• 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?

  Hello

  The disc hard does not respect or have failed.

  / Settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 then watch the display as you launch - set the initialization order on CD/DVD so he can
  boot on the CD/DVD and hard disk to boot to that. If you set it on a CD/DVD don't forget to return to hard-
  driver when finished.

  Try these from a Vista startup disk command prompt - type each at the prompt and press ENTER after each.

• Dell Vostro 430 sometimes breaks down and does not find the hard drive in the bios

  So I have this old - ish Dell Vostro 430, intel cpu, windows 7 hard disk sata 250 GB, 4 GB of ram.

  Update BIOS to the latest version 2.4.0

  In certain exceptional circumstances, this PC sometimes crashes in windows, it is restarted, and then when he comes back it does not find the hard drive as a gift. He is not seen in the bios and does not start.

  To fix, I have to unplug the power cable, wait a few seconds, plug in, reboot the computer and it starts normally, load windows and everything.

  So far, I have tried to paginate on another hard disk, reinstall the Windows operating system from scratch, and same thing happens from time to time.

  It is difficult to find the cause of the problem, because this happens very rarely.

  Sometimes, when the pc is turned on for the first time in the morning, the hard drive is not found by the bios and we reappear at the same trick (disconnect the power cable) to take him back.

  When it crashes when using inside Windows, it seems that the reason is the computer can't find the hard drive.

  Such computer is out of warranty.

  It would be nice to just throw this computer because it is still fine for the work it has to do, + I have Windows and Office OEM license on it, as well as many other software that I have to reinstall etc.etc.

  No idea what I could troubleshoot?

  Maybe change the motherboard? How can I buy a new motherboard for an out of warranty Dell?

  While possibly keeping all the OEM licenses (Windows 7 and Office 2007).

  .. .once in a while...

  That will make hard to resolve this situation.

  • Have you tried to replace the battery in the motherboard, if nothing else than to exclude it? CR2032, 3-volt lithium-ion, ~ $2 at discount stores. Do not forget to open the BIOS Setup and copy down all current settings first because remove battery BIOS resets the default values, which is maybe not correct for your specific system.
  • Have you tried another SATA data cable, or reinstall the existing at both ends?
  • Have you reinstall RAM and PCI card in their slots?
  • Have you used canned air to blow out the dust?
  • Maybe a power supply problem... ? If insufficient voltage, he could not start the HARD drive quite fast at startup, or quick enough after your option settings to be able to turn the HARD drive off when it is not accessed, what may cause this error message 'not found '.
  • If you use a power strip or surge protector, have you deleted and the PC connected directly to a wall jack?

  If it is a motherboard defective and you replace it with another jury of Vostro 430, you shouldn't have any problems with Windows or Office licenses. Assuming you are using Windows Dell reinstall for exact same version of Windows drive that was installed at the factory, it should not even ask the product key, if you must reinstall Windows on the HARD drive. But even if she asks, there should be a sticker somewhere on the PC with your unique product key so you can enter if the installer made the request.

  and make sure you have the Office product key too...

• Install XP: Setup did not find any hard disk installed

  I have this old computer. When I try to install Windows Xp, it says that Setup did not find any hard disk. I have readers of diskette and cd on the computer. A source told me that I need a SATA RAID driver until I do.

  Windows XP
  AMIBIOS
  MSI

  Correct, you will need to download the appropriate TXTmode drivers and put them on a floppy disk. If you have a MSI motherboard in your system, you will get these drivers from MSI.

  It would be also possible to get Windows to load with a change in your BIOS settings, but I recommend that get you the correct drivers.

• Airport utility in windows 10 detect but wireless internet does not detect the hard disk, how to do?

  Airport utility in windows 10 does not detect the hard disk, how to?, the Office detect wireless internet no hard drive.

  What hard drive? It of a time capsule, or is it a drive connected to an airport extreme?

  What model number is the most convenient airport?

  Any plugged into USB drive must be formatted FAT32 (no other type of FAT as exFAT) or HFS +, IE standard Apple format.

  In addition, not all drives are recognized.

  The internal drive of the TC must be recognized, but there could be problems as well according to the age.

• Satellite A205: Vista & BIOS does not recognize the CD/DVD drive

  After a crash of the sudden family Vista system premium on a Toshiba Satellite A205 the system does not recognize the DVD CD - RW drive. Neither in Explorer, Device Manager, nor BIOS.

  Laptop is only a few months old.
  Have you tried the Toshiba check system - it ignores DVD disk check.
  Tried Windows Update - does not help.
  Tried registry fix - does not help.

  Cannot use the CD to reinstall all drivers - because it is not recognized.
  The DVD drive LED is on. If the disk looks ok physically.

  Does anyone have an idea what to do?

  Very strange what s
  Try this:

  Access the BIOS and set the default settings and save the changes.
  If it doesn't help then I put t see any other possibilities for contact ASP in your country for a CD/DVD drive control and possibly a replacement

  You said that the notebook is only several months old so I assume that the warranty is still valid and that's why everything has to be done for free

  Good luck my friend

• Satellite P10 304 BIOS does not detect HARD and CDROM drive

  My HDD p10-304 has recently failed.
  I bought a new 60 GB western digital 2.5 drive "and installed today.

