T43 - ultrabay adapter not detecting drive

I just bought  an after market Ultrabay Adapter off ebay for the SATA drive I recently bought. However, when I plugged in the adapter into the cd-rom slot Windows does not detect as a drive. It shows up as new hardware detected, but that's it. What can i do to make the drive detectable in MyComputer ( or how do I access it) ?

Does it show up in disk management?  Perhaps it needs to be formatted, or is the drive already formatted?

  • PC not detecting drives, won't boot up passed HP Splash

    Hey, so randomly two days ago I left my PC on and awoke to it frozen on the HP start up splash. Going into the bios I realize my hard drive is not detected, later on my CD drive stopped being detected. I ordered a new hard drive and I'm still getting the same problem.
    I've done everything the support site says. I've switched back and forth between my new and old hard drive. I've tried switching the SATA ports its connected to on the mobo, I've tried disconnecting each piece of hardware one by one, but it still won't detect the drives. Still won't boot up Windows.
    The only thing I can do is run a linux off a USB Stick, but if I try to install of course, there's no hard drive detected. This can't be a mobo problem, can it?
    Please help, this is what I'm running.
    HP Pavilion p6310y
    Athlon ll X4 2.8GHz,
    6GB DDR3,
    1TB SATA,
    DVDRW,
    Win 7 Home Prem 64-bit.
    the new HD is a 2tb WD SATA, so I don't see why that would be a problem either.

    The Pegatron M2N78-LA (DDR2 & DDR3 versions) motherboards are dying.  Specifically the chipset on the motherboard dies which results in not detecting any drives.  HP Customer Support does not have it on a recall list and could not offer any real solutions.  Many have resulted in changing the motherboard to other MicroATX boards compatible with the HP (but you'll need to also puchase a new copy of Windows7).  Others have replaced it with the same motherboard from ebay (make sure you use the correct memory version)... however it is likely that the same motherboard would fail again.
    See this thread.  I had to replace one myself with another MicroATX board.

    If your model does not use the M2N78-LA (Stamped Right on the Motherboard) this would not apply.

  • Wireless adapter not detected on T520 4240-4au

    I just purchased a Thinkpad t520 and have installed Win 7 Enterprise on it. 
    - Ive tried reinstalling the drivers
    - Ive turned wireless switch on the side on and off and tried fn-f5 
    - In the device manager I see a Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6205 and the newest drivers are installed. Ive disabled it and enabled it. 
    - In the BIOS Config->Network-> I only have two options 1) Wake on LAN and 2)Ethernet LAN Option ROM
    - When I run the Intel PROset/Wireless tools and run the diagnostic tool, the hardware, radio, scan, assoication, authentication, signal, ping tests all fail. The only test that is successful is the driver test.
    Is there anything else that im not doing where I can enable the adapter? Is it possible I got a faulty adapter from the factory? I do have bitlocker turned on which is a company policy, but I cant see that being the issue. I never tried to use wireless on this laptop until today. Thanks for any help. 

    That's weird ...
    - hardware switch on
    - FN + F5 on for WLAN
    - BIOS I/O ports WLAN on
    - Device manager showing WLAN adapter.
    All of this should enable WLAN to work. hmmm ... Have you tried using Access Connections? Any error showing there?
    Try uninstalling Hotkeys, Lenovo Power Manager and Power Management driver ... then reboot then install all 3 again then enable it using Fn+ F5 keys and see if it helps.
    If problem still persist, try doing a R&R to the default factory OS and see if is really a hardware issue. If in factory OS and still fails then you might want to contact support for a hardware check.
    Alternatively, you can try using zoltan's suggestion to boot OS using Ubuntu disc and see if the OS is casing the problem.
    see Zoltan's post on UBuntu below.

