The installation of XP Pro cannot find the hard drive

The machine is running XP Pro 32-bit, and I am "upgrading" to 64-bit to work with AutoCAD.  When I boot on the 64-bit Setup installation CD can not find the hard drive and the demolitions.  The drive is already formatted to NTFS.

You try to install on a SATA drive or your disks are on an add-in controller card and the Windows XP Installer x 64 doesn't have the required driver for the controller so it can't detect the drive.

You have three options:

1 - Use the F6 method to provide the installer for Windows XP x 64 mass storage drivers.  Drivers MUST be provided on a floppy disk, the Setup program will not accept the drivers from other media sources.

2 - enter your CD of Windows XP x 64 drivers.  Note you will find reference to SP3 slipstreaming your Windows CD which you can install Windows on a SATA drive, but please note that Windows XP x 64 doesn't have a SP3, SP2 is the latest service pack for Windows XP x 64.

3 (for the integrated SATA controllers) go into the BIOS and put the controller in IDE, most motherboard with SATA controllers mode on Board have an option to do this.  When mode IDE Windows XP Setup will see the drive and you will be able to install Windows.  Once Windows is installed, you will be able to install the SATA drivers from the installation of Windows XP operational.  You install the SATA drivers before changing the SATA mode controller in the BIOS, or when the Windows boot up upward a BSOD with a 0x7b error.

  • Cannot find external hard drives - Windows XP Media Center

    I just got a new external HDD two days ago in the case where my old drive never fails. I have connected both to my laptop and copy all my old files from the old drive to the new. Yesterday, I clicked on 'Stop' under 'Remove hardware safely', and both readers suddenly stopped being recognized by my computer. When I plug in, they light up and run, but their records are not displayed in my computer. I don't get any error message (or any kind of message), but they always show upward under Device Manager. I tried to move the USB cables, restarted my computer, update device drivers, do a system restore and run a virus scan (some files on my drive C: disappeared recently, however, the scanner found nothing). I also tried to attach external hard drives to other computers, but they are still not recognized. Please help - I have files that cannot be replaced and the new cost of drive hard $100, and I don't want to go through the hassle of trying to get a replacement without warranty or invoice.

    Hard drives not recognized in all other computers as well? There lies the problem.

    Try to connect to some other computers (XP, Vista or 7) and see if the problem repeats.

    If so, your disks are dead (because no computers detect them).

    Download and run the utility to diagnoses of the Web site of the manufacturer of the hard disk to check for disk errors.

  • Satellite L305D S5895: Win 7 cannot find the HARD drive or cannot format the HARD drive on a clean install

    I have laptop Satellite L305D S5895 of the customer. It was delivered to me by the customer who tried to install Windows XP Pro, Vista and none would install.
    He said he tried all the CD that he had finally dropped on it and delivered it to me installation.

    When I got the score have been removed, so I tried to install Win 7 and when I do a custom install, I get an error indicating that the hard drive can not be formatted on disk 0 or it will give an error that no hard drives have been found.

    I have reset the bios default and no matter what I do, it won't format or find the hard drive. I was going to upgrade the bios, but the only way I found to upgrade the bios is once windows is installed.

    Everyone has ideas about this laptop so I can get a system installed. I checked the bios and there is no parameters for a sata, raid or IDE disk drive, so it seems that this version cannot be changed.

    Thanks for anyone who can help you.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - installation of Linux RHES4 cannot find HARD drive

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 and it comes with preinstalled Vista, I loaded the XP due to the fact that I was going to see if I could load linux Redhat Enterprise 4 and dualboot both operating systems at the same time but discovered this "DOUBLE BOOT" means that you can have 2 operating systems but can only bott one or the other...

    Anyway, my problem is that I want to just install Redhat Enterprise 4 linux on my laptop, but when it comes to partition the hard drive I get an error message saying "cannot find the hard drive to create file systems" then click OK and restart.

    Any ideas people?

    Chris.

