Satellite U405D CD drive not recognized

Hi all

I have a Satellite U405D - S2852 with Vista o/s. The drive is not seen 90% of the time, sometimes it fits. I checked the device drivers and it tells me that all are in order and I checked the updates and it tells me that the latest drivers are installed.

Any help would be great.

See you soon

Hello

In this forum, it has been already discussed about this. It looks like this

Go to Device Manager and remove the drive from the list of devices CD/DVD.
Then access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Reboot the laptop and wait for the CD/DVD drive would appear once again

Check if it works

  • Satellite M70: HARD drive not recognized external - various XP error messages

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite M70 and I have a Western Digital external hard drive.
    Initially, it worked great, I was able to put my large collection of music, etc. on it and run a computer off to save space on my integrated HD.

    But recently I had problems with XP not recognizing HD or be able to write in it. It appears in my computer, then disappear, often randomly when I write new files to it.
    I reformatted the hard drive to NTFS as it ran originally as FAT32.

    I updated my BIOS as well, but I'm out of ideas.

    Anyone else had similar problems with XP?

    Thank you

  • 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.

  • New DVD drive not recognized on my Satellite Pro 4600

    Hi all

    I recently bought an engraver of DVD in NEC ND-6650 nine.
    This drive is NOT recognized by my Satellite Pro 4600 at all - neither Windows 2000 nor in the BIOS (v 2.60). BIOS updates higher than the 2.60 version are not provided.
    Does that mean I can forget about using the new writer in my old notebook?

    Thank you and best regards,

    Nils

    Hi Nils,

    I suspect that your new drive may be not be compatible with your laptop. Like all scanners to your new drive will be configured as slave or master (or CSEL possible), and this configuration should match your laptop.

    Usually your hard drive is configured as master on IDE channel 0 with optical drive is the slave on the same channel device. However, you may find that your optical drive is configured as master on the IDE 1 channel.

    Normally the setting is preconfigured by the manufacturer so you will need to check both the conficuration of your new drive and the configuration of your original drive to make sure they are the same.

    Kind regards

  • Floppy USB drive not recognized when installing WinXP on Satellite Pro L40

    History:

    I bought a Satellite Pro L40, it came with windows vista. I can't stand vista windows for obvious reasons. so I formatted the HARD drive. I have a copy of windows XP.

    IV ' e read on the internet that I need Intel storage driver manager...

    IA´ve got the driver, he got on a floppy, and it does not, because when I start to install XP, it works (after pressing F6 & choose the driver to install). I come to the part of license agreement, press F8 accept...

    I select the partition I want to use (in format completely on vista). It starts to load more stuff... so he said "PLEASE INSERT LABELD - INTEL MATRIX STORAGE MANAGER DRIVER - DISK IN DRIVE A:" "PRESS ENTER WHEN READY."

    The disc that I used in the first place is always in. when I press on enter, nothing NOT to PAST (the USB floppy drive is not yet into action)

    How can I make it work? It is that I can get.

    I DON'T WANT BACK TO VISTA - HELP!

    This could happen if the floppy USB doesn t drive supports the standards of law. Some people have reported on different websites many floppy drives are not recognized.

    However, worry guy. I have a solution ;) (jeaaa: D)

    Try to create a new XP CD using the software called nLite!
    Then, you could include the SATA (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) driver in this new CD and then you could boot from the XP CD again.

    For details and how to use the nLite please Google because there are a lot of useful Web sites.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A355-S6925 - SDHC not recognized

    My Toshiba Satellite A355-S6925 does not recognize a Lexar Platinum II 32 GB SDHC card class 4.

    My last hard drive crashed and I replaced with a new one and installed Windows 7 from scratch.

    Am I missing a driver or firmware to use the built in reader SDHC?

    Please help, I just bought a camcorder and I want to transfer video.

    Hi michael_fuglas,

    > My Toshiba Satellite A355-S6925 does not recognize a Lexar Platinum II 32 GB SDHC card class 4.
    Hmm, I think that the card isn't recognized due the high capacity of 32 GB. As much I know 32 GB cards are not supported for all card readers

    In your case, I would try a smaller size such as 4 GB or 8 GB. Generally these cards should always work.

  • Satellite A60 - replacement HD not recognized in the BIOS

    I have an A60 which began to shut down and not start.
    I tried to use the restore CD that has reinstalled the operating system, but the laptop still not managed to start after that.

    I suspected that the HD failed and bought a toshiba 40gig drive replacement. I have installed the new drive but and been in the BIOS (F2 and F1), but the BIOS indicates there is no HD installed.

    The recovery CD installs saying there no drive selected.

    Can anyone offer any help or advice on what I can try next?

    Here are some technical details.

    > I have an A60 which began to shut down and not start.
    I tried to use the restore CD that has reinstalled the operating system, but the laptop still not managed to start after that.
    For me, it looks more like an overheating problem caused by the internal temperature.
    It is a typical problem if the cooling fans are clogged and that air can circulate properly.

    > I thought the HD failed and bought a toshiba 40gig drive replacement. I have installed the new drive but and been in the BIOS (F2 and F1), but the BIOS indicates there is no HD installed.
    One of my friends has updated the own Satellite with the new HARD drive and the HARD drive was not recognized by the BIOS due to the assignment of the PIN wrong and riders Check this!

  • Built in hard drives not recognized Mac pro 2010

    Hi all. At work, I have a Mac Pro 2010 tour which has two built in disks, running 10.10.5. Recently, the computer is not recognizing its own built in disks. The keyboard eject button will not open any of them, nor will be the eject option in the menu bar - he thinks that there are no drives connected. It is a work computer, and we'd love to have this feature back. Thanks in advance!

