Drive hard internal does not appear in Device Manager or disk management, but IT IS there.
According to disk management and Device Manager, I don't have a C in any case, a HD partition at all. (I mean on an internal hard drive) So of course, I have a HD since im typing this now. Laughing out loud. the computer seems to know it's got a HD, because it starts very well, but he can't see it. In addition, I can see it in Explorer and see all the folders and files, but that's all. Everything works as usual. What can I do to fix this?
I have Windows Vista Home Premium, 232,88 GB Hitachi HD, NTFS, 4 GB of ram and sound on an HP laptop. I tried to restore windows, ran several antivirus scans and scans of mal-ware/spyware/ad-ware - all came up with nothing and all updates, still the problem persists.
Have you updated your BIOS? This could be a long shot, but have you tried to run the tool it Fix ?

After that I did any suggestions? !Go to your computer manufacturer's support web site and search for the latest Windows 7 drivers for your specific model number.
Download the drivers to a folder on your hard drive and install all of them, from the card mother/chipset drivers, LAN, Audio, USB, Graphics, SATA, Webcam, Etc., and so on.

I'm having serious problems here. My CD/DVD-ROM drive is not detected and will not answer. I can ONLY open the drawer at the beginning of my computer laptop startup. The drive does not appear in my computer and the category of CD/DVD-ROM does not appear in Device Manager. Therefore, the "uninstall/reinstall" is impossible if the computer behaves as it has never been this drive now or never. Previously, I was able to use it as there was no problem, but someday, it's simply not there.

Webcam does not appear in Device Manager
I have a model of portable pavilion G62-233NR windows 7 64-bit, with a built-in webcam. YouC'm software was bundled with it and worked. Now the webcam is not found by one of the video programs AE Skype, Youcam... etc...
I also noticed that the webcam does not appear in Device Manager. I tell me that I have to reinstall a driver for it but do not know what driver to install. HP has the following availble drivers for my model but which? If one of the pilots was labeled "webcam", the task would be easy. I hope because the driver is missing in Device Manager that has installed a driver will set missing cam... I'm worried because I don't see a driver named "webcam" in the list... but what else could the problem, how can I get the driver installed, if that's the problem.

What should I try?
Thank you

I had a problem with my touchpad for months. The synaptics touchpad driver is installed but the touchpad does not work and does not appear in either (just my external mouse) Device Manager. . I tried various troubleshooting methods, but none worked. Any help would be a lot for me. Thanks (in advance).

Hi @decyferme,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It's a great place to find answers and suggestions!
You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the HP Forums.
How can I find my model number or product number?
I understand that you had a problem with the touchpad for months because it is not responding. Although the driver is listed in programs and features in the Device Manager is not listed.
Have you checked for virus and malware?
Have you done all Windows updates?
Have you tried to run the troubleshooter in Windows?
Did you run HP Support Assistant to facilitate updates of HP?
First you would try this step. Some models, you can enable or disable the touchpad by double clicking on the top left corner of the touch pad. Please see if it is applicable for you.
Then in Device Manager, view hidden devices and search the hardware changes see if the touchpad now will be seen.
Here is a link to the HP laptops - use and troubleshooting of the TouchPad and ClickPad (Windows 8) that should help you too.
To say thank you for the reply, please click on the thumbs upwards the button below.

Drive hard IDE does not appear in windows Explorer
I have Windows 7 with two SATA drives. I also have an IDE drive and a dvd player connected to a single cable for IDE connection on the motherboard. One of the players SAT is the master. I have problems with the IDE hard drive I want to use as archive. It is connected to the end of the IDE cable as master, the DVD as slave connected to the middle connector on the cable. The BIOS detects the drive and the Device Manager but I can't in Windows Explorer, which means that I can't copy files to it and pick it up. Someone at - it ideas?
Thank you
Tony
Original title: Explorer does not see drive?
It has been used on another PC. Disk management idetifies just like a Maxtor N40p and ability, but nothing else. I tried using Seagate disk checker (Maxtor is now Seagate) and it doesn't have the tests, so I think it must be irreparable :-(
Thanks anyway.

Game 360 wireless receiver does not appear in Device Manager.
Hello
I recently bought a 360 game wireless receiver for my laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)) (w / two usb 3.0 ports)The receiver came with an installation disk that redirect me to a download of updated driver where I downloaded the Windows 7 drivers (64-bit). After installing syncing controllers unsuccessfully. The receiver flashes green when I press the button and the controller detects the signal when I press the button, but she never settled in a quadrant to the light upward.I searched the internet and this site where people asked similar questions. "Most have solved their problem by following a step by step process that is to locate a "unidentified device" or a" ""controller common microsoft ' in the Device Manager. I think not or the other device, a manager.
It's my problem, I would be able to resolve the issue had the device in Device Manager, but this isn't the case.If anyone could offer any help it would be greatly appreciated.Hello
This thread has been created in forum Windows 7 games; the moderation of Microsoft team has moved this thread to the Windows 7 Hardware and drivers Forum.
You try to use another USB port to see if it works or not, or on another computer to check if the receiver is actually working properly.

Satellite A500 - 17 X - Webcam does not appear in Device Manager
Hello
I'm looking for more assistance with a recently purchased A500 - 17 X running on Windows 7 64 bit. The Webcam worked when buying, but has suddenly stopped working. Web camera software is up-to-date with the latest download from the Toshiba site, but returns the message at the launch:
"Web Camera initialization failed" Please, you check the camera device & restart the application or computer.
I checked the Device Manager under Imaging for webcam devices & is not listed (it's my own laptop; I also have a Toshiba laptop provided by employer & when the webcam is listed on that one, so I presume that it must appear in the same place!
Does anyone have any suggestions? Would it be a bad connection to the webcam itself, i.e. a warranty issue, or is there a software solution to check if the webcam is actually present? I scan for new hardware & nothing new is detected.
Thanks in anticipation!
Jon
In my opinion, you should try to reinstall the driver for the webcam. Remove preinstalled software, restart your computer and reinstall the latest version available.
Best test you can do is to reinstall the recovery image. with factory cam settings should work fine again.
