• I get error no hard drive detected, so I put in a new hard drive. It does not work. What can I do?

  Windows XP Home Edition on a HP Pavilion zv5405us notebook PC

  Without a cd operation, he begins by saying-

  Intel UNDI, PXE - 2.0 (build 082)

  Copyright...

  For Realtek RTL8139 (X) /8130/ 810 X PCI Fast ethernet controller v2.13 (020326)

  PXE - E61: Media test page, check the cable

  PXE - MOF: Exit PXE ROM.

  And when I boot from the CD of the operating system it is to the point where I choose to install or repair.

  So, if I click on one of those who he says...

  Setup did not find hard drives installed on your computer.

  Setup cannot continue.

  I tried replacing the hard drive, but it was always the same thing, so I put the old one back in.

  I need to find a way to fix it.

  Can anyone help?

  Assuming that your laptop was manufactured after 2003, you can try the HP drive diagnostic tool, but it seems that if you have a more serious hardware problem: cable/connector from the hard drive is faulty or the on the motherboard disk controller has failed.

  You can see also solve the Start Up and No Boot problems checklist but that probably tells you nothing that you have not already tried.

• Qosmio G20-108: RAID-> new HARD drive replacement - he does not want to mirror

  I have a laptop G20-108. The raid was quite happilly mirroring then Hdd2 failed. I removed the disk dirve and replaced by a new one [seagate 100 GB sata 150], but he does not want to mirror?

  The stuff of aide said she should recognize a new hard drive with a context menu? I do not have it, but when you click on the console's hard drive icons both say that they are what they should be, but they are both "affected"? Nine should be disconnected not online? should we not say reconstruction?
  I tried pressing the raid button turn off but it wouldn't let me!

  Help how to leave the raid console know it is a new drive and should rebuild Hdd1?

  Hello
  For the use of toshiba (stripping or Mirroring) RAID, you must have two identical drives. Your G20-108 model comes with 120 GB (60 + 60), two hard drives. If you bought a 100 GB hard drive, certainly it will not work.

  Try this, and you will have no problems:
  Make sure that the disks are identical; You can use two different brands, if they are the same size and speed, but it's a BAD IDEA, just get two new hard drives, same brand and size and you make life simple.

• installed a new hard drive install vista and full custom

  I bought a new hard drive for my laptop and I tried several times to re - install windows vista, I have not yet defined a partition, but I don't think that should affect the initial installation. I can get windows installed the first reboot and after it goes to a screen installation complete and remains on for about 20 minutes, after that I get a black screen with a cursor. I'm clueless as to what is the question.

• had to install the new hard drive, windows key does not

  My hard drive died in my Inspiron 660. I ordered a new hard drive and a recovery Dell USB key. A recovery key for Windows 8 pro based on my recommended by Dell service tag. I installed the new drive and used the recovery key to install Windows 8 pro. I then used a third-party tool to get the product key from the BIOS. The product key does not work. I wonder if the product key on the BIOS isn't for Windows 8, Windows 8 pro. If so, the wrong recovery key recommended by Dell.

  What should I do to activate Windows successfully?

  Secondly, on my old drive hard, I had upgraded to Windows 10 while he was a free upgrade. How to bring back the free update?

  Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 TH1 and TH2 had problems installing specific edition. Your key can be a simple language edition or one with Bing edition and therefore rejected by the installation of the edition of bad media.

  Windows 10 TH2 and later all the windows 8.x and 7 OEM keys are treated as Windows 10 keys. Edition installation specific issues have been fixed with Windows 10 RS1. The file .iso Windows 10 RS1 image is covering several editions. It contains all OEM editions and will automatically collect a key Windows 8/8.1/10 UEFI BIOS OEM System Locked Preinstallation and automatically installs the correct edition of Windows 10:

• Added raw lun mapped as a new hard drive, but VM does not see it.

  ESX 4.0 with two Windows Server 2008 virtual computer running.

  Created with SAN volumes and put at the disposal of the ESX host.

  I went in with my client vSphere virtual machine settings and added a new hard drive > mapped raw lun, stored with VM, physical and everything seems to set up correctly after hitting good. I also increased the size of the other two disks on this virtual machine. I rebooted the VM and connected to the server to find that he does not see the new drive, or he does not see the new size increases for other readers. I rebooted the host and yet, nothing new.

  What have I done wrong? Why these changes are not recognized by the virtual machine?

  After the increase in the size of disk or adding new disks, you must go the the VM Windows disk management and resize or format/partition/boot disks.

• Tecra A9: HARD drive write Cache does not work

  Hello!

  When I try to activate your hard drive write cache, it does not work:
  I can check the box and press OK, but when I go back to the dialog box the box is unchecked.
  The event log shows a warning: "the driver disabled the write on the device \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 cache.

  This slows down my laptop. I don't want to work without the write cache.
  What can I do?

