• Satellite L305D-S5881 does not recognize the new HARD drive

  Ok. I've had this laptop for a while now.
  It crashed recently. So, I tried to start it up.
  I got "Winload.exe missing or damaged".

  Fortunately, I found an answer to this!
  I got the Vista installation disc and inserted.
  I had this "PAGE_ERROR_IN_NONPAGED_AREA". I fixed too. Stick of 1 GB of RAM to my computer was bad.

  So I replaced it. And during the installation, it hangs. And beeps and undesirable.
  So I thought it was my hard drive. I have a new. (http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/adet.to?poid=431567 please TAKE a LOOK BEFORE RESPONDING).

  I (try) to install and it does nothing.
  I turn it on and it goes to this page with as my enthernet info. Then I go into the BIOS and it appears. I think I could install it wrong.

  Any help?

  Hello

  I think that the new HARD drive is not recognized, because you have not installed the SATA drivers!
  The new mobile phones support the new SATA controller and especially the drivers are not included in the Windows operating system.

  So, you must first include the SATA drivers before install you the operating system.
  AFAIK the L305D supports an AMD and ATI chipset and SATA drivers must be placed in the ATI graphics driver package.

  On the other hand, you could install the operating system without the use of SATA drivers.
  I think that the BIOS must contain the SATA mode option. Usually it s set to AHCI. Pass this option in compatibility mode and you should be able to install the operating system.

• DV9810us not to recognize the new HARD drive?

  Hello

  I tried recently update my HARD since the 160 GB drive it is initially supplied with due to disk failure. I installed the new HARD drive (a 160 GB, 1.5 GB/S 5400 RPM WD Scorpio Blue) and when I go to start the computer, it will display the HP logo and options before going off after less than 5 seconds. It restarts then 3 more times, before loading any bootable media that I inserted. Right now, I have an external HARD drive that I am running Ubuntu off the coast of so I can at least use the computer at the moment.

  At the BIOS screen, I'm going under Drive Diagnostics and it says IDE Device not found. I find this strange being the wrong drive I took out the laptop SATA. I inserted my Vista Ultimatex64 7 disc and when he asks an installation location, it says not found hard drives.

  The new drive is not dead either, I have hooked up to my desktop via a port SATA extra and is easily recognizable.

  You use the same drive connector in a cage and at the end of the old drive?  I saw where a new drive connector seems to be the same, but they do not work.

• Satellite L450 - install the new hard drive

  Hi, I hope someone can help, I have a Satellite L450, which has windows 7 preloaded on it. However, the hard drive became corrupt and unable to use, unfortunately I never backed up anything.
  Can I buy a new hard drive and install it? If yes how to operate as I no o/s on cd?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi 4ordie,

  Of course, you can replace the HARD drive that s no problem. Replace HARD drive has 5 or 10 minutes and you can do it yourself because it s not very complicated.

  New drive HARD doesn t contain all the files and you will need to install the operating system and all the drivers yourself but I m wondering why you don t have an installation disc (recovery). It s clearliy mentioned in the manual how to do this.

  In any case, no, you can order a Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings:

• Tecra P4 not to recognize the new HARD drive

  Hi all

  I have a Tecra P4 - PTS40A-02100V, which does not recognize the new drive of 80 GB Hitachi (HTS541080G9SA00). The laptop is out of warranty and replacement drive was purchased. This is the second new floppy disk that the supplier sent me. The provider is an official supplier of Toshiba in Australia. Customer paid ~ $400AUD to the drive, if that could be a costly exercise.

  I am able to get a vanilla Toshiba restore to work on the PC, but our organization uses WinPE based boot environment PXE for the kickoff of image and the version of Windows XP. It is not possible to use a generic Windows XP in our environment.

  DiskPart in WinPE will not recognize the disc. Partition Magic and other popular applications will recognize the disc, others not. I can create an NTFS partition and format. Can create basic MBR and MFT, no chance to recognize. Also, I can use the drive in a caddy USB Windows XP on another end PC.

  This new drive appear the same questions in a known working P4. I don't see any option in the BIOS to work around the problem. I updated the BIOS to v3.20, but the result is the same.

  Clues?

  Hey Buddy,

  Just to test: is it possible to install Windows from the Toshiba Recovery disk? Have you tested this?

  And interesting to know what the authorized service provider said of this behaviour. Did you already ask guys?

• Cannot recognize the external hard drive.

