new drive HARD Seagate Barracuda not recognized in the BIOS

Hello

The Inspiron 530 desktop computer BIOS does not recognize my new HARD drive. It's a Seagate Barracuda 500 GB (ST3500413AS). I try to reinstall Vista, but installation can't find a drive with 3.9 GB. Wrong type of drive in the BIOS found, I think that.

Tried several things, but no results: check the BIOS, but with automatic selection drive only to find a 4 GB (wrong type), updated the BIOS drive (now 1.0.18), tried several drivers with startup etc.

Think I need a good driver, but on the site Web of Seagate, they say that there is no firmware for this drive.

can someone help me?

THX, David

Thanks for all the support.

It wasn't a problem with the SATA 3 or something like that, but the HARD drive was missing. There is no other choice. Come back with my HARD drive (and information) to the store and finally got a new. I hope that the other works :)

THX and greetings

  • Hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS - Equium A60

    Hi hope someone can help. I have a Toshiba Equium EA60-173 and the hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS. When I remove the hard drive and put it in another laptop it is detected fine. I also tried another hard drive in the Toshiba and that does not work either. So I suspect the IDE controller has disappeared, but can I do to confirm this? I wish there was an option in the BIOS to force detection. I updated the BIOS but still the same.

    This laptop is only just out of warranty, so if it is the controller would I need to replace the motherboard? Are there other options at my disposal?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Neil,

    Unless there is some physical\problem with the cable/connector hard drive, then it is most likely that you will have a new mainboard for your laptop. I suggest you to contact an authorized service partner and ask them to check your laptop and give you an estimate of the cost of the repair. Then you can try to shop for less expensive alternatives.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite A60 - replacement HD not recognized in the BIOS

    I have an A60 which began to shut down and not start.
    I tried to use the restore CD that has reinstalled the operating system, but the laptop still not managed to start after that.

    I suspected that the HD failed and bought a toshiba 40gig drive replacement. I have installed the new drive but and been in the BIOS (F2 and F1), but the BIOS indicates there is no HD installed.

    The recovery CD installs saying there no drive selected.

    Can anyone offer any help or advice on what I can try next?

    Here are some technical details.

    > I have an A60 which began to shut down and not start.
    I tried to use the restore CD that has reinstalled the operating system, but the laptop still not managed to start after that.
    For me, it looks more like an overheating problem caused by the internal temperature.
    It is a typical problem if the cooling fans are clogged and that air can circulate properly.

  • A SSD from OCZ Agility 3 disc works with a dv9700T? Mine is not recognized by the BIOS.

    I bought a 120 GB OCZ SSD Agility 3 disc to install in my laptop the dv9700T CTO.  The drive is not recognized by the BIOS when it is installed in the Bay of 1 or 2, but is recognized when connected via USB as a secondary drive.  The drive works fine in a different computer, so I know the drive works.  There seems to be a problem with the SATA (ICH8) controller.

    Someone at - it any information on that?  Would love to get the drive works in my laptop.

    Thank you.

    Lloyd

    If you have a HARD drive installed in the secondary Bay and the OCZ SSD in the first Bay, the dv9700t starts and works very well.

    Hello

    Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    I suggest you follow the methods and check them off below if it helps.

    Method 1:

    Try the troubleshooting hardware and devices running tool and check.
    Reference: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Open-the-Hardware-and-Devices-troubleshooter

    Method 2:

    Check your hard drive for errors:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-a-drive-for-errors
     
    Note: when running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.


    Method 3:

    Initialize the disk in disk management.

    Create and format a hard disk partition : http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-and-format-a-hard-disk-partition

    Note: Converting a hard disk partition or volume from NTFS to FAT32 requires that you reformat the partition, which deletes all the data on this subject. Be sure to back up data that you want to keep before you begin.

    Method 4:

    Try to connect with another computer and check if it helps.

    If the problem is still persist, then it would be best to contact Seagate for further assistance.

  • Satellite L50 - B - 2 8 - new SSD is not recognized in the BIOS settings

    Hello

    I just bought a new laptop Toshiba Satellite L50 - B - 2-8 and I also bought Samsung SSD 850 evo 250 GB.
    When I try to install the SSD drive rather my drive HARD, the BIOS show 'none' in the category of SSD/HDD (BIOS not recognize the SSD).

    Please help me.
    My bios version is: 2.00
    someone told me that I have to downgrade my version of BIOS to 1.2V and then the BIOS recognize the SSD drive, so perhaps someone here can send me a download link for version 1.2 of my model L50 - B - 2-8.
    Thank you

    someone told me that I have to downgrade my version of BIOS to 1.2V

    And who? I mean you are sure that this person was right?
    From my point of view of the few there is no reason why beginning version BIOS should recognize the SSD and the latest version of the BIOS is not...

    But BIOS v1.2 for series Satellite L50 - B - 2 8 PSKTQE there is no v2.0 (at this time) is the latest version and previous versions of BIOS are not available for this series.

    Also, I guess you must slimply check different SSD drive... it might be possible that the other SSD drive would be recognized correctly.

    By the way: I am owner of Evo 850 SSD drive and as I remember, I had to update the firmware of the SSD drive to use it correctly in my other laptop (not the Toshiba device)

  • Satellite L100: CD/DVD drive is not recognized in the Bios or workstation

    Satellite L100 - 170 No.PSLA3E model 02501QEN under Win XP.

