• HP 6120 t BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller

  Hello

  HP 6120 t (vista) BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller. The other SATA disk and the DVD player came with the machine.

  I hooked my old 200 GB Hitachi drive via the controller. I also put the jumbers in the present as a slave. I also took the original WD drive and just connect the IDE hard drive. BIOS do not show any drive at all.

  I would try something possible at this time I have a lot of my data on the old disk.

  Thanks appreciate any suggestion.

  Try to enter the BIOS and I believe under change of Advanced menu of SATA to IDE or Enhanced.

  You need to do when you install Windows XP or you will get a blue screen and it does not start.

• Windows 8 does not show my extra internal hard drives

  My additional internal hard drives are not displayed in windows. I checked the Disk Manager, and they do not show here. It just says not: no media. I checked all connections and they seem to be right.

  If they are not displayed in the disk management, I'd be willing to bet that they are disabled in the BIOS settings.

• Upgrade Vista to Windows 7, files using the second internal hard drive and Windows Easy Transfer.

  I have a desktop pc with 2 internal hard drives.  A hard drive has the BONE and the second hard disk is a separate partition.  (I do not combine hard drives using RAID.)  If I upgrade Vista to Windows 7, the upgrade will be to reformat hard disks or just a hard drive with the operating system?  Should I remove the second hard disk of the computer just to be sure?  The second hard drive must be reformatted for use with Windows 7?

  Thank you.

  You must install the upgrade in the Vista operating system.

• Portege M400: Windows XP does not recognize the 160 GB HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Portege M400 with Windows XP Tablet Edition. Now, I bought a new 160 GB drive. This disk can be recognized within the location Phase Installation of XP. Do I need a new driver?

  Best regards

  Karl Weber

  Hello

  You have to install and include the Portege M400 RAID drivers.
  It's a bit confusing because little protégé M400 does not support 2 HARD drive, but the RAID driver is required.

  Please check the Toshiba European page and download the RAID driver. During the installation of XP her you have to press the F6 key to include the driver from an external USB FDD drive.

  After you have included the don t RAID driver format HARD drive because this will lead to the driver losing.

  Please note that the hard drive needs to be internally mounted inside the computer because Windows Vista will not install on an external hard drive.

• Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive

  Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive, although it worked well for more than two years.  Now I can't access it to install new software.

  It will not be displayed in the Device Manager, bad shooters to say it is not connected or is, tried Fixit fix (could not as "not applicable to your computer update"), uninstall iTunes (in the case of a conflict - even if it worked with the DVD of > 1 year), etc., but still cannot access the DVD.

  It's obviously a known issue, given that a support page - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976187 that recommends the fix or manually disable ALPM active power management.  If it of a known issue, why is not included in the updates and that I have to disable ALPM power if management it worked ok before?

  What now? Is turn off the power, my only option?  What happens if it is not yet recognized after that?

  ==========================================================

  After the foregoing:

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
  correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

• HP Photosmart Prem 310a went offline suddenly and will not identify the SSID to run the Network Setup Wizard.

  All of a sudden the printer has gone offline a few days ago.  Went through all the diagnostics, etc. but nothing fixed.  A solution-Assistant will not work cause it will not identify the SSID of the network that he has done since it was installed (long ago).  Have tried everything I can find online, unless I don't understand or is not quite apply and still nothing.  Wireless network works with everything except the printer.

• Why my computer will not pick up my external hard drive?

  Why my computer will not pick up my external hard drive?
  using Windows 7 sp1

  Original title: usb

  Hello Fred,.

  Windows 7 sometimes has trouble recognizing external drives connected to the USB ports. There are a number of possible corrections for this.

  1. make sure you that the USB port in question works with another device, that you know works. For example, take a mouse that you know doesn't work and plug it into the USB port is connected. The mouse still works? If Yes, go to #2.

  2 do a reset power coercive.

  1. Unplug the power cord. Then (on a laptop) remove the battery.
  2. Unplug all USB devices.
  3. Leave it alone - don't connect or reconnect the devices for several minutes.
  4. After several minutes plug the power supply cord.
  5. Then install the battery.
  6. Turn on the computer and restart as normal without plug any USB device.
  7. Connect your devices one at a time and let them install as usual.

  The external hard drive works now? If not, go to #3.

  3. I have and others have used an application of part 3, the freeware Aomei Partition Wizard, download here: http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html?tag=mncol;1 (only use the Direct download link). Once installed, you need only browse the external drive and select it, then click Properties. That's all; simply choose the drive is enough to get the drive recognized by Windows 7, no formatting required.

  I would like to know if one of these methods works for you. After back here with your results.

  Kind regards

• How can I identify a defective internal hard drive to be replaced on a macpro in early 2009

  How can I identify a defective internal hard drive to be replaced on a macpro 2009 beginning el capitan running

  A good starting point is the Information System (Option while clicking the Menu Apple key). At the hardware level, click on Express SATA/SATA and look for the SMART State in the bottom right pane for each HD listed in the upper pane right. Unless the State is OK, looks like not verified. If the drive is totally dead, search for a missing list for a drive Bay, you know is filled.
