Re: Satellite R850-12R PT52CE Win7 doesn't see SSD disk

I have Toshiba Satellite R850-12R PT52CE notebook and recently bought Adata SP900 256Gb SSD disk.
BIOS can see this disk, but after I tried to instal Windows 7 64bit SP1, at Step where I need to choose place to install, there is nothing shown.
So I can't choose anything.
What can be a problem?
I tried to search AHCI drivers for Windows 7, but found only for XP.
At BIOS I tried to set AHCI also Compatible mode, but no success also.
It would be nice if somebody could share solution.

Hmm you should use the package from Intel page:
[Intel Rapid Storage Technology|http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&keyword=%22Intel%C2%AE+ Rapid+Storage+Technology%22#]
There is an package called Intel Rapid Storage TechnologyF6 Driver Diskettes this contains files which you could add by pressing F6 while setup procedure.

  • Time Machine doesn't see internal disk

    Hi,
    I did a backup on an external disk, but obviously I did something wrong. Now I can't back up on my internal disk because Time Machine doesn't see it. What can I do to make it work again? (The backups on external disk work out fine though, it's just that there is no way to select the internal disk as the main backup because it doesn't show on the "select disk" option...)
    Thanks!

    Sorry but your picture is not presenting.. it is not your fault.. it will present on your computer but not on other computers.
    If I try and download the picture it is 209bytes.. clearly too small. This is trying to open your picture.
    This picture showing the failure is normal screenshot.. does it show for you??
    I have suggested reducing the file name.. pic1.png as I think the long names with spaces could be an issue.
    Here is the same picture with the name changed.
    You cannot select the source disk for the target in TM.
    Here is mine.. the source disk is never ever listed as available to use as a target.

  • Satellite Pro A200 with Vista doesn't see other XP notebook in the network

    I have Satellite Pro A200 Toshiba and I have some problems with the network.
    The Inernet is upp and going but I cant find the other computers in my network.
    Im having 3 other computer in a network. The A200 is having Vista and the other one is having just XP-pro and XP-home.
    The network by the tree standalone is working fine but the laptop is not present in the network.
    I've have checked the workgroup so it the same.
    Is there anyhone thats having any idea how or whats the problem?

    Hi again. Ive discovered how to solve the problem! Its the Norton Internet security thats causes the problem.
    Just open the program, right click at the icon down at right, click at "Norton Protection Center"
    Click on the "Norton Internet Cecurity", Wirewall settings, Commin Settings, Common Rules, Configurate,
    Scroll down to "Standard-Block filesharing in Windows" Mark and "Modify", Mark the option "Allow" Save and go!
    If You have understand what Ive written it should be working, the thing is that I have Swedish versions of all the software
    so it might be a littel hard to understand the translation that Ive done. Try to use it and look for the most likness of my poor English.

  • Rescue and Recovery 4.3 on Win7 doesn't see a backup on external USB hard drive - Model W510

    I've run the Rescue and Recovery utility within Windows 7 on two different external USB hard drives thinking that maybe it was a usb drive issue.  When I open the R And R utility in expert mode I can see that both backups exist on their respective drives.  I planned on updating my hard drive so I made a full hd backup and the R&R startup disc to boot the laptop from.  The bios recognizes either external hard drive at boot with no problems.  It shows the names and "+" sign next to drives.  So I booted the drive at startup off the DVD drive with the R&R startup disc after I was sure that the bios recognized either external drives.  Then when I choose a "Full" restore is of course asks me if I want to use hd, cd/dvd, or external usb drive which I choose the later.  It then should show me the backup that I created earlier just as it did when I ran the utility from the Win7 environment so I can choose it to restore from.  But I get a blank box showing no backups when I run the 4.3 R&R Startup disc.  Again if I boot to Win7 and go into the R&R utility I can see the backup on the exact same USB external drive.  Then boot off the CD startup recovery disc and it shows NO BACKUP!  Help please!  I want to shelf my old hard drive "as is" and create the Restore onto the new hard drive but the utility isn't working for me.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hmmm,
    Seems like that _should_ work.  Here's a way you might be able to finesse it:  go to the advanced R&R menu in Win 7 and create rescue media on your USB drive.  It's essentially the same process as creating the CD - it makes the USB drive bootable and puts a copy of R&R there.
    There _should_ be an option to "preserve existing data" but be prepared to lose your existing backup and make it again.
    Then just boot the external USB drive and see if R&R recognizes a backup image on the same drive from which you booted.
    That's the way I usually migrate to new drives.  Maybe it will get around your mysterious problem.

