Reformatted and drives disappeared

OK, I recently reformatted my hard drive of my computer. Since then, my two DVD ROM and my slave drive does not appear anywhere. Please help and with laymans terms preferred. :)

Well... never mind.

Fixed a problem. It is through a power cord disconnected on the DVD ROM drive and slave.

Thank you for your time.

  • Switchable Graphics and ATI Graphics Driver disappear (BIOS update)

    Then the other day, that HP has insisted on the behaviour of one of its annoying BIOS updates on my Pavilion dv7.

    Before the update, I was able switchable graphics and could pass the ATI Mobility Radeon 4250 something the 5650 (I'm sure I have these numbers). in any case, now, a few days after the update (which I believe I installed on 19 January), I noticed that my switchable graphics options have disappeared, as well as my option driver ATI Mobility Radeon 5650... large. So now games graphics look significantly bad and slow because I can't spend to the best driver. Thanks, HP.

    So, the question is how to get back my switchable graphics and other driver? I was looking around and found some - related posts that can be useful for people who seek to answer this question, but aren't really help me:

    and

    http://Forum.NotebookReview.com/Lenovo-IBM/392522-how-regain-switchable-graphics-W500.html

    If you answer this, please try to keep it in easy English and avoid a lot of abbreviations, I won't understand. Just consider me like a fool when it comes to installing and uninstalling the drivers and try to make simple instructions. Thank you very much!

    Hey man, idk if you are still working on it, but I have the solution.  Basically, HP has two updates for each laptop model; one for laptops with integrated graphics card only and another for laptops with switchable graphics.  Unfortunately, the driver for laptop with integrated graphics card only has been the default driver in this update.  Instead of trying to reinstall the older driver, just install the new correct driver.  To do this, follow these steps:

    1. go on http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html

    2. the website can automatically detect what dv7 you have.  Just click on the button "start detection".  It will ask you to download something, but its ok.  Do it.  Then just click on 'continue' and let it detect your system.

    3. There should be a screen that has 'Detected list of products' on him.  Under where it is said that your model is, there must be a link that says "software and driver downloads".  Until it clicks.

    4. in the next screen, you will need to choose your operating system.  Select it and click "next".

    5. a list appears with all the drivers for different systems.  Expand the category that says 'pilot -"graphic  There will be several drivers (one being that shitty laptop with integrated graphics card only and another for great laptops with switchable graphics).  Read the descriptions of each and it is made for laptops with switchable graphics.  Download the right one.

    Once download you, you will need to restart your laptop.  When it starts up, it will be like new.

  • Tecra S1: Step by step how to reformat HARD drive by using the product recovery CD

    OK guys, I'm about to return my lease (Toshiba Tecra S1); because the video card is 'us' and I would like to reformat the drive and return the system to its original state by using the "product recovery cd-rom provided Toshiba."

    My problem is that the video card is on the right track and using windows is a challenge quite like its like watching a patchwork blanket. So, when you try to use the recovery of product cd-rom, I can just not read the screen "its comparable to the matrix.

    I really need a tutorial step by step with screenshots at each step 'a map of the fool '. Can anyone help.

    Thanks in advance,
    Robsta

    Hello Robsta

    Believe you did not need the step by step tutorials or shoots screen. The recovery procedure is very simply.

    Put the recovery CD in the CD/DVD drive
    Turn on the laptop and keep C button for a few seconds
    Follow the menu on the screen
    Choose option 1 for installation in Standard mode and just follow what is happening on the screen

    All that s!

  • Satellite P100-188-CD/DVD drive disappear when install iTunes

    I have a P100-188 and when I install itunes (ver 7.7.11 I think) my D drive disappeared.
    If I check in the device manager that there is an error in there against the disc.

    The only way I can get back the player must do a system restore.
    Does anyone know the version of iTunes that I have to install to bypass this or the correct driver for the reader?
    The device has a drive HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4082N installed.

    Thank you very much

    James

    > "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." The error signature shows that: AppName: itunes.exe Appver:8.0.0.35 Modname: unknown Modver:0.0.0.0 Offset: 00008200.

    I remember one of my friends had a similar question. The error always appears after the new installation of iTunes.
    He called me and I tried different things, I reinstalled the application, clean the OS, etc, but anything :( I was really desperate

    Finally, I decided to reinstall the OS to see if there could be something wrong with the Windows installed. And that was the key of the OS has been confused don t I know why, but after the new OS installation (it was a hard way) worked the iTunes

    If you can first try reinstalling iTunes, then clean the operating system using CCLeaner and then try again.
    If this can't help, then a new install of the OS may be necessary!

  • Re: Satellite L650-11F, DVD drive disappeared Windows 7 after that BIOS installed

    Hello

    I would like to ask for help about this problem:

    Today one of the programs from TOSHIBA, that came with my laptop (L650-11F), warned me about an update of the BIOS (v1.80) after download and install my DVD drive disappeared from Win7 and it has a continuous yellow light on it. It does not even open when I press the eject button.

    I have however maybe install the old version 1.60 back would help, but TOSHIBA does not keep older drivers version apparently.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello!

