Replacement masterdrive SATA not recognized by the Dell 8400 Bios AO 3 motherboard

I have a Dell 8400 about 3 years. The original hard drive (WD800 WD Caviar SE Serial ATA Hard Drive 80 GB) died. I tried to install a replacement drive (WD Caviar SE16 320 GB SATA) with the Western Digital Data Lifeguard Tools series. The hard drive cannot be recognized by the BIOS, not the motherboard. Trying to install Win XP boot up occurs OK, but at the time of the final installation of XP without hard disk is discovered and the installation is complete. I called Western Digital and they advised me in early versions of cards mother SATA that they have to recognize the hard drive. I need to "update the SATA driver" Dell and load it into the sequence during the initial installation. I need to do with a floppy disk because a CD will not work. I have no drive disk on the computer, only a CD player and a DVD player. Any help is appreciated, just trying to learn, I'm a newbie. Thank you

    For me, it looks more like an overheating problem caused by the internal temperature.
    It is a typical problem if the cooling fans are clogged and that air can circulate properly.

  • HDD and dvd are not recognized in the configuration menu, what could be the problem?

    The hard drive and dvd drive are not recognized on the configuration menu for my desktop Pavilion a4316f.  What is a controller failure?  A PCI controller can be used to replace the motherboard controller?

    dhobs,

    Anguish, that the suffering of the faulty motherboard has been aggravated by your actions. Why you decided to perform a restore (which re - formate the disk, erase all your data files (documents, photos, videos to misic,) is really amazing.)

    You had a viable BONE, work and the data store. You he clobbered with recovery. As explained, the 'tattoo' reads the embedded hardware configuration and will stop at the resumption of treatment if it detects a change.

    Only temporary help I can offer is to open the computer case and install a small 12v on the NVidia chip fan. IF the chip is not 100% burned, you can earn low enough time to reinstall the operating system and then add the map.

  • HARD drive is not recognized on the Satellite 2800 200

    Hello

    First of all, I'm Dutch so I hope that I do not have too many mistakes in my English writing.

    I bought a 2800-200 Satellite at a friend's House. This laptop has a problem.
    When it is started is says "insert the disk in the drive system. Press a key when readya?.

    My bios is ACPI BIOS version 1.80
    In Pheripheral in Bios it says disc hard = not used Mode.

    On page two discs i/o: HARD drive: no drive.

    I tried two hard drives and the two were not working and not recognized in the BIOS.
    I have no CD of restoration.

    My questions:

    What kind of central computer has this laptop?
    Can someone help me with the recovery CD?
    What can I do to fix this?
    How can I change my BIOS so that the HARD drive is recognized?

    My hard drive is MK2023GAS and is not broken. There is nothing on this HARD drive.
    But also with the disk hard 10 GB of origin, I had the same problem.

    I hope you can help me and once again I apologize for my English.

    Hello

    I'll try to help you my friend.

    > When it is started is says "insert the disk in the drive system. Press any key when ready
    This message appeared on my laptop after the HARD disk is dead.
    I had to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the operating system.

    I guess that it of the same problem with your laptop. The HARD drive is not present or not recognized, and you will need to install a compatible HDD for the operation of the OS.

    I have google a bit and discovered that this laptop comes with the 10 GB HARD MK1016GAP of Toshiba drive. It supports the interface ATA-2/ATA-3/ATA-4/ATA-5.

    Please note that many BIOS have a limit of size of HARD drive. This means that not all HARD drive sizes are supported! I assume a 20 GB should be compatible, but this is just my own opinion
    > How can I change my BIOS so that the HARD drive is recognized?
    The BIOS can be modified outside the update (check page driver Toshiba-> Archive-> archive of Satellite).
    But vary important is that you use a compatible HARD drive.

    > Can someone help me with the recovery CD?
    Don t know if you will be able to order this CD at the service provider allowed in your country, because the laptop is really an oldie. But you should ask the guys.
    What you is to install the OS from the Microsoft CD-ROM and then could install drivers needed.

  • Hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS - Equium A60

    Hi hope someone can help. I have a Toshiba Equium EA60-173 and the hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS. When I remove the hard drive and put it in another laptop it is detected fine. I also tried another hard drive in the Toshiba and that does not work either. So I suspect the IDE controller has disappeared, but can I do to confirm this? I wish there was an option in the BIOS to force detection. I updated the BIOS but still the same.

    This laptop is only just out of warranty, so if it is the controller would I need to replace the motherboard? Are there other options at my disposal?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Neil,

    Unless there is some physical\problem with the cable/connector hard drive, then it is most likely that you will have a new mainboard for your laptop. I suggest you to contact an authorized service partner and ask them to check your laptop and give you an estimate of the cost of the repair. Then you can try to shop for less expensive alternatives.

    Kind regards

  • A SSD from OCZ Agility 3 disc works with a dv9700T? Mine is not recognized by the BIOS.

    I bought a 120 GB OCZ SSD Agility 3 disc to install in my laptop the dv9700T CTO.  The drive is not recognized by the BIOS when it is installed in the Bay of 1 or 2, but is recognized when connected via USB as a secondary drive.  The drive works fine in a different computer, so I know the drive works.  There seems to be a problem with the SATA (ICH8) controller.

    Someone at - it any information on that?  Would love to get the drive works in my laptop.

    Thank you.

    If you have a HARD drive installed in the secondary Bay and the OCZ SSD in the first Bay, the dv9700t starts and works very well.

    After the upgrade to iOS 10 on my iPhone 6, is is no longer recognized as an external drive by my Win10Pro x 64 laptop on USB 2.0 or 3.0 port. New cable is used to eliminate that as a problem.

    Try opening the iPhone before connecting to Windows. If the film is not empty, then the device should be listed in Windows Explorer. If it still does not show try to restart the computer and the device, and then try again. If it does not show more in iTunes then try iOS device is not showing in iTunes for Windows.

  • I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  As one

    I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  So when you try to synchronize the pictures, they are all removed from the ipad and trying to reinstall everything again.

    This may or may not work immediately.  In my case, only half the photos have been installed, and then the error message came that the rest of 9000 can be installed.

    I contacted Apple support team who has made various suggestions.  Subsequently clicking on a photo list in iTunes were all going again and pictures of 9000 then installed.  When I asked the support team what could happen I was told that it was a "glitch".  I don't like seeds they mean that there could be an error in coding somewhere.

    Here me again.  I use an iMac and iPad.  I don't know why XP and iPhone came.

  • TV not recognized by the server-> 40L 73

    Hello

    My problem is already listed on this forum but I can't find a solution or explanation.

    I recorded with a Toshiba account in order to use the "smart" features of my incl. TV services VOD as Maxdome etc...

    Whenever I push the button 'cloud' I get the message: "your TV was not recognized by the server. Press OK to re - connect to the server... »

    When I press OK, it will start to accept T & C, privacy, user name, password, etc... The connection will work with my current username and password...
    But unfortunately he will not stay for the next time.

    Call the hotline they suggest to send the unit for repair... I can't believe that there is a problem with my TV... But server.

    Any suggestion? May be related to an IPv6 Internet connection?

    In addition, even, I would say I'm a fan of Toshiba, my TV's performance are simply bad. When I have the cloud works, it takes two minutes until Maxdome should be started.

    And can someone tell me WHY I need to get into the clouds to access my saved content? Or Media Player? This content "offline" should be much more quickly accessible.

    Thanks for your help and your comments in advance.

    Maybe you should just a few solutions of circumvention of the Commons:
    First, you must set the default TV.
    Then configure the internet connection once more and then try to connect to the cloud to accept all of the terms and conditions, privacy and other things.

    By the way: you should also check if your firmware is up to date. This can be checked here:
