• 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.

  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.

  Hello

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

• Satellite 1800-712 does not recognize my USB external HARD drive

  Hello

  I would really appreciate the help. I own a satellite 1800-712. I have receently bought a usb external hard drive for some extra memory (IE Toshiba MK4026GAX USB Device)

  When I connect it to my usb port it records any with the computer. The green light so there is power to the hard drive. The usb ports recognized of other fine features (a modem and memory stick)

  I tried the external hard drive on a desktop pc and it works fine.

  I have downloaded all windows xp service pack updates and updated my bios. Don't know what to do now.

  Please help and thank you in advance!

  Hello

  Although sometimes, I know that the OS is not able to recognize the external USB device, because the device external USB (HDD) consumes more energy than the 500mA.
  The USB ports provide 500mA power and if the device needs more power so it s is not possible for the Windows operating system to recognize the external device.
  You have an external power supply for the USB HDD? You should use it.

  Good bye

• 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!

• Satellite L350-170 does not restart after cancellation of HARD drive recovery

  I tried to restore using the hard drive option but then change your mind so I click on the Cancel button.
  He returned to the toshiba logo screen, then a screen came to say the start menu at the top and underneath it says I use the restore disc to install the operating system. But I did no.

  That means there is nothing on my hard drive?
  More and I have loast all my persoal data or that he is at - it another way to restore with out the disk all the there was no indcation of light for the hard drive.

  Hello

  It looks like the master boot record was for damage caused by the departure of the HARD drive recovery procedure.
  I think you can get the laptop works only by using the procedure of recovery of HARD drive again.
  You must press F8 after turning on laptop. Then choose fix my computer, then choose recovery Toshiba.

  I hope it will work
  By the way; Why you didn t create a recovery disk? It is strongly recommended in case something goes wrong with your HARD drive.

• Satellite A210 - BIOS does not work after upgrade

  Hello

  I have a satellite A210-17 for a few years now, but I made the mistake to go to the Microsoft Web site
  to make a BIOS setting to day and once I installed upgrading BIOS, that the laptop did not return ever on, black screen.

  I brought a guy in the month city 3 or 4 he is, he said, it could replace a bios chip if necessary
  but did nothing or I would have heard of him now.

  Is it possible that I can get the bios chip and have him install for me?
  I don't have 200 euros to replace the whole motherboard.

  This laptop was brilliant before that.

  Thanks in advance

  Update the BIOS is a very serious procedure, and the use of fake and not compatible BIOS would damage the motherboard.

  To be honest, I don t think that the replacement of the EPROM would help you that of course, the BIOS is stored on EPROM module but in most cases this chip is soldered to the motherboard and the EPROM replacement will not be easy

  To my knowledge the EPROM module could be flashed once more using the crisis disk BIOS and the special procedure. Usually, these updates of the crisis of the BIOS can be done by maintainer authorized Toshiba and that don t require the replacement of the EPROM module.

  I also read in this forum that some guy tried to Flash the EPROM module to clean hands in some cases, it worked, but in different cases such update does not work correctly

  However, I recommend you to use the advanced search option forum and check a few different discussions on crisis disk BIOS / update

  Otherwise I recommend you contact the Toshiba ASP in your country and products BIOS Update of the crisis

• Satellite P200 - BIOS did not recognize my usb 3.5 drive "

  Hello
  I have a few years ago:
  Satellite P200-1FY
  Reference: PSPB6E-0QR035FR

  I just bought a new hard drive WD20EARS (2 TB) 64 MB of RAM,
  and I connected on an external box<-> SATA USB3 (closed hot 'cc'), so plugin on my toshiba via USB (USB2.0 card)

  I partitioned the drive with 2 parts (1 part FAT32 (enabled): 930KB and 1 NTFS 1, 89 GB)

  * My problem is :*
  I am not able to detect the drive by the bios (bios updated with 2.7 "bios - 20110124131826.zip"), in order, starting with partition FAT32)

  tests I've already done :*
  (1) connect this drive (WD20EARS) on a PC: HP 6530--> result b: drive is detected by the bios, it is impossible to boot the disk
  and the operating system is started correctly

  (2) plug in sametime a usb2 startup key and the disc--> result: WD20EARS disc is displayed on the selection of the bios (sometimes)
  but it is impossible to start on it. When I select the drive, the USB is booting

  Could you help me find the problem (bios, disk or box usb3) or have you updated to solve

  Kind regards

  Stand by.
  BIOS cannot detect the external HARD drive? You want to start OS saved on the external HARD drive? Is this correct?

  Tests 1 and 2 are related to this HP laptop?

• Satellite L655-149: recovery does not work with the new HARD drive

  Satellite L655-149

  PSK1JE

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (factory installed)

  Recovery of HARD drive on drive D (factory installed)

  My old toshiba (MK5065GSX) 500 GB hard drive became too noisy and slow so I plan to replace it with the new drive hard toshiba (MK5059GSXP) 500 GB.

  I created USB Flash HARD drive recovery.
  When the installation is complete and Setup installs devices an error "Windows Setup couldn't configure windows to run on a hardware on this computer.

  I've updated the bios
  I loaded by default in the bios
  I changed the SATA AHCI mode to compatibility IDLE

  assistance in this regard will be highly appreciated

  Set the BIOS to the default settings and try again.

  With the installation of recovery, there is a problem: either it works or not. If this isn't the case, bad luck and the only solution for you is to order original Toshiba recovery DVD on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  By the way: do you use that stick of recovery for the first time?

