• Satellite A210-19Z - BIOS does not find my HARD disk

  My HARD drive crashed so I bought a new and now my BIOS can not find it, and when I try to install XP, it says that it cannot find any hard disk.
  What should do? The new HARD drive is a Samsung SATA 2.5 "artno:HM121HI...

  Please help me... I'm going crazy...

  Thank you!

  Hello

  The BIOS should recognize the new HARD disc without any installed SATA drivers!
  The SATA drivers are needed only for Windows OS!

  Please check the position of the jumper on the HARD drive. Usually, these riders are avaialbel for 3.5 HARD disk but some 2.5 drives hard also supports a rider where the master/slave/c-salt settings could be changed

• Dell Vostro 430 sometimes breaks down and does not find the hard drive in the bios

  So I have this old - ish Dell Vostro 430, intel cpu, windows 7 hard disk sata 250 GB, 4 GB of ram.

  Update BIOS to the latest version 2.4.0

  In certain exceptional circumstances, this PC sometimes crashes in windows, it is restarted, and then when he comes back it does not find the hard drive as a gift. He is not seen in the bios and does not start.

  To fix, I have to unplug the power cable, wait a few seconds, plug in, reboot the computer and it starts normally, load windows and everything.

  So far, I have tried to paginate on another hard disk, reinstall the Windows operating system from scratch, and same thing happens from time to time.

  It is difficult to find the cause of the problem, because this happens very rarely.

  Sometimes, when the pc is turned on for the first time in the morning, the hard drive is not found by the bios and we reappear at the same trick (disconnect the power cable) to take him back.

  When it crashes when using inside Windows, it seems that the reason is the computer can't find the hard drive.

  Such computer is out of warranty.

  It would be nice to just throw this computer because it is still fine for the work it has to do, + I have Windows and Office OEM license on it, as well as many other software that I have to reinstall etc.etc.

  No idea what I could troubleshoot?

  Maybe change the motherboard? How can I buy a new motherboard for an out of warranty Dell?

  While possibly keeping all the OEM licenses (Windows 7 and Office 2007).

  That will make hard to resolve this situation.

  • Have you tried to replace the battery in the motherboard, if nothing else than to exclude it? CR2032, 3-volt lithium-ion, ~ $2 at discount stores. Do not forget to open the BIOS Setup and copy down all current settings first because remove battery BIOS resets the default values, which is maybe not correct for your specific system.
  • Have you tried another SATA data cable, or reinstall the existing at both ends?
  • Have you reinstall RAM and PCI card in their slots?
  • Have you used canned air to blow out the dust?
  • Maybe a power supply problem... ? If insufficient voltage, he could not start the HARD drive quite fast at startup, or quick enough after your option settings to be able to turn the HARD drive off when it is not accessed, what may cause this error message 'not found '.
  • If you use a power strip or surge protector, have you deleted and the PC connected directly to a wall jack?

  If it is a motherboard defective and you replace it with another jury of Vostro 430, you shouldn't have any problems with Windows or Office licenses. Assuming you are using Windows Dell reinstall for exact same version of Windows drive that was installed at the factory, it should not even ask the product key, if you must reinstall Windows on the HARD drive. But even if she asks, there should be a sticker somewhere on the PC with your unique product key so you can enter if the installer made the request.

  and make sure you have the Office product key too...

  Airport utility in windows 10 does not detect the hard disk, how to?, the Office detect wireless internet no hard drive.

  What hard drive? It of a time capsule, or is it a drive connected to an airport extreme?

  What model number is the most convenient airport?

• Install XP: Setup did not find any hard disk installed

  I have this old computer. When I try to install Windows Xp, it says that Setup did not find any hard disk. I have readers of diskette and cd on the computer. A source told me that I need a SATA RAID driver until I do.

  Windows XP
  AMIBIOS
  MSI

  Correct, you will need to download the appropriate TXTmode drivers and put them on a floppy disk. If you have a MSI motherboard in your system, you will get these drivers from MSI.

  It would be also possible to get Windows to load with a change in your BIOS settings, but I recommend that get you the correct drivers.

• Setup did not find any hard disk installed

  I'm trying to re-start Windows XP on a disk (file missing or corrupt ntoskrnl.exe). Whenever I press the 'R' to repair key I get this error message:

  Someone at - it ideas?

  Hello

  It is perhaps that the hard drive is not connected properly. Make a person qualified to check the connections of the hard drive to make sure they are solid, you need to maybe disconnect and reconnect both ends of the cable.

  I suggest you return the article mentioned below to learn how to fix ntoskrnl.exe.

• Cannot start Windows, Windows Setup does not detect the hard disk, Bootmgr is misiing

  I have a few problems on my laptop [Acer 3810 t]

  -The first problem
  My mobile give me screen "cannot start windows' who have 2 choices: run the Startup Repair tool and boot normally. I chose to fix it, but nothing happens and stuck "starting windows" and gives unmountable boot volume 'blue screen '. the Dungeon of blues screen appear (for laptop is a not restart). So I turned off my phone and turn it back on it. the "could not start" screen again and I chose to start normally. but the result is negative. My portable Dungeon cannot start windows. Because of that I am using the advanced boot option and choose all the boot type such asit cannot load the safemode, last configuration etc, but the result is the same, you cannot start windows. in safe mode, its stuck in loading fileinfo.sys. I do not give up to try again with the advanced boot option. until I have a bad situation. My laptop can only 1 file in safe mode and blues screen do not appear again (my laptop only return at the beginning of start or restart)

