PC stopped recognizing 3.5 hard drive external Toshiba

Hi all

I have a 3.5/250 GB Toshiba hard drive external. I use Windows XP as my operating system and for some reason, my PC stopped recognizing saying 'USB not recognized '.
It is supposed to be taken & play and I'm sure that I didn't have a driver, when I installed it.
If anyone can help or has any suggestions, I would be grateful.

Thank you

Malc

Hallo Malc

It is possible that you have removed the external device without using the option remove the device safely. Restart the machine and try again.

Otherwise, you can remove all ports USB device manager and start option to add material on the list. After detection and installation it should work again.

  • HARD drive external, Toshiba PX1395E, not plug and play in Windows XP

    Hi all

    Thanks for reading this.

    Just bought a number of HDD 2.0 USB 750 GB external PX1395E.
    I want to use to back up files from my old computer to my new computer.
    In fact, my old pc recognizes the HARD drive (plug-and-play) and I already copied the required data.

    BUT: my new computer, with Windows XP Professional, Service pack 3. Does NOT recognize the HARD drive.
    I used several (versions 1.1 and 2.0) USB ports and everything is connected to the way that it should.
    Windows tells me that I have plugged 'something', but is unable to recognize what it is and I can't use the material.

    I think I need a driver to make this work. Site Web de Toshiba does not provide this particular driver (I checked, but it cannot find).

    Is there anyone with a solution?

    Thanks in advance.

    Do you see the HARD drive in the disk management?
    Control Panel-administrative tools-online-online disk management computer management online

    Another way is that reinstall you the chipset driver. Look at the Toshiba site to download and choose the right one.

    Look for yellow exclamation marks Device Manager.

    Let me know, what you're doing.

    Original title: backup on an external hard drive

    I'm trying to back up my files on an "External" hard drive It's me E: drive as the location, but it just hangs up there says "not responding". I tried to do an "Archive" in the "My Documents" folder, I saw files transfer, however all my names of my files are now blue in 'My documents' whatever that means? What drive letter should go a hard drive 'external '? I should be able to click on that drive and see what is on my external hard drive, but it doesn't "not responding"...

    External drive (E :) will not name until you give him one.  It is possible that the disk has not been formatted yet.

    Open disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK).
    You will see something like this:

    You will have a line for 'Disk 2' but which shows next to your "disc 1". Please provide ALL information in the "Disk 1" line.

    For example, if you had the image above, the response from you I'm looking for would be:

    Disc 1 - Basic - 186,31 GB - online
    Ghost images (D :) - 93,13 GB NTFS - healthy (active))
    Data backup (E :) - 50,57 Go NTFS - healthy)

  • Transfer Media Player on a hard drive external?

    I run XP and bought an external hard drive to my music collection.  Is it possible to transfer the Media Player itself on the hard drive external?  I'd rather play on Media Player on those of the drive, that there is none.  Choose a record and that's all that you can play at the same time; No shuffle or several artists in one sitting.

    Any suggestions, anyone?

    There is no need to transfer WMP itself hard disk external, WMP can perfectly handle music on other players.

    In WMP, please press F3 to display add it to the library, make sure that Advanced Options are displayed and add the folder music on the external hard drive in the list. Now, all the music on the hard drive will be added to the WMP library.

  • HARD drive external with will operate at 7200 rpm on Equium A60-155

    Hello

    I have an Equium A60-155 which runs at 4200 RPM and I'm having some problems running some recording software. I thought a hard disk at 7200 RPM. This will be compatible and it my computer, and then run at 7200 RPM? I'm naïve on this...

    Thank you
    Andrew

    Hello

    You want to connect the 7200 RPM external HARD drive to the USB2 port?
    Usually the HARD drive should be recognized if you are connecting to the USB2 port, but the question is whether you'll be able to find a 2.5 external enclosure and controller that takes care of hard drives.

    If the external HARD disk controller can support this HDD then you should be able to use the HARD drive.
    But he should know that USB 2.0 has a rate of raw data at 480 Mbps but stretches of effective rate to 320Mbps for transfer on a USB 2.0 HDD if no one else does not share the bus.

  • "Access denied" error on all hard drives external and MagicDisc

    I just purchased a Lenovo B575 running Win7 Home Premium and I'm very frustrated that I can't access my external hard drives, which are essential to my work. I get the error "Access denied" the normal start, but I'm able to use disks normally in safe mode. Here are some of the things I've tried:

    -Change the permissions/ownership after normal startup: does not work. Windows doesn't let me change the permissions or ownership, even if my single user account is set to administrator.

    -Change the permissions and ownership in safe mode: I found a solution online saying "Everyone" to add to the list of users in the Security tab. It works * temporary *, until I unplug my hard drives. When I plug back them, it's back to square one.

    -Install MagicDisc to access some files I saved in the form of ISO images: MagicDisc seems to work very well and load images normally... but also, I get the error "Access denied" when you try to open the drive in Explorer.

    -USB flash drives: same problem.

    -Other erratic behavior: one of my USB drives will not stop read/write as soon as I plug. I don't know if it's the McAfee antivirus analysis each of millions of files that I have on this subject, or if something else is happening.

    I had NONE of these issues on my old Acer and HP to my friend has no problem loading my readers. If I can't find a solution soon, I'll be forced to return this laptop that I need to access my work files.

    I lost my patience all yesterday and not the OneKey Rescue, restore my system to nine. Then, I named my new laptop of the same name that my old (relevant at all?). He immediately provoked a hard drive to work. The 750 GB it does not work yet, but I changed the permissions AND ownership to "Everyone" in SafeMode... now it seems to work correctly. No problem with other removable disks.

    That they are related or not, I have not initialized or changed some settings on the programs supplied with the laptop. My guess is that port Locker has something to do with the question I had - even if it has been disabled before. I'm uninstalling as I did not need. BioExcess, face recognition... everything goes down the drain. These should be optional, not enabled by default. Too many background services! I'm disabling a bunch of unnecessary stuff.

  • Finder or by default in the view extended folder on hard drive external

    I'm trying to understand why, when I open an external window of Finder on my hard drive, it always expands to display a specific folder I used months ago. I do not know Finder using the default views and I can't determine how to reset back to the view of the root of the drive.

    Thank you.

    Hi leftysrevenge!

    I can certainly understand not wanting the Finder of an external drive window to keep opening to a folder that has been used months ago because I wouldn't mine to display that way either.  No worries, there are a few steps here to get the default view has changed on this issue.  Follow these steps here and he should be able to be changed for this external drive:

    Open the Finder, click Display > Display Options > a window will appear to select your display preferences, make your selection here > and if possible use the button "Use as default" to maintain this point of view.

    The "Use as Defaults" button may be grey, if the format of the external drive is not OS X Extended.

    Enjoy your day!
