• E6420 not recognizing USBs when at docking station

  New Dell 6420 running Windows 7 32-bit - when you are connected to the docking station, it does not recognize the USB ports. Ive connected my USB mouse in every usb port and nothing to receive. I connect it to the port on the laptop itself, moored and its recognized. My first thought was bad docking station, tried another (both are new) with the same result. I actually ended up trying all 4 together during my whole process. Ive done the full restart, plug back on and off the docking station with the same result. I tested the usb ports moored in the bios - the mouse is recognized in all ports. That's when the laptop is docked, in the bios settings. So I thought Windows problem, maybe a bad installation... I started Windows and now all but 2 usb ports on the docking station (or port replicator, I should say) detect the usb mouse and other usb devices. I also checked the device (while only docked and undocked) Manager the only thing Bell is an unknown device under usb devices (this unknown device stays anchored and detached).  Any suggestions on what can happen and what I should fix this... im trying to stay away from doing a full reinstall.

  Thank you.

  WARNING: THIS MAY NOT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM (but there is an equal chance that it will be then I would try it if I were you)

  Hello

  I just started a new job and had the same problem. I fixed it as follows:

  Go to the computer

  Go to system properties

  Go to the Device Manager

  You should see "Network adapters" section full of "Unknown devices" for me there were two of them and two other devices with unrecognized names.

  Right click on each one from the first on and select "update driver software...". »

  Select "search automatically.

  After I updated all of these drivers and plugged the nano-receiver for my keyboard and wireless mouse in the dock of the computer finally recognized and let me use the keyboard and mouse, I use what I'm typing this message :)

  I hate to see these tickets up on sites for years without anyone answering them that it's really frustrating, and not a good sign for a manufacturer/vendor like Dell. Hope everyone who comes on this forum with this problem is it resolved.

  Best,

• HP Personal Media Drive - cannot get support

  Hello

  I tried to look for a "soft" or etc. but has not found category. I hope that I write to the rgiht category.

  I have a HP Personal Media Drive that I am attemptign to solve problems

  hd0000

  part # rf863aa

  500 GB capacity

  The problem I have is when I connect the drive to the system, it says device not recognized USB. However, he keeps making connection/disconnection noise notise. Bing bing, do. Bing bing, do. He did this continuously until I have unplug the USB cord or power.

  I tried the following

  I have tried 3 different PCs

  I have tried 2 different cables

  tried it on windows 7 as well as windows 8

  I feel that it is a real problem with the drive itself. I tried disk management, but I know that because this prevents the disconnect/reconnect the disk and not can not connect successfully, it seems like there may be a problem of internal material with the reader.

  My major problem is to get to this issue. Today I have the support of google # and looking for where to get help. I found this page

  https://h22207.www2.HP.com/ca-en/contact-HP/product/HP-HD5000s-personal-media-drive/model/RF863AA#Z7...

  Does not help very much

  I called this number

  1-800-474-6836 (1-800 HP INVENT)

  I now at calle 4 times. I get a call centre in India. They tell me that I need to talk to the accessories Department.

  I had transferred there and waited 20 minutes and hung up. So I called again. Once again, they me transferred.

  I tried 35 + minutes, had somone on the phone. After spending 15 minutes to get all the part numbers, etc serial numbers - it was obvious that they then had no idea what to do, they still have me once I was in the bad service I was calling not to the United States and Canada.

  They me transferred again and I was transferred to a number of key busy/false.

  I called back once again, even once said that I needed to be transferred... not too impressed at this point.

  Nobody has been able to give me the # direct I should call either. I'm really frusterated. Help, please?

  This device has an external power supply, I would first of all that. Resist the ear and check the that continuous rotation.

  If it's running, plug the USB to a rear port. It may take 5 minutes to initialize. If you hear click (s) and then no rotation continues, it's probably in bricks/dead.  HP offers no repair service out-of-warranty units. (1 year).

