HD appears in Device Manager, not Disk Management

[Ofer_Brum]

Hi to all,

I have a Compaq SCSI HD that fails to start, giving an 'NTDLR is missing' message. After several attemps, I then moved it to my Dell PC. On restrat, I see the SCSI disk listed, but the message sais 'MPT Boot Rom. No supported device found'. I can also see the SCSI disk in the MPT SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility of my Dell machine.

In Windows, the SCSI HD appears in Device Manager (of my Dell computer), but not in Disk Management console and not under My Computer. Looking at the SCSI disk properties 'Volumes' tab (see attached), shows Type-Unknown, Status-Unreadable.

Any ideas?

Kind Regards,
Ofer Brum, Israel.

Did you install the SCSI drivers on the other machine ? ?

Hi,

The SCSI controller and HD drivers all seems up to date and appears to function OK. Status tab states both devices are working properly.

Can it be the SCSI disk is fault?

It appears from your image that HDD is empty...
Did it ever have anything on it ? ?
If so was it subject to a power loss or other mishap ? ?

Hi,

Thanks for your help  

This SCSI HD is the primary disk of my other PC. It was working fine until one day it fails to boot to Windows, giving an 'NTLDR is missing' error. I then installed it in my other machine to try figure out where the problem was.

OK...so where do you want to go from here ? ?

Hi,

This is what I'm trying to figure out. I was hoping to get some additional ideas. I'm trying to determine is this a HD failure, or something I missed in the way, when connecting this disk to the other machine..

The person that said that the drive was empty was correct.  Its not just empty.  Its not even formatted. Right Click on my computer click manage Understorage there should be a thing to manage your hard drives and format the non formatted one.  Also an excellent way to turn a sim card from a cell phone into a hidden hard drive.  If you have a sim card reader that is.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, but as I mentioned earlier, the SCSI disk does not appear in the 'Disk Managment' at all. Although it does appear in 'Device Manager'.
