External USB (NTFS) 2 TB drive not recognized

Ladies and gentlemen,

I m a complete beginner of VMWare, who inherited the ESX of my predecessor structure. The server host is installed on Linux and I m accessing it through my virtual Win 2003 Server installation. Hope that I can turn to you with my question:

I m running an e-mail server on Win2003 and search for backups add a 2 TB external hard drive. I think that I´d be simple add in Win 2003 vm ware config and see the resource in Windows after restart. Of course, this didn t happen.

I can not even see in available resources. I read some of the similar posts here, and some say that this USB support is not available in ESX Server 3i 3.5.0 and I want to upgrade. Others say it s enough to reconfigure the VMX file to add the USB support. I had a quick glance in the vmware log and he says (see below) that he actually sees, then there might be a glimpse of hope.

Yes, I have plugged in and out several times in despair :)

The problem is worse that I cannot access the server host correctly because have no knowledge of Linux and am looking at all this only through the installation of the client Win 2003. So the upgrade to eventuall wouldn be an easy thing as well...

Can I please ask you to help if West any solution that would solve this? Thank you very much

Hello


The function is not available in 3.x, there is no 4.1.


Improve the environment to 4.1 or above, this would help you to use additional features and bug fixes.


See you soon,.

  • Nighthawk R8500, USB 3.0 Flash drive not recognized USB 3.0 Port, Port of only 2.0

    My Nighthawk R8500 router with the latest firmware, V1.0.2.54_1.0.56, does not recognize my SanDisk Ultra Fit 128 GB USB 3.0 Flash drive when it is connected to the router USB 3.0 Port. The Ultra Fit is formatted in FAT32 and works fine when plugged into USB Port 2.0 router or my laptop.

    At first, I thought maybe USB 3.0 Port on my router wasn't working at all, but it recognizes my SanDisk 16 GB Cruzer USB 2.0 Flash Drive that is also formatted FAT 32. Unfortunately both my laptop have USB 2.0 Ports, so I don't know if the problem is with the router or the Ultra Fit Flash Drive. Everyone knows about this problem of their Flash 3.0 player is not recognized in USB 3.0 Port their router, especially with a SanDisk Ultra Fit? This problem can be resolved through firmware? I'd really like to take full advantage of the speed of USB 3.0 as I like to share files through my router via ReadyShare and ReadyCloud.

    Thanks in advance for any help, Carlos

  • FireWire-usb 2.0 connection "driver not recognized."

    I have a video camera with a firewire connection and I wanted to upload the video via USB, but no luck. Windows 7 does not recognize a driver for a firewire 4 pin to usb 2.0 connection 6-pin. I think that old Bus USB controllers and Ports - OHCI 1394 should do the trick, but not savvy enough to pull the trigger. I'm on the right track? If so, how do I install the cab file?

  • External Toshiba HARD drive not recognized on USB 2.0 ports, but only on USB 3.0

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba drive external HARD 750 GB USB2.0/USB3.0
    Now, this HARD drive is not recognized on USB 2.0 ports from my laptop (same thing on my desktop computer) but only on the USB 3.0 port.

    I have try on port USB2.0 computers different (desktop, laptop) but it doesn't work. The LED is the lightning, but the drive does not appear in the file Explorer.

    You have any ideas?

    Thank you

    > Now this HARD drive is not recognized on USB 2.0 ports from my laptop (same thing on my desktop computer) but only on the USB 3.0 port

    USB 3.0 port 900mA feeds. The USB 2.0 port common provides 500mA.
    I think that the HARD drive needs more 500mA power in order to work properly.

    So if you want to use the HARD drive on USB 2.0 ports, I recommend you to use a USB Y cable which allows to connect the HARD drive to two USB 2.0 ports

  • external USB drives not recognized under xp pro 64

    I bought a genuine version of XP Pro 64 to load on my computer and because Win 7 froze with drivers nVidia graphics.

    When I plug a recently bought Seagate Goflex or one of the new Western Digital external hard drives, they are not recognized.

    They do not show on my computer or disk management at all.

    They appear in Device Manager with a yellow question mark big under 'other devices '.

    I right click on the hard drive in the Device Manager to update the driver, and it always fails.

    Before ask you, these USB drives work perfectly on my other XP Home 32 System. The cables are good.

    I tried different ports, front and rear... no good.

    My system XP 64 Prp is updated w/Windows update and software chip to the motherboard.

    Strangely, I have a hard drive WD Passport USB 500 Gb one-year-old that works fine on XP 64 system.

    WD technicians say that I am the only one with this problem. PlugNPlay needs no driver, what do say.

    I also have IDE/SATA USB cable w / the power cable, I use to connect my old internal drives.

    Works fine on the XP Home 32, but I get the error "USB to ATA/ATAPI Bridge" in the device with the 64-bit System Manager.

    Yes these devices are all "turned on."

    Something is missing on the XP 64 system.

    Help is very appreciated.

    Been looking for a solution for a week now.

    Thank you.

  • Satellite M70: HARD drive not recognized external - various XP error messages

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite M70 and I have a Western Digital external hard drive.
    Initially, it worked great, I was able to put my large collection of music, etc. on it and run a computer off to save space on my integrated HD.

    But recently I had problems with XP not recognizing HD or be able to write in it. It appears in my computer, then disappear, often randomly when I write new files to it.
    I reformatted the hard drive to NTFS as it ran originally as FAT32.

    I updated my BIOS as well, but I'm out of ideas.

    Anyone else had similar problems with XP?

  • 1.5 TB external DRIVE not recognized on various laptops disk

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone could help me.

    I bought my 1.5 terrabyte toshiba external hard drive just for more than a year. It works fine on my other computer, laptop and cell phone from my boyfriend, but when I joined four other new laptops (all different brands) recently it was not recognized at all on these laptops.

    Is there something wrong with my outside or something on these computers it prevents to be recognized? Do you know how I can fix this problem?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    And if you connect the external HARD drive to your boyfriend s computer laptop, everything is always ok? Only problems with new laptops?

    Well that s really strange have you tried another USB cable and different USB ports?

    Maybe on the new laptops the antivirus or firewall blocks access to the external hard drive. Check your security software and to allow external devices.

  • WD external hard drive not recognized

    I have a Western Digital MyBook external hard drives.  I bring it with me to different places and one day when I got home I plugged it in my PC and nothing happened.  The HD is no longer recognized.

    I checked the Device Manager and it does not appear there or it appears in the list of devices for the assignment of drive letters so is not the problem.  While he was just USB I could see that the computer has been grateful something was plugged to the USB port, but that's all.  I removed the HD from its holster and hung in to my computer and always directly nothing if it is not a cable problem or power.

    I went to the site of WD and tried their repair program, but wasn't able to only detect the drive either so no luck there.

    I also tried to remove the UpperLimit registry or whatever it's called but there no LowerLimit registry to remove.  I've restarted and nothing changed.

    I'm really of ideas here, and at this point, I want to at least be able to use it again even if it means a complete reformat even if I got a lot of things about what I lose enough.

    You say that is not recognized by your computer.

    And their repair program cannot be found.

    Have you tried to plug it into another computer and see if it is approved by it?

    If it isn't, it is probably the player that has the problem.

    See you soon.
