Hard disk partition not showing up during window 7 install

STOP - 0x00000116 error . I
want to install fresh OS from usb stick but the hard disk partition is not showing up. Only USB stick is getting detected.
Please help .. I have an interview and I need to fix this issue asap.

Hi there,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that your hard drive is not showing up, presumably as a bootable partition. I am happy to help, but I need a bit more clarification of your problem. You mention a 0x00000116 error as well, which is normally part of a Blue Screen of Death. Does this happen regularly as well, or is that the real complaint, that you are getting the 0x code and a BLue Screen on startup?
That particular code is generally associated with a video driver problem.
Is the hard drive you are trying to install to, a new replacement hard drive or the original hard drive?
If you try to boot up the system, what error do you see?
Are there any repeating flashing LED patterns, or beeping patterns?
Assuming this is your original installed hard drive, did you try the recovery manager for the drive?

External hard disk does not show in finder

WD usb external hard disk does not appear in finder. Disk utility sees it and will mount/unmount and eject. I ran repair disk util. and all is well but still does not appear in finder

Hey Hatter, Thanx for the input.
Among other things I tried was a terminal routine someone suggested with no luck and new drivers/firmware for the drive, again, no luck.
I still don't know for sure what caused my problem, but I re-partitioned the drive and re-formatted it and that seemed to solve the provlem. Sadly, I lost all my info that was backed up on that particular drive but hopefully it won't come back to bite me later.
Cheers!!

10.2.8 installation and external hard disk does not show on desktop

I just reinstalled OS X 10.2 (by erasing the hard disk during installation) and upgraded with the Combo pack to 10.2.8 . This is an iMac G4 1GHz with a 17-inch display. I tried connecting a Western Digital MyBook with 500Gb through both the USB port and through FireWire. In both cases the hard drive does not appear on the desktop BUT does appear in the Disk Utility program and in the System Information window. Finder, therefore, doesn't display the drive. The MyBook drive is formatted to Windows FAT 32. Before I reinstalled OS X 10.2.8, this machine was running 10.3.9 and the drive did appear (I'm still searching for the 10.3 disk).
Is this an issue with OS X 10.2.8? Given the drive is detected by the System Information section and by the Disk Utility, is there a way of forcing Finder to display it (and allow access)?

Sometimes I have found that I have to turn of the ext. hd and then reconnect the firewire cables. there is a cylinder that is an inch away from one of the firewire plugs, which should be connected toward the tower and the other firewire plug toward the ext. hd. have patience, sometimes it will show up. also a restart maybe...

USB Hard Disk does not show up

If I open Airport Utility and go to Base Station-->Manual Setup-->Disks, I can see my Maxtor Hard Drive. However, I do not see it on my desktop or in the Airport Disk Utility. Is there something I need to do to access the hard disk? I gave it a password during the initial setup, but I cannot even see the drive anywhere except in Airport Utility.

Yes I did, but the problem was actually just solved by simply shutting my MBP down and restarting. For some reason it wasn't showing up, but now it does. Thanks for the help though. I do appreciate it.

My Macbook Pro mid 2012 is not reading/connecting to my (working)external hard disk(also not showing in disk utility)

I connected my 500GB Storjet external hard drive to my mac(Mountain Lion) http://in.transcend-info.com/products/Catlist.asp?modno=325 but it is not connecting to it. Disk Utility is also not showing it. and the hard disk is working... My PS3, My Sony TV and my other laptop(win7) is detecting it... Also whenever it gets connected a blue light blinks, but It doesnt for mac. I have tried reformatting to both FAT32 and NTFS... Please help..
Also I sorta screwed my Mac so I had to do the internet recovery thing and only after that such problems occured, it was working fine before. So it installed Lion first and then Mountain Lion. It wasn't working on any of the OS.

Power down the Mac, Full power off. Connect the drive using the Y cable and then turn the Mac back on.
If it still doesn't show in at least Disk Utility then start checking your USB ports to see if both are working properly. Just plug in a USB thumb drive and that should show in both Finder and Disk Utility. If one of the ports isn't seeing the thumb drive then that port is bad and the system needs to be services by Apple.

