Probook 6550b does not recognize ssd on reboot

Hi, I've installed an Intel 530 SSD 240GB into my Probook 6550b (replacing a crucial 128GB, which worked fine).  
The computer boots ok on the SSD from a cold start, but does not recognise the SSD on restart.  Also SSD is hanging and slow. 
I have tested the SSD in an Elite 8560p and it works fine, boots both from restart and cold start.  
Am I able to change the maximum SATA speed on the HP Probook 6550b?  I didn't see an option to do this in the BIOS.  Have the current BIOS v F.23.

Thanks, I'll try there.

  • Cq-61-319wm does not recognize SSD

    I have tried three Crucial BX100 250GB drives and it sometimes does and most times does not recognize the SSD. I ran CHKSDK to fix all errors, ran disk clean, ran disk compress and cloned the drive using a USB to SSD cable using Macrium Reflect. Reflect always claims success. I also used Reflec to fix BOOT Rec problems, just in case. All updates to the OS have been installed.
    The problem is that the BIOS does not find the drive most times. When it finds it, it runs just fine. Spent two days with Crucial support, on and off, but they are at a loss. The keep thinkiing it is a bad clone, but the BIOS can not find the drive. By the way, what a terrible BIOS. I am going to uprade to the latest to see if it is better. IMHO HP does not understand the function of a BIOS, it is to give information, not hide it.
    During a not found drive, it hangs during startup for about 15 seconds with no screen, finally goes to the red screen with the Press ESC for menu and then if offers to boot from the CD/DVD Rom.
    During a found drive, it does not hang, pops up the red screen within 2 seconds, complete boot takes about 22 seconds, excluding the 5 second delay on post screen I set.
    This question was solved.

    Hi @Fuzzy42 ,
    Thank you for the query, I understand how exasperating it can be when things go awry.
    Although you have most likely checked this but just to be sure, do you have the boot order set correctly?
    HP Notebook PCs - Configuring the Boot Order in the System BIOS
    I suggest you try restoring the defaults in the bios.  This will allow it to scan for the attached hardware.
    Once you have the bios Window open, you will notice along the bottom of the screen the option to restore defaults
    ( Usually F9 ).
    If the issue remains try restoring the bios and then install any recommended updates.

  • Probook 6560b does not recognize my SSD

    hi, i recently purchased a hp probook 6560b and wanted to give it an upgrade by replacing the standard 500gb 7200rpm hdd with a 120gb force gt ssd. but the notebook doesn't recognize the ssd at all, it says no drive is installed. the notebook has the latest bios available and the ssd has the most recent firmware. i know the ssd isn't defective because it works just fine in my desktop pc. hopefully one of you guys can help me out. thanks in advance.

