• Second SATA hard drive not detected by Bios and Device Manager

  Original title: second SATA hard drive

  Hard drive not detected by the Bios and the device under Vista Home Premiun Manager

  Hi trinitario,.

  Because the hard drive is not detected in the BIOS also, it may be due to a hard drive configuration that should be changed or a rider. If you need to get in touch with a Local tech-store for assistance.

  Note: change in the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  I put the hard drive on an XP and Vista machine and can read the hard drive, but not with Windows 7

  Hi Zling,

  It works on other OS? When did you finally read the disc and with what OS? If you can read the drive and make a backup of the data on this subject, I you suggest to backup the data on the drive and then put it in using the NTFS file system.

• Satellite A10 - lsass.exe constantly reading & writing HARD drive

  Hello!

  Two weeks ago, I asked here a piece of advice from my Satellite A10 has bombarded me with messages on "bad clusters" and "not being able to write this or that" on my HARD drive. I thought that my HARD drive was too old and bad functioning, and maybe it should be replaced.

  Now, I know that the cause of my problems is Windows XP.
  As soon as he starts lsass.exe this horrible process is constantly read and write something on the HARD drive.

  As a result, it keeps my HARD drive so busy that all programs that I use can not work properly: when they want to write something on my HARD drive it must wait and wait. And I think this incessant and door reading wrote on the poor HARD disk.

  I googled for a solution (it seems that there are other victims who are unable to get rid of the unwelcome lsass.exe) and I tried to prohibit files indexing and system recovery but these solutions do not work for me. Is there another remedy known to this naughty lsass?

  I have Windows XP Toshiba Recovery Disk and lately this lsass were so widespread that I can not download updates for XP SP2 or SP3. So, if there is a good solution, it must be for the Virgin XP SP1...

  Help, please!

  Hello

  Lsass.exe belongs to the Windows operating system and it s a Microsoft file!
  It is a path to the file: windows\system32\lsass.exe

  I found these details:
  + "lsass.exe" is the local security authentication server. It checks the validity of the user on your PC/server logons. It generates the process responsible for authenticating users for the Winlogon service. +

  I put t think that the file can be removed or should be removed.

• Pavilion 15-p080ca hard drive not detected in Win8, 03F1 0021 03F0 Bios errors, impossible to recover

  Hello

  I bought a new laptop from Windows 8 15-p080ca tigerdirect.ca Pavilion and he received a couple of days.

  The computer restarts randomly when working on it, I remember reading an IO error message in a popup windows.

  Since then, he constantly reboot, tries to load windows, fails and restarts until the auto repair is involved.

  Journal of the system BIOS has to many warnings and error: 03F0, 03F1, 0021.  I had about 3 times a hard drive not found error on POST.

  I can't repair the installation either by partition recovery or recovery discs, I get "the disc is locked error" or "auto repair could not fix your pc.

  Also Manager of recovery can not find the recovery partition.

  On the command prompt diskpart list disk;  "There is no fixed disk to show.

  However, the live cd Ubuntu and xp Mini are able to see all the partitions, view files and read them, a quick HDtune read test indicates no disk error.

  The computer is able to read disk hard since I am able to get on the recovery and windows tries to load until I get "your pc ran into a problem that he couldn't handle and must be restarted.

  HP PC Hardware diagnostic SMART test, short DST returns warning.  Diagnostic test of smart HP returned message 'no hard drive installed' only once.

  Whatever it is that the base Windows 8, if the recovery disc, original media is not able to see the hard drive.

  I tried to boot the recovery disc, the recovery partition with each combination of Legacy support and secure start to recover partitions without success because the hard drive is not detected (from diskpart list disk command).  The recovery DVDs, I get an error 0xefffff08. I also tried to remove the thought of recovery partition that he might want to move things faster.

  Well, after many hours of research and testing, I think I tried everything I could do and would need support for additional testing or replacement of the defective material.

  Thank you very much in advance for your help,.

  Jonathan.

  Contacted HP Support, laptop, go to the repair center.  Probably the location of the hard drive to the motherboard as they said.

• Hard drive not detected once, but now?

  Hello

  I am Zak, a bit of techno when it comes to playing with the software, or re-Assembly of computers and whatnot. Unfortunately, I have no idea about other things.