• Satellite Pro 6100 Wireless does not work after restoring from HARD drive

  After that restore disks for installing a new HD and use and to update XP sp2, the Wireless does not work and if the card is installed XP hangs then works in fits and starts. If the card not in place, not bad at all.

  Booting from a Linux CD, the card works perfectly! I assume that the driver is the problem. The wireless card is the original, an Agere MPC13A-20/R, with Toshiba p/n PA317U-1MPC.

  I have found some drivers Agere, but am not sure

  (1) if they are correct
  (2) how to install since the machine works in a way limited with the card in place.

  Any advice?

  Hello

  I checked the page of the pilot and the only available for Windows XP WLan driver is the driver of v.1.11.108 Agere.

  (1) just try to install this driver. If the driver is not correct or is not compatible, then windows will not install the driver and you will receive a notification. You just have to try

  (2) generally you may reinstall the driver from the Device Manager. Open network controller tree, and then you can reinstall the driver.

  But this is only possible if the windows started successfully

  PS: Have you checked the information of Microsoft Windows XP SP2 update on the page of the Toshiba driver.
  I discovered that you need to update several utilities if you have installed SP2 on this laptop.

• Satellite L30: CD player does not work with the new HARD drive

  Hello

  Just bought a new drive to HARD drive of 250 GB to transform my L30-115 has a home server.

  My problem is when both the new HARD disk drive DVD/CD-RW drive of origin are inserted into L30, the computer crashes and I can not even get into the BIOS (I have the latest edition).

  However, when I disconnect the CD player, system boots fine in a system of operating "plain" (command-line only) - BIOS recognizes very well and everything is fine. Idem: as I disconnect the HARD drive and connect the CD player, I am able to work (for example with a live linux system).

  The question is: * how to install a Windows operating system to a new HARD disk drive *? There is no option to boot from USB. What else can we do? I'm not going to invest more money into this old machine. I would like to install the Windows Home Server in there. There is no need to use the CD player later (all other operations will be performed by the network).

  Person not answering, so I'll do it.

  I was able to boot from USB external floppy drive, so the solution is to boot from external CD drive and install the system.

  It is not an exact solution, because the internal optical drive must be removed, so I'm looking forward to see updates to the BIOS level or other solutions for Toshiba.

• L855-135 satellite display brightness does not work using the new ATI driver

  Hello

  I just bought the L855-135 with a Radeon HD 7670 M and wanted to update the graphic with map
  the last driver AMD. After that, I realized that the brightness setting didn t work anmore. So I uninstalled
  the new driver and installed again the old driver from this site. Now, the brightness setting works fine again but I Don t really want to get stuck on this older version of the driver. Its around the age of 8 months. Before I bought my laptop I've never heard their update policity. Can someone tell me when they intend to update their-own-amd-drivers toshiba? I really want some new drivers but I Don t want to lose the ability to adjust the brightness. For me, it's a reason to give the laptop back, but I like really this laptop with the exception of its own pilots.

  Can someone tell me how long it will take to get a few new drivers? And I mean not more recent that the 'old' but still 6 months of NEW drivers.

  Thank you.

  > After I realized that the didn t of brightness adjustment works more. So I uninstalled the new driver and installed the old driver from this site again. Now, the brightness setting works fine again but I Don t really want to get stuck on this older version of the driver.

  I found another thread on the same topic.
  It seems that the command buttons FN brightness don t work using the NON-Toshiba graphics card driver.

  You know this Toshiba page graphics card driver is a driver updated, created and configured especially for models of Toshiba laptops.
  This driver supports protection against overheating. Other drivers don t

  However, it seems that there is no other solution than to use the Toshiba configured and modified drivers.

• computer does not start with attached external hard drive

  I have the 4540 s if an external hard drive is connected, it will not start.

  I have the internal hard drive set as master boot.

  The message that appears indicates Press esc, to enter the boot options, but which does nothing.

  I spent an hour with hp support-useless.

  All advice appreciated.

  Not sure what you mean about the reference of the warehouse.

  I've updated the USB ports and that solved the problem.

  Thanks for the reply.

• Portege M400: Windows XP does not recognize the 160 GB HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Portege M400 with Windows XP Tablet Edition. Now, I bought a new 160 GB drive. This disk can be recognized within the location Phase Installation of XP. Do I need a new driver?

  Best regards

  Karl Weber

  Hello

  You have to install and include the Portege M400 RAID drivers.
  It's a bit confusing because little protégé M400 does not support 2 HARD drive, but the RAID driver is required.

  Please check the Toshiba European page and download the RAID driver. During the installation of XP her you have to press the F6 key to include the driver from an external USB FDD drive.

  After you have included the don t RAID driver format HARD drive because this will lead to the driver losing.

  Best regards

• Tecra M9 - does not recognize the 320 GB HARD drive

  Hello @ all,

  I tried to install the HARD drive, but it seems to be not recognized by the BIOS. Any chance to get this problem resolved?
  With Acronis Disk Man. I get an error message: No. HDD installed!
  BIOS version is 1.80, HARD drive is a Seagate ST9320421ASG (Momentus 7200.3 320).

  Thanks in advance

  Hello!

  Have you tested the HARD drive in a laptop or in an external enclosure? Maybe it s faulty.
  Or you test another HARD drive in this notebook.

  Normally a 320 should work in Tecra M9.
  There is a new version of the BIOS on the Toshiba, but I doubt that the problem of the article, but try to update.

  Good bye
