Bios not recognizing flash driver

Lenovo G5030
excuse me guys
i have problem when i enter to Bios setup to change settings inside I was not find usb drivers to change it
and I want installing windows and there are problem about it
please any one can help me in that

Hook the hdd up to the same cable as the optical drive. If you are seeing the drive in a raid screen and it is hooked to an ide port, it has to be on the via controller. If you leave it on the ide1 channel then you don't need any drivers. If you want to put it on ide2 or ide3 then you are going to have to use the F6 option when installing windows to install the via drivers.

Recovery media program not recognizing flash drive in USB port

I have a new NB505-N500BL netbook. I am trying to create a backup using the Toshiba Recovery Media Center.
However, it doesn't seem to recognize that I have an 8GB flash drive installed.
Everytime I hit "create," I get the message to insert a 7.7GB flash drive. When I hit "OK" I get a msg to insert a flash drive greater than 7.7GB.
The 8GB flash drive is installed. I've tried it in all 3 USB ports. I've tried inserting it before turning ont the computer and afterwards.
I bought the flash drive directly from Toshiba so it should be good. I also assume a new 8GB flash drive meets the requirements of 7.7GB.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Emma

Hi Emma,
Contrary to what the size it's asking for, it's possible that the drive is just slightly too small. Even though the data may fit on the drive you have, the way TRMC calculates its free space may be slightly off. If you wish, you can try building this by hand and see if it fits. As follows:
1. First format the USB drive and make it active.
2. Now reboot the machine hitting the <F8> key until you are presented with a menu.
3. The first option should be "Repair...", then hit <ENTER>
4. You will be present with two login screens and eventually arrive at a repair menu.
5. First open up a command box and leave it open.
6. Now go back to the menu and launch the "TOSHIBA Recovery Wizard".
7. It will eventually get to a warning screen. Don't go pass this warning screen.
8. Once it gets to the warning screen, toggle back to the command box.
9. All you need to do is copy the contents from (I believe it's drive Q:\" to you root of your USB drive.
"robocopy Q: (USB Drive letter) /E /R:1 /W:2
10. Once everythings copied (assuming it fits), <Cancel> and the warning screen and then try rebooting from your USB drive.

Usb port not recognizing external drive

When I plug my external backup drive, Lacie, into either USB ports on my MacBook Pro, it is not recognizing the drive. Not sure if I powered down incorrectly. It use to recognize it. Help.

Start by looking for the drive in the Apple System Profiler (from the Apple menu's far left Apple logo>About This Mac>More Info>Hardware (in left column) >USB.) If the drive is correctly powered and connected, it will show up here.
If it doesn't show up, the problem is with the drive. With the drive plugged in, put your ear to the drive and listen for the whirring sound the drive makes when it is powered up. If it isn't making any sound, ot's either a bad drive or a bad power supply.
If the drive is making sound , then the problem is probably the USB cable or your USB port. Try a different USB cable. This should fix the problem; if all the above tests were good and the drive still doesn't mount, it may be the USB controller in the Mac. That's a serious problem that requires repair or installation of an aftermarket USB controller.
Hope this helps

Photoshop not recognizing graphics driver

I have a brand new Sony Vaio i7 core, 8 gig's of ram and 1Tb hd, and I get this message whenever I fire up Phontoshop: "Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered. Say's I need 512Meg of Ram, but I have 8Gig's of Ram. The the message is followed by a pop-up that says the video driver may need to be updated, but I checked and it doesn't. It says it can't do 3d, I don't need it too, but it's annoying that it's not recognizing a driver on a brand new computer. Any ideas if there is a way to get this working properly? Thanks!

There is no "Photoshop online".
What version of Photoshop are you using?
And the display driver message refers to bugs in your display driver, plus the requirements to have 512 Meg of VRAM (not RAM) on your video card to use the 3D features.
You need to update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website to pick up all the latest bug fixes. Updates from Microsoft are years out of date.

HPE-310t BIOS not finding 3TB drive

I have an HPE-310T Pavillion with a bad drive. Thought I'd upgrade to a 3TB drive (3TB 7,200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive), but the BIOS is not recognizing anything but 750GB. I don't see any BIOS updates anywhere on the support website. Ideas, suggestions?

Early 2009 mac pro not recognizing DVD drives

My Mac Pro 8 core since upgrading to Mavericks is not recognizing my Blu Ray drive unless I unplug it and re plug it in while hot.....what is this issue?

