New (MK6025GAS) HARD drive not recognized by S2410-304 s

Hello

I recently bought a larger HARD drive for my Satellite 2410-304 s, a Toshiba MK6025GAS with 60 GB of memory. I formatted with another computer, and then I put in my notebook and started from the WinXP CD. But he did not find a HARD drive... :-/

Then I handed over my old HD and installed the new HD as an external drive (via Firewire). I had no problem using it, so I used Knoppix to copy my system partition to the new drive. Everything was fine, but when I swapped the drives, my computer could not find new HARD drive...

I tried several times, but he always said I should check the cable etc.

The latest BIOS is installed, then what else could be the problem? I am grateful for each index...

Hello

Interesting problem.
Do you have an error message when you try to start? Please put it back in the computer.

If you go into the BIOS, you see that there is a used HARD disk mode (normally, it should say Enhanced IDE I think).

If it looks good, can you start on some OS (CD or floppy) and use the utility for partitioning, it must focus on the disc? What it teaches you?

He finds the disc? Is how big this report? Correct or some size weird? If it shows a strange size then it is a problem of translation between the physical characteristics of the disk and BIOS and that could be problematic to solve. Some diskvendors have a special driver that will help you in situations like these. I'm not sure that this will solve your problem, but it's at least worth a try.

If you create a partition and format, it works as supposed?
Next step is to make it bootable and try to boot from it.

Good luck

Tom

  • Satellite A200-28R - new 500 GB HARD drive not recognized

    Hi all!

    The BIOS cannot recognize my new 500 GB SATA HARD drive. When I connect it to the laptop, BIOS says "No device" in the drive options. Tried jumper allows you to change the interface of disc HARD SATA-1, but without effect.
    How can I force the BIOS to recognize?

  • Tecra M9-185 - 750 GB HARD drive not recognized

    I have Tecra M9-185 (PTM91E-0G4045G3) with BIOS Version 1.90 dated the 29.02.2008.
    It came with HARD drive of 160 GB, which is quite old and needs replacement. I want to upgrade the HARD drive. I tried to use the 750 GB HARD drive, but it was not recognized by the BIOS.

    Is it possible to upgrade the HARD disk? Is there a limit to the ability of the new HARD disk that can be installed?

    Hello

    Of course, the HARD drive can be upgraded.
    The laptop supports the SATA controller. The SATA controller is not limited to a special HARD drive size of my knowledge. 750Go should be supported too. But it might be possible that the BIOS is not able to manage these dimensions.
    Try a different SATA HDD with the smaller size.

    But question: why you n t choose an SSD (250 GB)?
    I have improved my Tecra A10 with a 250 GB SSD and the performance gain is amazing. The machine is running much faster and quieter

  • Satellite M70: HARD drive not recognized external - various XP error messages

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite M70 and I have a Western Digital external hard drive.
    Initially, it worked great, I was able to put my large collection of music, etc. on it and run a computer off to save space on my integrated HD.

    But recently I had problems with XP not recognizing HD or be able to write in it. It appears in my computer, then disappear, often randomly when I write new files to it.
    I reformatted the hard drive to NTFS as it ran originally as FAT32.

    I updated my BIOS as well, but I'm out of ideas.

    Anyone else had similar problems with XP?

  • Tecra S3 on Linux: hard drive not recognized

    Hello

    I recently bought a laptop Toshiba Tecra S3 and I'm happy with it, except for one important thing: I can not install Linux on it.

    I tried with the latest versions of Fedora Core and Ubuntu, the hard drive seems to be detected, but it is not recognized at the time of installation. I guess it's a matter of (too) new chipset Serial ATA.

    You have any recommendations or do you intend to contribute to the kernel modules in Linux/order that this model could be installed on Linux?

    Also note that I remember that I had the same problem when I tried to install Windows XP from a CD (not the recovery cd): the hard drive has not been detected and the installation failed.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I can t believe that you can not install a Windows operating system.
    You formatait once again the HARD drive? I recommend to format the HARD drive completely, then install the operating system.
    In addition, if you want to use the Windows operating system, you must use the recovery CD because this image included all the necessary drivers.

