• Cannot detect the boot device after factory new HARD drive format

  First of all, I have a HP Pavilion G6 I bought in December 2012. Yesterday, I decided to make a new record HARD to upgrade and start over. It is a hybrid SSD + HDD 1 TB of Seagate. It installed without a hitch, and I used my HP recovery CD to make a factory disk formatting.

  He finishes, reboot, but instead to restart the HP Windows 8 installation screens, he goes to what looks like Windows 8 course mode with a box containing the date, time and he said something in the sense of 'Installing the driver HP diagnostics' with an OK. By clicking on that or didn't disappear, and there is a command line bar in the lower left corner of the screen.

  The screen becomes a HP screen that begins to install the drivers. It ends and restarts to a black screen that says "no boot device not detected, please install OS."

  I did a disk check and that's fine. I swapped my reader, and it loads fine. In fact, it's what I use now for this type.

  What could be the problem here? The boot order has never changed in the BIOs. If it was the faulty connector I doubt he would charge the reader who was always in the computer. Load disc newly formatted in an external case indicates that Windows 8 is indeed on this subject, but on a 93GB partition even if the disc is 1 TB.

  I'm in a stalemate here, and nobody seems to know what to do!

  It was indeed the hybrid propulsion system. I exchanged for a normal HARD drive and resetting factory completed without a hitch. It was the mistake on my part! I never guessed it would have been the problem.

• Problems of formatting of the new hard drive in Macbook Pro

  Hello

  My internal hard drive in my MacBook Pro mid 2012 broke down. So I installed a new hard drive a ST1000LM014 of Seagate 1 TB hybrid discs which according to IFIXIT.com must be compatible.

  I then boot the server Apple Macbook and party in disk Utillity to format the hard drive. The hard drive is visible and I'm then in the partition, choose the 1 partition, Mac OS X (journaled) + GUID. But while the partition that I get the error message failed to file system format.

  I tried different options in disk Utillity and I am able to format the disk using FAT or ExFat. But it does not help me to use my mac hard drive.

  Does anyone have any ideas on what to do? And it does not seem like a problem with the functionality of the hard drive?

  Thank you

  You must select the disk of material-name (upper, outermost level descriptor), not Volume name.

• new hard drive recognized in the device mgr but not my computer how to format?

  bought a new hard drive for additional storage running on xp home SP3.  It is recognized in the bios and in Device Manager but not on 'my computer '.  How can I access it to get in shape or to install the NTFS file system on it (if the formatting is incorrect terminology) then it will become usable as a storage device.

  You use the disk for this purpose.

  Start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK

  Right-click on the unallocated space, choose New Partition and use the wizard to (a) define a drive letter, (b) the size of the partition and (c) format the newly created partition.

  For step by step directions: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309000

  To keep things simple, to stick to "basic disks and volumes" and "primary partitions" (you can have up to 4 per physical disk).

• new hard drive, how to reinstall OS x

  I have a new hard drive after a crash of the former. How can I install OSX top?

  You should be able to boot the Mac using recovery Internet if you updated the firmware to enable.

  OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support

  If you don't have to update the Firmware to allow it to use the Internet in recovery, you need to use the installation provided with the Mac DVD.

  Either way, you start the Mac.

  Open disk utility and format the drive under OS X Extended journaled.

  Then, quit disk utility and reinstall OS X.

  Who will install the operating system on the Mac (likely Lion).

  You can then improve it to El Capitan.

  If you have a Time Machine backup, you can restore it in recovery from the Internet instead of reinstalling the operating system.

• Satellite Pro C660-1LR - new HARD drive but no recovery disk

  I need help for my son who is the Satellite Pro C660 1LR laptop.

  In this portable hard drive is completely dead, I have not created a disk of recovery for this system of portable computers.
  I bought a new hard drive that is installed... However, as you guessed it I have no access to reinstall an OS, this laptop works on windows 7.

  I'm not really tech savvy so if someone can advise me please do explain to the fool proof format! I try to avoid having to buy something expensive.

  > I'm trying to avoid having to buy something expensive.
  Problem is that you don't have many options in this regard.
  If you want to have the factory again settings you must install recovery disc. You can order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx of course is not free, but, in my opinion, without a doubt the best solution.

  You can buy the Microsoft installation disc and install the clean version. You must purchase a valid license for it.
  In this case, you must install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities for more than one by one.

  Just in case you can get this installation of Microsoft and the free license you can save money.

