Dear Somraj
I have faced one problem when installing Solaris 10 in Solaris box v20Z (AMD platform dual CPU). Solaris 10 is not detecting the full 73 gb 10k rpm hdd. During fresh installation only 18gb of the hard disk is detected.
Sun provided one patch ( 119376-02) and after using the ITU disk from the patch (as advised in the patch readme), the installtion in getting stucked at 14%.
Thanks and Regards

repair disk just checks for errors
likely its a PC formatted HD, thats why you cant read it
Formatting ERASES a HD, so dont do that to the other persons HD.
check what the format of it is. If its NTFS youd need an APP like Paragon to read / write to it.

Lenovo z400 touch (hard disk not detected in boot)

Greetings And Salutations.Laptop Specification:Lenovo z400 touchWin8.1 SGL1TB hard disk I seem to have problem with my laptop not being able to boot operating system.Before all this occurred, I was casually browsing with chrome. Then I noticed a freeze as I was unable to move the mouse pointer, or even execute ctrl shift delete command. This happened after I acquired a blue screen. But it restarted fast into the lenovo white logo before I could make of the error code.Afte that, I was not able to boot into operating system I did bios setup but hard disk is not detected. Until now I am still stuck at not being able to boot my operating system due to hard disk not detected and not in boot menu option..Help anyone? (my probable guess is hardware malfunctioned?)

If the hdd is no longer detected in the bios then the possibility is that you have a crashed hdd and therefore need to replace it. Just to be sure, go to bios and set everything to default. Save and exit. See if you can now see the hdd in the bios.

Hard disk not detected during booting or also it does not show in boot menu.

hard disk not detected during booting or also it does not show in boot menu please tell

you may have a failed hard drive or bad cables, i would check first to see if the hard drive is powering on. if it doesn't try a different power connection, and if it still doesn't start spinning i would say that it is bad and get a new hard drive. If
it does start spinning and just isn't being recognized, try a different sata port if you have the option or a different sata cable all together.

Hard disk not detected once, but now working?

Hi,
I'm Zak, a bit of techie when it comes to playing with software, or re-assembling computers and whatnot. Unfortunately I've got no clue about some other things.
A bit of quick history on my notebook: The fan has been making terrible noises the last few weeks. Initially I thought it was some dust so I got some duster. A lot of dust came out, so that can only be good, but the noises came back after a few days. After some searching I figured the other logical explanation was probably the hard drive going bad. I'm hesitant to send it back to HP because I use it for all my university work and it would really set me back a few weeks to not have it.
So, a few days ago, I booted up my notebook to a "hard drive not detected" - or very similar - message. There were a few options, for f1-f4, they were system information, and 3 different tests (I think). I ran the tests, each one came back fine, noting that there was no OS installed, or hard disk to boot from. I rebooted because I hadn't quite seen it boot up, and wanted to see if there were any other options. Turns out, it started up fine. I restarted once more and again, it did fine.
Next, I scrambled around, backing up all my data, getting together warranty info, installing the HP Support Assistant, etc. I ran all the tests from the Support Assistant and there were no problems detected. Since then I've just been hibernating the notebook when I stop using it, and I haven't encountered any unusual trouble. It all seems fine, but my warranty expires Dec 7th of this year. Is it safe for me to assume the "hard drive not detected" error was just a single misfire? I've read a lot of threads and FAQs on it and it doesn't sound like something that just happens once and goes away. On the other hand, I've never had to use a warranty so am unsure quite how the process works, and like I said, sending it anywhere would put me back in my work.
For the sake of a full post, I have an HP G62-367DX Notebook, running on Windows 7 64-bit OS, and as far as I know there were no changes made between the error and my prior boot. If there's any other information I can provide, just let me know.
Cheers, thank you very much for any assistance, and good day
This question was solved.

The tests from the Assistant are not as comprehensive or reliable as the full hard drive test in the BIOS....tap F10 as you power up, go in there and find the hard drive test. Run the long form test and see what is says. It is not unusual for hard drive issues to start as intermittent and gradually get more frequent. If your drive passes the long form test you can fairly safely assume it was a one-time gremlin of some sort, but it is still a real good idea to back up. I like the idea of the online backup services and I will name Carbonite only because it is well known and not as an endorsement. There are several more and an external drive is also a good idea.
You cannot put off a reboot forever; you are going to have to confront the issue at some point.

External hard disk not detecting

Hi, I am using WD 1 TB external hard disk and it was going all good till now one day my friend asked for my hard disk as he need to back up some data and connected it to PC. Now I am trying to connect it to mac but mac is not detecting.
My hard disk has all my softwares and other important data.
Need help ASAP

NEED HELP, old hard disk failed, new hard disk not detected.