  Disassembly (different flavors for different design cases). Adapter for the device.

• Unable to access HP Personal Media Drive in Windows 7

  My wife desktop PC has failed.  I need to access the data on the HP Personal Media Drive and it attached via the USB port on my Windows 7 laptop.  However, the drive is not recognized and Windows says that there is a driver error.  However (a) according to HP, there is no Win7 drivers for this drive.  (b) according to Microsoft, the drive is compatible with Windows 7?  How the hell can I access this disk?

  Click on 'start '.

  
  In the search bar, type 'Computer management' (without the quotes). Click on the program icon that shows up (should be at the top of local search results).

  Search in the left pane of the window 'disk management '. If you don't see it, click the arrow to the left of "storage".

  Look for a drive that is not titled "allocated." If you see one, check to see if it is the same size as your Media Player. (A 1 TB drive will show as Go 931,51, etc..)

  Right-click on the unallocated disk, then click on 'Create a Simple Drive'

  Go through the wizard using the default settings. When the screen where you can name the disc, name 'HP Media Drive' (or whatever you want).
  Once the wizard is completed, wait a few minutes while the disc formats. Then open 'My computer' and the drive will be displayed.
  Right-click on the icon, then click on "Create shortcut" If you have a desktop icon to access the drive.

• HP Personal Media Drive 1 TB

  Since 2009, I used the HP Personal Media drive on my desktop PC HP Pavilion a6152n with no problems. I was using Vista without any problems.  My computer has 6 usb ports and they all worked like a charm.  I used media player for all my backups, smartphone and computer.  A few days ago, I've upgraded to windows 7 and were not able to use my media player since.  My computer will recognize the usb ports when forced, but lists the media as unknown device player when he admits to all.  I tried to update the driver without result.  I uninstalled the device, disabled the device, tried to assign a letter to the reader all to no success. I'm finally to the point that when I plug the drive on the computer, the computer tells me that I have to format the drive to use it.  The drive has been formatted originally under Vista.  I'm afraid that if I format it now, I'll lose all my files.  Help, please.  I point out that I took the car to work and this computer using XP recognizes the drive media and actually allowed me to open the files.  The computer at work is about 10 years old and very basic, no dvd drive, etc...  I also get code 43 when you try to update the drivers.   Thank you.

  make the number of days!

  Hello

  Thank you very much!  My computer now recognizes the PMD.  I was able to open some files, and they seem to be OK.  Once again thank you.

• Problem with my Personal Media Drive hd1600

  Hello

  I have a problem with my HD1600 Personal Media Drive.

  After formatting, Windows 7 can not recognize it. Only the power of the blue light is on

  in the Hp website, I can not find the driver software

  Please help me

  Thank you

  As is the case, what I would do then is to format the drive outside of the Windows environment.  I like to use a Linux on CD or GParted on CD.  Unplug your hard drive after the CD and boot from the CD that you did.  With your hard drive disconnected, there is no chance of accitentally choose the wrong drive and the PC will work fine to either that of the CD.  Format the connected USB HD1600 Personal Media Drive everything using one of the version of the Linux CD in the NTFS format.  If it is completed, the disc is OK and you should be good to go.

  Hi Nacster,

  It is very possible that the previous owner disconnected the cables. Here is an document (and video) player showing how to replace or add a hard HP. In it, you will see how the Bay of the PMD is connected the hard drive cage.

  It might even be that the internal USB cable is detached from the motherboard.

  I hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

• How to reconnect to a personal media drive Bay

  It was very stupid of me but I unplugged the cables for my Personal Media Drive Bay when I tried to remove the hard drive for maintenance.  I didn't really attention to where the white cable that looks like an audio connector is gone.  After his return from the hard drive, I can't find the connector of the personal media drive Bay.  If I had to install the external drive, I would use a USB port to connect the player to the computer, but I don't know where this subject is on the motherboard.  I searched the internet for help entered empty.  Help, please!
