• Satellite M30x - new HARD drive does not work

  Hello.

  I am installing a new ATA 2.5 "internal hard drive for my Toshiba M30X-166. The drive is a Seagate Momentus 5400.3 120 GB model. The laptop does not recognize the disc and no related error message appears, and in the BIOS, it shows as "HD not available."

  I put this drive in an external USB - IDE enclosure and was detected by my desktop PC, and I was able to partition and format the Momentus, so I know the drive is indeed work, but my M30X still does not detect the drive.

  What can I do to make the laptop recognize this unit? The BIOS M30X is: Phoenix EAL20 version 1.90.

  Thanks for your help.

  Hello!

  Have you tried another HARD drive? The new HARD drive is may not compatible with the laptop or does work does not correctly.

  Normally, a 120 GB HARD drive should work because the laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits and so you can only use hard drives 120 GB.
  In the worst cases, the HARD disk on the motherboard controller is defective :(

  Good bye

• Qosmio G20 - new HARD drive is not detected

  Hello.

  While the installation of new disks in the RAID configured laptop; one of the active disks, the second - has failed.
  Switch the mode RAID array does not. What could be the problem?

  2 X HARD DRIVE 160 GB

  The problem may be the information of RAID, and it is obviously absent on the second HARD drive. I'm not an expert on such things, but if possible I recommend you back up all your important data from the first HARD drive and install the OS by using supplied recovery media.

  After having done that, you should be able to use two hard drives with no problems.

• Satellite M30X-165: new HARD drive does not work

  Hi, I want to replace the old hard drive, HITACHI 80 GB in my Satellite M30X 165. I bought SEAGATE Momentus 5400.3 120GB but it seems that it may not be recognized by the BIOS. Anyone know what to do or what types of discs can be used in this notebook? Thanks for help.

  Hello

  Sometimes a bios update has solved many issues about installing new hardware.

  BUT Please note: the Bios has a limitation of size of HARD drive support. Not all sizes are supported. I guess that the 120 GB are too big and therefore you can not use it!

  You must switch to a smaller size. Check with a 80 or 100 GB HARD drive

  See you soon

  Here are a few articles with possible solutions and its fix for the hard drive problems.  Maybe at least will help any problems you encounter.  I could have provided more targeted recommendations if you had provided more information about what the problem is exactly, when he started, the manufacturer, make and model of drive, how the player does not work - is that it recognized by the system, it appears in Windows Explorerr, the door opens when you press the button...  If the following text does not, provide this and more information about the problem and your configuration maybe we can provide additional assistance.

  PS im not the tool sharper in the hangar when it come to tech stuff.

  The same problem. I bought edition 2015 last fall. It has a power supply problem (electrical problems). I thought it's because of my laptop. He made her crazy, but SMART was ok. Yesterday, it makes noises again and now it does not work. I saw light blue and only a little sound of pcb as start start. I saw that head of player on the Board.
  It's really a defection from the factory.

• External USB 3.0 HARD drive does not work on USB 3.0 port

  Hello guys,.

  I have a problem with my external HARD drive and the problem is that it is USB 3.0 feature does not work in my computer.

  The curious thing is that it works very well in the SATA port or a normal USB 2.0 port.

  Y at - it a failure with the HARD drive or is there something wrong with my motherboard (M5A99 fx pro r2.0)?

  Thanks in advance.

  From my point of view of the few is not HARD drive problem because the HARD drive operates in a USB 2.0 port.

  I m wondering if you tried to update the USB 3.0 driver.
  Have you tried this HARD disk in another computer / USB 3.0 ports?
  I think that its worth a check.

  Also, I read on some problems of USB 3.0 controller from different manufacturers.
  Sometimes, it might be possible that some problems of compatibility between different devices may arise.

• New hard drive does not appear in the disk utility

  I am installing a new hard drive in my late 2011 13 "MacBook Pro. I started using apple's online retrieval system and went to disk utility. I tried to format the drive, but he is stuck saying "remove disc" for about a half hour, and then I had a rotation beach ball and could not move the cursor. I restarted the computer and now the drive does not appear in the disk utility. Any help is appreciated as I have no idea where to go from here.

  Thank you.

  You will may be turned off and check that your hard drive is correctly positioned with all the screws tight.

• External hard drive does not work properly

  Hi all

  It is a slightly different external HARD drive problem.  I had my faithful media ATMT bin since my first laptop with XP (2003) and I bought it in 2005.  It's a little wobbly as the fan vibrates a lot, but this isn't a problem.  What is the problem, is that I have a windows machine 7 who thinks that drive a need to put in shape, but my previous laptop which has vista on it was absolutely no problem to read the files IN ALL and you can open one of them without a hitch.  I tried to run CHKDSK I:\I (it is labeled as the I drive :) and 7 claims that it is in the format RAW.  I had a look at CHKDSK on my old machine and it is in FAT32, I since changed it to NTFS, but seems to have no effect.  I also tried the hunting of the drivers for the external hard drive, but I come only through links to Amazon as these things are always available.

