• Satellite Pro A200 does not recognize the hard drive, XP Pro

  When I try and load XP Pro SP3 (32 bit) it will not install because it doesn't have SATA drivers. I downloaded the drivers and have an external floppy drive to install drivers by pressing F6. My question is the machine is listed as 64-bit and XP Pro is 32-bit. Choose the drivers ICH8M 32 or 64 bits. IE is the 32 or 64 bit on ICH8M see hardware or operating system. Computer's Satellite Pro A200 PSAE4E-01700WEN.

  Any help appreciated

  Hello

  If you are using the 64 bit OS, then also use 64-bit drivers.

  Hello!

  Recently I buyed a new satellite Toshiba A205-S4777 with Windows Vista home premium installed
  and I noticed too many errors in Windows Vista and the pc is very slow so I decided to downgrade to XP

  I want to directly install Windows XP but the installer does not recognize the hard drive or more exactly controllers!

  I nLite Sata drivers in Windows Xp Sp2, I bought on the microsoft.com site!

  Everything worked well.
  The Installer recognized fine hard and Setup finallased!

  But here's the problem when loading windows and try to pass on gorge yourself sort of blue screen one unreadable!

  And restarts and let, it does all day the same thing!

  I'm afraid that I have not nLite the right drivers.

  Is there anyone Heve downgraded this model?
  Thanx

  Hello

  Maybe you did not use good SATA driver?  :| Who knows
  The point is that there are two different versions of Intel Matrix Storage Manager supports different chipsets.
  I put t know what chipset is in charge of your laptop but you should check this and must also check the description of the Intel Storage Manager and check what chipsets are supported.

  In addition, you should have a look here in this doc from Toshiba:

• Satellite A30 PSA30E - BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive

  Hi all
  I have a Satellite A30 (PSA30E) and I start the computer. When I enter the BIOS it does not recognize the hard drive.
  Does anyone no what I can do?
  Is it possible to restore the BIOS?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You replaced the HARD drive by a new one or the BIOS don't recognize the old HDD?

  Usually if the laptop is not able to start and that the BIOS does not see the old HDD then I guess that the HARD drive is faulty.
  If the BIOS doesn't recognize the inserted new HARD drive and then either you ve bought is not compatible, or the size of the HARD drive is just too big.

  Please provide more info. You see error messages?

• Tecra S3: Installation of Vista does not recognize the HARD drive

  I try to install Vista Ultimate on my Tecra S3, but installation does not recognize the HARD drive.

  I tried to find the driver for Vista for my computer, but not found RAID.
  Tried it with XP drivers, but no longer works.

  Do you have an idea where I can download Vista drivers for RAID?

  THX

  Hello

  Your suggestion is good. The Tecra S3 supports the RAID, and the RAID driver is required to install the OS on the HARD drive.
  On the European driver Toshiba page I found a RAID for XP driver.

  I put t know if this driver will run under Vista, but I recommend to test.
  The RAID XP 1.3.8.0 driver version can be downloaded from this site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

  Please note; You can store the RAID driver on an external USB and Vista should recognize it!

  Good luck

• Qosmio F30 - 112 - Windows XP does not recognize the HARD drive

  Hello.

  I have a Qosmio F30-112.
  I tried to install the Windows XP Professional instead of the Media Center edition.
  However, during the execution of the installer, my laptop does not recognize the hard drive. Therefore, the installation cannot continue.

  I thought it might be a problem of corruption with my laptop and reinstalled Media Center Edition successfully.
  But when I try to install XP Professional it always gives me the same error.

  Suggestions for the configuration of the BIOS or solutions for why this is happening?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Just a question:
  You are looking for in this forum for other similar issues with regard to the installation of Win XP and lack HARD drive? I doubt

  The fact is that your notebook has a SATA controller and you need a SATA (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) driver.

