Tecra S3: Installation of Vista does not recognize the HARD drive
I try to install Vista Ultimate on my Tecra S3, but installation does not recognize the HARD drive.
I tried to find the driver for Vista for my computer, but not found RAID.
Tried it with XP drivers, but no longer works.Do you have an idea where I can download Vista drivers for RAID?
THX
Hello
Your suggestion is good. The Tecra S3 supports the RAID, and the RAID driver is required to install the OS on the HARD drive.
On the European driver Toshiba page I found a RAID for XP driver.I put t know if this driver will run under Vista, but I recommend to test.
The RAID XP 1.3.8.0 driver version can be downloaded from this site:
http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EUPlease note; You can store the RAID driver on an external USB and Vista should recognize it!
Good luck

Aspire One d255 does not recognize the usb connected external ssd drive
I want to replace the original HDD 160 GB with a 120 GB Samsung ssd 750 evo but bios and win 10 does not recognize the ssd drive as an external drive connected via a usb connection, so I couldn't create an image of my internal hard drive. Is there a way to clone my hard drive SSD, so I can exchange the disc later? I need to update the bios, install a missing driver, etc. ?
I used two different connections: one is a 2.5 "SATA case disc that I used with a disk 2.5" HARD and works very well with the HARD drive and the other is SATA/IDE connector combination with cables for SATA and power and none of these works. I read in another forum during my research that the Aspire One d255 doesn't recognize any external SSD connected through a USB either. Since my netbook has no data, and I had just a pure 10 Windows installed on his drive HARD internal, I removed the 160 GB HARD drive and replaced by a 120 GB SSD and installed another Windows own 10. It worked and my system boots now in less than 20 seconds. We can close this thread now since I now have a faster machine fully function. Thank you!

Satellite Pro 6100 does not recognize the single battery external power
Whenever I have start Satellite Pro 6100 Win XP Pro with standard battery mounted and connected to the power supply computer laptop does not recognize the ext battery supply single supply and during 'start-up' goes into hibernation.
By pressing the power on button laptops "wake up" and indicate that the battery is empty or may not even decide when completely loaded, then says connect the station even if still connected, looking under Toshiba console when it runs shows running on battery when still in the power of the ext?
I have two batteries and both give the above symptoms even when I remove ext of laptop power always runs with power supply by battery but no light orange or green for battery.
Any ideas?
Concerning
PhilHello
Is your AC adapter malfunctions or there is something wrong with the power supply to electronic s laptop.
In the first case you could purchase a new compatible AC adapter and could check if the laptop can run successfully.
The second possibility is a serious hardware problem, but in this case, the laptop must be checked by an authorized technician. -

UPDATE (04/03/2010):
I have more information, I hope this helps to reach a solution.-J' repeated the steps above 1 to 3, with open Device Manager. In step 3, in the Device Manager window, the icon for the question USB mass storage device becomes the exclamation point in yellow triangle icon. Check its properties on the tab "General", in the "Device status" box, it says: "Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been established for"safe removal", but it has not been removed from the computer. (Code 47) IX this problem, disconnect the device from your computer and then reconnect it. Click on 'Search for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available. »
-J' then removed the card and rest of the error state.
-J' I re inserted the card, and rest of the error state.
-J' I then tried to update the driver by accessing the tab "driver", click on "Update driver", click on "Automatically search for an updated driver", and the result was "the best driver for your device is already installed."I found the solution on this hp web page:

Instead, just right-click on the drive in the Solution Explorer, then choose "Eject". Works perfectly.
Some excerpts...
"Memory card readers are devices that use the icon remove the device safely in the notification area in the taskbar). Do not click stop in the window, remove the device safely. Doing so can disconnect the card memory reader for Windows. In this case, restart the computer to reset the memory card reader. »

Vista does not accept Windows 2003 documents and spreadsheets - is there a solution?
Hi wavedave,.
By 2003 documents and spreadsheets are you referring to Microsoft Office 2003? Vista is not a copy of Microsoft Office as part of the operating system; You can buy a copy of Microsoft Office. However, if it is simply a case of you is not not able to read (to create, you will need a copy of Microsoft Office) there is still rlevant application "Viewer Office." You need a viewer for each application, but, basically, it allows you to 'see' the documents word, excel etc. documents without having a copy of Microsoft Office on your system. As I said, you can "show" them if you need to change or create excel spreadsheets or word documents, you must purchase a copy of office.
See this link for more information on the viewers of rleevant: http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/downloads/office-online-file-converters-and-viewers-HA001044981.aspx

