T530, not replaceable hard drive (no screws!)
I just got a Thinkpad T530, and the first thing I wanted to do is placed in an old hard drive. It is usually * incredible * easy to do on any computer, and I expected to be especially true in a lenovo.
It seems that my computer missing a screw, or the user's guide is incorrect. Incidentally, very frustrating:
The user guide T530 says that you remove the screws located here:
But on my computer, it has no screws here! I tried to remove all the screws in the vicinity and the plate did not move, and it's obviously anchored at this time:
Lenovo sent me the wrong T530 by mistake while I have another that I am about to return, and that there is no a screw here either. When you lift up on the keyboard at the top, it is obvious that the HD is located in this area (but it is not accessible from the top)
I've hunted all around the internet and I see someone complaining about this, but I have 2 computers with the same thing. Is it a defect? Am totally missed something? It's been 2 months to try to move things with lenovo and it is super annoying. I would appreciate any advice on how to talk about HD on this.

My MBP is showing a "Remote Disc" in the list of devices. It's not a hard drive.
My MBP is showing a "Remote Disc" in the list of devices. It's not a hard drive. So where did it come from? I 'get info' on this subject, but it doesn't tell me a thing. He sees the disk drives elsewhere in my house? It's to see my iPhone as a remote disc? The photo with him is a DVD or CD gold. It drives me crazy. I am running OSX Sierra.
This has been on the Mac for a while now... Here is a link that can better describe it.

Tecra S1 - Bios does not detect HARD drive
Hi, first time poster, long drive date.
I have a friends laptop with me an old S1, its hard drive has failed. (Even tried it on my USB adapter to diagnose).
I had another IDE HDD which works like a dream.
I can even install Windows up to a point with the exception of when the computer wants to do the first restart of the second phase of the installation. (Not on CD).In the bios the HARD drive is not detected a 0 MB for the read command.
I tested the USB HARD drive. So works perfectly. will try another hard drive there tomorrow see what is happening.I tried the recovery CD aswell. But she also can not detect the hard drive.
Finally, I even reflashed the Bios even if it was the last version 2.50.
Still did not change.If I'm just at a loss here. Tomorrow I'll do the following.
Try a 3rd HDD IDE into the machine.
Opening of the case and see if I can find the CMOS battery to replace or remove for a minute or 2 to see what is happening.
Is obviously a problem of bios of the HARD drive is detected. Has anyone ever encountered this before?Windows / ERD Commander / Partition Magic 8 all finding the end hard drive.
Thanks for listening to my dribble that I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall being close.Kind regards
Dave
What drive did you use and what size it it?
I think that not all HARD drive would be compatible because of the 28-bit LBA.The 28-bit LBA supports hard disks up to 128GB and if the IDE controller supports only 28-bit LBA then it may happen that more large drives would not be recognized by the BIOS.

Installation of my CS6 on my macbook pro which is not a hard drive?
How to install the program CS6, I bought on my Macbook pro? It's not a hard drive. I tried to download each version of the trial through creative cloud but then when I try to enter my serial number, he says this isn't a legitimate serial number but is the one who sent me.

Hello:
If there is not a spare part located inside the box in the drive Bay, you're out of luck.
They are sold only with the purchase of an HP hard drive.
I searched everywhere for the people and can't find that even resemble those in a dc5800/dc7800, dc7900 or Elite 8000-8300, 6200 Pro.
I gave everyone the reservist status sets I have.

Cannot install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HARD drive
Hello
My HARD drive died, so I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660 - 1 9 to an SSD.
I made a USB bootable with Win8 and starts very well.The problem is that it does not detect my SSD, so I can proceed with the installation.
SSD appears in BIOS but not in Windows Installer.
He said that there is a missing driver.I downloaded the AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even in this case, after you have selected the only rider that appears, it says no new device found.
I tried to change the SATA from AHCI mode to compatibility mode and it's the same thing...
What can I do?
Thanks for the help.
Best regards
Bruno MoreiraMore old Windows XP need a driver AHCI Intel's but I think this isn't a problem with SATA driver missing because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers to recognize the SSD or HARD disk drive.
In addition, the installation of the OS should be possible even if the driver would be added for this procedure, you must use the "compatibility" mode
As you say, the compatibility mode is not working too, so I think there is another problem.However, page driver Toshiba also provides a driver Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) (Windows 8 - updated) you can try to add during the installation of the OS.
But I m wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
Have you tried to format the SSD using a different computer, then install Win 8?
Give it a try. -
Portege M400 - Windows 7 does not see HARD drive
Hi, I have the problem, I am trying to install Windows 7 on my M400, but he didn't see the hard drive.
The hard drive is surly ok, ' couse I tested it in the other netbook, I can see it in the BIOS, but any program installation can not.(I tried both Ubuntu and XP Tablet Edition)
Hi Radzik,
I think that Windows doesn't see the drive HARD due missing RAID drivers Windows needs of these RAID drivers before you can install it because it doesn t contain these drivers for the disk HARD is not recognized. You can download the RAID driver from Toshiba Web site.
You can then create a new installation disc using nLite with drivers or copy the drivers on an external floppy drive. Start Windows XP after you press F6 to load drivers from floppy drive.
