• Satellite U300 - Windows XP does not see HARD drive

  Hello

  I've updated the BIOS with the latest version, I've built a floppy with the SATA drivers, none of them work, XP Setup is not able to recognize the HD.

  Surprisingly enough the BIOS SATA mode option can not be seen.

  Any idea?

  Kind regards
  Lionel.

  Hello

  Not all BIOS contains the SATA option!
  In your case, I recommend the construction of a new CD of Windows XP by using the nLite.
  nLite is a free tool and allows you to include the SATA dirvers in the Win XP CD!

  Then you can use the new XP disk to start and new installation of the OS

  Search here in the forum! There is enough discussion on this procedure

• Satellite Pro M70 does not see HARD drive sometimes

  Help me!

  My computer does not see my hard drive but see Installer and another computer.
  My hard drive is working and I put the new drive hard but computer does not see.
  And when I install XP on the computer I can see HDD format during the installation.
  And when prawns my computer I do not see the HARD disk again.

  Help me please

  Hello

  I think that it s a HDD issue naturally it s really strange that the HARD drive is different sometimes and sometimes it s is not visible, but I doubt that it could be software related issue. That's why I think that it s a drive HARD and in my opinion, you should check if other HDD SATA runs correctly.

  Good bye

• Satellite 1415 does not see HARD drive

  I just finished my old 30g HD to a 160g via a cable usb/ide on my Satellite 1415 cloning/adaptation.

  I've used Norton Ghost who said using the copy MBR 'not' option, I have to format the new drive. It took me over six hours to do due to overheating closed the first period which forced me to do it again.

  Now with the new full disk, I installed in the machine and starts, received a message "NTLDR is missing" on the first try. After going in (WinXP) disk management I noticed that the new drive was now three scores, two the same size that the old hard drive and the last not allocated. I looked at the files in the first partition and found that I do not need so I deleted the files and the partition. The remaining active partition has all the Po files, that I need so I have it assigned a drive letter.

  Now to start with the new drive I get missing operating system message. I ve changed the boot order and linked to the boot the ghost CD but had no luck with either. Of course the machine does not see the disk, so my question is how I can get to see the new drive letter to start when it seems now that for a C:\ drive?

  The only option I see in the BIOS is boot order change. Thank you

  Hello

  To better understand:
  The ability of the entire HARD drive is recognized properly?

  To be honest, the whole story is a bit confusing for me. I use Norton Ghost with WXP too and I know that you can create your own recovery image and burn on CD or DVD. This medium, that you can use to install an operating system.

  You can also save files to recovery on the second partition and then copy to external HARD disk.

  With the new HARD drive using Microsoft facilities CD and install WXP. Create own partitions on the new HARD drive and all ghost copies files to the second partition (new HARD drive). You may not install all driver and tools but install Ghost on this OS fresh and naked. Start the ghost and Recover My Computer option. So, after 20 minutes, you'll WXP as on the old HARD drive.

  I did it with my old Tecra.

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

  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.

• Portege M400 - Windows XP cannot find the hard drive

  Hello

  Ive got a Portege M400 who im looking to get a new one, I never had the Tablet XP CD so im trying to install using an XP Pro disk, but whenever I get no hard drive can be detected and I tried another disc of publishing house also.

  Ive looked for SCSI / SATA drivers but can only find RAID drivers which are not good for me.

  I hope someone can help me

  Thank you

  Hi wacksonjackson,

  Why these RAID drivers are not good for you? Windows XP requires RAID drivers if your laptop is RAID controller and there is no other choice to install XP from a normal Windows XP disc. Then download the RAID drivers on the official website of Toshiba. Either you create a new installation with the RAID drivers disc using nLite freeware tool or you copy the drivers on an external USB FDD and load them during the installation of XP.

  Also check similar topics here in the forum. You will find hundreds of similar topics on SATA and RAID drivers.

• Windows 7 does not see SATA drive

  I just upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 and now cannot access the SATA drive that I use for storage. I desperately need help to access this drive.

  Any help will be appreciated.

  I've seen suggestions on the use of upgrade instead of the custom installation, but upgrade XP to 7 is not available.

  It doesn't matter anymore that I managed to blow a capacitor on the motherboard and had to replace the guts of the machine. The new motherboard had no problem see the SATA drive. Of course, he can't see that the IDE drives so I traded one problem for another.

  With all this, I made a whole new computer, which I'm sure that will soon show it's own set of problems.

  Thanks for the help. And you can mark this resolved.

• Windows 8 does not see the hard drive on the Satellite A200

  Windows 8 does not see the hard drive on the A200.
  How to install it?

  S strange Windows 8 should already contain the HARD drive controller driver to recognize the HARD drive during installation.
  The HARD drive is visible in the BIOS?

  Do you use the original disc from Microsoft of Windows 8?

• After you install a second WD 1 TB my book drive, Windows Explorer does not see the new drive.

  Original title: Signature Collision?

  I'm having hard to the installation of a second external drive. I use Windows 7 Ultimate RC. There was a WD 1 TB drive My Book already installed - healthy and works very well. The problem occurred after installing a second WD 1 TB my book reader. I followed all the instructions, pluuging the drive to a USB hub. Windows found the disk, installed drivers and reported the new drive ready for use.

  Windows Explorer does not see the new drive. Devices and printers shows 2 external drives from WD. Disk Management shows as 2 drives, but the second disk is offline because of a 'Signature' Collision

  Each player works very well if it's the only drive plugged in. "Eject My Book" does not work because a program (or more) are to use the player in the background (Windows or Norton).

  I installed the latest firmware and I'm still having this problem. I've been emailing WD with this problem and they are running out of ideas.

  Can anyone help?
  Thank you

  Hello Comatose13,

  There is an old article of KB in Windows XP that has been recently updated with additional measures to solve this kind of problem. The KB covers Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 with step by step methods. See if that helps.

• Portege M400: screen saver does not work

  Hi all

  like many of you, I think, I need the screen saver protected by start-up automatically when I let my M400 unattended for some time.
  Everything works fine if the bluetooth is introduced to the wide. Otherwise... the screen saver does not start automatically.

  Site Microsoft learns something about the problems related to (Microsoft mouse) wireless devices that do not allow the screen saver appears.
  The proposed solution is to kill a process called PCMsomething, or download an update windows named KBsomething and install it.

  I actually a bluetooth wireless (non-Microsoft) combined with my PC mouse, but no PCMsomething process is executed and, although my mouse is turned off, the screen saver organizers can't work until I turned off the bluetooth of the M400 too. In addition, windows update does not suggest a KBsomething patch to install (maybe because my mouse is not a Microsoft one?).

  Any idea to solve my problem?
  Thanks in advance.

  > when I let my M400 unattended for some time.
  For this application, Toshiba has designed the FN + F1 feature to lock your laptop.
  When you want to leave your laptop using FN + F1 and lock it.

  It is a lot easier than this solution with screen saver.

• Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) Windows Vista does not see the DVD - ram UJ-850 s

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) with windows Vista. Windows Vista does not recognize the DVD - ram. BIOS recognize DVD-ram. I tried to download the drivers for the DVD-ram, but they are not on the side of Toshiba.

  Who can help me to get the right driver or learn more? Problems with the carpet * a DVD-ram uj-850 s ATA device and windows Vista.

  Hello

  The CD/DVD drive needs no special drivers!
  Vista includes a Microsoft driver that works with all CURIOUS s (CD/DVD drives)

  Simply said, the Vista should recognize the drive without any problems.

  A few questions; did you get any error messages? What is the status of Device Manager? Do you see yellow exclamation points?

  There is an old way to correct a similar drive problem. It worked on XP then try it on Vista OS.
  It of necessary to update the registry entry
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  1. click on the start menu.
  2. If it is a Vista machine in the search box type regedit without quotes.
  3. look for the registry key mentioned above.
  4. in the right panel you'll see something along the lines of UpperFilter and UpperFilter you want to click on each key filter and tap on delete. Click Yes when asked to confirm if you want to delete the key.
  5. restart Windows.
  6 let me know if it works.

• Scanjet5370C Windows 7 Pro does not see the driver!

  I try to add the scanner Scanjet5370C of my windows XP computer to my new Windows 7 Professional. I downloaded the software from the HP site and restarted the computer. It says device has no driver. I pilot Nations United installed tried to reinstall still not see it. Anyone have an idea what is wrong here?

  Windows Update has not even the driver for this scanner.

  Help!

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Marcus25,

  Sorry to inform you, the Scanjet 5370c is not supported on Windows 7:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03403550

  The driver listed on the HP site is intended for a different model (Scanjet 5590) and seems to be wrongly pposted for your scanner.

  I reported this problem to get this fixed...

  Altthough it is not officially supported, try the of VueScan 3rd party application which seems to support your scanner wthout you had to install the drivers on the computer:
