• Windows Update does not work after the hard drive has been replaced

  Hello
  I have the same problem, replaced in my Toshiba HD, rebuild from Sysimage, Windows Update does not work. A ran "fix the problem with the Microsoft Windows Update is not working.
  Problem still exist.
  The message that I got while trying to update: "Windows Update cannot currently check updates,
  because the service is not running. "You may need to restart you computer.
  Stop and then restart the service, still no luck.

  I ran Windows troubleshooting. He finds two problems with Windows Update components, it corrects.
  The problem still exists.

  Another interesting fact:
  After the reconstruction the new disk, user account control does not recognize Windows programs.
  for example: execution of Perfmon.exe, the Publisher is unknown! However, when I download the program Windows FixIt, Publisher is recognized as Microsoft Windows. It seems that user account control does not recognize the Windows programs that had found the new HD, but acknowledges those who is downloaded from the internet.
  I guess there is a problem with the license, Windows was preinstalled on the Toshiba and replace the hard drive could have caused a few conflicts of licensing.

  The same problem. Cloned old HD on a larger hard drive. Everything worked perfectly except NO indexing and update WITHOUT windows - the two recurring problems that seem to appear on the forums after a change of hard disk.

  INDEXING resolved with change to "Intel rapid storage technology." Google what I put in quotes, choose the Download Center and get the specific to your OP and the controller software.

  UPDATES have been a little more frustrating. The microsoft .fixes and convenience stores were without help.

  Go to control panel / system and Maintenance / administration tools

  Select Services

  Stop the Background Intelligent Transfer Service

  Stop Windows Update

  In 'My Computer' go to Windows / Software Distribution

  Right-click "DataStore" folder. Rename it to Datastore.old

  Rename the folder 'Download' Download.old

  Return to Services and restart the Background Intelligent Transfer Service and Windows Update.

  Look for the updates. It will take some time because you deleted the database.

• Satellite P10 304 BIOS does not detect HARD and CDROM drive

  My HDD p10-304 has recently failed.
  I bought a new 60 GB western digital 2.5 drive "and installed today.

  At startup, the BIOS does not detect the drive, but also, it does not detect the CD-ROM drive.
  This makes me think that maybe it's not the player after all, maybe the onboard IDE / motherboard.

  I'm kinda stuck, so it's a new drive should work fine, and I have no way to test the motherboard.

  The only difference is that the insulation on the original drive sleeve should be reduced by half.
  The bit important (low, where the circuits would otherwise affect metal) is always there, it is the
  Few albums I had to remove but that should be no problem.

  Someone at - it suggestions?

  Thank you, Stu.

  Hello

  What happens if the HARD drive is not connected to the motherboard? The BIOS recognize the CD/DVD drive correctly?

  You bought the HARD drive compatible? To my knowledge the Mobile supports a HARD drive with interface IDE (ATA-5) increased.

  But as you said possibly the motherboard failures and he would be advised to contact the technician during a particular test

• Windows 7 does not detect multiple external hard drives

  I recently bought a HP Pavilion laptop to 7 Home Premium. I have two 500 GB external hard drives. When I connect them individually to the system, they are recognized and I can copy files to and from these External Drives. But when I try to connect both at the same time, Windows 7 does not detect the drive I connect then. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  If the disks are powered by the USB bus and do not have their own external power supply the problem is that the laptop does not provide sufficient USB power to control both.

  The USB specification, is that each port should provide 500mA at 5V. To keep their batteries, laptops usually provide 500mA to share between all available ports. If you need to use several USB devices with significant power, you must either externally powered USB hub or to provide the devices with their own power supply to cutting.

• Windows 7 does not see added internal hard drive

  I installed an internal hard drive 1 TB on a Windows 7 using SATA system.  Device Manager sees the drive, but Windows does not.  So I can't access the drive. How can I get Windows to use this hard disk (disk 1) to be the image of the disk system 0?

  Thank you

  Probably should have Setup no matter what RAID before installation.  Thinking that can be a destructive thing.  Not that I'm a great believer in RAID1 arrays (mirror) - I'm not.  I'd rather have real backups - external backups.

  Usually a RAID1 will help only if the first hard drive die an immediate death.  None of the defective areas, no viruses, no random deletion of files.  Why?  Because a HARDWARE RAID1 is an instant copy of everything that happens on the first hard drive.  If you clear hundreds of files - they are on both.  A virus corrupts the things - the other disc is in place.  Form data and scramble of bad sectors - well, look!

  I have a storage attached network device I backup on an eSATA hanging from it it stores up to another network and storage I do more selective backups to as a backup for my saved backups.  Internal - nothing.  Well, I guess that the restoration of the system and version control integrated with Windows 7...

