• 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?

• Hard drive not recognized on the computer after the upgrade to Vista

  I just upgraded to vista a my ext hdd does not come in computer how to install human and format the hard drive?

  What's your Vista-compatible external HARD drive? http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/

  Have you loaded the proper drivers, firmware or software for the external drive and your version of Vista?  He can't just plug-and-play, especially if this isn't original USB key but a convert.

  Once it is recognized by the system (if it is compatible and once the drivers are installed), go to start / Control Panel / administrative tools / computer management / management of records and right click on the external drive that shows there or format to change the drive letter or a similar task.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Upgrade to msata but now original 320 GB HARD drive not recognized

  Hi all

  I just upgraded to an msata that works quite well. However, the HARD disk refuses to be recognized in the BIOS or in windows 7, I just get a 2100 on startup error. I can boot windows after pressing a few keys, but the hard drive is nowhere to be seen in windows. Is it possible to update the list of hard disk or do a low-level format?

  I sent the laptop back on Monday, received Lenovo on Tuesday and I got it back on Friday all fixed! The notes with the laptop says that the motherboard has been replaced, so the sata connection must have been faulty as I suspected.

  Very, very impressed with the service!

• Speed up the options for an old HP a1224n. The upgrade possible CPU or HARD drive?

  My a1224n is stuck in programs such as Rhapsody and ITunes run.  I have 4 teenagers with mp3 players, and it seems that more they get, slow tracks of the machine.  Under XP SP3, motherboard is 3 goldfish with a LGA775 socket.  I have all the RAM pushed in there, I can get.  It is not a problem of spyware, I clean, degrag and regedit regularly, firmer all the essential background programs.  It was a long introduction to my question, which is: would changing the CPU or install a higher speed of disk HARD save me, or am I wasting time?  If so, what limits me on the selection of a CPU?  This is a speed of frontside motherboard, socket or something else (I know heat load and the processor speed max are issues).  ... Change my hard drive or install a second hard drive?  I would replace the current 200 GB 7200 rpm HDD with a 600 10 k RPM HARD drive, or simply add a second HD and empty all my media files?  A lot of questions, can't find someone who knows the answers.  Need help.  Here are some indications of the fact sheets: processor Intel Pentium 4 519 (P), 3.06 GHz, 533 MHz front bus, Socket 775.  Motherboard: ASUS LRTP-(3 fish red-GL8E), the front bus at 800 MHz, chipset northbridge 915GV, southbridge Intel ICH6.

  Hello:

  If you have installed 4 GB of DDR PC3200, then if you install used without work, processor Pentium 4 650 3.4/800/2M I think you will see a notable improvement on your current configuration.

  I can't guarantee this will work, but I'm sure it will, based on the information below.

  If you don't have PC2700, your memory performance will suffer with the 800 MHz FSB P4 650 processor.

  Attached are the specs of your motherboard:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00361570

  I have a dc7100 with the same chipset, so I'm pretty sure that a P4 650 will work in your. I have a P4 640 (3.2 GHz) I got it for free, so I installed which instead of the 650. If I were to buy one, I would have bought the 650. I installed a P4 650 in a Dell Dimension 4700 with the same Intel 915 chipset. Works great! I upgraded the Dell of a P4 520 to 650 2.8/800/1M and this was a significant improvement. You would increase by nearly 400 MHz and 266 Mhz FSB speed.

  HP has drivers for PC for Windows Vista and Windows 7 64-bit. The only processors that can work with an OS that is supported with the chipset 915, 64 bits are P4 6xx processors. So, I guess that your PC supports processors P4 6xx up to 3.4 GHz, as shown in the plug from motherboard.

  You can get a P4 650 used but works for less than $25 on eBay.

  I do not see an update of the BIOS that requires support new processors, so you should be good to go.

