  Hello world.

  I am currently trying to install a new HARD drive in my notebook of 1800-712.
  I'm having a few trubbles as my Satellite won't start with my new HARD drive.

  Any suggestions on what I need to do to make it all works?

  I guess that the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive because of the size.

• Satellite A55-S106 does not recognize the 160 GB HARD drive

  I replaced the 60 GB IDE HDD in my laptop Toshiba Satellite A55-S106 with a 160 GB one of Western Digital.

  I've restored a Ghost 10 image to the new drive on a hard disk external. The computer still recognizes only 60 GB. Belarc and HD Tune to see a 160 GB drive, but show the volumes as being only 60 GB.

  Disk management Windows show 93,16 GB as unallocated.
  I am running Windows XP SP3.

  Someone at - it ideas? The BIOS can be crippled somehow? I can't find anything in the BIOS that seems to address hard drive size.

  I started directly on the Ghost recovery CD after installing the new drive. Should I have formatted, it firstly somehow? Here I used the original recovery CD to recover everything first and then restored the Ghost image?

  I put a 160 GB drive in an old 1999 Dell desktop running Windows 98 and no problems like that. It is hard to believe that a laptop from 2005 would have this problem. It is, however, my first attempt at using a version of Ghost Windows hard drive recovery.

  > I started directly on the Ghost recovery CD after installing the new drive. Should I have formatted, it firstly somehow?

  Yes, I suppose the HARD drive was not formatted in NTFS file format.
  This is why I would recommend booting from original Toshiba Recovery CD and then check if the HARD drive has been recognized correctly!

  Please check first!

• HP 6120 t BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller

  Hello

  HP 6120 t (vista) BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller. The other SATA disk and the DVD player came with the machine.

  I hooked my old 200 GB Hitachi drive via the controller. I also put the jumbers in the present as a slave. I also took the original WD drive and just connect the IDE hard drive. BIOS do not show any drive at all.

  I would try something possible at this time I have a lot of my data on the old disk.

  Thanks appreciate any suggestion.

  Try to enter the BIOS and I believe under change of Advanced menu of SATA to IDE or Enhanced.

  You need to do when you install Windows XP or you will get a blue screen and it does not start.

  Don't forget chang back when you put it in your drive home hard sata.

• Satellite A200-1AE does not recognize the USB 2.0 flash drive

  I have a problem because my satellite A200-1AE with Microsoft Vista does not recognize the USB 2.0 flash drive. He asks me a program/software!
  The same USB works without problem on other computers with vista!

  Someone knows what to do?

  Hello

  First of all, you must disconnect all USB devices and must remove the USB ports and controllers in the Device Manager.
  After this procedure, you must restart the laptop. After a new restart the Vista operating system should recognize the USB ports and should reinstall USB drivers again.

  Then you must update the Vista to the State! All fixes and patches must be installed. Please note that you will have to visit the MS Update site for all patches

  Notes; MS has released a beta of Vista SP1. I installed it on my laptop and it has solved several problems.

• Windows 7 64 bit does not recognize the USB external drive HARD Stor E art 3.5 "

  I buy the art external disk HARD Stor E 3.5 "and spend a few days in windows does not recognize the HARD drive. Try to connect the drive to other USB 2 ports and nothing happens. Use a USB to see if has been a problem with the USB ports, but all 3 are OK. Try it on the laptop Asus and windows 7 recognizes the HARD disk. I formatted the drive in NTFS FS. In managing records do not show the external HARD disk. What can I do to fix this?

  My laptop is a Qosmio F60

  This is a really silly situation. It can be recognized by other laptops but not your Qosmio.
  According to the description of your HARD drive when connected simply doesn t exist for your Qosmio laptop.

  Some other HDD is recognized correctly?
  What you can try is to reinstall the chipset driver, restart the laptop and test it again.

  Since when you have this problem? Some installed updates of the last days?

  Hi @db69613,

  Welcome to the HP forums! It's a great way to engage, ask questions and find resolutions by working with specialists from the community of HP. I understand that you need assistance with your desktop computer HARD drive that is connected to your laptop via the USB port. I'll be happy to help you with this.