  I really need to access this drive on my current computer as the older one needs a considerable cooling method to make it work therefore the latest machine.  What I also don't understand, it's that it was working absolutely fine on this machine too until quite recently.  He worked on it that I need, but have not been accessed for a while and so solutions in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you very much for your time.

  Your drive has reached its copy by date and it works on time taken (if he is stil)

  If this does not work on another PC then it's probably dead.

  You can try the utility disk SeaTools from Seagate to check and see if it can detect and report on the drive

• Qosmio G20 - its Media Center does not work properly

  I do not often use the TV tuner, but when I went to save a program of the week last I found that I was getting loud hissing and sound distortion. Although I could play back a few straight recorded music.

  I ran the TV Tuner, settings and which seemed to cure her.

  I wanted to watch this program and I found that I was getting the loud hiss once again and when I run the program saved it seems to run fast. But now recorded music also does not work.

  I ran settings again but no difference this time.

  I open the Volume control window

  Adjust balance on volume control and hissing on the channel left and music distorted on right channel - running pitch fast and high.
  When the track ends then the hissing sound stop

  If I set the controls of the wave
  Keeping your balance no effect now, whistling on the left and right
  Adjust the volume affects track music, but no effect on the whistle until right down when he cut the sound it
  MUTE button mute puts the two

  Registering the program is OK if played using Windows Media Player.

  Any suggestions as to what could be bad?

  PC running Windows Media Center Edition

  Windows all sounds have been affected, that is when I ran some of the Windows Panel I just got a burst of noise. As soon as I closed the library was back to normal

  Hello

  I m not 100% sure if I understand the problem correctly, but it seems that the problems of sound appears only when you use and play audio files with Windows Media Center.
  The sound is ok, when you play Windows Media Player. Am I wrong?

  Hmm maybe, there is a registry or application malfunction.
  Try to update the TV tuner driver and audio driver.

  You can remove the sound card in the Device Manager and after reboot, install the latest version of the sound driver.

• New hard drive does not start

  I have a T61 with XP on it. The factory hard drive was beginning to show its age, so I got a 500GB WD Black drive for her. I used Acronis True Image to clone the old hard drive to the new. I used my counter top to do the cloning. When I plug the new disk in, the cursor just blinks and it will not start.

  I thought that maybe the clone was bad, so I put the new drive hard back at the top of my desk and is able to boot all the way to the windows start screen. If I plug the old drive in the laptop, it starts very well, simply refuses to boot from the new drive.

  Guessed it.

  Put the new hard drive into the computer, put the old hard drive in a USB enclosure and done a CD boot Acronis, and made the clone of the laptop. Runs like a champ and now flies.

• Canvio Plus 2.5 "1 TB external HARD drive does not work with USB 3.0

  I've had this drive for about a month.

  I am on Windows 7

  I can only operate by connecting to USB 2.0 ports. It is then visible in 'My Computer'.

  If I connect to USB 3.0, it turns on the case but does not appear in 'My Computer'.

  I tried it on all my USB ports 3.0 - up on one and two in the back of my case.

  I checked my BIOS and USB 3.0 is enabled.

  I tried to follow the suggestions in the user manual, but the drive does not appear in the management of so connected devices on USB 3.0, but it does when connected in USB 2.0.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  As much as I know the Windows 7 system requires installation of additional USB 3.0 driver.

  Many laptops and computers use USB 3.0 driver that was released by Intel... it is because of Intel chipset...

  I guess that USB 3.0 is already installed, but probably you need to update the driver at least to the newest version...

• G62: New hard drive does not start after recovery.

  I installed a new hard drive after my old a bi dust.

  I ran the recovery from the discs of HP.

  After formatting the disk and copy files, it won't boot from the disk.

  I changed the boot order and tested the drive in the BIOS.

  What Miss me?

  The new hard drive sometimes requires to prepare first with utility cd from Cyberlink. Download and save the file. Once the download is complete, place a blank cd in your drive and click on the file to create a boot cd. Start with this cd and wait until you get a green check mark indicates the hard disk is ready. Remove the cd, insert the first disc of recovery and restart the laptop.

• After the new HARD drive does not start installation Qosmio G15

  I just got this G15 last week and one of the hard drives was bad. Put it in a new Bay 2 and it does not start. I took it back and it starts fine. I even changed the main hard drive Bay 2 HD and it starts up fine with a hard drive. It's something to do with the scores, I think. Any help appreciated.

  Hello
  I think that the boot order has been the bad HARD drive in the BIOS.
  At the new disk you do not installed any OS, and in my opinion, this is a reason for starting problems.
  Simply access the BIOS and change the boot order
