P55-GD65 Bios Can't Detect Hard Drives

I can't get my motherboard bios to detect my hard drives (An OCZ Agility SSD and WD Black). My SATA DVD drive is detected properly. I have a Corsair HX850 power supply. My P55-GD65 came with 1.4 Bios.
I had tried default optimised settings and also having AHCI enabled. I tried different SATA cables as well as SATA power cables.  I tried plugging the hard drives in different SATA slots including the one that worked with the dvd drive. I cleared CMOS. I'm stumped. Should I look into flashing a new bios?

He hasn't come back for a year--highly unlikely he'll see this.  Also, don't respond to long dead threads.  Create your own thread.

  • T400 Windows 7 or Vista Clean Install - Can't Detect Hard Drive

    I've attempted to install Windows Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64 using retail copies of both OS's on my T400. Neither OS can find the hard drive during the install process. I've downloaded every driver possible from Lenovo and loaded them via USB during the install, with absolutely no luck. I've installed Ubuntu in the meantime to have a usable computer, but I really need Win7 on there, so I have to figure this out. Any solutions? (and telling me to go download the driver isn't going to help me). Also, I've messed around with the AHCI setting in the BIOS, but that didn't help either. 
    Solved!

    Weird.  Win 7 Pro 64 installed on my T400 without any issues that I can recall.  I realize that doesn't help you much
    I was doing a clean upgrade install using a Microsoft upgrade DVD over the top of a Vista installation.
    Since you've already tried fiddling the  ACHI/IDE mode the only other thing I can think is something about your initial disk partitioning or formatting (or lack of same) confused the installers.  (I realize a confused MS installer is hard to imagine...)
    Maybe fire up your Ubuntu live CD and dd some zeros to the first few sectors of your drive and try again.  Or format the thing w/your choice of FAT32 partitions and see if that makes the installer(s) happier.
    What model drive are you using?  Is it the original drive (not that it should matter, mine wasn't)?  What was installed on the machine initially?

  • M30x bios does not detect hard drive, wont boot from HD

    My Sat m30x wont boot from Hard Drive, instead tries to boot from network.
    Tried to load setup defaults and Hd wont show on the settings
    tried to reistal origin CD software by toshiba and the message no target drive displays
    Can this be a hardware problem, some damaged fisical conection, or is it a bios problem
    thanks in advance for some ligth on this problem

    My M30x has the same problem. I just have used it for 2 months.
    I sent it to the repair center as I was told to do, because it has warranty.
    I'm still waiting for a response from them. I don't know what caused it.

  • Wont detect hard drive in bios

    the bios wont find a hard drive and will freeze when i try to search for hard drives.... what the heck?

    How are Master slave setup on the drives attached to the cable? Are they WD's? If so they should not have a jumper.

  • P55-GD65 BIOS FREEZE

    Hi!
    Ive been running my P55-GD65 for almost an year no with only the problem of "dual-booting" I turn computer on it turns itself off and then it goes on again and works normally, that has something to do with overclocking and I have the TURBO on with my i5 so I didnt mind that, and the another "problem" was that I couldnt reboot computer normally I had to turn it off and turn on again because I have the memory set to 1T.
    But today, the computer freezed on BIOS after detecting hard drives. When I turned the computer off and on again it worked normally, but it dual-booted. (Dual-booting happens like 1/4)
    ""Press DEL to Bios and F11 to Boot menu 0085 0087 "" was the last text on the screen when it freezed.
    Should I start panicking? Or was it just some random freeze, because the temps here are pretty icy, CPU 30C and HDDs vary from 16 to 30C.
    Any ideas? Should I set the memory to 2T next time I boot?

    I see.
    http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=222 <- My memory.
    So, should I put the MHz back to 1333 and Command rate to 2T next time I boot?
    Yes, and run it at 9-9-9-24 1.5v.
    Disconnect that Seagate hard drive and see if you have any problems still. Looks like that drive could be failing though. A failing hard drive can certainly cause problems on start-up.

  • Will not detect hard drive

    I am trying to help out a friend who bought an Ultra2 board (no raid) on my suggestion...it will not see the hard drive.  I have tried 3 different hard drives and different cables.  This is the second board he has ordered with the same problem and he has also replaced the RAM.
    HELP!!

    As you said "When entering the BIOS the screen goes blank for at least 30 seconds before the BIOS is displayed", can you check what is shown in the D-Bracket? Btw, did you enable/disable the RAID?
    Please check the jumper on the WD hdd. Set it to Cable Select and try again with the mobo on all IDE channels, including the RAID IDE too. If BIOS can't detect it, maybe RAID will. You may also try with jumper at MASTER and SLAVE. Also, just try with this single HDD without any CDROM or CDRW attached. There must be something you can set/configure to get it work if the HDD is not faulty.
    If the HDD work standalone in the IDE Channel, then add in the CDROM and CDRW one by one. If problem reappear, then the most suspect is the power supply unit. If from everything you have tried and the HDD can't work, oh well.....

    Buy another hard drive.  They're cheap these days.
    In fact, buy a couple of 'em.  I recommend a minimum of five internal hard drives.
    C: Windows and Programs
    D: Project, graphic and audio files
    E: Cache and Scratch
    F: Media

    i have a macbook pro md318 late 2011 i want to know can i change hard drive from 500GB to 2TB????

    Tbh,  I really wouldn't bother.
    I may get shot down here, but I like having storage centralised, backed up etc, so I would use the internal storage for the day to day stuff, and anything more dated, and large, then dump it on an external, with backup.
    I've heard some horror stories about larger capacity drives getting over hot, and failing in some machines. Not macs particularly though.

  • I can't access hard drive

    I buy Airport time capsule.
    I can access WiFi but can't access hard drive ?

    Are you actually running Lion on your computer??
    Make sure the preference in Finder allow it to show network drives.
    This might be turned off.
    Have you setup Time Machine.. Time Machine can usually find the TC. If it fails then you need to redo the setup of the TC.
    Use all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Manually mount the TC hard disk from finder.. go .. connect to server.
    Type in the name.
    AFP://TCname (in mavericks you will need to add the domain.. so TCname.local) TCname is of course replaced with your actual TCname.

  • MacBook Pro2012 : How can you get hard drive upgraded in Netherlands without losing warranty?

    My MacBook Pro (2012) hard drive is almost full, Apple refuses to provide hard drive upgrade service, how can you get hard drive upgraded in Netherlands without losing warranty?

    Dear Ralph, and All
    My MBP is indeed non-retina.
    I also have Apple care support for 3 years
    I was in touch with Apple suport since last week. Response I got on Phone was pretty astounding (waiting email confirmation). They say following
    - Apple support does not provide such service of upgrading hard drive
    - Doing it yourself means you will lose warranty (due to nature of operation one would need to perform on the computer)
    - None of authorised delars will provide such a service
    So as such there apparantly is no way to get your hard drive upgraded without losing warranty.
    Leaves me a bit perplexed
    I do understand MBP retina (or iPAD / iPhones) are manufactured in way that makes it technically impossible to upgrade certain parts. But why non-retina MBP?
    What do you all think? is this reasonable? is this what a MBP customer would expect?
    Really appreaciate the quick responses i have recieved from you and others on this forum.
    Many thanks
