• DV9810us not to recognize the new HARD drive?

  Hello

  I tried recently update my HARD since the 160 GB drive it is initially supplied with due to disk failure. I installed the new HARD drive (a 160 GB, 1.5 GB/S 5400 RPM WD Scorpio Blue) and when I go to start the computer, it will display the HP logo and options before going off after less than 5 seconds. It restarts then 3 more times, before loading any bootable media that I inserted. Right now, I have an external HARD drive that I am running Ubuntu off the coast of so I can at least use the computer at the moment.

  At the BIOS screen, I'm going under Drive Diagnostics and it says IDE Device not found. I find this strange being the wrong drive I took out the laptop SATA. I inserted my Vista Ultimatex64 7 disc and when he asks an installation location, it says not found hard drives.

  The new drive is not dead either, I have hooked up to my desktop via a port SATA extra and is easily recognizable.

  You use the same drive connector in a cage and at the end of the old drive?  I saw where a new drive connector seems to be the same, but they do not work.

• Satellite L305D-S5881 does not recognize the new HARD drive

  Ok. I've had this laptop for a while now.
  It crashed recently. So, I tried to start it up.
  I got "Winload.exe missing or damaged".

  Fortunately, I found an answer to this!
  I got the Vista installation disc and inserted.
  I had this "PAGE_ERROR_IN_NONPAGED_AREA". I fixed too. Stick of 1 GB of RAM to my computer was bad.

  So I replaced it. And during the installation, it hangs. And beeps and undesirable.
  So I thought it was my hard drive. I have a new. (http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/adet.to?poid=431567 please TAKE a LOOK BEFORE RESPONDING).

  I (try) to install and it does nothing.
  I turn it on and it goes to this page with as my enthernet info. Then I go into the BIOS and it appears. I think I could install it wrong.

  Any help?

  Hello

  I think that the new HARD drive is not recognized, because you have not installed the SATA drivers!
  The new mobile phones support the new SATA controller and especially the drivers are not included in the Windows operating system.

  So, you must first include the SATA drivers before install you the operating system.
  AFAIK the L305D supports an AMD and ATI chipset and SATA drivers must be placed in the ATI graphics driver package.

  On the other hand, you could install the operating system without the use of SATA drivers.
  I think that the BIOS must contain the SATA mode option. Usually it s set to AHCI. Pass this option in compatibility mode and you should be able to install the operating system.

  Hello world.

• 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?

• Recovery disks do not work with the new hard drive?

  Hello, everyone.

  I have a laptop HP (pavilion dv7-1245dx) and the hard drive is dead. I had never gotten to burn my recovery disks, so I ordered new ones from HP. When I installed the new hard drive and popped in the disk to reinstall the operating system, it gave me the error message:

  "This PC is not supported by the system recovery discs. You can continue to recover this system with these discs. »

  Error code: 0100-30 FC-3602-3603

  The original hard drive was a Hitachi, 320 GB SATA

  The new hard drive is a WD 500 GB SATA

  Any assistance anyone can give would be great. :]

  Thank you for your time,

  EDIT: Trying to recover a Vista operating system

  For anyone who has the same problem, I found a solution. I cloned the original hard drive using the Clonezilla fallback option. After using Clonezilla to image on the new hard disk, the partition which held that most of the data of the laptop is not mountable, however the partition containing the restore partition was a perfect copy. I turned on the computer, hit escape to access the menu (for a list of options such as boot order, etc, which included an option for recovery), and then choose recovery option. While the recovery discs, I received from HP refused to work with the new hard drive, the Vista restored cloned recovery partition without flaw.

• My Satellite cannot recognize the new HARD drive

  I bought a new hard drive for my laptop. After installing it, I didn't get the message none found a fixed drive. I updated the bios from the Toshiba site and the same message is still there.

  I also tried the drive in another laptop. It has been recognized correctly, so I formatted one installed Windows XP Pro top. It worked ok so I tried again in my laptop but message saying put system disk and press any key. So I put XP disc in it starts the installation starts to transfer files and doesn't give the message no hard drive found so it still does not find the hard drive.

  Please can someone help?

  Hi Ken

  It would be nice to know the name of cell exactly.
  I guess that the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive due to the size of the HARD drive.

  It would be very interesting to know if the HARD disk is compatible with this laptop and supported

  Hello

  The size of the HARD drive is ok. BIOS of laptop computers should be able to handle the 40 and 60 GB HDD.
  The laptop supports an Enhanced IDE (ATA-5) interface.

  It seems that the mentioned HARD drive must be compatible

  Check it out.

• Satellite L30: CD player does not work with the new HARD drive

  Hello

  Just bought a new drive to HARD drive of 250 GB to transform my L30-115 has a home server.

  My problem is when both the new HARD disk drive DVD/CD-RW drive of origin are inserted into L30, the computer crashes and I can not even get into the BIOS (I have the latest edition).

  However, when I disconnect the CD player, system boots fine in a system of operating "plain" (command-line only) - BIOS recognizes very well and everything is fine. Idem: as I disconnect the HARD drive and connect the CD player, I am able to work (for example with a live linux system).

  The question is: * how to install a Windows operating system to a new HARD disk drive *? There is no option to boot from USB. What else can we do? I'm not going to invest more money into this old machine. I would like to install the Windows Home Server in there. There is no need to use the CD player later (all other operations will be performed by the network).

  Person not answering, so I'll do it.

  I was able to boot from USB external floppy drive, so the solution is to boot from external CD drive and install the system.

