• Inspiron 1545 - hard drive replacement, new drive SATA not found 'internal hard drive not found ".

  Hi all

  I'm trying to install Win7 in an Inspiron 1545 with a new SATA hard drive that has been purchased. When I insert the disc, I get "Internal hard drive not found." I checked the drive does not appear in the BIOS, I already tried to reinstall the drive several times. In addition, I tried to load the chipset drivers, drivers SATA, etc. of the Dells, the Reader site still does not appear in the installation of the OS when starting on a DVD or in the bios.

  I do not think that there is a problem with the new drive, I plugged the new drive in another Dell laptop model and it recognizes the drive in the BIOS, also I can always start on the previous in this laptop without problem hard drive when I plug it in.

  Is there a specific driver, etc. should I use for the drive to be recognized or have other thoughts?

  It's strange - either the new HDD has a rare compatibility with your embedded controller problem (I use a 500Gbyte in my 1545 no probs)) or it is a mechanical problem. I look at the physical dimensions and compare your original hdd by the new. Watch the video (even if it's on a 1525 (similar to a 1545) and a SSD hard drive)-go to 02:20

• Internal SATA II hard drive not recognized by Windows 7

  I upgraded to the i7 platform today and started with a new installation of windows 7, but I also kept my old 2 disks hard disk 0 (Hitatchi 250 GB) drive (Hitatchi 500 GB) 1 2 (Seagate 1 TB drive) - the 1 TB HARD drive is a new one. However, the BIOS recognizes all drives, Windows 7 does not recognize 1 TB HARD drive... Disk management is. Any Suggestions? I want to be able to use the walk that I have information on the 500, but it is 90% full... (Pulling my hair out trying to find a way for this drive be seen by windows 7).

  Intel LGA 1156 MB
  4 GB RAM DDR3 1066
  Intel Core i7 2.8 GHz
  MSI NVIDIA 250 GTS 512 MB video.

  I managed to solve the problem. I had EXACTLY the same problem and was able to resolve this down to a bug in Windows 7.

  Windows 7 SATA not recognized

  I did a blog post on this subject in which I linked above. However, I will also give you the solution here:

  The answer:
  Start-> right click computer-> properties
  Device Manager (left side)
  Click on the arrow of disks to view the list
  Find your reader you have installed here
  Make a right click on the drive-> uninstall
  After the HDD SATA disappears, click on action-> Scan for hardware changes menu

• X 51 - R2, BSOD, internal hard drive not found

  I get a blue screen on average once a day telling me that it is a: KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR until the computer tries to restart bring me to a black screen saying that the internal hard drive is not found. Turn off the computer and restart it solves the problem and the computer works well until the next blue screen. The first time that this happened was right, once I had configured Windows 8 and was about to enter the control panel. It happens literally just out of the blue, often when you make simple and menial tasks. I ran all the Dell diagnostics and apparently everything is fine. Again, as mentioned in the title, it is a brand new Alienware X 51 R2; I unpacked it a week ago.

  If anyone else has had this problem, and if you have, did you find a solution?

  I have been in dialogue with the technical support and ultimately the motherboard and HARD drive had to be replaced. This seems to fix the problem and the computer runs great now without any problem whatsoever.

• Alienware X 51 error: internal hard drive not found...

  Hello

  Since a few days I am getting an error on the screen when I start my computer. This is the error:

  Internal hard disk not found
  to resolve this problem. try to reinstall the drive.
  No bootable device.

  Strike F1 to retry boot. F2 to enter the Setup Menu. F5 enter PSA.

  If I go into the PSA I'll get boot problems. It takes like half an hour. When it's over my computer will restart, and then boot normally I can connect and see bureablad etc. But when I shut down my pc and start it again the next morning it will start with the same error. and it happens every day.

  Many people say that you must change the start Mode of inheritance in the UEFI. But the Boot Mode was already on the UEFI.

