• Windows CD can not find installed hard drives

  I have a PC that has windows XP installed and worked well and I have DSL so I kept it updated. It has been updated for the updates. It was a month that it seemed hung on a windows update and I've finally powered down to exit the update mode. After that, he would finally in XP but would not other that the busy when an icon is clicked. I decided to reload XP using the same CD I used originally when I built PC. It will load the drivers to install XP, but when installing windows is selected it says no hard drives found. When booting 2 HARD disks are displayed, but are not detected when you look in the BIOS. I've tried changes in the BIOS as auto detect HDD including default BIOS and not go. I remembered to change a partition using Partition magic 8.0 and decided that might be the problem, so I started in the magic of partition and formatted part C of the HDD in NTFS, but the results are the same. Any suggestion is appreciated. TIA

  Do you mean you see a message like this?

  Setup did not find any hard drives installed in your computer. Make sure that the hard drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that any hardware configuration of the drives is correct. This may involve a diagnosis provided by the manufacturer or the installer running. Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3.

  If the disks are not appearing in BIOS, it seems unlikely that XP will be able to see them no more.

  Describe the best you can, your hard disk configuration...  IDE, SATA, SCSI, RAID configurations...

  You build the hardware yourself or is it a system store bought?

  Are you able to determine when the system turns on, the brand and model of your motherboard and the BIOS it is running?

  Without more information, I can only offers these general reflections where to search:

  When you see a message like this, obviously the XP installation starts to load, but then when the installation program needs to go out and find your hard drive is not find the hard drive.  It means not necessarily your hard drive is defective and if it worked before, it's probably still plugged.  It simply means that the installation of XP is not able to find it.

  Looks like you need enter the BIOS on your system by pressing the 'Delete', F2, F10 or F12 key (what the key is good for your system), find the section where the types of hard disks and hard disk interfaces are configured and temporarily change the setting so the XP installation is able to find the hard drive.

  Where to find the accommodation and how to change depends on your system manufacturer and the version of the BIOS, so you end up having to look at her.  If you know your system brand and model, we can probably help you find a job.

  You must locate and change the interface mode to your hard drive in the BIOS so that when installing XP loading, it will be able to locate the hard drive.

  Before making adjustments, you should take note of what are the current BIOS settings, so you can change when you are finished.

  The adjustment varies so here are some examples that I have accumulated:

  The adjustment is done in the BIOS and could be in Integrated Peripherals, Configuration of SATA, SATA Mode device.  After you make the changes, save them and restart your XP installation program.

  If you find that the mode is set on the RAID/SATA mode, change the IDE mode.

  If you find that the mode is set to AHCI, change the ATA mode.

  If you find that the mode is set to AHCI emulation Mode, change the IDE emulation mode.

  If you find that the mode is set to SATA, SATA mode off or change the ATA mode.

  If you find that the mode is set to SATA Native Mode, disable the native SATA Mode.

  If you find that the mode is set on AHCI/RAID Autodetect, change the combination mode.

  If find you the setting that works for you, I would like to know what it is so I can add it to my notes.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

• Local tech installed Windows Vista Home Premium after a hard drive failure. However, my key is Windows Basic. Is the copy, he put on my system illegal?

  Genuine Windows clean install

  Hello

  I had a problem with my laptop Acer Extensa 5230th. It was not started and so I took for Matech computers.  They diagnosed as having a mechanical drive problem.  So they replaced the drive and installed a more recent version of windows vista on.  Note: I haven't bought a new copy of vista family premium, he said he was going to reinstall vista.  It had windows Vista Home Basic, it has installed vista Home premium and said that he had validated by call from windows, but I'm suspicious because I don't think you can use a base of windows key to validate Home premium!  It means that he has put on an illegal version on windows or used the genuine key that came with the laptop.