  • 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.

  • Tecra M9-185 - 750 GB HARD drive not recognized

    I have Tecra M9-185 (PTM91E-0G4045G3) with BIOS Version 1.90 dated the 29.02.2008.
    It came with HARD drive of 160 GB, which is quite old and needs replacement. I want to upgrade the HARD drive. I tried to use the 750 GB HARD drive, but it was not recognized by the BIOS.

    Is it possible to upgrade the HARD disk? Is there a limit to the ability of the new HARD disk that can be installed?

    Hello

    Of course, the HARD drive can be upgraded.
    The laptop supports the SATA controller. The SATA controller is not limited to a special HARD drive size of my knowledge. 750Go should be supported too. But it might be possible that the BIOS is not able to manage these dimensions.
    Try a different SATA HDD with the smaller size.

    But question: why you n t choose an SSD (250 GB)?
    I have improved my Tecra A10 with a 250 GB SSD and the performance gain is amazing. The machine is running much faster and quieter

  • USB drive not recognized on the A30-151 in XP

    After a clean install of Windows XP Pro on a Satellite A30 151, a USB device remains in the category 'Other' (after installation of the graphics and audio drivers, modem) for which no driver seems to be available on the drivers CD. At this point, the category "USB" contains four entries, two standard "Universal Host Controllers" and two "OpenHost' controllers, with the default drivers.
    I suspect that the missing device can be a USB 2.0 "PCI controller host improved USB" from another manufacturer, but Toshiba does not offer a driver for XP for it then it should be supported by the OS (?).
    Any suggestions as to what can be and what drivers need?

    It turns out that XP does support USB 2.0 according to the SP1, it seems a pre - SP1 version of XP Pro leads the native Windows drivers is not available. For anyone in a similar situation, it seems as if a) upgrade to SP1 or b) install the hotfix Q312370)

  • HP EliteBook 8730w: replacement of SSD for the boot drive not recognized

    I'm trying to install a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 500 GB instead of the original 500 GB HDD in my Elitebook 8730w (product no. VF889PA #ABG). The 8730w has the latest BIOS (F.20) installed and that is running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (fully patched).

    When it is connected to the laptop through a USB adapter, to clone the HARD disk image. the SSDS works correctly. Cloning through data Migration Samsung is reported as a success, and the image of the C:\ drive occupies approximately 153 GB. The image of the disc does not include the partition of 1 GB dedicated to HP_TOOLS, due to a known limit of the Samsung software supplied.

    When it is installed in the HARD drive Bay. the SSD is not recognized as a drive and does not appear in the list of startup options. The available boot options only shown are the DVD or a network boot.

    would be very grateful for any advice on the steps required to successfully install the Samsung SSD as boot drive.

    Hmmm.
    Honestly no, I'm not happy with this one. If it was my machine, I'd be a little concerned about whats the corner of the street. In view of the age, is not surprising really, things wear out over time, the mere fact of electronics.

    Search through everything you have posted, all photos, pdf, all the text double checking. I am absolutely puzzled as to what happened. If you 100% does not reinstall the hard disk between the posts above where no HARD drive is detected in the menu boot options for the post below that where the HARD drive is detected in the same menu. I would say that you have a problem with either, the ssd, the computer motherboard laptop or the small connector on the sata port, I think on these is integrated on the motherboard, so it seems that your advice is doubtful.
    If his works now, great... but be aware that your machine can fail at some point in the near future. And it looks like a defect of the motherboard, other things are probably waiting to fail.

    There is no reason whatsoever your laptop must not have seen this ssd at first startup. A HARD drive is a HARD disk, if its compatible sata, then it will work, no doubt. When he is not on an older machine, its probably a sign of a faulty component.

    Looking through your bios options, I recommend the following.

    On startup options, get rid of internal nic pxe boot, that will only slow your machine at startup as it will seek for a network bootable device. This is the message that you get at startup saying Media Test Failure, this page is preventable with this option disabled.
    Less built lan/wlan switching on enabled in the options of the terminal, also change. This means that if you use wifi at home for example and you decide to plug in a cable network directly to the router to speed up the connection, it will not pass if it is not defined, you will have to do it manually. I work in a large company and the number of people who have this option is unreal. They all assume when they are docked they will on the wired connection.

    Because we are here too, if you ever have problems with a flickering screen, first thing to try, is disable the ambient light sensor which is just below this option of switching. Its fine on normally, but its quite common on 8560p for this causes a flickering screen.

    Hope that helped. Good luck in what you decide to do with the machine

  • Satellite L30-114: driver not designed for this platform when installing IDE controller

    Hello! I have the satellite L30-114, I bought months ago. I have Win XP SP2 with all updates and the bios 2.3.

    A few days ago, I tried to reinstall the drivers for the ide controllers. I have delited in "Device Manager" and restart the system. After you start windows normally are both installed PCI - IDE controllers, then find ide channels (primary and secondary ide channal on ich) and the strange thing happens here: instead of the normal installation of these 4 channels, window "driver not intended for this platform". and after each reboot those devices Installing, to give me 4 windows "driver not intended for this platform".

    Now in Device Manager, I have 2 controllers IDE standard normal, and not 4 channel IDE working with yelow «!» The funny thing is that I not install new ide drivers. Drivers are the same who worked before reinstalling. Now the computer works, but is worth than before. on the toshiba site there is no driver Ide "planned for this platform.

    Anyone know how can I solve this problem? or where is located this driver? or what chipset whith this controller model in this notebook?

    Hello

    In my opinion, there is no reason to do something like that. If the laptop works well let it go. Go to the Toshiba download page and download driver chipset for your laptop model and install it manually.

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

    Hello

    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
