HP 8530w - SSD not detected

Hello,
Recently I managed to get an SSD from work, namely the A-Data S596 (500 SERIES).
When putting it into my HP Elitebook 8530w, the disk was not detected.
I have already upgraded the BIOS to the newest version.
The SSD's firmware has also recently been upgraded to the newest.
After some googling, I read the device mode could matter.
The disk was not detected using AHCI, IDE or RAID.
Any other ideas to make it work?
Thank you in advance.

Same problem here with a Samsung SSD (MMCRE28G8MXP, Lenovo OEM). The disk works fine in three other devices but is not detected by the 8530w BIOS. The BIOS and SSD firmware are current and the SATA Device Mode setting has no effect. I was wondering whether there might be a tool to set the mode of the SSD but couldn't find anything.
Any ideas??

OCZ Summit 60gb ssd not detected

Hi all,
I just upgraded my 13.3 2.53 mpb's default 250gb hdd to the ocz summit 60gb ssd. I was able to install snow leopard using the leopard disk and snow leopard upgrade disk. I subsequently installed win xp pro sp3 on boot camp. The ssd is evenly partitioned between osx and windows. After installing win xp, I did not tinker with startup disk settings. I was working on a document in windows and when I returned a hour later, the mbp is showing 'a flashing question mark folder'. I followed the steps described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440 Using disk utility from my osx install cd, I could see that the ssd is not detected, only the dvd drive is detected. I reopened the mbp and confirmed that the sata connection is secure. On a side note, I put the old 250gb hdd into an external enclosure (which has a time machine backup), it was detected by osx install cd.
Next I'll swap the ssd into the external enclosure and see if its detectable.
Thanks in advance.

So exactly what is your question?
Assuming you are asking what happened to your SSD, you may have to roll back your EFI 1.7 firmware to EFI 1.6 for the SSD to work internally in the computer. I had to in my MBP.

SSD not detected in MSI bios?

So i have a corsair force lx SSD and it seems to be not detected on the bios. This SSD does have an OS in it and my pc does boot. but sometimes when i turn on my pc it gives the "9C" error i believe. after i did some research hat code means that it is searching for a bootable USB or something similar. So itry to move the SSD to first boot priority but the SSD is not even an option. It is detected, the mobo sees it in board explorer and all but it is not seen on the "boot priority"
I do have an HDD, Optical Drive and the SSD plugged in. But the SSD is in sata port 6. does plugging it farther down the sata port effect its "detectedness"? Should i move it down to sata port 1 or sata port 2?
Sorry if my grammar/sentence structure and all seems messed up. I am in a bit of hurry while typing this thread.
PC Specs:
CPU: fx8350 stock speed
GPU: XFX r9 280x stock speed
MOBO: MSI 970 Gaming
HDD: 1TB Seagate
SSD: Corsair 128GB LX

Which SATA port is the SSD plugged into? Make sure it is into #1 on the motherboard so it's detected as #1. Otherwise some play within BIoS is required to get it up.
The SSD is plugged into sata port 6.
My HDD is plugged into sata port 1
Optical drive is plugged into sata port 2
I will swap my SSD and HDD port and see if it will show up on the boot priority

ExpressCard SSD not detected by Windows 7

I've got Windows 7 RC 64-bit installed on a 2.53 GHz MacBook Pro (dual boot using Boot Camp) with an ExpressCard slot. I also got a FileMate SolidGO 3FMS4D48M-WR 48GB ExpressCard SSD; the drive works beautifully under OS X, but is not recognized at all by Windows 7 when it's in the ExpressCard slot. In Device Manager, the yellow caution icon appears in front of the Standard ACHI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers. The drive does not show under Disk drives or in Disk Manager. The corresponding Device Status message is: "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use (Code 12). If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system."
The drive is recognized as SATA under Mac OS X and also works fine in Windows when plugged into a USB port instead of the ExpressCard slot (at which point it is not treated as SATA, but USB). I've tried the latest Boot Camp drivers, but that has no effect. Any suggestions?