    Hello

    I m not a Linux expert, but I think that the reason is missing SATA drivers.
    Normally, on each notebook with SATA HDD, you need SATA drivers to recognize the HARD drive before installing OS.
    If you install Windows XP or Vista, you need storage for this Manager. The drivers can be loaded with an external floppy drive.
    But I put t know how it works on Linux

    An alternative you can change in the mode of AHCI Compatible HARD disk BIOS. Then, you don't need drivers and your disk should be recognized correctly.

    Otherwise, I recommend this thread: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=14

  • Cannot install windows XP it said hard drives are not connected & windows can not find the hard drives

    I got an asus computer notebook windows vista, upgrade from vista to windows 7, now I'm not able to do a clean install of windows xp, when I try to install XP, it says that hard drives are not connected & windows cannot find not the hard drives, so once again installed windows 7, is there a way to overcome this problem Why do I get the message windows xp does not detect hard drives? I even formatted the hard drive & tried to install Xp, but still, I get the same message.

    The answers will be appreciated...

    Thank you

    Because the Windows XP installation CD does not have the necessary disk controller drivers.  You will need a floppy drive to provide the drivers of controller for the installation program, or you will need to burn a CD of Windows XP with the controller drivers slipstreamed into the installation.  A CD of Windows XP with SP2 included may have the necessary drivers.

  • Satellite Pro L500-1W4 - cannot install Win 7 Pro after changing the HARD drive

    Hi all

    I need assistance with Windows.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro with Windows 7 preinstalled pro and the recovery DVD to downgrade to Windows XP Pro.
    I had to change the hard drive, so I try to reinstall Windows 7 from the recovery CD, but it does not work. He said that it is not possible to install this on this machine.

    So I tried with Windows XP CD recovery and no problem
    I'd rather have windows Windows 7 but I do not know how to retrieve
    Last information, the Windows XP CD recovery came with the laptop that Windows 7 was made by the store who sold me the computer.

    Thank you for your help
    Julie

    As far as I know there is not a kind of limitation and if there is no problem with the original recovery for Win7 disc, you should be able to install it on any HARD disk that you use with your machine.
    I upgraded HDD to the SSD on my installation of picture machine and the restore worked without any problems.

    To be honest, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but the Win7 installation disc is somehow suspect for me. I don't know what model of laptop you have exactly, but somehow, I feel you didn t get original drive Win7. Best evidence is the Windows XP Home edition recovery disk. The prinziple with Win7 is the same and it should works.

    When you use this disk you should have the menu as shown on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

    This document explains how this works with the original installation disc of recovery.

  • Cannot find folders in the left column under the hard drive.

    I can't see all the folders of photos already imported and edited. I can go to them in Solution Explorer and do a right click and use (open with lightroom), but can't find the hard drive in lightroom. I have put some things in the wrong sense behind lightrooms. already moved files of photos that I moved. applications must always appear with a (?) on their right? I'm also fairly new to lightroom and don't know if I'm trying to open them the correct way. do I need to import each time? thought I should be able to just go on the hard disk on the left column and find the files.

    P.S., im using windows if that makes a difference.

    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    do I need to import each time?

    This is a no!  Lightroom will only store a reference to a photo (and record) in its database.

    Re: files Panel - some facts-

    The "Files" Panel may not appear on the left of the screen.

    To restore it is visible, click on any of the other Panel headers and check the line "folders."

    Kids 'Triangles' when you click Open or close the drives and folders that you have imported into lightroom. (and ONLY records! nothing else)

    If your folders are visible and they do not present a [?], then they have been moved or renamed in the OS and Lightroom now does not know their whereabouts. The LR catalog database knows the original location of the files when you did import.

    You will need to know where, or which is named, files are now and the re - link in Lightroom.

    Satellite A110 Pro PSAB1C-GM80XE

    Question is this. SATA CONTROLLER TOAST the laptop?

    Story.

    It seems as if the laptop hard drive has failed.
    Prior to the laptop, it would get BSOD.
    It would, however, go back to windows XP.

    After that, sometimes it wouldn't restart, he would try to boot from lan as if there is no hard drives.
    I check the bios.

