Drive external DRIVE of Toshiba PX1329E - 1 40 not detected

Hello. Since yesterday my PC does not recognize the external HARD drive at all.

I had this problem for a few weeks now - after that the start of the HARD drive did not appear, immediately, but after a few minutes/hours. And yestrday system is unable to locate it. I tried on another PC, tried another USB cable, restored the windows settings, but all without success.

The drive does not appear in the Explorer, sometimes (but not always) it appears under USB controllers the device as mass storage Device Manager menu, but when I click on properties it says currently, "this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45) To resolve this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer. "My MP3 Player connects to the PC without any problem, it seems that there is something wrong with the drive itself.

Would it be something wrong with the power cable? The reader is only 1 1/2 years and he has never left home so I think not that it could be either mechanical or whatever the fault.
I have removed the case but assumed did not find something fishy aside from the fact that the drive itself is a Samsung!

Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Have you tried other USB ports?

The USB ports on the front of the PC are usually just USB 1.1 compatible. If you attach a USB2 device, it can work only intermittently.

Check the HDD on another PC. Maybe a bad driver been installed?

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are

  • Toshiba PX1396U - 3T 01 - not detected by PC

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba PX1396U - 3T 01 1 to usb 2.0 external hard drive (food sector) that I bought in 2009.

    Recently, during transfer of files from the hard drive to another, the green copy to neutral bar. So, naturally, I suspected a loose connexionUSB. I canceled the file transfer, make sure the usb plug is correctly in the port and turn off the external hard drive.

    When switching on, external hard disk red light stays on for 1-2 minutes before turning blue and once it has turned blue, the disc is not spinning and the hard drive is not detected on the computer. I compared it with my toshiba 320 GB external hard drive (also supply by sector), its indicator turned blue immediately, and I can feel the spinning.

    What could be wrong my external hard drive and how to retrieve the files contained in it?

    Hello

    If the HARD drive does not turn upwards, I think that the problem that it related to the HARD drive itself. You can test it on another computer but if it s not turn not not the problem is the HARD drive in my opinion.

    I think you need to send the HARD drive to an authorized repair service provider. Guys can check your HARD drive and replace it with a new model if your HARD drive is still under warranty.

  • Toshiba A300 PSAGCE battery not detected

    Hello everyone.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 (PSAGCE) which worked well since I. Recently, he showed "battery not charging". I went to see what I could do and someone advised that I should update the BIOS. So, I went to the website of Toshiba and downloaded the update for my BIOS. I have install without problem. He now has the version 2.20. The problem of "battery not charging" had disappeared.

    I had a new problem: battery not detected!

    The battery worked well and he gave me 2 hours of normal use. Now, it is not "detected". I did everything I could think of. Do you have the BIOS reset (pressing on the WE / OFF button / stop for 30 seconds), I left it with the battery for a few days, etc...

    When I connect the battery, it shows an orange light for 5 seconds and he died later. I don't know what more I can do. I contacted Toshiba in my country without success. They have not yet responded to my email.

    Any ideas? I tried with another charger than computer shows the same.

    I have install as a program of "batterycare.net" and it shows that I have 1.40 hours of battery, but as soon as I remove the cable ca, the computer shuts down without power.

    I guess I won't be needing help... I flashed my BIOS with a lower version that I had (2.20 > 1.80) and now it does not start even upward.

    I'm kidding not things for good.

    Any changes to save it?

  • External drive HARD Toshiba 1 TB does not work on my laptop but works on another PC

    Hello
    I used my drive external HARD for almost a year with no problems until now. When I hook it up to my laptop and try to open it, the computer laptop everything freezes and I can't do anything.
    It is recognized in the Device Manager where it says "this device cannot start. Code 10 "and"the process of hosting the driver for this device has finished".

    Should I try to uninstall and reinstall even if it works without problem on another computer?
    USB ports on my laptop seem to be OK that other devices work well.

    Thanks for help.

    It looks like a USB driver problem.
    I think you should first disconnect the HARD drive.
    Then go to Device Manager, look for USB hubs and controllers and uninstall/delete all the USB controllers.
    After that, restart the system. Wait for USB devices deleted would be recognized and then connect the USB HDD to one of the USB ports.

