  Hi John,.

  -You have all four partitions on a hard drive? Or you have several hard drive installed in the computer?

  -Since when are you facing this problem?

  -Don't you make changes before this problem started?

  This can happen if you have several hard drives on your computer and if you lose the connection to one of the hard drive.

  First of all I suggest you to check if you have several hard drives and check the connections.

  You can also go to disk management and check if the hard drive and partitions are recognized in disk management.  To access the management drives follow the steps below:

  1. Click Start.
  2. In the start menu search box type diskmgmt.msc and press ENTER.
  3. In disk management, check the reader connected to the computer and the partitions.

  Post back the result, after checking with the hard disk in disk management and by checking your computer for several hard disks.

  I hope this helps. Post back and let us know the status.

  Thank you and best regards,

• Missing hard drive in disk management

  I have a barracuda (seagate) 3 TB drive and I am tempting (and failing) to install on windows 7 as my secondary drive. I can see the drive in the bios in its 'physical' State - he shows up. However, as soon as windows load it is missing. It is missing in 'my computer' and 'disk management' and also on the "intel Rapid Storage Technology' program." The first program indicates the Bay has nothing in it!

  I checked my Sata driver with my PC manufacturer (acer). I know that the Sata drive is working as I used it recently and I can also hear the disc turn at the beginning. Anyone can shed light as to how to get the drive working?  Any other details you may need please message and ill do my best to try to answer. Thanks in advance

  The hard drive has been returned because of the incompatibility. New 2 TB drive worked instantly without problems. The drive was defective on delivery or incompatible for some reason!

• Serious virus attack. Missing hard drive. Can I get it back?

  I noticed some typical signs of malware then ran an antivirus software, it detected a few threats and then the computer started to slow down and gel in the end once the scan is completed. I restarted the computer and it crashed again at startup, then starts again but this time I noticed it running some sort of command of the kernel. My hard drive is now impossible. I can still boot into bootcamp (which is located on a separate hard drive), but I do not see my hard drive in Mac OS. I can't find any other information on this. Is it possible to recover my data from Mac? I'd appreciate any help.

• MacBook Air missing hard drive space

  I noticed that the free space on the hard drive on my Macbook Air has been quickly disappear even if I had not been adding lots of new files, certainly not enough to account for the 10s of gigabytes that disappeared last week. I cleaned it of useless media files, which gives him another 20 GB of space. The status bar it reflects accurately at first, but when I started the computer this morning, it had lost 30 GB of this adjustment.

  After you run WhatSize DaisyDisk, I see that they have both claim that my Air uses Go 296, which is in agreement with the about this Mac, but when you look at the size of the actual folders, there is no way that they measure is added to this amount.

  Using Get Info, I got the following:

  14.43 applications gb

  Users 42,45

  System of 7.77

  Library of 8.95

  That all adds up to about 74 GB of used space. WhatSize actually gives me different numbers. Where in the world are the other 220 or so lack of gbs? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  (Note: although I typed this out, I noticed that about 8 GB of free space have disappeared in the status bar)

  Here are a few screenshots of WhatSize and disk utility. Of THE claims that 'other' includes 283 GB, but I can't understand what is included in whatever measure it as 'other '.

• pilot missing hard drive

  Hi, I use ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my HP COMPAQ CQ 42-451TU notebook.now I want to remove ubuntu and install windows 7 during installation, I do not see any hard drive to install windows, instead he ask me to load HARD drive driver.i pressed a button load driver but search ends in no result.can help you find the right driver? HARD drive is Hitachi HTS54503.

  Turn on your notebook and enter the BIOS. The hard drive is visible in the BIOS? If it is then life is good. Installation of Ubuntu linux to the hard drive of the laptop all has changed the format of partition of the hard drive that is not recognized by the BIOS of the laptop. You can fix that with a standalone utility, as described in the next paragraph...

  The easiest way would be to use HiRens Boot CD on USB.  Boot on the USB flash drive and and use the GParted utility that is available. GParted to delete partitions on the hard disk. Now that the hard disk is raw and has no partitions or volumes, Windows installation on the hard drive should be simple enough.

• Missing HARD drive when I try to install WinXP on Satellite L40

  I have a problem when I setup Windows XP. Its a message appear that there is no HARD drive devices.

  I am using Vista now.

