Qosmio G30 - Setup can't find any HARD drive

I can't change windows MSE for vista on my G30 set up can not find any hard disk installed on it, but with toshiba drive reanimator it works! can anyone help?

If I understand you right you use a disc of Microsoft to install Vista.

Have you heard of driver SATA? You will need this driver otherwise that your HARD drive will not be recognized.
Download drivers (as far as I know the Intel Storage Manager) and load it after booting from the CD or use you nLite.

In the forum are already a lot of thread on this Yes please read a little.

  • Setup can't find any hard drives installed on your system

    Hi all. I got this laptop from a friend, but it had a bios password and nobody knew what it was. I try to install windows xp professional on this topic. Its a HP Compaq NC 6400, which apparently worked, but someone has changed the password in the bios and after MANY attempts of trial and error, I finally got one to begin but hard disk dive was insane. I tried to load a new copy of windows, but just to the time it gets to where you press ENTER to install windows, it says that the installation program is not all hard drives installed on your system.

    When I there remove the hard disk and it slave on my desctop pc it shows his works very well. Please can someone help because I don't know what to do next!

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Paul. Thanks a lot for your quick response! I did what you said and now windows installs beautifully. I had somehow sorted bios password history by reading the Internet, and after MUCH advice to try all of a sudden. I'm if happy there are smart people like you out there!

    Thanks again for your help.

  • Setup did not find any hard drives installed in my computer

    HI -.

    I own a laptop Presario X1015US and recently bought a new hard drive for her (Western Digital Scorpio Blue PATA 160 GB) but when I insert the operating system CD it goes through the entire process until it gets to a page where it says:

    Family Windows XP Setup


    Setup did not find any hard drives installed in your computer.


    Make sure that the hard disks are turned on and properly connectd to your computer, and that any hardware configuration of the drives is correct. This may involve a diagnosis provided by the manufacturer or the installer running.


    Setup cannot continue.  To quit Setup, press F3.

    I'm not sure of what I am doing wrong and hope someone can help me.  For example -.

    -J' checked the Bios and I do not see where the drive sits - have I missed something?

    -The drive I bought compatible for this model - electronic Fry told me that it is.

    Thank you

    Charles

    If the bios does not see it, installing XP will ever either.

    Some older laptops have a problem with the largest hard disks (more), I return the drive and see if they have a 120 GB model.

    Can also be that you just got a bad.

  • Setup did not find any hard drives installed on your computer.

    Make sure that the hard drives are powered on and well connegted to your computer. And that any hardware configuration of the drives is correct. This may involve running a program diagnosis provided by the manufacturer. How do the hard disk driver. so I can see if everything right?

    You will get the driver from the website of the manufacturer of the hard drive.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Hello

    It is perhaps that the hard drive is not connected properly. Make a person qualified to check the connections of the hard drive to make sure they are solid, you need to maybe disconnect and reconnect both ends of the cable.

    I suggest you return the article mentioned below to learn how to fix ntoskrnl.exe.

    Error message: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem.

  • Windows CD can not find installed hard drives

    I have a PC that has windows XP installed and worked well and I have DSL so I kept it updated. It has been updated for the updates. It was a month that it seemed hung on a windows update and I've finally powered down to exit the update mode. After that, he would finally in XP but would not other that the busy when an icon is clicked. I decided to reload XP using the same CD I used originally when I built PC. It will load the drivers to install XP, but when installing windows is selected it says no hard drives found. When booting 2 HARD disks are displayed, but are not detected when you look in the BIOS. I've tried changes in the BIOS as auto detect HDD including default BIOS and not go. I remembered to change a partition using Partition magic 8.0 and decided that might be the problem, so I started in the magic of partition and formatted part C of the HDD in NTFS, but the results are the same. Any suggestion is appreciated. TIA

    Do you mean you see a message like this?

This may involve a diagnosis provided by the manufacturer or the installer running. Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3.

    If the disks are not appearing in BIOS, it seems unlikely that XP will be able to see them no more.

    Describe the best you can, your hard disk configuration...  IDE, SATA, SCSI, RAID configurations...

    You build the hardware yourself or is it a system store bought?

    Are you able to determine when the system turns on, the brand and model of your motherboard and the BIOS it is running?

    Without more information, I can only offers these general reflections where to search:

    When you see a message like this, obviously the XP installation starts to load, but then when the installation program needs to go out and find your hard drive is not find the hard drive.  It means not necessarily your hard drive is defective and if it worked before, it's probably still plugged.  It simply means that the installation of XP is not able to find it.

    Looks like you need enter the BIOS on your system by pressing the 'Delete', F2, F10 or F12 key (what the key is good for your system), find the section where the types of hard disks and hard disk interfaces are configured and temporarily change the setting so the XP installation is able to find the hard drive.

    Where to find the accommodation and how to change depends on your system manufacturer and the version of the BIOS, so you end up having to look at her.  If you know your system brand and model, we can probably help you find a job.

    You must locate and change the interface mode to your hard drive in the BIOS so that when installing XP loading, it will be able to locate the hard drive.

    Before making adjustments, you should take note of what are the current BIOS settings, so you can change when you are finished.