  Have an iMac with Parallels and Windows SP installed Pro computer.  Until yesterday, when we had a power outage, I had a Verbatim external disk set on the Windows side of the machine that worked very well.  I the embroidery machine and I keep my drawings on this small hard drive and access it through a software on the side of my Mac Windows.  Since the blackout, my Mac does not recognize the Verbatim.  I tried the Verbatim on another pc and it works fine.  Turned on my Mac, is gone on the side of the window, plugged in the Verbatim... little popup appears asking if I want it on the Mac or my Virtual Machine.  I loaded Virtual Machine.  When I go to my program of embroidery and search the external hard drive, he doesn't "see" it.  Then a box comes up and says "do you want it disconnected from your Mac" and it must be removed by force of the virtual machine.  NOTHING WORKS.  It worked perfectly before and I can't figure out how to get my Virtual Machine (Windows) to recognize.

  Hi gloriajstitcher,

  Check if the disk is detected by plugging it into a different port.

  I suggest you post in your query in the Parallels forums to improve the assistance:

• Satellite A200-1TS - Win XP does not recognize the new HARD drive

  Dear Forum,

  My HD crashed, I installed a new, but XP will not recognize.
  I created a new partition with Partition wizard home edition, and with a Mini XP bootable CD I can access Hd, reading and writing, but if I try to install XP from the CD of origin of the system does not have a usable hard drive.
  Any part of the material blocking this new HD? How can I install windows XP on a hard disk new?

• Precision T3500 recognizes the new HARD drive

  I have a new 4 TB Seagate hard drive that I'm tempted to install than the third HDD on my Dell Precision T3500 system. The BIOS detects the drive fine, but nothing in the operating system (Windows 7 64-bit) find it - no disk, Device Manager or Seagate diagnostic tools management.

  Seagate support said the only thing that might be, is that my fast storage Chipset driver needs to be updated. It's a little out of my depth. I tried searching for a driver updated via the Device Manager, but it says my driver is up to date, but that date is 2010. I downloaded these files:

  INTEL_RAPID-STORAGE-TECHNOLO_A07_R291721. EXE

  SATA_DRVR_WIN_R264763. EXE

  on the site of driver from Dell, but I'm not clear what to do with them.

  SATA Operation should be AHCI and INTEL RST must be 10.1 or higher.  OS must be the 64-bit version, you also need a series of Host Bus Adapter as the Rocket 600.  That's what western Digital uses to resolve these problems.  ACHI HBA is necessary.  The rocket 620 HBA is a solution.

  Intel RST replaces Intel Matrix Storage Manager.  HOWEVER you cannot update to your hearts content of 7-8-9-10 11-12 or 13 etc.  As newer chipsets and drivers get the older ICH5 6 7 8 9 etc. are removed from support.

  If you try to install the operating system on a disk 512th with an older Intel® RST 9.6 version driver, the installation process could not complete.  This driver is not validated with your XPS and may not work at all. There is ZERO support for it if its does not work.  The INSTALLATION of THIS DRIVER if its does not work can lead to the loss of 100 percent of all data.  Do so at your own RISK.  Installing a version higher than taken chipset support does the same thing.  All data lost RAID restart from zero.

  64 bit OS is required for readers more 2 TB

  INTEL RST over the 10.1 version is required for larger than 2 TB drives

  http://knowledge.Seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/218615en

  Like other types of software, the Intel RST drivers are updated to keep pace with new technologies. Intel drivers, found in versions of the retail of Windows 7 have a limit of 2.2 TB. Rather than cutting capacity to 2.2 TB, the limitation is expressed like the rest above 2.2 to. In other words, the driver causes the windows operating to see a 3 TB drive 746.52 GiB (or 800 GB).

  With OS two 32-bit, the start address of length and partition partition are stored as 32-bit quantities.
  Because the block size is 512 bytes, this means that neither the maximum size of a partition
  Neither the maximum start address (both in bytes) can be greater than 2 ^ 32 × 512 bytes, or 2 TiB

  http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/hardware/gg463525.aspx

  The GUID (GPT) Partition Table has been introduced under the initiative of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). The maximum size of the partition (disc) is a function of the operating system version. The original version of Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP have a limit of 2 TB per physical disk, including all partitions. For Windows Server 2003 SP1, Windows XP x 64 edition and later versions, the maximum raw score of 18 exabytes may be supported. (Windows file systems are currently limited to 256 terabytes each.)