  It is not an exact solution, because the internal optical drive must be removed, so I'm looking forward to see updates to the BIOS level or other solutions for Toshiba.

• DV9000 freezes - not to recognize the new second Drive

  The laptop in question is a HP Pavilion DV9225us (DV9000) running Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit (SP 2) with 2 GB of RAM and a chip from AMD Turion 64 x 2 TL-60 2.00 GHz.

  I took the Samsung existing 120 GB drive in the second and replaced drive bay by a WD3200BEKT Scorpio 320 GB drive. After I put the new Scorpio drive with the correct HP caddy, the system would not start (for example, Windows Vista began to start, but hung on the screen empty which poster right before that with the Windows progress bar downstairs). I removed the Scorpio, and put it back in the original Samsung drive. Needed to run "Startup Repair" Windows several times during the sequence before priming it could start normally. (I guess he was trying to cancel the "fetid" caused by the player of Scorpion and trying to back up my original Samsung drive.) He finally managed (thank God).

  I upgraded my BIOS on the DV9000, but that did not work. I tried also to access the disk in the BIOS during the boot. The BIOS as a secondary drive was there, but when I tried to do a BIOS diagnostic on it, he is hooked. In fact, he hung even when I tried to make a diagnosis of BIOS on the main drive as well.

  After having contacted WD support, they suggested putting a jumper between pins 1 and 2 on the Scorpion to allow a PCN (reduced power setting) in the hope that it would recognize the HP. That no longer works.

  I just have another HP Pavilion DV9620us (DV9500) laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit (SP 2) with 2 GB of RAM and an AMD Turion 64 x 2 chip TL-58 1.90 GHz. It has also two drive bays. As an experiment, I installed the Scorpio 320 GB drive in

  the second drive bay in this laptop. This laptop IS able to recognize (for example, mount) the reader, so for the heck of it, I formatted the disc while he was there. Then I took the drive formatted and installed on the second drive bay in my first laptop (DV9000). However, this did not help, because again once the system wouldn't start.

  What is going on? Why my DV9500 laptop would be able to recognize and use the drive, but won't my DV9000? They do not use the same motherboard and BIOS?

  I know that the Samsung 120 GB drive uses a connection SATA 1 (1.5 GB / s) and the Scorpio 320 GB SATA 3 (3 GB / s). The DV9000 does not support a SATA 3 drive? It's crazy to me, sounds, but I am so frustrated now, I think that anything...

  Service and Maintenance Manual for this model: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01311536.pdf

  indicate it is officially supported: 200, 160, 120, 100 - or hard disks of 80 GB.

  Other size may work, but not in the official list of supported.

  While some of the dv9500 models claims to "support all SATA drives.

• Windows 8 - recovery disks do not work with the new hard drive

  My HDD had major errors of io only 1 month laptop warranty. I can't clone the original disc, its dead. I'm relatively new to Win8 but I bought the factory HP recovery disks for my model and have tried repeatedly to restore the OS win8 without success even after support technical advice ofHP and several friends with more experience than me (and I got an A + cert for more than a decade)-I have no idea why he keeps fails. I ordered another set of discs and tried another new hard drive. The log shows all the hardware in the way and a sysprep not found error at the end. What Miss me?

  Problem solved! After another half-dozen recovery more attempts and lose more money on a new HP certified hard drive with the correct part number, I decided to give up Windows 8 and turn this laptop in a Hackintosh, I now on Mac OS X!  Microsoft has gone too far now, only not with the security of windows, instead of trying to make sure they get every penny they can from each PC running windows. His self defeat really. Those who cannot or do not want to pay the cost will simply find an alternative. I'm just tired of the headaches and of constantly having to spend my precious time proving that I have a valid OS license for every computer that I've updated or repair. Forcing people to buy the same item several times is aggravating and false. Sorry, just fan frustration.

• 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.

• Satellite A200-1TS - Win XP does not recognize the new HARD drive

  Dear Forum,

  My HD crashed, I installed a new, but XP will not recognize.
  I created a new partition with Partition wizard home edition, and with a Mini XP bootable CD I can access Hd, reading and writing, but if I try to install XP from the CD of origin of the system does not have a usable hard drive.
  Any part of the material blocking this new HD? How can I install windows XP on a hard disk new?

  Can you please tell us what model of laptop do you have?
  Maybe you need to load the SATA driver?

• Windows 7 does not recognize the new hard drive during installation

  My Pavilion hard drive died.  I ordered a new identical and it arises.  Windows 7 starts to load (since a key USB as my DVD died a long time ago) and gets it Windows on the screen asking me to select a player.  But there is no choice to drive in the menu and I can't go any further.  Is the new drive dead too?  Someone suggested that I need to reinstall a 'chip game' and if that's the problem, how to do that?  Thank you!!

  I'm glad that the hard drive is seen now.  To the extent where the DVD player, if you have purchased a new DVD player for the laptop, and you have it installed, then there is something else involved here.  In this MANUAL, it seems that it is just a simple operation change out.  Must be another reason it does not work or is recognized in the BIOS.

• Satellite 2805-S603 does not recognize the new HARD drive

  The old HDD that laptop died a horrible, another bougth - HM040HC (PATA) of Samsung, but the HARD drive is not set! What?
  Too recent for 2805 controller?

  Seems that you have purchased a HARD drive badly and is not compatible!
  I discovered that IE Toshiba MK3017GAP HARD drive is compatible with your laptop.
  This HARD disk supports an ATA-5 interface and about 30GB.

  If you want to be sure that the HARD drive works in your laptop 100% please contact the service provider authorized in your country and order the HARD drive support.
