G505s - Windows 7 Installation hard disk drivers

I have purchased Lenovo Essential G505s(59-379862) (APU Quad Core A8 5550M- 8GB RAM- 1TB HDD- 15.6 Inches- DOS- 2.5GB Graph).I am trying to install windows 7, but it gets stuck at "select driver for installation".I cannot skip this screen. I can see the hard disk in the command prompt (via diskpart also). But unable to proceed with the installation since it is not shown.
please help.
Thanks

hi rahul_kamtane,
In addition to what Solid_Cruver have suggested, can you try the following:
1. Under diskpart, can you type the following:
list disk
sel disk 0 (where disk 0 is the HDD)
clean (this deletes all partitions and re-initializes the disks)
exit
2, When done, reboot the machine, boot from the Windows 7 installer and observe.
If the problem remains:
1. Are you using a bootable Windows 7 USB flashdrive to install Windows 7 / Windows 7 SP1 ?
2. If you're using a Windows 7 USB installer, have you tried both USB 3.0 / USB 2.0 ports?
Let me know how it goes.

Sata or hard disk drivers to install windows 7 in Hp Pavilion 15-b101sd

I didn't see the steps I had to do to install windows 7 in the computer, so I formated the hard disk and I cleaned it.
But when I try to install windows 7, the installation program ask me about the driver of the hard disk which I haven't. I've tried to find it, but anyone of the drivers I found it doesn't work and I can't pass the page of the driver of hard disk installation.
Do you have that driver? or what is the solution to install the win7?
Thank you so much!

Hi:
If you are installing W7 from a USB flash drive, make sure you have the flash drive plugged into the USB 2 port (on left side) your notebook has.
These should be the sata drivers you probably need to install if Windows still asks for disk drivers...
I have zipped them up and attached them under Attachments below.

Windows Detected a hard disk problem Toshiba Satellite L505-S5988

It has been about 2 months since I had my new laptop and first I coudnt get the flash cards to work so I finally fixed that and now everytime I start windows an error message comes up and keeps coming up every 10 minutes saying:
Windows detected a hard disk problem
Back up your files immediately to prevent information loss, then contact computer manufacturer to determine if you need to repair or replace the disk.
-> Start the back u process
-> Ask me again later
Show details
Which disk is failing?
The following hard disk are reporting failure:
Disk Name: Toshiba MK3263GSX
Volume: C:\
Please tell me how I can fix this because I called Toshiba support and the guy couldnt even figure out the drivers name for flash card.
Toshiba Satellite L505-S5988
Thanks

your hard drive is failing. you need to do what it says. back up everything and then either call toshiba to have it replaced under warranty or buy a new one and change it yourself. this is where all of your info and files are saved so if it fails without you backing it up you lose everything.

Window detected a hard disk Problem on my Satellite L505-S5988

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L505-S5988 with window 7 Home Premium 09 Service pack 1. It is 2+ years old and my hard drive is Toshiba MK3263GSX 287GB. Lately, I got a window warning message as “ Windows detected a hard disk Problem. Back up your files immediately to prevent information loss, and then contact the computer manufacturer to determine if you need to repair or place the disk….. The following hard disks are reporting failure: Disk Name: TOSHIBA MK3263GSX Volume: C:\ “.
Since then, I have imaged my laptop and run malware/spyware softwares, and it looks like my computer is clean. The laptop device manager said my hard drive is working properly. However the warning keeps pops up. I opened Administrative Event Viewer and found the below warning:
“Log Name: System, Source: Disk, Event ID: 52.
The driver has detected that device \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 has predicted that it will fail. Immediately back up your data and replace your hard disk drive. A failure may be imminent.”
EventData
\Device\Harddisk0\DR0
0E00030001000000000000003400048002000000000000000000000000112
D000000000000000000000000
Besides this warning, there are also other errors and warnings back to years ago, such as AFS failed to load, print service… Despite all these errors and warnings, my laptop seems to be running OK. I was not prevented from doing anything that I usually do.
Questions:
Is there a tool I can run to verify that my hard drive is truly bad?
Can any tool further identify where?
Can it be repaired? Reformat? Or I have to replace with a new one?
What options I have if I have to replace with a new one?
What is average cost of it?
Any help will be highly appreciated.

..the warning keeps pops up.
That's good enough for me. I would replace the disk.
You can verify it with the free trial of HD Tune.