    ############################################################ Update from January / 2012 # to everyone reading this and having the same issue:# There is a BIOS update F.22 available that fixes the recognition problem! ## Sata-III speeds are still not usable, but it is a big step forward. See page5 and onwards.########################################################### Hello fellow 6560b owners,I decided to enter this support forum to inform you of an important correlation concerning the SSD-Problem I observed: Every non-recognizable SSD-drive mentioned here had a native SATA-III (6Gb/s) Interface.  Every working SSD* had a native Sata-II or Sata-I interface.(*exception: the Crucial M4 mentioned by Slym, which seems to be recognized, but fails on system-level none the less. That does not count as 'working'.) The correlation to recognizion/Sata-II dawned on me after my 6560b did not recognize a brand new Kingston Hyper-X 120GB (Sata-III), but did correctly recognize an OCZ 180GB Agility 2 (Sata-II), which is almost identical to the OCZ Vertex 2/LE. The OCZ drive worked without problems until this week, when it suddently failed without warning. Totally bricked, all data lost. OCZ is aware of that problem, the forums are full of it, but they obviously don't want to start a recall. (Corsair did that with their failed Force3-Series, as well as Intel should do with their 310-Series repeatedly reverting to 8M size.)  Which means, I'm back to zero and have to find a new drive that is reliable and recognized in the 6560b. For any SSD-user out there: backups will save you a ton of frustration. Most mayor manufacturers had serious problems with their SSDs dying, so be warned. Some details about my machine: new 6560b, 3 months old (as was the OCZ drive), HW 65 B3 stepping.(->no Intel Sata-chipset failure possible.) Search for explanation / reasons to the 6560b's SSD-problemHWinfo reports 2 Sata-III Ports, which I suppose are those on the main drive slot and the optical drive.The HW 65 as well as the QB67 (which both seem to be very identical according to wikipedia) both reportedly support 2 SATA-III-Ports, which were not affected in the B2-stepping-Sata-II-failure-thing that hit Intel in Jan/Feb 2011.So why should a Sata-III-link from a Sata-III-capable mainboard to a Sata-III-capable drive not work, but a sata-II does?And why can't the Sata-III drives just revert to Sata-II capabilities and work slower, but recogizable? general issues that I can think of:
    1) hardware/software-based problem concerning the chipset improbable after that sata-II-issue. I assume they checked everything, and as most Sata-III drives are SSDs, they must have tested our models as well. Oh, and other Sandy-Bridge-notebooks accept Sata-III just fine, don't they?
    remaining possibility: the B2-bug-aftermath produced this Sata-III-bug in the 6560b's configuration. That may be a hint to why the Sata-III Corsair M4 worked for the user Switched2HP and his B2-stepping-board, but similar M4-Corsair-SSDs did not work in B3-stepping-6560b notebooks. I'm not convinced of this explanation, though, as Switched2HP had also had problems with the Kingston-HyperX Sata-III drives. Important question @Switched2HP: did you test the Kingston Hyper-X in the same B2-stepping laptop the M4 runs fine in?
     2) hardware/software-problem on the SSD sideWith us trying almost every Sata-III drive out there? Which work fine on other Chipsets & notebooks? Almost impossible..
     not improbable cause no. 3:- hardware-problem on the electrical link side [eg. bad connectors/cables which prevent Sata-III from working, while not allowing downwards compatibility to Sata-II to jump in] this problem would IMHO only be fixable with complete replacement of the mainboard probable cause no. 4:- bios/HP-hardware-software-based problem concerning the chipset  eg. it's HPs fault because they deactivated/bricked something. See point 1) for B2-stepping-aftermath-scenario.
    IMHO quite possible. HP would earn a ton of respect if they manage to solve that problem with a firmware update.  As the 6560b was built to be upgraded in a few minutes, an issue prohibiting modern SSDs and HDDs to work is a complete deal-breaker. As we, the users, have no access to the deeper configuration options, hardware-level-logs or even just knowledge about the inner workings of our chipsets, this would be the perfect time of some expert from HP to join in this thread, which is running for over 3 months now.  I'm sorry guys from HP, but this is a serious problem, as soon there will only be Sata-III drives left, so I'm not doing this for fun.  The HP Probook is not just any cheap throwaway-laptop.

  • ITunes does not recognize iPhone after reboot

    Windows XP SP3, iTunes 10.6.1.7, iPhone 3g v.4.2.1
    Running on a Windows XP machine, iTunes will not regonize any one of 3 iPhones plugged in to any one of 4 USB ports using any one of 3 different USB cables. 
    If I uninstall, then reinstall iTunes from its setup file, all the iPhones are recognized on any USB port with any cable and all can sync successfully with no errors.
    But, if I reboot the machine, iTunes no longer sees any of the iPhones plugged in to any of the USB ports again even though they appear as devices under My Computer and you hear the normal two tones indicating successful device connection.  The only way to have the iPhones appear in iTunes is to uninstall and reinstall iTunes again each time after the machine is rebooted.
    Does anyone have a suggestion as to what could be causing this and how it can be fixed?
    Thanks,
    Chris.

    Thanks for the suggestion.  I tried stopping and restarting Apple Mobile Services, Bonjour and iPod services but it had no effect.  The problem still remains - everything works for all 3 iPhones immediately after reinstalling iTunes but none of them can connect with any of the USB cables after a reboot.  This problem is still present as of upgrading to 10.6.3.25.
    BTW, I do have other choices.  I can become disenchanted with the product, use it less and less, then eventually migrate over to some competitor's product.
    Cheers,
    Chris.

  • ITunes in Windows PC only launches at reboot does not recognize iPod touch

    I have had this problem for sometime, but have lived with it. I have my iPod touch 1G connected to a Windows XP PC for syncing charging etc. If I unplug the iPod touch and use it for a while not connected to the PC and then plug in into the USB port, iTunes does not recognize the touch and I have to do a complete reboot of the windows PC. Is there a work around for this problem?

    iTunes does not recognize the touch and I have to do a complete reboot of the windows PC
    Is windows freezing for you undr those circumstances, or is something a bit different going on? (If you're getting an error message, let us know what it says.)