  A photo of the boot:

  

  I hope someone can help me.

• A satellite - DVD Drive not seen by Windows Explorer

  The DVD on D deive is not seen by windows Explorer. Used to work, it has now disappeared. The dvd hardwars starts at the start, then stop.

  Any ideas anyone?

  Hello

  You see the DVD drive in Device Manager and you then yellow exclamation points?
  Maybe you should just remove the drive from Device Manager and reboot the laptop. Select the drive in the Device Manager, right-click on it and choose uninstall. Then, restart the laptop.

  If it doesn't work try the workaround posted by Akuma to remove upper and lower filters.

  Good bye

• 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.

• Aurora r4 internal hard drive not found

  I went to turn my computer on Thursday and I received a message that says, internal hard disk not found, to solve this problem try to reset the player. No bootable device. Strike F1 to retry boot, F2 to enter setup menu, F5 to enter the PSA.

  I ran PSA and all the past. I removed the internal battery to see if it would help because it worked for me in the past and it didn't this time. I don't have another hard drive.

  I also had to wipe the disk a few months before what is happening. I kept getting blue screens of death, which I thought that it was caused by a virus, the virus has been removed, reset the bios a few months after the virus has been removed I kept getting the blue screen saying that I would need a new motherboard but did not. It worked fine until it starts to me don't give no boot device.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated, I don't want to have to buy a new computer

  Both worse thanks for all the help I got it to someone for repair.

• Why Windows 7 did install system files on my secondary internal hard drive, preventing it to be formatted or considered a Windows backup location?

  My computer has a Seagate hard drive 500 GB internal SATA that has the operating system on it and also a secondary internal Seagate IDE HDD 80 GB that I was drag files on a backup. I tried to format this drive of 80 GB to get a fresh start and use Windows backup to back up my files. Windows 7 will not format the drive, and he does not see the drive as a location of backup because apparently the clean installation of the Windows operating system, updated system files on the secondary drive. Disk management reports the operating system drive (500 GB one) as "disk 1-Boot, Page File, crash dump, primary Partition. It reports the secondary drive (the 80 GB one I would use with Windows Backup) as "disk 0-system, active, primary Partition". I would very probably disconnect the secondary drive and do other clean install of Windows 7, so he places all the files on the hard drive and do not involve the secondary drive, so I can format the secondary drive and use backup Windows? Or y at - it another way to fix this without doing a clean install? Thanks for any help!

  To create a new, full backup

  After you create your first backup, Windows backup will add new information or changed to your subsequent backups. If you save your backups on a hard drive or network, Windows backup will create a new backup, full for you automatically if necessary. If you save your backups on CDs or DVDs and could not find an existing backup disk, or if you want to create a new backup of all the files on your computer, you can create a full backup. Here's how to create a full backup:

  1. Open backup and restore by clicking on the button start , clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance and then click Backup and restore.

  2. In the left pane, click on create new, full backup.

     

     Note

     You will see this option if your backup is saved on CD or DVD.

• Media card internal drive not seen by Windows 7 Pro 64

  The return of the story is this: my Dell Inspiron 546 recently dropped when the HARD drive failed terminally.  "Rather than replace the HD, I opted for the upgrade of ' with a refurbished desktop computer.  I'm done with a Dell Optiplex 760 MT, which I am very happy with.  He has a new 128 GB SSD mounted and I have a new 1 to Seagate Barracuda disk HARD ready to go in it, when I get a longer SATA data cable for it.

  In any case, I got a few pieces off the Inspiron to go in the Optiplex: memory card reader 2-4 GB of RAM, DVD - RW and media 3.5 "internal.  The RAM of works well (taking the system to a total of 6 GB).  The DVD - RW works fine (once I activated the SATA port in the BIOS).  However, the card reader does nothing.

  I plugged into a vacant USB connector on the motherboard, which has been marked something like "INT USB".  However, Windows doesn't see it, and it does not show in the Device Manager.  It's as if she is not there at all (no lights, nothing).