  • Elitepad -ethernet adapter not detected

    I have an Elitepad 900 running Win 8.1.  When I connect an Ethernet adapter (H3N49AA) absolutely nothing happens.  The tablet does not see the hardware at all let alone allow me to configure the network settings for it.  The device does not appear in Control Panel/Device Manager.
    Are there some drivers I'm missing? I've installed the Win8.1 driver pack and any other Softpaqs I can find

  • T500 - Internet Wireless Adapter Not Detected

    I am at a loss right now since I have never encountered a problem with a computer that I couldn't solve at all. On my T500 (2081CTO), I had an XP OS and everything was working fine (almost). I decided to install the original Vista that came with it and at the same time updated the BIOS to the latest version, I think 3.18, before I installed Visa Home Basic. After the install, there is no wireless adapter deteced. I can't get any internet without a cable. Here is everything I have tried already:
    Install all Vista OS updates
    Run Lenovo System Update
    Install standalone Wireless drivers from Lenovo directly
    Resintall the drivers
    Physically remove, clean, and re-insert the wireless adapter
    Check settings in BIOS to make sure all wireless devices are enabled
    Disable and then re-enable wireless LAN/WiMax in BIOS
    Clear CMOS
    I don't know what else to do, besides some costly and time consuming options, like reinstalling XP instead, getting a new adapter, or paying someone to fix my own computer.
    Here are some additional clues:
    Under device manager, only Intel 82567LM Gigabit Network Controller is listed under "Network Adapters"
    There is "Other devices" under which there is "Network Controller" with an excalamation mark. I have been unable to install the dirvers for it
    Finally, I do not have Lenovo recovery disks and had to install Vista from a downloaded version online. At the end of the install is asked me to install drivers, which I thought sounded weird, and chose not to. If I have to pay $30 to get a replacment disk for something I already own, I'd rather buy Windows 7.
    So this is my dilemma and I am not sure exactly where my problem is. I would appreciate any help or insight.

    You probably just need to download & install the drivers for the WiFi card... (You probably also need the drivers for some other devices as well, such as AMT and Card Reader, IIRC) You can get them on the Lenovo Driver download page, http://support.lenovo.com - (Drivers & Downloads) just put your MT/M number (from a label on the bottom of the laptop) in the "QuickPath" Product selector... (If you can't find the MT/M just put T500 in.) Then look for Wireless LAN drivers... If you haven't already done so, I'd suggest getting a copy of the Windows 7 Pro Recovery discs for the laptop and THEN install the afore mentioned drivers... Feel free to send me an e-mail if you have further questions about this... Just remove the spaces, change ATsymbol to @  and change DOTsymbol to . mkingsmill ATsymbol gmail DOTsymbol com I will do my best to reply on the forum for all to see (thus helping others who may also be researching solutions to this issue)

  • WiFi Adapter not detected on T530

    Hi there, I just purchased a refurb T530 form the Lenovo outlet and have had enormous problems with the Wifi Adapter. Machine: T530 Win 64 Pro Wifi card Realtek I know there have been many similar discussions of this issue in the past, so I can start by eliminating certain possibilities based on previous posts.
    1. The plug-in Ethernet functions fine.
    2. Toggle power switch has been tried, as well as FN+F5, which generates a message about no supported wireless adapters being found.
    3 WiFi card does not show up in the Device Manager (DM). There are no errors for other hardware components listed in the DM.
    4. WiFi does not show up in the BIOS.
    5. Lenovo support sent me a replacement WiFi card, but an Intel model, which immediately generated an error message upon bootup about a non-compatible PCI card. I reinstalled the original Realtek card and still cannot see it in the DM or BIOS.
    6. Have tried loading and unloading various drivers with respect to both the WiFi card as well as power management and hotkey features.
    This is brand new machine, and hence will go back to Lenovo under warranty service, but I would much prefer to handle this without the shipping hassle back-and-forth, plus I would like to understand the underlying issue to prevent its recurrence (especially if it's software based and not simply a defective chip). Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If adapter isn't broken, fitted to the slot preperly and turned on it should be recognised by system on the pci-e bus and seen in the Device Manager at least as Unknown device.
    To ensue that open powershell window and copy-past (via right click menu) the following string:
    Get-WmiObject Win32_PNPEntity | Where-Object{$_.ConfigManagerErrorCode -ne 0} | Select Name, DeviceID
    If adapter is recognised but doesn't have drivers installed, you'll see its description.
    Or you can check wireless adapter by its description context:
    Get-WmiObject Win32_PNPEntity | Where-Object{$_.Name –Match “DeviceName”} | Select Name, DeviceID
    Replace "DeviceName" in the string above with "Raltek", "Wireless", "Adapter" etc. (keep the quotes)