  • T-61 Visat Prof. 32bit does not recognize internal 1TB SATA HDD

    Hi,
    I just bought 1TB WD internal SATA 2.5" hard drive and connected to USB of my laptop via SATA external adaptor but my laptop does not recognize this driver.
    I have Windows Vista 32bit OS.
    Any advise how I can fix this? My intent is to transfer all data from internal HDD to the new HDD and then replace old HDD with new one and upgrade to Windows 7.
    THanks,
    Ash

    There are a few problems regarding the way you are trying to do this. First is that your new drive won't be recognized by windows until it's partitioned and formatted. Also, since you're upgrading the OS, you'd be better advised to install the new drive in your laptop and install the operating system, windows will setup the new drive for you then you can connect the old one and transfer any of it's data onto the new drive. If you do it this way it should be effortless, but if you attempt the way you described you could run into problems being that you have an advanced format drive replacing traditional sata drive. Also if you allow windows to initiate and format the drive you know it will be done properly for the type of drive you have. 
    Another suggestion would be to have windows setup the drive with at least two primary partitions. With a drive that large it's nice to have more than one and if you ever find the operating system badly corrupted you could wipe that partition and reinstall without losing any of the data in other partition/s. You can also install multiple operating systems. I can be very handy to have a backup operating system in case something goes wrong so you can be up and running immediately upon rebooting. There is nothing more frustrating than having a non-functioning computer when you badly need to get some work done and this can allow you to continue working and worry about fixing whatever went wrong at a time of your choosing.

  • MSI x48c platinum does not recognize 2 PCIe boards

    Hello,
    I had the same recycling boot problem as others have noted.
    It occured with the Antec Phantom 500 power supply and the Antec Signature 850.
    Swtiched to a Cool Master Pro 650 and no more recyling boots.
    However, I have 2 PCIe cards that this system board does not recognize in the POST (quick boot disabled) and no new hardware is found under win XP.
    Boards are:
    Black Magic Design Intensity (HDMI board)
    http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/techspecs/
    United Audio UAD-2 Quad (audio DSP)
    http://www.uaudio.com/products/uad/uad2neve128/index.html
    Does not matter if they are together, alone or which PCIe slot.
    These bpards are needed for my work.
    anybody else have baords that the x48c can't see?
    These same boards are fine with other motherboards.

    i just remember     i had once similar problem with a sata driver. the issue is this you can not adjust everything in bios in one go and expect mobo to know about it. what i mean is this for instance you disable the raid then you save it and exit and then when it reboot you go back to bios and reset another another parameter,  you save and exit and on reboot you go back to bios and reset another parameter. i got round the prob that way and it worked and mobo saw the sata HDD. give this a shoot good luck and finally make sure raid is disabled
    this is what i would do
    1- make sure the jumper setting on your IDE Hdd is correct (Y may have to try this twice as there are two different setting on jumper setting for Master)
    2- connect the sata HDD
    3-click on power
    4-go to bios and disable raid save exit
    5-on reboot go back to bios
    6--on first option click on it then you should see all devices that can be seen by mobo if you do not see sata HDD you have to click on enable for the auto to see the device once it sees the device save and exit. REMEMBER THE JUMPER SETTING  ON IDE HDD CAN CAUSE PROB . SO try the other jumper setting for master, repeat this procedure once more hopefully you get it right

  • Report Generation Toolkit does not recognize Office 2003

    Hi there
    The newly installed MS Office 2003 and LV 8.5.
    When installing Report Generation Toolkit is screams that it does not recognize Office 2003:
    "Microsoft Office version 2000 or higher was not detected on the system. You need to install Microsoft Office 2000 or higher before you install the NI Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office 1.1.2."
    What to do?
    thanks
    Pawel

    Did you reboot your system after installing Office 2003?  Have you launched Word and/or Excel since installing Office 2003?  I think there might be some registry initialization that takes place on first launch of Word and Excel.  If you've launched Word/Excel and the RGT 1.1.2 installer still isn't detecting them, there may have been a problem with your Office 2003 install.  Try uninstalling Office 2003 and reinstalling it.  When you reinstall, double-check that Word and Excel are selected in the install.  Then launch them both a first time before trying to install RGT 1.1.2.  If it still doesn't detect Office 2003, perhaps there's another problem with your system.  Are you using any foreign language software?  What OS are you running?  Is it Office 2003 standard or professional?  Is there anything weird about your Office install, like is it installed over the network instead of from CDs? 
    I'm hoping the answer to one of these questions helps you solve the problem.  Keep me posted...

    I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password"  This started after they did the change to Icloud and extended our subcriptions.

    I guess that the server name is incorrect, then.

  • Ipod touch will not turn on and computer does not recognize the device

    I tried resetting my ipod touch, but there is still no response. I have had it plugged into the computer for a couple of days. I don't know if it is charging or what because the screen won't turn on and the computer does not recognize the device. I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes, as well as restarting my computer several times. Does anyone know what to do? I would try restoring it, but like I said my computer doesn't recognize it and itunes doesn't either. Thanks!