My hard disk died, not working, not detected when I restart with the MacOS X DVD and attempt to reinstall.
I have bought a new hard drive, 160 GB ATA - IDE Samsung drive, and carefully replaced it following service manual instructions. All connectors have been carfully but firmly reconnected, and the new hard disk is not detected.
What can i do?? where is the problem??
Thank you very much for your help.

Do you know that the new hard drive is working? As it's new chances are it is, just asking .... do you know it's powering up? If you replug the old not working hard drive in, is it recognized? (this is where you don't put the computer back together, but just replace the hard drive and sort of close it back up, but don't use any bolts close the case). Plus you can feel or clearly hear if the drive is starting up or not.

New hard disk not detected on openboot

hello guys,
would like to request help if there are any settings i need to enable for a netra t1 to detect the new hard disks that were added on a dell disk array. the netra t1 is able to detect scsi hds 1-3 but not the 8-11. have checked netra t1 manual and it says that it supports both narrow and wide scsi. probe scsi only shows the following disks:
/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/scsi@2
Target 0
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST318404LSUN18G 8590
Target 1
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST318406LC 8A03
Target 2
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST318406LC 8A03
Target 3
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST318406LC 8A03
the new disks are of the same model. any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
the netra t1 is able to detect scsi hds 1-3 but not the 8-11.
/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/scsi@2
Target 0
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST318404LSUN18G 8590
Target 1
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST318406LC 8A03
Target 2
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST318406LC 8A03
Target 3
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST318406LC 8A03
This is an incomplete output of probe-scsi. Which of these disks are internal (maybe only ID 0?) ?
Set auto-boot? to FALSE at the ok-prompt. Temporarily insert one of the new disks in the slot of one of the detected disks (e.g. ID3). Is the disk now detected at the OBP ? If it is, there is something wrong with the external chassis.
I assumed that this is a Netra T1 AC200/DC200 with only a single channel SCSI controller.

[Solved] Hard Disk not detected

Currently i am using 4 hard drives and out of which 2 hard drives are detected and 2 are not. The fasinating thing is that in BIOS all the 4 hard drivers are detected and using a live cd i can access all the 4 drives without any prob. All the 4 drivers are working properly in windows7. It's just in arch linux 2 of my drives are not detected.
Recently i have upgraded my system from kernel 3.6.9 to 3.6.10
the drives are SATA drives. they are connected directly to the motheboard using SATA cables. the live cd i used was Ubuntu. I checked in /sys/block/ and with lsblk. In both of them i can see 2 drives sda and sdb.
Even check the dmesg, but there was nothing related to sdc or sdd. even on boot there were no errors.
They are NTFS formatted and always the 2 same disks are detected.
pls guide me as i am really freaked off due to this prob.

How about rebooting, and then posting the output of dmesg. It will be long, so be sure to use BBCode 'code' tags. Alternately, install wgetpaste; pipe the output of dmesg through wgetpaste, and post the link wgetpaste provides here.
Edit: Never mind I see you updated with solved while I was posting. But what is the solution?
Thanks ewaller for the reply The prob was that, the capacity of my SMPS ( power unit ) was not sufficient to run 4 HDD + printer + 2 TB external drive. So this was the main reason. When i disconnected the printer and the external drive again all the 4 HDD were detected in my arch machine

Hard disk not detected by bios

Hi, I have a CQ50-107NR and when press the power button the hard drive light indicator is flashing, but the bios or windows does not detect the hard disk, I have tried several hard disk that work in my other computers, I have been reparing pcs for more than 15 years and am very stumped by this problem. In my experience if the hard drive indicator is blinking that indicates that the laptop has detected it. But for this one not to detect it is confussing. I am repaing the laptop for someone, had to fix a problem with it over heating. If anyone has any ideas on this or had a similar problem please let me know.

It is not that uncommon on that series of laptops with AMD processor and nVidia GeForce graphics. The laptop is a close cousin of the dv6000 series which had a lot of issues back in the 2008 time frame. The chips on the motherboard will not keep a complete connection due to manufacturing flaws and it shows up as disappearing peripherals or dead video. Wireless cards, hard drives, optical drives all can stop working. The only fix is a motherboard repair or replacement.

Hard disk not detected- HP630 laptop

my HP630 just froze and comes up with one message, HDD not detected. I want to save all photos (data ) on the laptop if possible, so dont want to re-install Windows from CD booting without having an experts advice. if i conduct any tests (such as testing what is wrong with the hard disk or the state of he hard disc) the test freezes midway.Tried booting through USB, but the BIOS does not have that option. Please can anyone help? Many thanks.
if any more information is needed please let me know

Hi,
I would suggest removing the HDD from the notebook, place it in an external caddy - an example is on the link below - connect this to another PC and see if you can access and back-up your files.