  In addition, on computers of brands, if this happens again, how is a technician for legally to reinstall the original windows that it came with the new hard drive? How to install windows vista basic on the new hard drive by using the original key to make it genuine? What windows installation disc would you require? or is it easier to just buy a new copy of windows?  I heard that many technicians, prefer to install illegal versions of cracking of windows instead of the customer to buy the new installation of windows.

  Kind regards

• Can I install windows 7 on the superdive replacement hard drive

  Hello people,

  Recently I replaced the drive of my macbook pro 13 inch mid-2012 with an adapter (caddy tray) to put in a second hard drive (500 GB todhiba).

  Now I am trying to install windows 7 with bootcamp (on an os x 10.9.5, bootcamp 5.1.2), but when I boot from the usb device, when windows ask me which drive I want to install it, it says: windows cannot be installed to this disk, drive must be formatted ntfs + your computer hardware seem unable to run windows 7 check your system components and try again.

  I've tried several things: the direct USB win7 reformat, delete the partition, create partition... still no luck.

  Of in osx: reformat the disk with unallocated space (MBR) and try again to install direct USB... had the same error messages.

  I even tried to install Ubuntu gnome rather with a live usb works but all I get when holding the option button while booting is my Macintosh HD, the drive appears.

  Can someone give me about workaround or even show me the way? I am out of ideas now.

  Thank you very much

  Simon.

• Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption. STOP: 0x0000007B__Blue screen

  I have a Vista 64 bit OS.  I tried to do a system restore to the last checkpoint to interrupt a Service Pack.  Restore failed (don't remember exact error), now when I try to boot Vista, I get a message saying to run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption.  STOP: 0X0000007B
  My questions are:
  (1) do I need Vista recovery CD in order to enter the menu advanced at this stage startup options?
  (2) if I decide to upgrade to Windows 7 now, made the stop: 0x0000007B have a problem with that?  or could I fall in Windows 7?
  Vista 64 gave me many problems and I think its time to make him... Thanks in advance... Mark

  Hi Markgod5,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  It seems that the hard drive is damaged if we get this error message to running chkdsk.

  You can start the computer in safe mode with command prompt and see if you can start.  Then run the chkdsk command.

  To do this follow these steps:

  (a) restart your computer if it is running.

  (b) press F8 after your computer powers initially on.

  (c) once you see the menu Advanced Boot Options, you can stop tapping.

  (d) use the up/down arrow keys to select Safe mode with command prompt.

  (e) in the command prompt window, type the following command and press enter Chkdsk /R and Chkdsk /F

  Using recovery DVDs, you cannot switch mode winRE (Windows Recovery Environment) to run chkdsk. You need DVD full version (Win 7/Vista) or Vista repair disk.

  You probably won't be able to install win 7 because the problem is with the hard drive and chkdsk should be run for the error.

  Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

  If you have forgotten the password to disk so you don t have any other possibility to get into the HARD drive. In this case, the HARD disk is unusable and unfortunately you need a new HARD disk drive. :(

• Windows problem for hard drive replacement

  I am trying to replace a hard drive in a HP d530 for a science teacher as the XP is a failure. He needs the XP until I finished preparing the Windows 7 and it has data on the XP and I put Windows 7 on the new hard drive and it has 80 GB. The old hard drive Windows XP and it is a 40 GB. I had two hard drives hooked when installing Windows 7. Windows 7, the name is the C drive and disk XP the D. I tried to start the hard drive of 7 single and it gives me an error of invalid system disk. Press a key to reboot. When I have two connected hard drives, windows 7 starts very well. A computer teacher wants to clone Windows 7 for another professor of science. He said, it won't help him with two hard drives connected. How can I get on the 80 GB stand-alone installation without having to reinstall Windows 7 Windows 7. I want to disconnect the hard drive from XP and just use the hard disk 7. I have the 7 and XP on separate hard drives. They are the two IDE hard drives. I need to get the new hard drive to boot by its self and windows 7 as a stand-alone installation.

  That's good news.

  I'm so glad you took in charge.