  Greetings,
  Christian

  Hello

  did restart you your machine after checking the box? Usually, you must first reboot the system when certain changes.
  On the other side, you know this microsoft article? You should read:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/332023

  This could probably explain why windows leaves the box unchecked...

• New HARD drive installed Vista 32 bit, but need drivers for Satellite Pro A300-1MC

  "Because my recovery disks that I made 3 years ago does not, I just installed Vista 32 bit and then on the Toshiba site, where I have downloaded all the drivers available for my laptop (a Satellite Pro A300-1MC) on a USB key (that I don't have a driver to connect to broadband on my laptop) and when I tried to open on my laptop a message comes up saying" Please insert the last disk of all selfextracting and click OK to continue. "

  So what I do now?
  Thank you

  Sounds like you have enabled autoplay
  Whenever you insert the memory key USB flash it will try and read the contents of the files on it.
  You can disable this by holding SHIFT when you insert the USB key.
  This should disable the AutoPlay option.
  Then you can go to MY computer in order to access the USB key.

  Note: pilots are zipped so you will need to decompress the content first, I installed a 3rd third party tool called WinRAR to unpack the packages unique.

• New hard drive installed Vista Ultimate, now I can not install my printer - why?

  Computer Dell laptop hard drive replaced (warranty) with Vista Ultimate, I installed Office 2007 Professional disc 1 fine, windows update is fine, but I cannot complete the installation for my Kodak printer disc. Has been given the Internet to install via the internet address - link doesn't work either - drive flashing green bar "installation preparation" then nothing? Link Web shows 'Preparing to install' with a full bar green - then stuck there. A few minutes later, he disappears. Never installed. Do not open the drive or cross the bar - never open the Green window to install. Support Kodak decided that I was missing the .net on pre-installed OS HDD framework files. Enough of 3.45 and 4. Is this correct? Do I need previous versions, or something else is the cause. How can I check to see that all the files are correct and understand WHY I can not INSTALL MY PRINTER?

  Until the hard disk, memory & the keyboard have been replaced by the Dell tech, I had installed and printed on this Kodak printer for 9-12 months. Suggestions welcome.

• After replacing my hard drive, Windows Vista does not accept my product key.

  product key for Windows Vista

  I recently had my hard drive replaced, windows asks now windows vista activation key product but will not accept the key on the label? Ive tried everything but can't accept and follow my last day.

  The product Id in the registry is not that of a my label and the pc will not accept either

  The laptop came pre installed with vista home premium,

  What happens when my time expires and how can they only activate?

  Sidwright,

  I don't advise borrowing software is not legal.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/piracy/MPA.aspx

  Try this instead and explain your situation to a live person.

  1 / click on the Start button.

  2 / in the Search box type: slui.exe 4 and press enter.

  3 / in the find window available for activation phone number, select the nearest location where you lie in the location box. You can click the arrow to the right of the location box to expand your choice of venues.

  4 / once you have selected your location, click Next.

  5 / If the user account control box, click continue or, if you are not the administrator, type in the username and password for permission to continue.

  6 / the window Activate Windows now will appear indicating the phone number you are dealing with a series of installation identification numbers.

  7 / now compose the activation number is displayed on the screen. The phone number is free of charge (telephone), unless otherwise stated.

  8 / you understand that, initially, the line of Activation is Automatic, so you will be asked to enter the numbers displayed on your screen using your telephone keypad.

  9 / once the numbers entered via the keypad of your phone, the automated service will issue you with another set of numbers that you Type in the dialog box that is displayed on your computer screen.

  10 / now you must follow the instructions issued by the automated service to activate your copy.

  11 / if, after going through this process, the activation service informs you that the product cannot be activated and then DO NOT slam the phone down in rage. Rather STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to an Activation of the device, in other words, someone real who will help you to activate your copy of Windows Vista.

  12 / I am aware that these steps can be a pain, but nine times out of ten, Activation is automatic and can be accomplished quite easily on the internet. This is the reason why the service is automated. It is true that sometimes the automatism cannot stop, and when this happens, you are put through to someone who can help you.

• Pre-installed Vista does not work on my laptop

  Hello

  I have a new Toshiba laptop with pre-installed Vista Home Premium. It works just completely.
  My daughter bought it for me from PC World in the United Kingdom and I live in Guernsey.
  All the options of what I do now, as right now I have a laptop unusable.

  I'm partially blind and need a computer to function well.

  Hi Denise

  Have you tried to use the Toshiba Recovery CD and reinstall the entire operating system?
  You should do this.

  On this way you might know if it s a hardware or software problem

  If the laptop will not properly work after reinstalling the operating system from the recovery CD Toshiba then it could probably be a hardware problem.

  If hardware laptop s malfunctioning it s necessary to contact the service provider authorized in your country. Technicians could check all components of the laptop and can locate the fault.

  Good luck Denise
