Trancsend 160 GB HDD not detected

My Trancsend 160 GB hard drive is not detected by my PC or laptop.

Hello

  • A external drive long before work on the desktop?
  • You have to assign the drive letter every time that you connect the player to the computer?

Method 1:

Change, add, or remove a drive letter

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/change-add-or-remove-a-drive-letter

Method 2: If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you format the external hard drive and check if the problem persists.

Note: Make sure that you take a full backup of the external drive before formatting.

Create and format a hard disk partition

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/create-and-format-a-hard-disk-partition

 
 
I also suggest you to check if the device is detected in Device Manager.
If yes then check start and type diskmgmt.msc in the box search and see if it detects is there too.

  • Satellite C650: HDD not detected after factory reset Toshiba

    Hi guys n Gals.

    Any input on that would be great.
    Its a PSC08E Toshiba C650

    Recently, I restored my system to factory settings using the Toshiba recovery partition. Everything was fine that I had installed Windows.

    Was on the desk, he began to install all programs and Tosiba players when he first started to install face recognition. It froze for 5-10 minutes and closes.


    I restarted my computer, a message me saying no boot device. Restarted and went into the Bios.
    No HARD drive detected.
    It seems if i enter Bios then save and exit. (Which makes the computer restart) BIOS detected that's fine.

    First of all, I thought it was a bad installation and a format would work. So I did.
    This time with the win7 installation disc. Same thing got on the desk, except the toshiba didn't install the drivers themselves. I went on the toshiba site and installed the relevent drivers currently work fine I use it to type this message now.

    Whenever I turn on a stop I have to enter and exit the BIOS.
    I have upated the Bios, I did not have a recovery CD. (Is this different from download the drivers after a new installation?)
    I would like to buy one, but they were quite expensive, one I need is £30.

    Not quite sure how works this forum, if there is a reward system that I will not fail to keep,
    Desperately need some help here. This is driving me crazy

    Ok. The first thing we do is to get into the BIOS, set it to default settings and check its operation. I think the HARD drive should be recognized correctly and you should be able to start the laptop without entering the BIOS.

    Now after the installation of clean operating system you can not install the HARD drive recovery image. What you need now is the original recovery disk. I put t understand why you didn't create where everything was OK.
    Anyway, the new recovery disc can be ordered on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    If you want to keep your version of the OS install all the drivers missing, tools and utilities more. You can download them from the download page of Toshiba - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    If you need more assistance you are welcome.

  • DC7700 Converible minitour: HDD not detected, windows does not load

I replaced the cables, I ran the HP Vision Diagnostic test and saw that it shows errors in the extended SATA Firmware tests-, error code is 990518 and the failure code is 503. SATA seq check test displays error code 990161 and error code 502 parameters test not valid. SATA random performance test fails also to 1% as the other two and also 990161 and 502 times as codes respectively. Should I change the hard disk or there might be an error in the BIOS or the system itself? Thank you.

  • HDD not detected?

    1. WIndows 7 wasn't loading. After the Dell logo, it showed error (error PXE - E61: Media Test Failure).

    2. I tried to recover / format the windows. But then he showed driver load errors.

    3 then I went to the command prompt and run list disk. It is just to show my bootable USB key but not my internal hard drives. (display without media).

    Help, please.

    Hi Amit,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Try to set the following parameters in the BIOS and check that it works.

    Important: Change BIOS / 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.

    a. disable the Secure boot

    b. activate the legacy ROM load option

    c. under Startup, list options enable the legacy

    Also, try to connect the hard drive to the other port in the motherboard and check if that helps.

    Additional information:

    Start Mode UEFI or Legacy BIOS mode

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - HDD is not detected

    My Satellite L300 hanged while I used it. I tried to restart, it just wouldn't start. It shows this message on the screen "no bootable device-insert boot disk and press any key" tried, but it still does not work. Then I tried using the restore disc. It then displays a message on the scree that the hard drive is not mounted which means that it does not detect the presence of the HARD drive.

    What can I do?

    Hey,.

    This looks like the HARD drive is not recognized, so your computer isn't able to boot and disk HARD recovery doesn't work correctly

    I recommend you check the BIOS if the HARD drive is recognized correctly. Usually in the BIOS, you should see the correct HARD drive model number and it would mean recognized s. Otherwise, the HARD drive is faulty and must be replaced

  • Satellite M105-S322 - HDD does not detect

    My laptop does not detect the hard drive. I press F2 to go into BIOS and it says hardrive No. I reinstalled the hard drive, but it still says the same thing. I have test the SATA hard drive on the desktop and it detects its.

    What seems to be wrong? Help, please.

    > I have test the SATA hard drive on the desktop and it detects its.
    This looks like your HARD disk on the motherboard controller is faulty
    But before that you exchange the motherboard but I would test another HARD drive maybe the HARD drive is faulty and will recognize only on certain computers or mothers.

    If a new drive HARD doesn t work too, your motherboard needs to be replaced.

  • Wk2 will not detect the HDD on Portege 3480CT

    Hi all, been tring this for 2 days now and I have no idea. I want to install win2k on 3480CT but the win2k installation does not detect the hard drive... It will detect WinXP, win98 detects...

    I have the latest version of the bios, I start to think win2k is in need of a driver for the reader, but I'm not finding.

    Help...

    As mentioned for install the W2k you n t need additional drivers.
    I also recommend the HARD whole disk formatting and delete all partitions.

    In addition, you must use an original CD of Microsoft W2k. I read on the net that some people wanted to use the copy of the CD W2k, but this CD is not bootable.

  • Re: Hitachi Drive Fitness Test (DFT) does not detect the HDD on Satellite A660

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 PSAW3C-047017 with a HARD MK6465GSX Toshiba drive. After experience, some consecutive failures of start-up, I was told on the Toshiba forums to use Drive Fitness Test (DFT of Hitachi).

    I burned the ISO to a CD and booted from it (I must press F12 for boot options and select the optical drive), which is to run successfully. However, it does not detect my drive HARD - the list is empty.

    Is there something I need to do to make visit to DFT?

    I cannot commend this third part software features, but I want to know if you still have these failures to start your portable computer satellite?

  • Cannot install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HARD drive

    Hello

    My HARD drive died, so I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660 - 1 9 to an SSD.
    I made a USB bootable with Win8 and starts very well.

    The problem is that it does not detect my SSD, so I can proceed with the installation.
    SSD appears in BIOS but not in Windows Installer.
    He said that there is a missing driver.

    I downloaded the AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even in this case, after you have selected the only rider that appears, it says no new device found.

    I tried to change the SATA from AHCI mode to compatibility mode and it's the same thing...

    What can I do?

    Thanks for the help.
    Best regards
    Bruno Moreira

    More old Windows XP need a driver AHCI Intel's but I think this isn't a problem with SATA driver missing because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers to recognize the SSD or HARD disk drive.
    In addition, the installation of the OS should be possible even if the driver would be added for this procedure, you must use the "compatibility" mode
    As you say, the compatibility mode is not working too, so I think there is another problem.

    However, page driver Toshiba also provides a driver Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) (Windows 8 - updated) you can try to add during the installation of the OS.

    But I m wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
    Have you tried to format the SSD using a different computer, then install Win 8?
    Give it a try.
