• Hitachi Lifestudio external hard drive not recognized on Windows Vitsa... why?

  I have a hitachi lifestudio external hard drive and it works great 50% of the time... the other 50%, I fight because it not being recognized on my computer or laptop (both vista).  I plugged it to my computer now and it will only recognize the player but is not the one with my files that I need.  I have two USB cords connected and it was working fine yesterday!  Now all of a sudden it won't work at all.  I got and rehooked many times now and still nothing.  Other USB ports are filled with our wireless mouse and others.  Is there a way to force vista to recognize something?

• Tecra M9-185 - 750 GB HARD drive not recognized

  I have Tecra M9-185 (PTM91E-0G4045G3) with BIOS Version 1.90 dated the 29.02.2008.
  It came with HARD drive of 160 GB, which is quite old and needs replacement. I want to upgrade the HARD drive. I tried to use the 750 GB HARD drive, but it was not recognized by the BIOS.

  Is it possible to upgrade the HARD disk? Is there a limit to the ability of the new HARD disk that can be installed?

  Hello

  Of course, the HARD drive can be upgraded.
  The laptop supports the SATA controller. The SATA controller is not limited to a special HARD drive size of my knowledge. 750Go should be supported too. But it might be possible that the BIOS is not able to manage these dimensions.
  Try a different SATA HDD with the smaller size.

  But question: why you n t choose an SSD (250 GB)?
  I have improved my Tecra A10 with a 250 GB SSD and the performance gain is amazing. The machine is running much faster and quieter

• Tecra S3: SATA hard drive not recognized after XP updates

  Windows has recently completed an automatic update on a Tecra S3 equipped with a 60 GB HARD drive SATA.
  After the reboot required for updaates windows generates a BSOD.

  I've traced the error and found that the system can not find the hard drive.
  Even when I use the XP cd and restore/repair console without a hard drive is located.

  When I check the BIOS hard drive is there.
  I removed the hard drive and used an external case and determined that the hard drive works fine.

  Hello

  Tecra S3 supports RAID.
  In order to install Win XP RAID driver is needed!

  The RAID driver can be found on the European driver Toshiba page.
  It s a v 1.01.0005 for Win XP.

  You can include the RAID driver using nLite. This free tool allows you to include the RAID driver in the Win XP disc.
  Google for nLite for more details.

• Hard drives not recognized on Precision 650

  Hello

  I have a Dell Precision Workstation 650 2003 System. I have 4 hard drives of 250 GB on in more the 40 GB boot drive. Of data readers were on the secondary IDE channel, while the other two were on a PCI - IDE card.

  Recently, I decided to upgrade all drives in my system. For my boot drive, I have upgraded to a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST380215A HDD 80 GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA100. For my data drives, I went with 4 ST3750640A of Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 750 GB 7200 RPM Ultra ATA100 IDE drives.

  After having replaced the drives, I was able to install CentOS Linux 5.1 on the 80 GB boot drive. I also could see the 750 GB drives attached to the PCI - IDE card. However, the 750 GB drives connected to the secondary IDE channel are not recognized by the BIOS or the operating system.

  I tried the following command to get the discs to work:

  (i) update of the BIOS on the workstation to version A05. It is the latest version of the BIOS available from Dell for my system.

  (II) new IDE cables are used for the secondary IDE channel.

  (III) tried all four disks to see if any combination works.

  (IV) tried to put just a walk on the secondary channel.

  (v) tried "cable select" setting the jumpers on the drives.

  (VI) configuration of the riders ' master/slave' I tried on disks.

  (VII) tried other riders to Seagate where you put an extra jumper on two pins closest feeding on both drives.

  (VIII) tried erasing memory NVRAM using keystrokes - Alt + F, Alt + E, and then Alt + B. After reboot, the system performed the automatic IDE configuration, but couldn't detect the 750 GB drives.

  (IX) tried the IDE cable that I use for the PCI card, which is able to detect the discs correctly.

  (x) tried to connect the drives on the primary IDE channel.

