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

  Second disk sata hard of not appearing is not on my computer and disk management. However, the hard drive is displayed in the bios. I am running windows 8 and the hard drive has been used in another cpu with linux installed on it, I want to format the hard drive and use it to store data.

  Thanks, Thomas

  Hello

  Yes, it should work... I didn't know that you were able to do...

  If you can remove the entire partitions... If you can reformat it to NTFS on Linux, you do too much, or just wait and do in Windows.

  Parted Magic is actually a program Linux incidentally...

• 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.

• 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

  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.

• 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?

• 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.

• HARD drive not recognized by Windows Vista Home Edition (32-bit with Service Pack 2)

  Windows stopped to recognize external 500 GB drive external HARD on my Ascer Aspire 5610Z attached via the USB port.  Have tried two USB ports, but won't recognize the device.  Seeing of the device lights up and the device can be played on another laptop.  OK worked until a week or two ago, but cannot restore because it's on this unit that the backups are done!   Windows is 'unknown material' and trying to find the driver, without success.   Device Manager reflects an unknown device but gives no description, etc.

  Hi Peter St Clair,.

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2 are you able to access other USB devices on the computer?

  Method 1

  See the link below and run them the fixit tool available, check if it works.

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then I suggest you reinstall the USB controllers on the computer and check if it works.

  Note: If you use a USB mouse, please follow the steps of "Using the keyboard" to reinstall the USB controllers. Windows 7 will reinstall all the controllers automatically after restarting your computer.

  (b) in Device Manager, double-click to expand the "USB Bus controllers", right-click on the "host controller", click "Uninstall" and click "OK".

  (c) repeat step 2 to uninstall all items under 'USB Bus controllers'.

  Then, restart your computer and Windows Vista will automatically reinstall all USB controllers.

  Use the keyboard

  -----------------

  First of all, please disconnect all USB devices. Then go through the following steps:

  (a) press "Ctrl + Esc" to open the Start Menu.

  (b) Device Manager to type in the search bar and press "Enter." If necessary, click on continue.

  (c) in the Device Manager, press Tab and use 'Up' and 'Down' to move the selection from 'de Bus USB controllers '.

  (d) press 'Right' and expand it.

• XPS 8700 hard drive not recognized

  My new 8700 XPS desktop computer will not recognize additional hard drives that I am trying to install.  I know there have been several discussions on exactly this topic and tried unsuccessfully suggested changes (details below).  A few basics - my BIOS revision A07 (as dated 13/03/2014) and OS is W8.1.

  Adding disk hard SATA cable is a small HDD (250 GB) that I used in my old computer for the holding of the backup files. He's definitely working.

  I installed and then used work around this forum - go into the BIOS, change the Boot Mode safe "Custom" then change Secure Boot to "disabled ' then F10 to save and exit.  Device Manager displays the two hard drives, but the added disk does NOT appear in the Windows File Explorer. I tried several SATA connectors on the motherboard and try to put the 'Legacy' Boot, then returns to "UEFI" when the computer complains.

  All to nothing does not.  Ideas and I don't want to live with a new computer that will let me add more readers!  Help!

  Just has been disconnected from the Chat with Technical Support - problem seems to be resolved.  The 'new' drive was in the Device Manager and present as a "foreign" drive  Product support (PS) right click on the drive and did a "import as new disk" (or something like that) and... pow!  I got my drive appears.  More details later if anyone is interested.  Me - I'm going to get fresh coffee and enjoy my new computer for a bit.

• 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!

  -Display in System Profiler under SATA/SATA Express?
