Dv4-2045dx Win 7 does not recognize hdd

I have a dv4-2045dx with Win 7 and a 320GB hdd. I was reading a web page when my screen went blank, tried to re-boot but got Windows Error Recovery then Windows Boot manger screen with "The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible". I moved and can't find my recovery disks, but want to avoid paying HP for more. When I slave the hdd to another Win 7 machine, Win explorer doesn't show it, and the disk management utility shows it but with an "X" and says "unreadable". When I slave it in a Linux machine, in the disk utility, I see a 1 MB partition listed as “unknown”, a 209 MB NTFS partition listed a s “SYSTEM” and flagged as “Bootable”, then my 80 GB NTFS Win 7 partition, and 240 GB NTFS file partition (after I first got it, I shrank the OS partition, and created the additional partition). Any help will be appreciated, Thanks!

I forgot to mention, I can see and access the data on all three NTFS partitions under Linux. Thanks!

Satellite C55T: Win 7 does not recognize LAN and WLan card

I have a problem.
Ive downgraded my Toshiba Satellite C55T-A5222 to Windows 7 64-bit and he didn't install many drivers.
The windows didn't recognize my network connection and he didn't install my wireless driver.
Maybe I need a chipset driver but I didn't find any drivers for windows 7.
Please help me!

If Windows 7 did not recognize the LAN and WLan card, you did not install proper drivers.
Satellite C55T-A5222 is US notebook model.
The drivers can be downloaded from this Toshiba US support page: [Satellite C55T-A5222|http://support.toshiba.com/support/modelHome?freeText=1200005866]
Here choose Drivers /& Updates and the filter by Windows 7 64bit (on the left)
Now you should get all Win 7 64bit drivers for the Satellite C55T-A5222

Satellite A205-S4777 - XP does not recognize HDD

Hi!
I recently have buyed a new Toshiba A205-S4777 satellite with Windows Vista home premium installed
and i noticed too many errors in Windows Vista and the pc is very slow so i decided to downgrade to XP
I want to install directly Windows XP but the installer does not recognise the hard drive or more exactly the controllers!
I nLited the Sata drivers in the Windows Xp Sp2 i have bought in the microsoft.com site!
Everything worked fine.
The installer recognised the Hard Drive and the installer finallased fine!
But here' s the problem when windows loads and try to switch on it gaves a kind of blue screen unreadable one!
And restarts and if you let it it does all the day the same!
I am afraid i do not nLited the correct drivers.
Is there anybody that heve downgraded this model ?
Thanx

Hi
Possibly you used not right SATA driver ?:| Who knows
The point is that there are two different Intel Matrix Storage Manger versions which support different chipsets.
I dont know what chipset your notebook supports but you should check this and should check also the Intel Storage Manger description and should check what chipsets are supported.
Additionally you should take a look here into this Toshiba doc:
[How to integrate a SATA AHCI driver in a Windows XP Setup CD|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm]

Vista PC does not recognize HDD?

Hello,
Windows Vista don't find the external HDD from Toshiba.
I find it with Paragon "Backup & Recovery" and in control panel - device manager - drives
but the HDD isn't visible in Desktop - Computer.
What can I do?
Thank You fpr answer!
Hilli

I had an similar issue with my USB flash memory stick.
The USB flash memory stick was visible on device manager but I did not appear in MY Computer.
I could solve this using following workaround:
1) start the console (back DOS box) using the command CMD (type in RUN or Search window)
2) Now type: diskpart
3) Now type: automount enable
Then exit the windows and reboot the notebook.
After new reboot try to connect the HDD once again and check if the external USB HDD would appear in My Computer

T-61 Visat Prof. 32bit does not recognize internal 1TB SATA HDD

Hi,
I just bought 1TB WD internal SATA 2.5" hard drive and connected to USB of my laptop via SATA external adaptor but my laptop does not recognize this driver.
I have Windows Vista 32bit OS.
Any advise how I can fix this? My intent is to transfer all data from internal HDD to the new HDD and then replace old HDD with new one and upgrade to Windows 7.
THanks,
Ash

There are a few problems regarding the way you are trying to do this. First is that your new drive won't be recognized by windows until it's partitioned and formatted. Also, since you're upgrading the OS, you'd be better advised to install the new drive in your laptop and install the operating system, windows will setup the new drive for you then you can connect the old one and transfer any of it's data onto the new drive. If you do it this way it should be effortless, but if you attempt the way you described you could run into problems being that you have an advanced format drive replacing traditional sata drive. Also if you allow windows to initiate and format the drive you know it will be done properly for the type of drive you have.
Another suggestion would be to have windows setup the drive with at least two primary partitions. With a drive that large it's nice to have more than one and if you ever find the operating system badly corrupted you could wipe that partition and reinstall without losing any of the data in other partition/s. You can also install multiple operating systems. I can be very handy to have a backup operating system in case something goes wrong so you can be up and running immediately upon rebooting. There is nothing more frustrating than having a non-functioning computer when you badly need to get some work done and this can allow you to continue working and worry about fixing whatever went wrong at a time of your choosing.

Webcam failure where the "device manager does not recognize the hardware"? Pavilion dv7 Win 7

I have done everything the website suggests. Nothing worked. Has anyone gotten satisfaction to the issue either by a fix or a service center repair? I have seen others with the same problem accross different operating systems.

Ha Ha. I'm replying to my own post!
Solution.... If your laptop does not recognize the built-in camera at all in the device manager and your warranty has expired or your willing to void your warranty. You can see if you have the same problem as I had. Gently pry the plastic frame around your camera and display screen apart you need to go at least half way down the sides. There is also some adhesive tape you will need to push to one side or the other. To the right of the camera there is a very small connector, it wont even look as if it is separated. Use a tweezer or small screwdriver to push the connector into the socket. This fixed my problem ...The next startup recognized the camera and has worked perfectly since. In my opinion (13yrs experience in reliability engineering semiconductor manufacturing) this is a manufacturing reliability issue either the socket cannot hold the connector in place or there is too much strain on the wiring to the connector. Good luck.

