View 5 RepliesI have a Dell XPS 8300. I just threw a Hitachi Deckstar 4TB drive in. It shows as 4TB in the BIOS. But in the disk management tool, it's only showing up as 1.7! I have 24X3TB (yes, 72TB) of drives attached via USB3, and they're showing just fine, so it's not the 2TB limit.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOK, I have an ASUS P5k Pro with the latest BIOS installed with Window 7 Pro 64 BIT. I just bought 2 SATA 1T Hitachi drives (HDS7210CLA332). All sata drives are set o IDE in the BIOS.
At first I added the two drives to my existing Windows 7 installation and all seemed fine, but I did notice that it installed some sort of driver, but couldn't figure out what it was. The drives were recognized after I did a reboot. (The same thing happen in XP SP3 as well.)
I decided to install windows 7 on one of the new drives (after all it was newer and faster), I partition the harddrive to about 500 megs, formatted the partition using window 7 setup (booting up from the DVD), the OS installed, I then let Window 7 do the updates, was forced to reboot, I then get an error that it couldn't find a bootable drive on boot up.
So I reran windows setup tried recover to fix the drive, same error, so went to reinstall window 7 again, this time it told me it could not install the drive on the partion.
So, rebooted back with my original Win7 installation and all was fine with the drives as extra drives in my system.
Anyone have any ideas?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI was importing Pix from my Kodak Easy Share camera. After doing that, I unplugged my USB plug, but inadvertently unplugged my Ext HD USb plug(formerly Drive F). I then removed the USB for the camera and then plugged in the HD USB plug.
My computer now showed my Camera as an external device. I uninstalled it. I turned off the computer, but still I can't access the F drive. Finding the device via Ctrl Panel doesn't help either.
I downloaded the iso image that is to be made in a bootable CD , but i want to burn it to a usb stick (i never got a working bootable CD in the past to work and i'd rather not waste 10+ cd's again).Either i get "disk error" when i boot from usb or just a pulsing.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just recently bought a new system and while installing Windows 7 Ultimate x64, I noticed that the hard drive was only using 2tb's of space. After some checking I found out the window's will only be able to use 2tb's unless I use the Hitachi's disk management tool to open the additional 1tb. Now the problem I am having is that the tool notes I need to convert the drive from MBR Disk to GPT Disk.
I was found several ways of doing this but none give me any information on how to do this if the drive itself is the primary boot drive for the PC. Unfortunately I don't have another hard drive or PC to throw the new one in just for the time being (I am assuming that this is one way to resolve this).Basically it doesn't let me convert the hard drive to GPT unless it is empty (again, I am assuming the OS needs to be gone as well).
I have a Hitachi HTS545050B9A300 500gb HDD and was wondering If I am able to use the Hitachi Drive Fitness Test software with my x64 processor? I know that it says it is only compatible with an x86 architecture,but what are my alternatives besides a CHKDSK?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a WD 500GB HDD plugged into my PC via USB, the drive was brand new and had a 90GB partition and a 410GB partition on it, I formatted the larger partition with Partition Wizard and now in disk management the drive only shows as 90GB, there is no unallocated space where the partition was before. I've run 5 different partition recovery tools (Partition Wizard, Acronis True Image WD, Easus Partition Recovery, Partition Table doctor, Active Partition Recovery) but none of them can see anything more than 90GB, what's happened to the rest of it and how can I recover it?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently bought an HP Elite Book and I decided to pick up an OCZ Vertex 3 for the computer (120GB SSD). I normally use Norton Ghost for a lot of things I do so I decided to use Ghost to Image the OEM HDD that came with the laptop too the SSD. I went in used the command prompt screen to use the switch -ntexact so it would work, did Disk -> Disk image and ran the process. Now when the unit boots with the SSD in it, it's getting hung up on the starting Windows 7 Screen.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Hitachi 2TB Hard drive with about 1.2 TB worth of data (it was my data drive for my SSD). I've recently had to temporarily move motherboards (from a Z77 Motherboard to a Dell Foxconn from 2007). However, I can't use my SSD on the Foxconn (G33M) so I made a 500GB partition to use for WIn7 until I get my mobo back. However, I can't install because Windows keeps saying I can't install on a GPT partition. Before I would just change the mboo into EFI/UEFI mode to fix it, but my 2007 board doesn't support it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have Windows 7 64 bits in a DELL Laptop Latitude E4300 working fine (more or less). I just plugged into it a USB HD from iomega with 500 GB capacity. I can see this disk without problems in all my XP (32 bits) based systems. But not on Windows 7. When I try to open it I get the error message:
Cannot access F:
The archive is damaged or inaccessible
I know the disk is fine. I have in this very same computer vmware installed with Ubuntu 64 bits where I can mount the HD and see it without problem (?) but not in the host Windows 7 system. I saw a driver installation message the first time I plugged into the laptop on Windows 7 but clearly, this was incorrect.
Should I uninstall the driver and get it from somewhere else other than the default place (which did not seem to work well)?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI was playing Mass Effect earlier. Got off because of school, so i put it to sleep. When i returned home, I tried getting on steam. The path wasn't found, so I didn't think anything of it. Rebooted. Still no path, so i go to my slave HDD, and surprise! It wasn't there for some reason. I've looked for it in disk management; no where to be found. Ran seatools, no luck. I had around 300 GiGs on there.I also turned off the laptop, took out the battery, and both master and slave drives for an hour. NOTHING.
EDIT: when i check disk management, it seems there is a drive of some sort on there, but it has no name.. It's blank. Nothing but *Status* has any information: "Healthy (OEM partition)." When i try to right click, the menu only has a "Help" tab.

