• Satellite Pro M70 does not see HARD drive sometimes

  Help me!

  My computer does not see my hard drive but see Installer and another computer.
  My hard drive is working and I put the new drive hard but computer does not see.
  And when I install XP on the computer I can see HDD format during the installation.
  And when prawns my computer I do not see the HARD disk again.

  Help me please

  Hello

  I think that it s a HDD issue naturally it s really strange that the HARD drive is different sometimes and sometimes it s is not visible, but I doubt that it could be software related issue. That's why I think that it s a drive HARD and in my opinion, you should check if other HDD SATA runs correctly.

• Portege M400 - Windows 7 does not see HARD drive

  Hi, I have the problem, I am trying to install Windows 7 on my M400, but he didn't see the hard drive.
  The hard drive is surly ok, ' couse I tested it in the other netbook, I can see it in the BIOS, but any program installation can not.

  (I tried both Ubuntu and XP Tablet Edition)

  Hi Radzik,

  I think that Windows doesn't see the drive HARD due missing RAID drivers Windows needs of these RAID drivers before you can install it because it doesn t contain these drivers for the disk HARD is not recognized. You can download the RAID driver from Toshiba Web site.

  You can then create a new installation disc using nLite with drivers or copy the drivers on an external floppy drive. Start Windows XP after you press F6 to load drivers from floppy drive.

  Check this box!

• Satellite 4100xcdt does not recognize HARD drive after update BIOS version 8.20

  My laptop is a satellite 4100XCDT with windows xp and I want to install linux.
  Have the cd bootable linux (tested on other computers) but laptop doesn't not boot cd shape so I updated the bios with version 8.20 from the toshiba support site.
  Tried the disks formatted 1.44 and 7.20 such as recommended in the manual of the 4xxx series. BIOS has been updated successfully

  Result: after pressing the switch of the usual screen Toshiba appears, after the disc hard led flashes for a few seconds then windows except modus menu appears. After I made my choice (all tried) a few seconds later (and hard drive led light) flashes a blue screen (not enough long to read the message) and the computer is restarted. When starting from a back bootable floppy, I can't reach the (cd rom) drives (hdd) C and D
  But in my opinion that Windows Save menu modus is called from the hard drive (so I think that the hard drive still works)

  Hello

  Well, in my opinion a part on the HARD drive or bootable partition might be corrupted.
  You are right, if the windows save mode appears therefore HARD drive has been recognized by the BIOS and the HARD drive is bootable.

  I think there must be something wrong with the data on the HARD drive.
  Something similar happened on my laptop several weeks ago. After you use the chkdsk/r, I was able to run the operating system again. But then I installed everything again.

  On the Toshiba page I found the companion disc.
  The accompanying disk is capable of detecting your CD-ROM drive on the
  Toshiba during the boot process. If you need access to your CD-ROM
  Hunt, then delete "rem" Word the following lines in the Autoexec. BAT
  and CONFIG. SYS on the accompanying disk.

  REM if exist toscd001 a:\mscdex D:TOSCD001 /M:10 (AUTOEXEC. BAT)

  REM device = a:\toscdrom.sys (CONFIG. (SYS)

• Satellite U300 - Windows XP does not see HARD drive

  Hello

  I've updated the BIOS with the latest version, I've built a floppy with the SATA drivers, none of them work, XP Setup is not able to recognize the HD.

  Surprisingly enough the BIOS SATA mode option can not be seen.

  Any idea?

  Kind regards
  Lionel.

  Hello

  Not all BIOS contains the SATA option!
  In your case, I recommend the construction of a new CD of Windows XP by using the nLite.
  nLite is a free tool and allows you to include the SATA dirvers in the Win XP CD!

  Then you can use the new XP disk to start and new installation of the OS

  Search here in the forum! There is enough discussion on this procedure

• Tecra S1 - Bios does not detect HARD drive

  Hi, first time poster, long drive date.

  I have a friends laptop with me an old S1, its hard drive has failed. (Even tried it on my USB adapter to diagnose).