Fire X2250 / Hard disks not detected in AHCI mode

we have two Sun Fire X2250 servers. one i have completely setup already with an OS, using AHCI mode for the hard disks in the BIOS.
on the second server, i setup the disks the same way using AHCI. the system booted and detected all of the disks, and i installed an OS. now, after rebooting, the disks are not detected; the BIOS is stuck on 'detecting SATA channel 0'. if i remove the drive on SATA0, then the BIOS gets stuck on 'detecting SATA channel 1'. the BIOS isn't frozen, because i have left it waiting for several minutes, then pushed F2 and i saw it changed to "Entering setup..." i can never get to setup, though, because the disks are never detected. if i unplug both HDD's, then i can get into BIOS setup. i have tried loading failsafe as well as optimal defaults. this resets it back to IDE mode, and the disks are detected fine but, as soon as i change to AHCI mode, the BIOS can't detect the disks. again, the other X2250 is working just fine with AHCI. these servers are practically brand-new (have been sitting in storage for some time) and this is the first time they have been configured.
i also tried removing power from the server for at least 2 minutes, and i also took out the battery for well over 30+ seconds. the strange thing is, that doesn't seem to have cleared the CMOS because, as soon as the BIOS comes up, it is still stuck 'detecting SATA channel 0' whereas i would have expected it to be reset to IDE mode and detect the disk.
what's happened?

i was finally able to clear the CMOS by powering up the system with the battery removed. disks are detected fine but, as soon as i change to AHCI mode (leaving everything else as it is), the BIOS still freezes at "Auto-detecting SATA PORT 0".
i compared the BIOS settings with the working X2250 and copied them over exactly, but still the issue remains. is some piece of hardware failing?

Hard Disk not detected on Elite Workstation 8770w

First and for most the battery of the laptop is dead or not working anymore so the bios date keep restoring to default, but when the battery is connected, then when i was tried to use my win 7 professional installer just to view the partition of the hard drive, it doesn't show any hard drive or not detected. So what I've done i reboot, for normal operation, hard drive did not boot anymore, then i tried to restore the settings and components test, hard drive is not detected or unknown.
I submitted a case already to the support hope the outcome is fast so the my operation will not be halted.. Case number is [Personal Information Removed]

RAID disk not detected by Windows XP

I have installed a single disk connected to the RAID controller on my K7T266 Pro2-R Mobo.
The RAID controller (that is enabled in BIOS) detects the disk, reports a correct size and reports it as "Functional". I have used the BIOS utility to assign an "Array" to the single disk drive.
I downloaded the latest drivers from this site and I have installed the drivers in Windows XP Pro (a number of times...) In the Device Manager, I get a "Windows XP Promise FastTrak100(tm) Controller(PDC20265)" under the "SCSI and RAID controllers" folder. The driver seems to work (at least the Device Manager claims "This device is working properly.")
The disk itself does not show up under the "Disk drives" folder in the Device Manager. The "Disk Management" in Windows XP also treats the disk as non-existent.
When I tried to install the "FastCheck Monitoring Utility", I got error messages "Service Install - Unknown Error". When trying to run the utility, it says "FastTrak controller or driver not found".
The event log says nothing of interrest.
I use the FastTrak PCI version in another system running Windows 2003 Server and there everything works OK. But that driver is almost a year newer...
What's wrong? Has anybody got the on-board FastTrak controler to work in WinXP? Any hints on what to do to make it work?

I just happened ( ) to have a second identical disk drive laying around (Christmas time you know...) so I installed it in the system. If the driver has any "single disk restrictions", it should work now - shouldn't it?
The BIOS RAID setup happilly discovered the new disk and I configured the two disks as a stripe set.
Windows XP? Nothing. The disks simply doesn't exist. There must be something wrong with the WinXP driver, but I can't figure out what. I've scanned the Internet and there seems to be a number of people having the same problem, but I haven't found anyone that have a solution.
MSI? Promise? We have a problem here...

Why is my hard disk not detected in my macbook, but detected in others

I'm using the Macbook 13" Retina Display with OS Mavericks
about a few days ago, when i inserted my PQI H568V my mac gave statement "the disc you inserted was not readable by this computer"
then i choose the ignore button(if i'm not mistaken).
Then the next day, when i wanted to check for my files, my macbook cannot recognise the hard drive.
But when i plug it in into other mac, it can be recognised and the data is all still there.
please help me! thanks

Yes, I have done the backup.
Macbook Pro Retina 13 inch, Late 2013
OS X 10.9.5
Not only in other mac, but i've tried to mount it in other laptops, it's also being detected. However it isn't detected in my macbook only.
After I chose the ignore button, I didn't do anything, but I only shut down my mac and then unplugged the hard disk.
After a few days, i notice this from my disk utility
That's what shown on my Log at Disk Utility.
What should I do now?
