Disk not found

Hello. My laptop is a 2529 HFG with a dual boot: Linux Mint and Windows XP. Today, after starting Windows when I saw the desktop, a windows appeared to notify: disk not found. What does it mean?
Thanks,

have you installed game or application to windows using cd/dvd? Some software needs some files from cd/dvd after windows reboots.

  • IPod Classic 120GB cannot sync, "Required disk not found"

    Somebody, please help! iPod Classic 120GB charcoal, current OS as of about a week ago (won't stay synced long enough for me to see what it is), iMac 24" 10.6.4, iTunes 10.0.1. Let me know if you need any more info and I'll try to provide it.
    Everything was absolutely fine until I updated to the newest version of iTunes. Now, when I plug in my iPod, it says it's connecting then jumps straight to the "Okay to disconnect" screen. It never shows up in iTunes at all. After doing this repeatedly, I unplugged it then immediately plugged it in again before it had finished the progress bar on the "Okay to disconnect" screen, and it finally showed up in iTunes, but it gave me an error of "iPod was not properly disconnected" then "cannot sync - required disk not found" and disconnected itself again.
    I tried resetting it (menu+center buttons) while it was plugged in, and this did nothing. iTunes still didn't recognize it at all.
    About a week ago, I followed some instructions somewhere and toggled the "enable disk use" option (I usually keep it unchecked) then was able to restore it. The songs were added back in a bizarre order (not alphabetical, not chronological, songs within an album added out of order, jumping from artist to artist, etc.) and I had to sync it again for three random albums that it missed the first time, but once everything was in again it was fine. I haven't added any new songs or playlists to my iTunes library since then (just changed a few ratings and I like to keep track of play counts), but when I tried to sync it again this morning, I got exactly the same errors.
    The only difference this time is that it alerted me that one song in my library (a song I happen to like very much) could not be synced. The song still shows up on my iPod, but will not play. It still appears and plays in iTunes on the computer.
    The iPod works perfectly in day-to-day use and is a little over a year old. I take very good care of it (my previous iPod is four or five years old and still works fine) and it has never had any problems before this. It has almost 100GB worth of music (no other media, just music), which makes it pretty annoying to have to restore it more than absolutely necessary. What is going on here and is there some way to fix it that will last longer than a week?

    Hi, yeah I'm experiencing the same issue as everyone else with a 120gb iPod classic using iTunes 10.1.1 (4). Started about the time of OSX 10.6.5 update and hasn't been resolved with the OSX 10.6.6 update.
    iPod attempts to Sync but now quits without even appearing on the computer let alone iTunes.
    I have ESET security but quitting the app doesn't help.
    I also have an iPhone 3Gs and that's still syncing fine (thank heavens), via a different library.
    I've since managed to wipe the iPod clean (back to factory settings) as forced to do so by following the instructions in another post to remove the iPod Photo Cache. I then moved my iTunes folder to another directory for safe keeping.
    I set up a clean iTunes database thinking my old one might have been corrupted. To do this you open iTunes from scratch while holding down the option key and select "Create Library". iTunes then remembers the last library created whenever you open the app.
    When I am able to see the iPod summary screen (a rare occurrence now) I see that "enable disk use" is checked ok - this has been noted as a problem in previous forums. So that's not the issue.
    Actually the iPod doesn't even stay connected to my 2010 unibody MacBook Pro when the iPod is switched over to disc mode. It immediately goes into "OK to Disconnect".
    So I now have a clean iPod, and clean iTunes - all empty and essentially useless!
    Anybody out there with any ideas? Plllleeeeeeeese?

  • Hard disk Not found Error

    My computer suddenly after working properly the day before, started displaying an error that says hard disk Not found. It is not booting up to windows aince the hard disk has been disconnected in some way. It is still under the hp manufacturers warranty till auguat of 2015, so would I be able to send it in for either a device replacement or a service order to correct the error. Also there is a small crack in the body near the charging port, but that is from a drop from eariler. Please get back to me as soon as possible, my son needs to use this for his computer science class.

    You should contact HP directly to arrange to have the notebook sent in for warranty repair.

  • Satellite P200-1EE - Hard disk not found if I try to install XP

    Hi and I have a problem.
    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite P200-1EE series laptop running (of all things) Vista and nothing but problems ever since so im trying to install XP professional and overwrite Vista.
    But whenever I try to install it says "hard disk not found..... unable to access"
    I've heard of problems like this before something like a "software block protocol"
    Any suggestions?

    Hi!
    Why you dont search in the forum before you start a new topic?
    I mean you will hundreds of threads about this issue here in the forum and you will find the solution of your problem in few minutes.
    Well, the reason for this is because you need the SATA drivers before you can install Windows XP. As far as I know your notebook is equipped with an Intel chipset and so you need the Intel Storage Manager. You can integrate the drivers using an external FDD or nLite [www.nliteos.com]. Furthermore this document could be useful for you:

  • Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2

    Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2. I've erased and reformatted the drive; reconnected Time Machine(it saw it) and began a new backup. The backup starts again but fails before completing with backup drive not found error. I used the 10.7.2 combo update. Any help on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.

    Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
    After waiting since October for a fix, I have now upgraded the firmware on the Time Capsule and installed the new Airport Utility, released yesterday, and the situation is even worse.
    Up until now, the Airport Utility had an option to disconnect all drives manually and the Time Capsule would then work until the next reboot – a temporary (?) work-around.
    Now that option does not exist in the new-look Airport Utility. And the Airport Utility installation can’t be rolled back and the old utility won’t restore.
    The sparesbundle is still not accessible. Anyone worked out a work-around in the new environment yet?
    I have another Time Machine backup working fine to a trusty old Lacie Drive so erased the one on my Time Capsule to see if that works. I have renamed the Capsule and the Time Capsule Drive.  But to build another full backup will take at least two days and I shall be away from tomorrow and am reluctant to leave the Capsule and computer up and running for a week. And I’ll bet the sparsbundle will still be nowhere to be found.
    How can Apple screw up so badly when they are to become the richest company in the entire world and – soon – will have more cash in the bank than the entire United States? Can’t they afford someone who really can sort this out? Especially when a Firewire connected hard drive – my trusty and simple LaCie – works fine.
    Words, almost, fail me.

  • "Disk not found" and "No boot device found"

    Please share any knowledge that may help in overcoming this problem. Installing Solaris 7 on Dell Precision 620, 933 Mhz, PIII. At the point where all systems seem about ready to go in completing interactive install, it comes back with "Disk not Found". A friend tried to help with his limited knowldeg from having loaded Solaris software before, but was unable to ascertain the problem. set_ environment command was not recognized. If its any help the boot path read: /pci@o,o/pci_ide@1f,1/ide@1/sd@o,o : boot args kernel/unix_-r
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi ,
    I have not faced this problem on solaris 7 however I did face a problem similar to this on Solaris 8. I made a small dos partition and made it active and then started the solaris 8 installation which then went through fine.
    Hope that helps.

  • My iphone won't sync I keep getting an error that says disk not found????

    help.  My iphone will not sync with itunes.  It keeps giving me an error message that says required disk not found?? I don't know what that means and I really need to transfer purchases and sync.  I have an iphone 4 that is about 10 months old

    What does the error message say EXACTLY?

  • Required disk not found

    I am setting up my nano and it says it is unable to syn it because "the required disk not found". Anyone have any clue what that means?

    If you're using XP, the following document may be of some assistance:

    (Even though you're not getting a -50, the message you're getting can sometimes be a symptom of the same basic problem.)

  • HT201250 Time Machine backup disk not found

    I recently reconfigured my external disks, creating a 500GB oartition for Time Machine backup. thefirst time I set up Time machine to use that partition all went well. Seconed time it failed "cannot find backup disk." 
    This is a 24 inch, mid 2007 iMac OS X 10.8.2.  I am using two external backup drives - 1T LaCie with 4 partitions and a BlackX removable adaptor with a WD 1T drive plugged in.  Both are formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)  In the view below the top "Time Machine" drive at the top is a duplicate of the last drive in the list.
    If I select the top drive - I have the option to "Remove Disk" - NOT to "Use this Disk." So I have to select the bottom "Time Machine" drive.  The backup will then run once but on the second try I get "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "Time Machine". Unable to complete backup. An error occured while creating backup folder."  Whether I remove the top listed disk or not doesn't seem to matter, sometimes it finds the drive, sometimes not!
    The BlackX is a USB connected directly to the iMac.  The other partition on that drive contains movie clips and they run fine.
    There is a backup folder on the Time Machine drive with six backups - however I have to "reset" the Time Machine each time to get it to backup.  It craps out on the second try every time.  Got me buffaloed!  Any ideas?

    Assuming you have nothing on your Time Machine volume that you need, erase that volume and Verify it from Disk Utilities. Repair if necessary. Then, go into the Time Machine Preferences and Remove the selected drive to use. Now, reselect it and try a backup.

  • Disk not found - solaris 10 installation

    Hello *!
    First of all: thank you for taking the time.
    The problem: trying to install solaris 10 on a Enterprise 220R with a D1000 Storage Array attached. The configuration, as seen in OB, looks like this:
    /pci@1f,4000/scsi@2
    Target f
    Unit 0 Proc Symbios D1000
    /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3
    Target 0
    Unit 0 Disk Seagate SX318203LC
    Target 6
    Unit 0 CD Toshiba DVD-ROM
    the alias for disk is /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@0,0
    the probe list entry looks like:
    pcib-probe-list 1,3,2,4,5
    When I boot off the cd I get to the start of the solaris installation and after configuring the network parameters the insatll stops because of no disk beeing found. Now, if I insert a disk in the D1000, this one will be recognized and used as the install disk.
    I guess it has something to do with the fact, that the controller the D1000 attaches to is listed before the onboard one. So, my question: how can I tell the solaris 10 install program to search also the onboard controler? Is there an obvious parameter I overlooked?
    Thank you very much and in advance for any help on this topic!
    Best regards,
    Christian

    I think that the problem is more than likely going to be either a faulty disk, or more likely the wrong path that you have. What you can do is the following:
    1. From the ok prompt insert the solaris cd 1 of 2 and type 'boot cdrom -s'
    This will bring the system up from the CD using a memory stored kernel that is taken from the CD. Once here you can do your normal checks, format, etc, to check the status and paths for the disks.