  You should have a look here in this doc from Toshiba:
  [How to integrate a SATA AHCI driver into a Windows XP installation CD | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm]

• Dell Inspiron 531 s problem of power/does not recognize the hard drive

  My Office does not illuminate. I replaced the power supply. No, it powers on but does not recognize the hard drive. It gives an error as SATA 0 None SATA 1 no SATA 2 No. How do we know that the cables are properly connected. I feel like I'm very close to solving the problem but don't have a clue what that next step to follow

  The original PSU had 4 sets of cables and connectors.  The new power supply has 5 sets of son.

  From your post, I guess that the configuration of the system now recognizes the hard drive?

  If you do not have a floppy drive, then BIOS can find the player who isn't there, it returns this error.

  Make sure that the floppy drive [drive A] is disabled in the [BIOS] installation system, page 173, so that it is no longer looking for the disc and see if this stops the error message.

  If the hard drive is recognized in the configuration of the system, he now knows in windows "My computer" or in "disk management, [right click on 'My computer' and select 'Manage', then disk management]."

• Used to boot Windows - does not recognize the hard drive

  Hello. I had my computer laptop vostro dell for 5 years, and I've never had a problem. A few weeks ago, I was starting, and I got the blue screen of death. I had the same thing when I rebooted. I bought a SATA dock for recover my files, so I could format it and start from scratch. However, the dock does not detect my HARD drive, although I hear the disc running. I tried to connect a Dell Latitude docking station to transfer the files, but the Latitude does not recognize my HDD ether. Vostro runs XP Home Edition and Zorin OS, Latitude anime XP Pro. HHD in question is a 120 GB Western Digital Scorpio for drinking devices. Help, please.

  You boot from the disk and choose "Try without Unbuntu and change to your computer"?. Honestly, it looks that you have installed. In addition, using raid with Windows Xp support?

  If you have chosen to 'Try' Unbuntu I recommend now you run chkdsk /r from the recovery console. The problem is not with the hard drive probably, but with the file system.

  Download WIndows Xp Recovery Console from HERE. Save the file to your desktop. You will need to burn the iso image to a blank cd using the same way you did to the image ISO of Unbuntu ImgBurn. Although the instructions below refer to a Windows disk, the disk from the Recovery Console that you create will do the same.

  1. Insert the Windows XP CD in your CD-ROM drive and restart your computer. If you are prompted, select any options needed to start (boot) on the CD.
    
  2. when the text portion of Setup begins, follow the prompts. Select the repair or recovery option by pressing R.
    
  3. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot system, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
    
  4. When you are prompted, type the administrator password. If you have not set a password for the account admin simply press on enter
    
  5. at the command prompt, type chkdsk/r > press ENTER. (Note: there is a space between the slash and the letter k).
    
  6. at the end of the output of scan type > press ENTER.
    
  7 restart your computer.

• NSLU2 does not recognize the hard drive

  Hello

  I have a NSLU2 on Win XP SP3.

  It does not recognize the USB drives, he wrote that 'drive not formatted '. It only recognizes the USB key as "disk2".

  Current firmware is V2.3R29.

  When I try to update the firmware, the "not enough disk space" message.

  I tried the same disc on a different NSLU2 and it worked fine.

  What can I do my NSLU2 reading displays the disc correctly?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Markus

  It seems to be a firmware issue... The V2.3R29 firmware. is quite old. The latest firmware is Ver.2.3R63... Hard reset the NSLU2, power cycle it and then try to update the firmware. After upgrading the firmware, reset it again and reconfigure... Disconnect the HARD drive before upgrading.

• Replacing the hard drive T60 - Windows does not recognize the hard drive

  Hello all, new to the community of Lenovo. I have a T60, but also the latest Lenovo Edge. HD crashed on the T60 and it will boot is no longer. I just bought a 500 GB WD without doing a lot of research. When trying to install Windows 7 (I had already updated the T60) it will not recognize the new drive - Windows does not drive at all. Is there a way to get the Lenovo to recognize the WD drive? Thanks in advance for any help.

  Looks like you're doing something wrong, if the drive is a SATA it should work, install it and boot from your windows installation DVD and it will be the installation drive and shaped for you, or you can optionally set the partitions manually when you are prompted to do so. If you try to do something unusual such as transfer windows on the old drive then you will need to explain exactly what you did because I see no reason it should not work. Infact I did it several times myself.