  I had another IDE HDD which works like a dream.
  I can even install Windows up to a point with the exception of when the computer wants to do the first restart of the second phase of the installation. (Not on CD).

  In the bios the HARD drive is not detected a 0 MB for the read command.
  I tested the USB HARD drive. So works perfectly. will try another hard drive there tomorrow see what is happening.

  I tried the recovery CD aswell. But she also can not detect the hard drive.
  Finally, I even reflashed the Bios even if it was the last version 2.50.
  Still did not change.

  If I'm just at a loss here. Tomorrow I'll do the following.

  Try a 3rd HDD IDE into the machine.

  Opening of the case and see if I can find the CMOS battery to replace or remove for a minute or 2 to see what is happening.
  Is obviously a problem of bios of the HARD drive is detected. Has anyone ever encountered this before?

  Windows / ERD Commander / Partition Magic 8 all finding the end hard drive.
  Thanks for listening to my dribble that I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall being close.

  Kind regards

  Dave

  What drive did you use and what size it it?
  I think that not all HARD drive would be compatible because of the 28-bit LBA.

  The 28-bit LBA supports hard disks up to 128GB and if the IDE controller supports only 28-bit LBA then it may happen that more large drives would not be recognized by the BIOS.

• Satellite A30 does not see other devices in the wireless network

  I recently bought a Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card, I installed and was able to recognize my broadband, but he does not see the other network devices. I have not provided with drivers or software for the operation of the card (I bought a decent retailer). Can you recommend me to downloads that would be this card?

  I have a laptop of Satelite A30 1 GB ram 60 GB HDD.

  Large files sometimes also stop transfer (crashes) when you use my USB connection. The usb controller uses the driver microsoft 5.1.2600.0 dated June 1, 2002.

  Is this a driver problem?

  Hello

  If the wireless network adapter is properly installed if you have not configured you.
  I put t know which devices in broadband services, you want to say but generally if you want to communicate or transfer files between laptops through the WiFi network so all the computers must be in the same domain or workgroup.

  I can't give you a correct answer, but only a suggestion. I have red that sometimes a lower potency could be responsible for this show. Try turning off the safe power option in the properties of the hub USB root in Device Manager.

• DV8-1200CTO does not recognize hard drive 2 TB

  Installed a new hard drive 2 TB. Time 8.1update Windows 64-bit and windows 7 ultimate 64-bit won't recognize the new drive. A disk initialized for mbr on another computer. Disk formatted and reinstalled on laptop. Windows disk management does not display the drive.

• Cannot install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HARD drive

  Hello

  My HARD drive died, so I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660 - 1 9 to an SSD.
  I made a USB bootable with Win8 and starts very well.

  The problem is that it does not detect my SSD, so I can proceed with the installation.
  SSD appears in BIOS but not in Windows Installer.
  He said that there is a missing driver.

  I downloaded the AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even in this case, after you have selected the only rider that appears, it says no new device found.

  I tried to change the SATA from AHCI mode to compatibility mode and it's the same thing...

  What can I do?

  Thanks for the help.
  Best regards
  Bruno Moreira

  More old Windows XP need a driver AHCI Intel's but I think this isn't a problem with SATA driver missing because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers to recognize the SSD or HARD disk drive.
  In addition, the installation of the OS should be possible even if the driver would be added for this procedure, you must use the "compatibility" mode
  As you say, the compatibility mode is not working too, so I think there is another problem.

  However, page driver Toshiba also provides a driver Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) (Windows 8 - updated) you can try to add during the installation of the OS.

  But I m wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
  Have you tried to format the SSD using a different computer, then install Win 8?
  Give it a try.

• Satellite A205-S5880 (PSAE3U) downgrade Vista to XP - does not detect HARD drive

  Hi all
  I got this hair loss situation, I had a satellite A205 - S5880 (PSAE3U) and decided to downgrade to XP, I got all ready drivers for XP (I have the EMEA support site and the wireless from a Czech website), I have my windows XP SP2 g CD and I get after loading everything Since the CD that my HD is not detected or not recognized and it tells me to make sure I have connected (I know I do).