    There is a! in front of the model of the drive. I can't change it, reset default does not change.
    No update of the bios was already made.
    Page drivers laptop says I have to install the update to the bios from windows xp... I can't do it of course.

    I bought a new hard drive for the laptop. WD Scorpio Blue (pretty standard) 160Gig

    The laptop recognize model to drive hard in the bios, but once again with the exclamation point in front of the name of the template.

    BIOS can see, but nothing else. No windows CD is able to watch the HD.

    Once again, it is the sata controller or can someone point me to an update of the bios I can do with a USB key.
    Should I just throw the laptop in the trash? I expect to give it a new life with a new hard drive and own bones.

    Hello

    What is the BSOD STOP Code?

    If 0x0000007B, it means that Windows cannot find a SATA driver for the SATA controller. To solve this BSOD, set the SATA Mode in the BIOS in "COMPATIBILITY" mode, or use a USB floppy with the SATA driver on this subject during the installation of Windows. Press F6 when you are prompted to install a 3rd party storage driver.

    Or otherwise, to use the original Toshiba Recovery disk to install Windows.

    I do not mean the exclamation point in the BIOS that the HARD drive is faulty, it means that the HARD drive has the highest priority boot on my laptop.

  • Wizard BootCamp 6.0.1 running on El Capitan 10.11.5 installs single partition BootCamp on the disc Fusion consisting of 128 SSD part G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive on an iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014), but not the part of the HARD drive?

    How is it assistant BootCamp 6.0.1 running on El Capitan 10.11.5 installs single partition BootCamp on the disc Fusion consisting of 128 SSD part G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive on an iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014), but not the part of the HARD drive?

    This has two questions:

    1 capacity of SSDS faster for Fusion drive has been reduced. Therefore less effective for the reader of the merger. For example if I need to create a partition of 80G for my windows bootcamp partition, only 48 G will be left in the drive of the merger.

    2. ability of the bootcamp windows partition becomes very limited, cannot be greater than 120 G.

    3. even when I try to fuse out of the drive of fusion in the 128 G SSD and 3 TB of HARD disk, and then run the BootCamp assistant to create the bootcamp partition start from scratch to reinstall El Capitan only on the HARD drive (without drive Fusion), it won't let me do anything, it just shows an error that says something like "a person has created additional partitions on this drive please select. another disc. But there is nothing else to choose.

    Before my (5 K, 27 inches, end of 2014 retina) to El Capitan Yosemite, I was able to use the previous version of the wizard BootCamp 5.x to create the partition, bootcamp on the drive of the merger. And it will be divided in the fuser unit in two and insert the Bootcamp partition (with the size I chose, which can go up to 1 TB) between two partitions of MAC OSX.

    The disk partitions resulting from it, will be the partition MAC OS x on the SSD, the partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #1, partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #3.

    Then there is the BootCamp partition on the HARD drive partition #2.

    Is there a way to get what I need?

    That is what has been described in this notice of two canoes?

    Installation of Windows on a Boot Camp partition on a drive of TB Fusion 3

    n-on-a-3-TB-fusion-drive http://twocanoes.com/Winclone/support/installing-Windows-on-a-Boot-Camp-partitio

    Thank you.

    After having worked on those weeks, I realized that I need very painfully (by first going back to Yosemite and bootcamp 5 to escape all the limitations of El Capitan and BootCamp 6) I want to share here. Someone at - it other smarter solutions welcome.

    Note these steps and mentioned drivers only work for my version of iMAC, retina 5K late 2014. If you have other material, please search on the web to see which driver will work first. And all of these steps are destructive and assumed that you first take backup. It is only shared for interest only. Readers will have to bear your own risk.

    A. take backup

    1. take a backup completes my iMac Fusion Drive using Time Machine. Then restart with a Yosemite USB installation and select Terminal from the menu on the top bar.

