• Satellite A200 - hard drive not recognized

  Hello. Deploy a satellite A200.

  Original problem would not initialize only power light and hard drive light came on a second, nothing on the screen, not access to the parameters of F2. Reinstall memory, no go, deleted the test and drive hard and read disc hard ok in an external enclosure. With disk hard deleted computer will start after market boot disk and running program diagnosis ok. Can now access the settings of F2.

  Format external hard drive, reinstall and start with the startup disk, hard disk appears in the bios, the test runs diagnostic ok.
  Tried to install Windows XP and XP pro and windows twice starts to install and then comes up with an error saying there is no hard drive present, even if the Bios and a diagnostic boot disk at the same time recognize the hard drive.
  Tried another hard drive with the same problem, not recognized.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  Have you tried to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk? Normally with this record everything should work fine because it s pre-tested and specifically designed for your laptop.
  Check this box!

  In the worst cases, your HARD drive is faulty and you need a new. The HARD drive seems to have random failures.

• Re: Satellite L500 - HARD drive not recognized in BIOS

  Hi guys,.

  Yesterday, my mother-in-law has been using his computer and play some games. The computer froze and I had to force a shutdown. Upon restart, the computer continued to give the following message is displayed:
  PXE - E61: Media control failure, control cable (or something similar)

  I removed the HARD drive and replaced him, with no avail. I checked the BIOS, and the disc HARD is still not save in there, so not sure the hell happened.

  Anyone has any ideas on this? I'm looking at a new HARD drive otherwise.

  See you soon,.

  Nathan.

  Hey,.

  If the HARD drive is not recognized in the BIOS more I think that it s faulty and you need a new. This is the reason why you get up a PXE boot message initially.

  Is your laptop still under warranty? Then you can get a new HDD to an authorized service provider for free.
  Otherwise, you can buy yourself but it s not expensive. You can use each interface SATA 2.5 HARD drive.

• Hitachi Lifestudio external hard drive not recognized on Windows Vitsa... why?

• External Toshiba HARD drive not recognized on USB 2.0 ports, but only on USB 3.0

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba drive external HARD 750 GB USB2.0/USB3.0
  Now, this HARD drive is not recognized on USB 2.0 ports from my laptop (same thing on my desktop computer) but only on the USB 3.0 port.

  I have try on port USB2.0 computers different (desktop, laptop) but it doesn't work. The LED is the lightning, but the drive does not appear in the file Explorer.

  You have any ideas?

  Thank you

  > Now this HARD drive is not recognized on USB 2.0 ports from my laptop (same thing on my desktop computer) but only on the USB 3.0 port

  USB 3.0 port 900mA feeds. The USB 2.0 port common provides 500mA.
  I think that the HARD drive needs more 500mA power in order to work properly.

  So if you want to use the HARD drive on USB 2.0 ports, I recommend you to use a USB Y cable which allows to connect the HARD drive to two USB 2.0 ports

• 3 50 PX1394U external hard drive not recognized

  I recently bought the external hard drive, Toshiba PX1394U 3 50. I followed the instructions for the installation and everything went as planned either he found material etc. and returned with the message of successful installation.

  However, when I go in my computer that there should be an icon for the external hard drive and it does not exist.

  I saw the thread, recommending using REGEN, but this has no effect on the problem - the icon still does not appear in my computer.

  I use a laptop computer from a different manufacture running Windows XP and all updates are loaded.

  I also had the same problem when loading on my desk.

  Any ideas?

  If you get the message installation was successful, you should find the HARD disk in disk management.
  Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management > disk management

  Maybe you first create a partition or format, but normally you will see players all recognized.

• 1.5 TB external DRIVE not recognized on various laptops disk

  Hello

  I was wondering if someone could help me.

  I bought my 1.5 terrabyte toshiba external hard drive just for more than a year. It works fine on my other computer, laptop and cell phone from my boyfriend, but when I joined four other new laptops (all different brands) recently it was not recognized at all on these laptops.

  Is there something wrong with my outside or something on these computers it prevents to be recognized? Do you know how I can fix this problem?

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  And if you connect the external HARD drive to your boyfriend s computer laptop, everything is always ok? Only problems with new laptops?

  Well that s really strange have you tried another USB cable and different USB ports?

  Maybe on the new laptops the antivirus or firewall blocks access to the external hard drive. Check your security software and to allow external devices.

• Impossible to install Win 7 on Satellite C660 - 26H - HARD drive not recognized

  I reinstall windows 7 on a Satellite C660 - 26H
  The hard drive failed on this laptop, so I added a new Toshiba 160 GB sata drive.

  When I try to install windows 7 I get the error message

  "no device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok"

  I get this when I would normally be choose which windows installation disc too. I guess I need driver sata for the laptop?

  Where can I get the driver for this laptop sata?
  Or do I have driver sata for the new hard drive?

  Any help appreciated, thanks!

