• Start Windows XP external hard drive

  The power supply on the old computer my wife THAT XP has dropped.

  I had another autour power that I swapped in, but it's not a SATA connector for internal hard drive of the computer.

  I had a hard drive enclosure and put the drive in it. With the disk in it, l can connect the player to my computer via USB and read the files, so I know the drive works in this way.

  However, when I plug the hard drive into my wife's computer and try to boot from USB, Windows does not start from this player.

  Is it possible I can get Windows to boot from external USB drive?

  Is it possible I can get Windows to boot from external USB drive?

  You don't need to. NIP just to your local PC and a power supply lead molex to SATA converter. Only a few dollars at most. Or search online shops selling.
  

  Be careful! Are you sure that the spare power supply had all necessary connectors to your motherboard and had the same number of pins on each connector?

  How much RAM you have on your system? (Right click on "My Computer"-> properties)

  As a general rule, Windows XP does not work well if you have less than 1 GB or more of RAM.  What usually happens is that your RAM capacity is exceeded leading to overflow on virtual memory (the drive) to compensate for the need of RAM in the computer.  This causes your system to beat on your hard drive and slow down your system.

  If this is your problem, the options are to increase the RAM on your system or decrease the non-essential programs that launch at startup on your computer using a tool like Autoruns.

• Intel Rapid Storage Technology technology made disappear from HARD drive

  Recently my laptop stopped windows startup. When I turned it on, Intel Rapid Storage Technology 12.7.0.1936 technology window appeared and said that one of my SSD volume is off and asked me to press CTRL + I to access the Configuration utility. When I pressed on that, I could only select Reset Disks to Non-RAID option. So I chose, but windows still didn't start with a Operation System not found message.

  So I changed the following settings in the BIOS:

  • SATA Operation: AHCI (instead of Intel Smart Response Technology)
  • Technology Intel Quick Start: People with mobility reduced (and not active)
  • List start option: Legacy (instead of UEFI)

  Then I was able to start windows setup from usb. Windows repair did not help, I had The drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again. message. So I just temporary installed windows on a SSD (during the installation of my disc drive 500 GB HARD is not visible).

  I even booted ubuntu live USB, and it didn't detect my HARD disk drive.

  My HARD drive is not visible in the BIOS. It shows Fixed HDD: None .

  Plug my laptop:

  • Dell Inspiron 14 7000 series 7437
  • Intel Core i5-4210U CPU @ 1.7 GHz
  • mSata device LITEONIT LMS-32L6M m-(S1) 32GB
  • Windows 8.1

  Someone know any tool or approach how to unlock my RST HARD drive and make it visible again?

  The drive does not have (the first symptoms you describe were your imminent disk failure warning) and must be replaced.

• Problem with installing Windows on a hard drive, HARD drive does not get detected after installation

  Original title: help with hard drive of the computer.

  Flow of the problem:

  My aunt tried to install windows 7 on the previous copy of windows 8. Needless to say that it doesn't work and it has messed up the hard drive. So, I bought a vacuum. I formatted the hard drive using my other windows computer to have 2 partitions: a boot partition and system partition, and then used the program WinToUSB to install windows on the hard disk. The reason I did it is, because no matter how many times I changed the BIOS in my laptop of aunts, it wouldn't boot from the DVD player to load the windows software. After a few hours, I found WinToUSB. Once windows has been installed, I plugged it into the laptop. For a few hours, I didn't know what to do, because the computer does not recognize the hard drive (he said: "Not detected"). I decided to start from legacy, and then the screen deals

  «intell...» »

  and a bunch of dates, etc all the stuff on the screen to load legacy if you know what I mean.

  He said "not plugged in the media. Check the power cord.

  Then quickly changed screen before I can read almost anything and it goes to the normal windows screen black (with 4 colors). I said to myself, how can he be loading if the hard drive is not detected... Once it is loaded, he brought me to the blue screen (blue screen of death, if you want) I turned the computer on again, always noticing the hard drive was not detected. I ran all the recovery/repair options I could and turned off the laptop. I came back a few hours ago and I loaded the computer again and went into the BIOS.  He said that the hard drive has been detected and said the news about this, as usual. However, at the start of the legacy of windows loading screen, it said still not detected.  I then started to windows to see since it is now detected if that fixes the blue screen. Yet, there is no. I tried to go to the normal windows and screen remains blue. any ideas?

  Hello Chris,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

  According to the description, it seems that Windows was not properly installed on the hard drive. I'm not sure how to work the software from third-party manufacturers WinToUSB and reliable installation process is. Microsoft does not recommend using any third party tool to install Windows on your computer, the use of these third-party tools can cause serious damage to your computer.

  I would say to format the hard drive once more and try to install Windows through normal Windows installation process.

  Refer to the section "using the installation option custom if no operating system is installed" in the thread below.

