once the icon question mark.

To make sure that I was not screw up internals I put the old hard drive back in 13 "and he started very well. It's a relief at least.

So I'm at this stage. Someone please correct me if my reasoning is wrong...

-He's not the SSD because my model 15 "it recognizes and plays well.

-It has No internal features of the computer, because it always starts on the old HD when I reinserted it.

-He could be the SATA cable. (I tried to change place than my 15 "model, but the orientation is different and I didn't take the risk of rupture of the cable).

-It could be a PEBKAC

In the meantime I'll install a clean version on the operating system on the new drive while it is in the MBP 15 "work. Then, I'll try once more. But I don't hold any hope as the 13 "MBP doesn't recognize the SSD when would be the model 15".

This is the model 13 '

Thisis the model 15 "

Any help at all is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You probably replace the SATA cable in the MBP 13 ".  This phenomenon has been reported several times on these forums.  An SSD will start the MBP externally but not internally, and the original HARD drive will start the MBP even internally.  A new SATA cable solved the problem.

I do not offer a 100% guarantee, but I suspect that the chances are good.

Ciao.

  • New installation of XP PRO sp3 does not recognize the 500 GB HD

    OK, here are the details:

    System: Computer PORTABLE of Acer Aspire 1700 Pent4, 2 GB of RAM, 80GB (3.5 "full-size, trainee) IDE HD [this is the original HD on this laptop of size important which is designed to use disks 3.5" hard].

    Initial situation: Windows XP Pro (SP3 integrated) installed on HDD of 80 GB and works without poblems. BIOS does NOT show the ability of the intern HD in the BIOS screen. BIOS reports only the model and the serial number of the HD, and there is no options to specify the HD type/format (e.g., MLA, etc.)

    Available: Win XP Pro bootable CD slipstreamed with SP3; It is tested and verified work well to install PC or laptop!

    When running XP Pro on a partition internal 80 GB HD, and when I join a brand new WD 500 GB IDE HD via USB, HD is recognized correctly. I can partition and copy data on the HD 500 GB with no problems!

    When I replaced the old 80 GB HD with the new HD 500 GB HD interning on the laptop, I have the following problems:

    1. I can NOT boot into Windows XP Pro (SP3) which was Ghost on the HD 500 GB of the old 80 GB portable HD it recharges, and if I try the console recovery or secure boot, then the laptop restarts also.
    1B. I have Ghost xp partition to 80 GB HD to a piece of spare HD (40 GB) and replaced the 80 GB with the 40 GB HD and was able to start the laptop without problem. So the problem is NOT related ghost!

    2. I can't perform a clean install of Windows XP Pro (SP3 integrated) because Windows XP Setup recognizes the HD 500 GB GB 131 HD. Therefore, the remaining capacity is not recognized.

    3. I can NOT perform the installation of Windows XP pro (SP3 integrated), even if I have previously partition new HD 500 GB by attaching it to a free desktop PC and use Partition Magic, partitioner of Paragon Disk or other partitioning tools. After partitioning prior, when the 500 GB HD is installed on the laptop (as a trainee HD), then win xp installation lists quality HD of GB 131 and lists the existing partitions as corrupt!

    4. Curiously, if I use Knoppix, Debian, Ubuntu or linux boot CD Mint and start the laptop computer with one of these linux distributions, then the linux installer recognize the HD properly during the phase of recognition of material and later during the phase partitioning HD, the linux system to report a full capacity of 500 GB available for partitioning. In addition, when there are partitions, partitioning linux program then lists these partitions properly as well!

    Considering the 4 points and especially MS Windows XP PRO (integrated with SP3, which should recognize HD with sizes exceeding 137 GB limit - from MS says you must be at least XP SP1 to overcome the size 137 GB limit - and that the different distributions of linux can see the full-size HD 500 GB with no problems) which is exactly the problem with Win XP? Why it does not recognize the full capacity? And how to win xp recognizes a 500 GB capacity, if the new HD is attached to the laptop via USB as an external drive when running XP PRO (SP3) of the 80 GB internal HD?

    so... Can anyone sheds light on the issue with Win XP Pro installation on HD 500 GB IDE?

    Nicely,

    LO

    Hi Palcouk and Doc,

    I think that's the final answer!

    Although, there is a mixture of simple to complex responses to the problem at hand, what it all comes down is that there is a significant difference between the installation of Windows XP and Linux installer program. The XP installation program needs help from the BIOS to deal with HD, and if the BIOS does not support, XP not has no facility to remedy the situation. OTOH, most of Linux new kernels rely on the BIOS for a limited number of extended, but communicate directly with the hardware, in this case, with the HD and therefore manages the material accordingly.

    It seems among users of dual-booting (win/linux) using old PCs, it is a matter of very pretty. What they end up doing is using the first 137 GB that is seen by the BIOS without problem for XP (either as a single partition or divided into several partitions), and the rest of the space is used for Linux because linux has no problem.

    I guess that it really nails the problem with my laptop to a BIOS NON-lba-48-bit!

    Then close this thread as answered or matter who has more to say about this?

    P.S.: It was very nice meeting you fellows and appreciate all the help and tech expertise.

  • Satellite Pro 6100 does not recognize the single battery external power

    Whenever I have start Satellite Pro 6100 Win XP Pro with standard battery mounted and connected to the power supply computer laptop does not recognize the ext battery supply single supply and during 'start-up' goes into hibernation.

    By pressing the power on button laptops "wake up" and indicate that the battery is empty or may not even decide when completely loaded, then says connect the station even if still connected, looking under Toshiba console when it runs shows running on battery when still in the power of the ext?