MSI x48c platinum does not recognize 2 PCIe boards

Hello,
I had the same recycling boot problem as others have noted.
It occured with the Antec Phantom 500 power supply and the Antec Signature 850.
Swtiched to a Cool Master Pro 650 and no more recyling boots.
However, I have 2 PCIe cards that this system board does not recognize in the POST (quick boot disabled) and no new hardware is found under win XP.
Boards are:
Black Magic Design Intensity (HDMI board)
http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/techspecs/
United Audio UAD-2 Quad (audio DSP)
http://www.uaudio.com/products/uad/uad2neve128/index.html
Does not matter if they are together, alone or which PCIe slot.
These bpards are needed for my work.
anybody else have baords that the x48c can't see?
These same boards are fine with other motherboards.

i just remember i had once similar problem with a sata driver. the issue is this you can not adjust everything in bios in one go and expect mobo to know about it. what i mean is this for instance you disable the raid then you save it and exit and then when it reboot you go back to bios and reset another another parameter, you save and exit and on reboot you go back to bios and reset another parameter. i got round the prob that way and it worked and mobo saw the sata HDD. give this a shoot good luck and finally make sure raid is disabled
this is what i would do
1- make sure the jumper setting on your IDE Hdd is correct (Y may have to try this twice as there are two different setting on jumper setting for Master)
2- connect the sata HDD
3-click on power
4-go to bios and disable raid save exit
5-on reboot go back to bios
6--on first option click on it then you should see all devices that can be seen by mobo if you do not see sata HDD you have to click on enable for the auto to see the device once it sees the device save and exit. REMEMBER THE JUMPER SETTING ON IDE HDD CAN CAUSE PROB . SO try the other jumper setting for master, repeat this procedure once more hopefully you get it right

I have Photoshop CS3 which I have used successfully for a number of years. I now shoot pics with a Nikon DSLR D7100. When I try to open NEF files the following flag appears: "Could not complete your request because PS does not recognize this file". What do I need to do to open my NEF files?? Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply, CP
FYI, the file is a photographic panorama based on several .CR2 photos taken in July, 2012 and processed in CS5's camera RAW/Photoshop. Beyond the metadata, here are no fonts or text in the file.
1. I changed Maximize ...File Capability from "Never" to "Always" and the flattened file saved and loaded OK, though I can't figure why given Adobe's description of this option. "If you work with PSD and PSB files in older versions of Photoshop or applications that don’t support layers, you can add a flattened version of the image to the saved file...". The file saved in this manner is ~8% larger and is not my preference as a routine since I've TB's of photo files. By the way, out of thousands of .psd/.psb files, the one being discussed is the first to give me the error.
2. I've tried saving/reloading the file on another computer with Win XP Sp3/CS5...again with Maximize Capability OFF. Same problem. Turn ON Maximize Capability and it works. As with the Win 8 machine, Bridge could neither create a thumbnail or read Metadata.
3. I've purged the Bridge Cache, made sure there were no old PS page files, reset PS preferences, and disabled my 2 plugins with no change in the problem. Windows and Adobe progs are all updated. Saving to a different HDD has no effect.
The problem occurs on 2 computers (Win XP/Win 8), two versioins of Photoshop (CS5/CS6), and "Maximize" On/Off togles the problem. My guess it is a bug in PSD processing routines.
If I can't find a fix, will keep with Maximize ON and deal with the larger files that result...the cost of insurance, I suppose.
Thanks again

T60 does not recognizes new HD

I installed the new HD in the Notebook Lenovo T60 and it does not recognize. Inslalled in other machine and it recognizes that HD, installed the old HD in the Lenovo T60 and it recognizes. Why?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Size has nothing to do with it, T60 is quite capable of accepting drives bigger than 200GB.
Which version of Windows are you trying to install? the CD/DVD can be bad. The HDD seems OK as linux was able to recognize it, I'm thinking perhaps while exiting the BIOS you forget to save the settings, double check this.
What really happens when you boot with Windows disc with the drive in? does the setup even run? does the setup say it can't find the drive? do you get any error message or just a blank screen? further, what's the make of the drive? is it compatible with T60? provide us with full model number please!
Keep us posted.

Windows Media Player does not recognize new downloaded songs

I have a Pavilion a4310f Prod Nr: AY014AA-ABA running Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
I just discovered that Windows Media Player does not recognize songs I recently downloaded from the Wal-Mart Music Download Site. The songs can be seen in the Music Library in a folder named "Downloads" and I can open each song and it will play when double clicked. The problem is that I can not create a playlist containing the new songs and burn a copy of the playlist because the songs are not listed in the Media Player library no matter hot it is sorted (Artist, Album, Genre, etc).
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Mitch

You might also want to consider moving the songs to my Music or the folder you have WMP set as your Music folder. You can find/change that folder in WMP by going to File ---> Manage Libraries
Launch WMP ----> Tools ----> Options --->Privacy and be sure that the Display information from the internet box is checked.

I was hoping it would be something like a USB device conflict, but now the shuffle is the only thing connected...
This article was one of the ones you linked to above in your initial post
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears? That appears to be your situation.
Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again. If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following. Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked. If so, check it and Apply the change. See if that makes any difference.
(If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change. Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
NOTE: When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause.

Lightroom does not recognize the raw format of files loading from my Nikon AW1 and loads them as jpegs. I know there are updates that would allow this camera to be recognized as shooting raw but I haven't been able to work it out. Any help out there?