  After doing a search of loong on the web, I discovered I have need the drivers (or something like that) to my HD which is a Hitachi HTS542520K9SA00 ATA Device (200 GB, 5400 RPM, SATA). My bios won't let me put my SATA to IDE (or something like that) also to update and nothing, please I need my Windows XP CD to read my HARD drive, and I can take care of the rest (at least I think so, otherwise I'll ask again: D).

  I also found that I can watch my motherboard chipset for motherboard for my HD controller, it ' s (i think) a toshiba ILHAM v1.00 or Intel Crestline - GM GM965.
  Maybe this info also works: Intel ICH8M

  Hello!

  You will find hundreds of discussions here in the forum about this, if you install Windows XP and Vista from a Microsoft disc and the HARD drive can't be detected... So he s strange to read these questions again and again.

  However, to install Windows, you need the SATA drivers or let's say the Intel Storage Manager package. It contains the driver you need. You can then create a new installation using nLite [www.nliteos.com]
  Or look you at this Toshiba document: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9401AN0000R01.htm

• Satellite Pro A10 does not start (HARD drive seems to be missing)

  Hello, I hope someone can give me some advice on this problem: I have a 2 years Satellite Pro A10. Recently, it starts not at all and I noticed that if I look at directories on the C: drive using the command prompt, it said "file not found". Cannot start Windows at all, not even in Safe Mode.
  Using the recovery disks is I help spread messages as no such fixed disc and 'Extraction impossible '.
  is - that say I have:
  1 a hard drive damaged
  2. defective connections on the HARD drive? -If Yes, how I fix that?

  the system didn't crash before it happened, she doesn't have to load up when I started it.
  Would appreciate any help.

  Thank you
  SCL

  Hello

  Well, it could be a hardware malfunction of HARD drive. Yes, it is possible. But I don t think that there is a bad connection. You used this HARD over the last two years and you n t change the settings of connections on this HARD drive. Is this good?
  If it possible s so I suggest you of to completely format the HARD drive.
  Then try to start the recovery procedure.

  However if the HARD drive has a functioning default (ie. crushing of the head), so the only way is to replace this device.

• Satellite P25 - DVD-R/RW does not work, the reader does not see the drive

  I have a P25-S609 player gave me problems since it was a new computer. He totally went out then, I replaced the Multi-lecteur with a new FW UJ - 811 t and the thing still does not.
  DVD-RAM fuction is has never worked. I tried different disc and now the new drive.

  I am really disgusted.
  Help!

  Hello buddy

  > the player gave me problems since it was a new computer
  Can you please tell me how old is this model of laptop? It takes about 5 years now. And after a long period of time, you come to the conclusion to exchange the optical disk drive. Strange!

  Anyway have you checked the compatibility with the FW UJ-811 t? the assignment of PIN on all optical disk drives is not the same.

  In any case for DVD - RAM features, you must install driver DVD-RAM. I ve used a long time ago and DVD-RAM P20 worked very well.

  I put t know if the same is available for the models of laptop computers in the United States but check it please United States support page under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modSel.jsp

  Good luck!

• When changing the 80 GB to 40 GB HARD drive, Satellite M40 does not recognize the drive

  Hi all

  Thanks for coming in! :)
  I recently source two-disc 40GB 2.5 "IDE and intended to run one of them in my Satellite M40.

  The problem starts here:

  (1) I took the original 80 GB hard drive & install the 40 GB hard drive
  (2) start and put in the Toshiba M40 recovery disk
  (3) display screen 'Y' for recovery blah blah blah thing...
  (4) then the screen shows 'cannot be installed because no hard drive found ".
  (5) I boot in the BIOS using F2-> F1, page 2 shows no hard drive

  (6) I try to use my own CD of Windows XP Pro, same thing (as in no hard drive found)
  (7) and the BIOS too show no hard drive found

  The two disk 40 GB is out of mobile work and they formatted it, partition deleted with NOTHING on it. They have also been tested on other PCs (using the converter) using WXP. Two of them work very well!