    The icon of the CD/DVD drive has disappeared from the desktop and is not listed in the Device Manager or showing in the BIOS.
    There is power to the drive and the tray ejects OK
    I tried to use the ease of adding new hardware in the Control Panel, but it does not list a CD player.
    I removed the disc and then re - it sitting, but it made no difference.

    I used the restoration of the system for the last available date 26 January 08, but it does not restore the CD player... and I have none, he worked at that time.
    I don't think it's a faulty drive, because he is picking up power and when you insert a CD, it starts as if she was about to read the disc, but nothing appears on the screen.

    The laptop belongs to a child with autism and all I can get out he is "I don't know" when asked what happened to the laptop.
    Sorry I don't have any other information.

    Can anyone help.

    Thank you

    Well, usually if the CD/DVD drive doesn t appear in the BIOS or BIOS cannot recognize the ODD then chances are that the CD/DVD drive is malfunctioning.

    But the best way to check this is a new installation of the OS. You should try to boot from a bootable XP CD.
    If the laptop would be able to boot from the CD, then the material is ok.

  • Floppy drive to ASR disk not recognized at the end of the backup on external drive

    Before you back up to an external hard drive, I'm warned I need a disc to record recovery system information.  Once the backup is complete, I said that he cannot make the ASR diskette because there is no disk drive.  But there is a car and I loaded it with a new DVD.  It shows the disc and the MBs available on the DVD by clicking on 'computer '.  How can I get the backup program from Vista to recognize that the floppy drive is there and ready to accept the ASR information?

  • HP Pavilion dv7-6004ea: new SSD not recognized in the BIOS

    Hi I have a want dv7 and is currently using a 700 GB drive HARD However im upgrading to an SSD

    I bought a Sandisc SSD PLUS 120 GB, I cloned the HDD to the SSD, I see partitions

    in windows Explorer when im running HDD, but when I try to boot from SSD I get an error

    error code (3F2) I ran diagnosis but no result without error of ideas? Thank you

    If you use the Apricorn software and a usb cable to SATA it should work.

    I did it several times without problem, except when I got an SSD that was a problem.

    Replace the original hard drive in the notebook.

    Download the latest version of the firmware from the manufacturer to the SSD and install it.

    Once you have done this, try cloning of the OS for the SSD, reinstall it in Notepad and start on the SSD.

  • HARD drive is not recognized on the Satellite 2800 200

    Hello

    First of all, I'm Dutch so I hope that I do not have too many mistakes in my English writing.

    I bought a 2800-200 Satellite at a friend's House. This laptop has a problem.
    When it is started is says "insert the disk in the drive system. Press a key when readya?.

    My bios is ACPI BIOS version 1.80
    In Pheripheral in Bios it says disc hard = not used Mode.

    On page two discs i/o: HARD drive: no drive.

    I tried two hard drives and the two were not working and not recognized in the BIOS.
    I have no CD of restoration.

    My questions:

    What kind of central computer has this laptop?
    Can someone help me with the recovery CD?
    What can I do to fix this?
    How can I change my BIOS so that the HARD drive is recognized?

    My hard drive is MK2023GAS and is not broken. There is nothing on this HARD drive.
    But also with the disk hard 10 GB of origin, I had the same problem.

    I hope you can help me and once again I apologize for my English.

    Hello

    I'll try to help you my friend.

    > When it is started is says "insert the disk in the drive system. Press any key when ready
    This message appeared on my laptop after the HARD disk is dead.
    I had to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the operating system.

    I guess that it of the same problem with your laptop. The HARD drive is not present or not recognized, and you will need to install a compatible HDD for the operation of the OS.

    I have google a bit and discovered that this laptop comes with the 10 GB HARD MK1016GAP of Toshiba drive. It supports the interface ATA-2/ATA-3/ATA-4/ATA-5.

    Please note that many BIOS have a limit of size of HARD drive. This means that not all HARD drive sizes are supported! I assume a 20 GB should be compatible, but this is just my own opinion
    > How can I change my BIOS so that the HARD drive is recognized?
    The BIOS can be modified outside the update (check page driver Toshiba-> Archive-> archive of Satellite).
    But vary important is that you use a compatible HARD drive.

    > Can someone help me with the recovery CD?
    Don t know if you will be able to order this CD at the service provider allowed in your country, because the laptop is really an oldie. But you should ask the guys.
    What you is to install the OS from the Microsoft CD-ROM and then could install drivers needed.

  • E3000 can support 4 TB drive hard seagate ST4000DM000

    Hello, I got a new drive hard seagate 4 TB ST4000DM000.

    I try to use it on my Ver.1.0.04 E3000 (version 6) thanks to a hard disk USB 3.0 enclosure, but it failed.

    The router nothing posted on the webpage of storage, the pilot are not not in the table of USB storage device.

    so I formatted the drive on my laptop windows 7, of course with TPG and a single partition.

    It is OK on my laptop now, but can still be found by the router.

    Can Linksys pass the E3000, so the router firmware takes in charge the TPG and the new 4 TB harddrive?

    The HARD drive may be too advanced for the E3000. The USB function on this unit has been tested to work only with the 1.5 TB. Here is the complete list of the tested on an E3000 USB devices. An update of the firmware is not likely to be released, either to improve the function of the DEVICE.

    It would probably be best to upgrade your router. Check out EA6300. This last router is equipped with a USB 3.0 port, ideal for your HARD drive.
