Satellite A60 does not detect Toshiba MK4025GAS HDD in BIOS

Hello

I've tried everything (updating the BIOS to 1.9, put a rider that cs, remove the DVD-ROM), but without success (by the installation of Windows XP, I see that drive, I can format it and copy the installation and startup system files failed).

What is furious that this disk HARD 100% ok and work on Toshiba Portege 3500. I also tried an another HDD (60 GB IBM) to A60 and work correctly. Any ideas or is it just something religions?

Best regards
Oleg.

Hello oleg

This HARD drive is listed as compatible for this model of laptop, and it should work properly.
One thing I don't understand. In the topic, you wrote that A60 cannot detect HARD drive but if I understand you right, you have access and you can format the HARD drive and also to start the installation of Windows XP Home edition.

Can you please be so kind and explain exactly what is wrong with the HARD drive.
HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS?

  • My Satellite A60 does not detect the WLAN

    Hello

    I just bought a SA 60 128 used laptop. I checked in many ways, if this system has a built-in Wi - Fi connection. I tried to look for this model on the internet to get the setup but I couldn't. Now I use a USB adapter to connect to the wireless network.
    Please help me with this.

    @razan
    Why get you on the net for information if the phone card WLan or not. Simply check the Device Manager and see if the wireless network adapter appears or not.
    In any case, the WLAN USB key is not a bad solution.

  • Satellite L655 - does not detect the webcam

    Dear forum,

    I am new user of the Satellite L655... I just got about 1 month ago. I don't know why, but I can't use my webcam. Whenever I try to use it for Skype or yahoo messenger, it cannot detect my webcam.

    Is something wrong, and what should I do? Can someone help me solve this problem?

    Thank you for your help,

    Best regards
    Yogi...

    Hey Buddy,

    What happens if you start the webcam software? It recognizes the webcam?
    Important point is that if you want to use the webcam with Skype or other programs, webcam software shouldn't start because the two programs try to access the webcam. So close to first the webcam software.

    Last but not least, I would recommend reinstalling the driver from Toshiba Web site:

  • Satellite M40 does not detect the battery

    I formatted my laptop and installed xp and I have problem with battery
    The Device Manager shows that without pilot and don t see autonomy and no change when you plug in the power adapter.

    Is there a driver for the batteries? Or if windows detects

    > Is there a driver for the batteries? Or if windows detects
    Are you serious? You need a battery driver?

    Sorry, but buddy I first heard about this driver there is NO driver battery and you don t need these drivers.

    The battery should be detected automatically by the operating system.

    If you want to see the battery in the taskbar, then I recommend that you install the Toshiba Power Saver. The energy saver must switch to the battery during the passage of the AC adapter in and out.

  • Satellite 4100xcdt does not recognize HARD drive after update BIOS version 8.20

    My laptop is a satellite 4100XCDT with windows xp and I want to install linux.
    Have the cd bootable linux (tested on other computers) but laptop doesn't not boot cd shape so I updated the bios with version 8.20 from the toshiba support site.
    Tried the disks formatted 1.44 and 7.20 such as recommended in the manual of the 4xxx series. BIOS has been updated successfully

    Result: after pressing the switch of the usual screen Toshiba appears, after the disc hard led flashes for a few seconds then windows except modus menu appears. After I made my choice (all tried) a few seconds later (and hard drive led light) flashes a blue screen (not enough long to read the message) and the computer is restarted. When starting from a back bootable floppy, I can't reach the (cd rom) drives (hdd) C and D
    But in my opinion that Windows Save menu modus is called from the hard drive (so I think that the hard drive still works)

    Hello

    Well, in my opinion a part on the HARD drive or bootable partition might be corrupted.
    You are right, if the windows save mode appears therefore HARD drive has been recognized by the BIOS and the HARD drive is bootable.

    I think there must be something wrong with the data on the HARD drive.
    Something similar happened on my laptop several weeks ago. After you use the chkdsk/r, I was able to run the operating system again. But then I installed everything again.

    On the Toshiba page I found the companion disc.
    The accompanying disk is capable of detecting your CD-ROM drive on the
    Toshiba during the boot process. If you need access to your CD-ROM
    Hunt, then delete "rem" Word the following lines in the Autoexec. BAT
    and CONFIG. SYS on the accompanying disk.

    REM if exist toscd001 a:\mscdex D:TOSCD001 /M:10 (AUTOEXEC. BAT)

    REM device = a:\toscdrom.sys (CONFIG. (SYS)

  • Satellite A300 does not start after extinction during the BIOS update

    Hello

    I tried to update the BIOS after reading a TOSHIBA TEMPRO alert, after some time, apparently not run so I ran a second time, then both ask of BIOS appeared in the taskbar only and it froze while I did not start the upgrade or anything like that I had to the power off.

