Hard Disk Drive Not Recognized During XP Or Win 7 Setup

Nov 12, 2009

I recently purchased a WD Scorpio Black 320GB 2.5" HDD for my Gateway MX6920 notebook. I wanted to upgrade to this larger, faster HDD and replaced it into my notebook and attempted to install Windows 7. During setup it stopped and gave the error 0xc00000e9 for "unplugging a removable storage device such as an external USB drive ......".

I tried installing Windows XP and it gets to a blue screen to choose a Repair of Windows or a fresh install. Choosing either one returns a blue screen that says system can not find a Hard disk connected.

I put this drive into an enclosure and formatted it in another computer. Also it is recognized in BIOS. I'm running BIOS version 77.08 if relevant.

External Drive Not Recognized In XP Now Disk Structure Corrupted / Unreadable

Jan 15, 2013

We had an external USB drive with tons of media files on it connected to computer A running Windows 7 Pro SP1. The drive was safely removed and connected to another computer that was running Windows XP Pro 2002 SP3. I was told that the drive was not recognized in XP and that it was disconnected (I cannot say for sure "Safely") and returned to the Windows 7 computer. Once the drive came up I get the following:

K: is not accessible. The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable.

I know every drive fails eventually and I'm not sure how old this drive is. Any utilities to use to try and repair the file structure. I have only tried rebooting the Windows 7 computer and that did not change anything.

I'm adding a third disk to my PC and am unable to get to a point where Win 7 recognizes the hardware with a drive letter. The Device Mgr says there are three hard drives attached and the Storage Controller tab recognizes the Marvel 91XX chipset and says the driver for the Sata III Ports is installed.

WD 2TB External HDD Is Not Recognized Under Disk Managment

Dec 23, 2012

My external HDD (A WD 2TB My Book) just up and quit on me while I was using it today. My computer was no longer recognizing it, and I could no longer access my files. My computer still acknowledges it under drivers however, and it claims all the drivers are up to date and that the device is working properly. I tried going into to Disk Management to see if I could do anything from there, but it isn't even recognized there. There is however a Disk 1 but it is unknown and not initialized. I'm assuming this is my external HDD since its the only external disk I've used on my computer. When I tried to initialize it, it failed due to an I/O device error although the error prompt didn't refer to any specific problem.

Second Hard Disk Not Recognized For Install?

Jan 11, 2013

I have 3 internal drives. Drive C has Windows 7 installed. Drive F I use as a backup. I'm trying to install Windows Server 2008 on Drive E. Drive E has been formatted, shows up in Windows Explorer, takes data, etc., but it does not show up as an available disk for the install process. The other 2 show up as install options but not Drive E. I've unplugged, rebooted, unplugged Drive F, booted from CD, and the drive will not appear but appears in Explorer.

External Disk Not Recognized By Windows 7/8 And Is Now In RAW Format?

Jan 27, 2013

I recently backed up about 500gb of recent work onto an external drive so I could clean my PC inside and out. I gave it a clean install of windows 7 and when it comes time to get my work of my external, the drive cannot be recognized and requires a reformat.It was working perfectly fine and I surely did not format the drive into a RAW file system. I tried plugging into my laptop running win8 and still the very same issue. I plugged it into a mac running the lastest mac os 10 and I can browse all my folders and see the files but I can't move/copy or open them. But at least I know all is not lost.

DVD Drive Not Recognized?

Jul 8, 2011

I'm having a bit of a problem with my DVD drives not being recognized. In a prior post, one of the fellows on this stream (Randy) solved the problem I'm having by suggesting that I edit the Upper and Lower Filters in the Registry. Unfortunately, I've lost this information. This time, I'll put it in a Jump Drive and lock in a safe!

Why Is SAN Drive Recognized As Local Drive While NAS Isn't

Aug 30, 2012

Why are SAN drives recognized as local drive while NAS drives aren't?I knew that SAN uses block level transfer to transfer data while NAS uses file level transfer. Does this has anything to do with why SAN drives and NAS drives are recognized differently by the computer?

Hard Drive Not Recognized?

Nov 28, 2011

After removing a virus, my 3rd hard drive is no longer being recognize. Myapologies if this should be in hardware, but I didn't know if it was something that had to do with windows 7The virus was anti-virus protection 2011.I used antizeroaccess, stopzilla,avg(which is my normal antivirus), malwarebytes, and kaperskyYes all of them. It was a nasty virus.My main hard drive c: shows up as well as my second drive. e:. My other drive used to show up as well as f: but since all of this it hasn't. Nothing else was changed besides resetting the cmos battery and a couple of disconnect reconnections, becasue the drive wasn't showing up.Ide channel 0 master and Ide channel 0 slave (set to cable select). are the 2 hd'sIde channel 4 is a disk drive.The 3rd HD is also set to cable select. but that shouldn't matter cause that's what it was set to before.I also tried another spare hard drive I had with the same connections as the 3rd hard drive ( marked as slave and cable select). It was not found either.not in my computer or in bios

Drive Recognized But Size Is 0?

