• Re: Tecra 9100 - new HARD drive is not detected

  I have a Toshiba Harddisk provide a Tecra 9100. Checking the BIOS it shows "Enhanced IDE", but you are trying to boot from the disc does not work HARD. Even trying to install a new operating system present, that the HARD drive is not detected.
  From the laptop is also very long.
  Any idea?

  Your new HARD drive is larger than 120 GB? The HARD disk controller supports the 28-bit LBA and large drives as 120 GB will not be recognized by the BIOS.

  What you mean with Enhanced IDE? The BIOS recognizes the new HARD drive with model number?

• HARD drive is not detected in BIOS - need to recover data.

  What happened is that my laptolaptop takes a long time to start, so I slapped him. After that I kept getting the error message "no boot device, please restart". So whenever I restarted I kept getting this message. I also sometimes had "Media Fail" message. I pressed F2 at startup to get into the Bios. Settings so check I saw that hard disk still showed it's a Hitachi one.

  My hard drive was clicking to it so I searched online advice on what to do and I saw on the opening of the hard drive in a clean environment, ensuring that no dust went on the drive. I expect the head being stuck on disc, but it was not stuck. So basically, I put the lid on. Since then, the hard drive was not detected.

  Not in the Bios (he said no). I bought a CD to restart which can temporarily become Windows to the screen under Xp, so I can go to the computer to retrieve data from the hard drive. It shows nothing. There is always a clicking hard drive, more a ticking sound. It is always possible that an expert could remove the hard drive and recover my data that are valuable photos and videos.

  Thank you

  What model of laptop do you have?
  Try to set the BIOS to default settings and check if the HARD drive is recognized correctly.

• the internal HARD drive has been corrupted and I fails to make the back upward. need information.

  I've owned an HP Pavilion dm1-LQ862PA #UUF, used to be windows 7-64 bit. the internal hard drive has been corrupted and recommended to replace another. they were asking for the backup cd and I failed to do, and I do not regret it. Well, except to lose all my files and programs that I installed, it will also include bluetooth, wi - fi and other important built in programs? I'm not a computer expert. If ever these important programs had totally disappeared, how retrieve it? my laptop in an HP authorized service center will be probably expensive and I decided to buy a new HARD drive and ask someone to put it in and install a new OS. Please help thanks

  Hello:

  There is a support for your PC page where all the software drivers to run the hardware on your PC such as bluetooth and wireless can be reinstalled.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/WC/product?product=5079502 & CC = US & DLC = in & LC = on & query = LQ862PA & Tool=.

  What I don't see is the availability of recovery disks to reinstall the operating system (windows 7 64-bit) or your PC programs (other than those listed in the link of support above).

  This means that if you want to replace the hard drive, you must make your own W7 64-bit installation media and use the 7 product key of Microsoft windows on the bottom of your PC to activate the installation.

  That assumes you can read all 25 characters of the product key windows 7.

  Here's how...

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

  The replacement hard drive should be a 320 GB SATA II 5 400 rpm Disk If you want the same specification provided with your PC hard drive.

  Please refer to Chapter 4 of the service manual on the link below for the procedures for removal and replacement of the hard disk.

• Internal hard drive has all of a sudden the write Protection

  Hello

  My internal hard drive has suddenly developed the write protection and has resisted each of my attempts to change this. I found issues related to external hard drives, but have not met a subject that bears on the disk system hard to develop this problem.

  The last State of operational activities that are known:

  My main hard drive read/write functions were fine the day before. The only things I did today were the usual activities like browsing the web, watching videos, etc.. The only thing I did of note has been download a Steam game, which required the U-Play from Ubisoft. I installed the game and U-Play, so the game went very well. Then I played another game of steam which does not need U-Play, then attempts to transfer files on a USB key.

  Steps taken to solve the problem:

  When you try to transfer files, warning "the disk is write protected" appears. I thought that it odd, as I had never met this caveat on this PC before. I discovered that all the files in the C drive have been suddenly write protected. My attempts to solve this problem include:

  • Deactivation of 'Read only' file level and folder settings. The settings app doesn't seem to be a problem, but the moving folder gave the warning and she returned to "read only".
  • What allows all permissions for the users and system Admins for drive C properties > Security (I found it odd that users have all permissions, when I clearly remember all the usual permissions enabled previously)
  • Reboot/boot scan running for drive C to properties error checking > tools > error checking, which reported no error.
  • Opened as administrator command prompt and entering 'diskpart', 'list volume', "select volume #', disk clear readonly attribute, readonly attributes volume clear." The clear drive has reported a failure, while the clear volume reported a success.

  None of these steps have managed to solve the question of write protection. Might this problem be possibly related to the downloaded game, or the program U-Play from Ubisoft? Is there something that I missed? What can I do else? I have documents and files that have not been backed up, but I don't want to lose.

  Thank you for reading, any help would be appreciated!

