• Backup Win XP does not recognize my external hard drive

  Windows XP Backup Wizard does not recognize my external hard drive and does not list it as an option for storing backups.  I suspect a registry problem because the backup wizard previously recognized this drive and saved on it several times before I was running ARO 2012 for cleaning the registry errors.  I can always open the player in windows Explorer and see the files it contains, but Explorer Windows XP now lists the drive as an "expansion disc" instead of a 'removable disk '.  When I right click in windows Explorer and open 'properties' for this drive, it shows it as a 'local disk' instead of a 'removable disk '.  The drive is ok when I click the button 'Remove hardware safely', and it reports "safe to remove hardware" after I click on "USB storage device - Drive (J :). ».  Help!

  Hello daniloalvesmaciel,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  First of all, I could check and see if the hard drive is listed on the Windows 7 Compatibility Center. Clickhere for a link to the Compatibility Center. If it's on the Compatibility Center, then check out the web site of the manufacturer for updates or drivers.

  Then check if you see the external hard drive in the Device Manager.
  To check these options:

  1. click on the Start button to display the Start Menu , then selectControl Panel .
  2. the Control Panel window opens.
  Now click system and security from this window.
  3 Scrollfor Device Manager.
  4. click on the Device Manager.
  5. to view material click on any category and the associated list of installed hardware. For example. Click on hard drives.
  Right click on the external hard drive. You can see the different options likeUpdate driver software, disable, uninstall and properties etc.
  6. click on Properties to display the details of the hardware. Click theDriver tab , to view the details of device driver.
  7. then on the software update driver to check and see if you have the latest drivers.

  Then check again and see if you can save on the external hard drive.

  If this is not the case, try to map a drive to the external drive. Can you back up now.

  Please respond and take stock of your problem.

  I disconnected the USB line, reconnected with the power of the unit it turned on and off while only plugged, unplugged, and made all possible combinations of many times. My computer does not recognize anything.

  I can't find it in my computer, and also, the computer does not list the device in the Device Manager utility.

  The computer with which the external drive worked and one that currently does not recognize are model computers windows XP (2008).

  Thanks for the reply.

  In the meantime and after reviewing all similar positions, it turns out that find the 'live' usb device does the trick.

  So, other people with similar problems, try the usb cables at the back of the computer (all), then by restarting the connection there.

  It worked for me.

• Satellite 2450 (XP) does not recognize my external hard drive

  I recently purchased a Hitachi USB 2.0 external hard drive. When I plug it into my computer (from Toshiba Satellite with Windows XP) it 'Bing' to let me know its been recognized and appears in the options of 'Remove hardware safely', but not in 'my computer '.

  I looked on other sites to help tech & they suggested to go to him & records management assigning a drive letter, but I can't do because it does not appear in disk management. It appears in Device Manager, disk & it says that the camera seems to work fine.

  don't really know what to do! Help!
  Have all the latest windows/microsoft updates/Service packs etc...

  works fine on another PC and we tried to disconnect/reconnect (there is no external power supply required)

  through directly to the laptop via a usb cable

  Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

  It's very strange. I use two external hard drives connected to the USB ports and two of them are recognized correctly. I checked it with my old 1900 satellite also.

  I put t really know what can be the problem. The HARD drive is connected with two USB cables (as in my case)?

  Try to remove the USB ports on the Device Manager, restart the device and plug it in again. For me, it is known that HARD drive is not recognized correctly when the HARD drive is removed without using Safely Remove Hardware and reconnected. Also try different USB ports on your device.

  As I understand your unit As USB2.0 ports and I really don t know why this happen. If there is no possibility try to check some other external HARD disk. It will be interesting to know if it's some kind of common problem or individual cases.
