• 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

• External hard drive is not recognized

  My external hard drive is not recognized by windows, the led lights up but no display on 'my computer '.

  Try it on another computer, if it doesn't, it could be a bad cable or hard drive box. Use a different cable or an enclosure.

  If it works on another computer, on your computer check the disk, if it is displayed in computer management. In Explorer, right click on "Computer", click 'manage '. Under computer management, storage, click on "disk management". If it is showing a right click on it, click on «Change drive letter and path...» ", click the"Edit"button and then assign a drive letter.

  Or if the reader is displayed, you can check in the Device Manager. In the device under Universal Serial Bus controllers Manager looking for the drive generally a mass storage device, right-click on it, uninstall and then restart. If does not uninstall everything under USB controllers, then restart your computer.

• 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.

  Greetings

• New 500 GB HARD drive is not recognized correctly

  What is happening, I replaced the drive HARD than Go 150 original after about 18 months, again, now a year later, that the drive seems to have died too, so I bought a new seagate 500 GB drive HARD for it, the BIOS said it s it, but vista CD dies just when it is trying to install, CD WXP can t see the drive at all, but I expected that when WXP is older , but Vista I expected to work.

  So here's the thing, I put the new HARD drive in my desktop PC and he found in the BIOS no worries, then I started the Vista CD and again no probs, Vista installed without worries, then I put the HARD drive in the lappy and once again he can t read it, so it s not a Vista thing , it seems that it s the lappy itself

  Is this a problem with the Toshiba BIOS, or is it a physical problem where the Toshiba is struggling in reading ANY player?

  It s driving me crazy.

  And what model of laptop do you have?

  Generally upgrade HARD drive should not be a problem. I assume that your laptop's HARD drive with SATA interface and I sure you bought the right of Mr. I've upgraded or because of the experiences on several laptops equipped new hard disks and all of them were still properly recognized and I was able to install original Toshiba Recovery (recovery DVD) on this subject image.

  Maybe you have an older model A200 and perhaps he has some compatibility issues with new hard disks. I will be 100% sure works perfectly with HARD drive up to 300 or 400 GB maybe.

  Do you use Toshiba Recovery for the Vista installation disc or original disc of Microsoft?

  BTW: WXP is unclear due to lack of driver SATA HARD drive.

• My HARD drive is not recognized by my PC (it was previously connected to a MacBook)

  Hello

  I plugged my WD HDD (model WD2500ME-01) to a Black MacBook and it was recognized as a 'Time Machine' drive.
  Now I plug it to my PC (Windows XP Home Edition) and the drive is not recognized, no 'letter' is not assigned to the player. Drive HARD watch as "healthy (protection GPT Partition) under 'computer management' window and I can't assign a letter on the HARD disk."
  I don't want to format the drive, I just need to save some files to it (a few concerts info).
  I was told that the use of a "Data Disc Recovery Tool" that reads the GPT Partitions will help me.
  Is there a way to 'Windows' to save the files?
  Thank you
  Nahuel.

  Hi NahuelEscobar,

  Hi Pam,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft community!

  The external hard drive is not detected.

  The problem may occur if the drive letter is not affected or the hard drive is not enabled.

  What is the model of the unit?

  To check if the drive letter is affected or if the disk is turned on, I suggest you follow the steps in the site:

  You can use nLite software to create a new XP CD and include drivers SATA (Intel Storage Manager) on this new CD of XP.
  The nLite is a freeware software and you can find and download from many Web sites.

  Google is the key ;)

• C50 - D satellite - external hard drive is not recognized

  Just Satellite C50 D but are unable to read or recognize my LaCie hard drive.
  As it has all the data from my old computer, it is rather important. Can someone provide help and advice on the way to a) the disc or b) transfer all data in the memory of the laptop

  Thank you very much
  A  :-)

  Hello

  The laptop supports 1 USB 3.0 port and 2 USB 2.0 ports.
  I recommend you connect the external HARD drive to each port (USB 2.0) and USB3.0 just to check if it is not a compatibility problem. But generally, it shouldn't be a big problem to connect a USB 2.0 device to a USB 3.0 external.

  However, it could also be that this external HARD drive needs more than usual 500mA power supplied by a USB 2.0 port. In this case, you must use a USB cable to Y to connect the HARD drive to two USB ports.