  If your HARD drive is less than 60% full, I see no need for an additional HARD drive. I don't even know if the computer supports a 10 K rpm HARD drive.  I don't know if your machine's HARD drive controller supports SATA II HDD's 3.0 GB/S transfer speeds. I don't think he does.  So no matter what HARD drive you buy would go to 1.5 GB/S SATA transfer speed and you could you jumper the drive for this work.

  The main disadvantage that I see on your PC, it is impossible to install a PCie graphics adapter. Your integrated graphics (GMA900) will not work the graphics of Windows Aero in Windows 7 or Vista. It is not a show-stopper, but a lot of people have improved their PC / laptop computers equipped with the integrated GMA 900 graphics card just for this discover later and were very disappointed. If you were able to install a PCIe graphics card, say a cheap 8400GS 512 MB fanless nVidia card, it would have released a memory embedded amount and you would have noticed an improvement even more.

  So, for an investment of $25 in a P4 processor 650 you could squeeze a few more horses (no pun intended) out of it.

  Other than that, I would look to buy a new PC / opportunity made from 2008. They should all be able to Windows 7 because they would have been Windows Vista capable in 2008.

  I hope this helps.

• Second Hard Drive not recognized / climb (but it IS listed in the Device Manager)

  I have a HP Compaq DC7800 convertible mini tower running than Win 7 Pro 64-bit

  I installed a second hard drive, and while I can see listed in the Device Manager, it is not mounted.

  That is to say, it is not in the computer > field at all.

  The second hard drive is a Hitachi HDT721032SLA360 ATA Device

  Under the hardware ID, it is said: IDE\DiskHitachi_HDT721032SLA360___ST2OA38E

  I thought it was a driver problem. Device Manager indicates that it uses the Microsoft 6.1.7600.16385 driver.

  I can't find a Hitachi driver for this player. My understanding was that this drive would NOT need drivers.

  I have it in the plug of P5 (I think it is P5, it's at the end of the cable with the primary hard drive) and I have a data cable sata from the sata port on the rear of the disc in the slot sata on the motherboard next to the slot in the place where the main in drive is plugged.

  The only sites that list the drivers for this drive are all spam (thanks, google) sites.

  What I have to change something in my Bios?

  Thanks in advance.

  If the drive is listed in the device but not 'computer' Manager, it must be mounted or a new volume must be created. Please see HP - partitioning and names of hard drives (Windows 7) for more information on using the Windows Disk Management Console.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• The upgrade on Pavilion 9667ea hard drive to SSD

  I think the upgrade my computer laptop 9667ea Pavilion by replacing the first hard drive of 160 GB with an SSD, as the Cruicial M500 240 GB SATA 111, or similar.

  Could you tell me if there are problems in doing this, because I see no other posted messages it may be according to the model of your laptop?

  I advanced and bought the SSD (Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB), which has been installed on the HP Pavilion dv9667ea. Everything went well and I used the Samsung software cloning with the SSD drive (I backed up the C drive beforehand). I have power and data cables, so I need just the package base. The new 250 GB SSD drive replaces the original 160 GB hard drive, I decided to take out the other drive so hard 160 GB. The laptop is much faster at startup and is also faster by using the programs on the laptop. As there are now no hard drives on the laptop, there is now virtually no fan noise, which was inconvenient.

  Thank you for your advice.

• Second HARD drive not recognized by windows 8 but is recognized by the sata bios

  Second disk sata hard of not appearing is not on my computer and disk management. However, the hard drive is displayed in the bios. I am running windows 8 and the hard drive has been used in another cpu with linux installed on it, I want to format the hard drive and use it to store data.

  Thanks, Thomas

  Hello

  Yes, it should work... I didn't know that you were able to do...

  If you can remove the entire partitions... If you can reformat it to NTFS on Linux, you do too much, or just wait and do in Windows.

  Parted Magic is actually a program Linux incidentally...

• New HARD drive not recognized by the SAS on PowerEdge T410 controller

  One of the drives has failed on my RAID 1 configuration, so I bought a non-certified dell, Seagate Barracuda 500 GB drive (other readers were 250 GB).

