  Hello

  If you get a 'click' sound in your hard drive, I would suggest that you test and replace if necessary,

  If you do not have to replace it, there should be a recovery partition on this drive to make recovery disks and use to reinstall Vista.

  Contact the manufacturer to find out the exaxct of keys to press start to start the factory of this partition recovery.

  For a small price, you can also buy a set of recovery of them discs to reinstall Vista.

• Windows 7 loses the secondary hard drive

  This has been a problem, I don't know why I waited this long to ask about it.

  My secondary hard drive keep endangered of Windows 7, as if someone unplugged spontaneously, except that it's still there.

  This problem can be resolved by restarting just the computer, and it can remain correct for a few minutes, a few hoursor a few days, but it still exists, usually several times a week.

  I checked all connections and even swapped the cables. There is nothing wrong with the drive itself, I can put it in another computer without this problem occurring. I also tried to move to an another empty SATA connection on the motherboard without success.

  I do not use the drive on a regular basis and bought only so that the steam and the game files that are, (and now the original since I finally broke down and got Mass Effect 3 despite efforts to avoid EA "me too!" steam clone.) were not cluttering up my main hard drive.

  But when I decide to take a load off and play games, I like for the reader to be there without needing a reboot, it can so be a little frustrating because it's usually when I am stressed already :)

  Thanks in advance for any help offered.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

  Disks RAID configured hard two?

  Internal hard disks connect to the motherboard of your computer using an IDE or SATA interface interface. Most new hard drives come with an IDE or SATA connection cable, depending on the type of drive.

  Install an internal hard disk takes a bit more work, especially if you plan to make the new disk your primary hard disk where you install Windows. Drive hard internal jumpers that you set to configure the main hard drive (master) disk where you install Windows or a secondary (slave) drive where you store programs and files. For the diagnosis of your problem, I suggest trying the following methods and check if the number is reproduced.

  Method 1:

  Check if you are able to view the second hard disk (HDD) in Device Manager. If so, try to change drive letter assignments in Windows 7. See the following steps:

  (a) connect to the computer as an administrator.

  (b) click Start, right-click computerand then click Manage.

  (c) click on disk management.

  (d) right click on the volume of the secondary HDD that you want to change and then click change drive letter and paths.

  (e) double click on the secondary drive, click change, click the drive letter that you want to use and then click OK.

  Additional information:
  Change, add, or remove a drive letter
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-add-or-remove-a-drive-letter

  If method 1 does not resolve the problem, go to method 2.

  Method 2:

  I suggest you try to check the secondary hard drive to find errors.

  Consult the following link:

  Check your hard drive to find errors in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2641432/en-us

  Warning: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

  If method 2 does not work, go to method 3.

  Method 3:

  Try to run a scan of the file system (CFS) auditor to check any file corruption:

  1. Go to Start, click all programs and open the Accessories.
  2. Right-click on command prompt in the list programs, and then select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, click OK, or alternatively click on Yes.
  3. In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

• Secondary hard drive for M58e

  I really like the Lenovo computers, the M58e that I just bought (two, actually) doesn't have a provision for adding a secondary hard drive. The hardware Maintenance Manual shows a cage on the bottom of the case, but that is not. The manual, as far as I could tell, has failed a number of similar cage.

  It is hard to believe that Lenovo would be a tower that does not have the ability to easily add a second hard drive. What is the solution? Drill holes in the bottom of the case? Incredible.

  Support is provided with certain models, but not others. This is really unfortunate. I drilled four holes in the bottom of the case and the bottom mounted drive, very near where it would have been if the support was present.

• How you disassemble a secondary HARD drive after boot?

  Vista SP2

  If a secondary spare hard drive is installed and used for backups only, how only prevents editing during the boot process?

  I don't want this available until volume wherever I actually backup, in order to avoid the possibility of a virus attack.

  A flight-mount batch file or the script running duing/after starting would be acceptable, but I prefer the volume is not available for the system until the mount-flight command is issued once the operating system is started.

  I need an example of a batch or a script that I can use for both assemble and disassemble.

• Windows Vista does not recognize my external hard drive, Eagle Consus AND-CS2PSU2-BK

  I have an HP Presario laptop running Windows Vista and it does not recognize my external hard drive, or my flash drives.

  I have an external hard drive Eagle Consus AND-CS2PSU2-BK.  It worked fine on my desktop, which works on XP.  I plug it to my computer laptop and nothing.

  When I plugged it in the first place, he says that he needed to download the drivers.  I clicked 'ok' to automatically download drivers and a few seconds later, he said that it successfully completed the driver download/install.

  I look under the drives in my computer and he's not here.