    If you want to work with the Linux operating system, I recommend using the Knoppix distribution. In this case you n t need to install anything. This Linux you can start from the DVD or CD and it works as a Linux operating system normally

  • Re: Satellite L500 - HARD drive not recognized in BIOS

    Hi guys,.

    Yesterday, my mother-in-law has been using his computer and play some games. The computer froze and I had to force a shutdown. Upon restart, the computer continued to give the following message is displayed:
    PXE - E61: Media control failure, control cable (or something similar)

    I removed the HARD drive and replaced him, with no avail. I checked the BIOS, and the disc HARD is still not save in there, so not sure the hell happened.

    Anyone has any ideas on this? I'm looking at a new HARD drive otherwise.

    See you soon,.

    Nathan.

    Hey,.

    If the HARD drive is not recognized in the BIOS more I think that it s faulty and you need a new. This is the reason why you get up a PXE boot message initially.

    Is your laptop still under warranty? Then you can get a new HDD to an authorized service provider for free.
    Otherwise, you can buy yourself but it s not expensive. You can use each interface SATA 2.5 HARD drive.

  • 2nd hard drive not recognized

    I have maybe over my head.  I have a HP p6680t, Windows 7, with an original hard drive 1 TB Samsung.  I recently got a 2 TB WD harddrive and installed in the port 1 (original in port 0).   Everything turned on, successfully, loaded the driver automatically but found no new disk in 'computer '.  Intel 'Rapid Storage Technology' found the new HDD and asked if I wanted to use as RAID1 with success.   I said yes.  He said that having created successfully the image after 3 hours.  Today, however, I like to use not as the RAID, but as an additional drive.  How he recognized by Windows?

    Hello

    First thing to do is update the TSRI softwarefrom the Intel site. Then, use a third-party imaging product to take a full backup image of the Array volume.  The TSRI Intel allows to check that you have only one volume of table with two hard drives. Now use TSRI to reset to normal table.

  • Impossible to install Win 7 on Satellite C660 - 26H - HARD drive not recognized

    I reinstall windows 7 on a Satellite C660 - 26H
    The hard drive failed on this laptop, so I added a new Toshiba 160 GB sata drive.

    When I try to install windows 7 I get the error message

    "no device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok"

    I get this when I would normally be choose which windows installation disc too. I guess I need driver sata for the laptop?

    Where can I get the driver for this laptop sata?
    Or do I have driver sata for the new hard drive?

    Any help appreciated, thanks!

    Hello

    First check to see if the new HARD drive is listed and recognized in the BIOS. It must appear on the first page of the BIOS.

    If his list, and save the changes by pressing F10 and access to the BIOS.

    I'm not very well if you need the SATA drivers because AFAIK Win 7 should already contain a standard SATA driver from m.

    However, the SATA drivers are on Intel page.
    You should look for Intel Storage Manager.

  • Newly installed internal Second hard drive not recognized

    L1701X XPS laptop (running Win 10). Installed a second 500 GB WD hard drive that is not recognized in the BIOS. I've updated (flashed) BIOS to the A10 and I updated all drivers recommended by Dell Support.

    If I remove the new second player and hover over the first (original) hard drive to the second vacant slot it works very well and also appears in the BIOS - so it seems to me that there is no problem with the second player port.

    I tried everything I could find on the Net about it, for example, to check the connection of the second disc, but nothing done yet.

  • The upgrade of Inspiron 9300 Hard Drive not recognized

    I bought an upgrade of my Inspiron 9300 laptop hard drive:

    Old hard drive: TG754 Hard Drive, 60G, 9.5 MM, 7.2 K Hitachi, Moraga, unleaded

    New hard drive: 250 GB SATA 3 Gb s hard drive 16 MB 7200 RPM 2.5 IN. w o free fall Scorpio black

    TG754 Hard drive, 60G, 9.5 MM, Hitachi 7.2 K, Moraga, unleaded

    I don't know I installed it correct (just slide in and screw it) but my problem is that my laptop does not recognize the new drive.  When starting it complains that no hard drive is, and when I boot my Windows XP it also said that no hard drive is located.

