My Seagate Expansion drive is no longer recognized by my Windows 7 laptop. I went through all the checks I can think of, but nothing helps...

It has worked before and has a lot of my family photos.  I downloaded some pictures on it several times...

What exactly happens when you connect? Is no device detected a unreadable disk?
Other USB storage devices are correctly recognized?
If possible, try it on another computer would be useful to see if the problem is with the drive or your PC.

  • USB stick not recognized by the computer. Have tried all the options I can think about.

    Very well.  I have a S-Mini Patriot 32 GB flash drive that does not recognize my HP Slimline 400-434 Windows 8.1. In my view, he acknowledged once and has refused to do since. My laptop (Windows 7 Toshiba) recognizes very well.

    All other devices USB function perfectly on this computer. USB hub mouse, keyboard, USB, cable Apple iPhone.

    1. I tried to unplug all other USB devices before trying this one. IN CASE OF FAILURE

    2. I went to device management and the USB does not appear in the list. IN CASE OF FAILURE

    3. I uninstalled the USB root hubs and restarted the computer. IN CASE OF FAILURE

    4. I tried to plug in the USB ports on the back that plug directly into the motherboard. IN CASE OF FAILURE

    5. I have updated the drivers, and have been unable to find a update of the BIOS as the link on the HP download site and told that it is incompatible to my computer. IN CASE OF FAILURE

    .. then what the hell gorram bloody I do now?

    Good and the most ridiculous way, I never solved a technical problem...

    Failed to insert the USB flash in the port. She has to insert slowly, so that the contacts are aligned.

    I found it trying to connect to it in my USB hub and noting that the witness red light was going on and outside that I inserted the USB key, flicker on as I inserted it there and then off once it is all the way in.

    Weird. But good. It works now.

  • Gamepad Xbox 360 as seen in "Device Manager", but not recognized as "Game controller" and will not be installed all the drivers

    My problem is very similar to the one raised here:

    However, the OP in this question unfortunately never had answer to his question.
    When I plug my Xbox 360 controller on my laptop, my computer recognizes it as a device, but does not recognize it as a game controller. Instead, my device is listed under a category called "Other devices", and the drivers are not installed (he gets the little warning sign yellow after the icon).
    I've tried right-clicking on the device, by clicking 'Uninstall', out in him plugging, uninstalling and reinstalling Microsoft Xbox 360 accessories, restarted my computer and each unique combination of these things.
    I tried to talk to an Ambassador of Microsoft, who told me to update the driver and manually make a 'human interaction device', but unfortunately it did not work.
    I called Support of Windows games, who gave me information from these links:
    support.Microsoft.com/kb/908888
    support.Microsoft.com/kb/906347
    Outside of download the drivers manually in the form of 'Microsoft Xbox 360 accessories' (which I already have), I wasn't able to try all of the hotfixes listed in the guides, because my camera is not listed as a joypad or human interface device. It is simply listed as "Xbox 360 Joypad" and it is listed under the heading "other devices."
    It seems that there is just something wrong with my USB and it's just is not installing drivers properly, but this isn't the case. I plugged many other devices, including an iPod, a mouse and an external HARD drive, which all had their drivers properly installed and works great.
    I also know that it is not a problem with the xbox controller, that I plugged into another laptop (also Windows 7 64-bit), as well as pilots very well on the other laptop.
    I'm really puzzled by this situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated, but please do not repeat the information or links I listed here, or who was in the last question which I quoted above. Thank you for your help.

    UPDATE: I finally got to work. Everything is beautifully detailed in this video from Youtube:

    Here's what you do:
    1. plug your device and go to Device Manager
    2 right click on everything that your computer recognizes your device as (for me, it was listed under 'Other devices' and had a yellow warning sign on this subject) and click on "Uninstall".
    3. disconnect your device
    4. If you have not already done so, download and install the appropriate for your device 'Microsoft Xbox 360 accessories' program
    5. plug your device back on and go back to Device Manager
    6 right-click on everything that your computer recognizes your device as (for me, it was listed under 'Other devices' and had a yellow warning sign on this subject), but this time click on "update driver software".

  • No longer recognizes my Seagate Expansion drive after upgrade to El Capitan

    I upgraded this morning to El Capitan. Before that in so doing, I took care of my backup Crashplan was full then removed all of my external drives. I have three following readers:

    (1) Seagate 2 TB portable backup more (for important storage images/documents/videos so I can work between home and College)

    (2) Office of more than Seagate 3TO backup drive (for part of my Crashplan backup - I also backup to Crashplan central in the cloud)

    (3) Seagate to 5 Expansion Drive (to store old files, which are now copied on the 2 TB drive now, and I have not used this drive in age anyway)

    Note: nothing is really stored on my Mac hard drive, I keep almost free and save memory for the app

    As all the files in the disk of 5 TB are now on my 2 TB drive, and is in turn supported up to 3 TB drive using Crashplan, it's now redundant, I wanted to wait that I upgraded to El Capitan to format the disk of 5 TB, so it is compatible with Time Machine and make another backup and Crashplan.

    But after that I've upgraded to El Capitan, I plugged it all readers of my back in and adopted the new HD in Crashplan (as their FAQ instruct). Except that only 2 of the 3 discs are now recognized. The 2 TB and 3 TB drives appear fine, but the 5 TB drive appear not at all.

    What can I do to resolve this and get the drive to be recognized? Or just Apple cost me €160 with this upgrade?

    The drive appears in the disk utility?

    I have referred to these readers as R: and S:, they do not appear when I open 'my computer '. None of my media players see these discs. Earlier, I would put in one of these drives dvd or cd, and immediately started to my Media Player nominated. Thank you.

    Hello

    It is not uncommon, in fact more expected than a question as this affects both drives.

    19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same resources.

    Having too many CD/DVD programs can cause strange problems, especially if they're loading of parts of them.
    Selves at the start because they will be competing for resources. This does not mean that this problem was caused by
    These however is a possibility depending on which and how many you have installed.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the

  • Drive external drive is no longer recognized - cannot "re" format after recent updates

    After the updates that my external hard drive does not appear on "my computer", I can't access it. When I go to "devices and printers" it finally shows as "existing".

    I went to the "format". A pop up box says that I need to check to see if properly connected (Yes); and if read only files (answer should be "no"; but I have no idea how to find this information).  All about the 'Properties' check is completely different after all the recent, new self-installing.  Then.

  • USB not recognized - even when there is no USB devices at all the

    For a few days now, I get the message

    "USB device not recognized: one of the USB devices attached to this computer is not working properly." The device has not been recognised "."

    He keeps popping up in my right corner below, every 5 seconds if I don't click it. When I click on the message, I get a list of devices (ports) are available. There is an "unknown device". Maybe it has something to do with the (biometric) finger scan? This has not worked very well lately...

    Even when there is no single USB device installed (normally, I have a mouse and a Targus laptop cooling mat installed as USB devices), it keeps popping up. I tried to remove the USB port from the list (or uninstall) in the remote control, but it seems that it keeps happening.

    I got it all of a sudden, I have nothing specific to has not logged any strange devices (except for a spotlight on exit external screen, but this has nothing to do with USB). I also hear the sound for the connection / disconnection USB devics randomly when I'm on my laptop.
