Tecra M9 - does not recognize the 320 GB HARD drive

Hello @ all,

I tried to install the HARD drive, but it seems to be not recognized by the BIOS. Any chance to get this problem resolved?
With Acronis Disk Man. I get an error message: No. HDD installed!
BIOS version is 1.80, HARD drive is a Seagate ST9320421ASG (Momentus 7200.3 320).

Thanks in advance

Hello!

Have you tested the HARD drive in a laptop or in an external enclosure? Maybe it s faulty.
Or you test another HARD drive in this notebook.

Normally a 320 should work in Tecra M9.
There is a new version of the BIOS on the Toshiba, but I doubt that the problem of the article, but try to update.

Good bye

    Hello

    HP 6120 t (vista) BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller. The other SATA disk and the DVD player came with the machine.

    I hooked my old 200 GB Hitachi drive via the controller. I also put the jumbers in the present as a slave. I also took the original WD drive and just connect the IDE hard drive. BIOS do not show any drive at all.

    I would try something possible at this time I have a lot of my data on the old disk.

    Thanks appreciate any suggestion.

    Try to enter the BIOS and I believe under change of Advanced menu of SATA to IDE or Enhanced.

  • Portege M400: Windows XP does not recognize the 160 GB HARD drive

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Portege M400 with Windows XP Tablet Edition. Now, I bought a new 160 GB drive. This disk can be recognized within the location Phase Installation of XP. Do I need a new driver?

    Best regards

    Karl Weber

    Hello

    You have to install and include the Portege M400 RAID drivers.
    It's a bit confusing because little protégé M400 does not support 2 HARD drive, but the RAID driver is required.

    Please check the Toshiba European page and download the RAID driver. During the installation of XP her you have to press the F6 key to include the driver from an external USB FDD drive.

    After you have included the don t RAID driver format HARD drive because this will lead to the driver losing.

  • Satellite A55-S106 does not recognize the 160 GB HARD drive

    I replaced the 60 GB IDE HDD in my laptop Toshiba Satellite A55-S106 with a 160 GB one of Western Digital.

    I've restored a Ghost 10 image to the new drive on a hard disk external. The computer still recognizes only 60 GB. Belarc and HD Tune to see a 160 GB drive, but show the volumes as being only 60 GB.

    Disk management Windows show 93,16 GB as unallocated.
    I am running Windows XP SP3.

    Someone at - it ideas? The BIOS can be crippled somehow? I can't find anything in the BIOS that seems to address hard drive size.

    I started directly on the Ghost recovery CD after installing the new drive. Should I have formatted, it firstly somehow? Here I used the original recovery CD to recover everything first and then restored the Ghost image?

    I put a 160 GB drive in an old 1999 Dell desktop running Windows 98 and no problems like that. It is hard to believe that a laptop from 2005 would have this problem. It is, however, my first attempt at using a version of Ghost Windows hard drive recovery.

    > I started directly on the Ghost recovery CD after installing the new drive. Should I have formatted, it firstly somehow?

    Yes, I suppose the HARD drive was not formatted in NTFS file format.
    This is why I would recommend booting from original Toshiba Recovery CD and then check if the HARD drive has been recognized correctly!

    Please check first!

  • Vista does not recognize the 640 GB hard drive

    How can I get Windows Vista to recognize my Western Digital 640 GB with 640 GB hard drives instead of 596?

    Sorry to tell you that everything you have * is * acknowledged. Although
    you think you have a 640 GB drive, you actually have a 596 GB disk.
     
    All drive manufacturers qualify hard 1 GB 1 000 000 000 bytes, while
    the rest of the computer, including the windows world, defines it as 2 to
    the 30th power bytes (1 073 741 824). So is a disk of 640 billion bytes
    actually about 596 GB.
     
    To some people pointed out that the official international standard defines
    the 'G' of GB as 1 billion, not 1 073 741 824. Correct if they
    are, using the binary value of GB is so well established in the
    World of computing that I consider using the decimal value of 1 billion of
    be misleading marketing.

  • my computer does not recognize the WD external hard drive

    I use WD My Book external hard drive in my laptop (Vista) DELL for extra storage space. But all of a sudden I don't see in my computer!

    When I looked at , , info., (in addition to the "OS" & "Recovery") I saw "'unknown disc', so I tried see its properties by right-clicking, then I saw"WD My Book external hard drive"name in it and she said"working properly "; but when I played with it, I must have done something wrong, this name of 'unknown disc' missing from the list in my computer. How can I make my WD get work again?

  • Tecra 8200 does not recognize the RAM in Slot B

    Since a few days my Tecra does not recognize the RAM Module in Slot B. Before everything was fine. I have 2x256MB Modules. I was wondering why my Tecra becomes slower, the last days, and then I saw that I have now only 256 MB of RAM. I have change the slot Modules A to B. I checked also the two modules of RAM with MEMCheck. Both are ok! Just at the moment where I put a RAM for Slot B and none in slot A my Tecra won't start! If I insert the two module my Tecra boots but with just 256 MB of RAM.

    Is there another solution then buying a new laptop? Is my Mainbord damaged?