• L50-B-11J satellite does not recognize the HARD drive connected by USB 3.0

  Hello

  I recently bought a new laptop and install a new legal copy of windows pro 8.1.

  The problem that arises is actually a USB 3.0 port.
  Also, I have a drive external hard support standard USB 2.0 and 3.0.

  When I plug-in the hard drive into a USB 2.0 or any USB 3.0 port (two port supports USB 3.0 is disabled in the BIOS) fine, hard drive is recognized and I can access.

  But, when I plug-in the hard disk into a USB 3.0 port (two port supports USB 3.0 is active in the BIOS) Windows does not recognize it and I can't access it.

  The hard disk led flashes, so it has the power, but does not appear in the devices or Device Manager.
  My opinion is that the problem may be with the drivers for USB, but Toshiba is supported for driver for USB 3.0 for Windows 8.1.

  Then can someone suggest me what to do?

  Laptop: Satellite L50-B-11J
  USB ports: 1xUSB 2.0 port, 2xUSB 3.0 port
  Operating system: Windows Pro 8.1
  USB 3.0 driver: Intel (r) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Control - 0100 (Microsoft)
  External hard drive: support USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 standard

  Intel USB 3.0 driver is part of the 8.1 Windows System... This is not supplied by Toshiba.

  Windows 7 contains no such USB 3.0 driver and so you can download driver Intel USB 3.0 page of the Toshiba driver as well as the Intel download site.

  By the way: try to disable the functionality of sleep & Charge and check how the HARD drive would work.

• Satellite L - Vista does not recognize the HARD drive

  OK, I have spent the last 5 days or more trying and do not install vista on the laptop miserable with no chance and ive finally succumb to ask for help here.

  Does anyone know what driver I need to use to allow Vista to recognize the SATA drive? I got some drivers download Toshiba chipsets article section and put it on a USB key, but they do not work. I get the message "Windows cannot locate the disk media to install windows" or a similar message. If I load all the drivers, then its just total failure - Windows installation procedure says that it cannot find the target medium or such a message. He develops files, loads the files and then stops and gives this message. There are all sorts of other stupid messages that would normally make me want to take the / offending laptop and throw it out the window. Needless to say, has not yet happened.

  Also does computer some odd scratching / clicking noises during installation - it seems to come under the laptop - looks like it's either a problem with the hard drive or DVD drive, or both. I get up then a blue "Material error" message screen of death

  I know it's not nice to go and my error messages are a bit vague (I must have spent countless hours installation and got so many error messages to send me brain dead mode) but thought id just ask to get some ideas - thank you.

  > "Windows cannot locate the disk media to install windows" or a similar message.
  You can install windows without use drivers SATA.
  Access the BIOS and set the SATA from AHCI compatible mode mode.
  This should allow to install the OS

  See you soon

• Toshiba 40L3453DB does not recognize the hard drive Seagate Wireless Plus

  I recently bought a hard drive Seagate Wireless Plus. When I connect the hard drive to my computer, it recognizes it's ok and I downloaded movies, music, etc. on him. However when I connect said HDD on my TV and select the media browser, it comes up with the message "no removable disk is connected.

  I looked online but I could not find an answer for my problem, but I noticed a lot of people talking about the format of the hard drive. The hard drive is underway in the Windows NT file system format.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  There are known limitations when connecting TVs USB hard drives:
  -HDD format is one of them: FAT/FAT32 should work, NFTS (depending on model) probably not
  -in the manual for this model, only the USB keys are hard disks mentioned, none (which require an external power supply).
  USB drives are USB - bus-powered and therefore does not usually cause trouble, while external power supply used by hard drives can lead to problems, this device is not recognized.

  In short: there is not that you can do, in addition to changing the USB device. You can try with the FAT32 format first, but with some probability that also won't work, except for the fact that FAT32 is supported only up to a certain size of drive.