    Restart your computer. During the startup, at the beginning, press the F2 key to enter the BIOS Setup. In the configuration, press F10 to restore all the default BIOS settings. Save the changes and exit.

    Post here if your problem solved.

    Kind regards.

    Hello

    You have a set of recovery DVDs, you should be able to start the reinstallation of the operating system by inserting Disc1 into the CD/DVD drive (close a window that can be opened when you do this), then by restarting the laptop to boot from the disc.  As long as the process progresses, you will be asked to insert Disc2 and then later, Disc3.

    Kind regards

  • Partition on HARD drive disappeared after formatting using the product recovery disc

    My laptop came with a partitioned hard drive C and D drives.

    After formatting my hard drive using the recovery disk of the supplied product with my computer, I don't have any option to partition the HARD drive, only for the 1. 46 GB for some recommended backup, and the remainder became the C drive.
    D drive disappeared. Now, when I put the USB ant in my laptop, it reads as D drive.
    Can you please help, I need to have my hard drive partitioned into C and D drives, and flash memory can be any subsequent letter.

    Hello Richard

    Is it so complicated to tell us which model of laptop you have exactly?
    Anyway, when you use recovery Toshiba you cannot lose score. After using the recovery media, you'll have to factory settings and the structure of the HARD disk will be the same as on the first day.
    Something like that is definitely not possible.

    > I don't have no option to partition the HARD disk
    This option doesn't exist. On some older models of laptops, just an option to set up the first score ability there.
    After the first start, you can go to disk management and activate the second partition. All that s!

    Please tell me what model of laptop have you then I can tell you more about the partitions.

  • Realtek HD Audio driver disappears after installing an ATI Radeon graphics card

    My Realtek HD Audio driver disappears (the Vista "Sound Manager" and "Device Manager") and is replaced with an ATI HD Audio driver after you install an ATI Radeon 5450 graphics card.  I tried to uninstall the ATI Audio driver and re - install the Realtek Audio driver.  But, after reboot, Vista automatically re - installs the ATI Audio driver (and the Realtek Audio driver, which I have just reinstalled, is not where after the reboot).  I use a HP a6110n desktop running Windows Vista.

    This works!  I would never have suspected that the problem was a BIOS setting.  Thanks for the good advice!

  • Cd\dvd drive disappeared on Equium A60

    Hi all

    Can someone help me? I have an Equium A60. It's 18 months, outside the usual on heating problems and closing, now it starts but my DVD drive disappeared. I have a rug * a DVD-RAM UJ - 830 s. Win XP just didn't load it.

    He is no longer in 'my computer '. I'm in Control Panel of configuration and the 'systems' then 'system properties' and watched on 'Device Manager '. The drive is there, but with a big yellow exclamation point. So I checked the 'properties' it has the following message: "Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware, but does not the hardware device. (Code 41) "and troubleshooting has no use.

    More than heating cooked my drive? I've updated the drivers for it, but this has no effect.

    Any ideas... ?? Thanks in advance...

  • Reformat and choose to install programs

    Hello world. I'm a newbie to an Apple MacBook Pro with the retina having worked only with Windows PCs. I receive as little a MacBook with an operating system just before the release of El Capitan.

    I want to reformat and install a new copy of El Capitan, but choose only the programs I want to install. I prefer not to remove these programs later. Is this possible?

    I also understand that fragments of deleted programs can be left a bit like registry entries and temporary directories in Windows. Y at - there a (preferably free) app that would fix this please?

    Finally, my drive will be 1 TB in size. It is better that drive of partitioning and how do I go about this?

    A few references to the URL on how to accomplish these applications would be appreciated without reinventing the wheel.

    Thank you very much.

    To start the Mac has no record, so, there is no registry entry on the left.

    If you reformat that will remove everything from the hard drive. You will need to reinstall the operating system. They are a few applications that come with the operation such as Safari. You can not delete them.

    Everything that you have installed additional software must be reinstalled once more. Each of you, the data must be restored from your backup.

    This is a MBPr opportunity, so I would say that you start with a recovery of the Internet which will return back to factory MBPr. After that, you can buy the software on the App Store that you want to install. You can then upgrade to El Capitan. In this way all software will be under your AppleID so that it can be upgraded.

  • Load a Windows rescue disk the same as reformatting and reinstalling Windows?

    Win32/Ramnit.z and fitness.

    Hi, once you've found the Win32/Ramnit.z on one of our computers/cash registers I need to reformat and load the operating system on. A cam XP rescue & recovery disc with the computer and I was wondering if this drive will do the same work as the reformatting.

    Hello

    A recovery disk contains tools and information that can be used to 'recover' your system using the information stored on your hard drive. This 'information' could be the I386 folder, this could be a hidden restore partition, or it could be something else entirely. The key is that the recovery disc uses a lot of information on your hard drive.

    An installation disc contains the software to install. A Windows installation disk contains a copy of Windows that is copied from the disk and installed on the hard drive of your computer. There is not need additional tools or information already exists on the hard drive.
