Installed New Toshiba 320gb hard drive...windows 7 professionaL 64 bit cant find hard drive

I recently got a replacement hard drive from HP...a Toshiba 320gb(MK3261GSYN)...I installed the hard drive into my hp probook4530s(XU074UT#ABA)...when I go to install windows 7 professional 64 bit edition, windows isnt able to find any hard disk to install the operating system on. But before even putting in the windows 7 disc, the computer asks me to install a operating system onto my hard drive. Also when I do a hard disk check test...the hp bios software automatically says the hard disk has failed.

Hi,
Before going any further, I would like to verify these situations:
1 Did this issue appear before?
2 What have you done with PC before the issue appear?
According to your description, that seems the issue related with driver or programs conflict with Windows 7.  I suggest to perform these tests to troubleshoot
the issue:
1 Unplug all unnecessary hardware and login with Safe Mode or
Clean Boot
2 If it works well in Safe Mode, please remove all third party tools or programs, reinstall or update the hardware drivers to the latest version.
3 If the issue persists,  you can perform an in-place upgrade to fix the system issue:

Hope that helps.

    Also, what are new MBs doing so that one doesnt have to deal with this annoying F-6 step?  For some reason I think I heard new MBs dont require this F-6 step.
    for his mobo, the drivers are absolutely necessary to be loaded when SATA HDD are used. that is due onboard sata controller.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

  • Windows 7 can´t find the driver for HP Officejet 5510. (Windows Update is set to automatic.)

    Hello everyone, I just installed Windows 7 - 64 bit. Supposedly the driver for the HP Officejet 5510 will install automatically in Windows 7 when connected via a USB, which is not happening.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01796879&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=4063&product=311...
    I am getting the message that Windows 7 can't find the driver. I don´t understand why?
    My Windows Update is set  to automatic.
    I see the device under printers. But when I click on it it says driver missing.
    Is there any solution? Possibility to get the driver some other way? Unfortunately HP doesn't provide a download on their website. 
    Can anyone help me, pleease?
    Honza

    I have the same problem. I spent all this money to get more features, not less so Windows 7 should run all of my XP stuff. Now I see that my HP Officejet 5510 all-in-one won't scan and I can't save in pdf format. C'mon HP....give us a driver! If I wind up having to buy another printer, I swear it won't be an HP if I get abandoned on this one. And I'll also switch vendors for all of the printers I'm responsible for replacing at work too.

  • Palm 755P (Sprint) not synchronizing with new Toshiba Satellite L305D operatig Windows Vista.

    OK Please help the new guy....
    I have a Treo that is a month old. It was previously synchronized with my old computer. My old computer took the dive. I bought a new Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5938t aht is running Windows Vista.
    I tried to locate the Palm Desktop via the disk in the Treo box from Sprint. No dice. The Desktop loaded, but I can't synchronize my Treo. There is no available USB connection.
    So, I played around with it and tried to get it to connect via bluetooth.... NO DICE.
    Very frustrating.....
    Does anyone have any advise at all?
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Anybody out there have a solution?
    Has anybody beside me encountered this problem too?
    Please advise.....
    Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

    Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums.  My first assumption is your Vista is a 64bit version.  That being the case there are no usb drivers available which is the reason for the problem trying to sync via cable.  You are headed in the right direction as bluetooth is the only way your going to sync.  First the computer has to be bluetooth compatible or you need to purchase a bluetooth dongle and get it installed and then get the two to pair.  From there if you go the the windows hotsync thread here you will find a sticky that explains the process.  Also here is a knowledge base article about how to sync via bluetooth.  http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/nua/launchKB.asp?c=41559

  • Trying to install new Hardrive...can't get it to format the drive

    I just bought a Maxtor Maxline Plus II 250 gig hard drive for more storage and as a second bootable drive, I'm having trouble with my current drive. I installed the drive and turned on the computer, The drive comes up in disk utility but will not allow me to format or erase the drive. I even tried from the Mac OSX install dvd and still nothing. I bought the drive on ebay and the guy says it needs a low level format? Does anyone have any suggestions...I'm pulling out my hair here.
    Thanks

    Hi-
    Welcome to Discussions!
    the guy says it needs a low level format?
    That's not within the realm of the end user.
    Low level formatting is done at the factory.
    If the drive can't be erased, return it. Something is wrong.

  • Itunes error 7 Unable to install new version of Itunes on Windows 7

    I am stumped. Have tried to install the latest iTunes download on my PC (Windows7), have tried everything to get it to work. Uninstalled all Apple programs, disabled my anti-virus... so frustrating! Have been trying for a few hours and do not know what to do.
    It looks like there is an error with the iTunesHelper

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

  • Cant find hard drive

    so i just put in a 2 hard drive into my g5 and i cant find in when it boots up and in finder i cant see it. and im trying to put a newer vertion of osx on the 2 hard drive so.. if anyone made seens out of that.. help?

    After installing a new drive run Disk Utility. The drive should show at the left. Select the drive and use the "Erase" function to format it as "Mac Extended Journaled". If the drive doesn't show in "Disk Utility" it may be not connected properly, or it may have SSC (Spread Spectrum Clocking) enabled. The built-in disk controller on the G5 will not work with SSC. Some drives can disable SSC via a jumper change, others have to have it changed via a PC.

  • Installed iTunes 10.2.1 for Windows (64-bit), Error 7 Windows 998

    Hello
    After updating iTunes 10.2.1 for Windows (64-bit)I am getting the dreaded iTunes was not installed correctly, Please reinstall iTunes. With error 7 (Windows error 998) popups.
    Tried already all the known uninstall/install/repair suggestions. Tried runnng as administrator or changing permissions. Tried disabling Bonjour Service.
    Until now nothing has repaired it.
    Is there a way to fix this? Can it be an Adobe update?
    Is there a way to get an older version?

    I had the same problem. I tried doing a system restore to a day or 2 before i did the update. The restore was successful but the itunes problem remained. After that I went into the control panel, selected itunes and clicked the repair tab.
    It now works fine for me. The only other step I took was to copy my itunes folder into another location in case anything went wrong. Once the repair was complete I simply replaced the new empty itunes folder with my previous one.
    Hope this is of some help.

    Only if you decide to share with us your particular situation. Guild Wars should install and run like any other Game. Other than the Game Installer, Games don't need some other installer to make them work. Only someone who reads the instructions for the proper installation.