  At startup, the BIOS does not detect the drive, but also, it does not detect the CD-ROM drive.
  This makes me think that maybe it's not the player after all, maybe the onboard IDE / motherboard.

  I'm kinda stuck, so it's a new drive should work fine, and I have no way to test the motherboard.

  The only difference is that the insulation on the original drive sleeve should be reduced by half.
  The bit important (low, where the circuits would otherwise affect metal) is always there, it is the
  Few albums I had to remove but that should be no problem.

  Someone at - it suggestions?

  Thank you, Stu.

  Hello

  What happens if the HARD drive is not connected to the motherboard? The BIOS recognize the CD/DVD drive correctly?

  You bought the HARD drive compatible? To my knowledge the Mobile supports a HARD drive with interface IDE (ATA-5) increased.

  But as you said possibly the motherboard failures and he would be advised to contact the technician during a particular test

  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:

• BIOS does not see the hard drive

  For my Presario 6620DK, I bought a Western Digital 160 GB PATA HARD drive, which I want to install instead of the original Samsung SV0602H 60 GB ATA-100.

  Unfortunately, bios does not see the new HD. If I'm on the old hard drive, it is recognized by the bios.

  I have the jumper in the right position for Cable Select.

  What do I have to get new HD work?

  Hi, Arne:

  There is the outside possiblilty of the drive is bad.

  You have another PC, you can test it in?

  You have a 120 GB of HARD drive, you can test in the PC?

  If she sees the 120 GB HARD drive and not 160 GB HARD drive, then you have your answer.

• Cannot start Windows, Windows Setup does not detect the hard disk, Bootmgr is misiing

  I have a few problems on my laptop [Acer 3810 t]

  -The first problem
  My mobile give me screen "cannot start windows' who have 2 choices: run the Startup Repair tool and boot normally. I chose to fix it, but nothing happens and stuck "starting windows" and gives unmountable boot volume 'blue screen '. the Dungeon of blues screen appear (for laptop is a not restart). So I turned off my phone and turn it back on it. the "could not start" screen again and I chose to start normally. but the result is negative. My portable Dungeon cannot start windows. Because of that I am using the advanced boot option and choose all the boot type such asit cannot load the safemode, last configuration etc, but the result is the same, you cannot start windows. in safe mode, its stuck in loading fileinfo.sys. I do not give up to try again with the advanced boot option. until I have a bad situation. My laptop can only 1 file in safe mode and blues screen do not appear again (my laptop only return at the beginning of start or restart)

  -The second problem
  because it cant solved, I want to reinstall my laptop. My OS is Vista 32 bit (pre-installed). I want to install the new operating system, windows 7. I use Dsik Flash bootable USB to install Windows 7. But in the BIOS, it is detected as a USB HDD. So I set my BIOS to load USB HDD to the first order. the installation can be done, but only until the "start Setup" screen and its deadlock. I have it wait up to an hour, but nothing happens. So I'm going to BIOS, change SATA mode to IDE mode AHCI. Then load the USB and go "installation program start screen. but the new problem is the installation of window does not detect my hard drive. So I can not choose the place to install the operating system. I have to load the driver, but I did not. Again to load the configuration to AHCI and IDE, until I get my HDD can detected in IDE mode. So I think I can move easily, I choose custom installation and choose the hard drive to install the operating system. But unfortunately, at the beginning of the process, after choosing the OS, the Installer gives error if installation location the installation failed. (I forgot the error message)

  -The third problem
  So far, I can't spend 'startup begins' as well in mode IDE and AHCI. Also bootmgr in my hard disk is missing, so I can't go to move the startup repair or the startup option in my HDD as before

  What is the error code that you got with blue screen?

  I think that there is a problem with your drive HARD check that by contacting acer...

• Setup did not find any hard disk installed

  I'm trying to re-start Windows XP on a disk (file missing or corrupt ntoskrnl.exe). Whenever I press the 'R' to repair key I get this error message:

  Setup did not find any hard drives installed in your computer. Make sure that the hard drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that any hardware configuration of the drives is correct. This may involve a diagnosis provided by the manufacturer or the installer running. Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3

  Someone at - it ideas?

  Hello

  It is perhaps that the hard drive is not connected properly. Make a person qualified to check the connections of the hard drive to make sure they are solid, you need to maybe disconnect and reconnect both ends of the cable.

  I suggest you return the article mentioned below to learn how to fix ntoskrnl.exe.

  Error message: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem.

• Satellite A210 - FN buttons does not work on Windows 7

  It only works with the action of the num pad, other functions does not work.

  What should I do to make it work?

  It seams that I have problems with the actions of Toshibas tool whitch controls but I can't find name to update...

  Hello!

  I put t understand why Windows 7 is so popular right now it s only a beta version

  However, I think that the reason for this is why no Toshiba tool is available at the moment, but I can understand that because Windows 7 is not yet out.
  You can try to install the package of value added. This is for Vista, but maybe it works also on Windows 7 being the most drivers for Vista works on Windows 7 too.
