http://www.daniweb.com – I purchased a 1.5TB seagate drive about a month ago, this drive was placed in a USB caddie so that i could transfer data onto it from different sources before i fitted it to my computer. I have 2 other drives in the computer which are IDE, this drive i fitted into an internal SATA slot- (before it was fitted its drive letter assignement was removed) OS- XP with SP3 Bios sees the drive device manager sees the drive the small "safely remove hardware" icon comes up (not sure why?) Disk management doesnt see the drive, explorer doesnt see the drive.... Also the drive wasnt seen whilst it was still in the caddie when i connected it to the pc useing USB (General)

Stories similar to SATA HDD not seen in disk manager

I was installing 9.04-server on a couple of Supermicro 6016T-NTF machines yesterday and tried to do a very standard RAID-1 mirror of the two drives I put in the box. Everything seems to work as far as booting and running but the "drive fail" LED blinks red on the second drive (in SATA port order) immediately after the kernel starts booting (fine during grub or booting off CD).

have an Dell Optiplex GX280 with 4 SATA drives, 2 connected to the motherboard, and 2 connected to a Rosewill RC-212 VIA PCI SATA 1.5G / IDE ATA 133 Controller Card. After a crash and a re-install of Ubuntu 9.1, drive 1 on the Rosewill card didn't appear in the places menu, but Disk utility showed the drive unrecognized.

Hi,

I had put a second Sata hard drive in my computer and was pleasantly surprised not to run into any problems. No BIOS changes, just start the partitioner, partition, mount, it worked.

I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 on a SATA III drive however the installer will not recognize my drive in the guided (dual-boot) install.

My laptop has two hard drive bays, and just recently I added a second SATA drive (moved it from my old laptop) to the extra bay.Now, anytime the second hard drive /dev/sdb has any heavy disk activity, it appears to cause a shutdown of the SATA port for the first drive (/dev/sda)!  Though the second drive is still fine, and I can still write to it until the system crashes from the root drive (

I run a small home server with one IDE drive (for the system) and a few SATA drives (for a software RAID).

The IDE drive used to be at /dev/hda and the SATA drives at /dev/sd*. After a power outage the IDE drive claims to be /dev/sde and wreaks havoc with my RAID.

How do I get my IDE drive to behave well again?

Hi, I just bought a 500 gß HDD (Seagate 7200 spin, SATA), with the goal of loading my media on it, to be read both by Win 7 and Kubuntu. The drive would not format in Win 7, so I used Gparted in Kubuntu Live to try and format the drive. Originially formatted to NTFS, but upon rebooting windows, it said the drive was write protected.

I think this is simple, but want to make sure I am doing everything right.

I have a fresh 12.04 install on my 750GB sata internal drive.

I have purchased and installed an additional 1TB sata internal drive.

I would like to use that drive for storage of larger files and directories.

I understand how to use disk manager and gparted, but I do not understand all the choices.

[ubuntu] Help with SATA wire 44 weeks 6 days ago

Let me try to explain properly here and see if you can help me. My old HP laptop crapped out after I had a new HDD installed. The new HDD was Linux based and had Ubuntu as an op sys (which I loved). So before getting rid of the laptop I removed the drive. Yesterday I bought an Apricorn SATA Wire USB to hook to it so that I can get the 7600 songs that are on that drive OFF of it.