Satellite L - Vista does not recognize the HARD drive
OK, I have spent the last 5 days or more trying and do not install vista on the laptop miserable with no chance and ive finally succumb to ask for help here.
Does anyone know what driver I need to use to allow Vista to recognize the SATA drive? I got some drivers download Toshiba chipsets article section and put it on a USB key, but they do not work. I get the message "Windows cannot locate the disk media to install windows" or a similar message. If I load all the drivers, then its just total failure - Windows installation procedure says that it cannot find the target medium or such a message. He develops files, loads the files and then stops and gives this message. There are all sorts of other stupid messages that would normally make me want to take the / offending laptop and throw it out the window. Needless to say, has not yet happened.
Also does computer some odd scratching / clicking noises during installation - it seems to come under the laptop - looks like it's either a problem with the hard drive or DVD drive, or both. I get up then a blue "Material error" message screen of death
I know it's not nice to go and my error messages are a bit vague (I must have spent countless hours installation and got so many error messages to send me brain dead mode) but thought id just ask to get some ideas - thank you.
> "Windows cannot locate the disk media to install windows" or a similar message.
You can install windows without use drivers SATA.
Access the BIOS and set the SATA from AHCI compatible mode mode.
This should allow to install the OSSee you soon

HP 1012 printer won't ADD. Windows Vista does not recognize the printer or port.
Windows does not add 1012 HP printer.
Although compatible with Vista: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=LaserJet%201012%2015ppm%20600x600dpi%208MB%20USB&v=HP&uid=Q2461AABA&pf=0&pi=0&s=HP%20Printer%201012&os=32-bit, a free download is required (whatever that means - read the above yourself). This is perhaps why you cannot install. While on the HP site, get the most up-to-date drivers, firmware or software for this printer and use it for installation (which came on the drive or what you perhaps obsolete).
I hope this helps.

Windows 7 does not recognize the new WD external hard drive added to the usb port
Recently, I tried to add my third USB WD hard drive to my computer. It's a My Book Essential. The meter turns and the virtual cd drive is listed in WD, but the hard drive itself does not appear on the list of devices with a drive letter. My my first two books are readers: J:, and L: I have no "new device found" message I search for new devices and it the PC do not find anything. If I click on the virtual CD drive (M :) it askes if I want the computer to allow WD to make changes...) I say Yes and the screen flashes and nothing happens.
The drive be defective? Any other ideas?Hello
Have you tried to connect the external hard drive on another USB port?
Try to connect the WD external hard drive on another computer.
Follow these steps:
Method 1: You can run the troubleshooter in the following article and see if this fits the Bill.
Open the hardware and devices Troubleshooter
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-hardware-and-devices-Troubleshooter
Also, run the Fixit.
Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windowshttp://support.Microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/en-us
Method 2: Check if the external hard drive is recognized in disk management and assign a drive letter to the same.
To open disk management, follow these steps:
a. click Start, type disk management in the start search box and press enter.
(b) if the drive is detected in disk management, I suggest you to assign a drive letter and see if that does the trick.
For instructions, see this article change, add, or remove a drive letter

Vista does not recognize the printer network driver.
Recently, I built a new desktop computer and install Vista Home Premium (64) bits. I have a HP Deskject 5650 connected to another computer on desktop running Windows XP. When I try to add the shared printer on the 64 bit Vista computer it will not find the drive.
I was able to share this printer on 3 laptops 2 running HP Vista (32 bit), one XP and shared with friends running a variety of OS including Ubuntu and OS10.
I managed to install the printer directly on the new office. It works very well with a direct connection.
I have found the correct driver in the prnhp001.inf of the Windows/inf directory, it contains this listed
"hp deskjet 5600 series (HPA).I have attached the printer either by browsing or via its TCP/IP address. Windows says that the xp machine doesn't have the right driver. It askes for the directory with the correct driver. I have it to point to the directory, but he comes back and says window cannot find an appropriate driver. Contact your administrator for help to find and install an appropriate driver.
Is there a way to force Vista to load the correct driver, as he did for the version 32 bit on my laptop?
Any other suggestions would be helpful. I would like to use Office XP as a print server for the entire network, but this problem is to thwart this attempt.Hi bobxnc,
Please use the forum for Support of Vista,
You will have to visit the HP website and download and then manually install the driver for Vista 64-bit on the Vista machine. After installing the driver, it should connect and locate the driver on your computer to the printer. Driver for 64-bit system are usually different 32-bit system, this could be the cause of the problem.