  Installing and reinstalling Windows

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/installing-reinstalling-Windows#1TC=Windows-7

  If you are not able to install Windows on the hard drive at all, I suggest you to contact the hard drive manufacturer to obtain a diagnosis of material performed on the hard drive.

  Do not hesitate to write back for any further assistance with Windows, we will be happy to help you.

• SMU 8108 does not start with the new hard drive

  Hello

  I am currently using SMU 8108 with SMU-1062 q.

  The previous record was borken, so I had to install a new hard drive.

  The new hard drive is fommatted as NTFS format, and it is currently mounted on 8108.

  Unfortunately, I don't have recovery disk available to the general public so I am trying to install Windows 7 on a blank hard drive.

  When you start, the LED OK PWK light is all the time, orange DRIVE LED turns on for a few seconds only when I turn on the switch.

  LabVIEW RT switches are all off, I cleared CMOS several times to the Board of Directors, but the screen does not show anything.

  I tried to use my DVI monitor with any other device as well, and it worked, so there is no problem with the monitor.

  In addition, I tried to go in window safe mode by pressing F8 or Del it didn't work, so I can't see anything on the screen when his kick upward.

  I tried to put a lot of information I can it will be very appreciated if you can help me with this problem please.

  You said that you can't in Windows safe mode, you have installed Windows on the hard drive?  Are you able to get into the BIOS of the controller?

  If you are not able to access the BIOS for the controller, it may be due to bad RAM.  If you are uncomfortable installing RAM and you have a few extra laptop RAM of the same type (I think it's the DDR3 for your controller) laying around, you can try to replace the RAM.

  Was your hard drive damaged through certain events, or it just stop working?

• computer a824n of office doesn't start with an external hard drive 2T connected.

  My HP Pavilion a824n desktop computer won't start with my new external hard drive 2T connected via a USB port.  The computer stops on the first screen, which I think is the Intel screen, with options for press ESC, F1, F10.  But these keys do nothing.  The only way out is to press the power button until the computer turns off.

  If I disconnect the external drive before turning the power on, the computer starts normally, the internal hard drive.  After that, I can connect from the outside and it works correctly, so I don't think that there is a defect in it.

  I can get into the screen of the BIOS settings to start with the external drive disconnected and by pressing the F8 key.  But the BIOS shows adequate priority, with the hard drive screen internal first, second DVD, third CD.  The internal hard drive is correctly identified by the model number and the new external drive is not at all (because I started without the connected external.)

  My guess is that when I start with connected externally, BIOS thinks it's the hard drive, it is supposed to boot from.  How can I get the machine to boot from the internal drive?

  Your guess is correct. The hard part is that I'm not sure of an exact solution I've seen this be something difficult to solve.

  Have you tried to update the firmware of an external drive?

  Have you updated your PC BIOS? If you are still running XP, I think that it is the update to the BIOS of your PC:

• Satellite 1800-712 does not start with the new HARD drive

  Hello world.

  I am currently trying to install a new HARD drive in my notebook of 1800-712.
  I'm having a few trubbles as my Satellite won't start with my new HARD drive.

  I upgraded my BIOS to the latest version.
  The new HARD drive is a 40 GB Samsung.

  Any suggestions on what I need to do to make it all works?

  THX, Philippe

  Hello

  This device was shipped with 20 GB HARD drive.
  You again is 40 GB.
  I guess that the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive because of the size.

• How re - install windows 7 edition starter on the new hard drive in one aspire a D270 - 1806

  New on this site.

  I have an a D270 Aspire-1806.  I got the matrix of hard drive and no recovery disk was burned.  I replaced hard drive and need to find a clean Windows 7 Starter copy to install. I understand that I may use the same product key to check the impression to be installed.  I don't have a USB optical drive.  Is it possible to install from a USB flash drive? I have a fairly large [16 GB] flash drive (operating system must be the thing about flash player?) I can't seem to find the 7 starter version is...

  I've been at this for a few days now with little result.  Thanks in advance for the direction and help.

  Yet once, looks like a disk i/o error. Here's what I would do if I were in your shoes:

  (1) fix the WD to another computer with a box USB or SATA / USB and format it. Delete completely all the partitions on the disk in this way. Know what drive letter is assigned to it, run "cmd" and type "format D:" (without the quotes and this example assumes he has been attributed to the D drive letter).

  (2) if (1) completed, the installation and try again in the netbook. If this isn't the case, get a replacement drive.

• I am trying to reinstall Windows Vista from my drive hard can u help me__

  I need some help tryin to reinstall windows vista from my hard drive, I went on the recovery program who was here and burned a cd, but none of the programs on my computer it open so I need to know how to reinstall it from my disk hard please

  You normally have to boot from the recovery disc:

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to perform a recovery of the recovery hard disk Partition.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  For any questions/problems about the recovery process, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the computer.

  It is their software/recovery process, not Microsoft.

  See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner
