• HP Pavilion p6280t PC: Western Digital hard drive Compatible for HP Pavilion p6280t desktop PC

  I need to replace the internal hard disk for this old model of PC.  It came with a hard drive from 750 GB 7200 RPM SATA 3 Gb/s (Seagate).  What drive Western Digital hard (750 GB or 1 TB) is compatible with this computer?

  The limitation of SATA is more like a heading of speed that allows the bus. (6 Gb/s) SATAIII allows real world speeds of up to 600 MB/s while SATAII (3 Gbps) allows speeds of up to Bot 300 Mbps connections. allowing speeds of over the current maximum capacity of any mechanical hard drive. Best performing discs can go up to 200 MB/s, so it wouldn't really matter if you use SATAII or SATAIII. You should be fine using either for the WD Black and you shouldn't see any difference in transfer speeds.

• Western Digital hard drive

  I have a Western Digital hard drive. 500 GB capacity. The other day I went to plug it in, and my computer said I had to format the drive in order to to use. I would like to know if there is a way to get access to the content on my drive without formatting, and therefore lose all my data. Maybe there is some software that I can get to fix this problem.

• Vista x 64 does not recognize my external Western Digital hard drive

  I connected an external hard drive Western Digital, and I do not see that it is recognized in all USB ports.  I checked Device Manager and nothing shows here either.

  Western Digital website says this is a result of a damaged or outdated driver, but I could not find the driver.

  How to find the right driver to properly discover the hard drive.

  An old XP machine should recognize the drive, it doesn't require specific drivers. Be sure that you're using a good cable. Early symptom of a defective cable include inrmitent detenction of the reader. Or the hard drive is faulty, try to open the case and look for loose connections.

• Western digital external drive not recognized in windows 7

  Hello

  I bought a new external hard drive (elements Western digital 1 TB) and my laptop is also new (windows 7).

  When I connect my external hard drive, its getting detected in the bottom right of the machine by displaying a small icon. considering that, the external hard drive is not displayed in my computer.

  In disk management, his appears as Disk1, on right click on it, getting only "convert the dynamic disk' and 'Properties' are enabled.

  In disk management, in the list of volumes, 5 empty volumes are also there. Right click on these only "Delete Volume" is enabled. "Change drive letter and paths" is disabled.

  Please help me solve this problem.

  Thank you.

  Yo!

  A bit of a ball in the twilight. I'm wondering is someone else had this unit, tried to change the way it has been implemented and "messed up." I would take this one back and get another - especially if you got it in one of the "big box" stores If you're inclined to try to fix it, be aware that this may affect your ability ot return it for Exchange or credit. Depends the seller policies.

  Right mouse click have the drive in the list to see the options. If they are correctly set, it may be possible to simply assign a drive letter to each volume of 'empty' If this configuration is OK with you.

  Otherwise, the fix would involve will use the facilities of disc to remove the present volumes, and then creating one or more. Make sure that you choose to format the logical disks as and assign it a drive letter. See the Windows Help system.

  Let us know.

• My imac does not recognize my new western digital hard drive internal that I just installed.

  I created a bootable usb key with yosemite on this and I am trying to format the new HDD, but all options are grey and doesn't let me do anything. It is also said he has 0 KB and the hard drive is 2 TB. Ran a few commands on the terminal, I found online, and it said me that I have a usb key where I yosemite. Any ideas?

  Using disk utility you need to divide the hard drive by using the GUID partition scheme, and then Mac OS Extended journaled. If the disc is not recognized at all, you've probably done something wrong, have a bad SATA cable or a new defective hard disk.

• Satellite A100-906 and Western Digital 250 GB

  Dear all,

  First of all, I want to offer my congratulations on your forum certainly useful. In regards to my laptop, I have a Toshiba A100-906. I've updated his memory to 3 GB and now I would like to upgrade its HDD as well. I think to buy a * Western Digital hard which has capacity of 250 GB *. I wonder, what is the maximum size of hard drive for this laptop and if it takes in charge the HDD that mentioned above.

  Thanks in advance
  STL of Greece

  Hello

  Well it's not easy to tell if a 250 GB HARD drive would be recognized by the BIOS as Toshiba doesn't provide any details on the maximum size of disk HARD possible.

  Is that a BIOS doesn t supports all sizes of HARD drive due to some limitations.

  But in my opinion it is not possible to use the 250 GB HARD drive. I think that it s all just too big.
  However, this is only my suggestion and maybe you should review it to make sure if it of possible or not.

  Best regards and have a nice day buddy

• Western Digital 1 TB My Book external hard drive on Vista 64 - Bit needs driver. Windows can't find it!

  Here's the deal. I bought a Western Digital 1 TB my book about 2 months ago. I plugged on my DELL XPS laptop running Vista 32 bit with no problems and managed to save all my files. Everything worked very well. Although this computer is damaged and sent to DELL for repair. Make the long story short, a replacement computer was sent to me. Now, I have a DELL studio XPS under Vista 64 bit and now the external hard drive is not recognized.

  I understand that Vista supposedly recognizes external drives and download the drivers when connected to the computer. Windows tries to find the driver but is unable to find and does not install. In Device Manager, the drive will appear as unknown device under other devices.

  I searched for an answer to my problem and posted on yahoo as well, but nothing useful that worked were found at the moment. When I do an automatic search for the driver, windows cannot find the software and refers me to the manufacturer of the device. Western Digital returns me to Microsoft.

  I tried all references to Western Digital troubleshooting, and as I said, this device works perfectly on the 32-bit system. I know that this has been a problem for many and would like to know if there is something I can do to get this device working once more. I don't want to reformat the drive, but if I do how can I if the Vista operating system can not find a driver?

  Thank you. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  I searched for the 64-bit operating system compatibility page and indicates the compatible reader.
  
  This is the exact drive I own: My Book Essential Edition 2.0 WDH1U10000 - disk hard - 1 TB - Hi-Speed USB

  The issue is clearly with WD, the 64-bit driver that they provide or the firmware for their unit

• Western Digital drive hard problem

  I have a western digital HDD (WD1200U017-000 model number) that is not recognized by Windows Vista. It was recognized and work earlier, but is no longer working. I tried to re-boot and unplug several times. I know that the camera itself is functional because it works on other machines running windows XP. I just bought this new computer with Windows Vsta last week, I checked for updates and installed all of them.   The hard drive does not load all or appear in Device Manager. The site digital Western said that Vista should provide a driver automatically.

  I had the same problem with the same 2.5 "laptop (DND: wd1200u017-000) device. I'm using win7 x 64 op system. I've tried all what WD site suggested, but nothing has worked. I tried win automatic troubleshooting, too, but it has not worked.  Computer restart, disconnected-plugging device, driver update internet or win dirivers haven't worked.

  After that, I found a solution, which worked in my case.

  I went to the Device Manager and looked for hard drive devices. I found one called unknown device or anything else. I chose option to remove, unplugged the unit, then plugged in again, and it started working. If you do not in the Device Manager list, perhaps it does not work on your computer. (I use no adapter cable. single USB cable).
