• Qosmio G20 - new HARD drive does not work

  I have a G20 and try to change one of my hard drives of 60 GB for a new 250 GB (Western Digital WD2500BEVS, SATA-150, 5400 RPM).

  First thing I would add is that the hard drive is fully discoverable, formatable, and usable in my desktop... but in my G20s it only detects it in the BIOS but has a status of 'impossible' and my operating system (XP) can't quite see.

  Please can someone help?

  Hello

  You've got a 60 GB and a 250 GB HARD drive in your Qosmio G20.
  Is this good?

  What RAID settings do you use?
  You can check the settings in the BIOS and in the user manual, you will find some details about the RAID.

  If the RAID is defined on the mirror then only the HARD drive would be available and if the first HARD 60 GB disk is then the other HARD disk would also provide ONLY 60 GB even if it s 250GB

• Re: Tecra 9100 - new HARD drive is not detected

  I have a Toshiba Harddisk provide a Tecra 9100. Checking the BIOS it shows "Enhanced IDE", but you are trying to boot from the disc does not work HARD. Even trying to install a new operating system present, that the HARD drive is not detected.
  From the laptop is also very long.
  Any idea?

  Your new HARD drive is larger than 120 GB? The HARD disk controller supports the 28-bit LBA and large drives as 120 GB will not be recognized by the BIOS.

  What you mean with Enhanced IDE? The BIOS recognizes the new HARD drive with model number?

• Qosmio F20 - new HARD drive is not recognized correctly

  I have a F20-153, just replace HD with Western Digital WD2500BEVE 250 GB that appears only 120 GB.
  Everything works fine (Windows, everything) but * I can't bring up BIOS at startup to all top-most *.

  Yes tried all combinations of keys F1 to F12, even tried under a full moon while that Peel an orange. I can't update the BIOS because the site says I last 1.40

  Can anyone help before you start sacrificing poultry?

  Hello

  First of all, it is not normal that appears only 120 GB instead of 250 GB., I don't know much about your model, but I guess there are limits, which means that the laptop can only handle drives up to 120.
  Try to remove your new HD and replace the old one to see if you are able to enter the Bios.

• Satellite Pro 2100 - new HARD drive is not booting

  Hello
  I wanted to update my SP2100 with a WD1200BEVE. (120 GB of WD).

  Copy of disk via USB + speakers worked, but after changing the disc nine does not start: the laptop hangs up with blinking cursor.
  Already checked that the partition is active and even a new installation from a CD of XP has the same result! The BIOS seems to accept the drive (if not installing via CD should have failed) so where is the problem?

  Any tips?

  Hi Kannengiesser,

  Which is really strange that you can t start up disk even it s recognized in BIOS correctly...

  You have the Toshiba Recovery disk? If so, you can try this disc factory settings. If it works, it was just an installation problem.

  But I couldn't imagine also that the new HARD drive is not working properly last week I had a similar problem. Made a HARD drive upgrade, but a few days later Windows didn't start because the HARD drive had a bad sector, now I'm waiting for a replacement drive.

• HARD drive is not detected in BIOS - need to recover data.

  What happened is that my laptolaptop takes a long time to start, so I slapped him. After that I kept getting the error message "no boot device, please restart". So whenever I restarted I kept getting this message. I also sometimes had "Media Fail" message. I pressed F2 at startup to get into the Bios. Settings so check I saw that hard disk still showed it's a Hitachi one.

  My hard drive was clicking to it so I searched online advice on what to do and I saw on the opening of the hard drive in a clean environment, ensuring that no dust went on the drive. I expect the head being stuck on disc, but it was not stuck. So basically, I put the lid on. Since then, the hard drive was not detected.

  Not in the Bios (he said no). I bought a CD to restart which can temporarily become Windows to the screen under Xp, so I can go to the computer to retrieve data from the hard drive. It shows nothing. There is always a clicking hard drive, more a ticking sound. It is always possible that an expert could remove the hard drive and recover my data that are valuable photos and videos.

  Thank you

  What model of laptop do you have?
  Try to set the BIOS to default settings and check if the HARD drive is recognized correctly.

• 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

• Satellite S1800-100 HARD drive is not detected

  Hello

  I just got an old laptop, the guy who gave me think it had been deleted and the boot sector had to reformat and reload.

  However, I booted up in windows 2 k consisting of disc to see that there is no HARD drive detected.
  Then I went into the BIOS to see if it was detected he find that it is not.

  I just want to check that I have reason to think that the HARD drive is actually dead?

  Hello

  It is possible that the HARD drive is faulty, but there may also be placed on the motherboard defective HARD disk controller. If possible, try to get another HARD drive and you will see if the new HARD drive is recognized correctly.

• Qosmio G20: update HARD drive internal

  My G20 has 2 60 GB HARD drive.
  I'll remove the No2 car that does not have windows for a bigger. It took me a bit to a source in the UK and I have a price of 199.99 gbp for a 120 GB drive. Does that seem reasonable for a real player Toshiba?

  Due to another disk HARD 100 GB being 99.99 gbp. I don't know what to do either would drive as good as Tosh one? Also can I turn off the computer and exchange them because in my computer both drives are called Toshiba Raid.

  I'm not clued up on Paolo etc any help or advice would be appreciated.
  Thank you

  Hello

  The price of HARD drive depends not only on the size of the HARD drive, but also on the rotation of the disk, size of buffer.
  I think that the Qosmio also supports S - ATA interface. In this case, you need a compatible SATA HARD drive.
  In the user manual which must be preinstalled on your laptop, you will find instruction how to remove and install the HARD drive.