  • Time Machine doesn't see my disks

    did a OS install after HD swap and now my ext. HD connected to my iMac is not being seen by my MBP. This happened randomly once before and I did a Time Machine reset as advised in one of Podini's guides, but this time it doesn't seem to be working for me.

    Help.  I have the same problem.  I can not choose an external hard drive in Time Machine, even though the 3TB external hard drive appears in Finder inside of my Airport Extreme external drive!
    I have tried disconnecting my hard drive from the Airport Extreme and powering down the hard drive (unmounting is not an option).  I then removed the file: MacintoshHD>Library>Preferences>com.apple.TimeMachine.plist, but, alas, when reconnected the problem remains the same with the same results.
    I am using a Mac Book Pro with a 650gig hard drive and Time Machine WAS working.  It completely backed it up and performed additional incremental backups.  The data is on the hard drive.
    Here is what I did after everything was working in Time Machine that afterwards left me in this lurch:  to my additional extended Airport Extreme I hooked up another external hard drive.  It, too, showed up in Finder, but Time Machine started backing up to the second hard drive - which is not what I intended.  I disconnected the second hard drive from the second Airport Extreme expecting things to return to the way they were.  No such luck.
    What's a fellow to do?  Can you help?
    thank you - Leland

  • Time machine doesn't see possible disks

    Hi there,
    Have several Macs in house and they are all Tiger. Now we have also few month old MacBook and that one is only one with Leopard. I am trying to setup automatic backups with Time Machine and it stops in second screen where it suppose to see possible hard drives used for backup.
    we have Airport Extreme with big USB hard drive connected to it.
    All Macs including this one see and communicate with that shared USB hard drive but it doesn't show up on the list of available drives for Time Machine. I expected to see iDisk and that HD but nothing.
    Any suggestions?? thank you in advance,
    Zack

    Zack,
    It's likely that the USB Hard disk is not partitioned correctly. Even though you may have reformated it Mac OS Extended (Journaled) long ago, It may still not be partitioned correctly. See the following:
    *_How Should a Time Machine Hard Disk be Prepared?_*
    For Time Machine to work properly, the hard disk must be formatted “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” and its’ Partition Scheme should be either GUID or Apple Partition Map.
    Time Machine is incompatible with disks partitioned as Master Boot Record (MBR). Unfortunately, this describes nearly every hard drive you can buy because MBR is a Windows partition scheme. (Naturally, this DOES NOT apply to Apples’ Time Capsule.)
    For some, Time Machine begins to perform as expected with a new external hard disk. But then the initial full backup or subsequent incremental backups fail. The user only later discovers the hard disk was still partitioned as Master Boot Record (MBR).
    One article on Time Machine made this observation: “Virtually everybody will have to open Disk Utility and repartition the disk as APM or GUID. It doesn't really matter which one because the Time Machine disk will not be bootable anyway. APM allows a disk to boot a PowerPC, GUID allows the disk to boot an Intel processor but both are easily digestible by Time Machine on either kind of processor.” [http://www.girr.org/mac_stuff/backups.html]
    It’s been recommended by many here that your reserve +at least+ double the size of your primary hard disk, that way Time Machine backups have room to grow as the size of your data grows. Additionally, the more space you give Time Machine the more history it can preserve. The less space you reserve for Time Machine the sooner older backups & deleted items will disappear.
    One poster recommended this regarding multiple partitions: “If you do create multiple partitions (half and half would be a good place to start), make sure you use the first partition for Time Machine, and the second for your own stuff (the first one will be on top in the graphical representation shown in Disk Utility; you'll understand when you see the partition tab). This way, you can expand the Time Machine volume at any later time by deleting the second partition. Disk Utility allows this dynamic re-sizing of volumes, but volumes can only be expanded toward the end of the drive, when a volume that comes after is deleted to create the room.” [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1712437&tstart=0]
    Procedure
    Connect the hard disk you wish to use for Time Machine backups.
    Launch Disk Utility.
    It will appear twice in the pane on the left. (Make sure you recognize that it is different from the 2 icons that represent your Macs' internal drive.) The upper entry represent the device as a whole, including the controller inside. The lower entry represents the hard disk contained within the device.
    Click on the upper icon of the external hard disk.
    Select the "Partition" tab.
    For "Volume Scheme" choose "1 partition". (Choose 2 partitions if you intend on storing other data on the disk besides your Time Machine backups. Ensure that the two partitions have different names.)
    Name the disk.
    Format should be "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".
    Click "Options".
    Select either GUID or Apple Partition Map. (See above for significance)
    Click "OK".
    Click "Apply". Then click “Partition”.
    Once the external hard disk is repartitioned, select it again in Time Machine preferences and use it for your backups. If you chose to create 2 partitions, then select the first partition for Time Machine backups, and the second for additional files/folders.
    Let us know if this was helpful.
    Cheers!

