New HD not detected

HP/Compaq Presario V6000 factory 120 GB hard drive is dead.  BIOS Diagnostics ran and it failed after the Quick Test.  Replaced HD with the new HD 250 GB (not a refurb).  Ran twice the BIOS diagnostics and passed twice.  Install WinXP says that there is no HD and refuses to start installing (so the two BIOS diagnostics works!).  All this in the BIOS looks OK.  Any ideas on where to go from here?

Thank you

Dave

Are you using XP Recovery discs or a retail XP cd? Is this machine an Intel or AMD processor?

My assumptions are it is an Intel machine and you are using a retail XP cd. XP not driver SATA for Intel based machines, so it's not 'see' the hard drive. You can disable "Native SATA" in the BIOS Setup to activate XP to install_if this V6000 is less than the series V6500, such as V6120 or V6410.etc. Models, starting at V6500 have no option in the BIOS.

Another scenario would use a XP cd at least SP1 on an AMD computer. All the foregoing SP1 see the hard drive on AMD machines.

  • My new airport does not detect my existing WiFi network, I can connect only via the LAN.

    Bought a new airport 1 TB TimeCapsule and I wanted to add to my existing via a WLAN network. It does not detect it and I can connect only via the LAN. What I am doing wrong?

    Unfortunately, unable to connect to a 3rd time Capsule part wireless using a Wi - Fi.

    You need to connect to the time Capsule to your existing modem/router using a wired Ethernet cable connection, permanent... like the Time Capsule Setup Guide illustrates.

    If you really don't want the time Capsule to connect using the wireless... she can do... If it gets a signal to another Apple wireless router. So if you were ready to add another Apple... as an AirPort Extreme router... and connect it to your existing Ethernet cable router/modem and configure AirPort Extreme to broadcast a wireless signal... .then.. .the Time Capsule would be able to connect in this way, assuming that he is where he can receive a good quality of AirPort Extreme wireless signal.

  • 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?

  • New Pavilion dv7, HP TrueVision HD webcam not detected

    Just bought my new Pavilion dv7, and when I run the Cam software, it tells me that my HP TrueVision HD webcam is not detected. I tried this for a few days, at a point when I was trying to play with the settings you Cam, webcam light on for aprox. 2 seconds and then died again, since then, it won't let me even in the settings of YouCam.

    Right now I am more and more convinced that it is because of my laptop being assembled outside the United States. Need a fix for it immediately.

    Hi guys,.

    I had the same problem with a HP Pavilion dv7-6e22b. I read on a short cable inside the screen.
    I found the post on the way in which the display is connected. It's an older model but I was curious to know how to remove the cover of the machine. It contains 2 screws (that I didn't have to remove to access the camera) just be causious does not break the bevel.

    http://www.insidemylaptop.com/remove-LCD-screen-inverter-Board-HP-Pavilion-dv7-notebook/

    It is an older model in the new model, the connector of the webcam is located directly under the lens of the webcam itself.
    I pressed connector you slightly. And suddenly I hear a USB all OFA linking sound. After that my device manager showed a "device-image", and the software work directly.

    I jump it will solve your problems. I say read all messages and do not find a solution to the driver or software and after seeing the connector, I think it's an effort of poor deisgn by using short cables and small connectors.

    good luck to all!

    When I put the new battery in the laptop, unplugged computer, press the power button, the Red battery light blinks several times, no power.

    When I plug the power to the laptop, the red light on the battery remains red as-if the load, once windows has loaded the battery shows as not detected.

    I kept the battery charge during 12 hours +, both the 2nd and 3rd battery I received, and none of them show only detected.
    When the laptop is off, new battery, ca, red light stays on for about an hour then it continually flashes. This occurs at the same time. After loading it lights up to insert ac, then when windows loading, undetected bat.
    When I put my original battery in turns without ac and battery and correct information shows.

    I returned the 1st battery, once I reported a 2nd defective, he sent me a 3rd. The dealer has a very positive feedback and good comment, I recently received an email from the merchant who quote
    "There could be a problem with the system, as one you returned to us work perfectly well."

    I have a good loyal battery which lasts 20 minutes, which recognizes at all times and costs without problem.

    Are these batteries original battery Toshiba Toshiba name on the label of the battery?
    Start your laptop without battery power only, and when the windows are fully charged the battery in place. Battery is correctly recognized?

  • Why my Satellite does not detect a new module of memory?

    Hello

    Today, I installed a new memory module SDRAM 128 MB in my Satellite 1670. It is not a real module but on the package is the right code: PA3005U.
    After that I turned on the computer, it is not detected then I use still 32 MB of RAM.
    How can I solve this problem?

    Steef

    Hello

    The fact is that you use the right memory module. It is not easy to say why the new module is not recognized correctly. The slot is maybe defective. Try to remove 32 MB module and use any other location 1. (Unfortunately I put t know if this device has two or one single location for memory expansion).

  • CQ5110y - new graphics card not detected

    I have a cq5110y that I am trying to upgrade the graphics on.

    I just installed a bigger power supply and is working on the installation of a Sapphire Radeon R7 240, but when I turn on my computer it does not detect the new hardware.  Am I missing a step?  Or is the card DOA?

    The steps to install the new card were quite simple--plug it into the PCI-e slot and connect the monitor.  There was a note to disable any integrated first graphic, so I put the display to PCI-e in the BIOS.  Is that all I had to do to disable the integrated graphics card?  I think that this could be my problem?

    Your Compaq Presario CQ5110Y desktop uses a chipset NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 seems limited to the PCI Express 1.0 version.  PCIe v1.0 is compatible front of PCIe v2.0.  PCIe v2.1 and above is not backwards comptible with your motherboard. Your Sapphire Radeon R7 240 seems to use a PCIe v3.0 card and is therefore not compatible with your computer. Please return the card for a graphic card PCIe v2.0 solve your problem.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