  • WiFi Adapter Not Detected

    Hello, I recently just got a WiFi adapter for my Mac because my Mac's inbuilt one doesn't have that good range. I'm running Mavericks 10.9.5. When I plugged in the dongle, it did not light up and my Mac did not even recognize it, but when I plugged it in to my Windows PC, it was recognized and working perfectly. The dongle is a D-Link DWA 150 (Link:http://us.dlink.com/products/connect/wireless-n150-usb-adapter/) Can anyone please help me?

    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.

  • Surface Pro 3 / "Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter"

    Hi all,
    I've been running the Windows 10 Technical Preview (9926) on my Surface Pro 3 successfully
    since January. Unfortunately, I lost all internet connectivity today.
    The problem started when I noticed the type cover wasn't working (pressing keys on the type
    cover wasn't registering any typing on my screen) and my USB mouse wasn't working either. I tried removing and reattaching the type keyboard but this didn't fix the issue. I had to use the accessibility on-screen keyboard to sign into Windows (thankfully touch
    was still working). Once I signed in, I still didn't have typing or cursor ability, so I decided to restart the computer.
    Then it got worse. I noticed the Surface Pro 3 was stuck on "restarting" and wouldn't
    actually restart. Since it wasn't responding, I held down the power button for about 10 seconds until it turned off. When I turned it back on, the type cover and mouse started working again.
    Unfortunately, this is when the WIFI problems began. I had WIFI for a few seconds, and then
    I lost internet. I disconnected/reconnected but there was a yellow triangle telling me there was some sort of problem. So I restarted the Surface Pro 3.
    When it came back on, there were suddenly NO connections available at all. Opening the "Network
    & Internet" settings page gave me the message "Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter". And here I am, without internet on my Surface Pro 3, borrowing my friend's computer so I can type this message (he is also running
    Windows 10 build 9926 on his laptop and is able to connect to my WIFI with no problems, whereas my Surface Pro 3 cannot even detect any networks). I have not dropped or damaged the SP3 in any way, and there have been no storms or power outages or anything
    of that sort. Any ideas what could have happened to the WIFI on my Surface Pro 3?
    Thanks for your help...
    Ethan

    Hi Ethan,
    Currently, there are a few compatibility issue between the current hardware and Windows 10 Technical Preview (9926 build), this is mostly related to driver compatibility issue.
    I suggest you download the latest network adapter driver package to install, when it is finished, check if it appears under Device Manager.
    Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 2, and Surface Pro firmware and driver packs
    https://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/networking-and-connectivity/install-wireless-drivers
    You can check if you can install the latest firmware package for your device.
    Here is an article to talk about such things:

