bad hdd, or you don't have the proper drivers, or it's not comnpatible with those systems

Sounds like a couple of old 72-pin SIMMs...unless someone has a 5 year old (or older) PC they need to keep running, that memory isn't worth anything.  Personally, I glued magnetic strips to some of my old memory & use them to hold documents on my white-board at work.   :o)\n\nLooks like maybe you'd get a buck or 2 on eBay...  (see link)

You probably have to name it as a "slave" in your BIO's...it is controlled with the controller from your main drive. Look in your help to locate the procedure to open your bios....be dang careful in there though.....\n\n\n=================

I'd hate to provide the alternative of installing it from the HP Recovery Console, but I think that would be the best idea. It sounds like there could be drivers and options in the disc that could be missing from your system, but I can't really tell what they would be without being able to deal with your system (And I'm pretty new to HP myself, so I probably still wouldn't know.) I know it's annoying since they load a bunch of crap from the factory back on the system, but I think it might be the safest way to restore your system back to working condition.\n\nMaybe someone else has a suggestion of how to get it done without doing this?

The disc is either not formatted or bad or the floppy drive is bad.  The floppy disc maybe mac formatted NOT PC formatted or visa versa.  Hope this answers your question.

There is nothing else you need to do. It should have worked. \n\nTry to see if the drive is visible from the bios when you start the system. It might be that there is a conflict with some other device that is sharing the same IDE cable. Try changing it from master to slave or the opposite! (there is a little jumper on the back of the drive for doing this).

When you look at the existing cable in your PC, your see a tail hanging off the existing drive - this is for the new drive.  Before you install it, go to the back of the new drive and set it to slave - its hard to see but its on the drive.  Connect it up and look for another power supply - you might have to format it but it should work fine.

I couldn't find any English assistance when I did a search on the file in Google, and the file is not on my PC. What is your F:&#92; drive though.  maybe that will give us some insight.

The first- and second- generation iMacs (CRT models) are a pain to take apart (but I have ripped open my Bondi Blue several times anyway!).  The hard drive is at the very bottom of the case, so you must unscrew the bottom half from the top (monitor), then remove the motherboard + daughtercard, then remove CD-ROM, and then finally you will have access to the hard drive.  Check out this link for some very helpful pics and instructions when taking apart and re-assembling...\n\nhttp://www.macworld.com/2001/10/bc/howtoimac/

you need to call ebay or write to them that you didn't recieve a disk or program with instructions. or u can try to wait on someone that might have it Good luck

From your question, I don't find any problem on it. Your disk is working fine. Things to take note - when installing new hard drive, especially SATA disk, Windows 98/Me/2000/XP requires additional driver to help it read the hard disk's chipset.\n\nIf you self-assembled your system, you should notice there's a floppy drive/driver CD OEM from your motherboard supplier. Install the driver while your SATA disk still attached. Use the User's Manual to guide yourself when installing the driver. Make sure you successfully install the driver. After wards, everything will be fine.\n\nIf you bought your system from the vendor, there's a bit different. They should equip you with software/drivers/documentation for your self-keeping. If you are missing any of these, please consult your vendor. Perhaps you may request them to configure the SATA for you - with a little charge of course!\n\nHope this help.

Just burn it as a data cd. It should be fine you should be able to re-install it from the disk you make. Also put a word file with the serial if it required a serial # to install a full version on the cd as well. Thanks

It is probably simply a problem with the hard drive, like the computer says. Check to make sure that the connections are all good, and if this does not work, send it back for a replacement.

if it was already installed, such as (oem), and you have no start up disk, I`m afraid you have a problem.\nIf you bought it secondhand, (try to contact seller), or new, (contact seller), dont fancy your chances though.\ngood luck.

swears she never had problems with it? theres your answer. you got scammed buddy. i suggest you throw it out tha window. theres no hope. you could buy a brand new one for cheaper than what it will cost you for the computer nerds to fix.

I have been building computers for several years now, and as far as I know nobody offers this package of items.\n\nIn fact at school when they taught us about installing motherboards they told us to save all extra parts, especially the stand-offs and spacers and that the Jumpers were like gold, to always keep the extras for when a computer component like a hard-drive needed another one.\n\nTo solve you problem, check with local computer repair places like BestBuy and CompUSA, they have drawers full of these items, and I get jumpers from them when I need them and they barrow what I have that they need at the time.

If the unit failed a S.M.A.R.T. test then every time you start it and attempt to use it, you run a risk of causing more damage to it.\nThere are a number of possibilities, but generally speaking S.M.A..R.T. functions are hardware embedded controls designed to predict a drives eminent failure.\nTo be blunt (and please if you care about whats stored on your book please take me seriously here.)\nDo as the above poster suggested, get the drive to another computer using a caddy of some method and back it up immediately. Don't attempt to get everything on the drive , just what you truly need. Every attempt to write to it can cause a daisychain effect and if that happens you'll see your file table fall apart till you can get nothing. \nIf the drive is not readable in another machine, (and I know this is going to sound nuts) but place it in an antistatic bag and store it in the freezer for 12-24 hours.  \n(DO not place your entire notebook in the freezer.  Just the HDD)\nIt would take too long for me to explain exactly how this benifits the drive but on many occasions Ive managed to get a drive to read one or two more times before it finally died using this method.\n\nIf your work is at a critical stage, then I would recomend replacing the drive first then focusing on your data.  That will at the very least give you a usable system to perform some of these tasks with.  Notebook hard disks are not terribly difficult to replace.  They require no special jumper settings and usually the hardware installation instructions can be found online at the manufacturers support site.\nNewegg, CompUSA, Ebay vendors, Justdeals.com and other retailers sell notebook drives if you are at a loss as to where to pick one up.\nAbove all else, get your data safe.
