SSD Sata HARD drive appearing is not in the system of the device

I added a SSD HDD to my system via a sata connection and I see the drive listed in the BIOS, but it does not appear in the "My computer" window I can't format it to use it.

I also noticed when the bios runs at startup it flashes very quickly a message that his search for disks, then no drive detected...  Why not?

Click on the round to start, type computer management in the area of research and
Press ENTER.
 
In the computer management window, select on the left disk management,
Click on the drive in question and select format.

  • Computer failure, hard drive readable: can not find the 5 Lightroom Catalog.

    Computer failure, hard drive readable: can not find the 5 Lightroom Catalog. Help appreciated.

    I used 5.3 LR on Win7, never pay attention in the name of the catalog used. My photo files were on the same physical hard disk D: partition.

    Now that I have a new computer Intel NUC, with Win7 installed on drive C: (SSD M.2), I plugged my old drive hard drive E: (old C :) and drive F (old d :))

    I have re-installed LR 5.3 and also upgraded to LR 6, , but the problem is that I can't find the catalog I was using with LR 5.3

    I searched for *.lrcat and see all previous catalogues lightroom starting with LR 2, 3, 4, 5, getting bigger and bigger, but not catalog 5 including the current date.

    The catalog would have another name or extension?

    I have the old C: drive. Is there a config file that would confirm where the catalogue is supposed to be?

    Help!

    HM, it is clear that it is not found on your old C: (so E :). )

    And there is no config file to tell where to find the catalog to Lightroom. It's just that the catalog is in the place you choose (most of the people chose to have the catalog to the location by default...).

  • Samsung external hard drive appears... The lights are flashing

    Suddenly my Samsung external hard drive will appear in my Windows Explorer or disk management, the lights flash, but it does not seem to connect to my laptop, have tried on 3 other machines and still does not. Anyone have a similar experience?

    Perhaps just what the usb cable?

    Hello Fregal

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    As you said there are problems connecting external hard drive to the computer.

    I would like to know some information about this problem to help you better.

    (1) have you made changes in the computer or hard drive recently?

    (2) the hard drive didn't work on any of the three machines?

    (3) what is the model number of the hard drive?

    In the meantime, please try to follow the following suggestions to solve the problem.

    If you have another USB cable for the hard drive then try to check the matter with different cable.

    If this doesn't help then try to follow the link below to run the fixit and see if that helps.

  • Replaced the HARD drive, but can not reinstall the operating system

    Evening,

    I replaced the HARD drive on my laptop and used the sony recovery media kit, but the error message "can not configure windows to run on this hardware of computers.

    The HARD drive is a Toshiba of the same style and size. Sony sent me two sets of disks, I replaced the HARD drive twice still have exactly the same problem.

    Any ideas before using it as a target would be useful.

    Thank you

    C

    It is possible that the new hard drive, you bought are 4 k sectors and not 512 KB, which is necessary to make it work properly.  If you have a practical clean Windows installation disc that give a try and see if you encounter the same error...

  • 2nd hard drive appearing is not in my computer

    My 2nd hard drive is not appearing in my computer.  The hard drive was a slave, that I took from my old xp machine after it crashed.  I had installed in my new vista machine before and it worked, but then I had to reinstall the operating system and since then he did not appear.  I double checked to make sure, it has been defined as a slave drive and it is.  It appears in the Bios, Device Manager and in disk management, but not in my computer.  Nothing is appearing as unallocated in disk management and the player said his good health.  In the Device Manager, it says the device is working properly.  I tried to give him just a drive letter in the management of records, but when I right click on it the only option I have is help.  I also tried to update the drivers, he says that they are up-to-date.  I tried deactivation and activation of the hard drive.  I even tried to uninstall.  When I rebooted, it detects and reinstalled the drivers, but I still can't get it to appear in my computer.

    Alw179,

    so I assume you are using the new Windows 7 for this post.

    Proposal of John Doe has worked for me. This is how do you a little more in detail:

    step 1: Windows 'Start menu '.

    Step 2: SPECIFY the, "disk management" in the box "search programs and files" at the botom

    step 3 find and RIGHT click on the hard drive in the list that program shows.

    step 4: select 'Change Drive Letter and paths '.

    step 5: click Add and make sure that ASSIGN it THE FOLLOWING DRIVE LETTER: bubble is selected and then use the drop-down menu to select a drive letter, do not use it.

    step 5: click OK

    step 6: complete, you should have something pop up indicates that your hard drive is available to show.