• External hard drive USB not recognized by Win XP Satellite

  My Satellite S105 running Windows XP Professional SP3 works well with any external SSD.

  Yet my external USB hard drive from Seagate Freeagent is visible sometimes and not others. The Seagate works very well except when it is invisible to Windows. Removing the drivers USB (re-installed by windows) does not change this. The drive is not visible in my computer or elsewhere. Dirve of Seagate Manager does not detect the drive in these moments there.

  What is the solution?

  Thank you.

  I guess that other external USB devices (USB flash drive key, mouse, etc.) are working properly and don't disappear in my computer. Is this good?

  This means that this issue has nothing to do with the laptop or USB ports for s laptop but with your external USB HDD.
  A maybe it's some kind of problem with the USB HDD. ?:|

• Satellite A200 PSAF6A - Vista now does not start

  A200 PSAF6A - 02C01N Vista built-in HARD drive recovery

  My friend used this PC and she just closes without warning.
  Vista won't start now... Turn it on and it starts to load then apparently hangs on a blank black screen just before the Welcome screen.

  I tried to use Linux to access the drive to get its stuff out before you reinstall, but several different versions of Linux can not install Windows.

  I tried the system recovery running now the 0 key during startup, then releasing 0 when the pc started to beep.
  Starts the recovery of loading, then the screen goes blank for a while, then rises... error... F3-F000-0001 error code... Press ok to reboot.
  Press ok, error message will... screen is blank... drive hard HDD light shows work... but it is not closed.

  Tried to launch a drive to reformat Vista. Boots in the disk, loads the files then crashes, just like the original problem, on a white screen.

  Tried the XP disk running... works well until it gets to the part where you choose where you want to install... and said... cannot install on this pc it is no hard drive!

  Tried formatting disk with Gnome Partition Editor... It hangs in the review of the disc.

  I think the next thing to try is to throw the thing out of a tall building and see if it can fly...

  Anyone got any ideas?

• Satellite A200-PSAF6A - white screen, will not start

  I've had for about a year or more now, out of warranty, and I had no problems so far. The operation of the machine is perfect, done a little warm here and there, but I never had blockages of material etc. The problem lies in the boot process where it lights up but the screen remains black and the HARD drive activity light flashes once, the optical reader clicks like it normally does at the start, and all the normal power supply/battery lights are as they should be, but the laptop will not progress beyond that. The power led remains blue and there is not much activity from the hard drive or any part of the material. This not even the screen of the BIOS at all. At some point, which I suppose because I can't see a pattern emerging in any form, the laptop will emit several beeps and the HDD led starts to blink signifying a boot up is ongoing, but the screen remains blank. At this point, if I turn off the laptop holding the power button / I am sometimes able to start with the display work, but once these things are depend on chance then sometimes it works and sometimes it isn't. Is that a real problem for me because I use this laptop for school and I get sometimes it will feed any or he will, and I'll have to wait a certain amount of time, which could be easily half the class and when he does the beep hard distracted others which is quite annoying.

  Now, I went through a lot of similar topics and tried what was said, but to no avail of course. I tried to delete all the components (RAM, HDD, optical drive, Wifi etc.) and reinstalling them that sometimes only a temporary solution. In the RAM slot I have 800 mhz and 1x1GB 667 mhz-1x2GB, I tried various arrangements with the installed RAM and RAM I have around my house, but I have not yet come to a solution. I find that I can't start up with RAM in just the second slot, I guess it's probably normal, but if it's not please comment and tell me otherwise because I read about another solution to a similar problem a person should use the ram in the second slot to get his laptop to start.

  My suspicion is that it's to do with a kind of BIOS check or maybe a BIOS corrupted, that I could not resolve without a technician because I am already in the current version of the BIOS. I did not update the BIOS that is not. If not then I'll assume that it is just a fault of power on the motherboard circuit. It's a really weird problem because it works quite well after, and I don't think it's a hardware problem perfectly serious because he wouldn't if it was.

  Any help is appreciated on the topic, share your knowledge, if you have had a similar problem because whatever it is would be useful

  Thank you

  I'm not 100% sure but I think that the graphics card can be removed. Maybe you have enough experience with replacement of equipment, but laptop disassembly without maintenance manuals can be risky.
  I really hope you know what you're doing. Maybe you should contact the nearest authorized and ask for help.

  BTW: Where you want to get the new graphics card Satellite A200?
