SSD Secure erase - suspended - now drive not found

I wanted to clear my SSD so, with connected to a free usb port, I started a deletion secure 3-pass (as I continue to read the system will not let you do with an SSD, but he did. I also realize that it is not necessary, do not need to hear about it at this stage). The first change took about 8 hours so as soon as the second pass I force quit the disk utility (and received no warning about this procedure). Now the drive no longer shows. I rebooted, I tried a new usb port, but still no sign of the SSD. I've read about other people having the same problem but not yet seen any solution. I don't think it is defective somehow, as this seems to happen to others who is leaving the delete in sequence mid process. Where at - it go? Thank you! ~

Have you tried to boot in Recovery HD (command-R) and using disk utility it?

Have you tried to use the commands to command line Terminal and diskutil ? Diskutil list to see if it shows up. Then you can use diskutil command to repartition/format it.

Otherwise, 3rd utilities like Disk Warrior and Drive Genius 4 might work. I know that the Drive Genius 4 trial version will not repair issues. It will show you only the questions. I've never used Disk Warrior, so I don't know about that one.

    Hi joseph97svl,

    Thank you for the update.

    Because the HARD drive is detected in the BIOS, and also the successful test, the equipment works as expected. I suspect it is a software problem and you can consider restoring the system using the recovery discs.  To restore the system using the recovery media, follow the instructions given in the following link:

    http://Dell.to/12Z2Lkq

    In case the recovery discs are not created, send me a private message with the service system number to help you further.  Please click on my name and click on start the Conversation to send me a private message.

  • Help format/reinstall, HARD drive not found

    Dell Dimension 8400 my brother got a horse of Trojan/bot out there and I had to do a thorough cleaning due to not being able to locate the infection and the internet company kept cutting off the Internet.

    I first tried the start of the disc and using disk relocation provided by Dell. He said "this part of the Setup program prepares Microsoft Windows XP on your computer. To set up Windows XP now, press ENTER. To repair a Win XP... Press R."

    I chose the first option and get the message: "Setup has not found hard disk units installed on your computer." And the only option (F3) is to stop smoking.

    I made a diagnosis of HD and it passes. Looking in the BIOS, it is recognised as disk 0 and also in the startup list.

    I decided that maybe there was a lock on there so I used DBAN to run a DoD wipe/format and clean the drive. So now it has to be completely formatted. I also jumped into a boot disk and performed a fdisk, but he doesn't recognize and create a partition of 8 GB to 160 GB. Hmmm, something's not right.

    Again, I'm trying to reinstall with reinstall drive and a full copy of XP that I have and you still get the "hard drive not found" error.

    The FAQ does not seem to cover this issue, but I could easily looking in the wrong places. in any case, I want to just wipe the drive and reinstall. Any suggestions?

  • Internal drive not found, trying to reinsert the hard drive Alienware R4

    I had a few problems leading to myself for buying a new drive hard drive for this reason "internal drive not found, try to reinstall the hard disk.

    I did a test of Epse and found that the hard drive had problems.

    so I went out and bought a new, replaced the old and the new and always with the same error "internal drive not found, trying to reinsert the hard drive."

    I ran the test Epse, there is no problem with anything, it was a successful test. So why am I still unable to cross the screen?...

    Anyone have by chance any suggestions as to why it is continue to happen? Can I get a helping hand please? :/

  • 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

  • Satellite A60 - Hotkey Utility Driver not found

    Hello

    I had to do a clean reinstall of Windows XP, Service Pack 2 (not recovery discs) on the A60.
    I reinstalled all the drivers in the order on the list to install it, but when I try to install the Hotkey utility for display it stops and reports "driver not found".

    I have tried to install everything but the end upward with no FN keys, can not change the brightness or volume in fact that I did not sound at all!

    Can anyone help?
    Robin is soon

    Hello

    I am not sure what the problem may be, but as I see in the statement of the facilities is written:
    ...
    Toshiba hotkey utility for display V1.00.03SA
    Toshiba hotkey utility V1.00.08SA
    ...

    Did you follow this order?
    Try please install Toshiba hotkey utility V1.00.08SA at the beginning and then Toshiba hotkey utility for display V1.00.03SA.
    After doing this installation utility V1.00.07SA TOSHIBA.

    MI is logical to install hotkey utility first.

    Please post the result.

  • Error retrieving Tecra A6 (hard drive not found. Error: F3E1000001)

    Hello
    I want to recovery my Tecra A6, but when I insert the first (of three) DVD and restart my system to get to the recovery

    Menu (when booting from the recovery DVD) just rebooted my laptop and every time I try this (very simple procedure) this

    happen again.
    That's why I tried to get it back to Win XP > Toshiba Recovery Wizard... in the first DVD in the 'BIN' folder there isn't

    a "RECOVERY.bat" batch file when I run this file will open a CMD window and checks are willing (and then the

    following text is displayed in the CMD window :)
    "

    Also my laptop works properly my recovery DVDs sounds great, I want to just recover my system because of the speed more

    in Win XP.
    Maybe there is a new firmware for my HARD drive or an update of the BIOS so that the laptop could detect my HDD.
    In Device Manager, my HARD drive is: HTS541010G9SA00

    Wait a minute: you try to run recovery as OS installation?

    The recovery procedure must be on path:
    Turn on the laptop and press the F12 key
    When the bootable devices appear put the first media for recovery in the optical disc drive
    Choose CD/DVD media from the list and press ENTER
    Follow the menu on the screen.

  • Hard drive not found - installing WXP on Equium P200

    Dear all

    I have an Equium P200 with Vista. I decided to remove vista and install windows XP. I put the XP and it goes through a verification process, I guess. At the end of the audit and after I pressed the button to install XP, I get the message "hard drive not found on this computer. Help me with as I want to install XP, my laptop?

    Concerning
    REDA

    The XP operating system could not find the HARD drive because you have not installed the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
    It is a SATA driver is needed t install the XP.

    During the operating system installation process, you will need to press the F6 key to include the external USB FDD drive SATA driver.

    It you don t have a USB FDD drive then nLite software could be a solution.

  • Hard drive not found error

    Hey everybody,

    My HP Pavilion G6 - 1164sa is coming up with an error "Hard drive not found" at the start up. It also makes a clicking sound. have you tried another hard drive to an old laptop in its place and the works, but because it is not the correct drivers installed for this model most things do not work. Need a solution to this? can I order a new hard drive for hp with all the drivers installed?

    Your drivers are posted on your support page > HERE

    You can order a hard drive at HP, but it will be a hard drive Virgin, as well as a new hdd retail except at much higher prices. I would like to replace the hard drive with a > hdd retail.

    If you plan to use recovery disks to reinstall Windows & software/drivers have one that is at least as large a capacity than the original, may be larger, but not smaller. If you have not written a set of recovery discs, you can usually order from HP for a small fee.

    If you can read the Windows 25-character license key attached to the bottom of the laptop there is possibility to download an ISO file, burn it to DVD and install Windows. Then you need to download your drivers on the support site. (Any size hard disk could be used with this option)