    I was so contently with my Tecra ;-) so far

    The slot B is probably defective. Only solution for me is to buy compatible 512 MB module and use it in A slot. According to specification for laptop, your device can handle with max 512 MB of RAM.

  • Tecra M1 does not recognize the DVD drive after replacement

    I am trying to install a new drive CD-RW/DVD-RW on a Tecra M1; However, when the computer does not recognize the drive.

    Is there a solution to this?

    Thank you

    Colin

    For me it s case.
    I would say that the BIOS can't handle the new player properly because of the wrong master/slave/c-salt settings
    Readers slim for computers laptops support setting master/slave/c-salt settings and these settings can only be changed by changing the rider as on desktop drives.
    So it is very important that you purchase a compatible player and supported because disks with incorrect settings will not work.

    Before buying a car, you should ask the service provider to Toshiba for a caught player supported and compatible

  • Tecra M9 does not recognize the SDHC 4 GB

    Tecra M9, Windows XP

    The internal card reader does not recognize the SDHC 4 GB (provider: "extreme memory"), being inserted in camera or PNA not connected via USB, no problem to read or write to the card.
    No idea how to get the card to work with this card reader?

    Hello

    I have an idea.
    I think that the SDHC 4 GB card is not recognized because a Microsoft patch is not installed on your XP operating system.

    Microsoft has released this document which should help you to solve this problem:

  • Satellite A100 does not recognize the new CD/DVD drive

    I bought a new CD/DVD drive for my A-100 of Toshiba Satellite age of four year old went crazy and wouldn't work.

    Unfortunately, I bought a DVD of Toshiba Portege A100 / reader Combo CD - RW that is not exactly what I had before the jump that it will still work.

    Unfortunately, I'm surprised because it does not recognize the CD/DVD drive at all: /...
    It seems to work, and the light blinks I think that it is not broken.

    I just plugged it because that's the way I was told to do.
    I need to download the drivers to operate?
    It will work on my laptop, or is it a "most recent" CD player that will not work with my laptop?

    The BIOS does not recognize this new CURIOUS because the player seems not to be fully compatible.
    I think there bad master/slave/c-salt settings

    As you know these settings can be changed on the external CD/DVD drive for desktop switching jumper. But it is not possible for computers portable CD/DVD players.

    You can solve it only purchase a new compatible disc.

    Usually the ASP in your country could help you buy this disc of these guys here
    However, you can consult the user manual if there are a few details on the compatible sides.

  • XP does not recognize a second IDE hard drive.

    Summary:
    Added a PATA IDE drive so both are on the same cable.

    System information:
    IBM ThinkCentre P4 2 .66GHz (bought in 2005 approximately)
    Upgraded RAM from 1 GB to?, pin DIMM 184 form factor.
    Hard Drive IDE 1 x 40 GB - Standard - ATA-100-7200 RPM.
    Genuine XP; SP3 downloaded and installed by me.
    MT - M 8187-WBK S/N: KCGL5NB
    8187 is a type for a M50 number.

    My assumptions of hard disk:
    It is Setup to have a disk of expansion under the DVD with separate IDE cables and no doubt when both these are used you are in a primary + secondary situation.  I think that I am looking to get a configuration 'Double' where both are on the same IDE cable.

    Action:
    Removed the floppy drive and put the old HD in its place; It is the primary IDE hard drive.
    Put the new HD located under the old and attached the new cable at the same time.
    Use the power connector of the DVD on the new drive; I could so far to an extension of the extra drive Bay.
    I checked the BIOS boot menus, but could not see anything that needs to be changed.

    Problem:
    The system shows no signs of the new command.
    It still shows the floppy drive.

    I hope you can help,
    Peter

    USB is not supported, and even if that were the case, put the file on a USB drive would significantly reduce the performance of Windows.

    To speed things you can locate the swap file on a separate partition (should be the first partition, about 10 GB is more than enough) on a second hard drive.

  • Tecra 8000 does not recognize the new HARD drive

    I read on this forum and Google search, but nothing helped.

    I think the disk on Tecra 8000 (Pentium II, 266 Mhz) is "dead".
    I tried to replace it with another laptop to see if that would work.

    The laptop does not, even if I put just like the original.
    Y at - it somehow special or what I have to change something in the Bios?

    Hello

    Don t need to change BIOS settings

    As long as you use the compatible HARD disk, the BIOS should recognize the HARD drive automatically without big problems
    What drive did you use? What size, interface, etc.

    The Tecra 8000 is an oldie and I think that you could use only the 4 GB; 6 GB; 9 GB; 10 GB; 14GB IDE hard drives.

    More large hard disks would be not recognized by the BIOS.

  • Tecra S11 does not recognize the Art store

    Hi guys,.

    I have a new S11 with Win7, 64-bit and a disc Toshiba StorE art. The S11 will not see the drive, but my other machines running XP and Vista have no problem to recognize.

    Any ideas on how to access the drive with the S11? Input much appreciated!

    I recommend you to follow:
    -install the OS using the Toshiba recovery disc or HARD drive recovery procedure
    -Install all updates from Microsoft
    -reconnect the HARD drive

    Must work on Win7 32/64 bits.
