Satellite U840-10N - Windows Installation can not see any drive

Hi all, this is my first post so I hope that I chose the right place to post in.

I just bought a new Toshiba Satellite u840-10n ultrabook. He joined WIndows 7 Home Premium 320 GB HHD + SSD of 32 GB.

Even though I prefer Linux, I need Windows because of Microsoft Visual Studio. I downloaded Visual Studio (legally throught dreamspark.com), but it looks like it has some issues. In particular, I can't create any project.

After searching the Web for this problem, I decided to try reinstalling Windows, hoping that this will solve the problem, and here's the point.

Installation process of Windows 7 can not find any drive. I looked through the web a lot to solve this problem, even, without understanding.

I read a lot of other people had the same problem. I tried different ways and I'm about to throw the laptop out the window.

Is there anyone can help me?

See you soon,.

You need to load the SATA driver before you start the installation of the OS. Try it please use the files from http://www.fileswap.com/dl/igfH0jVrap/

I used it on my Win8 preinstalled satellite to install Win7 64 bit. Copy it to USB and install from there.
Please post comments.

  • After new OS installation can not see all the devices connected on satellite

    I recently reformatted the computer because I had a lot of problems, after doing so I tried to connect to the internet, on that I just plugged the ethernet cable, the light on the modem was flashing and I opened the network connections, but the network device was not there. e.g. connection to the LAN 1, etc.

    I also have another problem. I opened the Device Manager and could not see any of the connected devices.
    can anyone help?

    HI Kamal,

    If you have reinstalled just your system from the recovery CD then you will also need to re - install one of your devices (including your Internet connections) installation CD that came with them.

    The recovery CD contain only the Windows base operating system, as well as the software provided to Toshiba and to my knowledge, this does not include the ISP software or connections.

    Kind regards

  • Portege M400 - Windows 7 does not see HARD drive

    Hi, I have the problem, I am trying to install Windows 7 on my M400, but he didn't see the hard drive.
    The hard drive is surly ok, ' couse I tested it in the other netbook, I can see it in the BIOS, but any program installation can not.

    (I tried both Ubuntu and XP Tablet Edition)

    Hi Radzik,

    I think that Windows doesn't see the drive HARD due missing RAID drivers Windows needs of these RAID drivers before you can install it because it doesn t contain these drivers for the disk HARD is not recognized. You can download the RAID driver from Toshiba Web site.

    You can then create a new installation disc using nLite with drivers or copy the drivers on an external floppy drive. Start Windows XP after you press F6 to load drivers from floppy drive.

    Check this box!

  • Can not see the drive letter for Hammer 640 GB external hard drive

    I have an external hammer 640 GB drive (which has a Western Digital WD6400AAKS drive inside) with important data. When I connect to my computer (under Windows XP Pro), I can see the player if I go to my computer-> hardware-> readers but can see any drive letter.

    Even if boot disks using software such as Hirens boot and demarrer start with the BACK, do not see this drive (I tried A - Z).

    There is apparently no physical damage to the disk.

    Hello
    In this case, it seems to me that the drive itself is damaged. For this purpose, it is likely that there is no conventional solution through Windows itself.

    I suggest you seek a professional store of COMPUTING, or computer confidence. If information on this drive is still recoverable, it will probably take advice from specialized professionals and know how to do really.

  • Satellite U300 - Windows XP does not see HARD drive

    Hello

    I've updated the BIOS with the latest version, I've built a floppy with the SATA drivers, none of them work, XP Setup is not able to recognize the HD.

    Surprisingly enough the BIOS SATA mode option can not be seen.

    Any idea?

    Kind regards
    Lionel.

    Hello

    Not all BIOS contains the SATA option!
    In your case, I recommend the construction of a new CD of Windows XP by using the nLite.
    nLite is a free tool and allows you to include the SATA dirvers in the Win XP CD!

    Then you can use the new XP disk to start and new installation of the OS

    Search here in the forum! There is enough discussion on this procedure

  • All network devices can see each other + Windows 7 computer, but machine Windows 7 can not see them

    Hello. Under the network of my machine Windows 8 folder, I can see all the devices on the network. This includes a printer, my computer Windows 7 (what I can access), an Apple TV (from special software), a wireless hard drive, the router and a digital recorder.

    The Windows 7 machine, I can only see the router and the printer. On special software, the Apple TV does not either. When you perform the Windows 8 computer host as a server for the special software, the Windows 7 machine could not see it on the special software. This means that there is something wrong on the Windows 7 this machine is not allowing him to detect other devices.

    In a game of LAN, Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers can't see each other.

    All devices are on the internet and I am posting this from the Windows 7 machine right now.

    Windows 7 and Windows 8 machine are on the same network.

    No device is on a host group and the group home service is disabled.

    Peer networking is enabled.

    Network discovery is turned on.

    Both connections are set to private/Home.

    Originally, the Windows 7 machine has been on his own home group and could be seen by anything. After a few hours, I finally got out of the home group, how other devices could see him then. However, he cannot always see other devices.

    How can I get the Windows 7 machine to see other devices? I am at a loss. Is there a service that I have disabled right now that needs to be enabled? I don't know what to do.

    Hello

    Please contact Microsoft Community.

    Disable the security software and check.

  • Windows 7 does not see SATA drive

    I just upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 and now cannot access the SATA drive that I use for storage. I desperately need help to access this drive.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    I've seen suggestions on the use of upgrade instead of the custom installation, but upgrade XP to 7 is not available.

    It doesn't matter anymore that I managed to blow a capacitor on the motherboard and had to replace the guts of the machine. The new motherboard had no problem see the SATA drive. Of course, he can't see that the IDE drives so I traded one problem for another.

    With all this, I made a whole new computer, which I'm sure that will soon show it's own set of problems.

    Thanks for the help. And you can mark this resolved.

  • Satellite M30-604: USB Port can not find the driver

    Hello

    I keep having the same problem on my Satellite M30 604 when connecting to a USB device.
    It does not really matter with this kind of device, the problem still.

    Whenever I have insert the USB plug into one of the slots, my home XP keeps popping up the wizzard software.
    Even with devices without drivers such as USB keys, it keeps bothering me and finally tells me that it cannot find the right driver.

    If I try to install a printer, it installs the software found, but finally stops the operation because it can't find the driver (?). I don't know in what direction I should look at to solve this.

    So if anyone can help me on this, I would be very grateful!
    Edwin

    Hello, Edwin

    It's very strange because it is not necessary to install a USB driver and standard Microsoft USB driver should work well. I put t know if this can help, but please check this page

    This fix is also part of the factory settings (recovery image on the delivered CD). By the way: your device is about three years old and it will be interesting to know since when you have this problem. Just for example: I have more Satellite 1900 with USB 1.0 and use USB keys and drive external HARD without any problem.

  • HP Z820 - SSDDashBoard can not see the drive