Windows 7 on MacBook Pro Retina late 2013. Showing popup window as "Windows detected a hard disk problem"

I have installed Windows 7 64 bit version in my MacBook Pro Retina(13") late 2013 model . It was working fine from last 8 months but recently popup window showing as "Windows detected a hard disk problem" once login. Please check the following image.
I have contacted Apple Support team. They have tested the hard disk while booting from Mac OS and all the reports showing as hard disk is fine. Then I thought might be it was some virus and removed the Bootcamp partition and re-installed Windows 7 Operating System. But once updated Windows 7 with latest updates. This message showing again.
Would you please help me out to fix this issue. Anybody faced similar issue?

No I think that all drive are really on failure
I've boot with an ubuntu livecd and smartmontools see also the failure.

When I use the Mac disk tools from the startup menu, it see also the problem.
Now the big question is : Why I've this type of issue with 2 MBA and 1 Macbook pro 15".
Their configurations are the same : windows 7 with truecrypt.
Maybe Windows drastically reduces the lifetime of the Apple SSD drive.
The 3 Mac are used for less than 6 month !!!!

MSI B85M-G43 can't install Windows 7. Hard disk not detected.

Hi,
I just built a new computer for the first time. I followed the instructions and did everything correctly. but am unable to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. Hard disk isn't always detected during the installation.
But when it appeared in the "Where do you want to install Windows" list along with system, I tried to format the hard disk and got a message "Failed to format the select partition. [Error 0x80070057]."
Then I restarted the computer, the hard disk no longer displayed in the list, so I put motherboard driver disc and clicked on Load Driver and opened Storage\Intel\PCH_12.0\f6flpy-x64. It loaded, then I got a message saying "To continue installation, use the Load Driver option to install 32-bit and signed 64-bit drivers. Installing an unsigned 64-bit device driver is not supported and might result in an unusable Windows installation."
I restarted again and disabled Driver Signature Enforcement, but it didn't help. I still got the same message.
In the computer case I have these devices:
- MSI B85M-G43, Socket-1150
- Intel Core i5-4430 Processor
- Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 8GB
- MSI GeForce GTX 650Ti BOOST 1GB
- Cooler Master GX 550W PSU
- WD Desktop Green 1TB
- SuperMulti 16X DVD(+/-)R/RW 12X RAM (+/-)R DL LightScribe SATA drive
Everything is plugged in correctly. Hard disk connector plugged in SATA 1 and DVD -> SATA 2.
The installation is pretty slow, regardless if i install it via USB or x16 DVD. All except DVD and hard disk are disabled. It's also worth to mention that even DVD and USB aren't always detected in the click BIOS.
So I'm wondering if anyone here can help me? Thanks

Hi and
1: What BIOS version you have? .. Have you tryed to downgrade/upgrade it already?
2: Have you tryed it in those SATA 2 ports? ...is it same strory?
- On SATA there aint any master or Slave like on IDE so if you are under same controller it dosent mutter what port you use on what device.
Note: SATA 3 Ports are faster then SATA2 ports, but even SATA 1 can handel your DVD or HDD. So no lose if you need to use SATA 2 ports.
Hope this get you foward! Cheers Mummy

Mac Pro Notebook to see, read & write to PC Windows 7 External Hard Disk NTFS

Hi
I have a Windows 7 PC desktop with an external hard disk coonected to it by USB formatted as NTFS. Is is connected by cable to a wireless router.
I now also have a Macbook Pro.
I would like to work on jpg and Raw files on the External Hard Disk both via the desktop (as I currently do) and also now via the Macbook using Photoshop Elements which exists on both.
Is there a way that the Macbook can read the external drive and read and write the same files as the pc without purchasing a Macdrive and reformatting the External Drive?
Thank you
Regards
CGJ

Hi everyone
I've managed to work out how to share my desktop and the external drive attached to it via wireless so my Macbook Pro can see, open, and edit and save photo files via Photoshop Elements.
I can also then view and edit them through the Windows PC - though they say some properties are missing this I can live with.
Therefore no re-formatting needed, and no downloads either.
Many thanks
Regards

Cannot Open File explorer, control panel, basically windows linking to hard disk

I cannot open file explorer or control panel, and I have difficulty contacting ppl at microsoft because the site insist I give a product ID. My windows is pre-installed in my hard disk. sigh. can anyone help?

Hi AsusS550C user,
What is your current situation?
Have you tried the suggestions provided by the others?
In addition to the above suggestions, if we could access PC settings, we could take a PC refresh or a system restore.

Further, if issue still insists, take a try with the following command:

Window for my hard disk looks entirely different suddenly/icons gone!