    I tried to restart, but now, it just on the screen stays black (the monitor is not powered, as if the system was not running), all LEDS are powered with flashing 'drive access', the led on the DVD Player keeps flashing making a noise every 3 seconds or more.

    I read on the forum that there may be no solution but to take it to an authorized service provider but I'm willing to take any possible solution before you do.

    Thanks for any advice.

    Alex.

    Hi, mate

    Unfortunately, you need to be reflash the Bios as something that went wrong during the update. You should contact the Asp and ask them to reflash. There is no other way to get your laptop to work.

    Good luck!

  • Re: Hitachi Drive Fitness Test (DFT) does not detect the HDD on Satellite A660

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 PSAW3C-047017 with a HARD MK6465GSX Toshiba drive. After experience, some consecutive failures of start-up, I was told on the Toshiba forums to use Drive Fitness Test (DFT of Hitachi).

    I burned the ISO to a CD and booted from it (I must press F12 for boot options and select the optical drive), which is to run successfully. However, it does not detect my drive HARD - the list is empty.

    Is there something I need to do to make visit to DFT?

    I cannot commend this third part software features, but I want to know if you still have these failures to start your portable computer satellite?

    What's the problem?

  • Satellite M105-S322 - HDD does not detect

    My laptop does not detect the hard drive. I press F2 to go into BIOS and it says hardrive No. I reinstalled the hard drive, but it still says the same thing. I have test the SATA hard drive on the desktop and it detects its.

    What seems to be wrong? Help, please.

    > I have test the SATA hard drive on the desktop and it detects its.
    This looks like your HARD disk on the motherboard controller is faulty
    But before that you exchange the motherboard but I would test another HARD drive maybe the HARD drive is faulty and will recognize only on certain computers or mothers.

    If a new drive HARD doesn t work too, your motherboard needs to be replaced.

  • Cannot install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HARD drive

    Hello

    My HARD drive died, so I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660 - 1 9 to an SSD.
    I made a USB bootable with Win8 and starts very well.

    The problem is that it does not detect my SSD, so I can proceed with the installation.
    SSD appears in BIOS but not in Windows Installer.
    He said that there is a missing driver.

    I downloaded the AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even in this case, after you have selected the only rider that appears, it says no new device found.

    I tried to change the SATA from AHCI mode to compatibility mode and it's the same thing...

    What can I do?

    Thanks for the help.
    Best regards
    Bruno Moreira

    More old Windows XP need a driver AHCI Intel's but I think this isn't a problem with SATA driver missing because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers to recognize the SSD or HARD disk drive.
    In addition, the installation of the OS should be possible even if the driver would be added for this procedure, you must use the "compatibility" mode
    As you say, the compatibility mode is not working too, so I think there is another problem.

    However, page driver Toshiba also provides a driver Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) (Windows 8 - updated) you can try to add during the installation of the OS.

    But I m wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
    Have you tried to format the SSD using a different computer, then install Win 8?
    Give it a try.

  • Satellite 2800 - BIOS does not recogize Toshiba 40 GB HARD drive

    I have an old Toshiba S2800 (if-200 questions in total). He was works very well with a 10 GB HARD drive for ages. Yesterday, I thought that putting his hard drive to a bigger.
    Removed the old and installed a new hard drive, Toshiba MK4026GAX. On the power on the BIOS does not detect the HARD drive at all. I can hear the humming noise (platter (s) rotating), but apart from that, there is nothing. The BIOS indicates disk mode HARD is "unused" and also on page 2 is none shown on the primary hard disk IDE channel. (tried to boot Linux from a CD to see if who sees anything on the IDE channel, but apparently the primary IDE channel is disabled if the BIOS does not detect a master or a slave connected device). Change the mode of the master to the slave na HARD drive? t change a thing.
    The BIOS version is 2.00. Tried to find an older one without success.

    I thought that the BIOS has a limit of 32GB, but when I connect a 120 GB hard drive (WD scorpio), it has been recognized by the BIOS and the PC was ready to boot from the device.

    I would have thought computers laptop Toshiba were at least compatible with another device (e.g. hard drive) Toshiba

    Someone has any idea how to operate?

    Thanks in advance!
    Robbie

    Hello

    It of very strange that the 120 GB HDD has worked on your old Satellite 2800 unit.
    I know that the BIOS would not recognize these large HARD drive sizes.

    In any case, seems the purchased disk is not compatible with your laptop and you can buy one that is supported.
    I discovered that the 20 GB HDD MK2016GAP could be compatible