  • Time Machine doesn't see backup disk

    My wife has a late '06 macbook running 10.6.5. We are trying to setup time machine for wireless backups through our airport extreme and our iomega 500gb hard drive. When opening time machine from system preferences and clicking on "select backup disk..." there are no disks that appear in the selection window. I have a macbook pro that is currently using the same iomega in time machine so yes, the external is formatted for mac and it is working great with my pro. I have shut off and powered back up the external, restarted my wife's macbook, and searched forum after forum and cannot seem to get this to work. The external does not show up in disk utility on her's but does on mine. She just recently had a new hard drive installed at our mac retailer because her original one just up and crashed...no warning or anything so we really want to start doing backups to avoid loosing anymore data. Anymore help would be much appreciated.

    Your suggestion to Connect to Server led me down what seems to have been the right path.
    I first tried restarting the whole network in order, and that made no difference: Time Machine still did not see the external drive partition.
    I used Connect to Server to get to the external drive. That made no difference: Time Machine still did not see the external drive partition.
    I mounted the external drive partition that holds the sparsebundle. That made the difference: the partition was then visible to Time Machine, so I selected it. A dialog box popped up asking for the TC’s password so Time Machine could access the TC. I entered it, and the partition was successfully selected as the backup disk.
    I then tried to backup, but that failed, saying that the backup on PartitionName-1 was in use. I tried it again and looked at /Volumes while it was trying, and saw both PartitionName (presumably mounted by Finder) and both PartitionName-1 (presumably in a futile attempt to be mounted by Time Machine). I cancelled that backup and told Finder to dismount the partition, which caused Finder to dismount the whole Time Capsule. I reconnected to the Time Capsule but did not mount the partition, and tried to backup. That, finally, worked.
    So here’s what I needed to do:
    In Finder, use Connect to Server to connect to the Time Capsule.
    In Finder, open the partition on the Time Capsule’s external drive.
    In Time Machine Preferences, select the partition as the backup disk.
    Enter the Time Capsule password when it’s prompted for.
    In Finder, dismount the partition.
    (Possibly unnecessary: In Finder, use Connect to Server to connect to the Time Capsule.)
    In Time Machine, Back Up Now.

  • Satellite C660-12R - Compatible to Windows XP?

    Hi friends,
    I'd like to ask you if my Toshiba Satellite C660-R12 is compatible with Windows XP? I'm not able to find out any information about it.
    Thanks for your help
    w.

    Hi wencman,
    Its important to know if you can get all drivers for your notebook model and Windows XP. This must be checked on official Toshiba page:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download drivers
    Satellite C660-12R belongs to PSC0QE series and as you can see all drivers for Windows XP are available so installing XP should be no problem. You can download official and pretested drivers! :)

  • XP/Pro box doesn't see other computers on network after running CiscoConnect on it

    Got a new E4200 on September 13 to provide internet and networking to a small business network. 
    There are 2 wired computers, one an XP/pro and the other a Win 7/64 bit.  Both worked straight out of the box in that  both had access to each others' files after plugging them into the E4200.  Two other wireless computers were connected using CiscoConnect, one a Vista and the other a Win 7, and all was fine.  All computers were able to see each others' file. Also managed to get a wireless Canon printer working even though CiscoConnect wasn't able to find it. 
    After I realized I didn't run CiscoConnect on the XP, I did so using the USB key created on the Win7 box and the result was that the XP box doesn't see any of the other computers although all the other computers can see the XP files.  After uninstalling CiscoConnect on the XP and rebooting, the XP can't access the other computer files but it can still access the internet and the wireless Canon printer that CiscoConnect can't find.  Rebooting or powering off/on the router didn't change this state.
    Would appreciate any ideas in getting the XP back into the network.
    Firmware Version:
    1.0.02 build 13  May 24, 2011

    Update on above problem:
    Performed a System Restore on the XP and partial networking functionality was restored.  The XP box now sees the Vista and the XP Explorer can see all computers under  the Workgroup.  Probing the Win 7 computers from XP's explorer the XP returns the following: message
    \\Win7a is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resourc. Contact the a...
    This message doesn't mean much to me as I have limited networking experience but somebody here might understand this clue.