    I followed the upgrade recommended Dell so I do not know why it does not work.  I read that the SATA drives require additional drivers, but I'm sure that my old drive was already a SATA drive, so I don't understand why he is not recognized.

    Help, please.  Thank you.

    The 9300 has been performed in two versions - the vast majority were EIDE.  The last execution of production used SATA.  Yours is EIDE.

    Readers are physically the same size and made the same carrier - but does not connect the SATA version to the motherboard (check the back both discs and you'll see why).

    The EIDE version has a limit of 120G BIOS - it means not that you can not use this drive of 160 G, but the results can be unpredictable, sudden loss of all data.  Keep backups if you try a 160 - it is much safer to use a 120G.

    No, a 5400 all else equal will be slower than a 7200 - but you don't have a choice, because all manufacturers have stopped making 7200 RPM EIDE (PATA) computer laptop some time ago.

  • Internal SATA II hard drive not recognized by Windows 7

  • IDE hard drive not recognized in bios Vostro 200

    My friend gave me his Vostro 200 when she bought a new computer. I took the 130 GB drive HARD from my old computer and installed with a mini vertical bridge Sabrent SBT-SCIDE and a Molex to SATA power adapter. When I booted the computer and check the Bios, it does not appear. I checked the connections, and they agree, then I hung up in the old computer to ensure that it still worked. No problems in the old computer and no errors when I ran the disk check. Re-installed in the Vostro, but still not recognized.

    Did I miss something as controllers or orders at the entrance?

    For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated... ed

    Most of the time these IDE SATA bridges do not work - you may need to try several of them until you find one that does - assuming one will indeed work.  The only reliable method to fix an old IDE drive to a new SATA system is to mount the drive in an external USB box.

  • Hard drives not recognized on Precision 650

    Hello

    I have a Dell Precision Workstation 650 2003 System. I have 4 hard drives of 250 GB on in more the 40 GB boot drive. Of data readers were on the secondary IDE channel, while the other two were on a PCI - IDE card.

    Recently, I decided to upgrade all drives in my system. For my boot drive, I have upgraded to a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST380215A HDD 80 GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA100. For my data drives, I went with 4 ST3750640A of Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 750 GB 7200 RPM Ultra ATA100 IDE drives.

    After having replaced the drives, I was able to install CentOS Linux 5.1 on the 80 GB boot drive. I also could see the 750 GB drives attached to the PCI - IDE card. However, the 750 GB drives connected to the secondary IDE channel are not recognized by the BIOS or the operating system.

    I tried the following command to get the discs to work:

    (i) update of the BIOS on the workstation to version A05. It is the latest version of the BIOS available from Dell for my system.

    (II) new IDE cables are used for the secondary IDE channel.

    (III) tried all four disks to see if any combination works.

    (IV) tried to put just a walk on the secondary channel.

    (v) tried "cable select" setting the jumpers on the drives.

    (VI) configuration of the riders ' master/slave' I tried on disks.

    (VII) tried other riders to Seagate where you put an extra jumper on two pins closest feeding on both drives.

    (VIII) tried erasing memory NVRAM using keystrokes - Alt + F, Alt + E, and then Alt + B. After reboot, the system performed the automatic IDE configuration, but couldn't detect the 750 GB drives.

    (IX) tried the IDE cable that I use for the PCI card, which is able to detect the discs correctly.

    (x) tried to connect the drives on the primary IDE channel.

    None of these things have worked. I don't want to go back to the 250 GB drives because I want more storage. Y at - it a trick of hardware/software/firmware that I missed? Is there a way I can use the 750 GB drives on my system?

    Thank you
