External USB devices are not recognized

* Original title: Ext usb devices appearing is not in my computer

ACer laptop WIn 7 amd a8 quadruple-heart: when I log about 1 T external usb 2.0 or 3.0 hardrives or key USB 64 G,.
Device Manager displays the devices, but they do not appear in the list of computers. I have other ext hardrives and the keys that operate without problem.
I have to go to disk management and see that they appear but they do not have a drive label assigned.
Then I have to give it a label letter manually it will appear under my computer.

I tried the same features on a laptop HP with Windows 7 without all these questions.

Thanks RTierra

I have found a more permanent solution. At the command prompt, type Diskpart

type

automount

If the answer says disabled, type

automount enable

Once I did, my USB keys have been recognized automatically when it is plugged.

Why the setting has been disabled? who knows.

I hope this helps others.

  • My USB devices are not recognized, but they have a power

    My USB devices are not recognized, the only ones to be recognized are my mouse and keyboard. Each device is powered (motherboard works fine), but Windows 7 isn't their read (although sometimes I'll get a code 43). I have the latest chipset.

    I tried right click and uninstall each device and rebooted the computer. Nothing has fixed this.

    My external hard drive, ipod and other devices that involve the transfer of data seem to ONLY get power and nothing else.

    It is not material because all my devices work on my laptop. Also my motherboard works fine (it's the 2nd RMA) and it has been tested at the factory to make sure of him.

  • But powered USB devices are not recognized

    Randomly on my personal self built computer, readers usb ceased to recognize anything I put in them.  The strangest thing is that the devices kept under tension.  The mouse led would light up and charge the ipod.  I had to plug into an old school mouse and keyboard that do not use usb to use the machine.

    I tried:
    Unistalling/reinstalling usb drivers
    Update BIOS
    Uninstalling drivers for devices (ipod, keyboard, mouse, external hard drive)
    Updated motherboard drivers
    Compensation to reinstall Vista

    I'm really confused on what else to try.

    Data sheet:
    Q6600 2.4
    750FTW
    500 GB WD 7200 RPM hard drive
    2x2gb gskill
    EVGA 9800

    Any ideas would be useful.  Right now, the only thing I can think is to replace the motherboard, but I feel that I would not.  Thank you.

  • Computer do not normally sleep wake up and the computer hang when external USB devices are connected

    Hello

    I have a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit desktop CyberPowerPC, and there are currently two problems with it:

    1.), I have two USB ports in the front of my case. I am connected to my computer. Then I tried to connect my external hard drive using the USB cable supplied with it, but just at the moment where the end of the USB cable touched the port, the screen is black and automatically rebooted and froze when the display shows the brand CPU that is before the login screen. I actually press the restart on my case button to restart the computer with the hard drive already plugged. Then everything should work normally.

    It's the same thing when I tried to connect my iTouch 2nd generation.

    This problem occurs sometimes, however, but I wonder if someone always has a solution to this?

    2.) whenever I put the computer to sleep and he remains asleep for a while and I turn it on it once again, powers for about 2 seconds then it turns off. I have to turn the power supply and light in the order so he could get out of mode 'sleep'.

    I was wondering if you have solutions to this problem, as well.

    Thank you.

    Original title: new Windows 7 problem

    Ok.. I'll try again...

    The problem is caused by a bad 'ground' between the USB ports of the case and the motherboard. Static electricity is originally the USB device to short on the USB port which is originally the motherboard restart mode.

    I had the same problem and got my computer case exchanged. The problem has not entirely disappeared, and I use the USB port on the front on the card reader, just in case.

    It can also be a problem with the power supply or even the motherboard. It is very difficult to locate the failure without replacing in turn, a process that happens to be a bit expensive.

    The above is the reason why I recommend that you contact the MANUFACTURER. Don't take no for an answer off the manufacturer or supplier. It is a problem annoying which can eventually damage your operating system if it is enough...

  • Some USB devices are more recognized when plugged after upgrading Fusion 7

    After reclassification of the merger of 6 to 7, some USB devices, specifically webcams is faster to connect to Windows (guest) or Host (osx).

    They also no longer appear in the USB & Bluetooth under the Virtual Machine settings.  Anyone else see this problem?  Try to understand this point, I completely uninstalled merger to try to solve this problem.  Webcams work fine under OSX itself and are usable.

    7 merger supports a virtual USB camera, that can be added as a new device in the virtual machine settings. This allows the physical camera (USB or integrated PCIe FaceTime HD) to share between the host and the VM at the same time.

    There is currently no option in the settings of the VM to UN-hide USB cameras for passthrough to the virtual machine, but it can be done with a preference.