  I'm just surprised at the levels of technical knowledge and technical skills that your possession. Hats off to you for this. It was very clever of you! It has been a privilege to have shared this platform with you and work with you.

  First of all, programs of a different version or windows session will not work on another computer as it was installed on the computer of origin at this time. It is an installation and application software, to the difference of the data or information that is accessible by any computer when the hard drive is connected. It is because no software installation binds the application of this specific operating system installed on this specific to the time machine.

  If the computer does not and the hard drive is accessible, all the content (such as music, photos, videos, and other information are accessible), but the programs have been installed originally are not available and will not work on any other computer when it is connected to the outside.

  However, if the hard drive works fine, windows is correctly installed, then the same hard disk can be installed on another PC of office and some of the programs should work ideally.

  I hope this helps! Please let me know how it goes. I really hope that the issue is fixed without hassle.

• Laptop running Windows 7 does not start if the external hard drive is connected

  I know what is already on a thread, but here it is again (i.e. thread became uncontrollable anyway and did not offer me solutions). I have an ASUS K53S laptop computer Series and use it as a desktop PC. It sits on my desk and never move, I plugged my larger screen, a keyboard and mouse, printer and external hard drive that I keep all my information on i rarely save to local disk. These things represent more than ports USB to the laptop, I have a hub 4 ports on there also. It is just background information; I mean, the laptop is a must.

  Here's the problem: when I start, as I do every morning, I used to see ASUS inspire Innovation - first of all, persistent Perfection for about 1 second, then the laptop will just get on the job and complete its start-up in about a minute (including login). Which was very good until a few days ago when things started slows down a bit, then I rebooted as I always used to with my Windows XP tour. All closed but return is reactivated and it hung on the opening screen of ASUS and show no signs of getting further. I went outside and continued on another work that does not need a computer, thinking that if I ignored it it would be bit go further, but I came back hours later to find that it is always locked.
  Well after a little, I took the plug my external hard drive, and he continued to start where he left off, like nothing had happened.
  This settled this possibility, but before that, I had established a thing; I need to connect my external hard drive before starting, otherwise it wouldn't connect properly.
  When I managed to finally get both going at the same time (Yes, after some persistence, he recognized the drive but I still would like a solution to this when it exists), I looked at the hard drive and all my files are corrupted or something. photos are not valid, some files that I know to have files in appear them as empty and I can't make any sense at all. Is there someone out there who has had this problem before and fixed, and if so, how?
  My external hard drive is a Seagate 1 TB, if it helps.
  I really want an answer to this, I have data on that disc that I need and I'm not.

  If the problem affects only one PC it says its something specific to this PC.

  Is there traces of yellow warning in Device Manager?

  At whatever it is updated / installed on this PC before this problem, or run a maintenance utility?

  If there is no warning of the Device Manager, then if you perform a clean boot PC http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 NB this isn't the manual method the Fixit which helps?

• Windows 7 Pro Backup can not see my USB external hard drive.

  This seems to be an old problem, maybe someone has a solution:

  I have a Toshiba 150 GB NTFS USB 2.0 external hard drive I used as backup when I had XP, but now I have W7 Pro 64-bit (SP1), and the backup program is unable to see the player.

  It shows in Explorer, it works very well, has write permission, but is not in the list of Backup Options.

  Player is 18 months old. W7 found and installed the USB driver for it.

  It is wired, I don't have a network.

  In addition, Windows cannot format the drive.

  I changed the drive letter of that W7, named F to Z, no go.  All I see in the backup is C and the DVD player.

  It has been suggested that I have uninstall all the drivers USB and reboot and let Windows reload them, but I have a keyboard and a mouse USB, so if I do that has no way to control the computer.

  How can I make the visible external drive for the backup program? Any help is appreciated.