Hi
If the device is not visible in device manager, not even as an unknown device, then this means that the device does not exist or has not been detected by BIOS.
Usually the infrared receiver should be visible in device manager under:
Human interface devices - > SMSCIR infrared receiver
In System devices you should see the Consumer IR Device.
Be sure that you enabled the option sow hidden devices in device manager maybe then you could see this
Please also check the BIOS
Im not quite sure if the infrared device option would be listed in BIOS but you should check it

External SSD not detected!

Hi,
I'm running Mac OS X Lion (latest version) on a MacBook Pro mid-2010 model. OS X Lion was installed via recovery tools a few days ago.
Today I plugged in a brand new Crucial M4 SSD via USB and it got detected. I restarted the laptop in recovery mode using cmd + R and chose to install Lion on the external SSD. For this I first had to partition the SSD before it showed up as a valid drive where Lion could be installed.
The installation went almost to the end, but then stopped rather strangely for a very long time. So I decided to cancel the installation and restarted the laptop normally. Since then the Crucial M4 SSD is not being detected at all (doesn't even show up in Disk Utility).
Can anyone help me here? What can I do to make it show up?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks. But I don't have access to another computer or another enclosure. The enclosure I have has an in-built USB cable.
The SSD DID get recognised and I almost installed Lion on it completely, but then what I said above happened.
Is there any other alternative?
Cheers.

SSD Not Detected

Windows 7 32 bit
HP Pavilion dv6700 laptop from 2008
Sorry for the obscure title, but it's a little hard to explain in a few words.
Okay, so I installed Windows 7 on my new PT64GS25SSDR ~ Patriot Torqx TRB. It worked fine. I booted into Windows and everything. Then I go to restart, uh oh, operating system not found! Okay, load up the Windows disc, oh, it can't find Windows 7 on my computer! Eventually, with enough CTRL ALT DELing at the Operating System Not Found prompt, it boots into Windows just fine.
So basically here's the issue: the drive isn't regconized when turning on the computer from a cold start, or restarting (and I can't use Sleep anymore either as it tries to load the hard drive, can't, then just BSOD's).
The only way around this, is taking the drive out and putting it back in. Any time I do this, it boots just fine.
Though like I said, sometimes... I can get it to boot after CTRL ALT DELing many many times at the Operating System Not Found prompt. Thankfully I don't restart or shutdown often, so this is a minor inconvenience, but still... I'd rather it didn't happen at all. I'm using the adapter that came with my computer which was attached to my traditional hard drive ( https://www.excelcomputerinc.com/laptopkingstore/product.asp?intProdID=819&intcatalogID=[adapter]&in... ). Any help to resolve this issue is most appreciated!

I have the same problem with Intel Solid State 80GB SATA drive. I installed Linux from the CD-ROM without any problems but the laptop does not want to boot from the drive.
It seems like HP did not test these laptops with solid state drives yet and there is an incompatibility
Try to go to BIOS setup during booting to check if the drive is displayed, if it is then you may be able to change the settings somehow. The instructions for my SSD installaiton specifiy to change to auto detect, but my BIOS does not provide any such options, this is catch 22

SSD not detected for mac os x re-installation

I recently bought a Macbook Pro 15" retina display with 512 SSD. It came with Mac OS X Lion 10.7 so I upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.3 which was fine for one or two days when it stop working, showing a white screen with a grey folder and a question mark in the center. Then I had to follow the procedures to reboot or reinstall the MacOS. Using Internet recovery. Although I got the software, after accepting the Mac OS X Lion installation, the next screen is not showing the SSD to install it. I checked with Disk Utilities and see no disk to install either. Does this means that the SSD is failling? How can I continue with the installation?

Given the cost of the computer and the fact that it is probably not yet a year old, take it to an Apple Store or an authorized Apple Service Provider and let them deal with it under warranty!
Hint: IIRC, it needed a special version of Lion to work with the Retina's hardware.
Edit. Hint #2: given this unsavory experience, consider the convenience of having the computer protected from these kinds of failures for an additional 2 years by purchasing AppleCare. In a user-unserviceable platform such as this, I feel this is indispensable if you plan on keeping the thing for more than a year.

