Windows XP Pro does not recognize new HDD on thnkpad T61

Hard drive: 160 GB 7200 RPM SATA

The part number of Lenovo to the new hard drive on my Bill is: 41N5737

However, the sticker on the hard drive itself has this Lenovo part number: T 42, 1057

It is manufactured by Hitachi.

ThinkPad: T61 (8891-CTO)

OS: Windows XP Pro SP2 (newly purchased, retractable)

This thinkpad had Vista Home top. I bought the new hard drive to load a copy just bought Windows XP Pro SP2 top (.) After you install the new hard drive:

1. I turned on the machine and inserted the Windows XP CD.

2. the files on the CD (drivers, etc) started loading (in memory, I guess).

3. then invited himself to choose if I want to install a new version of XP or restore an existing version.

4. I chose to install a new version.

5 then I got a message saying that Windows could not find a hard drive on my machine.

6 then I rebooted and interrupted restarting to examine the configuration of the BIOS settings

7. I found the hard drive test function and the hard drive test.

8. it took awhile, but the test drive was a success. This hard drive is OK and the BIOS is updated.

How can I make Windows XP updated on my new hard drive?

Thanks for any help...

  • Windows XP Home edition does not recognize new HDD on the Qosmio G20

    I have a Qosmio G20/390LS bought a year ago, when I worked at the Japan, I tried to upgrade the hard drive with a new HD 100 GB Hitachi SATA but I faced a problem that XP does not recognize the HD.
    For your reference, the Bios sees the new HD, when I install the XP operating system I load the driver downloaded from the Toshiba Web site but no way RAID with F6... XP does not recognize the HD.

    Do you have any idea how to fix?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Computers portable Japanese are unknown to me, but if this laptop comes with two hard drives and RAID option do not forget the good option is set in the BIOS. Without the right BIOS setting you will not be able to install the OS.

    On Qosmio G30, I was able to install Vista when for two HDD HARD drive settings were 0-RAID-1. Check it please and let us know.

    I have a Pavilion a4310f Prod Nr: race AY014AA-ABA, Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    I just found out that Windows Media Player does not recognize the songs, I recently downloaded from Wal-Mart music download Site.  The songs can be seen in the music library in a folder called 'Downloads' and I can open each song and he will play when double-clicked.  The problem is that I can't create a playlist containing the new songs and burn a copy of the reading list, because the songs are not listed in the Media Library Player any hot it is sorted (artist, Album, Genre, etc.).

    Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • HP 5600 Envy: I had to get a new laptop - it has Windows 7 and does not recognize my HP Envy 5600. Help!

    I just use the indications given on the support forum.  Error message was: "Printer not installed."  Not much to do!  My old laptop fell and broke, I got another one with Windows 7 too.  But it does not recognize my HP Envy 5600.  I have a wireless connection and a WiFi network in my house.  1 thing: it installs it as a scanner, but not a printer.  Please help me - it ' for 3 weeks and I can not print!

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help you with this!

  • My laptop does not recognize new Sandiscs - what am I missing

    I recently bought 3 new Sandisk SD Ultra 16GB 10 speed but the card reader in my computer hp laptop Windows XP, does not recognize them.

    They work fine in my camera.
    The original disks are 2 GB and they work fine in the camera and the computer.
    What Miss me?

    You don't mention what service pack you have, but if you have sp 3, the most likely reason is that the card reader in your laptop is too old to read new (> 2 GB) SDHC cards.  Connected by USB readers are fairly inexpensive, just be sure that the one you get includes the ability to read SDHC cards

    For example: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_4_5?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=sdhc+card+reader&sprefix=sdhc+%2Caps%2C213

  • Windows 7 Ultimate does not recognize the Tungsten E2

    After that I've upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows does not recognize my Tunsten E2 cable into the USB port.  I went to Device Manager to search for a triangle in order to use Aceeca.  However, there is no triangle.

    I tried using a USB key into the USB port and it worked perfectly.  However, when I tried my cable of tungsten, it's as if nothing happened in the USB port.  No recognition by Windows at all.

    Any viable solution would be much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    7. follow the signs to Aceeca.

    8. everything works.
