Ultrabay adapter - HDD doesn't show up

I just bought a new ultrabay adapter for my Thinkpad T400. I put a brand new Toshiba 320GB HDD in it and place into the laptop. The HDD is from another laptop but is still brand new, I bought it from my mate who installed a SSD in his newly bought laptop. 
Anyways, when I placed the ultrabay adapter in the laptop with the new HDD I got a message that Windows 7 was installing drivers for the new Toshiba drive, standard procedure. But I don't see anything in My Computer.
The HDD shows up in Device Manager but not in My Computer. See screenshot.
I tried following these instructions with no luck. I also tried updating the BIOS with no luck.
The light on the adapter doesn't turn on - perhaps it's somehow switched off?
Please help...
Solved!

Nevermind. I solved the problem. I used Partition Wizard Home Edition to see the disk and created a new NTFS partition on the HDD and assigned a drive letter to it.
Figured I would post the solution here if someone would experience a similar problem.

    tried another cable (from a camera) with no joy. However after turning off TM and searching for the EHD and not finding it, I revisited Disk Utility and can 'see' it there. The bad news is that it says,

  • External HDD doesn't show on finder.

    Hello community!
    My friends MacBook Air is not recognizing the HDD.
    The HDD works through USB and used to work on her's iMac.
    Tried to go to the disk utility and the disk doesn't show up there, neither on finder.
    Regrards,
    Rui

    If the drive has more than one interface (USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA), try one of the other interfaces.
    Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
    Try a different cable.
    If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
    If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
    Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
    Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
    If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
    Boot into Recovery and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
    Start up in Safe Mode and test.
    Reset the System Management Controller
    If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive has failed. You may be able to salvage the mechanism by removing it from the enclosure and installing it in another one, or in a drive dock.

  • Camera Adapter Kit-Doesn't Show Videos

    I've been using my camera adapter kit to put photos from my camera, into my iPad but it doesn't show the videos I've recorded. I tried deleting all the pics from my camera and just leaving the one video I want to transfer but the iPad shows:"No photos to import"
    I'm using a Sony digital camera that records video in MPEG-4 format. Any suggestions? (I transfered the video to my Dell laptop, no problem)

    From the error message you are getting there is a DCIM folder on the storage media. Therefore, two possible problems. One is that specific format of the MPEG-4 videos is not compatible with the iPad. There are many variations in MPEG-4 file formats and the iPad will not play all of them. The other is that the video file is not in the DCIM folder.
    When you look at the file structure of the storage media with your computer where is the video file located? If you take the video file off the camera and into your computer and then add the video to your iPad via syncing does your iPad play it?

  • EBay Ultrabay adapter reporting SATA I with OEM Seagate 500gig HDD installed

    I purchased -THIS- recently and when I installed it along with the OEM 500GB Seagate HDD (which is SATA II), RST is only reporting it as operating at SATA I (1.5 Gb/sec).  I then removed the HDD from the adapter and put it back into the main spot and RST then correctly reported it as a SATA II drive.   
    Have any of you come across this when using similar eBay Ultrabay adapters?  I am thinking about trying another one on eBay, but don't know if I want to take the chance or not.  Has anybody purchased a Ultrabay adapter off of eBay and having it report the correct SATA interface for an OEM SATA II HDD?
    BTW, I have a W520
    thanks!

    I'd like to confirm JRHawk9's comments. The HDD in the internal bay reports SATA-300/Sata 2, but in the UltraBay reports SATA-150/Sata 1. This is wrong. Bottom line, if I put a SATA 2 device into a SATA 3 connector, it should be reported as a SATA 2 device.
    I have also conducted some performance benchmarks against the HDD in both locations. For large file transfers, the speeds are the same. However, for small file I/O (clearly the norm for most computers), the HDD on a SATA 2 connector (the internal HDD bay in this case), was between 5 - 30% faster.
    While neither bay saturated the SATA 1 spec, clearly the HDD properly detected as a SATA 2 device allowed it to perform more small file I/O.
    What's wrong here? Why doesn't the Lenovo W520 properly detect the OEM Seagate 500GB drive as SATA 2?  BTW, I've contacted Seagate; they tell me it's Lenovo's fault. With the evidence provided here, I have to agree.

  • My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more.

    My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more. Was working while watching a movie but when I pulled it out from the computer and put it back in the system would no longer mirrorr the screen on the TV.

    The best option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  The evaluation will be for FREE!

  • Adapter Engine monitoring doesn't show messages

    I have 2 scenarios
    1. Synch HTTP -> Synch RFC
    2. Synch HTTP -> Synch BPM -> Synch RFC
    In case 1 Adapter Engine monitoring shows all messages correctly
    In case 2 there is no entry for HTTP Sender system only BPM->SAP System.
    Could you help me why RWB doesn't show it?

    denis,
    just to add to what moorthy has told. IDOC and HTTP adapters interact directly with the INTEGRATION ENGINE on the ABAP STACK while, the other adapters interact with the ADAPTER ENGINE available on the J2EE STACK.
    That is why, you do not gind the same on the RWB --> ADAPTER MONITORING.
    Also, the reason why you do not have a SENDER HTTP and IDOC adapter.

