• Satellite L305D-S5881 does not recognize the new HARD drive

  Ok. I've had this laptop for a while now.
  It crashed recently. So, I tried to start it up.
  I got "Winload.exe missing or damaged".

  Fortunately, I found an answer to this!
  I got the Vista installation disc and inserted.
  I had this "PAGE_ERROR_IN_NONPAGED_AREA". I fixed too. Stick of 1 GB of RAM to my computer was bad.

  So I replaced it. And during the installation, it hangs. And beeps and undesirable.
  So I thought it was my hard drive. I have a new. (http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/adet.to?poid=431567 please TAKE a LOOK BEFORE RESPONDING).

  I (try) to install and it does nothing.
  I turn it on and it goes to this page with as my enthernet info. Then I go into the BIOS and it appears. I think I could install it wrong.

  Any help?

  Hello

  I think that the new HARD drive is not recognized, because you have not installed the SATA drivers!
  The new mobile phones support the new SATA controller and especially the drivers are not included in the Windows operating system.

  So, you must first include the SATA drivers before install you the operating system.
  AFAIK the L305D supports an AMD and ATI chipset and SATA drivers must be placed in the ATI graphics driver package.

  On the other hand, you could install the operating system without the use of SATA drivers.
  I think that the BIOS must contain the SATA mode option. Usually it s set to AHCI. Pass this option in compatibility mode and you should be able to install the operating system.

• can not get the new hard drive to work in the Pavilion ze4805us laptop

  have an HP pavilion ze4805us laptop which had a total hard drive failure... recovery disks were lost in a fire... replaced the hard drive with a Western Digital 250 GB drive... computer recognizes the drive, but with only 137 GB... impossible to obtain the Windows Millennium disk to install... I have it get the PXE - E61 error code... have looked for answers and tried a few suggestions to fix the error code, but no luck so far... would like to throw this laptop and runs again, it was so nice all in operation. Can someone help me with this? Thanks to all in advance... rrcar6

  At the level of the BIOS, HARD drive should show the full capacity regardless of the distribution, but it will be limited based on what the current logical block installed the BIOS supports.  For example, the 250 GB HDD Needs LBA 48 bit to be recognized by the BIOS in its entirety.  Western Digital only provides downloads of software and support going back to Windows XP.  Windows Millennium Edition is not able to recognize the full capacity of the drive.  Finding drivers compatible with Windows ME is perhaps another challenge that XP uses a different architecture than Windows ME done.

  It seems that this laptop is the same time that the books mentioned in this thread.  Response from JackShack gives the best explanation as to why he shows quite different in the BIOS.  It has been many years, but I do not remember that the capacity of the HARD disk had exceeded what the BIOS at the time supported resulting in the 137 GB limit displayed in the BIOS.  This section of Western Digital shows that this problem is related to the operating system or BIOS supporting however, this should not prevent Windows to install correctly.

  I'm sure it's already done, as it was not a new BIOS since 2004, but guarantee the newest BIOS is installed.  Logical block address 48 bits, necessary for the larger disks (larger for the time) was released in 2003.  The 2004 related BIOS earlier than probably took supported LBA.  What is the current version of BIOS?

  What is the exact message that you get when you try to install Windows Millennium Edition?

• Satellite A200-1TS - Win XP does not recognize the new HARD drive

  Dear Forum,

  My HD crashed, I installed a new, but XP will not recognize.
  I created a new partition with Partition wizard home edition, and with a Mini XP bootable CD I can access Hd, reading and writing, but if I try to install XP from the CD of origin of the system does not have a usable hard drive.
  Any part of the material blocking this new HD? How can I install windows XP on a hard disk new?

  Thanks in advance for your help

  Can you please tell us what model of laptop do you have?
  Maybe you need to load the SATA driver?

• Spectrum XT Touchsmart 15-1410n: does not detect the new hard drive

  After the upgrade to Windows 10 my hard drive divided into 9 different partitions, and most of them have been corrupted and I couldn't save it. I bought a new hard drive (HGST Travelstar 7K 1000) and replaced my old drive. I used a USB stick to boot and install Ubuntu 14.04 detected but only a 32GB Samsung drive and not my HGST 1 TB drive. How can I fix it? I would like to be able to access my new drive. Google says to mess with the SATA controller, but I can't do it in my BIOS. Any suggestions?