    I hope this helps.

  • New external USB 500 GB Portable Hard Drive appearing is not in Windows Vista

    I connected a new 500G portable hard drive to a front USB port on my HP PC (with an AMD Phenom X 4 image processor), under Windows Vista Home Premium. Windows presented a pop saying that the driver has been installed, then he said: USB device installed. The software of the device has been installed successfully and is ready for use.

    However when I looked for the drive in Windows Explorer it wasn't there. I read in this forum, and using the information that I realized that I accessed the computer on my PC management - up it only shows C: drive and D: drive image factory, but below that, when disk 0 is assigned to the C: and D: drives it shows disk 1, unknown, uninitialized. Assuming that it is the car in question, I tried to initialize the disk, but then the error FUNCTION INCORRECTE.

    I don't know what to do at this point. If the player has not been assigned a letter, there seems to be no way to transfer or partition.

    A new drive must be formatted. That is why it is sjowing up as disc 1, unknown, uninitialized.

  • Why is it not the ssd on the motherboard not appearing is not in the Device Manager?

    Why isn't the ssd does not appear in Device Manager or the bios?. V15 Nitro.

    your SSD is not visible/side since it is part of the Intel Smart Response SSD cache, so it is used only to speed up the HARD drive read/write data.

  • my hard drive cloning will not affect the computer in the new OS?

    I currently have a Gateway laptop that is running Windows Vista. The hard drive in the new ASUS that works under Windows 7 I just bought cloning affect or replace 7 with VISTA?

    Hello

    Yes, it will affect it

    It will not work for many reasons

    Your Gateway vista is an OEM license and is linked to the original machine on which it is installed

    It is not transferable

    even if it's a retail license, which is not the case, it would not start as gateway motherboard drivers are installed on the old hard drive

    and above all, it will not activate because it is only an OEM license tied to the Gateway Laptop

  • hard drive installation / do not install the drivers before that I installed Vista

    I installed a new hard drive on my laptop and then installed my vista reinstallation cd before installing reinstalling drivers and utilities cd, and now some of my drivers are missing, especially for the wireless card, so I can't connect to internet / y at - it an easy solution for this?

    Install now and they will update those that are currently installed, or install the drivers, some of whom are misssing.

    Go to Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers, get the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device or disc they provided but prompting directly from web site can be better because they may be more recent than those appearing on the disc. (NO Microsoft updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

    I hope this helps.

  • Driver for wireless Xbox 360 on Windows 7 (64) not appearing is not in the device after the installation manager.

    is there nothing in the folder 'Microsoft Xbox 360' accessories in the start menu.

    After installing 'Xbox 360 accessories software 1.2 64-bit for Windows 7", restart takes about 5 minutes which is unusually long.
    I bought a (generic) wireless receiver and went to the Device Manager to update the driver and the only thing that appears in the category 'Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class' is a 2006 (XBOX 360 Controller For Windows) driver that does not work. " There's no such thing as the newer drivers (already installed). What I'm missing here?
    Any help with this would be much appreciated.

    I got it to work. If pilots do not appear after installation, and you begin to notice the empty folders in your Start menu, it's because of permissions.  If you bought your pc used, ensure at their level of access to your account transfer system, you are the system administrator is not enough.

  • Windows Vista - after the RESTORE partition HARD drive: WINDOWS COULD NOT COMPLETE the INSTALLATION. TO INSTALL WINDOWS ON THIS COMPUTER, RESTART THE INSTALLATION

    Hello

    I have WINDOWS VISTA and just tried to reinstall my laptop of restoration on a HARD disk partition.

    The restore went through, but then I got the error: WINDOWS COULD NOT COMPLETE the INSTALLATION. TO INSTALL WINDOWS ON THIS COMPUTER, RESTART THE INSTALLATION

    When I press 'OK' (which is the only option), it tries to start again, until I get the same error through the black screen.

    Hello

    For any problem with the help of the recovery Partition that has been copied to the hard disk by the computer manufacturer, you must contact them.

    This recovery process is the manufacturer, not Microsoft.

    ________________________________________________

    You never told us why you wanted to do a restore. If you had serious errors and the recovery process does not work, you will have hardware problems. BUT we're only guessing at this stage due to lack of information to help you.

    See you soon.
