X61: Can not see HD while installing OS W'XP from dock

Hi, all
I have X61 with Vista, and I'm trying to install new 320G HD with XP, so I swapped HDD, put unit in dock, got <Press any key to boot from CD>, got windows file loading, and after that I have message <hard drive can not be found>, not sure is it because of bad dock.
This situation happanes with old HDD with Vista too. in both cases I see that valid HDD0  description posted in BIOS.
I did basic troubleshooting, and see that I can play/control DVD drive on dock from  Vista setup no problem. No any security set in BIOS.  I'm going to try to use USB CD later today.
Appreciate you help.
Best
V

The easiest way to install XP on that system is to set the SATA in BIOS to compatability mode from AHCI.
F1 at boot to enter BIOS > Config > SATA.
Happy installing

    Hi folks, you might know how to fix this: my wifi shows (no hardware installed) then I went to system preferences and deleted the wifi connection, I went also to system information and I can not see wifi listed on Network, how can I create a new wifi or simply solve this, I have tryied shotdown pressing keys like P and R, option, etc. Please help me .

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Trying to install MS Office 2011 for Mac SP 2 on my Macbook Air (Lion 10.7.3). I have to close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent but can not see how to do so.  I have closed all applications.  Can anyone help? Many thanks

    Trying to install MS Office 2011 for Mac SP 2 (14.2.0) on my Macbook Air (Lion 10.7.3). I have to close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent but can not see how to do so.  I have closed all applications.  Can anyone help? Many thanks

    Thanks Kurt!  I had tried all that and had tried closing both programmes from the application monitor, but SyncServices Agent refused to close.  I tried closing Launchd which is their mother application, but that just caused the screen go go blank.  In the end the two programmes let themselves be closed next time I tried the installation process so all was well.  Thanks for your help!

  • Can not see some videos, Can not install Activex 9.o47

    My name is Alex, I have been working on getting flash to play
    for about 3 weeks.
    I have uninstalled both shockwave and flash many many times
    using all different sites. I have turned off my firewall,
    anti spy, and antivirus when downloading. I have shut
    everything down that was running. I have closed everything.
    I have restarted each time between downloads. I have then
    downloaded the install from many many sites. Closed everything, and
    installed.
    I have uninstalled from ADD/Remove. I have reinstalled. Now,
    when I go to ADD/Remove programs it shows that both Flash and
    Shockwave are there.
    Seriously, I have downloaded and uninstalled and installed so
    many times from so many sites.
    Each time the screen shows I have done it successfully. But I
    cannot get it to play. I have turned off all popup blockers that I
    know of.
    I still run my anti virus, firewall spyware etc. But says
    there is nothing to prevent Flash from playing some of the pages I
    use to see.
    I have done a Reg clean. And I have installed after all that
    and still does not work.
    I am the admin on the computer and I am the only one who runs
    it. I use firefox for my browser but I tried to get it in IE and
    still nothing.
    Everything was going absolutely fine till I done the stupid
    mistake of updating my Flash player,
    seen then my computer is going banana, I don't understand why
    is that,
    I can actually see U tube videos, but I can not see other
    videos like trailers from IMDB, <Your browser is blocking
    display of our video player. If you would like to see the video,
    please turn off any ad-blocking or Flash-blocking software that you
    are using>.
    That's what he said on the screen where the video suppose to
    play, I can only see advertising, It should be the other way
    around,
    and even the news on yahoo I can not see them, only ads.
    I had no problems before, no pop up I could see the videos
    absolutely fine and especially no ADS and then that days,
    I wish I could cancel that day, I'm try to fix this problems
    all ready 3 weeks and nothing, I did try everything but nothing.
    I have download flash Player 9.0.47.0 manage to install but
    found impossible to install Activex 9.0.47.0 seems to be impossible
    I do know why. disinstall everything reinstall but nothing,
    # Select Start.
    # Select Run.
    # Type cmd
    # In the command window, type the following:
    uninstall_flash_player.exe /clean
    The answer is: uninstall_flash_player.exe is not recognised
    as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.
    does not work, try million of time, does not work.
    Does anybody know why?

    Yes. Reinstall iTunes. If that is the point at which you stopped trying the support suggestions then it makes sense to me, that you move on to the next suggestion and if reinstalling iTunes is the next suggestion, so be it.
    However ....  I too have issues that arise out of the blue with my iPad being recognized in iTunes and what I always do and it eventually works is to quit iTunes, restart my MacBook, and reboot my iPad.
    Rebooting the iPad is the last thing that I do and only if I have no success with quitting iTunes and restarting the Mac. It may take a few tries to work, but if you are that dead set against reinstalling iTunes, then give it a try.

  • Although the Snow Leopard updated to 10.9.2 Maverisck, so I then installed FCPX 10.1 I can not pour 4k video on your computer because it can not see the Sony FDR Ax100e. Thing left for me to do?

    Sony has put in a position that the camera was connected with their software called PlayMemories Home . This then allows you to import movies and photos on the computer and then use them in different ways. However, when the camera is connected to the mac and I said Mass Storage USB Connected , then you execute this program I told you about two seconds later , however returns an error message that is: Connect the device to your computer or multimedia support . I do not understand .

  • When downloading is complete, I can not see, run, nor access the file; it only appears in the "Downloads" window (and not the specified folder) and the only options permitted are to delete it, or to go to the download web site; what's blocking it?

    My PC's OS is 'MS Windows Vista Home Premium'. As my initil question states: When downloading, after the download completes, I can not see, run, nor access the file in it's designated folder. The download only appears in the "Downloads" window and the only "Right Click" options permitted are to "Remove From List", "Select All", & "Copy Download Link" I also can not double click to run it. What's blocking it?
    I have a similar problem when accessing .zip files that are attachments to my emails. Here, however, I can place the file in a designated folder, however, the .zip file and it's compressed content files are file-typed as "FireFox Document" and I get permissions errors when running an unzip tool.
    Why are my download files being quarantined ??? Is there a security setting option I need to change???
    To get around this, I'm using IE to download and install these files, but switching back & forth between FireFox & IE is a real pain.

    It's your anti-virus not working correctly while scanning. You can turn off the option to scan in Firefox's '''about:config''' by filtering for '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' and double-clicking that line to change the value to '''false'''

  • Background, Images, & text is blacked out. I can not see any menus to edit anything... Help

    Background, Images, & text is blacked out. I can not see any menus to edit anything...
    The curser shows there are links when you move over. I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox and restarted my computer with no luck.
    I can not see the menus to try and reset Firefox or change any settings.
    HELP Please

    hello obrienn214, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
    in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

    Hi and Welcome to the Community! Please start with this:Article ID: KB05305 Localization support for BlackBerry smartphonesIf the language(s) you desire is(are) listed there, then it is a matter of obtaining the proper OS package, one which contains your desired language(s). Then, it is a matter of installing that to your device, and while doing so including the language(s) you desire. Lastly, it is a matter of activating, on your device, your chosen language(s). So, given that, can you explain more fully exactly what you attempted? From your brief words, I cannot determine what you did at each of those steps. Good luck and let us know!

  • Can not see the data in the grid

    Hi,
    nice to see the new features, but I can not see the the table inserts
    in the data grid - the <data> rider is not clickable.
    Regards

    Hi annerose,
    This problem has appeared in a few other threads. It's caused by installing Release 2 Raptor over Release 1 Raptor without first deinstalling Release 1 Raptor . So what you need to do is:
    1) Back up any important Raptor files, e.g. connections etc.
    2) Remove the existing Raptor Rel 1 installation folder
    3) Install Raptor Rel 2
    Hope this helps