  You are not it is hidden. In my view, that Magical Jelly Bean can pull the Code out of the BIOS license once Windows is installed, but if you reinstall the same OS (Windows 8, correct version) it will be ignited automatically the first time that you connect to the internet.

• Windows 7 does not recognize the new hard drive during installation

  My Pavilion hard drive died.  I ordered a new identical and it arises.  Windows 7 starts to load (since a key USB as my DVD died a long time ago) and gets it Windows on the screen asking me to select a player.  But there is no choice to drive in the menu and I can't go any further.  Is the new drive dead too?  Someone suggested that I need to reinstall a 'chip game' and if that's the problem, how to do that?  Thank you!!

  I'm glad that the hard drive is seen now.  To the extent where the DVD player, if you have purchased a new DVD player for the laptop, and you have it installed, then there is something else involved here.  In this MANUAL, it seems that it is just a simple operation change out.  Must be another reason it does not work or is recognized in the BIOS.

• Satellite 2805-S603 does not recognize the new HARD drive

  The old HDD that laptop died a horrible, another bougth - HM040HC (PATA) of Samsung, but the HARD drive is not set! What?
  Too recent for 2805 controller?
  Which one i should buy, he worked normally?

  PS: Sorry for the bad English-_-

  Seems that you have purchased a HARD drive badly and is not compatible!
  I discovered that IE Toshiba MK3017GAP HARD drive is compatible with your laptop.
  This HARD disk supports an ATA-5 interface and about 30GB.

  If you want to be sure that the HARD drive works in your laptop 100% please contact the service provider authorized in your country and order the HARD drive support.

• Pavilion g6 2301AX: System Restore doesn't work is not on the new HARD drive

  My factory installed HGST HDD is not short DST check, so I bought new internal HDD of WD5000LPCX. I did the recovery DVD windows 8 long ago and tested several times.

  The problem, I do face is, after I ran the system recovery (insert all 5 DVD then restarts Recovery Manager), I get the error "No found bootable media" when the legacy support is disbled. On activation of legacy support, begins the phase of installation of driver, but after a while, my laptop is stuck in a reboot loop. I left it for half an hour but he kept just reboot.

  Guarantee of the laptop is long gone. New installation of Windows 7 has worked well, showing everything goes well with the material, but I want my Windows 8. Help.

  He resolved myself: had to convert the GPT MBR partitioning system.

  As this community seems inactive, I'll post like how to convert to GPT:

  NOTE: You will need any installation of Windows DVD for this. I used Windows 7 DVD.

  1. first activate the legacy from BIOS support. (Press F10 to enter the BIOS settings)

  2. Insert the Windows installation DVD, and then press F9 to change startup options. Boot from the CD/DVD drive.

  3. once the loads of installation, select the "Repair Windows" option, located at the lower left corner.

  4. find the command prompt and run these commands:

  DISKPART

  LIST DISK

  SELECT DISK 0

  CLEAN

  CONVERT A GPT

  OUTPUT

  5 reset. Disable the legacy from BIOS support. Now the recovery system will work without any problem.

• Tecra 8000 does not recognize the new HARD drive

  I read on this forum and Google search, but nothing helped.

  I think the disk on Tecra 8000 (Pentium II, 266 Mhz) is "dead".
  I tried to replace it with another laptop to see if that would work.

  The laptop does not, even if I put just like the original.
  Y at - it somehow special or what I have to change something in the Bios?

  Hello

  Don t need to change BIOS settings

  As long as you use the compatible HARD disk, the BIOS should recognize the HARD drive automatically without big problems
  What drive did you use? What size, interface, etc.

  The Tecra 8000 is an oldie and I think that you could use only the 4 GB; 6 GB; 9 GB; 10 GB; 14GB IDE hard drives.

  More large hard disks would be not recognized by the BIOS.

• Windows Setup could not configure Windows on hardware of this computer Installation error on the new hard drive

  Okay so if please bear with me and be patient.  I'm not tech savvy.  I know enough to be able to remove an old hard drive and put another one, but when there are errors, I don't know what to do.

  Here's the situation.