Hard disk does not show in finder

WE had a system failure with our server instance a month back and since then, one of my internal HD's will not show in finder. It's also causing carbon copy pro to fail when trying to find it. I have verified it can be seen in the disk utility and from a terminal prompt. I rant this to confirm:
{ diskutil list; echo; diskutil cs list; } | open -f -a TextEdit
No matter what I do, i cannot see it. Verify and repair in disk util come up saying it's okay. I have selected show HDD's in finder preferences. A possibly related side effect is that my users, who can browse this over the network, cannot search in the directory.
Any help you can lend would be helpful.

Please help! My LG external hard disk is not showing in finder and trouble using disk utility

I used my LG external HDD disk drive on my mac a couple of times but now it's not being recognised by my mac anymore and doesn't show up on finder.
I found the disk in disk utility and when i verified it, it said:

I tried several other times to repair it by clicking repair but the same information kept popping up.
I'm also unable to erase or partition the disk. I have no important files on it so I don't mind deleting them all but i'm unable to do so using disk utility. Please advice on what to do or the steps to take from here. Thanks

Time Capsule Hard Drive not showing up in Windows machine

I have Time Capsule showing up perfectly on my two Macooks, but my windows laptop from work cannot see the Time Capsule hard drive at all. I have successfully logged onto Time Capsule as a wireless network and am able to use the Internet fine, but I still can't see time capsule anywhere in Windows Explorer or my network places?
I turned off Windows firewall and re-install Bonjour for Windows, but that didn't help either. I thought Time Capsule was just supposed to show up in my system after I access the network? Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I set up my TC and installed Airport Utility on two PCs running Windows XP. On the first machine, the hard disk didn't show up, but on the second PC it showed up automatically mapped to Z:\. To fix this problem, I just opened the Airport Utility on the problem PC and looked up the IP address of the TC. I typed in the URL based on the IP address and it came up fine as \\10.0.0.1 showing another folder called 'Time Capsule'. You can easily map a drive to this folder by going to the start menu, right-click on My Computer, and select map network drive.

Hi all,
Today I was checking the server and I find that C: disk is not showing Under "My computer" whereas it is showing under disk management and its status is okay. Please tell what the problem and how I resolve that issue? Because server is in production and we can't afford sudden downtime.

I have just installed a new hard drive in my imac intel 20" (2006) and now the hard drive does not show up in the 'select destinations' folder of the install program.

I have just installed a new hard drive in my imac intel 20" (2006) and upgraded the memory and now the hard drive does not show up in the 'select destinations' folder of the install program. I can see the hard drive in the disk utilities window however it wont let me do anything.
It is a seagate 1TB SATA II drive however it is displaying it as a 7.3 TB.
If anyone has any suggestions I would be happy to hear them.
I have tried to erase and partition and get the same error message each time, 'Input/Output error'.
I have tried starting the thing with the install disk which is Mac OS X (Tiger?) which came with the computer. No good.
Anyone?

Thats correct. I can see it in the list however when I attempt to erase it or partition it it's like it's not being found or recognised and it throws up the input/output error message. I am pretty sure that the sensor it attached correctly and it is a SATA drive. I can see all the infor regarding the drive when disk utility is open and it all looks good but I cant access it or do anything with it. It's taunting me!
The install disk is in the drive and the install program runs right up to the point where you have to select the location for the install and there is just nothing in the box where you have to select the hard drive icon.
I have my suspiscions about the drive but any help would be appreciated.

Hard disk Partition is suddenly lost

I am using T500 with Windows 7 installed on it.
Facing the issue of all the partitions except C: getting lost suddenly along with all the data. This is happening the second time in a week. I cannot see the partitions in the explorer and even the disk management utility shows everything apart from C: as free space.
Any help on why this is happening would be appreciated. It is frustrating as I not only lose my data but have to spend valuable time to restore my environ for further work.

