  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.

• Replace an ATA with a SATA hard drive

  I have a Pavilion dv9000 Laptop. My hard drive gets full. Is someone can you please tell me if I can replace the ATA hard drive with a SATA hard drive.

  Not sure where you are seeng anything ATA hard disk. Your page Specs here makes no distinction in one way or another, but the Service manual here specifies SATA hdd.

• 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:

• computer does not start with attached external hard drive

  I have the 4540 s if an external hard drive is connected, it will not start.

  I have the internal hard drive set as master boot.

  The message that appears indicates Press esc, to enter the boot options, but which does nothing.

  I spent an hour with hp support-useless.

  I did a BIOS update - no help.

  All advice appreciated.

  Not sure what you mean about the reference of the warehouse.

  I've updated the USB ports and that solved the problem.

  Thanks for the reply.

• Satellite L450D - 13P cannot start with the new HARD drive

  Hello

  IME novice steve and real computers.
  Two years ago I have toshiba purchest mine 2 is the toshiba satellite L450D - 13p runing windows7! And my partners is the toshiba satellite pro 7 also runing windows!

  The problem is that my hard drive is scrap, so I purchest a new 500 gb HDD, instaled it put in the disk I got with him and nothing?
  Hope any 1 here can help me

  Thanks a lot steve!

  In general you can swap the HARD drive or update it with more a (ability), but the installation of recovery should work. It is important to use compatible HARD drive for certain system.
  I did several times in the past. No problem at all.

  After HDD change the value of the BIOS default settings and start recovery installation using created the recovery disc.

  Start your laptop and when you see Toshiba welcome screen pres F12 repeatedly to enter the boot menu.
  When the menu is displayed on the screen, put the recovery DVD in the optical disc drive.
  In the menu choose you CD/DVD and press ENTER.
  Installation of recovery should start.

  Please do so and send feedback.

• 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?

• HP envy Phoenix: win 7 does not start with connected external hard drive

  I have a desktop HP Envy Phoenix with i7 chip and an SSD for the OS.  If I connect via USB external drive of 3 TB WD for the backup of the system does not start while it is attached.  The pc seems to be trying to boot from the outside, can't find the OS and does not start.  It will start fine with small external drives connected.  It is the size of the disk? Is there a way to fix this?

  Hello

  The WD drives seem to pose problems of my potential.  I have used other brands such as Seagate and Hitachi without running into problems with external USB drives causing the system to boot.  Maybe it's the USB adapter that I use which does not cause starting problems.

  @tpetras

  I used the adapter HP USB 3, which uses drivers NEC or TI and has never had a problem starting via a USB external (non - WD) readers.

• I can't start windows with my corrupted hard drive

  I bought a new hard drive to add extra space since my first hard disk is only 60 GB.  I bought a Samsung HD161HJ with 160 GB.  As well my original and new hard drive is SATA hard drives.  I hooked it up and everything worked well for about a week.  Then, I woke up to find a message saying that my Samsung HD player has been altered and I had to restart my computer.

  When I restarted the computer, the windows loading screen came on but then the black screen and nothing would happen.  I've decided to disable my SATA slot for the new disc corrupted in the system configuration, and then when I booted up everything was back to normal.  However, I want to have two drives connected and be able to boot windows to use special software for corrupted hard disks and try and solve the problem.  But every time I turn on the SATA slot for my new hard drive windows does not start.

  I know that the SATA drives need riders to determine the master and the slave.  So what is the cause of problems with me start windows with a secondary corrupt drive?  My main drive includes all the data necessary to start. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  If you can try to borrow a disk since you only intend to test and should install with no internet connection
  access. And since its XP, you can use your own product Code.

  You had set them up properly when they were working. Something has happened since then, such
  like a drive failure.

  I hope this helps.

• Installation of Windows XP on TecraS3 with a 320 GB SATA hard drive

  Hallo,
  during the installation of Windows XP on a Tecra S3-SATA hard drive is not discovered.

  Details:
  Laptop: Toshiba Tecra S3, model PTS30E
  Hard drive: Toshiba MK3252GSX 320 S - ATA
  Driver used: raid-drv - 20071023162302.zip (from Toshiba)
  Toshiba-support document: TSB001272

  For the installation of Windows I used correspondent support-Toshiba-document 'TSB001272' the external driver for SATA. The disk with the driver is used for installation, but the hard drive is still unknown.

  PS: The Linux Suse 10.2 installation runs without problem.

  Question: Who knows the good driver for Windows XP? Thank you.