  I have a Dell Studio XPS with Windows 7 installed.  I started having these notifications that my hard drive could be a failure.  I tried everything that I could find to fix it without having to buy a new HARD drive without success.  The current system has a 1 TB Seagate hard drive.  I installed a memory additional bar thingie right after that I got the computer about 4 years ago.  (If someone tells me how to find the properties of real system, I post them if necessary).  Anyway, I bought a new WD 1 TB black disk hard to install before my old dies and loses all my photos and documents, etc...

  I took the old drive yesterday and installed the new hard drive.  I put back the case and turned on the machine.  I put in my Windows 7 installation disc.  He began installing Windows 7... It's completely past the initial screen where it says it to load it and the other... I had accepted the license agreement, but did not have to make a profile and do the work and the reader.  I hope all this makes sense.  Then it pops up this message "installing Windows could not set up Windows on hardware on this computer."  I couldn't figure out what to do from there.  I got the new drive and put the old one back to and here I am. I tried to find solutions to this problem, but I either don't can't make heads or tails out of the responses on the internet or the solution is not exactly my problem.

  Please help if you can!  And if you have any suggestions, please dumb them down so I can understand what to do.  I CAN do if loaded, you just have to not talk too irritable.  Laughing out loud

  Thank you in advance!

  Maybe not...

  The Windows installation is not happy about something, and since it gets at least started which is a good thing, but your installation problem can not really be with Windows - perhaps something about Dell hardware or your 1 TB HARD drive.

  I looked at your system and found this article that you can read to see if it sounds like your original question:

  Windows Setup could not configure Windows on hardware on this computer.

  http://www.Dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/SLN293812/en

  Since Dell has written an article for help on this subject, it means they've met enough times to take the time to compose the article and put it on their WWW site (but, they say, it is a possible resolution).

  Could you take the issue in the Dell online community where experts hang out (especially your amber light).

  Another good place for support is www.bleepingcomputer.com where there is a similar topic as your question (except Vista) on a Dell and a new disk of 1 TB (also a Seagate) and Dell ideas did not work, but someone else has found a way to fix it:

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/453378/installation-fails-to-complete-on-new-HDD/

  The bleepingcomputer for your error message search reveals other areas and people who have got things to work in different ways, then it is perhaps another place to look for ideas.

  If the installation still fails it would not hurt to do the BIOS setting and see if things are getting longer, and since you are going to write the current settings before proceeding with the adjustment you can always cancel the adjustment if things get worse.

• 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

• Correct installation of the new hard drive for Windows 7

  Have a disk hard fatal crash with Dell OEM Windows 7on, so I bought a new hard drive compatible system and have my old system Win 7/recovery of data on a memory stick. It's been years that last I formatted, partitioned and installed an operating system on a new hard drive and I totally forgot how it's done. Vaguely remember some DOS commands were required to work out of BIOS (?). Can anyone list the individual measures to be taken, assuming that the hard drive is physically installed and turned on? It would be a great help!

  Unless this stick memory has on her installation files as well, you cannot reinstall win7 on the new hard drive

  You will need the DVD / or the ISO of Win7.

  ]

  And no you do not need BACK. Just the dvd or ISO / to boot from. Then you can format / partition in the configuration screen

• DV9810us not to recognize the new HARD drive?

  Hello

  I tried recently update my HARD since the 160 GB drive it is initially supplied with due to disk failure. I installed the new HARD drive (a 160 GB, 1.5 GB/S 5400 RPM WD Scorpio Blue) and when I go to start the computer, it will display the HP logo and options before going off after less than 5 seconds. It restarts then 3 more times, before loading any bootable media that I inserted. Right now, I have an external HARD drive that I am running Ubuntu off the coast of so I can at least use the computer at the moment.

  At the BIOS screen, I'm going under Drive Diagnostics and it says IDE Device not found. I find this strange being the wrong drive I took out the laptop SATA. I inserted my Vista Ultimatex64 7 disc and when he asks an installation location, it says not found hard drives.

  The new drive is not dead either, I have hooked up to my desktop via a port SATA extra and is easily recognizable.

  You use the same drive connector in a cage and at the end of the old drive?  I saw where a new drive connector seems to be the same, but they do not work.