  This card reader worked fine on the Inspiron (which was an AMD Athlon 64 machine, but running Windows 7 it 32 b).

  Any ideas?  I had a glance through the BIOS and can't see anything obvious.  I assumed that being a USB device, it would just spring to life, but I do not.

  The fixed.

  First, to use the USB header, you should disable the "floppy" in the BIOS.  I tried this but it didn't work.  However, the service manual indicates before installing the drive, then I unplugged the drive, put under tension, then stopped again, plugged in and restarted, you must disable the floppy.  I also disconnected and re connected the cable at the end of the drive.

  According to these fixed it, I don't know, but now it's the hunky dory, seen in the maps of Manager and reading of the device as it should.

• Western digital external USB 2.0 500 GB hard drive not recognized by Windows 7 Explorer. How can I fix it? ___Thank you for your help.

  The hard drive worked well until KB2398632 & KB2347290 updates have been downloaded and installed on 16/09/10.  Hard drive works fine on my Vista machine at work.

  On my own machine (Windows 7), the drive is seen in my BIOS.  He also appeared in the "features and properties" of the control panel Windows 7 and the 'properties' indicates that the device is functioning properly.  The pilot is also updated.

  It does not appear in the Windows 7 Explorer under 'computer '. Only the C: drive is indicated.

  My AMD South Bridge set drivers are up to date my USB 3.0 being drivers.

  Western Digital 500 GB external hard drive is several years old.

  two updates have no effect to detect the hardware. It was an IE and and update printer spooler. Remove it from the Device Manager and plug it into another USB port. "A programmer is just a tool that converts the caffeine in code" Deputy CLIP - http://www.winvistaside.de/

• Replacing the hard drive not detected in windows 8 clean install

  I have a Dell latitude E6330 and my HDD recently crashed. With the replacement hard dive, I could not clean install windows 8. The BIOS indicates the presence of the hard drive without problems diagnosed but windows 8 installation a driver is needed in the initial phase. I have also seen a showin error invalid partition table. Are there compatibility issues. Its a Toshiba SATA 500 GB drive

• Bay DVD replace HARD drive not recognized by Windows

  I have a 7737 with the 256 GB SSD, but I wanted more storage internally and was not too annoyed to have DVD - so I bought a caddy and replaced the optical drive with a WD Scorpio Black 750 GB drive.

  When I went into administration - computer management - disk management tools, he acknowledged that the drive was there because he told me that he needed reprogramming - so I went ahead and let him. The disc quickly disappeared from the list, and I can't do anything that he can come back.

  I tried to refresh, rescan the drives, restart (how can I confirm the BIOS recognizes the drive correctly, as the "SATA ODD', but Windows still refuses to acknowledge that he is here.) Device Manager displays only the SSD and scanning for hardware changes have no effect.

  Maybe it's a coincidence, but now my laptop seems a touch slow, especially in the graphics... and I noticed that in the Task Manager, System interrupts now takes 10 percent of time CPU on average. I can't say that I've never noticed that before. My old Samsung laptop (which has integrated graphics rather than a dedicated card, to be honest) claims system interrupts doesn't take any time at all CPU. This seems to suggest a conflict any exist, and maybe that's why the drive is not recognized?

  Because Device Manager is not see it, I can't check for updated drivers.

  Because disk management can't see, I can't format / partition / assign a drive letter.

  The BIOS does not let me do anything with the drive, go into properties or disable / re-enable, or something like that.

  Can anyone suggest what I might have missed in the configuration, or what I can do to fix this?

  Thanks in advance.

  Unfortunately, I can't find a downloadable diagnosis for your laptop. Try Seatools. Seagate website has a download, that you can use to create a CD bootable or flash player to test hard drives.

  I just want to see if a tool outside Windows can detect the drive and all the problems.