I think I have a similar sitch. I just bought a rMPB 15 with Mavericks and hooked it up to the same setup of my old 2009 17" MPB. I inserted the Logic Pro 9 install disk in my external LaCie DVD RW drive and the light on the front keeps flashing steadily as if the disk is being read but it never mounts on the desktop. I ejected the disk and installed the Logic Studio Audio Content 1 disk and it mounted fine. I inserted the Logic Pro 9 install disk into the drive on the old 17" and it mounted fine there as well. So I am at a loss as to what the glitch is and I can't be sure if its the DVD RW drive, the rMPB itself, Mavericks, or both or neither or....????

6910P bios recover usb flash drive issue

hello I have a 6910P, that got messed up when I upgraded the memory to 4gb, its was running fine, then I plugged my wall charger in, and it stated your charger is not the right power
or something to that effect, then it shut down.
I have read a few threads, that stated it was a bios issue,
but the issue is that I cant get into the bios to upgrade it, and or reset the settings
i have removed the cmos battery
I have also tried this
Just so nobody else has to go through this hell I finally got it working fo me on my HP G60-235DX.
I downloaded the latest Bios (360BF65.FD)
Made two copies and renamed them to 3612.FD and 3612.BIN (Not sure which is exactly right)
Copied that to a small (256MB) SD Card (Any 2Gig and below would probably work)
Placed the SD in the laptop
Removed Battery and AC from the laptop
Pressed and held both WIN and B Key
Inserted AC, waited 4 seconds and pressed power, released WIN+B right after pressing power.
Give it a minute and it will start to beep very annoyingly, nothing will be on screen.
It powers down when its done and that's it.
my machine refuses to boot to the bios, I only have a 4Gb usb drive formatted to FAT, is this drive just too large or something?
also I know the unit still works as the cpu fans turns on as soon as I insert the battery, and the hd light on the front is also on. the cpu fan just stays, and then turns off... over and over again.
I also bought a brand new oem hp charger, and also put back the original 1GB ram stick
is my motherboard toast, or do I need to find a super small flash drive, or buy the darn usb floppy drive
thanks for any help

Looks like some high quality brand
google link
edit: bullshit, this seems to have nothing to do with the brand I guess...

Question re: MacBook not recognizing hard drive...

Question: When a MacBook is not recognizing it's hard drive, what are the basic steps one can take to fix?
Have been reading through the posts the past few hours, and do see information on this, but am wondering/hoping someone can simplify a bit for me? Am not very computer savvy...
Would so greatly appreciate any help

Boot from your Install DVD and go to Disk Utility and find the hard drive from there and repair it.
If DU can't find the HD then it's probably defective.

After unsuccessfully updating to Yosemite, back on Mavericks. But now my Timemachine or system not recognizing the hard drive. Is there any way to manually locate or find the hard drive?

Hi kruione,
If you are having an issue with an external drive not being detected by your iMac, I would suggest resetting the computer's parameter RAM. See this article for how -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

MacBook Pro not detecting flash drive

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro laptop (latest model) and I've encountered a bit of a problem with it.
When I plug a USB flash drive into either of the USB ports on the laptop, the computer fails to detect the drive and show it on the desktop.
However, when connected to my Thunderbolt Display and with the USB drive connected through the monitor or even through the keyboard (which is connect to the monitor) the laptop detects the USB drive without any issues. Also when I connect the keyboard directly into the laptop via USB and then plug the USB drive into the keyboard it detects it just fine.
The problem only occurs when plugging the USB drive directly into one of the laptop ports.
Any suggestions on how I can fix this?
Thank you

Yeah, it's just one drive. I think I figured out what the problem is. The USB drive is very old and cheap, most likely USB 2.0 but the ports on the MacBook Pro are USB 3.0 so there might be a compatibility problem.
In theory that should not be the case since USB3 is supposed to be backwards compatible to USB2. Perhaps the solution is to copy the data to a new device and trash the old drive. At least the cost will not be excessive.
Ciao.