  RAID uses 2 HDD. You can set it up as a mirror RAID-1 and RAID 0 stripping. When you use RAIND-1, data is stored twice so that even if there are problems with a HARD disk, the other HARD disk can be used to retrieve the data.
  The additional HARD drive capacity must be equal to or greater than the capacity of the first HARD drive. Additional if you are using RAID-1 the operating system recognizes the slightest ability to drive HARD 2.
  In this case, if you use a 60GB and a 120 GB OS recognizes it as 60 GB. The extra 60 GB of the second HARD disk cannot be used.

  But all this s information you can find in the user manual.

• (brand new) hard drive 0 not found (Latitude D600)

  ======================================================

  I know this has been discussed a lot, but I have not found a solution.

  My laptop is a Dell Latitude D600, BIOS Version: A16

  My HARD drive died last week, he was making noises that I made backups.

  Of course, one morning I turned it on and it says '... ". hard drive 0 not found... »

  So I thought right we'll buy a new one, no big deal. In this case.

  But to my horror, the brand-spanking-new HARD drive made me exactly the same thing!

  Costs of the antistatic packaging, directly in the cradle, with tenderness.

  "First hard drive 0 not found '.

  No bootable devices - strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for Setup utility.

  Also, the BIOS reads my "main hard drive: ' as 'None '.

  I tried: -.

  -Replace (re-attachment for cradle clamp, tighten, etc..)

  -reset of the BIOS (pressing ALT - F)

  -internal 'HDD' isolation in the "boot order" (BIOS)

  -startup WinXP CD to format (says also that it cannot detect a HARD drive)

  -stroked and tweaked every possible BIOS setting

  -a ran the diagnostics (well Yes, tells me that it cannot find a HARD disk)

  -check the temperature (not a problem at all)

  I bought my D600 to opportunity without boot floppies or manuals, and private security has passed.

  I'll try to take out the battery for a day to see if that will be "flash BIOS" but I can't help you as (to my knowledge) the motherboard settings remain stored with the help of a small battery attached to the actual motherboard that would be inside the envelope, so I think it's a misunderstanding in another post on the forum , but I'll try it in desperation anyway. Next step would be to open the envelope and checking the IDE and remove the battery from the motherboard for 5-10 minutes.

  After that, my only option is to send to some local business PC repair. Ick.

  Any help will be VERY appreciated! Thank you.

  
  

• New HARD drive is not recognized on Tecra M1

  Hello

  I am new to this forum, so apologies if this is an old question.

  My Tecra M1 gave a quality service for the past 6 years, but recently, the Toshiba management console has put a message saying that the HARD drive will fail quickly.

  I loaded immediately turned off my main files before you remove the HARD drive. It is a Toshiba MK6022gax 60 gig IDE hard drive. I bought a new disc of gigabytes of 60 MK6022gax, but when I mounted this same I got the error message "error ide #0". Installation XP or the BIOS can see this new record.

  I then reassembled the old HARD drive, which started OK. I then mounted the new disk in a USB enclosure, initialized, partitioned and quick formatted using the XP disk management. He picked up OK. Then I copied some files to it and read them back with no problems, then the drive itself works very well. But when I plug as the main 'C' drive, I get the error message again and is not recognized by the bios or XP put in place.

  Clearly, there is some BIOS (?) or startup procedure I have to do to get this recognized record. Help!

  I have Tecra M1 long with 60 GB HARD drive. Right now, I've updated compatible HDD TOSHIBA HDD 2184 B.
  I can confirm that the HARD drive is recognized correctly and I actually have the new install of WXP Pro.

  In any case, have you tried to upgrade the BIOS to the default settings?
  As far as I know that nothing should be set before you put the new HARD drive and it must be recognized correctly.

• 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.

• Can't reinstall XP service pack 3 on the new hard drive, will not cross of EULA

  Computer VOstro 220 (Dell) under the age of 18 months. Internal HD died and was replaced two weeks ago with a HD internal 320, the speed of 7200 Western Digital. (Micro Center, a computer store large installed the HD that I bought at the store)

  I used the OEM "reinstall Windows XP service Pack 3" DVD.  With F12 I put the computer to boot from the DVD.

  DVD boots, I chose the option to install the OS

  Fisrt I see the message that the program checks the material. No error message

  Then I see the screen with the words "Windows Setup". Five minutes later, Microsoft EULA (end-user contract) is displayed.  IT does not scroll, I used the arrow keys on the keyboard to get at the end of the EULA was waiting for some kind of "type option"I agree". But there is nothing.

  Nothing more happens. No additional configuration.

  What is the problem? What should I do to get the Windows XP installation to continue?

  Why not install the operating system?

  Anywhere between 5 and 20% (depending on the production) new hard disks are defective. Test your drive with the factory utility.

• R51 new HARD drive will not restore factory correctly state with discs

  I caught a HDD of 80 GB on old computer my gf, and I thought I would use it to replace the 40 GB hard drive in my ThinkPad R51.  There is not really important info on my old hdd, so I just created a factory recovery disks, put on the new hard drive (both are PATA) and ran from Rescue and Recovery.  After completing restore to factory state all the new hard drive will do is Rescue and new Recovery charge.  It does not load Windows.  Is there anything else I need to do?

  Shot in the hip here, but ISTR that some versions of R & R restore the image of 'restoration' in HD, then you restart to R & R and run a restore it to complete the restore of the rest of the car.

  As I said, just something I've seen elsewhere.  Worth, perhaps,
