I can not open data
Is it listed in your setup/BIOS? Is it listed in the device manager, or recognized by the OS? If any or all of these are yes, I would say you have a bad drive. If you can access the drive without complete disassemble then power it down and try removing the drive and reinstalling it. So with your phrasing I have to ask if this computer even boots past the setup/BIOS screen. If your getting into your OS, then you have some viruses or you just need instructions on how to use the computer?

Drive is not detected in
if your computer came with
a motherboard disc the drivers could be on it
click start control panel
administrive tools ,computer management ,device manager look through all
of your devices if you see a yellow question mark?or exclamation mark
! or red x
right click to reinstall
drivers or
if you can see your usb but
its not working
ports(com&lpt)right
click update driver
make sure the lead/s that
attach to this drive have a secure seating and are not bad/faulty the light on
only tells that its getting power it might not be getting enough power you
might test the lead/s or
just replace the cable of
the hard disk, when you plugged the external disk drive you got that
windows could recognize the USB device change the cable everything should work
fine again, sometimes the wires inside the cable will be damaged due to bending
or stretching or placing heavy equipment upon the cable,
check the USB leads that
attach to the motherboard usually red-white-green-black make sure they are
securely seated and have no dust build up on them dust will cause static and a
lot of unforeseen problems
hope this helps

Have a client's laptop that
One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or
to shutdown or fail to detect your hard drive
Test the leads that attach
to your ((hard drive from the motherboard)) or replace all the leads that
attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions + IDE,SATA and the
ones that attach from your ((motherboard to hard drive))
make sure all leads that
are attached to your drives dvd\cd have secure connections
and are not faulty even the electrical extensions or just replace them they
could be faulty a computer needs its connections needs its connections continue
its cycle and to have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer
error
hope this helps

I have a extra hitachi
1. Decide which hard drive will be the startup (master) drive. If this drive was the startup drive previously, or if it's a new hard drive, then the master drive designation will already be set.
2. To change the designation of a new drive to be a slave drive, skip to step 4.
3. To change the designation of an existing drive to be a slave drive: Turn off the computer, unplug the power cord, remove the drive from its drive bay, and disconnect the drive from its power cord and ribbon cable.
4. Check the hard drive documentation or the label on the drive itself for master/slave jumper settings.
5. Find the jumpers on the circuit board of the drive. Jumpers are plastic plugs with metal sleeves that form a circuit between a pair of pins. Jumper locations are labeled on the board with a J followed by a number (such as J20).
6. Use tweezers or very small pliers to remove or reposition the jumpers to the configuration shown in the documentation or on the disk label.

I connect hitachi hts424040m9at00 40GB
I assume this is an internal hard drive. If it is not being detected by windows, you need to go to disk management. refer to this link to learn more about disk management :
http://www.theeldergeek.com/disk_management.htm
When you are in the disk management menu, you need to create a partition and format this partition (if the disk is new). If the disk already has data in it, then disk management will make Windows recognize the drive.

I bought a
As long as you are sure the hard drive is connected properly with SATA cables to the motherboard and has power from the power supply unit, and that the drive is working, you can enter the BIOS on computer startup and modify the "boot device" look in "primary boot device" for a name matching that of your hard drive (probably "HITACHI .....) If it is there select it as the primary device and hopefully it will boot and ask you to install windows. If it is not there the drive may not be connected or it may need to be replaced. Hope this helps!