  -The second problem
  because it cant solved, I want to reinstall my laptop. My OS is Vista 32 bit (pre-installed). I want to install the new operating system, windows 7. I use Dsik Flash bootable USB to install Windows 7. But in the BIOS, it is detected as a USB HDD. So I set my BIOS to load USB HDD to the first order. the installation can be done, but only until the "start Setup" screen and its deadlock. I have it wait up to an hour, but nothing happens. So I'm going to BIOS, change SATA mode to IDE mode AHCI. Then load the USB and go "installation program start screen. but the new problem is the installation of window does not detect my hard drive. So I can not choose the place to install the operating system. I have to load the driver, but I did not. Again to load the configuration to AHCI and IDE, until I get my HDD can detected in IDE mode. So I think I can move easily, I choose custom installation and choose the hard drive to install the operating system. But unfortunately, at the beginning of the process, after choosing the OS, the Installer gives error if installation location the installation failed. (I forgot the error message)

  -The third problem
  So far, I can't spend 'startup begins' as well in mode IDE and AHCI. Also bootmgr in my hard disk is missing, so I can't go to move the startup repair or the startup option in my HDD as before

  What is the error code that you got with blue screen?

  I think that there is a problem with your drive HARD check that by contacting acer...

• does not detect external hard disk

  Hey guys

  Recently I update my macbook pro (2014) in the sierra of mac os. Since then, my mac does not detect any external hard drive I plug in it even if these drives are detected by the PC and all the files inside. I tried to open utility disk where the hard drive is displayed but the 'volume' located below is gray. When I try to hit mount said volume that nothing happens. All I could do to fix this?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hi sgerolio,

  I understand that you are unable to detect any external drive that you plug into your MacBook Pro, since you upgraded to macOS Sierra.  How many external hard drives work?  How they are formatted?   If formatted for PC, they would not necessarily be able to be read by a Mac.

  You have a small empty external drive or USB key that you can test?  Formatted in Mac OS extended (journaled).  Using the Finder, you are able to see the external drive and drag a file to it?

  The title of the article includes the Aperture application but apply these tips to format an external hard drive to any software application.

  Drives external format Mac OS extended before using with opening

  Take care.

• IX2 - dl does not support USB hard disk

  Hello!

  I use an ix2 - dl as a backup at home. I recently upgraded from 2 TB WD red 2 (WD20EFRX) for 2 hard drives 4 TB (ST4000VN000) of Hitachi (two configurations were / are RAID1), and the upgrade went through flawlessly. But there is a problem: in the old configuration, I used a third drive connected via USB as a backup in case of failure of the NAS itself offline. Since I doubled the storage in the RAID array, I wanted to double the external storage as well. I plugged the third 4 TB on my homeserver disk, formatted (NTFS) and plugged my NAS ix4 - 300 d and just of stood and was used as the 2 TB drive in my ix2 - dl. However, when I plugged in my ix2 - dl it just does not appear here. I activated the end looked in SSH and foundout, he got during a few seconds under/mnt/ext /. said lsusb shows the drive is still there and parted and parted lists the disc correctly. I re-formatted it ext3 and ext4 and in both cases the reader is not always mounted on the correct mounting points. I created/mnt/test and mounted the USB it there using mount-t ext3/dev/sdc1/mnt/test, which works; Now I can access the drive via ssh. However when I tried mount - bind/mnt/test / / mnt/pools/A/A0 /respectively, I can open this folder, but cannot access any file in this directory. In addition, this workd only workaround until the next reboot, thereafter, the unit can be mounted in all.

  Why this drive works perfectly on my ix4 - 300 d one isn't quite on my ix2 - dl? I'm at my wits end with this issue. any help would be appreciated.

  Hello Firestart3r,

  From my experience, most of the devices and firmwares don't mount not an external drive that is greater than 2 TB:
  https://Lenovo-na-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/34774/kW/external

  I understand that one device is to mount the drive while the other is not, but as a planned restriction, the only solution I can really offer is to partition the external hard drive to match the limitation.

  This will often allow to be mounted.

• Satellite M40 does not start from hard disk - read error

  "I push the button - briefly see the In Touch with tomorrow TOSHIBA screen - then ' + a disk read error occurred press Ctrl Alt Del to restart +".

  I control alt delete brings me briefly on the screen TOSHIBA where I can choose either F2 or F12.

  Do I need a startup disk and where can I get one in order to boot from the CD ROM?
  Do I try to get into the Satellite M40 product Recovery DVD-ROM - this concern for me as the hard drive will be reformatted and all data will be lost.

  I'm stuck please help!

  Hello!

  If you enter the product recovery disc, Windows will be relocated and will be erasing all data on the HARD drive.

  I think that your HARD drive is damaged. You can check this with the Drive Fitness Test. Here you can download:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. Then you can test the HARD drive.
  On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

  By the way: you can save the data on the HARD drive, when you put it in a box external HARD disk. Then you can save the data on another PC, if the HARD drive is ok and have no errors.

  Good bye

• New hard drive does not appear in the disk utility

  I am installing a new hard drive in my late 2011 13 "MacBook Pro. I started using apple's online retrieval system and went to disk utility.

• Dell Inspiron 531 s problem of power/does not recognize the hard drive

  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]."
