Presario c304nr does not recognize sata HP

I repartitioned & sata HD format several times for my presario c304nr, it will not recognize the HD so I can't loa WinXP.
Because the original HD is gone, there is no OS. Whay is the precedure support Windows XP in this laptop?

Well it is almost a lost art now, but you will need to load the SATA (ich7) driver during XP Setup using the F6 method. A usb floppy drive is useful or you can actually do a XP CD personalized with drivers 'slipstreamed' in the contents of the disc by using a program called nLite.

Google Intel SATA F6 drivers and nLite XP CD and you will find the info you need. Good luck.

  • Compaq presario sr5010nx does not recognize cpu

    Hi guys my dad have a really crappy computer (cannot run the half-life 1) and I want to give him my old (also shitty, but less) which I use no more. I bought a new processor, an intel Core 2 Duo E4300 1.80 GHz 2 M 800 MHz processor LGA775 Conroe, which is on the list of caught cpu supported by the motherboard (945GCT-HM (Livermore)) on the website of intel. When I changed the cpu, apply the thermal paste and it started
    I got "ERROR: unsupported processor installed.
    PC will turn off automatically in a few seconds "message and I wonder why it does not work. Is it possible that the CPU is broken? I bought on ebay so it would not be surprising. I also changed the power supply which fried for a 550W and added the new ram, 1 stick of 1 GB and a 2 GB.

    P.S. I asked on another Web site and all they told me is get a better machine, please do not. My father is really not great matches and I don't have the money for her ^^

    Hello @Charlesesteban,

    I understand that you are having problems with upgrading the processor on your desktop Compaq Presario SR5010NX. Well well, according to the HP Support document: upgrade or replacement of the processor you have followed the steps correctly. The TDP for the original and intel processor Core 2 Duo E4300 1.80 GHz 2 M 800 MHz LGA775 processor are the two 65w so this isn't a problem. I suspect that you're right in that the new processor is faulty.

    I hope this helps. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Pavilion a6544f does not recognize SATA hard drive

    I'm running Vista on this machine and added a second internal hard drive: a WD Caviar 1 TB GB. I connected the SATA cable to the SATA connector to blue color on the motherboard (Benicia-GL8E) and had to get a 4 pin to SATA power plug on the power cable.

    For some reason the drive does not appear in my computer. I double checked connections and seem not to be tight. I installed WD Data Lifeguard (supplied with the HD) and he can't seem to mfind player either.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    In fact, I solved the situation by updating the BIOS on the HP support site. I've updated everything I could - firmware and everything - wheile I was there, and then the disc was recognized. Problem solved! Thanks for the suggestions.

  • Desktop HP Pavilion a420n of does not recognize SATA hard drive

    Hello

    I installed a SATA hard drive as a second hard drive in my office in a420n Paviion and it is not recognized by the computer. I don't belong in the BIOS to enable the SATA drives, only IDE drives. (The main hard drive is IDE). I just upgraded to firmware BIOS Revision 3.08 (11/2004, which is the last on the HP website) and there is still no place to enable SATA only drives in the BIOS screen.

    Of course, the drive may not be detected in Windows XP either.

    I saw an ad on the web about SATA drives that need drivers to work with the a420n, but I don't know if it's true. A man speaks by pressing the F6 key while rebooting, so you can load the driver at the time, but by pressing F6 does nothing to interrupt the normal boot on my machine process.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    Bob

    p.s. I've tried 2 different, an older SATA drives and a brand new - same result

    If the BIOS does not info on the drive connected, then nothing else does.  It could be that this controller simply does not work.  On a Board that old, is probably not an effort worth trying a material difficulty.

    Using an external enclosure for the drive, it is probably the best bet.

  • My HP Presario f 700 laptop does not recognize my CD/DVD drive and will not burn or play CDs or DVD movies.

    My HP Presario f 700 laptop does not recognize my CD/DVD drive and will not burn or play CDs or DVD movies.

    I have a lightscribe, CD/DVD player, and I started having problems about a month ago... I tried to burn a lightsribe CD and my computer told me that I didn't have a CD Lightscribe drive (I!)... then when I just tried to burn the music on the CD, he didn't do it either... Finally a week ago, I tried to play a movie on my laptop, and that does not work either.

    When I insert in the film or the cd, the drive lights up and I can hear the work, but it is as if she has no connection with my laptop and my laptop is not picking up the CD/DVD drive try to play a movie or a cd.

    A friend suggested that I go to the HP website and am trying to download a driver, but I didn't know what to do once I got to this website, and I don't know if it will work.

    If you know how to solve this problem, or if you have had a similar problem with your computer, please help, thank you.

  • 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.

    Don't forget chang back when you put it in your drive home hard sata.

  • Windows XP Home edition does not recognize new HDD on the Qosmio G20

    I have a Qosmio G20/390LS bought a year ago, when I worked at the Japan, I tried to upgrade the hard drive with a new HD 100 GB Hitachi SATA but I faced a problem that XP does not recognize the HD.
    For your reference, the Bios sees the new HD, when I install the XP operating system I load the driver downloaded from the Toshiba Web site but no way RAID with F6... XP does not recognize the HD.

    Do you have any idea how to fix?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Computers portable Japanese are unknown to me, but if this laptop comes with two hard drives and RAID option do not forget the good option is set in the BIOS. Without the right BIOS setting you will not be able to install the OS.