• Windows 7 Windows update does not work after replacing hard drive

  Win7 Home Premium and HP Pavilion DV6-2150US.  Failed hard drive.  I bought a Seagate 500 GB replacement (original drive was 250 GB) and used my purchased HP re - install DVD to re - build Windows and reinstall the OEM software on the new hard drive.

  Everything starts fine, but he won't deal of Windows updates (. e. is a big red X on the screen of windows update).  I tried Microsoft "Mr Fix it" download - but it error and none of the other suggestions Microsoft not work either.  When I had the chance to talk with a MS tech support person, she suggested that somehow windows on the new drive is not authentic, etc...  Although windows on the new drive hard indicates that its active and authentic... is there some kind of checking a number of the hard disk 'really' activate windows?

  Just to make sure that my reinstall was not corrupt, I deleted the new hard drive and began in everywhere... I have the exact same result... it boots fine, but will not update through windows update.  The only other change to the laptop was that I had better buy double the memory to 8 of 4 when I bought 2 years ago... once again, do not know if there is a kind of material exchange limitation before disabling the windows software.

  Help, please!  I'm really stuck.  THX JimmyC

  Thanks for your post... I solved my problem by installing the update driver Intel rapid storage through this link:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02219204

  I suppose that as long as the hard drive is lower 250Gig you need not the new driver.  But when I replaced my hard drive failed with a disc 500gig hard - when I did restore HP to Win7 and the OEM software from the dvd, I bought - it put the storage driver original in Win7 - which works very well with a 250 GB drive, but causes the windows update doesn't work is not for readers more than 250gig.   When I installed the driver from the link above file, Windows Update started working - and you can imagine there are many, many fixes since my PC has been restored to original Win7 - doesn't not even Win 7 SP1.

  I hope it helps someone else... thank you for your message.  JimmyC

• Windows Update does not work after new hard drive

  After you install the new hard drive, when I click on windows update, it opens, makes his scan, then I get the message, (the website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page) I have a Dell Optiplex 745 running XP Pro, Explorer 8, have tried several times and restarted, please help.

  What do you think of will be without safety last cumulative update for IE8 be manually downloaded and installed before going to windows update to nothing at all.  What will happen is the CPU at 100% and a whole lot of nothing else of fortification.

  Do not go in line with the hopes of getting the updates of windows after the installation of SP3.

  Disable automatic updates in Control Panel > automatc updates > disable automatic updates

  Start > run > wuaucpl.cpl > disable automatic updates > apply (if the setting is changed) > OK

  Get the exe to install offline full download for IE8 [should represent approximately a 16 MB file] and then install IE8 after SP3 and the decline of the ability to download updates for IE8 at installation time.

  Then manually download and install the current cumulative security for IE8 update and restart the computer.

  visit Windows Update through your browser link in the start menu.  Consent to any ActiveX install queries and validation / advantage genuine offer and cross your fingers.

  It is possible that you may still have questions, but this will reduce some of the problems if you follow the recommended sequence.

• Windows 7 does not detect my external hard drive

  Window 7 is able to detect my external hard drive under devices and printers, it is able to detect the hard drive, and there is no problem for her.  but only shows no not my external hard drive under my computer icon so I can't drag files

  
  How can I find the hard drive and put the files?
  
  Thank you

  OK follow the instructions;

  • Click the windows icon
  • Right click on computer > then click on scabies
  • on the left, under storage, click Disk Management

  now the hard tip. You must identify which is your external hard drive. It should say something like disc 1 - online (if you have other removable things such as memory card readers may be something like disk5). DO NOT TOUCH DISK 0 (c) because it is your operating system and nothing change may / will kill the system.

  It doesn't have a letter from dirve allocated on the external drive then left and right click then click on change drive letter and paths.

  Assign a new letter perhaps something like L: as who should enter into conflict with what it is then ok the windows... it should now appear.

  Yet once just to reiterate do not assign c: or touch disk 0. you have been warned.

  Here is a link with pretty pictures to help you a bit

  The most difficult part is to find what is your hard drive. Good luck. If you're worried you can take a screenshot of the management of the computer and upload it to your skydrive. We would advise you that it is.

  Hope that helps...

  I've linked download these drivers and nothing works. Can someone help me please?

  I use fire wire that turns a USB port, if that tells you anything.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forums.

  Let me try and help you with the problem.

  3. What is the status of the camera in Device Manager when you connect?

  To open Device Manager, press the key Windows key + X and choose Device Manager.

  In Device Manager, check if the camera is recognized.

  If the camera is not recognized, you may need to check the issue by using a different firewire cable.