  Now, the weird thing is that I just can't make it work at least in the Sat - M40. Why is this? Toshiba locked the M40 being one Toshiba-disc is usable?
  Is there a place to get through it? Hidden BIOS?

  I have fixed a large number of PCs, but I can't with this, Please HELP...
  Any response would be appreciated, thanks! :)

  Hello

  The M40 should be able to use 40 GB hard drives with no problems.
  But you must use hard drives with the right interface.
  To my knowledge the M40 supports hard drives with an interface IDE (ATA-6).

  So be sure that your 40 GB HARD drive supports it.

  By the way; Check if your HARD drive supports the good master or slave definition.

• 15 - f039wm: BIOS does not detect hard drives until it performs a diagnostic search

  I was handed a 15-f039wm laptop to watch and I recognized immediately the hard drive was bad, complete failure - no detection and would not pass the built-in diagnostics. I have removed the drive from the laptop and confirmed that the car was bad on a separate system. I ordered a new drive, went with an SSD and put the new drive of the laptop. I checked the cable was sitting correctly on both ends and for good measure he reinstalled on the motherboard as well as on the drive itself.

  Then I tried to re - install Windows 8.1 with the laptop provided with Bing, but when it came time to select the hard disk in the Windows Installer screen, no disks have been detected. I tried to load the drivers for the drive recognized, but nothing has worked. I then tried to start other diskettes of Windows (7 & 10) and the same problem arose, no drive detected. For fun, I loaded Hiren's Boot Disk and tried to see what I could do, and oddly enough the drive detected several times.

  Then, I decided to go back to the integrated diagnostic tools (F2 at startup) and see what would happen. Hard drive has been detected and passed the Quick Test. I have a Windows install CD in and after that I left the screen he ended up launching the installation disc. I decided to try just a new set of drivers to see if the disc could be detected, but that the disc was already detected and just sitting there, ready for the installation of the software.

  I have installed 8.1 on it and did the upgrade of Windows 10 to the owner and I noticed something serious.  Whenever I restarted (key here being a full reboot), the drive was not detected and I would get an error in DEVICE of START-UP INACCESSIBLE when he tried to load Windows. I ended up to play with the drive and launch the troubleshooting menus command prompt.

  I tried to run diskpart, and when I typed "list disk" inside diskpart and he told me that there are no drives found. Large.

  I took once more apart from the laptop and reinstall the drive again and the same problem happens again. This is where it gets a little weird. I ran Diagnostics on the hard drive again and just canceled check out out and Quick Test and let it boot. It starts very well.

  I thought so at this stage it is a bug in the BIOS or something and decided to flash F.25 Rev.A to see if that would help. No, the problem persists after BIOS update flash. I decided to just go ahead and order a new cable to see if the cable is the issue. Is there anything else I can try? Anyone have this problem, it is rather strange to me, and I saw a lot of machines to act strangely.

  So, to summarize:

  Hard drive is not detected at least that I force diagnostic analysis of any type on the hard drive and come out and let it boot.

  What I tried:

  New hard drive

  Reconnect the hard drive

  BIOS settings - boot order, security keys allowed Secure Boot on / off, Legacy Boot on / off, (there no option of detection or ahci in the BIOS).

   

  Many windows install environments, non-windows - disk environments is ever detected by the BIOS, I guess

   

  Flashed the BIOS updated

  Reinstall Windows (back to 8.1 with Bing and question persists, persists on Windows 10 institutions)

   

  DiskPart on Windows Installer (shift + f10 - prompt "diskpart" command, then in diskpart: 'list disk' which wouldn't say no disk).

   

  Ordered a new cable (pending on this one)

  What gets me, is that it works whenever I have diagnostic scan before starting. Every time. It fails on a restart cold without doing so. I looked on the Board for the damage of physical strength and the liquid, but do not see anything to really. I'm guessing that it was abandoned. Any ideas on what else to try? I'm running out of ideas on this one.

  Try the new cable, but I think you look a very bad mother board it.