  Hello

  First check to see if the new HARD drive is listed and recognized in the BIOS. It must appear on the first page of the BIOS.

  If his list, and save the changes by pressing F10 and access to the BIOS.

  I'm not very well if you need the SATA drivers because AFAIK Win 7 should already contain a standard SATA driver from m.

  However, the SATA drivers are on Intel page.
  You should look for Intel Storage Manager.

• WD external hard drive not recognized

  I have a Western Digital MyBook external hard drives.  I bring it with me to different places and one day when I got home I plugged it in my PC and nothing happened.  The HD is no longer recognized.

  I checked the Device Manager and it does not appear there or it appears in the list of devices for the assignment of drive letters so is not the problem.  While he was just USB I could see that the computer has been grateful something was plugged to the USB port, but that's all.  I removed the HD from its holster and hung in to my computer and always directly nothing if it is not a cable problem or power.

  I went to the site of WD and tried their repair program, but wasn't able to only detect the drive either so no luck there.

  I also tried to remove the UpperLimit registry or whatever it's called but there no LowerLimit registry to remove.  I've restarted and nothing changed.

  I'm really of ideas here, and at this point, I want to at least be able to use it again even if it means a complete reformat even if I got a lot of things about what I lose enough.

  You say that is not recognized by your computer.

  And their repair program cannot be found.

  Have you tried to plug it into another computer and see if it is approved by it?

  If it isn't, it is probably the player that has the problem.

  See you soon.

• External hard drive not recognized

  It seems as if my Macbook Superdrive is not recognized by both my MacBook after upgrade to El Capitan.  I took my external drive to the Apple iStore, it has been tested and I've been told that it does not.  Then, I bought a new disc (R1999.30 - a lot of money!), and after connecting to my two computers today, I realized that this new album is also "does not work".  After each update, something that has worked well in the past, does not work. Has anyone found a solution yet?

• Satellite M30-841 - large hard drive not recognized

  HY guys,.

  First of all, I want to say hello, because this is my first post in this forum. Merry Christmas as well!

  I am writing because I bought a 160 GB 2hard disk to replace my old 60 GB. When I troed to install it, I saw that it recognizes just 128 GB which, according to my research, is due to the LBA 48 bit not supported on my laptop (Satellite M30-841).

  I tried to everythingmentioned:
  -J' have flash Bios o update the 1.70 (last available driver toshiba Web site)
  -J' changed the downloaded XP SP3 and I changed the registry to install a key DWORD EnableBigLba.

  However, she still recognizes only 128 GB. I'm losing hope to install the new hard drive. Anyone of you has a suggestion that I should try?

  I realized that I should update the driver of my motherboard, but I don't know where they are, if there is (I don't even know the name of it, despite the use of everest - which shows DMI.

  Am I missing something?

  Thank you very much

  Icemaster

  Look, man.
  The HARD disk controller seems to support the 28-bit LBA.
  The disk controllers HARD supporting the 28-bit LBA address max 128 GB HDD.
  Controllers HDD support 48-bit LBA address bigger hard drives.
  But this is a physical limitation and you will not resolve this update anything.

  In your case, there is nothing to see

• TOSHIBA StorE Art 2 TB external hard drive not recognized by HP Elite /Win7

  I have a new HP Elite desktop computer running Windows 7 Home Edition:
  A few months ago, I bought a Toshiba Store Art HDD Ext 2 to, which until today has worked well. Today, I started the PC in the morning (with no updates of Windows or other software) to find that he would recognize is no longer the Toshiba hard drive. He always recognizes the WD drives and SimpleTech drives when they are plugged. All external drives are powered separately and do not rely on the power of USB.

  I tried the Art Store on other PC and it works fine. I tried to change the cables, the cable works on other players (and other cables will not do this work of Art store). I tried several ports USB 2 on the PC, with no luck * (but all the ports work with other readers).

  I try verified Drvivers of COMPUTERS and MANAGING disks. There is no sign of the disk (not defective disc), it is simply not there at all.

  I searched on the web - try a variety of techniques (disconnect the power PC) and much more. No luck.

  PC specifications are:
  Operating system
  MS Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit SP1
  CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT
  Intel Core i3 530 2.93 GHz 30 ° c.
  Technology of 32nm Clarkdale
  RAM
  3.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665 MHz (9-9-9-24)
  Motherboard
  MSI 2A9Ch (CPU 1) 38 ° C
  Graphics
  HP L1906 (1280x1024@60Hz)
  ATI Radeon HD 5450
  Hard drives

  Optical drives
  Device USB WD virtual CD 1110
  HP DVD-RAM GH60L
  Audio
  Realtek High Definition Audio

  Works well with all other readers. and it worked with Toshiba until this morning.

  Clues?

  Thank you

  I put t really know what can be the problem.
  If everything worked a few days previously, first try to make back the OS using System Restore tool just to see if this will help.