  Waiting for your advice.
  Thank you

  Ceco85 is right. You must install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager before you continue the installation of XP.
  The iMSM can be downloaded from the Toshiba page or from the Intel page.
  Then you will need an external USB FDD to include this driver.

  If you n t the external USB FDD drive, I recommend the creation of a new XP CD with SATA drivers using the 3rd party freeware software called nLite!
  Google for nLite details ;)

  I hope I can clarify this issue. Best regards

• Difficulty to install Windows XP because of the missing HARD drive driver

  Hello

  I recently bought a P200-1 and I try to install Windows XP instead of Vista.
  I bought Windows XP Home Edition. Installation was first arrested for lack of HARD disk drive.
  Classic message: «Setup didn't find any hard drives installed in your computer»
  I downloaded Toshiba support "Intel Matrix Storage Manager" (pilot: ICH8M_32bits).

  The contents of this directory was extracted to the root of a disk.
  I restart my PC with XP CD-Rom and floppy drive connected. Setup download SATA AHCI floppy driver (press F6, and then later S key).
  The installer can read disks and partitions and offers the choice of a partition for the installation of XP system.

  After you have selected a partition, the installation begins and the installation program asks to insert "Intel Matrix Storage Manager" in drive A.
  Here's the problem: floppy drive not responding, disk is not read and XP installation stops.
  Ask for a second time to insert the floppy is suspect because he thought the driver drive HARD has already been read successfully.

  What can I do now?

  Thank you for your help

  JR

  Hello

  The problem might be that you have formatted the HARD drive (partition) or created a new partition after the installation of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
  In this case the formatting removes the driver from the HARD drive.

  Another possibility is the use of software called nLite. This software allows to include the SATA driver in the XP installation CD.

  Simply search for nLite and you will get lots of useful details.

  Greetings and good luck

• 12 GB of missing hard drive?

  Hello, I have a t61, which has 160 GB hard drive. I installed windows xp from the CD recovery and after installation, the capacity of the hard drive fell to 143 GB... I know there is a place where recovery is stored on the hard drive... but why it takes 17 GB of space? I checked the recovery partition in disk management and taking 5 GB of space... then where the hell is my remaining 12 gbs of space?

  Do not forget that drive manufacturers measure the capacity of the disk in powers of 1000, but Windows uses the powers of 1024 i.e. Windows will always appear to show less space that the makers say.

  For an explanation look detailed here:

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive#Capacity_measurements

  Or use the basic rule of wikipedia:

  «A rule to convert quickly the capacity of the drive by the manufacturer to the ability of Microsoft Windows in standard format is 0.93 * less than a terabyte hard drives manufacturer HARD drive capacity and 0.91 * capacity of HDD from manufacturer for HDDs equal to or greater than 1 terabyte.»

• Missing hard drive space

  Good afternoon... It seems that whenever I surf the web, watch a video on Youtube, etc., my temporary internet file is stored on my hard drive. I decided this because I run a security scan every time I find myself with the files of nearly 2 million software security scanning and I have about 200 GB of space unposted. the path of the file that I see through this security analysis is C\users\my name\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\tempintfiles. Needless to say that my disk space disappears quickly. I try to access this folder so I can delete this massive file (probably my historical overview of navigation over the past 4 years), but I get a message "access denied." Any suggestions on how I can do this? Thank you very much!!!

  P.S. I am running Windows Vista 32-bit with SP2.

  200 GB of disk space for temporary Internet files looks all right. Mine is about 250GB. This is on the scale of a system with abundant disk space. It is used not only for the history of navigation, but also for the caching of web pages in order to reduce the loading time on repeat visits.

  There are parameters that affect the used disk space. The location of the settings depends on the browser used.

  For Internet Explorer:

  "Pinion" on the upper right corner of the top bar

  • Internet Options
  • Surfing Hishory...
  • Disk space to use...
  • Days for which these pages are kept.

  Try to set both at the lower end of the recommended vauues and check the results on the reactivity of the browser when you visit the sites and the general system performance.

• How can I recover files from a dead hard drive?

  My MacBook (OS 10.6.8) dies suddenly. It has the power, but by pressing the power button it gets only the intitial light gray screen, not even for the black Apple logo.

  I have an external hard drive that has everything saved except emails in my Entourage program (Office for Mac 2008). There is a data recovery program that I could buy for a missing hard drive?  Or an authorized repairer of Apple would be able to recover the data?  Thank you!