  Believe me, the best solution is the original recovery disk command.

• Satellite M45 - does not start after restoration on the new HARD drive

  I installed a new PATA 250 GB HDD on my pc. The BIOS is configured to boot from CD/DVD. Toshiba Recovery disk started cold, start follow-up statement to load a new system on the HARD drive. He made a (quick) format on the HARD drive, spent 50 minutes, copy the files from the CD to the new HARD drive. Followed the instructions to remove the CD and reboot the pc. Did. I get the Toshiba homepage for 2-3 seconds, and then I get a white screen with a white block cursor in the upper corner of the LH of the screen. Looks like it does not find the block on the HARD disk?
  The procedure of collection 3 times with the same results. Checked the BIOS to check that it is configured to boot from the HARD disk after installation.

  The recovery CD is blank. Never used because I bought the PC (3.5 years). Put the new HARD drive in a USB enclosure and formatted with Windows, tried again with the same result? Put the old HDD, PC starts and works very well. Put the live CD Knoppix and boot from that, works very well. See the new HARD drive.

  Thus, any suggestions are appreciated. The recovery CD Toshiba is defective? In any case to test?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Sounds like a problem with the recovery disk or the new HARD disk if your computer starts up fine with the old HARD drive...

  In your case before you start a lengthy discussion, you should try a Microsoft Windows disk to install Windows. If he work it seems that only the recovery disk is defective.

  Otherwise, the HARD disk must be defective. Maybe a bad sector or something else

• Portege R500-11Z: recovery disk to help prepare a new HARD drive

  I bought a new hard drive (SSD) for my R500-11Z and I put in an envelope with the USB cable before installation - I want to be able to format the drive and create a new copy of Windows XP before you get out of my existing hard drive.

  I'm looking for ways to use the recovery disk and it SEEMS that it should be possible... EXCEPT...

  I discovered that on the recovery disk there is an executable called recoUNPACK in the Tools folder, which should, in theory, restore the contents of the disc to the hard drive. However, because the new hard drive is plugged into my existing XP set up, he gets a folder called System Volume Information written in it. The presence of this file causes the recoUNPACK to fail. He gets, at 59%, every time, and then survey the error - System Volume Information already exists.

  Any person proposing the deletion of the folder should consider their knowledge of the XP - there is no way to do this, ask Mr. Google if you don't believe me. I also tried this with full of this folder write permissions so that, in theory, could replace recoUNPACK...

  I would be very grateful if someone knows a way of "forcing" crush the System Volume information folder or another way to 'restore' the recovery of my new hard drive disk (other that disassemble the laptop and substitute physically the disc!).

  I have reviewed various options for establishing a USB bootable drive, but as I will adapt it in my laptop I don't want running all versions of XP - so using the recovery disc supplied with my odd R500. All bootable USB I can find only programs, fat32 format, and I would stay in NTFS...

  And the reason why I want to do it this way, it is that I want to continue to use my existing hard drive until the news is ready - its supposed to be an effective way to work... but so far the time wasted, trying to restore the disks could have been better spent undoing the screws on the rear of the machine!

  Thanks in advance

  > However, because the new hard drive is plugged into my existing XP set up, he gets a folder called System Volume Information written in it. The presence of this file causes the recoUNPACK to fail. He gets, at 59%, every time and then lift the error - System Volume Information already exists

  Hmm the right path and the letter of the partition or volume entitled did you use?

  As far as I know that the command should show something like this:

  + recounpack.exe d:\imagename.tpa z: f +.

  (z: is the letter of your external USB drive and may be different in your case)

• New HARD drive is not recognized on Tecra M1

  Hello

  I am new to this forum, so apologies if this is an old question.

  My Tecra M1 gave a quality service for the past 6 years, but recently, the Toshiba management console has put a message saying that the HARD drive will fail quickly.

  I loaded immediately turned off my main files before you remove the HARD drive. It is a Toshiba MK6022gax 60 gig IDE hard drive. I bought a new disc of gigabytes of 60 MK6022gax, but when I mounted this same I got the error message "error ide #0". Installation XP or the BIOS can see this new record.

  I then reassembled the old HARD drive, which started OK. I then mounted the new disk in a USB enclosure, initialized, partitioned and quick formatted using the XP disk management. He picked up OK. Then I copied some files to it and read them back with no problems, then the drive itself works very well. But when I plug as the main 'C' drive, I get the error message again and is not recognized by the bios or XP put in place.

