XP Pro - unable to detect the hard drive during the upgrade
Hello
I was trying to add a second IDE hard drive to my PC, after the installation of the system tells me not hard are detected. Press FI to try again. F2 to set up. I did both, but the drive still not detected and the system could not start.
I try to install back my original drive (a drive), but the problem persists.
Can I know how to fix this?
It can because of the IDE Hard Drive cable?
Thank you

It is not at all what you did (for example, why do you of the re - install your original disc). However, if what you were doing was to connect the new drive to the middle connector on the cable and then disconnect it, maybe all what you did was disconnect the cable at the end of the motherboard.
Yes, your problem may be a faulty IDE cable... but that seems unlikely given that it worked before... unless you damaged the cable while you were trying to connect the second drive.
Look carefully at the end of the motherboard of the cable and make sure it is properly connected, do not offset by a PIN or two and - if you had unplugged, that you do not bend the pins when you reconnect it.

Windows XP Pro unable to detect the USB mass device
Original title: USB
I have a Western Digital ("My Passport Essential" WD3200ME) portable mass memory. My PC is running XP Pro with all the latest news from the security of Ms. In the last year or two, I noticed that it becomes progressively difficult for XP to recognize my USB mass storage device - sometimes, he took a reboot and repeated the reconnection of the device before the device is recognized. MS updates, the more difficult this because to make a connection. When it fails to connect, I get this annoying Hardware Wizard, which constantly to appear, asking Windows to search for the correct driver. I also have an old Pro XP PC I have installed all the updates latest MS, but it has XP SP3 installed. The old PC has no difficulty to recognize and connect to the same USB mass storage device. So I have 2 PC Pro XP: does not work with the latest updates from MS that gives connection problems to my USB mass storage and the other XP Pro base. Even if I bought another USB mass storage, it would probably suffer the same problem. What do you think is the problem?
One of the best USB debugging of sites I've come across is this:
<>http://www.Uwe-Sieber.de/usbtrouble_e.html >
Go about 1/2 to the bottom of the page and look for the section titled: "application for XP drivers. Most likely, you just need to delete the file "infcache.1" and let it rebuild.HTH,

the Windows xp Setup program does not detect my hard drive
When I try to install Windows XP, it does not detect my hard drive which is visible in the bios. My bios options are very limited, but I was able to use the bios to change the sata in ide. It still does not work, and now he is not found with the disc of windows 7 I have. This isn't a new pc. He was working at a given time, but foolishly, I formatted the hard drive and have no drivers for my drive hard hitachi. I bought a new seagate Mak, but now this disc hard is not allocated and is also not detected. I have no way to get an operating system and I'm in a jam financially... Please help.
SATA drives are not recognized by Windows XP installation disc. Change the BIOS SATA ATA sometimes solves this problem and allows you to install and sometimes does not. Microsoft's solution is to press the F6 key when you are prompted for additional drivers, and then insert a floppy disk (Yes, it takes a floppy) with the top driver.
"Limited OEM driver support is available with F6 during installation of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314859 >Several means have been formulated to work around needing a floppy disk. You can view the following items:

My question is very simple. I tried all the options I could think for my printer detect the alignment page and it is still unable to detect the page. Can someone who has had the same problem please send me a list of recommended procedures to solve the problem? I intend to go through one by one until it is resolved. The post that I found with this exact topic didn't have a sufficient response that other that the user placed a bunch of papers on the page alignment and the printer worked... Could really use some help, my patience is pretty much exhausted. I use a MAC Leopard operating system. Thank you.
Hi drubio1989,
What are the levels of ink in each cartridge? I connected a troubleshooting document that addresses the lack of alignment. Click here You could take a look and perform one of the steps that you did not. Let me know how it goes.
Good luck!
