BIOS doesn't recognize HD

We have different of this PC's in our factory.
Before, my colleague did all the fixes if there were problems. Now he has left the company...
So my problem: this pc has a faulty harddisk. I have some spare parts, also this harddrive.
Harddrive = Western Digital WD800JD
This spare part has already the whole system on it (sysprep).
But..if I mount this harddisk in the pc: bios doesn't recognize it ???
I have a offline USB/SATA-convertor, and if I put this new HD on it, and connect to my LaptopK, I have a folder on my PC with al the data on the harddisk: so hard-disk is ok.
What can I do?

By any chance could this hard drive have been connected to a system where Build 9879 of Windows 10 Technical preview was installed? When Build 9879 was first released, on some systems Power Up in Standby (PUIS) was enabled on some hard disks, preventing them from being seen by some systems where the spin-up command was not passed to the disk. In this scenario, the USB device could be issuing the necessary spin up command. See this Microsoft Community thread for the official details.

!!!!!I CAN'T OVERCLOCK MY CPU. BIOS DOESN'T RECOGNIZE MY AMD ATHLON XP-MOBILE

My configuration is this:
Mainboard: MSI K7N2-DELTA2-FSR
CPU: AMD Athlon XP-Mobile 2500+ 1855MHZ
Video Card: CAPTIVA Nvidia 6600GT 128MB 128bit
Hard disk: Internal Maxtor DiamonMax 10 300GB S-ATA 16MB Buffer
Audio Card: Sound Blaster Audigy Live 5.1 24bit
Power Supply: 400WATT
DVD drive: LG 16X
SO I OVERCLOCK MY CPU UNTIL 3200+ (2200mhz), AND IF I WANT TO OVERCLOCK MORE DURING "POST", BIOS DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE NEW VALUE (ES: FSB 200 / X11.5 = 2300mhz . DOESN'T RECOGNIZE).
PLEASE HELP ME OR CAN YOU TELL ME HOW CAN I RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM???
THANKS A LOT. BYE

Please furnish us some more info concerning the memory you are using and power output of the 3.3v - 5v -12v rails of your power supply along with the name of its manufacturer.
Some mobile cpus start up with a lower multiplier and then go to the bios to use the preset settings in the bios. If the cpu can't start with the bios settings, it remains at its start up values. Your mobile may not be able to run at a multiplier of 11.5 with a 200fsb. Drop its fsb back to 166 (stock fsb 133) and see if you can run it at its rated multiplier of 14. That will equal 2324mhz.
Overclocking is finding a balance between the fsb and the multiplier that allows you to get the most stable speed out of the cpu.
You also have not mentioned what vcore voltage that you are using or the temps.
The memory that I'm using are : V-Data 512x2 MB DDR CL 2,5
The power supply is 400watt chassis, 3,3V, 12V, 5V.
I tell you that with the mainboard ASUS I did't have this problem with the multiplier because I put 11.5 x 200Fsb.
Thanks of all.MSI DriversMSI Drivers

[VIA] MSI KT6V BIOS doesn't recognize my Maxtor 160GB SATA HD

I bought new Maxtor DiamondMax 160GB SATA 7200RPM harddisk (6L160M0). For being able to install Windows on the new harddisk, I used the SATA RAID driver (VT6420/VT8237) floppy, that came with the motherboard and everything went fine. Now I have installed Windows but BIOS doesn't recognize the new harddisk at all. When I check the properties of the harddisk in Windows the size is correct (~160GB).
System is working fine, but I don't dare to split the partition, before I'm positive it won't cause any problems.
Should I flash BIOS, install new sata drivers or nothing?
Motherboard MSI KT6V VIA KT600 chipset

I understand what you mean, kalasilma, but a SATA drive is not recognized by the BIOS in the same way as a PATA drive. In fact, you aren´t going to see any drive information in the BIOS at all. The situation is the same in Win XP. You can see the HD in My Computer, but despite that, you can´t get information about the HD in device manager as you would with a PATA drive. The SATA interface is much more like a software type of interface than the much older PATA interface. It´s a little bit like the old days, when you had to manually configure a HD even in BIOS in order to have it properly recognized. With that in mind, the situation is much more satisfying, as the HD is visible and the size is correctly recognized at least in Windows
In a near future the situation is most likely going to be much better when it comes to BIOS recognizing SATA drives, but with these "beta" testing motherboards of ours, the only thing we can do is to be satisfied with our drives beeing recognized by Windows, using software drivers loaded at bootup. In fact your system wouldn´t be booting at all if the drive wasn´t recognized, since the drivers are loaded from the same HD. I think you can feel completly safe with the situation, since I have seen PATA drives beeing incorrectly recognized by Windows at installation. I had one 200GB HD that appeared as only 130GB no matter what I would do. I finaly partitined it and formatted the boot partition and installed Win. I used Partition Magic to locate and format the "lost" partiton under Windows. I think you are ready to go...

HP Laptop doesn't recognize Hard Drive

Hi,
I have a HP 620 (Pentium D 2,3GHz 1GB Ram) and it doesn't recognize the Hard Drive. The battery doesn't seem to work too.
If i try to install Windows, it says that there are no hard drives found. The diagnostic test in the BIOS says the same.
The DVD player is also lousy as **bleep**.
Do you guys have some tips about cause of this problem.
System information screenshot below
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Have you entered the UEFI PC Diagnostics to see if the component tests show the hard disk?
Had you considered removing the original hard disk, then reseating it and trying again to see if it is recognized as beong installed?
You can also put another hard disk in its place to see if it is recognized.

[X301] Laptop doesn't recognize optical drive! Help!