View 4 Replies View RelatedOriginally got message - Disk read error occurred press ctl alt del to restart. Then tried plugging this drive using a USB connector into my desktop PC to see if I could run some chkdsk. Then my desktop PC displayed messages telling me my firewall and virus software had been turned off and the computer crashed. ROOTKIT? So I was left with 2 drives not working. I re installed windows on desktop but using ISO on flash drive BUT can't on the 500GB Hitachi HTS545050B9SA00 for some reason. Windows setup loaded and Deleted old partitions and formatted. When I tried to install, it froze. It now just boots up with a windows loading screen and I'm also unable to boot from flash drive as it freezes. This is on a Sony Vaio VPCEB4E4E.

I'm trying to install a Western Digital RE3 500GB SATA Drive on to the System but the Latest Version 2.15A of the 786C1 Bios is listing the drive at 0.0 MB and Windows 7 doesn't see the drive at all. I'm trying to install Windows 7.
The WDC Site recommends that I contact my motherboard manufacturer, so I'm following their recommendation and posting my request for a DC7100 SATA Driver for a WDC RE3 Drive here.
I've been to the Intel site and there doesn't seem like there is a proper Windows 7 Update for the ICH6R Controller since the Intel® 82801 FB/FR I/O controller has been discontinued.
I want to download the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager Floppy Configuration Utility dated 7/2009 from the Intel site, but I need confirmation from HP Support that this utility will work with a DC7100 with he Latest Version 2.15A of the 786C1 Bios for a Win 7 install.

How do I get it back?
My 750gb hard disk is failing on a HP laptop that came preloaded with Windows 7 home prem. I have a SMALLER excellent 500gb, 7200 rpm hard disk that I'd like to replace the failing hard disk with. I've read that my Windows 7 System Repair DVD will not restore my recent system image (on NAS) to a smaller partition. The C:partition on the failing drive is well over 600gb but can shrink to 300gb. QUESTION Can I restore a system image from my larger drive "as is". If not, and I shrink my C: partition (contain windows) ay 350GB will I be able to restore the system image to where windows will boot?I have an old copy of (7.0) partition magic that I used to resize partitions on XP machines Can this old 32 bit partition magic safely resize my C: partition. If so, and I create a new system image can I restore it to the new disk?
