• Satellite U840-10N - Windows Installation can not see any drive

  Hi all, this is my first post so I hope that I chose the right place to post in.

  I just bought a new Toshiba Satellite u840-10n ultrabook. He joined WIndows 7 Home Premium 320 GB HHD + SSD of 32 GB.

  Even though I prefer Linux, I need Windows because of Microsoft Visual Studio. I downloaded Visual Studio (legally throught dreamspark.com), but it looks like it has some issues. In particular, I can't create any project.

  After searching the Web for this problem, I decided to try reinstalling Windows, hoping that this will solve the problem, and here's the point.

  Installation process of Windows 7 can not find any drive. I looked through the web a lot to solve this problem, even, without understanding.

  I read a lot of other people had the same problem. I tried different ways and I'm about to throw the laptop out the window.

  Is there anyone can help me?

  See you soon,.

  You need to load the SATA driver before you start the installation of the OS. Try it please use the files from http://www.fileswap.com/dl/igfH0jVrap/

  I used it on my Win8 preinstalled satellite to install Win7 64 bit. Copy it to USB and install from there.
  Please post comments.

• Windows 7 and bios sees not the hard drive, but when I connect the hard drive to the USB with an adapter, I see directories and files

  Please, I need pc

  Original title: windows 7 and bios does not see the hard drive. but when I connect the hard drive to the USB with an adapter, I see directories and files... Ive a hp Pavilion, what to do?

  Check the BIOS for hard drive setting.

  Make sure that you do not connect the drive to a SATA/RAID port.

  Old IDE drives - check the jumper on the drive (use "Cable Select" as a starting point), the BIOS must also be set in legacy/compatibility/IDE mode. Note: If you currently use the AHCI mode, then switch to IDE mode may cause Windows to boot.

  What I have:

  • Original disc Windows 7 Pro from Microsoft as to
  • Downloaded ISO exact copy of Microsoft as well if need be
  • DVD player Samsung external optics
  • USB drive (s)

  What I don't have:

  • Optical drive internal and original; the Bay is empty.
  • Patience to use VM and WinClone and all that BS.

  Sorry for the harsh tone, but I'm losing my mind edition .plists and restart a hundred times a day. erasure of the USB drives when all this used to work years ago.

  I was sure it was possible to install Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro 2011 delay, an external optical drive. I not even asking to use a USB key.

  Why do I have all official records of Microsoft and a USB/DVD drive, but am forced to use an other intern, that is broken for like 90 percent of Mac owners.

  I see a black screen with a cursor on startup or a black screen saying no boot device... After using Boot Camp Assistant. I tried to not use the wizard and make a Fat32 partition on my USB on and implemented to date, but this method failed as well for some reason any illogical.

  Please help me or at least explain certain restrictions that I can never get about in what concerns my machine and Boot Camp.

  Thank you!

  Can you extract the the Samsung SATA connector and connect to the SATA internal optical drive connector?

  The EFI on your Mac version works partially with a USB Flash drive, but the file info.plist mounting is required. The VM/Winclone method also works.

• Re: Satellite P100 - after update BIOS it does not start optical drive

  I have updated the BIOS to 4.70 in my P100 PSPAAE. After restarting, I expect about 10 minutes, but nothing has happened, after that the screen of the BIOS, the screen went black. I turned off the laptop only.

  I chose the option "start windows normally". Since (I assume) the laptop does not drive. Any, I have to start from there. Everything else works fine.

  It is because of the update of the BIOS, or something else could cause this problem? Any idea or help appreciated!

  Hello

  The optical drive is recognized from the BIOS?
  You can read the disc in Windows?

  Maybe you should load the default settings in the BIOS and try another bootable disk.

• Windows 7 will not install the driver for hp deskjet 6540

  I followed all the instructions on the site of HP and windows will not find and install the driver for my HP 6540. How to make Windows do what should or is there a reliable place to download the driver from?

  There is a driver recommended relatively complete for the Deskjet 6540 written by HP and Microsoft via Windows Update.  If the automatic install does not work, perform the following steps: connect the printer by USB.  Click Start, devices and printers, adding a printer, select the appropriate port and when the list of printers, click Windows Update in the lower right part of the dialog box.  It will take a few minutes for the update to complete, once that he choose the Deskjet HP (Hewlett-Packard no) 6500 Series.

  If for some reason you can't use the driver provided through Windows Update, you can download the driver from the Windows Catalog site.  The Windows Catalog site requires the use of Internet Explorer.  For the Dsekjet 6500 Series there are three drivers listed.  11.4 Mo is the x 86 32-bit driver.  11.6 Mb file is x 64 64 bit version.  13.9 MB file is the least common architecture IA64.

• Portege M400 - Windows 7 does not see HARD drive

  Hi, I have the problem, I am trying to install Windows 7 on my M400, but he didn't see the hard drive.
  The hard drive is surly ok, ' couse I tested it in the other netbook, I can see it in the BIOS, but any program installation can not.

  (I tried both Ubuntu and XP Tablet Edition)

  Hi Radzik,

  I think that Windows doesn't see the drive HARD due missing RAID drivers Windows needs of these RAID drivers before you can install it because it doesn t contain these drivers for the disk HARD is not recognized. You can download the RAID driver from Toshiba Web site.

  You can then create a new installation disc using nLite with drivers or copy the drivers on an external floppy drive. Start Windows XP after you press F6 to load drivers from floppy drive.

• Satellite U300 - Windows XP does not see HARD drive

  Hello

  I've updated the BIOS with the latest version, I've built a floppy with the SATA drivers, none of them work, XP Setup is not able to recognize the HD.

  Surprisingly enough the BIOS SATA mode option can not be seen.

  Any idea?

  Kind regards
  Lionel.

  Hello

  Not all BIOS contains the SATA option!
  In your case, I recommend the construction of a new CD of Windows XP by using the nLite.
  nLite is a free tool and allows you to include the SATA dirvers in the Win XP CD!

  Then you can use the new XP disk to start and new installation of the OS

  Search here in the forum! There is enough discussion on this procedure

• Windows Vista will not read external drives

  I had an external hard drive connected to my computer earlier today. All of a sudden, my computer froze and started to make noises beeps, then I stopped and released my external drive.  Now, whenever I plug a drive it tells me that I have to reformat. However when I try to reformat the drive, he told me that the format could not be completed. It allows me to format NTFS, but that does nothing for me. I need to format in FAT or FAT32, but it won't let me. I even reformatted my drive to FAT32 from another computer, but when I plug in Vista it still says it needs to be formatted.  I got lost. How can I get Vista to re-read my external drives?