Jul 30, 2010

I had Windows 7 installed under Western Digital 400 Gigabyte Driveat first I got the BCD error message so I tried a repair with the rescued disk. When I use the repair tool the drive is recognized as Windows 7 followed by the letters zero. If I boot to another drive both drives are listed but I cannot open the damaged drive and under properties it shows 0 GB. I tried using the command prompt and the bootrec commands and they appear to complete but still the drive will not boot and is listed as having 0 GB. I can not understand how I could have lost all the files unless the repair utility in trying to fix the disc wiped it clean.

what to do next short of reinstalling window seven.

Can't Get NEW Hard Drive To Be Recognized

May 23, 2009

I have THREE Hard Drives.

1) XP. Old PATA hard drive

2) Windows 7 SATA

3) New Hard Drive (E; with program files, back up, images, music.

Sorry, I had to edit this message as every time I went to type E colon, slash, it gave a smiley face. so the E; = E colon, slash to indicate E assigned hard drive letter, the new hard drive.

When I boot to XP with the new hard drive (E; shows up fine.

When I disconnect XP and boot to Windows 7, the new hard drive (E; shows that it installs fine (lower right in windows, shows that the OS see's it and says it installed fine), yet I cannot see it.

The configuration that does not work is two (2) SATA drives, one with Windows 7, the other, the new hard drive.

To be sure, I disconnected the Windows 7, connected XP (PATA) and booted again, sure enough, the new hard drive (E; is fine and shows up.

I then disconnect and attach the Windows 7 hard drive with the new hard drive, (I even tried moving the SATA cable around) and Windows 7 boots fine, shows me that it installs the newly found hard drive (E; but does not show up on my computer.

Now, here is what may, or may not be a bug.

The new hard drive was formatted NTFS in WINDOWS XP, the drive letter assigned was E:, when I boot to Windows 7, I have a Virtual Clone Drive which also has the letter E: assigned to it. Could it be possible that Windows 7 does not know what to do since the Virtual Hard Drive was there first and therefore, doesn't show the new hard drive when running Windows 7?

I have tried everything I can to get it to be seen in Win 7 to no avail. Again, it works fine in XP, but does not show up in Windows 7.

Has anyone heard of this problem before? Do I need to rename, or assigned a different hard drive letter to E:? If so, how do I do that?

Buffalo 1tb USB Drive Not Recognized?

I've got a relatively new 1tb Buffalo drive connected to a Laptop.Its been working fine, but now Windows 7 wants to format it.On connecting the USB cable the disk spins up OK, but then the Win message comes up saying it wants to format the disk.I'm far less keen on reformating the disk than Microsoft are because there's data on the disk that I want to keep.

Flash Drive Not Recognized?

I installed the Chrome OS IMG file on my flash drive and tried to boot from it, but it turns out my flash drive is now un-recognizable. I tried assigning a different drive letter in computer management, but it doesn't show up there. Sometimes it will show up and Windows will say that I need to format it, but the format always fails.Other flash drives are recognized by my computer. I am using a Lexar Jump Drive, but I'm not sure what model it is.

CD Drive Not Recognized After Reboot

Dec 18, 2009

I'm using a Dell laptop Studio XPS 1640. Ok, I was about to upgrade to Windows 7 and it listed a couple of programs that needed to be deleted, so I uninstalled them. The 2nd or 3rd time I was required to restart my computer, it froze at the "Shutting Down..." screen for about 20 minutes. I waited and waited and decided to power down. I turned it back on, and it didnt say Windows was not shut down properly, so i figured it was ok.

However when I booted back up, I was going to eject and re-insert the upgrade CD. I hit eject, nothing happens. Hit eject again, nothing happens. I go to Computer to try and view the CD thats in my CD Drive....NOTHING SHOWS UP! MY CD drive is now UNRECOGNIZED by my computer! Now I cant complete the upgrade. Not to mention, the upgrade made me uninstall itunes and my virus protection, saying a new version will be installed automatically after the upgrade.

Hard Drive Not Recognized

Apr 25, 2011

I have two hard drives; an older 20gb hard drive that is was forced to use to install Windows 7 and a 1tb Seagate Constellation ES ST31000424SS SAS hdd. Neither my bios nor the disk manager in Windows 7 are recognizing the 1tb drive. I have checked and rechecked the connections and power and both seem fine. In all my computer has in it:

-Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R mother board
-8 gigs of ram
-an i7 quadcore bloomfield processor
-nvidia quadro workstation graphics card

This is my first build but i have been looking for some time at different threads and i can not find a solution to the problem. The Constellation is an SAS drive that I'm using a converter cable to change into SATA connections. The url for the converter is: [URL]