    I have two batteries and both give the above symptoms even when I remove ext of laptop power always runs with power supply by battery but no light orange or green for battery.
    Any ideas?
    Concerning
    Phil

    Hello

    Is your AC adapter malfunctions or there is something wrong with the power supply to electronic s laptop.
    In the first case you could purchase a new compatible AC adapter and could check if the laptop can run successfully.
    The second possibility is a serious hardware problem, but in this case, the laptop must be checked by an authorized technician.

  • Satellite M50-A-110 does not recognize the new SSD?

    Hello

    I bought the M50-A-110 model and tried to replace the HARD drive by a Pro 840 Samsung SSD. The laptop does not recognize the SSD drive, so I sent him to the local Toshiba service for inspection.

    They discovered that the laptop does not recognize ALL of the latest SSD (they tried to Samsun, Intel, Crucial, Kingston and SSD Seagate). They checked, and I possible newer BIOS, so this isn't a problem, and the SSD worked fine on other computers.

    Someone knows how to solve this mess?
    Toshiba has a BIOS beta I could try?
    Any other ideas would be welcome.

    As a user of long date Toshiba, I must say that I am a little disappointed. I mean I work in it, and this is the first time that something like this happened to me with a new product.

    Hello

    I can't believe that Satellite M50 - A can not handle any of the mentioned SSDS.

    I upgraded my Toshiba laptop with SSD Pro 840. But before I did, the update of the firmware of SSD was necessary. Before the firmware update, the SSD has failed, after the firmware update, BIOS can handle the SSD.

    I would recommend to check the SSD for the firmware update!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 does not recognize the 2nd paper tray

    I've set up the 2nd tray in system preferences by checking the box for an additional tray, although it seems sometimes to uncheck because when I go back to it is checked, it is not. Somewhere I found the Source setting and I saw 2 trays, but now I don't remember where it was to check again. However, when I try to use the parameters to define a default tray and lock in the status bar on the printer itself, it simply does not list the second set as being there. So there is nothing to choose or define. At one point, even though I didn't click to print, it seemed as if he was going to print something but then says there is more paper in the tray. But there was.

    I am on an iMac 10.8.5 OS and just bought this printer. I connected with ethernet.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8100 does not recognize the new router

    I saw this question for other printers, so I hope that there is a response to mine.  I just upgraded the speed of my internet service which involved a new router.  We made sure all the computers in the House worked with her, but I forgot to try the printer before the technician left.  Now my computer thinks printer Officejet Pro 8100 is offline (turned off) and the blue light on the printer blinks.  How can I get the printer to recognize the new router?  I guess I have to add that I do not know where to find the code of the intellectual property that is asked for when I go to the start menu, the HP folder, select my printer, etc.  He said: push the button on my printer wireless, so I push button blue flashing light but that does not produce a number.  Help appreciated!    It's an ATT router and I have the WiFi network name and wireless password.

  • Satellite Pro A60 does not recognize the accept/DVDs blank

    My computer will not accept blank CD - R disc so I can burn data on them, but my computer will not accept blank DVD discs that I want to be able to use to store more data.

    In the drive of my computer D reads "DVD - RW", I guess so, but am not sure that this means that my pc should be usable with DVD-R and DVD - RW discs but it do not accepts / acknowledges these when I put a try to burn something on them.

    My computer also does not accept / recognize DVD + R Virgin discs as I have tried those, just in case they might work.

    Help please!

    Hello

    Have you also tried to burn DVD-R discs?
    I had also some problems with DVD + R discs, so I changed to a DVD-R and since all works well! :)

    I don't use Windows Media Player to burn discs, I use CD Burner XP. It is a freeware tool, very small and fast. It works on most versions of Windows, and you should try it too!

    Also check the Toshiba page for an update of the firmware!

  • MacBook Pro 2007 Does not show the headset as an output option

    Hi all, I have recently restored a MacBook Pro 2007 for my college work and it works well... Except for one thing. The wearing of the helmet.

    I wish I could use my headphone port that I will do a Final Cut Pro here job and likely to spend much time in the classroom when playing audio through the built-in speakers will be disruptive.

    I've already replaced the left i/o board with a working version (as the previous owner had neglected it and broke a record in there.) Villain...

    If you're wondering, the computer is currently running El Capitan and it seems it well, apart from the question with the headphone jack. I searched in Google for this issue, and most of them seem to be much easier to solve because their use of the helmet IS shown in system preferences, while mine is not. A little weird issues really, especially as the line works perfectly fine! Just not the headphone port...

    If anyone can spare a moment to help me with this issue, I would greatly appreciate your help. I love my MBP. So, I want it to work as it should.

    Thank you very much

    Problem solved! A problem with the IO card. I've fixed since the question and making works normally.

  • Satellite Pro A10 does not recognize the drive WEIRD AD - 7540A model

    Hi all.

    I just bought a new model slimline DVD rewritable AD - 7540A, brand Sony NEC Optiarc. When it is plugged into the computer laptop and for the POST, it appears the 'IDE #1 error' message after the operating system starts, I am unable to open the drawer and no CD/DVD can be read.

    I checked this drive on another laptop from another brand, and it works fine, so the problem is not in the drive itself. Could someone help me?

    Thanks in advance.

    The problem is simple.
    Your phone does support not all readers of CD/DVD slimline because different or bad master/slave/c-salt settings.

    The IDE #1 error message indicates that the BIOS cannot recognize the device connected to the #1 IDE controller.

    In your case, the solution is simple; you need to buy a compatible CD/DVD player and supported

    Mayen a user manual would provide details on the management of records.
    If not, then contact the ASP in your country and ask some compatible devices!