    On Qosmio G30, I was able to install Vista when for two HDD HARD drive settings were 0-RAID-1. Check it please and let us know.

    Hello

    Maybe you did not use good SATA driver?  :| Who knows
    The point is that there are two different versions of Intel Matrix Storage Manager supports different chipsets.
    I put t know what chipset is in charge of your laptop but you should check this and must also check the description of the Intel Storage Manager and check what chipsets are supported.

    In addition, you should have a look here in this doc from Toshiba:

  • Qosmio F30 - 112 - Windows XP does not recognize the HARD drive

    Hello.

    I have a Qosmio F30-112.
    I tried to install the Windows XP Professional instead of the Media Center edition.
    However, during the execution of the installer, my laptop does not recognize the hard drive. Therefore, the installation cannot continue.

    I thought it might be a problem of corruption with my laptop and reinstalled Media Center Edition successfully.
    But when I try to install XP Professional it always gives me the same error.

    Suggestions for the configuration of the BIOS or solutions for why this is happening?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Just a question:
    You are looking for in this forum for other similar issues with regard to the installation of Win XP and lack HARD drive? I doubt

    The fact is that your notebook has a SATA controller and you need a SATA (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) driver.

  • Help! Aspire 5735 laptop with broken screen does not recognize external monitor after the factory restore

    I have an ACER Aspire 5735, running horrible Vista that never worked from the beginning, always locked up, media player never worked, on, on, and after about a year my dog took in the power cord and threw out of the table and the broken screen. I used it with an external monitor for a while, but it was even worse after that and after that he take to get fixed yet has proceeded to run super slow, always locked up, refused to stop or start upward normally, and so he sat in a closet for about 3 years.

    I took it out a week ago to see if I could at least use it for my kids to friends to play on, but that she still had so many questions, I decided to do a factory restore. And of course the recovery disks that I did when I got it do not work and are not yet recognized by the computer. So I went online and has used a method that I found there by rebooting and hitting the keys ALT F10 until I was at the factory reset option. It worked GREAT! Except once the computer has restarted and opened up to windows deleted monitor and I can't do anything with the computer because apparently it does not recognize that it is hooked to an external monitor on the restore to factory settings! Help!

    She does not recognize the monitor as it has been restarted and was even the windows start the display of the icon, but as soon as it loads the screen becomes black with just the graphics "monitor is on but not connected to what either" floating around.

    Is it possible to access something in the BACK or other so he could recognize the external monitor?  What is finally toast?

    Connect the external monitor to the laptop.

    Hold down the FN key and press the F4 key. Check if you get a display on the external monitor.

  • Aspire One d255 does not recognize the usb connected external ssd drive

    I want to replace the original HDD 160 GB with a 120 GB Samsung ssd 750 evo but bios and win 10 does not recognize the ssd drive as an external drive connected via a usb connection, so I couldn't create an image of my internal hard drive.  Is there a way to clone my hard drive SSD, so I can exchange the disc later?  I need to update the bios, install a missing driver, etc. ?

    I used two different connections: one is a 2.5 "SATA case disc that I used with a disk 2.5" HARD and works very well with the HARD drive and the other is SATA/IDE connector combination with cables for SATA and power and none of these works.  I read in another forum during my research that the Aspire One d255 doesn't recognize any external SSD connected through a USB either.  Since my netbook has no data, and I had just a pure 10 Windows installed on his drive HARD internal, I removed the 160 GB HARD drive and replaced by a 120 GB SSD and installed another Windows own 10.  It worked and my system boots now in less than 20 seconds.   We can close this thread now since I now have a faster machine fully function.  Thank you!

  • Used to boot Windows - does not recognize the hard drive

    Hello. I had my computer laptop vostro dell for 5 years, and I've never had a problem. A few weeks ago, I was starting, and I got the blue screen of death. I had the same thing when I rebooted. I bought a SATA dock for recover my files, so I could format it and start from scratch. However, the dock does not detect my HARD drive, although I hear the disc running. I tried to connect a Dell Latitude docking station to transfer the files, but the Latitude does not recognize my HDD ether. Vostro runs XP Home Edition and Zorin OS, Latitude anime XP Pro. HHD in question is a 120 GB Western Digital Scorpio for drinking devices. Help, please.

    You boot from the disk and choose "Try without Unbuntu and change to your computer"?. Honestly, it looks that you have installed. In addition, using raid with Windows Xp support?

    If you have chosen to 'Try' Unbuntu I recommend now you run chkdsk /r from the recovery console. The problem is not with the hard drive probably, but with the file system.

    Download WIndows Xp Recovery Console from HERE. Save the file to your desktop. You will need to burn the iso image to a blank cd using the same way you did to the image ISO of Unbuntu ImgBurn. Although the instructions below refer to a Windows disk, the disk from the Recovery Console that you create will do the same.

    1. Insert the Windows XP CD in your CD-ROM drive and restart your computer. If you are prompted, select any options needed to start (boot) on the CD.
      
    2. when the text portion of Setup begins, follow the prompts. Select the repair or recovery option by pressing R.
      
    3. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot system, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
      
    4. When you are prompted, type the administrator password. If you have not set a password for the account admin simply press on enter
      
    5. at the command prompt, type chkdsk/r > press ENTER. (Note: there is a space between the slash and the letter k).
      
    6. at the end of the output of scan type > press ENTER.
      
    7 restart your computer.