  I turned off the machine and swapped the failed drive with a new one (cable connections)

  When I boot in Sas (SAS 6 ir) controller, it shows that the disk is missing.

  I turned off the server and changed the cables from the primary to the new disk, to see if it would make a difference. None. Watch again ' driving status: missing.

  What I have to buy dell certified readers? I'm doing something wrong? Or is the obsolete RAID controller?

  Any help would be appreciated! My primary hardrive gives signs of failure. I have a picture of him, but I'd like to get it mirrored on my new record ASAP.

  Thank you

  Hello director87

  Go to the RAID properties > manage table > manage Hot Spare disks. You should see a list of all drives that detects the controller. Your RAID 1 drives will be listed as primary and secondary. The new drive should not be anything in the area of the 'State of the drive. Use the arrows to select the new disk and keys to assign it as a spare drive + /. After you assign it as a spare drive it should start to rebuild.

  If you don't see the drive in the list, then check the screen of the SAS topology. If you see in the SAS topology then use CTL D to shoot to the top of the additional options. Let me know if it will allow you to do something to the reader in this screen. If you don't see in SAS topology then it does not appear that the controller is able to communicate properly with this player.

  Thank you

• 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

• 2nd HARD drive not recognized at startup

  HP Pavilion dv7-1245dx Notebook upgraded to Windows 7 Vista fm. Try to add nine more fast (7200 RPM) HDD (Seagate momentus 320) 2nd drive Bay. Can hear both drives running. Doesn't appear in disk management.

  1. someone with experience w / this?

  2. is it possible to add the 2nd internal drive or should I get a USB/esata cable & adapter?

  paulebolin wrote:

  There is a review of YouTube mobile of that same computer laptop and it shows a 2nd HARD drive installed and working.

  My BIOS boot order does not list only 1 of 2 separate HDD shows primary and secondary diagnostic tests.

  My BIOS is very, very basic and is not very many options.

  Would be - that the problem be attributed to the speed (7200) faster or the power supply to the new HARD drive?

  The service guide says that you have a hard drive configuration 2 x 320 GB 5400 RPM, but I don't think that the speed must be at 5400 RPM. However, the speed of the two drives should be the same I guess. As 2 x 7200 rpm or 2 x 5400 RPM...

• Internal SATA II hard drive not recognized by Windows 7

  I upgraded to the i7 platform today and started with a new installation of windows 7, but I also kept my old 2 disks hard disk 0 (Hitatchi 250 GB) drive (Hitatchi 500 GB) 1 2 (Seagate 1 TB drive) - the 1 TB HARD drive is a new one. However, the BIOS recognizes all drives, Windows 7 does not recognize 1 TB HARD drive... Disk management is. Any Suggestions? I want to be able to use the walk that I have information on the 500, but it is 90% full... (Pulling my hair out trying to find a way for this drive be seen by windows 7).

  Intel LGA 1156 MB
  4 GB RAM DDR3 1066
  Intel Core i7 2.8 GHz
  MSI NVIDIA 250 GTS 512 MB video.

  I managed to solve the problem. I had EXACTLY the same problem and was able to resolve this down to a bug in Windows 7.

  Windows 7 SATA not recognized

  I did a blog post on this subject in which I linked above. However, I will also give you the solution here:

  The answer:
  Start-> right click computer-> properties
  Device Manager (left side)
  Click on the arrow of disks to view the list
  Find your reader you have installed here
  Make a right click on the drive-> uninstall
  After the HDD SATA disappears, click on action-> Scan for hardware changes menu

• 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

• External hard drive not recognized

  It seems as if my Macbook Superdrive is not recognized by both my MacBook after upgrade to El Capitan.  I took my external drive to the Apple iStore, it has been tested and I've been told that it does not.  Then, I bought a new disc (R1999.30 - a lot of money!), and after connecting to my two computers today, I realized that this new album is also "does not work".  After each update, something that has worked well in the past, does not work. Has anyone found a solution yet?

  How you try to burn the disks?

  You get an error message? So then what?
