• Windows 7 does not recognize the new WD external hard drive added to the usb port

  Recently, I tried to add my third USB WD hard drive to my computer.  It's a My Book Essential.  The meter turns and the virtual cd drive is listed in WD, but the hard drive itself does not appear on the list of devices with a drive letter.  My my first two books are readers: J:, and L: I have no "new device found" message   I search for new devices and it the PC do not find anything.  If I click on the virtual CD drive (M :) it askes if I want the computer to allow WD to make changes...) I say Yes and the screen flashes and nothing happens.

• Windows 7 does not recognize the new hard drive during installation

  My Pavilion hard drive died.  I ordered a new identical and it arises.  Windows 7 starts to load (since a key USB as my DVD died a long time ago) and gets it Windows on the screen asking me to select a player.  But there is no choice to drive in the menu and I can't go any further.  Is the new drive dead too?  Someone suggested that I need to reinstall a 'chip game' and if that's the problem, how to do that?  Thank you!!

  I'm glad that the hard drive is seen now.  To the extent where the DVD player, if you have purchased a new DVD player for the laptop, and you have it installed, then there is something else involved here.  In this MANUAL, it seems that it is just a simple operation change out.  Must be another reason it does not work or is recognized in the BIOS.

• Windows does not load on a Satellite A350 with 500 GB Seagate external HARD drive

  There is a problem with this laptop, A350-043 running Vista Edition Windows Home Premium 64 bit, part number: PSAL6C - 04S 015

  In other words: when it is connected to a 9NK2AL-510 SEAGATE 500 GB SATA DRIVE EXTERNAL USB (s/n: 5QG1YH1E) Windows will not load, it will up to and gel just before the green movement of the bar. If the USB cable is released and handed over in a second, Windows continues to load normally and all is well.

  Otherwise, the operating system will have up to 15 minutes to load. Looking in the BIOS features, there is no option to boot from USB available, so it can not be disabled. I have updated the BIOS of Toshiba to the latest version without any change in this issue.

  I tested and confirmed that the problem persists no matter what USB port is used.
  The external drive is fully functional, and there is no error or problems with it loading Windows. I reported this problem to Seagate so that Toshiba in the hope that a solution can be offered on this, but has not heard back on anything either yet.

  Do you mean that the laptop needs 15 minutes to load the Windows operating system, even if the external HARD disk is not connected?
  It sounds weird, and I doubt that this can be related to any software problem

  First of all, you should check the boot order in the BIOS the USB should be set at the last or last position.
  Second, you should check if the same problem persists even after a fresh install of the OS in some cases, that the start-up procedure could be affected due to the process software and installed background.

  But if the new installation of the operating system is not enough and if the issue persists then I guess a hardware problem (motherboard?) could be the reason for that and, therefore, a technician of the laptop must be contacted!

  That s in my opinion

  Tips for solving problems of USB devices - and a Mr Fixit
  http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/c39bd203-f729-47a4-8351-83291e13c8a81033.mspx#EGB

  Make sure that Windows is updated appropriately that there have been several USB updates.

  1 check that the driver letters for them, for a player, if the drive of the default drive letter is changed, what is happening.
  Mine was h: I added a device that took H: and the player stopped. So I put it back to H: and the other
  device to J: and everything worked again. If necessary start - type in the area of research-> disk management find top
  -Right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN

  Don't forget to remember the MP3 must be set to the PSG to sync with WMP, and meteorological service of Canada to copy and delete files
  and update the firmware.

  If no joy follow these steps:

  You may need a powered hub. (all the USB ports on your computer are not powered, often only 2)

  Try these:

  Make a Restore Point

  Control Panel - Device Manager - click in the empty area - VIEW - show hidden devices

  Here, your devices are the MP3 player.

  Now look everywhere EXCEPT the USB controllers for your devices (cannot be found) and if you find
  It RIGHT CLICK and UNINSTALL all.

  now go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers in the category, but the category itself.

  APPLY/OK

  RESET

  This refresh battery USB and hopefully it will allow the unit to install. (You may need a powered hub)

  Here is the similar procedure under XP, Vista is the same, except that we need clear specific devices, as appropriate.

• Windows 7 does not recognize my Dell 2407WFP monitor - only as monitor not Plug-and-Play credits.

