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!

  • Suffered the laptop using the recovery, but now only see 1 hard disk, not 2 disc

    Hello

    I used the system recovery disk to erase all the data on my laptop and re - install Windows Vista a-fresh. I used to have two hard drives (C and E), but now when I restored it I have only one.

    Should I just stick with it like that, or I can re - create the division?

    Thank you

    Hello

    What model of laptop do you have?
    With 2 hard drives do you mean 2 hard drives or 2 partitions on a HARD drive?

    The point is that recovery disk formats the HARD drive and erase the partitions created on the HARD drive, so if you had a partition, then a recovery disk can delete it from the HARD drive.

  • Just reinstalled Windows 8, which wiped the drive hard, but now it says my hard drive is using more than half of its capacity, although it should be nearly empty.

    The title says it all.

    I reinstalled windows 8 which apparently erased from my hard drive. After starting my computer upward even once, I noticed that I had free 826GBs of 1.81 on my hard drive (Local disk (c)), even if it should be almost empty. When I pointed out all the contents of my hard drive and go to properties of what he says his only help 114GBs of space, unlike what 'My Computer' told me.

    I noticed that a folder in the drive Local (c) entitled "Windows.old" which has my old program files that would make account 96GBs of used space. I tried to remove that but he told me that I needed permission from the "SYSTEM".

    I need help with this problem, I still have to put my old files on my computer, which I'm sure that will exceed the alleged free space I have. If anyone can help me, I'd appreciate a step by step explanation. I can handle a correct amount of talk about the computer, but a lot of it goes over my head.

    Thanks :)

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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!

  • External hard drive not recognized, but...

    I can't find a similar problem anywhere online.

    Drive external DRIVE is Toshiba Stor.E partner (green), 1 TB.

    About 2 years ago.

    One day last week, I realized, it was not mounted in the usual place (on my Time Capsule), so I connected it to my Mac Mini, but no difference.

    Screenshots show Mac specs, more the HARD drive in the disk and repair utility failed drive.

    It is partitioned into two 500 GB, but I can't really remember why I did it.

    For more than a year it is connected to the back of my time Capsule, so it is not included in the automatic backups. From time to time I move to my Mac Mini for a day or two and include it in the back up - but now that I enter Time Machine can't find a backup of it so I was probably passing on this topic in the wrong way? Also had a problem during the summer, this year, where my TC got indigestion and decided to throw all that, which means that I had to start from scratch, backups but it was not biggy time.

    I bought a new cable (best reviews on Amazon), in which case it was a problem, but no difference. Have not yet tried a Y-cable but will if someone recommends.

    I'm sure that people will need more information, ask so far.

    Also displayed in the Mac Mini to the Web site, but this has farrrr less followers then thought that it would be wise by the bash too.

    Thanks in advance

    Seems to me that the drive has failed. It happens.

  • The upgrade of Inspiron 9300 Hard Drive not recognized

    I bought an upgrade of my Inspiron 9300 laptop hard drive:

    Old hard drive: TG754 Hard Drive, 60G, 9.5 MM, 7.2 K Hitachi, Moraga, unleaded

    New hard drive: 250 GB SATA 3 Gb s hard drive 16 MB 7200 RPM 2.5 IN. w o free fall Scorpio black

    TG754 Hard drive, 60G, 9.5 MM, Hitachi 7.2 K, Moraga, unleaded

    I don't know I installed it correct (just slide in and screw it) but my problem is that my laptop does not recognize the new drive.  When starting it complains that no hard drive is, and when I boot my Windows XP it also said that no hard drive is located.

    I followed the upgrade recommended Dell so I do not know why it does not work.  I read that the SATA drives require additional drivers, but I'm sure that my old drive was already a SATA drive, so I don't understand why he is not recognized.

    Help, please.  Thank you.

    The 9300 has been performed in two versions - the vast majority were EIDE.  The last execution of production used SATA.  Yours is EIDE.

    Readers are physically the same size and made the same carrier - but does not connect the SATA version to the motherboard (check the back both discs and you'll see why).

    The EIDE version has a limit of 120G BIOS - it means not that you can not use this drive of 160 G, but the results can be unpredictable, sudden loss of all data.  Keep backups if you try a 160 - it is much safer to use a 120G.

    No, a 5400 all else equal will be slower than a 7200 - but you don't have a choice, because all manufacturers have stopped making 7200 RPM EIDE (PATA) computer laptop some time ago.

  • 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.

  • V2V conversion but attempt hard drives not recognized

    Hi all

    I'm V2V a Windows 2008 R2 server using the latest conversion tool provided by Vmware. But what happens when the wizard gets to the last part where you change prefs available to drive there not hard to select drives. Then of course with no hard disks the conversion does not start. I disable disk one / software v before turning off all services. I also confirmed there is no utility disk installed that could interfere. Any ideas on how I can go beyond the obstacles are greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    vmguy

    As the source system that you choose? When you perform a V2V with engine turned off the virtual machine, you must select 'Vmware infrastructure virtual machine', connect to hosts and select the virtual machine on that host.

    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...
