Device Manager no id'ing not one of my drives

Have a 300 + GB HDD which:

works

the files it contains

But DM no id.

And if I could figure out how to fix the 'Snip' I did I relate it to that?  Snip shows the DM window with all my other readers id would be but NOT the aforementioned ghost.

Everything works fine, I'm a bit puzzled, however.  It shows in the bios, the Panel of the model shows the disks and volumes, Disk Manager id TI, as well as the associated volumes...

Its a WD, the drivers are up-to-date.

?????

Thanks in advance

Horatio

and if someone could guide me here I have a 'snip' jpg I can send it just can't figger' out

Hi Horatio Ledbetter.

Method 1
I suggest you to run the hardware and devices troubleshooter.

Method 2
I suggest you to connect the Western digital hard drive to a different USB port and check if that is detected. Also try on another computer.

Method 3
I suggest you to update the drivers for the Western digital hard drive from the manufacturers Web site.

  • Blue indicator of Win 7 circle network ALSO hang Device Manager and MSE does not

    I have a strange problem since the recent windows updates.

    Indicator of network in the bar tasks displays a blue circle for about 20 minutes after I start the computer. During this time I can't run regedit, I can't open the Device Manager, and I can't seem to activate the protection in real time to Microsoft Security databases. However all the time I have internet and network access.
    After about 20 minutes the light will come back normal (sometimes it goes through a Red Cross first), date at which the computer then runs everything normally, if I have my phone on, I get the auto run screen, Device Manager works and I can also start MSE.
    It's as if the computer is waiting for something to happen. Device problem? However, all devices appear to work normally.
    The latest updates, I made were optional for monitor HP and Microsoft mouse and a keyboard, both of which work well in the era of 'blue circle '.
    I also tried updating the adapter software.
    It is not important, but it's annoying!

    Hi Carmen,.

    The blue circle on the network icon indicates that the system is looking for a network connection.

    If it appears at the start, then start the modem and the router before you start the computer.

  • Pavilion dv6-6c53cl: dvd player not working not not after restoring - all missing drivers, does not appear in Device Manager

    Recently, I have restored my computer dvd6-6c63cl of flag State 'out of the box.  The dvd drive no longer works.  When you put a CD, you can hear him swirling but the screen does not open.  In addition, in the Device Manager section, dvd is not listed.  I think that I need the drivers, but I did have luck to find them on hp.com (just a recovery disc, you can order).

    I tried some of the solutions on this forum for other computers, but is it didn't work (FixIt) or things in the registry (filters) were not there and one was something that was 32-bit and since it's 64-bit, I was afraid to try it.  Clearly, I don't know enough about computers.

    In which case it is important, I recently had my fan replaced and do not know if the dvd player worked after that.  Obviously not used often.

    You can provide any help would be greatly appreciated.  The computer is 3 years old so I don't want to add 'guaranteed' type plans, but at the same time, I don't want to replace the computer for something so little.  The restoration of fixed the problems I had (internets public wouldn't connect and updates did not exist).  Thank you!

    You may consider replacing the internal DVD player or using an external DVD burner.

    Hello

    Cannot install the drivers for sound card and audio device is no longer visible or detected in the vista Device Manager. Tried Realtek drivers toshiba download and disk but still no sound or device after reboot.

    its my dads specifications and he says its just stopped working. When I checked initially, the audio device was reported as driver problem in Device Manager. Remove and try to update the driver, no audio device is no longer only show.

    is it possible that the audio device of the motherboard is loose or defective? Toshiba provides software diagnostic tools to check equipment?

  • Satellite Pro 6050: WLan controller does not seem to be in Device Manager

    I'm a novice guy with computers.

    Well, I re-formated my laptop and re-installed all the drivers, but my wirless lan controller does not seem to be in my device manager.
    I was just wondering, if the driver needed to be installed in a certain order. I also had my add on the Vodaphone mobile card plugged into slot on the side that would make a difference?

    in any well any help would be great
    Dane :-)

    Hello

    As far as I know that the WLan card was optional on this unit. In this case, if you bought the device with wireless network card that WLAN should appears in Device Manager. But if you bought the laptop without the WLan card you won't find it in Device Manager.

    PS: The recovery CD already includes the WLan driver and you don't need to t in addition no driver to install.

  • Satellite A500-17 x - wifi does not work - not found in Device Manager

    Hi people,

    I need help please.

    My wireless adapter does not work.
    It worked perfectly until I connected to a wired connection in a hotel I was staying in and since then I can not connect to my wireless router.

    I tried restoring the tosystem several times to old dates, but it has not solved the problem. When I restart the computer laptop and go into devices and printers, I thought that the computer needs to be troubleshooted.

    The program runs and try to install the driver for the Wlan but returns with errors. Namely, windows could not load the driver or can verify the digital signature.

    There is also no icon in the network for lan wlan connections only. When I use the radar in connectivity doctor tells me that the WiFi network is disabled but I can't understand how to activate it.

    When I start in safe mode and go to Device Manager I see the wireless network adapter, but when I try to install the driver I leave safe mode and restart. I did and then the WiFi network is displayed in the Device Manager but when I try to load the driver, I thought that the driver is updated and then the adapter disappears from the Device Manager.

    I'm so frustrated at this point and I'm very close to a full erase and start over.

    I also tried to reload and load the default configuration settings in the installation program, but didn't make any difference.

    My laptop is a Satellite A500-17 x with windows 7 64 bit.
    The WiFi network is Realtek RTL8192E Wireless Lan 802.11 PCI - ENIC

    Hello

    Go to BIOS (press F2) and set it to default settings.
    Save the changes and restart the device.
    Then try to reinstall the WLan driver again.

    If that does not help, download the most recent and updated BIOS to BIOS first day.
    Then, restart the device and try reinstalling the Wlan driver.

    Last but not least you could test the WLan feature on laptop running with factory settings current (after using the Toshiba Recovery)

    PS: in order to use the WiFi network you must use the FN + F8 key combination and must turn on the WLan (in front of the laptop) switch to position.

  • Vista Home Premiun Device Manager does not display my CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive

    I recently tried to use my CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive and it did not work. It was working fine a few days previously but now... Nothing.

    My first reaction was to open Windows Explorer, expand and look at computer. There was my C drive and the recovery Partition but no Opitical drive more.
    Then I opened the Device Manager and saw that the CD was registered it is more as well?

    My question is

    Vista automatically removes the CD-ROM drive in the list of Device Manager if there is a problem with the drive itself?

    Or is there something that happened this suppression the CD-ROM in Device Manager list and it is not a problem with the drive itself?

    I had a disc go bad before on a PC running Windows 98 and 2000, but the disc stayed in the Manager list but I'm pretty new to Vista and know things are very different. So before we get in panic Mode, I thought that it would be a good idea to ask where someone will know probably for sure.

    If no joy:

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    You probably need to recharge the device drivers and camera control software (usually included
    with the drivers and installed at the same time).

    Login as an administrator.

    Double-click Control Panel / Device Manager - Imaging - writing down of the brand and model of camera.
    on this subject and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who are unable to do anything as MS
    is far behind the pilots of certification). RIGHT click on the camera - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it
    will update the driver stack.

    Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for the camera and the other related camera
    software (if not more recent get the same).

    Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each driver.

    Manually look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers.

    Then let windows updates on however prevent loading of drivers who are often older than the
