Hello

1 have had any changes made on the computer before the show?

2. What is the brand and model of the computer?

3 have you tried plugging the laptop hard drive on different USB ports?

I would suggest trying the following steps and check.

Method 1:

Run the utility of Windows troubleshooting for hardware and check.

Open the hardware and devices Troubleshooter

Check if it helps.

Method 2:

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual. See step 7 in the article.

Method 3:

Throw a virus with the Microsoft Safety scan scanner to make sure that the computer is virus-free.

  • Computer laptop 15-f211wm Mod #L0T32UA: USB external HARD disk and laptops not detected but used to be

    My USB ports do not seem to work properly.  I used to be able to plug in my external hard drive and mobile phone to transfer files, but now I can't.  In the DEVICE MANAGER of the laptop, nothing seems to be wrong, no red or yellow warning.  However, the USB ports DO not seem to power the devices, my cell phone goes into charge mode and my HDD Seagate you can feel it vibrate slightly.  There are two USB ports on the left side and one on the right, and all three can not detect devices.  Help, please.

    HERE IS a GUIDEto solving the problems of USB such as described in the post.  See if any of these help.  As you have posted in the notebook section, when you do that a single step to cripple, also remove the battery after the computer shuts down, unplug charger, too.  Then hold the power button for at least 30 seconds before feeding back.

    BTW: have you tried to delete all things under the rubric of the USB in the Device Manager, then reboot to allow Windows to reinstall the USB ports?

  • Toshiba 500 GB external HARD drive is no longer detected - after only 1 hour

    Hey,.

    I finally got my Toshiba 500 GB external hard drive delivered today. I had no problem setting up and to turn my laptop on, it immediately recognized and I started to transfer things for her.

    However, I accidentally stood on the USB cable to the HARD drive and disconnected. I plugged it in, but my computer did not recognize.

    Nothing I've tried has worked, always, the laptop does not recognize the hard drive.

    Please help, I've only had the one hour thing, and it already does not work! I really hope that I have not only lost £56...

    All advice is appreciated, thanks in advance.

    NEW: My father just tried plugging the HARD drive in the desktop PC is on the ground, and as soon as the USB when it is in the port, you stop the computer... causing him to lose a lot of important business email, he wrote. It starts the computer, the USB and you stop again... and this has happened 3 times until he gave up. What on Earth is wrong with this thing? I've never heard of a USB cable, stop a computer permanently, or a hard drive that does more after an hour of use...

    The USB port on the HARD drive may have been damaged and may be causing the PC detect a short power.

    You can try another USB cable? If it is not the cable, then the HARD drive should be sent to a Service Center for repair or replacement.

  • External hard drive gives USB not recognized error

    I have a Western Digital Passport 80 GB HD, which worked fine with XP until today.  I plugged this morning and received an error not recognized USB.  I followed the troubleshooting tips and online help.  It seems that in most cases, if you go to computer management / disk management, you can see the external hard drive.  This is not the case with mine.  I don't see the player.  I downloaded the recovery software, but everything is based on the premise that the drive appears.  Mine does not work.  Can someone help me?

    Thank you.

    Unfortunately, this drive has probably went wrong.  Have you tried another cable to connect your player to your computer?  It may be a long shot, but it is possible that the cable could be damaged.  You may need to take your car to a specialist in recovery to recover the data.  I apologize for the bad news.

    See you soon

  • External hard drive on firewire not detected

    Hi guys!

    Your help was my last option. I have a WD my book Studio 1 TB external drive that works very well with my laptop via USB, BUT NOT on firewire. Please advise on how to make it work. Already tried to troubleshoot based on KB948911 and KB927827 without success. In the method given in KB948911 I had no SBP2 in the registry, then utilisΘ USBSTOR (?).

    My configuration:

    WD external drive is connected via a 4 to 9 pin cable (on start connecting the WD, but no detection of Vista)

    Thank you

    AttilaO,

    Although Microsoft works closely with many OEMs and parts 3d and worked by ensuring compatibility with hundreds of devices and applications Microsoft does not guarantee the functionality of these devices or applications. It is the responsibility of the OEM / 3rd party to provide drivers or updates for their products in order to make them work under Windows.

    To refine the device that is causing the driver incompatibility, you will need to test your IEEE 1394 [firewire] device with another hard drive / material. Our recommendation is that you contact your manufacturer for assistance.

  • "Hard drive - (3F0) BootDevice not found" after deleting Windows

    Hello.

    I have a ProBook s 4530 accompanying pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium. I'm a Linux user for a long time, so the first step that I took after the purchase was reducing the OS partition and install Arch Linux on the free space created. I used the laptop in this configuration for something like a year now, but since I rarely even start on Windows, I decided to save free space by deleting them entirely. You use cfdisk, I deleted their partitions.

    After a short time (about a day), I got off the machine, and I found a few old labelless CD I wanted to inspect. I started the calculated and inserted in the drive. It was obvious that it was a Windows XP installation CD, so I turned off the computer (before it has completed the phase of loading drivers).

    (It is likely that the previous paragraph is unrelated to the error message, because the installation should not even touch the disk at this stage.) I also do not restart often, so I'm not sure that makes the computer startup between the removal of the partition and start the Windows XP CD.)

    The next time I tried to start the PC, I was greeted with "Hard Disk - BootDevice (3F0) not found." All HP diagnostics were OK, and when I loaded GRUB on a live Ubuntu CD to my hard drive, it starts normally.

    I admit the BIOS could be confused in some way by the partition table I, it starts with lots of free space and has no NTFS partitions, but I think that BIOS should not depend on the OS that I run. So, I have a few questions:

    1. The HP BIOS is trying to detect Windows, and it doesn't do anything differently if it does not find Windows hard disk? I googled around and did not find anyone with experience running as Linux on my laptop (just dual-boot).
    2. If so, is there some way I could convince them to begin the hard drive even through it is not Windows on it?

    Thank you.

    Then he turns the laptop was confused because no partition has been marked as active. My bad.

  • WIFI device not detected after installing Windows updates.

    Original title: WiFi stops working when loading Windows (Win7).

    After that the last series of Win7 update is more my Wi - Fi works.

    My computer is the only one in the affected House. Wi - Fi is on (the radio light is on) when you start up loads of Windows, and then he went. More my factory installed Atheros wireless network card is no longer visible in the device, only the Ju Fast Ethenet controller Marvell Manager. I have re-installed the Atheros driver in the hope that the system would then find the device. No luck. Even the F8 key is operable, so using the FN + F8 key to activate the Wi - Fi is a bust.

    We know that the camera is good, but Windows doesn't see a reason any. This seems to be a matter of Win7 and not a hardware problem.

    • Please let know us if there is a FIX to this problem - I spent the last 4 days of research on this and I'm not alone.
    • I can re - install Win7 or y at - it a patch that I can use? With the help of a cable Ethernet is well when you're used to a Wi - Fi connection!

    Method 1: Run the Microsoft fixit

    See the following site:

    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/en-us.

    Method 2: Disable any security software

    See the following site:

    Disable the anti-virus software

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Disable-antivirus-software.

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 3: Clean boot

    See the following site:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.

    Note: to set the computer back to start normally, use the step 7 in the same link.

    Note: If in case you are connected through a wireless connection and then when you start the System Configuration utility to perform the clean boot, click Startup and Services tab one time and check see topic wireless are turned on (Enabled).

You can also visit this link and check the compatibility of this model to Windows 8.1.