  • Z60m Ultrabay Adapter for HDD

    Hello all,
    i'm looking for an Ultrabay adapter for HDD to extend my Z60m-system.
    At the lenovo-website, I found an adapter that sould, according to the description, fit into my system.
    Ultrabay Adapter
    Has anyone experience with this model?
    My second question is:  What is the maximum HDD-size (GB) that can I use there?
    In the specifications of the Z60-models, I found the information, that the system is limited to a maximum HDD-capacity of 100GB, or did I misunderstand that?
    Hard drive features:
    Standard 40GB, 60GB, 80GB, or 100GB hard drive sizes
    Specifications Z60
    Do I have to consider this restriction at the "primary HDD-Slot" AND the Ultrabay-HDD-Slot ?
    Thank you.
    Geetings
    Cypher

    the Z60 uses SATA hdd, so anything in 2.5 inch and 9.5 mm thickness format is okay, currently 640 gig is the largest. 
    Lenovo's figure are based on the largest hdd that was available when they released the machine, they don't update these value when new parts come out.

  • RMBP doesn't show correct 'available HDD space'

    Hi,
    I'm using rMBP 15" early 2013 with OSX 10.9.5. My problem is (for a while) OSX doesn't show correctly my available HDD space. It is internal 256 GB SSD. How can i know that it doesn't show correctly? Because my Disk Utility says 69.64 GB free space but my Finder says 92.14 GB (Huge difference) ! Also my PC partition tells about different story but i don't care it (Who cares silly billy Windows? ) My guess is Disk Utility says correct.
    This problem started with Diablo III. I installed it (13 GB download for a patch !!! c'mon Blizzard) and after that my Finder starts to lie to me (Before installation, both Disk utility and Finder says 101 GB approx.
    Any idea?

  • Lenovo ThinkPlus TP Drive adapter Ultrabay Slim-HDD 2,5 with T40

    I am planning to buy Lenovo ThinkPlus TP Drive adapter Ultrabay Slim-HDD 2,5 for my refurbished T40. Are there any limitations for disk to be used with mentioned adapter ? e.g. Can I have 320 GB disk in this adatper ? I am asking because internaly I cannot have bigger disk then 80 GB (120 GB was not working)
    Thanks
    Jan

    You must have been doing something wrong with that 120GB drive, because there's no reason for it not to work. These machines take 160GB with no problems...been there, done that.
    Hope this helps.

  • WD Hard Drive, doesn't show up on MacBook 2.0ghz

    The new Macbooks do not have firewire, only usb, which is odd for $12000 comp. But when I plug my harddrive into the macbook it doesn't show up. Why is this? Help!

    I think you mean $1200, not $12,000. If you needed an FW port, you'd need to upgrade to the MacBook Pro or downgrade to the previous MacBook. Does the external HDD work on another computer? Can you try another USB port? Does the HDD need an AC adapter?
    On second thought, this is the Time Machine forum. Are you saying it doesn't show up as a TM backup destination? If that is the case, perhaps the drive is not properly formatted. It needs to be formatted HFS+ (Mac OS- Extended Journaled).

  • T61 and SATA Ultrabay adapter

    Over the course of several months and with different versions of Windows, I've tried to get my T61 (8891) to work properly with the SATA Ultrabay adapter. 
    With some SATA drives, it seems to _almost_ work - it will be recognized properly and even read the file system, but there is still enough of a glitch that files get corrupted. 
    On my most recent attempt and with most previous attempts, the Ultrabay and main HDD LEDs just light up solid and the drive in the Ultrabay is never recognized at all.  My most recent try was with a Seagate ST9500420ASG.  I did try limiting the speed to 1.5 using a jumper on the drive, but that didn't make any difference.
    I am able to use PATA drives in the PATA Ultrabay adapter just fine - no problems at all.
    This is a pretty big limitation, though, because all the new faster and higher capacity drives are SATA in addition to all SSDs being SATA.
    Has anyone else had a similar problem?  Any help appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Kevin,
    Thanks for the suggestion.  Unfortunately I've tried several times with drives formatted or cloned first in USB enclosures, but none of them have worked properly.
    Some drives do seem to work better than others.  I have had marginal success with a couple of drives in that it will read the file system and the Ultrabay drive access light doesn't stay on constantly.  However, there still seems to be an issue with even these drives.
    For most drives I've tried, the drive is not recognized at all and / or the Ultrabay HDD access LED lights up constantly, which can't be good.
    It appears that Lenovo has sold promoted and sold hardware that is not actually compatible, at least with some T61s.  It is listed as compatible with my T61 (8891-CTO), but has never worked properly.  I even ordered and tried another Ultrabay SATA adapter thinking something might be wrong with that particular adapter, but neither one works properly.
    Thanks,
    Michael

  • Is there a way to "force-mount" an external drive that doesn't show up on it's own when plugged in with firewire?

    Hi, is there a way to "force-mount" an external drive that doesn't show up on the desktop? I have a new Hitachi SATA III 2 TB Ultrastar that won't show up like all the other drives when plugged in. So I can't partition, repair, format etc with Disk Utility, Disk Drill, Tech Tools etc. How do I make it visible?
    I use the FW 400 to 800 adapter and a FW hub.

  • BPEL Console doesn't show any instances created

    Hi,
    We are using file protocol to read the files from trading partner into B2B. File is successfully processes by B2B. I can see that in reports.
    Then I have defined a BPEL process to Dequeue the messages from B2B using AQ Adapter, transforms and places the files in the local file system.
    The BPEL process is simple flow with one receive , transform and invoke activity.
    I have configured AQ adapter using WSIF browser. I can see the deployed document definition in browser.
    I have the TP agreement deployed, BPEL process deployed, but I don't see the 850 file processed. BPEL Console doesn't show any instances created. How would I know where what went wrong?
    Please help.

    Try using java oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.data.IPDequeue to dequeue the message and see if you can dequeue
    Then you'l be able to pin point if the issue is with your BPEL or with B2B Queue's