The problem is similar with ubunto, kubuntu, .... the drive is detected with the BIOS but not for the OS.
any help?
Thanks

Hi
Did you solve this issue?
Could you install the Windows 8.1 system on this SSD drive?
I think the additional driver installation while setup procedure isnt necessary since Win 8.1 should already contain the essential drivers.
From my point of few there could be an compatibility issue (maybe SSD firmware update would solve this).
How about the usage of other SSD drives? Do you have the same problem using other SSD drives from other manufactures?
Feedback would be appreciated.

MSI GT70 Secondary Drive/750gb not detected while SSD in Raid !!

Long story short , my system crashed randomly for the first time ever (I left the room came back and the system had crashed) , then I got the raid boot failure message for the first time ever !
It was a perfectly clean system practically unused system.
I got the laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium.. this just before the Win 8 systems came out..
I deleted Raid Volume and then created a Raid Volume..
Installed Windows 8 , all this while Bios set to Raid !
I noticed my 750Gb drive was no longer visible in Windows.. i installed all the drivers i could think of but still my secondary HDD wasn't being detected in device manager..
Intel Rapid Storage Technology detected 699GB in Storage System View , while device manager didnt..
When i set Bios to either ACHI or IDE , Bios then reads the 750GB drive in boot priority list but then Windows fails to boot from my SSD's set to Raid !
When I set bios to RAID it only reads SSD , not the 750GB drive..
So basically when I set my Bios to raid my secondary 750gb drive disappears from the boot priority list + from Windows !
When I set to achi/IDE my raid disappears.
I want to keep my raid and have my 750gb drive !
How i dont know...
If i disable raid , only a single SSD drive is detected that leaves me with half the space.. so i cant even make do without Raid because ill lose half that space..
Another thing worth noting is that my Bios boot screen/time has increased noticeably compared to how things were originally. feeling sluggish !
Sorry for putting things in such a messy way..
Thanks for your input and help in advace !!!

thanks for updating me on that..
But to my luck , i had nearly been using the system for 2 days now..
Installed everything , played a few movies etc..
Then my system froze..
I had to force shut it down..
Now im getting the Raid boot failure status all over again..
So i went and reconnected the SSD's but the problems still the same..
I cant go delete my entire raid because what if this happens again..
I'm stuck in this non sense of a loop.. most disappointed , i spent so much money on this machine and i haven't once enjoyed it like i was supposed to..
Is it the raid card , is it the ssd , is it the raid software or is it something else.. :(
Why is my system doing this.. beyond disappointed all my efforts have gone to waste..

5th generation ipod not detected by my windows xp. works fine on other pc. performed necessary steps to remove and reinstall itunes but having same issue. is there a driver i can download to pc then direct to that specific location when installing?

5th generation ipod not detected by my windows xp. works fine on other pc. performed necessary steps to remove and reinstall itunes but having same issue. is there a driver i can download to pc then direct to that specific location when installing?