  • Tecra M4 - DVD drive doesn't recognize any disk under Vista

    Hi,
    after the installation of Vista my dvd drive doesn't recognize any disks !
    No upgrade from XP! It was a clean Vista installation.
    I found several links about the registry entries upper and lower filter this entries doesn't exist in my registry under the class CDROM.
    I tested the drive under XP it works fine and recognizes everything.
    Drivers are correctly installed no problems in the device manager is prompted.
    So i have no idea how to get it working, seems to be a Vista problem
    Could any one help me ? I'm really frustrated about this
    Thanks for your help

    Maybe this helps:
    - Remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager.
    - Then access the registry and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    - Then reboot the notebook
    But what happens exactly? What disks are not recognized?

  • PSE 12 for Mac doesn't see my scanner

    PSE12 for Mac refused to work with my scanner. In preferences I checked "Additional Plug-Ins Folder" and selected the Optional Plug-Ins Folder which contains the TWAIN.plugin. I restarted the PSE and the File> Import... command remains dimmed out. Tried resstarting the iMac and PSE still doesn't see the scanner. PSE 11 used to recognize the scanner right away. I hope this isn't a permanent change in PSE 12!
    Thanks for any help!
    OS X 10.8.5
    Canon 8800F Scanner
    TWAIN.plugin v12.0.4x001

    Hi Barbara - I reinstalled PSE 11 on my iMac and verified that it still works with the Canon 8800F scanner. I also installed PSE 12 on my Macbook Air, moved the Twain plug into the right spot, and found that it doesn't see the scanner either. Preview on the Macbook does see the scanner OK so it's not a connection problem there either.
    I noticed that the Twain plugins in PSE 11 and 12 are the same version but different sizes. The get info windows for the two versions of PSE on the iMac (Kahawalu) and the PSE 12 on the Airbook (Niumalu) are below. Would you be able to let me know the PSE 12 Twain file version and file size that is working with your Canon scanner? It might help narrow this thing down.
    Thanks again for your assistance!  William

  • Migration Assistant problem? : New iMac's iTunes doesn't see the catalog or playlist of my old Mac's songs on an external drive

    So I just migrated from a 10.7.5 iMac 27" from 2009 to 10.9.4 on a 2013 27" iMac with Fusion Drive.
    I don't use Time Machine. There are no backups involved here.
    Used Ethernet. Only took 20 hours... (BTW, it stayed on "less than 1 minute left" for like 12 hours but luckily I was away and just left it going in hopes it would work... and it did!)
    Anyway, back on my OLD iMac, I kept all of my songs on an external drive because my internal drive was too small. So iTunes looked at that drive for the music it was playing. I turned that drive off, even disconnected it, during the migration process because I thought it was confusing it during the first attempt which took 10 hours and nothing happened.
    So now it worked, finally. On my new iMac, running Mavericks, I now have two user accounts... the one that was set up when I started the computer the first time, and the new one that transferred over via Migration Assistant. No problem. I can live with that. The only thing is, I would still think the old XML files and library stuff would migrate over... but iTunes doesn't see it. When I open up iTunes, in *either* account, iTunes behaves as if it's brand new. Repeat: the old and new account on the new iMac, both, do not see an old iTunes library which IS on the old iMac. Only the music is on the external drive from what I understand.
    I've done this before so I know it's possible. I remember upgrading a long time ago and got iTunes to see my old library... even though some of the music was no longer there. It just puts "!" marks wherever there is no link. I was hoping that that's what I would find when I launched iTunes, but no luck. Even connecting the old hard drive to the new Mac (via USB) doesn't make iTunes all of a sudden "see" the old library. That data doesn't seem to be there. It didn't transfer over. Did it not transfer over because the songs weren't on the internal volume? Should I have left my external hard drive on?
    So.... now that I've spent almost 3 days total trying to get this to work, and everything is running... I don't want to have to start over in order to get iTunes to work.  Is there a way I can just drag over some XML files or something from the old computer? I don't want to lose all of the ratings and personal notes and everything.
    I should add also that I have like only four songs I've ever actually bought through iTunes. I'm still a bit old fashioned and buy CDs and rip them to Apple Lossless. So I hope it's not an authorization / reauthorization issue because I have like 1400 albums ripped.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    --Jeff

    iTunes does not use the .xml it uses the .itl
    If you are sure your old library file migrated across (does the file size and modification dates suggest it has?) start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the .itl file to get it to use that one.