  Clearly, there is some BIOS (?) or startup procedure I have to do to get this recognized record. Help!

  I have Tecra M1 long with 60 GB HARD drive. Right now, I've updated compatible HDD TOSHIBA HDD 2184 B.
  I can confirm that the HARD drive is recognized correctly and I actually have the new install of WXP Pro.

  In any case, have you tried to upgrade the BIOS to the default settings?
  As far as I know that nothing should be set before you put the new HARD drive and it must be recognized correctly.

• Pavilion series P6000: Configure the new HARD drive.

  I install a new Seagate 1 TB HARD drive in a Pavilion P6620F.  What I need to clone new HARD drive or just run the recovery discs?

  It all depends of what your intentions are.

  You are replacing the original disk or adding storage space?

  The simplest method would be to clone the current to the new hard drive, when you replace the original hard drive. Install the drive cloned in the same place where the Moose an and with the same connectors.  Start the PC and everything should be STATED as it was before, except that it will be on a new hard drive.

  If you add a drive for extra storage of storage, it is simply a matter of conecting a sata conector between unused hard drive and a sata header and connect a power connector from the hard drive.

  Once it is done, turn on the PC and log in to Windows.

  Use Windows Explorer to create up to four partitions and then format the partitions.  I am unware of how space exists in the case ATX mid for additional disks.

• Inability to read the new HARD drive

  I bought a new hard drive for my laptop. After installing it, I didn't get the message none found a fixed drive. I updated the bios from the Toshiba site and the same message is still there.

  I also tried the drive in another laptop. It has been recognized correctly, so I formatted one installed Windows XP Pro top. It worked ok so I tried again in my laptop but message saying put system disk and press any key. So I put XP disc in it starts the installation starts to transfer files and doesn't give the message no hard drive found so it still does not find the hard drive.

  Please can someone help?

  Hi Ken

  It will be interesting to know what model of laptop you have. Obviously the HARD drive is not properly recognized. On this path, it is not easy to say why, but perhaps there is problem with the contacts and the HARD drive cannot be recognized by BIOS.

  Good bye

• Satellite A100-529 and new HARD drive

  I bought a new HARD drive: Samsung HM320JI (320 GB/SATA/5400 RPM / 8 M I)
  When I turn on my laptop, it loads as 60%, and then it crashes. Why? It is not compatible?

  Satellite A100-529
  PSAA2e-01J00ZG3
  BIOS: 2.30

  What should I do?
  I formatted my new HDD using my desktop PC

  I don't understand what you mean with these 60%. 60% of what?

  In my opinion the new HARD drive should work fine with your Satellite A100.
  As Alex has already written fair use facilities for the installation of the OS recovery disk and I think everything should be OK.

• Satellite M30x - new HARD drive does not work

  Hello.

  I am installing a new ATA 2.5 "internal hard drive for my Toshiba M30X-166. The drive is a Seagate Momentus 5400.3 120 GB model. The laptop does not recognize the disc and no related error message appears, and in the BIOS, it shows as "HD not available."

  I put this drive in an external USB - IDE enclosure and was detected by my desktop PC, and I was able to partition and format the Momentus, so I know the drive is indeed work, but my M30X still does not detect the drive.

  What can I do to make the laptop recognize this unit? The BIOS M30X is: Phoenix EAL20 version 1.90.

  Thanks for your help.

  Hello!

  Have you tried another HARD drive? The new HARD drive is may not compatible with the laptop or does work does not correctly.

  Normally, a 120 GB HARD drive should work because the laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits and so you can only use hard drives 120 GB.
  In the worst cases, the HARD disk on the motherboard controller is defective :(

  Good bye

• Re: Satellite U400-11 q with Vista has new HARD drive but no recovery disk

  Hello

  Before starting a very important message: I do not usually work with pc... :-) At my work we have an IT Department for our PC :-))

  However, now I have to work privately with a PC / laptop and I need help: I'm sitting in front of a Toshiba Satellite U400-11 q with a HARD drive completely newly formatted and unfortunately WITHOUT recovery CD or DVD!

  So, I now have to put on all the involved drivers as well as drivers TOSHIBA original, right?

  How can I do this? What drivers to I need? Do I have to download all the drivers concerned (total 113) one by one on the Web from Toshiba site?

  ANY help is appreciated as I see myself spend all night in front of the PC...

  Thank you
  M