• Tecra 8000 does not recognize the new HARD drive

  I read on this forum and Google search, but nothing helped.

  I think the disk on Tecra 8000 (Pentium II, 266 Mhz) is "dead".
  I tried to replace it with another laptop to see if that would work.

  The laptop does not, even if I put just like the original.
  Y at - it somehow special or what I have to change something in the Bios?

  Hello

  Don t need to change BIOS settings

  As long as you use the compatible HARD disk, the BIOS should recognize the HARD drive automatically without big problems
  What drive did you use? What size, interface, etc.

  The Tecra 8000 is an oldie and I think that you could use only the 4 GB; 6 GB; 9 GB; 10 GB; 14GB IDE hard drives.

  More large hard disks would be not recognized by the BIOS.

• 860-160SE Phoenix envy: how to get 10 Windows to recognize the new hard drive

  I installed a new WD Black 2 TB hard drive and the BIOS sees it, but Windows does not. It is not found in Windows. What I am doing wrong or do I need to put in place?

  Hello

  You can see Windows disk management? You must initialize and give it a drive letter and Windows 10 should see under Explorer files (old Windows Explorer).

  To access disk management please use search (or Win + Q) and type "Disk management" and then click the Service.

  Kind regards.

• Cannot start the new hard drive after clone on T61p

  I have a T61p which had a Hitachi HD of 100G.  I bought through Lenovo a Toshiba 500 G HD placed in the location of the laptop HD, put the old HD 100 G in an ultrabay adapter when we normally DVD drive and booted from a Clonezilla Live USB 4 G drive.  I made one device to device taking the detault options.  Seems to have worked without any problems.  I change all parameters of the pre box office IBM.

  BIOS is set to boot the HD in the laptop HD slot, then the HD in the ultrabay slot.  However, after start-up, it seems I'm now start from the old drive in the ultrabay adapter.  Windows Vista disk management shows the two discs, and it shows both drives, even with a score of 700M, then roughly a score of 93G.  The new HD has the rest of the unallocated space, which is ok since I use Vista or GPARTED to decompress.  The old HD has a flag "boot" game, and both car are "active".

  If I take the HD in the ultrabay outside housing, I get a black screen with a title of Manager of Windows startup with three options, then the error below:

  file: \windows\system32\winload.exe

  status: 0xc000000e

  DESC: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or damaged.

  I have googled and looked through this forum and found several hits, but I don't know what I see.  I saw where someone had used Norton Ghost with the - ib switch, but I have used Clonezilla.  Any ideas?

  ALSO, how can I know if I have successfully copied the pre box office IBM?  and if I have to put hormaux or people with reduced mobility, where could I do?

  Problem solved.  Since then I cloned the drive and which included the partition predesktop area/hidden from IBM, so with the old drive in the ultrabay being removed housing, I was able to start using the blue thinkvantage key when starting of the machine.  From there, I could run a repair that solved the problem.  Now, the new disc has the 'boot' flag and cannot be used for a startup in Windows Vista.

• Windows 7 does not recognize the new hard drive during installation

  My Pavilion hard drive died.  I ordered a new identical and it arises.  Windows 7 starts to load (since a key USB as my DVD died a long time ago) and gets it Windows on the screen asking me to select a player.  But there is no choice to drive in the menu and I can't go any further.  Is the new drive dead too?  Someone suggested that I need to reinstall a 'chip game' and if that's the problem, how to do that?  Thank you!!

  I'm glad that the hard drive is seen now.  To the extent where the DVD player, if you have purchased a new DVD player for the laptop, and you have it installed, then there is something else involved here.  In this MANUAL, it seems that it is just a simple operation change out.  Must be another reason it does not work or is recognized in the BIOS.

• cannot add the new hard drive more than 2 TB on vsphere upgrade 5

  can someone give me a clue? I can't add new greater than 2 TB drive to my vm on my upgraded vsphere 5.0. My data store is 6 TB and already read by vsphere... I create new virtual machine and add the new drive, but it limits again just 2 TB when I change 4 TB, the error message will appear. I recently added my datastore LUN with VMFS5 version. is there a any mistake I made? Please help me this problem is so frustrating me... i need to create new disk 6 TB to my new file server

  Hello.

  You will need to use a RDM in physical Compatibility Mode to achieve. As weinstein5 said, a VMDK cannot be greater than 2-to-512bytes. You can use the OS to spread over several 2 TB-512bytes VMDK, if that's what you really want.

  Good luck!
