• Windows 8 can't find my SATA drive (2). It does not appear in disk management, but it appear when I open the tab of properties on any drive and click displays all disks. What should do?

  I bought a new computer (custom build) and Frys Electronics put it together for me.  Disk 0 is a 128 GB SSD, 1 disk is a SATA 2 TB drive, and disc 2 is a 1 TB SATA drive. Readers of 0 and 1 have been configured correctly when I installed Windows 8 but Drive 1 was not found\initialized. Player 2 does not appear in the disk management window, but when I click on properties on any drive, and then on the "hardware" tab, the drive appears.  If I can get windows to find it, I can go configure manually.  DiskPart cannot find disc 2 in the 'LIST' command and when I get in car 2 on other commands that require a number of disc, nothing happens.

  What should I do?

  Thank you.

  I ran an old Western Digital (the two SATA drives are WD) diagnosis and there are 1 OK to drive.  I tested it and it doesn't have a writing that test a few zeros.  I thought that it was a bad drive and I must return to the seller.  The next morning I tried the WD diagnosis again and this time he passed.  The app then allowed me to format it and it assign a drive letter.

  It seems to be OK now, but I'm not load all the files on it again.

  Thank you all for your support.

• RDM wil not appear in disk management (Windows)

  Hi all -

  I was wondering if anyone has seen anything it is flaky like this before with fixing a RDM on a Windows virtual machine. Appreciate your thoughts.

  Trying to fix a lun of 500 GB on a Windows virtual machine in physical mode, but it will not be displayed. I tried different a few times, and I saw him appear momentarily once in disk mgmt before disappearing for ever to be reviewed.

  My environment:

  vCenter and each host is ESXi 5.1.

  VM was a p2v there are many moons, a virtual fashion existing THAT RDM attached

  VM is 2003 Enterprise Server SP2

  What I tried:

  RDM created and attached to EMC VNX. Everything works as expected until I try new analysis/view in os, never appears

  RDM created and attached to second EMC VNX as a test, same result.

  Attached successfully original lun to a different server, to refine the original vm question

  Refreshing storage of the host where vm resides, several times throughout the process

  Rescan disk management, via the interface chart and diskpart

  Tried to add RDM device nodes for virtual scsi

  Storage of refreshment thanks to manage paths

  Event Viewer Checked to find the error that "all paths to xxxxxxxxxx died", but this is not normal (to manage paths all are active, and the other one is on the same storage array)

  Server restarts

  No idea what I can try?

  I think I've figured this out. I just tried to add the new lun in virtual mode, as the other attached RDM, and it finally worked. Maybe you can have different LUN attached in different modes on the same server. I log all my RDM in physical mode because I don't want their broken, but a vm, I inherited was attached in virtual mode, so I was hoping to begin to solve this with a new physical RDM mode to transfer data to it. Don't think.

• HP Pavilion t770.uk: SECOND HARD drive IS NOT SHOWING in DISK MANAGEMENT

  I fitted a new HDD in my desktop Pavilion PC second, and the device appears in the DEVICE MANAGER and the BIOS. However, the second HDD does not appear in DISK MANAGEMENT and so I can't initialize it or return a drive letter. The power and serial data cables are OK. I also tried a SMART scan to check the problem. A little SMART hard drive test should take about one minute, but after 10 minutes, it's still a test on the HARD drive. The drive is defective?

  It seems that the resolution has been set to a low value until the operating system executes the features of the screen and the graphics card.  The boxes on the anouncement screens are larger on low reslution settings.   Windows XP is not as alert as the Windows 7 operating system, but he eventually came around.

  I'm happy that everything is good now.

• Windows 7 does not recognize my external hard drive and it does not appear in Device Manager but not in disk management

  I'm trying to connect to my external hard drive, but the auto test failed
  and I know that the problem is not the cable or anything like this cause it works on other 2 computers
  It won't work on my laptop
  I tried many solutions but most of them that the hard disk appears in disk management

  and they change its trajectory

  but in my case that's not she appears only in management device that I tried to uninstall it but also did not work
  After that I did any suggestions? !

  Go to your computer manufacturer's support web site and search for the latest Windows 7 drivers for your specific model number.