I have a similar issue - my iPod nano connects and is visible in Device Manager yet invisible in My Computer and iTunes. I've tried everything I can possibly think of to try and solve this myself, all in vain.
Mine is a nano 4G. I've been using it for quite some time without the slightest problem. I have been using WINAMP instead of iTunes to manage my darling nano.
Then, one fine day I bought a new computer and the nano would not show up in My Computer, though the nano display shows "Do not disconnect". On my old computer it worked (and still works) absolutely fine with win XP as well as with win7 (the later I currently use on my new/problematic computer, which I bought last summer and that's how long I've had this problem).
Of course, after several first attempts I gave up and installed iTunes. I've tried using the Apple support article "iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows":
- reset
- fully charged,
- cable works fine on two other computers
- in normal or disk mode makes no difference
- tried to find anything useful in the diagnostics mode
- reinstalled iTunes several different times since then to the latest version
- I've unplugged every other USB device except for my mouse and keyboard and tried several different USB ports on my motherboard (USB 3.0 and conventional), as well as trying different USB- related options in my BIOS.
- I've never used any Mac with this ipod
- I've tried fiddling with the win7 Services by stopping and restarting them and of course
- uninstalling the iPod drivers in Device Manager. After such an uninstall the ipod would automatically be recognised and "ready for use", i.e. being invisible in My Computer.
- Attempted to find any possible third-party conflict with msconfig or the possibility that my ipod is being confused for a network drive (for which I've disconnected my HDD, leaving only my SSD with the OS).
Sometimes, iTunes would note that iPod service (or something, can't remember exactly) failed to install properly and asked to try and repair it. I would click YES! and voila - no change! The ipod would rarely show up in iTunes on my problematic computer like this:
iTunes would warn me that the nano would need restoring so I would try and do it on my haunted machine upon which iTunes would freeze like you seen in the picture.
Despite this, I've updated and restored the nano on my father's computer to the latest version without any problems. This though, did not solve my problem in any way.
I can load music to my nano through my old computer (which for me is a real pain and hassle) and the gadget works normally in terms of its disconnected functionality.
I've taken my nano to the local service for repair and they said it was fine. Mercifully, they didn't charge for the diagnostics service (gee, thanks for not ripping me off!).
Here are two screengrabs from my Device Manager
and Devices and Printers screens on my comp:
That is my sad story as far as I can remember. It's most likely something with the drivers or something along those lines though I'm out of ideas at this point.
If you think you have any idea PLEASR HELP, I'M DESPERATE!

HP installer will not detect networked LaserJet MFP M1536dnf just on some PCs

Hello,
this printer/scanner was working fine (printer still works fine via a Windows print server). Then scanning (via network) stopped working on one PC (Windows 7).
Tried to uninstall drivers / HP software and reboot. Then tried to install again - HP Installer will not detect printer on the network no matter what. I can ping the IP of this printer, access its web interface without any issues on the same PC. Tried specifying IP address in the installer - does not detect, the same issue with MAC address.
Had a Windows 8 machine with drivers / software installed on it, tested - scanning still worked fine on that PC. Tried to remove HP software to see if problem will appear. And it did! I cannot install the same software package which I still had in downloads - it will NOT detect the printer on network.
Upgraded printer firmware - no change, even though I don't expect this to be a printer issue as it worked fine until I have uninstalled software on this W8 machine.
Tried using HP Scan & Print doctor. That thing doesn't see printer/scanner installed and only suggest to download and install software which is not helpfull at all.
I also tried extracting HP installation files and finding *.inf files which could be used to add scanner via Windows directly, but haven't succeded with that (I would also be not sure how to specify network IP address in such a case anyway).
Any help is MUCH appreciated. We are kind of stuck...
Thanks!

Hi,
Run some diagnostics and see if any issues are discovered.
There have been reported issues with the NVIDIA 650 with some of the HP PCs. Additionally, most models of the NVIDIA 650 require a 400 watt power supply as the minimum and some models require a PCI six (6) pin power connector which the 300 watt power supply in your PC is not provisioned.
There is a BIOS update posted for your PC so you might want to consider installing that update.

Mac Pro OSX 10.8.3 HP 4000 series scanners are not detecting.

Well..I think, I did everything. I have followed all instructions recommended by HP. I have updated and installed latest drivers. I have even searched the warez sites to find a trick. Useless, useless and useless.
Hardware is retina display with 256 GB SSD, 1600 mGz 8 GB ram and I7 processor. OSX version is 10.8.3
HP 4000 series scanners are not detecting by this machine. Vuescan is detecting but the scanning quality is also terrible.
Strange. I have nothing to say.

For the Scanjet 4850, follow the link below and click on the instructions tab. It looks like you have to get the software and drivers for 10.6 and run a patch to make them work with 10.8. That should get the scanner installed and working.
Scanjet Software Patch to Use OS X 10.6 Software and Driver on OS X 10.7 and 10.8
For the Scanjet G4050, all you should need to do is install the driver from the link below to be able to use the scanner with image capture and other similar products.

Let me know what happens.