  This monitor is able to execute the resolution 1920 x 1200 and it worked well on the same laptop Dell Latitude D820 under XP Pro SP3. However, Windows 7 does not recognize the Dell Monitor (shows as non-Plug-and-Play monitor credits) and will go no higher than 1600 x 1200. The monitor on the laptop will run in 1920 x 1200 and also 1920 x 1200 poster XP running inside a virtual machine, so the problem is with Windows 7 not properly recognizing the Dell 2407WFP monitor in VGA mode. All other operating systems work very well to support the material properly.

  The laptop is running a NVidia Quadro NVS 120 M map. I tried several versions of Vista Dell drivers (do not have for Windows 7 - therefore Dell is not to follow). NVidia has no drivers for this card because it specially designed for Dell and all pilots must come from Dell (new Dell doesn't help here - I know that Windows 7 was just recently released but there are important suppliers for some time. Thought Dell was big by taking charge Microsoft with their business line of products but I think that even they cannot follow.

  It seems that the problem is also Windows 7 is not correctly identify the Dell monitor and many other monitors as well. Unfortunately, I doubt that this issue will never be resolved by Microsoft. I have yet to see that all the issues MS resolved long. I begin to see the truth in the last pub in Apple vs MS on television. Well the time to upgrade the new hardware.

  If anyone has a suggestion or a solution to solve this - I'm all ears!

  Don

  wait until that Dell publishes drivers for win 7 or you can contact them for the same thing.

• My computer windows 8 does not recognize my Canon's SELPHY PRINTER. What can I do?

  Hi Jan,

  2. have you installed the drivers from the printer?

  3 have you tried to plug it into different USB ports?

  a. on the desktop, press the Windows key + X , and then select Device Manager.
  b. expand Print Queues , and then right-click on the printer.
  c. Select Properties , and then check to see if the device works properly under device status.

  Is there a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside, then it indicates that there is a problem with the drivers.

  Follow these methods and check if that helps.

  Method 1: It is easier to connect to a printer on Windows 8.  Simply plug the USB cable from your printer to a USB port available on your computer.  If the computer is not find the printer, then plug it into another USB port and verify.

  Some older printers can require additional information to complete the installation, so connect you using the Advanced Printer Setup.

  Method 2: If there are no printer drivers available for the printer, then I suggest you to install the driver in compatibility mode.

• Install Windows 8 does not recognize the system drive

  I built a new machine (chart below). Since this is a new machine and not an upgrade, I bought Win 8 Pro 64 bit OEM to do a clean install. The SSD is my system disk that Windows 8 will be installed. Four data drives are mirrored, two for the other two. Construction went perfectly. The BIOS recognizes all six disks: 1 SSD, 4 HDD, 1 DVD.

  Insert and boot the disk of Windows 8. Accept the EULA, enter the product key. Arriving at the page "Where do you want to install Windows?", only four hard disks are listed. The SSD (installation to go) is not found by Win 8. ??? I tried to change ports SATA, cables, power supply - no difference. For each new change of hardware, the BIOS still sees everything. This isn't a hardware problem.

  The question remains: why the installation of Windows 8 does not recognize the SSD drive. All five disks are on AHCI. I'm not in RAID.

  I spoke with crucial technical support of all (manufacturer of the SSD). They were also surprised that the drive does not appear in the list.

  Does anyone have a solution? I spent all the money on hardware, as well as the new version of Windows and I cannot install it.

  This is the real kick in the teeth: Microsoft won't support me. The OEM of Windows 8 version is the same as manufacturers, such as Dell or HP. Support told me I had the support of the manufacturer. HA! I am the manufacturer. Either that or upgrade from an earlier version of Windows. This means that any that a new construction machine will get ZERO assumption of Microsoft. All just great.

  Thank you in advance for any assistance.

  Windows 8 Pro 64-bit (full version) - OEM
  Intel Core i5 - 3570K
  Card mother GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H
  Crucial Ballistix 2 x 8 GB DDR3 1600
  Crucial M4 2.5 "128 GB SSD (system disk)
  WD Green WD30EZRX x 4 (data readers) 3 TB drive
  Rosewill Challenger-U3 ATX Mid Tower Case
  SeaSonic M12II 620W 620 Bronze PSU
  ASUS DVD writer

  The DSS must be LOW LEVEL FORMATE.

  Once, there may be no other [HDDs] not connected to the SATA ports.

  Install Windows 8 Pro now.

  [Edit] Can someone please mark this as answered? I can't because I posted the question. Thank you.