[SOLVED] BIOS not detecting USB Drives after i installed Arch

SOLVED: In BIOS under 'Advanced' disable 'Fast BIOS Mode'.
Original post:
Hi there!
I'm fairly new to the arch (and linux) scene and just setup my Samsung 530U3B with a brand new installation of arch. Everything went fine and the system is running flawlessly. Almost.
I just happend to notice that BIOS is not checking for USB drives anymore, it just somehow skips that part. If enter the boot selection, the bootable USB drive won't show up. Neither does it show up in BIOS setup. I tried to boot with the same USB drive that i used to install arch just yesterday, the live media does not boot - the drive doesn't even blink. The boot priority is set to usb drive first, the boot selection screen (hammering f10 during boot) doesn't give me any other option than to boot from the normal SSD. Also, prior to the arch installation (came with w7 installed) the BIOS screen would stay for about 2seconds and then proceed to boot - this doesn't happen anymore. When i press the power button greeted by the grub bootloader in about 1s.
I tried 2 different usb drives, both with the arch iso (same that i used to install the currently running OS, downloaded yesterday). The drives also show up once my arch is booted (starting to blink just after i hit enter in grub). Also, both drives boot without a problem on my desktop computer.
Anyone got any ideas?
I don't really now what kinda of information would be helpful so i'm just dumping stuff i know:
BIOS: Phoenix SecureCore Tiano Version 04XK
Machine: Samsung 530U3B
SSD: Samsung MZ7PC128HAFU-000
ISO used to install (checksum ok): archlinux-2012.07.15-netinstall-dual.iso

Welcome to the forum.
If you just set the USB stick to be first in the boot order, the next option (from the list) takes its place the moment you unplug it. You need to set the BIOS to boot from your equivalent of "Removable Devices" first, "Internal Drives" second and "Optical Drives" third.
The USB stick doesn't show up at all. I set the priority as follows:
1. USB HDD
2. USB FDD
3. USB CD
4. SATA CD
5. SATA HDD
6. NETWORK
I used that same configuration to install arch. USB doesn't seem to initialize at all. Also, if i enter "usb" in the grub commandline, no devices are listed.
Thanks!
UPDATE:
I just figured it out. In my BIOS under 'Advanced' the 'Fast BIOS Mode' was enabled, once i disabled it, everything went fine. I don't remember changing that option. Silly me.
Sorry for your time

K9N2 Bios not displaying BD drive on sata

I get this annoying problem from time to time. My computer will freeze forcing me to warm boot. during the reboot process it hangs at the animation screen for a long time before continuing on to vista desktop. Sometime I have to move the mouse to make the animation move again other times I had to remove my USB Saitek X45. I looked in the BioS to see if i had something set wrong because I noticed a post boot there was no listing for my BD drive as being detected although it shows up in vista. I updated the bios but this still happens.

no it only came with the utility CDs for writing media to disk that i could see i am currently searching lite-on site for a firmware update if available. god i hope it is not a bad drive but i did replace cables to see. i listed only the blu-ray drive but in actually it seems to stem from several different things from usb to god knows what else. i have read somewhere about logitech mice sometimes cause freezing at boot screen since it does sometimes start moving again if i move the mouse. so in all i have no idea what causes this. the drive is on sataII 4 and usually shows up just strange that vista is seeing it and it works normally until it freezes from either when i leave it on for a long time and take it out of selection screen when the screensaver is on. starting to think i just put together a nightmare.

HT201338 The adapter doesn't work (not recognized) and driver won't install on OS 10.8. What next?

I plugged n the GB Thunderbolt adapter in my 13" Air and it is not recognized. Trying to install theTB update I get the message that I need 10.7 but I am running 10.8.4. Help!

Hi,
I did install from the disk image you referenced and it worked. I still haven't been able to print wirelessly, but now that I have the correct PPD, I should be able to figure out the rest.
As for my OS, I misspoke. The PowerBook IS running 10.4.11. I work on a lot of different machines and sometimes I forget which was the latest build of the OS on the machine I'm working on at the time. Ah, the senior moments.
Anyway, thanks for pointing me to the download that solved the problem at hand. Now, on to the next issue ;-)

Ibook not ejecting flash drive

Hello all, I have a problem ejecting flash drives from my ibook g4 12" 1.33 ghz. Whenever there is one plugged in, the light on it is always on and when I try to eject it, it says that it is in use and that it cannot be ejected. I have Norton AV software on my ibook so I don't know if this will affect it. Please send me some suggestions. Thanks.

In addition, some flashdrives have two components.
My SanDisk has only one desktop icon, but my Memorex has two icons, for some reason.
If a flashdrive mounts with two icons, draw a circle around both with the mouse to select both, and drag both to the trash.
As noted, the lights mean little, and on some flashdrives, the light is on the underside and cannot easily be seen.
I wait for a minute or so before removing the drive after ejecting it.

Finder does not show flash drive but it is mounted.

After reformatting a drive to FAT it was automounted to the /Volumes directory. I checked and it is there with all of the content there. Disk Utility also is telling me that it was mounted. The weird part is that the Finder does not have the drive in its sidebar. What else is weird is that other drives come up in the sidebar. Reformatting the same device and changing the volumes name will make it come up.
How can I make it show up in the finder?
Is it possible that I somehow blacklisted volumes with that name?

well then turn that option on temporarily in finder preferences->general.