    I just had a similar problem and tried all of the reboot techniques with no success. I knew it had to be a connection issue inside the iPod, and grasping at straws, I sprayed a little WD-40. I dried it off and let it sit overnight. Today at lunch I plugged it in to my wall charger and it began charging.
    ***FYI I know they don't recommend spraying WD-40 on your iPod, but it was a last resort for me. I was at the point of paying to send it in for repairs or throwing it away. I wouldn't try this unless you are ready to throw yours away too.

  • Windows does not recognize my nano

    Hi there, I'll try to explain my problem: I just got my nano and connected it before installing itunes (I think that was wrong) so it showed the ipod drive at "my computer", then i tried to install itunes but when it asks to connect the ipod to see if it needs formatting, i do it and it says it needs formating, then i click format and wait for a long time but nothing happens (it never finish the format process)... Itunes does not recognize the ipod at all, my computer only shows the drive where i can copy files... I've resetted my ipod, reinstalled itunes, rebooted the PC but it's the same... I've also tried to restore the ipod but the updater doesn't recognize it... please someone help!!!

    This came from another thread, but worked for me.  Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62 and Windows 8.1.  Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update).  Reboot, and reinstall iTunes.  It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano.  Good luck.

  • Vista does not recognize my iPhone / Not charging

    Two problems:
    1. Extemely slow charging:
    - I've had my iPhone plugged in to the wall all night. The battery meter only shows 20% power.
    - When charging from my computer or the mains, the charge icon does not appear.
    - I've tried charging off my laptop, desktop and the mains.
    - I've tried using the cradle and just the usb cable by itself.
    2. Widows does not recognize my iPhone:
    - I have Vista 32bit
    - I have tried multiple USB ports, all of which work with other devices
    - I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes about 10 times now
    - I have restarted iPhone and my PC many times now
    When I start the machine, this is the sequence of events:
    1. I get a message saying:
    "Windows needs to install driver software for you Unknown Device"
    2. I get a message saying:
    "Installing device driver software"
    3. I get a message saying:
    "Windows couldn't find driver software for your device"
    - I click on "check for a solution"
    4. Then it tells me:
    "Windows Vista does not support midiport device"
    PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I GO COMPLETELY CRAZY!!!

    The failure to charge sounds like a defective cable. Check this first.
    If you are running 64 bit Vista it will not work with the iPhone.
    If you are running 32 bit Vista make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (7.5). The reboot the phone - hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears (about 8 seconds).

  • My computer no longer recognizes my iPod Touch. And the iPod Touch does not recognize that it is connected to a computer.

    My computer no longer recognizes my iPod Touch. And the iPod Touch does not recognize that it is connected to a computer.  It has worked great for many days until today.
    I’ve tried two different Apple cables.
    I’ve tried different USB ports on the computer.
    I have rebooted both the Mac and the iPod.
    I’ve wiggled the cables and checked for dust in the connectors.
    The iPod charges using this same cable connected to wall wart.  That’s a good sign.
    Both the Mac and iPod seem to work fine separate from each other.  They just won’t talk anymore.

    I found this possible solution on another support thread, so I tried it.
    turn off iPod
    hold Sleep and Home buttons to start it.
    When Apple appears, let go of Sleep button, but keep holding Home button.
    When screen goes blank, let go of Home button.
    Connect cable and check iTunes to see if it has conencted.
    This did not work for me.
    I then turned off the iPod, restarted the Mac, and restarted the iPod normally.
    I connected them with the cable, and it works like normal.  :-)

  • MacBook pro does not recognize my WD external hard drive anymore

    I use TIme Machine on my WD external hard drive. Everything was working great up until about a month ago. My MacBook Pro does not recognize my external hard drive anymore...I have done nothing differently than usual. I did search in previous discussions and tried rebooting both the hard drive and the computer.
    The USB port is fine as it does recognize another external hard drive and also pen drives....Please help! I haven't backed up in a month and need to figure out how to get this to work soon. Should I call WD?

    Does the WD drive show in Disk Utility?
    Many times, a USB port simply cannot provide the power a hard drive needs. It is not uncommon for any electric motor to draw more power as it ages. A drive that worked before can stop working when it gets older because age has made it tak more power than any USB port can supply. There are a couple of cheap things to try:
    1) A "Y" USB cable---two plugs go to the computer and one to hte drive, giving a power boost.
    1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
    2) a POWERED USB hub. That takes the power delivery burden off the USB port so it can deal with data.
    WD bare drives are fine but their enclosures are not very Mac-friendly. One thing that has reported helping is to get rid of the proprietary formating that WD puts on their drives. If you don't have to share the drive with a Windows computer, use Disk Utility to erase and reformat the drive to Macintosh Extended Journaled.