  Manfred Alpers

  > For the Windows installation I used correspondent support-Toshiba-document 'TSB001272' the external driver for SATA. The disk with the driver is used for installation, but the hard drive is still unknown.

  I think you mean this Toshiba document:

  http://209.167.114.38/support/TechSupport/TSBs/all/-TSB001272.htm

  Hey buddy the RAID driver can be found on the Toshiba driver page.
  Use this driver as part of the tool called nLite. You can create a new XP CD and could include the RAID driver using this free tool.

  I did this procedure several times and it still worked!

• Installing a hard drive SATA 2 with the first hard drive is an IDE hard drive

  I have an M50 - 8187 think Centre and I see on the motherboard and in the manual that there is a 1 SATA and SATA 2 connection. I tried to plug in a SATA 2 hard drive but when I connect it using a SATA data cable, there is nothing recognizable in the BIOS.

  I took a 30 GB IDE HDD and hung like a slave and the BIOS recognized immediately.

  My question is, if a SATA hard drive can be used on the M50 series think Center and if so, what do I do I do get recognized in the BIOS SATA 2 controller. I've updated the BIOS with the latest version, but it did not help. I don't see where in the BIOS to enable the SATA.

  Help about my problem is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

  The word "support" has a connotation that is specific to HP - it usually means were that he tested with, sold with, etc.   I do not think that these discs were available when this system was built/designed, and thus the moniker "supported" official cannot be assured.

  Everything that is said - I see not where there is a problem with this player.   I have a m9600t HP of a similar vintage - I swapped my Seagate 750 GB drive for a 7200 RPM Hitachi 2 TB drive and added an another 2 TB "Green" WD drive as a secondary drive.   No problems.

  I have used Ghost of Norton to clone the old boot HDD on the Hitachi.  Made sure the D: drive Alias: "recovery partition" was kept the same size and then said Norton to use all the space of the new to develop on the c: drive.  Works very well.   The WD drive - I partitioned as a large drive E:.   Made sure to partition to NTFS.

  Your mileage may vary - but I think it should work correctly...

• HP Pavilion s5570t desktop computer: single SATA hard drive configured as RAID in BIOS

  Our small computer lab has two offices of Pavilion Slimline s5570t that we have recently upgraded to Windows 10. I noticed that in the configuration of the BIOS for the SATA hard drive, it is defined as RAID. I don't know why. The thing that brought this to my attention, is that the software Intel Rapid storage technology constantly shows about 25% CPU use and there high usage of the disk when computers start first which makes them unusable until the software installs.

  My question is can I change the setting of the BIOS SATA AHCI with no problems and that will solve the problem? The Intel rapid storage technology software version is v9.5.7.1002. It is obviously old and I could update, but I wonder if the real issue is the BIOS setting.

  Thank you

  JohnD

  Thank you for the additional information.

  I'm not sure it tells you, but I changed these settings without having to reinstall the operating system.  I suppose it could be correct.

• You can start a windows Mac hard drive

  Before selling my PC, I retained my SATA hard drive that has Windows XP. And now, I was wondering if I can boot to it directly by going to the start menu in the start by pressing option. My friend told me that there is an option for bootcamping but it's to create a partition, but tbh I don't want that. I want only one HDD for windows whenever I need. I've heard that maybe I need to install my Windows XP drivers to make it work in mac hardware. Is it possible to fix this?

  my MacBook Pro 13-inch, mid-2012 is

  Its probably doable though I've ever tried.

  Boot Camp can be used without creating a new partition, as long as you already have an unused partition or HD. I ran my Windows XP and Win7 installed on a HD in my MacPro 2008 (mac tower with 4 HD bays).

  Issues that come to mind are as follows:

  • You will probably need to pilots. They are normally downloaded via the Boot Camp Assistant application. Most of them is 3rd party software and divers with some exceptions for a few specific Apple things. These are installed after the Windows installation is performed when you perform an installation of Boot Camp, so I would imaging that it should be possible to apply any existing Windows Installer.
  • I vaguely remember Windows being only unable booted from an external hard drive so that might be a problem.
  • I also wonder if the Boot Camp is necessary in step of format and prepare to install Windows to set up a Windows OSX Bootstrapper.

• Second SATA hard drive not detected by Bios and Device Manager

  Original title: second SATA hard drive

  Hard drive not detected by the Bios and the device under Vista Home Premiun Manager

  Hi trinitario,.

  Because the hard drive is not detected in the BIOS also, it may be due to a hard drive configuration that should be changed or a rider. If you need to get in touch with a Local tech-store for assistance.

  Note: change in the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
