• MacBook pro cannot detect ANY hard disk

  Greetings,

  I have a 13 macbook pro (mid-2012 a1278) inches and when he start shows the folder with the question mark. I think that bad hard drive, so I get a new drive, drop it in and then try to start a recovery from the internet.

  After connecting to the internet and download the recovery image, I load disk utility, and he does not see the new hard drive. Am I a bad disc, I wonder?

  So I drop the old drive in a hard disk enclosure and connect to an another macbook, and that is, I can see all the files. I put the new drive in the caddy and it can detect and partition/format the new drive.

  Thus, the macbook can not see any hard drive.

  This seems to be functional in the case, as I can load the internet recovery image and exploit all the basic functions (Restore disk, time machine, access to the network, keyboard and mouse, etc.)

  It will not just to see the hard drive.

  I've never had a hard disk controller macbook to go ahead without him taking the rest of the macbook with her. Am I missing something?

  Your MBP may very well have a bad hard drive cable.

• Satellite A - Windows Setup cannot find a HARD disk

  Hi all

  I have a laptop which is a Toshiba A-Series and a few days ago, I had a problem on my laptop.

  Then I decidec to format my laptop Toshiba using Windows XP CD then there arrived a few steps, it gives the following error message:

  Setup did not find hard disk drivers installed in your computer.

  Make sure that the hard disk drivers are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that no matter what disk - related hardware configuration is correct. It may be running a manufacturer - distribute diaagnostic installation program.

  The installation program cannot believe. To quit Setup, press F3.

  Could someone help me with this!

  Concerning

  Hello!

  Have you looked for a bit in the forum for this problem? You will find a large number of threads.

  However, you need the SATA drivers if you are installing your notebook computer with the Microsoft installation disc.
  I put t know what laptop do you have but for laptops equipped with Intel chipset, you need Intel Storage Manager.

  Download the drivers on the Web from Toshiba or Intel site, copy it to an external floppy drive and load it with F6 after booting from the CD.
  Or create you your own installation with nLite [www.nliteos.com] disc.

  Good bye

• 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.

• R50 may not detect any hard disk

  Hi guys,.

  Ive got a R50.

  Recived with no hard drive installed.

  Put a disk of 10 GB inside Ibm. Worked very well. Then my hard drive died. I tried to replace it with many readers and no detection in the unit. Toshiba-MK6014MAP was not detected. A seagate ST94019A. ALSO have an IBM Travelstar IC25N020ATCS04-0, which does not detect.

  I found but cannont find the R5X support each tested hard drive list. Can someone point me in the direction of this HDD compatibility list it would be great.

  See you soon

  My guess would be that readers are not inserted correctly or do not sit right in the caddy. It takes 1/10 mm for a player is not being recognized in the BIOS.

  I have owned dozens of units R5x and will specify that there is no such thing as 'an incompatible reader' on any R50/p/e or R51. R52s get the "2010" error, but the drive is still recognized and operational.

  I hope this helps.

• Install XP: Setup did not find any hard disk installed

  I have this old computer. When I try to install Windows Xp, it says that Setup did not find any hard disk. I have readers of diskette and cd on the computer. A source told me that I need a SATA RAID driver until I do.

  Windows XP
  AMIBIOS
  MSI

  Correct, you will need to download the appropriate TXTmode drivers and put them on a floppy disk. If you have a MSI motherboard in your system, you will get these drivers from MSI.

  It would be also possible to get Windows to load with a change in your BIOS settings, but I recommend that get you the correct drivers.

• Windows detected a hard disk problem after factory reset?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5320, not old at all. I tried to download a game and then got the BSOD. I had to reset my PC, lost what I had, but ended up from scratch. Now, every so often, I get a message saying "Windows detected a hard disk problem. Back up your files immediately to prevent the loss of information... ». I have right click the disk hard "defective" for the error checking, no errors found. I tried HD Tune Pro, and tells me 'Warning' for the State of health (05) reallocated sector count (failure) is red, and number of events (C4) reallocated (warning) is yellow. Does this mean I have to replace the hard drive? The computer was working completely fine until BSOD. Now it works and everything but I get this error message. The laptop is not only really old and never any injuries, but perhaps past warranty. I really have nothing left to save, because I lost everything when I have to reset it to factory State. Any advice?

  It's really up to you.  Sometimes there may be false positives, but it looks like your drive is really having some problems.  It was even the cause of the BSOD, who knows.

  You can follow the steps of my colleague here to check your drive for errors:
  http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/6221-chkdsk-check-drive-errors-Windows-8-a.html

  But really, I would take the advice and replace the drive.  Or at least be prepared for this 'die', then save your files somewhere else like OneDrive or something so you don't lose important information when it does.

• Satellite L650 - Windows detected a hard disk problem

  I have 9 as 4 months old satellite L650 that this microsoft Windows message keeps popping up. "Windows detected a hard disk problem, back up your files immediately to prevent the loss of information... etc" have I not a bum hard drive or is it a mistake?
  I have
  have the media discs to recover and this means that I have to reformat the HARD drive and try again. !

  Hi watthhel,

  I think the error message must be correct to Windows 7 and you must do what tells you the message: immediately back up your data and replace the HARD drive with a new one. In your case I would never save important files on the HARD drive. Too risky to lose important files

  Your laptop is 4 months old and that would mean it s covered by the warranty. Contact your local authorized service provider and ask for a replacement drive. They will exchange it and the service is free. :)

• On the Satellite C - Windows HARD disk failure has detected a HARD disk problem

  Since 2 days have been making repeated dialog "Windows detected a hard disk problem", warning of potential failures of the disc so back up, what I did. Disk in question is a Toshiba MK-5065GSXN.

  As a non-tech user, my instinct is that a new laptop is a better choice than to call Toshiba support for a laptop warranty (2 years) out of.

  On the other hand there may be a simple software fix. The opinion or advice welcome

  Hello

  The message says that something is wrong with the HARD drive.
  It might be possible that your HARD drive will die sooner or later so his need to backup data on another HARD drive, disk or flash memory.

  Finally, I must say you n don't need to buy a new laptop just because your HARD drive starts to hurt work in such cases purchase a new HARD drive and replace it
  HARD drive is not very expensive and the replacement of the HARD disk is very easy in your user manual

  PS: what model of laptop you have exactly?

• Why my computer says "Windows has detected a hard disk problem", even though it says that the drive works fine in the properties?

  Hello

  I was doing some courses on my computer until this window came on my screen and playback;
  "Windows detected a hard disk problem. I immediately went and checked in the properties to see the current status of the disk, and it says "this device is working properly" I am confused and decided to restart my computer. Again, read the error message and it says that the disc was allowed in properties. Every 15 minutes or so, the same error message. I'm running on Windows Vista Edition Home Premium and have had the computer since 2008. Is this a virus? Or - is this just the computer falsely detect a problem?
  Can anyone help please?

  Thank you very much

  What you see in the drive properties in Device Manager has to do with drivers and the drive configuration, not the real state 'physical' the reader.

  First of all, I error side of caution and if sure you have a backup of all your personal files, data, music, photos, contacts, movies, etc., external media (favorite external hard drive).

  Run the check disk (chkdsk); I suggest to run with two checked options, difficulty of file system errors and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

  How to run the check disk at startup in Vista or Windows 7

  Many manufacturers of computers and most hard disk manufacturers have diagnostic tools free you can download and run to check the status of your drive. Check on the web sites of their respective support.