When I usually open the icon on my desktop for my hard disk (the internal hard disk), on the left-hand side is usually the standard array of icons for pictures, movies, etc. etc. (and when I open other folder icons on my desktop, I still see those same items - nothing has changed there). But when I now open the icon of the internal hard disk, all of those usual items (and the whole look and feel of the window) has changed. The only icons on the left side are network, the hard disk icon itself, and the icon for my MobileMe "air" disk (I think it's called iDisk - whatever... you probably know what I'm talking about).
I can't figure out what happened?! I ran disk utility and it supposedly did repairs that were necessary on my system. I rebooted and restarted and even shut down entirely and then restarted again. I really miss that usual interface giving me all of those options so easily available. What's up here and how do I fix????!!

Select Preferences from the Finder's menu, click on the Sidebar tab. Be sure what you want displayed is checked.

How to search files on a windows configured external hard disk on macbook air

I am trying to search files on my passport Ultra Western Digital, which is configured for windows and has read only permissions for my macbook air, i am unable to instant search results through finder or spotlight. Is there a way to search them?

Well, to clarify:
I want to find all user text files and mail messages on a Time Machine backup disk that contain the word "escalator".
By user files I mean those in
/Volumes/Time Machine Backups/Backups.backupdb/<username>iMac/*/Macintosh HD/Users
and subdirectories thereof.
I was trying to use the find command, but it was taking a very long time, so I aborted it. I then realized that most of the files have many hard links, and therefore will be searched many times. That, of course, is a great waste.
Is there some way to search each file only once?
Thanks.

Can't write to a Windows formatted external hard disk

I moved the Windows XP formatted external hard disc from the Windows machine to the Imac. I can read files on the hard disc, can write from the external to the Mac, and can work with the files once they are on the Mac. But I cannot write to the external. I lack permission, the error message says.
I talked with Apple via my AppleCare arrangement. They tell me I will have to reformat the disc for the Mac before I can write to it.
The problem with the recommendation is that that disc, 160 gb, is over three-quarters filled with backup files for the home network. I can't afford to lose them.
The puzzle is that the network sharing is uneven. So I'm led to think there is some problem with my setup. From the Mac, I can read and write to two Windows computers and the internal hard disc, the C drive, of the third. When the external hard disc was attached to that third computer, I was never able to see it from the Mac.
None of the Windows machines can see the Mac.
Any suggestions?

When you go over a network, the Mac doesn't have to worry about writing to the destination disk, it just sends the appropriate TCP/IP packets and lets the PC that is serving the disk worry about writing to the disk. When the disk is connected directly, then the Mac has to know all about writing to that file system.
It does seem to me that if Apple could read from the drive, they should be able to write to it, but apparently that was more complicated and they didn't implement it.
As for the windows boxen not being able to see the Mac... have you considered installing Bonjour for Windows onto the PCs? My wife has PCs and I have Macs, but we're all networked together. We were having some networking issues, trying to share printers. So I had her install Bonjour on one of her boxes. Suddenly, all our networking problems went away. She could see my printers, and all my drive shares.
So you might want to think about turning thinga around and serving off of the Mac.

HARD DISK DRIVER ISSUES WHILE INSTALLING WINDOWS 8

I am trying to install windows 8 on my PC, but it is asking for hard drive drivers. I have installed windows 8 before with no issues on the same PC with same configuration, but now I am facing these driver issues. Currently I am running Win7 as i cannot
reinstall Win8.
Config:
Gigabyte Motherboard 945G with Intel Core2duo8400 3ghz,
Intel(R) 82801G(ICH7) FAMILY CHIP SET,
4gb Ram, Nvidia graphic card, Seagate hard disk 160Gb.

Hi,
I doubt that the hard drive is either a SATA drive or in a RAID setup, you might need to install RAID controller drivers or SATA driver during the installation.
I also suggest you refer to the following link and check if it can give some hints.

Windows 10 Hard Disk Pausing on Startup

Hi I upgraded from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 10 Home yesterday using Windows Update. Now I notice that whenever I start up the computer, the hard disk pauses for 10 seconds during startup. I have deleted the old Windows 7 installation using Disk Cleanup. I have also unchecked "Time to display list of operating systems" and "Time to display list of recovery options". These settings can be found in "This PC" (right click)->Properties->Advanced System Settings->Advanced->Startup and Recovery. I also want to know whether it is safe to delete the recovery and hp_tools partitions and extend c: as I suspect that the pause is due to its presence. Thanks in advance for your reply. VS

I never found a solution. I think the motherboard was fried. It wouldn't recognize any hard drive, or even the os I had installed on a flash drive, all of which worked in other places. Good luck.