    I hope this helps.

  • BIOS Inspiron 2305 does not detect the drive in ahci mode

    The hard drive in my Inspiron one 2305 crushed and I tried to install a 500 GB Seagate Barracuda drive.

    The Bios does not detect the drive. I noticed that the SATA in the BIOS mode option has been put on AHCI. I changed the ATA mode and the BIOS has detected the drive.

    However when I try to install a clean version of Windows 7 (Dell OEM disc), to halfway to the installation Setup will fail. I noticed that the reason why it will fail, is that the installation process now does not see the hard drive.

    Can someone tell me what steps to take to do the installation?

  • Drive HARD Toshiba guaranteed external profile corruption

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba external hard 400GO USB Drive of DABS it delivered without a CD Rom. I plugged the USB cable into the computer, but it did not detect the drive, even after re - starts or try other USB slots. Not shown in Device Manager.

    Hello

    I don't know if this external HARD drive needs an additional but installation CD everything must be shipped with the HARD m disk box!
    To my knowledge this HARD drive needs an external power supply. The cable must be delivered also with this HARD drive.

    So take your manual HDD and check shipped all parts! If something is missing you dealer of HARD drive!

    PS; the CD cannot be downloaded on the net!

  • P30: External hard drive is not detected when you use IEEE 1394 cable

    My P30 not / can not detect my newly acquired Western informed extreme Digitak Drive 320 when I connect via the firewire port. I use a 4-pin cable (which costs a fortune, by the way) who is supposed to be a way to connect this drive to a 6-pin pc.

    My ieee 1394 driver seems to be called 'VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 host controller".

    Can someone tell me what to do? I really need to connect the FireWire drive because I need the USBs for other devices.

    Thank you!

    Hi, Lars

    It is really strange. I use the external DVD drive (DL) using the same cable. I tested it with several units (old Satellite 1900, Tecra M1 and also new Qosmio G20) and everything works perfectly.

    Check the power supply to the external HARD drive.

  • Re: Driver and Toshiba tool support once the Satellite has been interrupted

    Hi all

    I bought a Tosh laptop about a year ago and I like to keep programs and services up-to-date.
    When I visited the site the other day, I noticed that my laptop model is now discontinued... someone else in the family just got a new laptop Tosh and I noticed lots of Toshiba Basic programs and services are much more recent than mine.

    No one knows how long we receive updates for? End of warranty? End of production?
    I downloaded Tosh a similar, more recent programs and they work just fine - I don't know why my previous updaters of Tosh software does not give them to me. Of course, some newer models will have some new features that are not compatible with mine.

    Everyone has noticed this on their laptop?
    Very quickly after the purchase, the support of software dries...

    I attended the launch of Windows 7 and received a ultimate disc that is just lying there.
    I think of "slipstreaming" latest updates in it, and I notice that I can add a new driver updates. I'm starting to think the software of my laptop has reached the end of the line for the backup and restore - slipstreaming a Windows disk at retail with the newer programs of Toshiba and drivers maybe better for future reinstallation. What other users think / do?

    Thank you

    Hello everyone, I have the following problem:

    -My MBP detects the SSD external hard drive when it is connected to the USB port and works fine

    Problem

    -I connect the external SSD hard drive to the USB port on both TCapsule and AExtreme, but the HD is not detected directly (USD and with powered hub of USD)

    -HD was formatted as OS x journaled Extended

    -J' tried smb and cifs via 'connect to server', but does not work.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Unfortuantely, Apple did not update the firmware on the USB key (it is still 2.0) port on their routers for a number of years.  As a result, new USB 3.0 drives may or may not work with airports.

    Yes, we know that USB 3.0 is supposed to be backward compatible with USB 2.0 in theory, but theory does not always work in practice.

    If your drive is formatted as Mac OS extended (journaled)... also called HFS +... .and you have tried the drive with and without a USB hub powered and the reader will not be displayed with you check using the AirPort Utility disks tab... then you have one of a number of readers who do not work with routers from the airport.

    I just checked a new LaCie USB 3.0 drive I have here. It works perfectly with a Mac, but it appears not at all when I connect it to the USB port or a powered new AirPort Extreme or new Time Capsule directly, or by using a USB hub.