  I'm really sorry for your time. The culprit is revealed to be the key USB is write-protected, not the drive internal (phew!). I guess I panicked a bit and don't think to test with another stick of memory, which transferred files very well. Problem solved, I'll just reformat the wobbly flash drive.

  Thank you for sticking with it, even when I probably don't have too much sense, you have been very helpful and patient.

• Internal hard disk is not detected.

  I use two internal hard drives.

  At the same time is 250 GB hard drive.

  One is to WD and other is Seagate.

  WD hard drive is the port sata0 and SEAGATE HDD on sata1 my motherboard port.

  SEAGATE SATA POWER IS CONVERTED TO A PATA TO SATA CONVERTER.

  The WD hard drive has windows... and hard drive SEAGATE has my personal files.

  The SEAGATE hard drive has problems now.

  Sometimes it is detected, sometimes not.

  It does not appear in MY COMPUTER in windows Explorer.

  Sometimes it appears upwards for a few seconds after starting... but then disappears.

  Please HELP me about the same ASAP.

  I'm sorry for the late reply,

  I think that my problem is now solved.

  I think that my HDD SEAGATE wasn't getting good power to operate.

  Both my hdd has 100% health.

  SEAGATE is used only for 8 months and WD is used only a few days.

  Their SMART feature also works perfectly.

  In fact my WD hard drive sharing his power with a fan in my office, but my hard drive SEAGATE shared power

  Thanks to the DVD - RW DRIVE.

  Maybe is was the problem, so I removed the DVD PLAYER connections - RW, it is not operational now.

  I also don't use my DVD PLAYER too.

  But because of that my hdd SEAGATE now works perfectly well from these 2-3 days.

  so, I think, my problem is now solved.

  THANK you all for your help and efforts.

  A question, what do you mean by 'transfer', only transfer the data files and folders, or by using Dell backup and recovery or what?

  Install the same WDC 1 TB, 2.5 ", 5400 RPM, 9.5 mm height, drive hard internal would be nice, or you could also install hard drive from a different manufacturer.

• P30: External hard drive is not detected when you use IEEE 1394 cable

  My P30 not / can not detect my newly acquired Western informed extreme Digitak Drive 320 when I connect via the firewire port. I use a 4-pin cable (which costs a fortune, by the way) who is supposed to be a way to connect this drive to a 6-pin pc.

  My ieee 1394 driver seems to be called 'VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 host controller".

  Can someone tell me what to do? I really need to connect the FireWire drive because I need the USBs for other devices.

  Thank you!

  Hi, Lars

  It is really strange. I use the external DVD drive (DL) using the same cable. I tested it with several units (old Satellite 1900, Tecra M1 and also new Qosmio G20) and everything works perfectly.

  Check the power supply to the external HARD drive.

• Satellite S1800-100 HARD drive is not detected

  Hello

  I just got an old laptop, the guy who gave me think it had been deleted and the boot sector had to reformat and reload.

  However, I booted up in windows 2 k consisting of disc to see that there is no HARD drive detected.
  Then I went into the BIOS to see if it was detected he find that it is not.

  I just want to check that I have reason to think that the HARD drive is actually dead?

  Hello

  It is possible that the HARD drive is faulty, but there may also be placed on the motherboard defective HARD disk controller. If possible, try to get another HARD drive and you will see if the new HARD drive is recognized correctly.

• Qosmio G20 - new HARD drive is not detected

  Hello.

  While the installation of new disks in the RAID configured laptop; one of the active disks, the second - has failed.
  Switch the mode RAID array does not. What could be the problem?

  2 X HARD DRIVE 160 GB

  The problem may be the information of RAID, and it is obviously absent on the second HARD drive. I'm not an expert on such things, but if possible I recommend you back up all your important data from the first HARD drive and install the OS by using supplied recovery media.

  After having done that, you should be able to use two hard drives with no problems.

• Seagate GoFlex Desk USB 3.0 External Hard Drive is not detected at startup, when you use USB 3.0

  Hey there, I was wondering if someone can help with this. Basically, my works fine external HDD so I boot to windows and then plug it into a USB 3.0, but if I leave it plugged in as I would like and reboot or shutdown and return to the reader don't launch and Windows does not detect it correctly.

  I am on Windows 7 64 bit, have an i5 - 3570 k and a sabertooth z77 mobo. USB drivers are updated, the intel one controller as the asmedia one, the bios is up-to-date, near as I can tell everything is up-to-date, but this hard just don't have it. It doesn't matter what USB 3.0 port it is plugged into you just cannot get starter. You can feed the cycle only and that will do the trick, but I don't want to do every day. If plug you it into a USB 2.0 port, so that it works exactly as it should here is my solution.

  Now, I tried to contact Seagate and they suggested that I update my drivers, even if I told them that I had updated my drivers, which was great. Clearly, they have nothing useful to say. Anyone got any ideas?

  Hello

  Thank you for the update.

  This can give it a try and check.