  None of these things have worked. I don't want to go back to the 250 GB drives because I want more storage. Y at - it a trick of hardware/software/firmware that I missed? Is there a way I can use the 750 GB drives on my system?

  Thank you

• Equium - HARD drive not recognized in Windows XP

  I replaced the HARD drive in the laptop, because the original had a catastrophic faulure. I replaced the HARD drive correctly (as far as I can see) but when I come to re - install Windows XP HARD drive may not be recognized.

  Any ideas?

  Hi potters.

  What model of laptop you have exactly?

  It would be important to know because if you have a model that uses SATA hard drives need drivers Intel Storage Manager you can install Windows XP.

  But in this case, you should check other forum threads. You will find hundreds of discussions on installing XP on SATA hard drive.

• External Toshiba HARD drive not recognized on USB 2.0 ports, but only on USB 3.0

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba drive external HARD 750 GB USB2.0/USB3.0
  Now, this HARD drive is not recognized on USB 2.0 ports from my laptop (same thing on my desktop computer) but only on the USB 3.0 port.

  I have try on port USB2.0 computers different (desktop, laptop) but it doesn't work. The LED is the lightning, but the drive does not appear in the file Explorer.

  You have any ideas?

  Thank you

  > Now this HARD drive is not recognized on USB 2.0 ports from my laptop (same thing on my desktop computer) but only on the USB 3.0 port

  USB 3.0 port 900mA feeds. The USB 2.0 port common provides 500mA.
  I think that the HARD drive needs more 500mA power in order to work properly.

  So if you want to use the HARD drive on USB 2.0 ports, I recommend you to use a USB Y cable which allows to connect the HARD drive to two USB 2.0 ports

• Satellite M70: HARD drive not recognized external - various XP error messages

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite M70 and I have a Western Digital external hard drive.
  Initially, it worked great, I was able to put my large collection of music, etc. on it and run a computer off to save space on my integrated HD.

  But recently I had problems with XP not recognizing HD or be able to write in it. It appears in my computer, then disappear, often randomly when I write new files to it.
  I reformatted the hard drive to NTFS as it ran originally as FAT32.

  I updated my BIOS as well, but I'm out of ideas.

  Anyone else had similar problems with XP?

  Thank you

  Will be

  Have you thought about external HARD drive failure?
  Perhaps failure of HARD drive and, therefore, it cannot be recognized correctly.

• 3 50 PX1394U external hard drive not recognized

  I recently bought the external hard drive, Toshiba PX1394U 3 50. I followed the instructions for the installation and everything went as planned either he found material etc. and returned with the message of successful installation.

  However, when I go in my computer that there should be an icon for the external hard drive and it does not exist.

  I saw the thread, recommending using REGEN, but this has no effect on the problem - the icon still does not appear in my computer.

  I use a laptop computer from a different manufacture running Windows XP and all updates are loaded.

  I also had the same problem when loading on my desk.

  Any ideas?

  If you get the message installation was successful, you should find the HARD disk in disk management.
  Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management > disk management

  Maybe you first create a partition or format, but normally you will see players all recognized.

• Re: Toshiba Store Art Exteranal 320 HARD drive not recognized

  Hello

  I have a problem with my 320 GB Toshiba Store Art HDD Exteranal.
  I bought it a week ago and everything worked well on different systems: Win 7 (64), Vista (32), XP Pro.
  But today when I tried to use it it displays a message that * unrecognized device * and it cannot install the driver for this device.

  Unfortunately there are no drivers to download for this device drivers Toshiba page.
  I checked it on Win 7 (64) and Vista (32) - same problem.
  I remember, the last time that I used it was on XP Pro.

  I checked the internet for a solution, but in the end I had to write a message here.

  Hope for more help.

  > I bought a week ago and everything worked well on different systems: Win 7 (64), Vista (32), XP Pro.
  > But today when I tried to use it it displays a message this device not recognized and it cannot install the driver for this device.

