Second HARD drive not recognized by windows 8 but is recognized by the sata bios

• Second Hard Drive not recognized / climb (but it IS listed in the Device Manager)

  I have a HP Compaq DC7800 convertible mini tower running than Win 7 Pro 64-bit

  I installed a second hard drive, and while I can see listed in the Device Manager, it is not mounted.

  That is to say, it is not in the computer > field at all.

  The second hard drive is a Hitachi HDT721032SLA360 ATA Device

  Under the hardware ID, it is said: IDE\DiskHitachi_HDT721032SLA360___ST2OA38E

  I thought it was a driver problem. Device Manager indicates that it uses the Microsoft 6.1.7600.16385 driver.

  I can't find a Hitachi driver for this player. My understanding was that this drive would NOT need drivers.

  I have it in the plug of P5 (I think it is P5, it's at the end of the cable with the primary hard drive) and I have a data cable sata from the sata port on the rear of the disc in the slot sata on the motherboard next to the slot in the place where the main in drive is plugged.

  The only sites that list the drivers for this drive are all spam (thanks, google) sites.

  What I have to change something in my Bios?

  Thanks in advance.

  If the drive is listed in the device but not 'computer' Manager, it must be mounted or a new volume must be created. Please see HP - partitioning and names of hard drives (Windows 7) for more information on using the Windows Disk Management Console.

• Newly installed internal Second hard drive not recognized

  L1701X XPS laptop (running Win 10). Installed a second 500 GB WD hard drive that is not recognized in the BIOS. I've updated (flashed) BIOS to the A10 and I updated all drivers recommended by Dell Support.

  If I remove the new second player and hover over the first (original) hard drive to the second vacant slot it works very well and also appears in the BIOS - so it seems to me that there is no problem with the second player port.

  I tried everything I could find on the Net about it, for example, to check the connection of the second disc, but nothing done yet.

  Can someone help me with this?

  I'm pulling this Post because I don't get all of the possible solutions to my question.  Thanks to the two people who have asked questions.

• Hard drive not recognized on the computer after the upgrade to Vista

  I just upgraded to vista a my ext hdd does not come in computer how to install human and format the hard drive?

  What's your Vista-compatible external HARD drive? http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/

  Have you loaded the proper drivers, firmware or software for the external drive and your version of Vista?  He can't just plug-and-play, especially if this isn't original USB key but a convert.

  Once it is recognized by the system (if it is compatible and once the drivers are installed), go to start / Control Panel / administrative tools / computer management / management of records and right click on the external drive that shows there or format to change the drive letter or a similar task.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• New HARD drive not recognized by the SAS on PowerEdge T410 controller

  One of the drives has failed on my RAID 1 configuration, so I bought a non-certified dell, Seagate Barracuda 500 GB drive (other readers were 250 GB).

  I turned off the machine and swapped the failed drive with a new one (cable connections)

  When I boot in Sas (SAS 6 ir) controller, it shows that the disk is missing.

  I turned off the server and changed the cables from the primary to the new disk, to see if it would make a difference. None. Watch again ' driving status: missing.

  What I have to buy dell certified readers? I'm doing something wrong? Or is the obsolete RAID controller?

  Any help would be appreciated! My primary hardrive gives signs of failure. I have a picture of him, but I'd like to get it mirrored on my new record ASAP.

  Thank you

  Hello director87

  Go to the RAID properties > manage table > manage Hot Spare disks. You should see a list of all drives that detects the controller. Your RAID 1 drives will be listed as primary and secondary. The new drive should not be anything in the area of the 'State of the drive. Use the arrows to select the new disk and keys to assign it as a spare drive + /. After you assign it as a spare drive it should start to rebuild.

  If you don't see the drive in the list, then check the screen of the SAS topology. If you see in the SAS topology then use CTL D to shoot to the top of the additional options. Let me know if it will allow you to do something to the reader in this screen. If you don't see in SAS topology then it does not appear that the controller is able to communicate properly with this player.

  Thank you

• New hard drive try to install Windows vista but it keep suspended after 60% and collapsed them

  New hard drive try to install Windows vista, but it keep suspended after 60% collapsed I tried a few time every time I had to wait for 5 hours, but the same thing happen again and again can help you pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase

  Monastir,

  What happens when it stops it is have a Sata driver. It is on the drivers cd you received with your computer. You can also start the computer and press F2 to enter the bios. From there down to Configuration system - SATA Operation and change this to ATA. It is located to AHCI. Save the changes and restart the installation. Once you have loaded Windows and drivers installed, you will need to go back to AHCI.

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

  I have a hitachi lifestudio external hard drive and it works great 50% of the time... the other 50%, I fight because it not being recognized on my computer or laptop (both vista).  I plugged it to my computer now and it will only recognize the player but is not the one with my files that I need.  I have two USB cords connected and it was working fine yesterday!  Now all of a sudden it won't work at all.  I got and rehooked many times now and still nothing.  Other USB ports are filled with our wireless mouse and others.  Is there a way to force vista to recognize something?

  Hello

• Tecra S3 on Linux: hard drive not recognized

  Hello

  I recently bought a laptop Toshiba Tecra S3 and I'm happy with it, except for one important thing: I can not install Linux on it.

  I tried with the latest versions of Fedora Core and Ubuntu, the hard drive seems to be detected, but it is not recognized at the time of installation. I guess it's a matter of (too) new chipset Serial ATA.

  You have any recommendations or do you intend to contribute to the kernel modules in Linux/order that this model could be installed on Linux?

  Also note that I remember that I had the same problem when I tried to install Windows XP from a CD (not the recovery cd): the hard drive has not been detected and the installation failed.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I can t believe that you can not install a Windows operating system.
  You formatait once again the HARD drive? I recommend to format the HARD drive completely, then install the operating system.
  In addition, if you want to use the Windows operating system, you must use the recovery CD because this image included all the necessary drivers.

  If you want to work with the Linux operating system, I recommend using the Knoppix distribution. In this case you n t need to install anything. This Linux you can start from the DVD or CD and it works as a Linux operating system normally

  Good bye

• 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

• 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.

  What service pack level is Windows XP to? How old are your motherboard and BIOS?

  You need two things to support a major player:

  1. a motherboard with a BIOS and a controller that supports 48-bit LBA supported (or alternatively, an add-in controller card that does).

  2. at least SP1 of Windows XP.

• Hitachi external hard drive not detected on Windows 7. Disk Management displays "No Media"

  OP: New computer with Windows 7 cannot display files on external hard drive Hitachi

  My Hitachi hard drive is compatible with Windows 7.  This hard drive was working properly with my old computer using Windows XP.  I can see the device in the Device Manager, but I can't view the files.  In disk management, the drive is listed at the bottom of the screen, but said "No Media", however there is almost 50 GB of data stored.

  The hard drive shows in the list of devices and printers when I opened that folder, but does not appear in the list of hard drives on my computer.

  I still don't understand what happened, but I've decided how to fix it.

  After trying my hard drive locked on 4 computers with Windows installed (two with Windows 7) and two with XP and having no success, I decided to plug it into a computer using a Linyx OS (Obuntu).  The computer recognizes my hard drive and open.  Then I was able to use the Windows System.  I managed to freeze hard drive again and he cured the same way.  Maybe this will help also, if you have access to a computer with this operating system.  Maybe a mac would also work.