    The adjustment varies so here are some examples that I have accumulated:

    The adjustment is done in the BIOS and could be in Integrated Peripherals, Configuration of SATA, SATA Mode device.  After you make the changes, save them and restart your XP installation program.

    If you find that the mode is set on the RAID/SATA mode, change the IDE mode.

    If you find that the mode is set to AHCI, change the ATA mode.

    If you find that the mode is set to AHCI emulation Mode, change the IDE emulation mode.

    If you find that the mode is set to SATA, SATA mode off or change the ATA mode.

    If you find that the mode is set to SATA Native Mode, disable the native SATA Mode.

    If you find that the mode is set on AHCI/RAID Autodetect, change the combination mode.

    If find you the setting that works for you, I would like to know what it is so I can add it to my notes.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    I decided to implement the points for a new puppy instead of a pony!

  • 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.

  • How can I find the hard drive in my Acer Aspire 10.1 switch keyboard docking station?

    My Acer Aspire 10.1 switch was sold with an additional 500 GB HDD in the keyboard. But the drive only extra hard (except C :) I can find in Explorer's "recovery (D :) ", but this is ony 32 GB, but it goes away when I remove the keyboard, so it is in the keyboard. At the start of the computer there is certainly a hard drive of sound from the keyboard, so there is something in there. OS is Win 8.1.

    the 500 GB HARD drive is on the keyboard, so if you disconnect Switch10, you lose the remote storage.

    You can check it in disk management:

    Logo of the Windows key + x

    Click on disk management

    It will be all avilable storage the list, in order to check if the HDD 500 GB is there and if it is listed as unallocated space.

    Hello

    This device was equipped with a SATA HDD. This might be a reason why it of not possible to install Linux. It takes the drivers before you continue to the installation of the OS.
    Unfortunately Toshiba doesn't support Linux and you will not be able to find the Linux drivers on the Toshiba site.

  • Cannot install windows XP it said hard drives are not connected & windows can not find the hard drives

    I got an asus computer notebook windows vista, upgrade from vista to windows 7, now I'm not able to do a clean install of windows xp, when I try to install XP, it says that hard drives are not connected & windows cannot find not the hard drives, so once again installed windows 7, is there a way to overcome this problem Why do I get the message windows xp does not detect hard drives? I even formatted the hard drive & tried to install Xp, but still, I get the same message.

    The answers will be appreciated...

    Thank you

    Because the Windows XP installation CD does not have the necessary disk controller drivers.  You will need a floppy drive to provide the drivers of controller for the installation program, or you will need to burn a CD of Windows XP with the controller drivers slipstreamed into the installation.  A CD of Windows XP with SP2 included may have the necessary drivers.

  • Dell Vostro 430 sometimes breaks down and does not find the hard drive in the bios

    So I have this old - ish Dell Vostro 430, intel cpu, windows 7 hard disk sata 250 GB, 4 GB of ram.

    Update BIOS to the latest version 2.4.0

    In certain exceptional circumstances, this PC sometimes crashes in windows, it is restarted, and then when he comes back it does not find the hard drive as a gift. He is not seen in the bios and does not start.

    To fix, I have to unplug the power cable, wait a few seconds, plug in, reboot the computer and it starts normally, load windows and everything.

    So far, I have tried to paginate on another hard disk, reinstall the Windows operating system from scratch, and same thing happens from time to time.

    It is difficult to find the cause of the problem, because this happens very rarely.

    Sometimes, when the pc is turned on for the first time in the morning, the hard drive is not found by the bios and we reappear at the same trick (disconnect the power cable) to take him back.

    When it crashes when using inside Windows, it seems that the reason is the computer can't find the hard drive.

    Such computer is out of warranty.

    It would be nice to just throw this computer because it is still fine for the work it has to do, + I have Windows and Office OEM license on it, as well as many other software that I have to reinstall etc.etc.

    No idea what I could troubleshoot?

    Maybe change the motherboard? How can I buy a new motherboard for an out of warranty Dell?

    While possibly keeping all the OEM licenses (Windows 7 and Office 2007).

    • Have you tried to replace the battery in the motherboard, if nothing else than to exclude it? CR2032, 3-volt lithium-ion, ~ $2 at discount stores. Do not forget to open the BIOS Setup and copy down all current settings first because remove battery BIOS resets the default values, which is maybe not correct for your specific system.
    • Have you tried another SATA data cable, or reinstall the existing at both ends?
    • Have you reinstall RAM and PCI card in their slots?
    • Have you used canned air to blow out the dust?
    • Maybe a power supply problem... ? If insufficient voltage, he could not start the HARD drive quite fast at startup, or quick enough after your option settings to be able to turn the HARD drive off when it is not accessed, what may cause this error message 'not found '.
    • If you use a power strip or surge protector, have you deleted and the PC connected directly to a wall jack?

    If it is a motherboard defective and you replace it with another jury of Vostro 430, you shouldn't have any problems with Windows or Office licenses. Assuming you are using Windows Dell reinstall for exact same version of Windows drive that was installed at the factory, it should not even ask the product key, if you must reinstall Windows on the HARD drive. But even if she asks, there should be a sticker somewhere on the PC with your unique product key so you can enter if the installer made the request.

    and make sure you have the Office product key too...