Bootcamp partition not showing at startup

Hey guys,
I upgraded my macbook pro to Lion last week and now I can't install Windows on my computer with Bootcamp. I can still partition through Bootcamp assistant, and in Finder it shows the Bootcamp device. However, when I try to install Windows by holding Option during startup, the Bootcamp disk is not showing up. There are only three options: Mac, Recovery, and Windows (disk). If I choose the Windows disk, it tells me there's no bootable device.
Also, in Startup Disk in System Preference there's no Bootcamp option.
Is the Recovery Disk screwing it up? Can anyone help me please?
Thanks.

Solved.
I just installed clean BOOTCAMP using Bootcamp Assiastent, that causes windows data loss.
Anyway, after formating bootcamp, i found a solution.
get iPartition and mark bootcamp partition "show in windows" option.
i regret reinstalling windows

Hard drive (internal) not showing up on desktop

One of my internal hard drives is not showing up on the desktop. (Soft freeze after waking from sleep mode. I pushed the reset button on the front of the tower. Haven't seen anything on that hard drive since. I haven't been able to access it since.)
Hard drive shows up in disk utility but I can't mount it. Looks something like this:
74.5 GB WDC WD800JB-00CRA1
There is nothing below that. (Normally indented below is the name ie. Macintosh HD)
I cannot verify or repair disk or disk permissions. I cannot mount it. All these options are grayed out. I took it to the Apple store genius bar. They think the disk is fine but "the partition is lost." (I didn't partition the hard drive. Don't really understand what that means.) I've tried Data Rescue (369 hours remaining) nothing is being recovered.
I've tried Disk Warrior. In the "Hardware" option I can choose the disk and run a test. It says it is fine. ("This hard drive's built-in S.M.A.R.T. diagnostics indicate the drive is functioning normally. Test complete") In the "Directory" option the disk doesn't show up. So I can't rebuild the directory.
What else can I do?
G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

The Apple System Profiler shows all the correct info except the name is "unknown." The only 2 places that seem wrong are the desktop - no hard drive, and in Disk Utility. I don't know what it's called, but the line directly under the listed hard drive in Disk Utility (74.5 GB WDC WD800JB-00CRA1) should have the name of the hard drive (Macintosh HD) listed but it does not. It should look like this but with an icon of a hard drive in front of each line:
74.5 GB WDC WD800JB-00CRA1
Macintosh HD
The second line (Macintosh HD) is not there. The other hard drives have their names listed. Apple seems to think this is a problem but other than running Data Rescue and Disk Warrior (neither of which did anything) they have not given me any other suggestions.
The computer knows the hard drive is there but it won't let me access it. I have done, tried, and checked all the easy stuff. (Cables, any and every type of connection, restarting holding down option + apple + F + O and all the other restart variations with and without the OSX CD, and running "rescue" programs.) Nothing has worked. Short of an exorcism, I'm out of ideas.

My external hard drive does not show up on my desktop

My external hard drive does not show up on my dest top but, does shows in my Windows (vmware fusion) end although I can't see it ob my desktop but, I can eject it properly like any external drive. I have connected it to my windows and ejected properly (per the suggestion of someone on this forum) but, it still doesn't show on my Mac. I see the blue light and hear it running though. I have looked for it in disk utility but, still can find it. I have changed the cable and it still did not show on my Mac. I connected another external drive and that showed up on my desktop.Any help????

if it is NTFS then you need Paragon Software NTFS for Mac.
NTFS volumes are suppose to be read only but in practice external drives don't always mount or work.
If it is not NTFS then you need more details. Need more anyway.
PS: this is not a MacBook area, it is Mac 65lbs tower related forum.

The hard disk can not be split because some files can not be moved

Prerequisites: Computer has had a partition installed in bootcamp with a non-complete Windows XP installation
Started by uninstalling the old windows and restore the partition.
Got error on disk so it was cooked by the Lions recovery and was OK
Trying to re-install Windows, but get the same problems that
"The hard disk can not be split because some files can not be moved"

Problem solved by reducing the size of the windows partition to 40GB (from 50GB).
I had a quit full disk so perhaps that influenced, not i have about 43GB left for mac and 40GB for windows
