To install the new eSATA / SATA to USB 2.0 hard drive in an external enclosure but the computer does not recognize the drive in disk management
I have an old computer with installed Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and 3. I bought a new hard drive and also a new external hard drive for her case. I have correctly installed the hard drive inside the enclosure, and I think that I have installed correctly (in the motherboard SATA port) eSATA port, according to the manufacturer's instructions. I plugged everything... first eSATA, then power and power switch. I restarted the computer, and I chose to analyze disks in disk management. However, the new drive is not recognized. The SATA port on the motherboard could not work or did I buy the bad, perhaps, hard drive enclosure for my system? Or something related to the software? Thank you.
Hi Donnadream,
Connect the hard drive to another port and check if that makes a difference
Step 1: You can follow the steps mentioned in the article below, which deals with a similar question

Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
How to back up and restore the registry in Windows
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/322756/
Step 2: Download and install the latest drivers from the chipset of the computer or the manufacturer of the motherboard and check
Step 3: Hard disk can be turned off in the BIOS; You may want to enable
Important: Change BIOS (Basic input output system) /semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
If the problem persists, it is a hardware problem, contact the manufacturer of the hard drive for a more specialized help
Thanks and greetings

Computer does not recognize the CD/DVD drive
For these last days, my computer does not recognize the CD/DVD drive. I have tried everything - publishers of registry, check the physical connections inside the computer, the system restore and install Fix - It programs. However, the computer does not recognize this drive. I also wonder if it is a hardware problem. The light on the drive is a constant in green, and does not have the Open button. And when I use the bent-paper-clip-in-the-little-hole and can open the drive, it will not read the disc. Please advise...
I fixed my problem with the BIOS operating system & not recognizing not not my DVD player to reinvest the solder on the motherboard. You can find instructions on how to do it here: http://www.computerrepairtips.net/how-to-reflow-a-laptop-motherboard/
There was a little crazy with my video drivers when I started first, but everything works after resetting the BIOS by default.
