• Second Hard Drive not recognized / climb (but it IS listed in the Device Manager)

  I have a HP Compaq DC7800 convertible mini tower running than Win 7 Pro 64-bit

  I installed a second hard drive, and while I can see listed in the Device Manager, it is not mounted.

  That is to say, it is not in the computer > field at all.

  The second hard drive is a Hitachi HDT721032SLA360 ATA Device

  Under the hardware ID, it is said: IDE\DiskHitachi_HDT721032SLA360___ST2OA38E

  I thought it was a driver problem. Device Manager indicates that it uses the Microsoft 6.1.7600.16385 driver.

  I can't find a Hitachi driver for this player. My understanding was that this drive would NOT need drivers.

  I have it in the plug of P5 (I think it is P5, it's at the end of the cable with the primary hard drive) and I have a data cable sata from the sata port on the rear of the disc in the slot sata on the motherboard next to the slot in the place where the main in drive is plugged.

  The only sites that list the drivers for this drive are all spam (thanks, google) sites.

  What I have to change something in my Bios?

  Thanks in advance.

  If the drive is listed in the device but not 'computer' Manager, it must be mounted or a new volume must be created. Please see HP - partitioning and names of hard drives (Windows 7) for more information on using the Windows Disk Management Console.

  Any help will be much appreciated

  Hi EMH.

  You will need to install the Chipset Drivers first and later network adapter drivers. The IP address that you have ping is the local host and works, even when there is no network card detected.

  Please download and install the NIC in the network section and the section Chipset Chipset drivers from the following link, by drilling in the serial number:

• Realtek NIC does not show in the Device Manager - until a hardware scan is done

  A few months ago, I purchased a dv6 3240us and not downgraded to XP Pro win7 no problem, everything has been installed - everything I tried worked fine without any problem at all. I do not use this computer on the Internet - but I got the opportunity to connect the NETWORK card to a piece of equipment, I was working on that. When I went to change the IP address of the laptop - no local NIC (supposed to be Realtek) present in the Device Manager.  I installed the driver when I went down to XP without error.  I can only see the wireless adapter and it also shows on the system tray. When I right click on network adapters in Manager devices and do a scan for the hardware - the Realtek card is? and now everything works fine until I stop, then I have to go the process again. I watched the Realtek driver and he says its all working properly - any suggestions?

  Hello:

  I'm not familiar with the BIOS settings too consumer laptop, but see if there is a setting for a LAN Power Save Mode - maybe in the configuration menu of the device.

  On HP Business laptops, there is such a context, and the default value is enabled. What is this setting is to remove the wired NETWORK card at least that the PC is plugged in and connected to a LAN cable. This saves battery power.

  They also have a LAN/WLAN definition switch that disables the NETWORK adapter when the other is in use. For example, if I plug a wire to my Wired NETWORK card, my wireless NETWORK card is automatically disabled.

  If you have such a LAN Power Save setting, turn it off, and your NETWORK card must always be visible in Device Manager.

• built-in webcam not found in the Device Manager, Samsung r710 laptop, windows 7

  I have a laptop Samsung R710, who settled with Windows 7. The laptop came with a built-in webcam. I was not able to get a piece of software to recognize the camera. I did a system restore. Updated the drivers. Visited the Samsung website for updates. When I opened the Device Manager to see the drivers for the webcam, webcam not found in Device Manager.

  Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you, I must admit to thinking in the same direction you... buy a separate camera or wait until he is more under warranty and have a quick look at the wiring around the hinge.

• CD/dvd drive does not work - it is recognized when the computer starts, and it is listed in the Device Manager?

  I am running Vista Home Premium on a laptop Compaq Presario F700. It is listed in the list of computers of readers, it is listed in Device Manager. The lites drive that the computer boots so I know it is detected. When you run itunes or media player the player does not open. When I push the drive button it will not open. It opens with a paperclip in the exit hole. It cannot read a CD or a DVD. None of the media players even recognize there is a disc in the drive. I tried to run fixit, but it would not drive either. I tried restoring from a previous backup, without change.

  Hello

  Check / settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 so watch the screen as it starts - place CD/DVD
  1st in the boot order (remember to put it at the time where the fact).

  Then put in a DVD to boot Windows and see if the driver works.

  If it doesn't then it's a hardware problem.

  =======================================

  If the drive has worked in the test above, that these can help:

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and

  the parameters.

• My CD/DVD drive will not appear in the Device Manager, but present in the BIOS.

  DevCon didn't find it. It will not open even if I don't get to Device Manager and check for changes to the system. I deleted the registry entries upper and lower limit. Any other suggestions? For additional emphasis, he does not show even in the Manager of devices so I cannot restore or reinstall the drivers from there. It might also help that I use Vista Home Premium on a Compaq Presario F755us.

  Hello

  (1) does the BIOS see the main hard disk drive or a secondary hard drive?

  (2) remember to make changes to the computer before the show?

  You know may not be not that most systems are set to show only the splash screen. If you go into the BIOS Setup, it should show the disks that have been detected on two primary and secondary IDE channels.

  Note: the basic procedure to change the setting of the disk controller is to restart your computer and enter the system BIOS. The most common method is to press F2 to enter Setup, (another PC may use a different key). On the BIOS screen, find the setting that offers the AHCI, ATA or IDE and RAID. If the parameter is set to AHCI, change the setting to ATA. Restart the PC on the Windows installation disc

  Warning: Incorrect settings in the system BIOS can cause your PC function incorrectly. If you are not familiar with the configuration of the BIOS of the system, you must contact the PC manufacturer for assistance.