  Some quick history on my laptop: the fan was made terrible noises in recent weeks. Initially, I thought it was little dust, so I got a few duster. A lot of dust came out, so that can only be good, but the noise came back after a few days. After some research, I thought that the other logical explanation was probably the hard drive goes bad. I hesitate to send back to HP because I use it for all my college work and it would really put me back weeks to have it not.

  So, a few days ago I booted my computer laptop at a "drive not detected" - or very similar - message. There were a few options for f1 - f4, they were information system and 3 different tests (I think). I ran the tests, all of them came back fine, noting that there are no operating system installed, or a hard drive to boot from. I rebooted because I didn't quite start and wanted to see if there were other options. It turns out that he has started well. I restarted once more and again once it did it very well.

  Then, I coded around, back up all my data, gather warranty information, installation of the HP Support Assistant, etc. I ran all the tests help Wizard and there is no problems found. Since I just got the laptop hibernation when I stop using it, and I have not met any unusual problems. All this sounds great, but my warranty expires December 7 this year. It is safe for me to assume that the "drive not detected" error was just one missed? I read a lot of discussions and FAQS on him and it's not something that happens once and goes. However, I never had to use a warranty so not sure quite how the process works, and as I said, he sent everywhere would put me in my work.

  In order to be a full post, I have a HP G62 - 367DX laptop, running on Windows 7 64-bit OS, and as far as I know there no change was made between error and my prior boot. If there is any other information I can give you, let me know.

  See you soon, thank you for all help and good day

  The wizard tests are not as comprehensive or reliable as the drive hard test in the BIOS... tap F10 as you power up, go and find the hard drive test. Run the long form test and see what it says. It is not uncommon that the hard drive start as intermittent and get progressively more frequent problems. If your drive passes the test of long form, only enough safely, you can assume that it was a unique gremlin, but it's still a really good idea to back up. I like the idea of online backup services and I will quote Carbonite only because it is well known and not as an endorsement. There are several more and year external drive is a good idea.

  You can't put off forever; restarting You'll have to deal with the issue at some point.

• NB100 - 11G - HARD drive not detected during installation of Windows XP

  I have a Toshiba NB100 - 11G with Win XP Home and a 160 GB HD RAM upgraded 1 024 to 2 GB. Recently, I tried to install Win Pro SP3. However, it did not work and the message was that the hard drive was not recognized. I have no problem restoring with the provided Toshiba Recovery CD (which has Win XP Home).

  Does anyone have an idea why I couldn't install Win XP Pro? Could it be related to my RAM upgrade? (The only thing I changed.)

  Thanks for a response. Sincerely, Allan.

  Hello

  The problem is that you integrate the driver SATA Windows XP can detect the internal HARD drive. Otherwise, you get a blue screen or the HARD drive is not detected.

  With the help of nLite (freeware tool), you can create a new drive to install XP with SATA driver package. This is described here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm

  If you have any other questions, you can also see similar forum topics. You can find hundreds of threads here in the forum about it.

• Hard drive not detected on Satellite Pro 4270

  I took out the 2 "5 HDD of my SP4270 to transfer data to my PC via an EIDE 5 3" 5-2"adapter, HD has been detected by the bios of my PC and the transfer was successful.
  Then I reinserted the Bay 2 "5 for laptop from my hard drive, but I get the message"Insert system disk in drive.".
  I checked the boot priority in the setup and it shows a HDD-> CD-> sequence FDD.
  In the DISKS to bios section, I see HDD = IDE (1F0H/IRQ14) primary.

  I extracted and reinsert the disc again, hard, but without result.
  What could be the problem?

  Hello

  It is not easy to say what is happening here. Please when you pull it out HARD drive remove the connection of the power supply and the battery first.

  Check all the pins on the HARD drive. I hope they are all okay.
  Try to enter the HARD disk using the disk boot or applications in MS-DOS mode. If there is no success there is a hardware problem.

• External SSD hard drive not detected by Airport Extreme/Time Capsule

  Hello everyone, I have the following problem:

  Framework

  -J' bought a 1 TB Samsung SSD 840 EVO internal media.