Hello,
my ThinkPad X301 2774-LFG doesn't recognize the optical drive! Can anyone help me???
Informations about the ThinkPad
1.) Newest BIOS is installed (1.02 (6EET21WW) 2008-10-09)
2.) BIOS-Option Security->I/O Port Access-> Optical Drive is ENABLED
3.) Laptop starts fast without Drive and very slow with Drive in Bay
4.) No Drive in 'Boot Device List' when Drive is installed
5.) all other BIOS-values standard too
6.) No drive recognition in Vista (ultimate 32bit)
7.) PC Doctor show no defects
8.) Lenovo sent new drive, but it's all the same
Is the board defective or are there still other possible reasons for this problem???
Regards
Volker

Hello Volker, welcome to Lenovo forums!
Unfortunately it seems you have already tried everything to force it to work.
If it´s not recognised in bios, I would suggest to call support.
You might try a Linux live CD, but there´s no really hope
and you already know it too, as an experienced ThinkPad user, I think.

Have an HP Pavilion DV7 with Radeon HD6490M Graphics Card. Photoshop doesn't recognize it.

Photoshop CC doesn't recognize my other video card, which is a Radeon HD6490M. Can't utilize 3D tools. Is there something wrong with this particular video card that won't allow it to be recognized?

Here's one idea although it is for a DV6.
First off, reboot and press F10 to go into your BIOS.
Switch the Graphics settings from "dynamic" to "fixed". This will ensure that your computer will not use the default Intel card. I'm not sure why, but it seems as though Rage kept using that card regardless of my settings in Windows.

X240 freezes, bluescreens, doesn't recognize SSD

As the Lenovo Phone Support was not able to help me I'll try my luck here.
My newly purchased X240 (20AMS20C00) is sadly having some issues:
- 2-3 times a day the machine just freezes mid-usage. If I was watching video the problem announces itself by playing the last few seconds of audio again and again. At first the system seems to keep responding but the more buttons I click or programs I try to start, the more unresponsive it gets until its completely frozen. --> Feels like a hard drive issue to me
- Sometimes (today 3 times in a very short timespan) the laptop freezes and then shows a bluescreen "CRITICAL PROCESS DIED). Then it restarts and doesn't recognize the hard drive. Sadly I forgot the exact error message. After a few restarts it boots again.
Here's my configuration:
Windows 8.1 with all updates installed
All drivers up to date
BIOS/UEFI: GIET69WW (2.19 ) according to Lenovo Solution Center
Also, directly after purchasing the machine I replaced the internal hard drive with a Crucial M500 SSD which is running the most recent firmware.
I also did update the BIOS via System Update. Before that I didn't experience any of these problems. But as I updated it on the first day I just might not have noticed. According to the release notes of the BIOS update it was supposed to fix exactly the kind of problems I have now.
A complete system scan with the Solution Center showed everything to be ok.
What else can I do? It's very frustrating because aside from all this I am very satisfied with the laptop, but if I have to worry that it might freeze in the middle of writing an important text it's completely unusable.

I have possibly similar symptoms. I replaced the HDD in my X240 (20ALCT01WW) with a Samsung 840 Pro SSD. I use full disk encryption with Debian Jessie, but I've also run Fedora 20 and some live CDs. After a few hours of usage the filesystem will switch to read-only and dmesg will report a ton of SATA-related errors, incluing a medium error and unrecovered read errors.

This would necesssitate powering the computer off and on. After about three times my SSD got corrupted in some way, and was completely unreadable by the laptop, including in Fedora and some other Linux Live CDs.
I figured it was a problem with the drive, so I submitted a warranty claim to Amazon and replaced it. After three hours of usage the same symptoms reappeared. I put the SSD in another computer and the partition table was corrupt, but the drive could be accessed (more than the X240 could do after the error manifested).
I believe this is a problem with the SATA controller or some other low-level hardware on the X240 (perhaps the CPU's hardware encryption module, as I was doing FDE?). I find it very unlikely that two SSDs failed with only a few hours of usage.

Itunes 10.6 doesn't recognize my iphone 4s 32gb, could you please help me?

ITunes doesn't recognize either of my iPods

I downloaded the latest update recently and since then iTunes doesn't recognize either of my two iPod touches (4th gen), even though the computer does. My iPad (1st gen) is still recognized normally. I tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it several times, and that didn't work. The iPods are recognized by iTunes on other computers. The computer in question runs windows 8.1, if that makes a difference. From the look of these forums it looks like I'm not the only one who has this problem. Please help.

Tecra M4 - DVD drive doesn't recognize any disk under Vista

Hi,
after the installation of Vista my dvd drive doesn't recognize any disks !
No upgrade from XP! It was a clean Vista installation.
I found several links about the registry entries upper and lower filter this entries doesn't exist in my registry under the class CDROM.
I tested the drive under XP it works fine and recognizes everything.
Drivers are correctly installed no problems in the device manager is prompted.
So i have no idea how to get it working, seems to be a Vista problem
Could any one help me ? I'm really frustrated about this
Thanks for your help

Maybe this helps:
- Remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager.
- Then access the registry and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
- Then reboot the notebook
But what happens exactly? What disks are not recognized?

How do I pair a bluetooth headset when my MAC doesn't recognize it? The hedset work properly because they are paired with my iPhone. The headset is not an Apple product. It'd 3rd party.

This Question is at least 2.5 years old. But still an issue. I have an early 2008 and mid 2010 13 inch macbook pro running iTunes 10.7. Itunes on both machines doesn't recognize blank cds or allow me to import from a music cd when I insert it.

iTunes does not use the .xml it uses the .itl
If you are sure your old library file migrated across (does the file size and modification dates suggest it has?) start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the .itl file to get it to use that one.