  Download the drivers to a folder on your hard drive and install all of them, from the card mother/chipset drivers, LAN, Audio, USB, Graphics, SATA, Webcam, Etc., and so on.

• "Computer does not allocate a drive designation letter and is not displayed when windows Explorer opens to USB external drive.

  Original title: problem connecting to USB external drive

  I tried to install a 30 GB drive to Fireball over using a disk enclosure external hard Octigen SATA-USB 2.0 on an Acer Aspire T671 under Vista Premium computer. The system recorded new material, installs drivers and registers an entry on the massive safe removal as a "USB storage device" icon However, the computer does not allocate a drive designation letter and does not show the opening of windows Explorer.

  The hard disk is configured as a master, as described in the user manual.

  Thank you for the help

  Hi FAH300,

  If you are not able to format the drive, there may be a hardware problem.

  I suggest formatting the disk using the instructions linked by wb2001.

• Webcam does not appear in Device Manager

  I have a model of portable pavilion G62-233NR windows 7 64-bit, with a built-in webcam.  YouC'm software was bundled with it and worked.  Now the webcam is not found by one of the video programs AE Skype, Youcam... etc...

  I also noticed that the webcam does not appear in Device Manager. I tell me that I have to reinstall a driver for it but do not know what driver to install. HP has the following availble drivers for my model but which?  If one of the pilots was labeled "webcam", the task would be easy. I hope because the driver is missing in Device Manager that has installed a driver will set missing cam... I'm worried because I don't see a driver named "webcam" in the list... but what else could the problem, how can I get the driver installed, if that's the problem.

• My HP DVD/ROM does not appear in the device under my computer Manager or when I scan for readers.

  My HP DVD/ROM does not appear in the device under my computer Manager or when I scan for readers, most of the time.  Every now and then it will be visible and I can use it but 90% of the time it does not exist.  I tried the regedit fix, nothing.  I tried the program Microsoft Fix It, it tells me it cannot locate a DVD/ROM.  I removed, cleaned and reinserted my DVD/ROM drive, but no difference.  I tried everything, except the upgrade to Windows 7... who will be my last resort.

  Hello gargoyle28m,

  If your hardware is not detected to upgrade to Windows 7 is not a resolution. This issue may be caused if the DVD drive is faulty or connections loose on the mother board. You may need to check the connections. I suggest you check if the DVD drive works on another computer. You can contact the manufacturer of your computer to help you with this problem.

  Thank you

• CD/DVD-ROM problems, drive not detected AND the category of CD/DVD-ROM does not appear in Device Manager

  I'm having serious problems here. My CD/DVD-ROM drive is not detected and will not answer. I can ONLY open the drawer at the beginning of my computer laptop startup. The drive does not appear in my computer and the category of CD/DVD-ROM does not appear in Device Manager. Therefore, the "uninstall/reinstall" is impossible if the computer behaves as it has never been this drive now or never. Previously, I was able to use it as there was no problem, but someday, it's simply not there.

  -The 'legacy' drivers are not technically a restore because there was
  never a movement forward to Win7.
  They are only a newer version and probably the last, the pilot who was provided for
  Some older cards on older (legacy) systems.

• Samsung SH - 222AB DVD Burner is winning 8 compatible but does not appear in Device Manager

• My SATA to USB bridge is not recognized in disk management

  I bought a few SATA USB adapter, connected to my WD hard drive and my USB port, the computer recognizes, to install software for it and that's all.
  I can't read the disc via Explorer because it is not recognized, only in the Device Manager it seems nowhere to be found, saying SPIF30x USB2SATA bridge device USB. I've searched for so many solutions and everything I find people you said to go to disk management and assign it a letter. Problem is, it does not appear. Everything I see here, is my main hard drive, divided into 4 parts, which should be normal, but in the port USB (F:\), where I plugged the adapter, it shows nothing. The adapter itself has 2 LEDs indicating power and access, with only the power light that shines. The light also keeps shining when I plug the hard disk, so my guess is the adapter is recognized, but the disk is not. The drive should work, I've so far always used internally (SATA cable from the motherboard, you know).
  Please help me with this.

  If its not seen in disk management and then the drive has failed or connection method, the usb/sata converter does not work