    B. fuse out of the merger in two physical disks drive: SSD + HDD

    1. in the terminal, type the commands in show what the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the disc fusion)

    Cs diskutil list

    2. in the terminal, type commands for the fuse of the fuser unit and separate them to an SSD and a HARD drive.  Note: All data will be destroyed in the drive of the merger. There are many articles in this community on how this could be done,

    diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical Volume ID

    CS diskutil remove logical Volume Group ID

    This should finish within 30 minutes. If you have taken more time, this means that your reader of fusion has been altered somehow.

    I hit this issue too.  To use this command to remove the fusion drive hung up, and I need to do the hard to scramble a few sections of data in the hard disk partition table using the controls to tell the OSX this hard drive is a new without partitions:

    Cat >/dev/random /dev/disk0 (where/dev/disk0 is the SSD)

    and repeat for disk1/dev/disk1 which is the HARD drive in my case).

    This command will not return anything, but expect to press Ctrl-Z to end after 1 minute.

    2 create independent partitions (non-fusionend) for the installation of OSX.

    Borne Terminal output, and select disk utility, in disk utility, select the drive to HARD disk (and not on the partition), you will see the error message and you will be asked if you want to fix the fuser unit, click on ignore. Then wipe the HARD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"HARD drive".

    3. Repeat step 2, and then erase the SSD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"SSD ".

    C. install on the HARD disk as drive didier autonomous not fusion.

    1. go to Yosemite install screen and proceed with the installation of a clean copy of Yosemite to the iMAC. then connect you.

    D. use BootCamp Yosemite f5 to install windows.

    1. launch Yosemite bootcamp.

    2. check the two checkboxes for creating the USB drive to install windows 7 or a later version, and to download the windows supports the Apple software.  Do not click on the last box to install or remove windows pie creating real bootcamp partition again.

    3. it may take several hours to complete this function of your internet b/w and also performance of your USB drive.

    4. If you install Windows 7 (like me), then the downloaded drivers will not work for you, this will cause the issue of the device driver appleDSS.sys does not like this driver and others are too recent for windows 7 to use.  Also, your keyboard and mouse may not work even if you try to plug in a USB external keyboard or a mouse. You need to replace the drivers downloaded by others (the Boot Camp 5.1.5769 drivers that I find in this link: Software Support of Boot Camp 5.1.5769.) (Note: this driver is material specific only works for my iMAC model).  Once you have downloaded it, copy the two files in the root directory of the USB installation to replace the original ones. It's specific and material available for download somewhere on the Apple Site.

    -From the Finder, delete the $WinPE$ and the Boot Camp of the FLASH PLAYER files.

    -Expand the old drivers for Boot Camp 5.1.5769 (two records and another file) on your desktop.

    -Copy the $WinPE$ and records of Boot Camp in the FLASH PLAYER.

    5. open Boot Camp Assistant again and only select the third option, install Windows 7.

    It will show you the screen to select what installation disk, select HARD drive.

    Then drag the slide bar to select the size of the Bootcamp partition for windows you want, knowing that there is a restriction for windows installed using training camp on a MAC that the last byte of the BootCamp partition must reside in the first byte of the 2.2 T of each physical hard drive.

    For my case, I need only 500G for bootcamp and leaving behind 1.7 to for my MAC OSX partition immediately after the bootcamp partition and an another 0.8 T MAC OSX partition after him. 1.7 TB and the partition of MAC OS x 0.8 TB well exploited in the meantime bootcamp partition, will be merged into a fusion drive by Bootcamp. Thus, you will end up with total 2.5 TB of disk space in a logical drive - fuser.

    Go to this link for more details on this subject: n-on-a-3-tb-fusion-drive http://twocanoes.com/winclone/support/installing-windows-on-a-boot-camp-partitio

    6. continue the process to partition the hard drive, then it will restart automatically in windows installation mode, install windows.

    7. once the installation is complete, check that windows is functioning correctly.

    E. Si you want to upgrade to windows 10 Windows 7.

    1 if you plan to upgrade to windows 10, you'll find that the windows IE v.8 7 is no longer works and had many problems to load the page.  Then when you try to download the latest version of Internet Explorer, you get an error that you need at least windows 7 SP1 to support the last IE.  Life is too complicated, just download the google Chrome browser, then search for download windows 10 and then run the Microsoft valuation tool to upgrade.

