Windows 8 does not see the hard drive on the Satellite A200

• After you install a second WD 1 TB my book drive, Windows Explorer does not see the new drive.

  Original title: Signature Collision?

  I'm having hard to the installation of a second external drive. I use Windows 7 Ultimate RC. There was a WD 1 TB drive My Book already installed - healthy and works very well. The problem occurred after installing a second WD 1 TB my book reader. I followed all the instructions, pluuging the drive to a USB hub. Windows found the disk, installed drivers and reported the new drive ready for use.

  Windows Explorer does not see the new drive. Devices and printers shows 2 external drives from WD. Disk Management shows as 2 drives, but the second disk is offline because of a 'Signature' Collision

  Each player works very well if it's the only drive plugged in. "Eject My Book" does not work because a program (or more) are to use the player in the background (Windows or Norton).

  I installed the latest firmware and I'm still having this problem. I've been emailing WD with this problem and they are running out of ideas.

  Can anyone help?
  Thank you

• Professional Windows does not see my hard drive during installation and wants to leave the installer.

  installed the new hard drive in my compaq lap top, started the professional windows installation and stops because it cannot find the hard drive. It is in the bios and has passed the tests. My lap top has only a cd/dvd drive, a floppy drive. Not knowing what to do.

  It is probably because you have a hard drive Serial ATA (SATA) in your computer.  These drives did not exist when Windows XP came out and so no drivers for this type of disc can be found in a regular Windows XP don't install.  Windows makes allowances for that by inviting you to press the "F6" key at the beginning of the installation process, but then you must provide the SATA drivers diskette (no other medium will do).

  "Limited OEM driver support is available with F6 during installation of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314859 >

  There, several articles that explain how to install XP on a SATA drive without needing a disk.  Here are a couple of them:

• Windows XP does not start, no hard drive error

  I have windows XP installed on my hard drive of 160 GB WD Scorpio Blue PATA on a DELL Latitude D600. One day, I wake up and my laptop does not start. My computer starts up, leaves POST, but the hard drive does not start. He's right there. I try pressing the buttons but it starts a sound signal, so I have to turn it off. Normally, if there is no device that my computer can boot from it displays something along the lines, "no main boot device found. Press F1 to retry boot or F2 to enter the configuration utility. "but the screen does not show anything.
  I ran chkdisk and a number of other diagnostic tools on the hard drive, but nothing helped. I have Ubuntu on a USB key and with him, I can access the files on the hard drive - all files are intact, and I can read/write without problems. It just does not start.
  How would I go about fixing this? Any help is appreciated. It is the third hard drive that has failed inside my D600 (my second WD). I've had enough of this!

  Try to use the last good known Configuration:

  and see if that clears things up to the top.

  Hope this helps

  Device Manager identifies the mass storage device (WD1140), as well as the USB controller.

  This utility cannot sort.

• Windows 7 does not see the xp on network machines

  We are a store Dell running XP Pro on peer-to-peer networks... deployment of Windows 7 Pro workstations and laptops. Out-of-the-box, we put it sharing, discovery, working group; etc. However, some of the machines Win 7 do not see network XP machines and thus cannot use the graphical interface to map to different files and resources. You can their ping, set using "Net Use" or "Add a network location" or "Connect Player" as long as you know the complete path (ie: \\server\server_share\home\bill\cad\cnc.) But you can't see them in the network window to map the drive to records letters. I have studied this issue, has visited many forums and talked to many other tech all with the same question. The conclusion seems to be because it is a Win 7 problem not addressed XP came out. So the current thinking seems to be to use the commands Net use in an autoexec.bat file. So to use the latest version of Windows with XP, we need to use commands BACK maps automatically records. A huge advances in technology. Really? Tell us we're wrong and there is an answer?

• Portege M400: Windows XP does not recognize the 160 GB HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Portege M400 with Windows XP Tablet Edition. Now, I bought a new 160 GB drive. This disk can be recognized within the location Phase Installation of XP. Do I need a new driver?

  Best regards

  Karl Weber

  Hello

  You have to install and include the Portege M400 RAID drivers.
  It's a bit confusing because little protégé M400 does not support 2 HARD drive, but the RAID driver is required.

  Please check the Toshiba European page and download the RAID driver. During the installation of XP her you have to press the F6 key to include the driver from an external USB FDD drive.

  After you have included the don t RAID driver format HARD drive because this will lead to the driver losing.

  Best regards