  If the HARD drive worked perfectly in the past without the use of drivers, then I guess that this has nothing to do with a missing driver.

  In your case I would recommend to check and test the HARD disk on another computer/laptop running a Win XP or Vista.

  If the drive HARD wouldn't connect and would not be functioning with the help of other computers, then a hardware problem is possible

  PS: this external USB hard drives are Plug & Play compatible and so a pilot should not be necessary!

• Satellite A200 - hard drive not recognized

  Hello. Deploy a satellite A200.

  Original problem would not initialize only power light and hard drive light came on a second, nothing on the screen, not access to the parameters of F2. Reinstall memory, no go, deleted the test and drive hard and read disc hard ok in an external enclosure. With disk hard deleted computer will start after market boot disk and running program diagnosis ok. Can now access the settings of F2.

  Format external hard drive, reinstall and start with the startup disk, hard disk appears in the bios, the test runs diagnostic ok.
  Tried to install Windows XP and XP pro and windows twice starts to install and then comes up with an error saying there is no hard drive present, even if the Bios and a diagnostic boot disk at the same time recognize the hard drive.
  Tried another hard drive with the same problem, not recognized.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  Have you tried to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk? Normally with this record everything should work fine because it s pre-tested and specifically designed for your laptop.
  Check this box!

  In the worst cases, your HARD drive is faulty and you need a new. The HARD drive seems to have random failures.

• Re: Satellite L500 - HARD drive not recognized in BIOS

  Hi guys,.

  Yesterday, my mother-in-law has been using his computer and play some games. The computer froze and I had to force a shutdown. Upon restart, the computer continued to give the following message is displayed:
  PXE - E61: Media control failure, control cable (or something similar)

  I removed the HARD drive and replaced him, with no avail. I checked the BIOS, and the disc HARD is still not save in there, so not sure the hell happened.

  Anyone has any ideas on this? I'm looking at a new HARD drive otherwise.

  See you soon,.

  Nathan.

  Hey,.

  If the HARD drive is not recognized in the BIOS more I think that it s faulty and you need a new. This is the reason why you get up a PXE boot message initially.

  Is your laptop still under warranty? Then you can get a new HDD to an authorized service provider for free.
  Otherwise, you can buy yourself but it s not expensive. You can use each interface SATA 2.5 HARD drive.

• 2nd hard drive not recognized

  I have maybe over my head.  I have a HP p6680t, Windows 7, with an original hard drive 1 TB Samsung.  I recently got a 2 TB WD harddrive and installed in the port 1 (original in port 0).   Everything turned on, successfully, loaded the driver automatically but found no new disk in 'computer '.  Intel 'Rapid Storage Technology' found the new HDD and asked if I wanted to use as RAID1 with success.   I said yes.  He said that having created successfully the image after 3 hours.  Today, however, I like to use not as the RAID, but as an additional drive.  How he recognized by Windows?

  Hello

  First thing to do is update the TSRI softwarefrom the Intel site. Then, use a third-party imaging product to take a full backup image of the Array volume.  The TSRI Intel allows to check that you have only one volume of table with two hard drives. Now use TSRI to reset to normal table.

• Impossible to install Win 7 on Satellite C660 - 26H - HARD drive not recognized

  I reinstall windows 7 on a Satellite C660 - 26H
  The hard drive failed on this laptop, so I added a new Toshiba 160 GB sata drive.

  When I try to install windows 7 I get the error message

  "no device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok"

  I get this when I would normally be choose which windows installation disc too. I guess I need driver sata for the laptop?

  Where can I get the driver for this laptop sata?
  Or do I have driver sata for the new hard drive?

  Any help appreciated, thanks!

  Hello

  First check to see if the new HARD drive is listed and recognized in the BIOS. It must appear on the first page of the BIOS.

  If his list, and save the changes by pressing F10 and access to the BIOS.

  I'm not very well if you need the SATA drivers because AFAIK Win 7 should already contain a standard SATA driver from m.

  However, the SATA drivers are on Intel page.
  You should look for Intel Storage Manager.