    2 but before upgrade you, unplug all your MAC USB drives, otherwise, you will find that, after having spent an hour downloading the windows 10 software, the upgrade will fail with the error "/ dynamicupdate...» ». It is an inexplicable mistake that no one seems to understand why. There are articles with proven results that the removal of all USB drives before running the windows 10 upgrade tool will correct this problem.

    F. reinstall OSX El Capitan

    Once your target windows system (if windows 7, windows 8 or windows 10) works very well.  You can continue to create again your Fusion drive and reinstall OSX El Capitan.

    1. Insert the install of OSX Yosemite rear USB to the iMAC, and then select Restart Windows, or stop, and then turn the MAC once again.

    2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.

    3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.

    4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.

    5. in the terminal, type the command 'diskutil list cs' and you should see nothing to prove that there are no existing fusion drive yet.

    6 type the 'diskutil list' command to list all disks and partitions.

    The SSD has two partitions, the/dev/disk0s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk0s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD around 121 G.

    The HARD drive has two partitions, the/dev/disk1s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk1s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD.

    G. delete the logical storage of nucleus on the HARD disk drive and it refuses with the DSS to form a merger with faster performance disc

    1. Insert the install of OSX El Capitan rear USB to the iMAC, and then select Restart Windows, or stop, and then turn the MAC once again.

    2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.

    3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.

    4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.

    5. in the terminal, type orders for (to show what are the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the logical drive). You should see the logical volume to basic storage group created using two partitions on the hard drive, 1.7 TB and TB 0.8 created when we run the Yosemite Bootcamp to install windows.

    Cs diskutil list

    6. in the terminal, type commands to delete logical drives from basic storage.  Note: All data will be destroyed in the logical drive.

    diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical Volume ID

    CS diskutil remove logical Volume Group ID

    7. tap "diskutil list" command lists all the resulting partitions. You should see that the HARD drive has the following partitions.

    / dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 121,3 disk0

    1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

    2: Apple_HFS GB SSD 121.0 disk0s2

    / dev/disk1 (internal, physical):

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    0: GUID_partition_scheme * 3.0 to disk1

    1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1

    2: Apple_HFS 1.7 Untitled TB disk1s2

    3: disk1s3 Apple_Boot Recovery 650.0 MB HD

    4: Microsoft database BOOTCAMP 503.0 GB disk1s4

    5: Apple_HFS 801,4 Untitled GB disk1s5

    8 type the following commands to create the logical volumes group, named "myLVG" (or the name) of fuser using the usable for OSX to the SSD and HDD partitions.

    diskutil cs to create "myLVG" disk0s2 disk1s2 disk1s5

    Note: Mark the group id of logical volume shown in the results.

    In my case, I want to book the last partition as standalone partition disk1s5 no-fusionend, so I can use it to raise the back, or format it in FAT32 to allow the exchange of data between the MAC and boot camp.

    So, I do not understand this last partition in the drive of the merger. in my case, the command that I used is: diskutil cs to create "myLVG" disk0s2 disk1s2

    9 create logical volumes named "Macintosh HD" (or you call it) on the logical volume group we just created for the reader of the merger.

  • Satellite Pro M40, failure of the hard drive - the new disk restore disk?

    Hello

    My Satellite Pro M40 hard drive died and I want to install a new drive. Unfortunately, my old drive is 60Gig and the Web of Toshiba parts site has only 40 GB or 80 gig drives.

    I have problems with the recovery disk if the hard drive is not exactly the same thing?

    Your advice would be appreciated.

    No, he should t be any problem with the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    On the recovery CD, you'll find a Windows OS, Toshiba drivers and utilities and software further.
    These entire applications are packed into image files.

    You should only be sure that the HARD drive is compatible with your laptop and it will be recognized in the BIOS.
    Then simply to boot from the recovery and installation CD must start.