  I use Ghost on my 8 month, Toshiba Satellite L755 and have never seen a conflict.  I also have it on 3 desktop computers.  For antivirus I use AVG free on 3 systems, Symantec SEP on that and Norton Security Suite on the laptop (which I get for free from Comcast).  The only thing related to security, I see in the menu start from Ghost 15 is a small window to give people access to Ghost.  He also built in the feature called Threatcon, which I've never had any message of.  Here's the info of the construction in the help.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  On Symantec ThreatCon

  ThreatCon is threat of Symantec early warning security system. When Symantec identifies various threats, the ThreatCon team adjusts the level of threat. This adjustment gives people and adequate warning systems to protect against attacks and data systems.

  When you activate the trigger of Symantec ThreatCon to a selected backup job, Norton Ghost detects changes in the threat level. Your computer must be connected to the Internet, at the time. If the ThreatCon level is reached or exceeded, the backup operation in which you have enabled Symantec ThreatCon is started automatically. You have then a recovery point to use to recover your data to your computer should become affected by the latest threat.

  Note:

  If your computer is not online, then it is not sensitive to online threats. But if you connect your computer to the Internet at any time, it becomes vulnerable. You don't have to enable or Disable Symantec ThreatCon when you go on or off line. Works if you're online, it doesn't matter if you're offline.

• Historical files Windows 8 will not recognize the new external hard drive

  I just bought a new laptop (Sony Vaio) with Windows 8Pro (System op 64-bit, Intel I7, 1THD).  One of the reasons is that I have approached Win8, is I liked the concept of the new 'File History' backup utility  I started to use the computer with an ext WD My Guide of the HD and the history of the files seemed to work.  Then the drive external hard went wrong and I just bought a new WD My Passport 2 t ext HD.  Historical files will not recognize this drive.  He keeps asking the old drive.  When I attached the new drive and go to the screen "Select drive", it says "no usable drives are detected.  Please connect a drive... "I know that the drive is there because I see under 'My computer' and I can copy files to it.  But the history of the files do not recognize.  WD, I called and they helped me to update drivers and even made a update firmware on the drive, but nothing is done.  I tried several fixes suggested in a few links Microsoft 'how file history works... '. «, «What to do if the file history works more...» ", etc, but all without success. The tech also remote BestBuy Geek squad my computer and tried EVERYTHING and could not get it to succeed.  BTW, it's not the HD post because put us on another computer to WIN 8 and Hx file found immediately.  Tech people thought that it was a deep registry with Win 8 problem and their only suggestion was to reimage my computer with the original recovery disk.  But who is going to cost me an arm and a leg.

  I'm not very tech savvy, so I know there must be something very simple, I'm do wrong or overlooking and I hope that some dear soul on this forum or someone from Microsoft can give me an idea or two.  Thank you very much

  I was having this same problem, but then noticed a presentation text easy to miss in the historical files tool that says that the disc "cannot be a part of a library" or something like that. In my case, I had files on my external hard drive that have been included in several libraries... and none that I really used, so I removed the files (and deleted the libraries for good measure). A fast system restart later, and my player does not appear.

  I don't know why MS did not propose it again for this thread as the more obvious thing to check, but there you have it. Something simple and quick to check that could save you some frustration.

• Satellite 1800-712 does not start - DC IN flashes orange

  Hi all.

  My toshiba laptop Satellite s1800-712 has suddenly stopped working. Whenever I try to turn it on, I get the following blink code that repeats on the DC-IN power icon.

  The icon flashes orange in the following diagram. 1 short, 1 long, short 5, 1 x long. Anyone know what this means?

  If it helps, I use a TPA90DC APC travel power adapter PSU (as my original toshiba one broken. The APC unit is located at 15V.

  I think it's a hardware failure, but that's all that can be easily fixed? I opened the laptop a few times to replace the CPU and clean, but I don't think that the fault is negligence on my part because I always open it in an antistatic environment. To be honest, this laptop to cost me too much money in modernization and if this fault is something that requires expensive repairs, I can just sell it for parts.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Hi Mary,

  The blink code is used to locate the real failure so that the repair technicions knowing where to start checking for problems. Unfortunately these codes are published not generally then I suggest that you call a Toshiba authorized repairer and ask their opinion on fault. This way you do not have to engage in costly repairs until you know how much they are likely to cost.

  Kind regards