  -He is locked in a case of badges and used as an external hard drive

  -J' have an Airport Extreme (5th generation)

  -J' have a Time Capsule (4th Gen)

  -My MBP detects the SSD external hard drive when it is connected to the USB port and works fine

  Problem

  -I connect the external SSD hard drive to the USB port on both TCapsule and AExtreme, but the HD is not detected directly (USD and with powered hub of USD)

  -HD was formatted as OS x journaled Extended

  -J' tried smb and cifs via 'connect to server', but does not work.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Unfortuantely, Apple did not update the firmware on the USB key (it is still 2.0) port on their routers for a number of years.  As a result, new USB 3.0 drives may or may not work with airports.

  Yes, we know that USB 3.0 is supposed to be backward compatible with USB 2.0 in theory, but theory does not always work in practice.

  If your drive is formatted as Mac OS extended (journaled)... also called HFS +... .and you have tried the drive with and without a USB hub powered and the reader will not be displayed with you check using the AirPort Utility disks tab... then you have one of a number of readers who do not work with routers from the airport.

  I just checked a new LaCie USB 3.0 drive I have here. It works perfectly with a Mac, but it appears not at all when I connect it to the USB port or a powered new AirPort Extreme or new Time Capsule directly, or by using a USB hub.

• HARD drive not detected in the BIOS on Satellite A215

  Hi all

  I could use to solve this problem: bought this laptop computer without a disk of the auction. Installed again 2.5 inches HDD SATA 250 GB, which was not detected in BIOS and also not detected when using a MS Vista installation disc. When trying to install Vista, get a message no drive seen HARD and demand for pilots.
  I flashed the BIOS with version (2.0) of lates without problem through the CD drive, but still no detection of HARD drive.

  The drive partitioned and formatted NTFS without problem by using another computer and USB SATA adapter using the command line method. Just for additional verification, I went on the new HARD drive to an extra 2.5 "SATA HDD used for backups, but that the HARD drive has also not been detected.

  It is not a "compatibility" option in CMOS to select SATA or Auto, etc..
  There is not a second HDD, so this isn't a question of slave/primary. There are no jumpers on the new HARD drive.
  Set the CMOS settings 'by default' does not solve the problem.

  The SATA connectors on the HARD drive and laptop computer are in perfect condition.
  Also, the drive is not detected on the laptop connected via USB to SATA Adapter, but of course there is no OS installed to support this connection.

  In any case, I just can't come up with any more ideas to try.
  Any suggestions would be really appreciated!

  Best,
  Glenn

  Hello

  The BIOS should recognize the HARD disk even if the SATA mode would be compatible or AHCI. This should not affect the recognition of the HARD drive.

  You said that you have tested the condition of the HARD drive and it's ok, so I guess that it s no disc HARD question.
  Hmm, you could try to format the HARD drive once more and then connect the portable computer HARD drive.

  Another idea: Remove/Disconnect the CD/DVD drive and then connect the HARD drive to the SATA connector.
  If it does not, then I recommend to test another HARD drive, otherwise if the new HARD drive would not work, then a SATA controller may be defective.

• New hard drive (301, 3F0 Messages)

  I recently bought a HGST 1 TB hard drive (2.5-inch, 7200 RPM) upgrade for my G6-2218NR Pavilion (8 64-bit Windows). My problem is that, from the start of my laptop, I got the message;

  "SMART disk error."
  INTELLIGENT drive control hard to detected an imminent failure... etc."

  I'm the given code 301 and the option of F2 for System Diagnostics, as well as "to continue booting.

  If I select keep booting I get the following message 3F0

  "Boot Device not found.
  Please install an operating system on your hard drive. »

  If I select F2 I can run the memory Test and the check of the hard drive. I get a SUCCESS message after you run the memory test, but try to run check the hard drive, I get the message, "SMART Check: NOT AVAILABLE." "DST short: caveat."

  Also, despite are not I can also access the utility of configuration with F10.

  So, Ive got a few questions. First of all, is it possible for my new drive hard be DOA? Second, if it is not, how to re - install Windows 8? And finally, it would be prudent to put back the original hard drive in the laptop, until I have a solution?

  YES, it's quite possible for a new disk in DOA. Download the diagnosis of HGST drive and create a bootable CD. Reinstall the 'new' hard drive and test it with the diagnostic CD. If it fails, return the disc to another.

  If you have not already created it your personal set of HP or an HP Recovery USB Flash Drive Recovery discs, please return the original to the computer hard drive. Then create the support of HP recovery for your computer.

  You will need to use the HP recovery support to return the computer to a factory state after installing a new disk.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