  I went to start, right click computer, left you click on Manage and double-clique then under storage disk management.  All I see are C drive and recovery disc (D).  No other drives displayed.

  I exitted who and set up the Control Panel, double click on Device Manager.  He said in the other topic peripheral USB to ATA/ATAPI bridge.  I don't know whether or not it is my external hard drive.  It indicates the Type of device: Other Devices and under device status it says: "the drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28).  This operation requires an interactive window station.  To reinstall the drivers for this device, click on reinstall the driver. »

  He asks if I want to reinstall the drivers, so I clicked that.  He couldn't find them / install them.

  Still, I don't know if USB to ATA/ATAPI bridge is still linked to my external hard drive.

  Help, please.  The same thing happens when I try to plug a flash/USB.

  Try this:

  In the right click 'USB to ATA/ATAPI bridge' Device Manager under the other devices section, click unsintall or press the delete key. Reset with the connected hard drive it must be reinstalled, but under the USB controllers. Make sure the device works on the other computer cable can also go to bad.b

• Unistalling windows vista on a secondary hard drive.

  I recently built a new PC with a SSD as main OS drive and Windows 7 as my new main operating system.  As long as my secondary HARD drive, I used an old HDD that has a version of Vista as well as all my old files.  I'm hoping to keep all my old files on this disk and delete Vista to free up space on this drive.  I have also other programs (software Zune. ect on the drive, I guess I will need to download a new version for Win7.)  Should I uninstall that as well and download a new version?

  Any advice you may have for me are appreciated... Thank you!

• Secondary hard drive receives the drive letter assigned to the start-up

  I have recently formatted my secondary hard drive, which had been sitting in my empty PC and do nothing for a while, to function as a music folder. The problem I have is that every time you start that I have to manually assign the drive letter, Windows does not automatically. I tried to reformat the hard disk, but it does not solve the problem. In addition, by train to perform a bugcheck gives an error indicating the check cannot be completed. Personally, I have no idea how to solve this problem, and I have not found anyone with the same issue.

  Hi Revolvist,

  There is a possibility that the second hard disk is defective or damaged.

  If the second hard disk is a separate hard drive, I suggest you disconnect the drive from the computer (if possible) and connect to another computer and check if the problem persists.

• I tried the clean boot and now the hard drive works simply and screen went black. The mouse still moves around the screen without any outher work keys? That is what it is?

  I tried the clean boot and now the hard drive works simply and screen went black. The mouse still moves around the screen without any outher work keys? That is what it is?

  Hello

  You will need to reverse the clean boot, as it is either incidental compared to
  the real cause of the problem. What, where you try to fix initially using the cleanboot?

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If so you can try the configuration - control panel
  The Device Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click the driver UPDATE - then
  Right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is
  CTRL + ALT + DEL and the processes tab find EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
  by tapping F8 as you start several times.

  First check this thread in case it is simple and if not to come back to this thread.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
  That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
  Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
  Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
  field efforts.

  Here's a video of one of them.

• Disconnected (removed) external hard drive still exploring and using drive letter - how to remove?

  Dear community,

  I recently removed an external hard drive of my computer laptop windows 7, I guess it was not not ready to 'remove Saveli' it at that time. The hard drive itself is fine, but the icon remained in windows Explorer because it is disconnected. I manually assigned the drive letter Q on the drive before, and it always appears like that, since this disconnect. When I click on it, there is of course a mistake ("Q is not accessible. "Access denied"). When I plug the hard drive it is listed in another letter (E), the 'Phantom' to Q drive is not affected by it at all.
  It (the ghost drive) does not appear in the computer/disk management manager and I can also not reassign the letter Q on the original hard drive (or any other - is not in the list!).
  I would use the letter Q again to the hard drive (my paths and associations of are consistent) and want to get rid of the ghost car. Any ideas how?
  Thanks in advance,
  Philipp

  FYI
  It's great that the problem corrected itself, but for general reference or other who can run in the ii, how to fix a ' stuck or ghost hand "is to remove its entry in the registry key below and then open a new market or restart.  This problem is relatively rare, but sometimes and still does not resolve itself.
  (Note this drive letter Q is used by Office, click Run and sometimes mysteriously appears for this reason, unlike your situation.)

• Can I format my secondary hard drive on another PC?

  I understand that you format a secondary hard drive before using this, but what happens if I format it in another computer and place it in another computer? I basically want to just send my files on the secondary hard drive then put the hard drive in another computer and transfer the files on the primary. Should it be formatted when installed in another computer, every time and will it be ok if I just send my files to real vivid primary in another computer? Thank you

  Format on a computer and you can use it in all that are supported by the type of file system.  Use NTFS for windows computers.