  • Windows did not detect any networking hardware, Windows 7, New Hard Drive

    Message "Windows did not detect any networking hardware"
    Satellite P505 S8980 Windows 7 Home Premium.
    I replaced the Toshiba 500 GB HD with 500 GB Seagate.
    Device Manager icon for any device with yellow exclamation mark,
    Click on "Update Driver".  Lan eNet details as follows:
    Antheo - R8132 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20)
    Browse to the folder where the setup program has the driver...
    Message: "The best driver software is already installed."
    (But the yellow exclamation mark still harasses me.)
    --- Go to "Setup new connection" ---
    "Choose a connection option"
    Click on "Connect to the Internet"
    Response: "Windows did not detect networking hardware"
    As near as I can tell, that translates from error 0x8E5E0247
    I have this same error on other yellow exclamation marks respective of what kind of device it is.
    => To test my sanity, I put the old hard drive (same size) back in and except for the impact of slowness due to error retries, everything works okay.
    Note:
    Same issue (hardware not detected) for Video adapter and Audio.
    I bought new USB Wireless adapter to test, and the driver installed but not activated because "not digitally signed", and that same issue fits all the above hardware.  I down loaded them from Toshiba, and they are confirmed installed, but not accepted with digitally signed.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled with same results.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I'm discovering I am not as well as I thought... running on the  AF hard drive which was built with a copy drive from old format drive which was the product of system recovery disc set.
    Review for context: Advanced Function HDD
    Scenario that exposes harm caused by cloning data from 4K blocks drive to 512 bytes blocked drive (AF)
    Toshiba supplied Windows-7 System Restore Discs: to factory state
    Then I built the Windows-7 Repair  Disc... used later.
    Hard drive was replaced when it caused SMART warning at every system boot.
    Acronis was only utility that quickly detected problem (3 sectors had permanent read errors.) Active@Disk Image and Power Quest Drive Image (Ghost) did not detect the issue.
    I tried Seagate 500 GB and Western digital 500 GB HDD drives as copy target.
    That new drive would not boot: "Required source not found"
    Booted My newly created Windows-7 repair disc, and used to to fix startup.
    See images.
    That worked and then the ST9500423AS disc booted.
    Now... next day I discovered Window Update is not working.
    I get message:
    Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You need to restart your computer.
    I ran Microsoft Fixit for updates.  It says it fixed two items.
    I still have the problem.
    The service shows "started"
    Control Panel/ ACTION Center/ Maintenance/ Check for Updates
     "No action needed"
     "Windows Update does not require any action"
    I checked  Update History...
    ... It is empty, else window is vacant... blank.
    Soooo..... for a sanity check, I swap out hard drive; go back to the old format (which is the one I copied).
    It works!  7 updates to install, including SP1... but I did NOT install them.
    Switch back to the AF drive... Update doesn't work. I am broke again.
    Is this another strange problem caused by the Advance Format issue?
    What to do?
    By the way... I did install an Intel storage Matrix driver  update, but I do not have RAID chip, so that driver is not for me... unless I missed out on something.

  • Lenovo M90Z Not Detect WIFI Adapter

    Dear Forum
    I have problem with my Lenovo Thinkcentre M90Z.
    Recently, the Wifi Card was not detect any wifi signal available in the near site.
    I trying to uninstall the driver to solve the problem.
    But unfortunatelly, after unisntall the Wifi adapter dissapear from the network adapter list.
    I have try re-isntall the driver but no result.
    Also try to re-attach the WIFI card to the slot, but it still not recognized by the OS.
    Any solution for this problem?
    Here the screen capture of the device manager and the network adapter list :

    Have you tried Safe mode with Networking? Check if the adapter is being detected in Safe mode. You can reboot in Safe Mode by pressing the 'F8' key repeatedly as soon as you turn on the computer. If you're using Windows 8, refer to this link for how to start your system in Safe Mode:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode
    If the adaptor is being detected in Safe Mode, try updating the drivers and uninstalling any new hardware or software that you might have installed recently. If it still doesn't work, try doing a system restore back to the point when the adaptor was detected.
    If the adaptor is still not getting detected even in Safe Mode, it's probably a faulty adaptor, or it might not be connected properly on the mother board. You might have to open the system to check the connections. Keep in mind that opening the system up might void your warranty if the system is still in warranty.

  • Windows 7 will not detect the wireless adapter on my Dell D610 laptop

    Windows 7 will not detect the wireless adapter on my Dell D610 laptop
    Any workaround?

    hey guys.... i believe i have some light for you all. I gave my daughter a D610 which came pre-installed with Linux (ubuntu). She did not like it so i loaded windows 7 and guess what? no wifi.
    Unknown Device listed on device manager. to make the story short, after almost returning the laptop and spending 2 days looking for drivers everywhere I decided to reload Ubuntu because the wifi always worked. Then going a little deeper inside linux hardware
    specs I listed all the hardware using the command lshw from linux shell and what shows up as wifi interface? Atheros AR5001x.
    Problem was almost solved. The adventure now was find the driver for Atheros AR5001x that worked for windows 7. And now just to finish this story even faster, the diver is xp32-5.1.1.9.
    Unfortunately after downloading the driver I did not save the website. I have the file with me if you need.
    Just send me a message and i will be more than happy to email it to you.
    Happy New Year for all!!!!
