• Computer does not recognize Toshiba external 500G HDD - HARD drive

  Sorry, I use a translator, because all the illiterate

  A year and a half used the hard drive, and now the computer does not recognize it, the TV too.
  In Device Manager, it is there, but says "initialization error".

  What should do?
  Thanks for the replies

  You have partitions software installed on the laptop you?
  I guess that the HARD disk does not appear in windows Explorer, but common partition as the partition Wizard tool might be able to recognize the HARD drive.
  You can try to format the HARD disk and to create the new NTFS partition.

  Another solution:
  Usually, you can initialize the disk by DiskManagement.

  In disk management, right-click the disk you want to initialize and then click on initialize disk.
  In the dialog box initialize the disk, select the disk to initialize.
  You can choose to use the master boot record (MBR) or the style of partition GUID partition table (GPT).

  Once a disk is initialized, you can create partitions on it.
  After you create a partition, you can format the partition to create a filesystem (NTFS).

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

• Windows Vista does not recognize external USB 260 GB HARD drive

  I have a 260 GB Seagate external hard drive, a laptop Toshiba satellite and Windows Vista Basic.

  The same Windows usually choose the hard drive when I plug it, it does not appear in Device Manager and in disk management, the only way I can get it to work is to uninstall all the USB root hub and then restart the computer, and then reinstall the USB root hub and plug my hard drive.

  When windows finally recognizes him, the only way to find the driver must choose c:\ manually and there's the search for the computer.
  Works for the time that I have the computer hard disk, but when I stopped it, next time I use the computer, I'm having exactly the same problem.

  I tried to remove the hard drive safely and then close the computer and by him plugging back in after windows has loaded, I tired it connected from the computer and tried to close the computer with connected.

  None of these work.
  Can someone help me please?

  Strange?  :|
  But what need s say Microsoft Windows so I don't expect 100% without bug OS ;)

  Disconnect the USB HDD and remove all the USB ports and Device Manager USB controllers. After restarting again the OS should reinstall ports. Then you could try to reconnect the HARD drive.

• 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.

• 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.

• Vista Home Premium does not recognize a new 500 GB HARD drive.

  I installed a WD 500 GB drive in my Emachines computer.   He appears in "Device Manager" who says it works correctly, but the OS not the poster not in 'My Computer'.  Is there a limit on the size of the disk in Vista?

  Have you partitioned/formatted it?

  If not, right click on computer > manage > storage > disk management.

  Now right click on the graph for the reader, and select new simple volume. Allocate the amount of space you want to use it, i.e. all or certain of them so that you can have more than one partition on the disk. Now do a right click and format it. Repeat the new simple volume if you decided to make several partitions.

• Satellite A100 PSAA5A Windows does not recognize ethernet controller

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with a PSAA5A-01H00T A100 running Win XP sp2.
  Windows does not recognize an ethernet controller, so the wireless NETWORK card does not work, even if the wired connection is.
  I tried to install the latest WLAN drivers on the support site (two of them), does not. Windows insists that the correct drivers are not installed.

  I suspect a hardware problem and I have the user on an external wireless NETWORK card, but I would appreciate any idea that you guys can provide.

  Thank you.

  Hi mate

  What Ethernet controller is not recognized? WLan or LAN?
  You have a few unknown devices in Device Manager?
  If so, then a critical driver is missing, and so the controller is not recognized correctly.

  You n t know what LAN or Wlan chip you have and what driver is needed?
  Check this box:
