Replaced hard drive. Now USB ports do not work.

My hard drived has crashed and my local computer guy took my external drive and used in my computer to replace the drive crashed.  Everything seems to work fine, but today, I realized that the USB ports on the front of my computer do not work.  There are two in the back, but they seem to work since everything which is plugged into those are usable.  What could have happened?  Can I repair myself or do I have to carry it up to him and spend another $100 that I don't have?

Well an operating system could be run from an external hard drive, but now that its gone, what

place with the old hd, why run outside so the inside is corrupt... If you're in the hd was not

replaced by a new one, buy a new one, install, install the xp cd, boot from the xp cd, have xp format

& install a clean operating system. Unplug the old one during xp installation, plug it in again after startup pc

in the BIOS, set the drive boot priority, once under xp, get any data you want on it, then format, use

as storage and a swap file... Get more information from kb307889 & kb303079

  • My USB ports do not work.

    Hello
    Yesterday, I bought a brand new printer, implemented, it was working fine, and then it just stopped. So I fought a bit with her, decided the printer was defective and would resume and put it out to a new, and meanwhile put my printing task on my jump drive and bring it to our local printing store. However, when I put my jumpdrive into the USB port to transfer the project, my computer would not my USB - stick. So now, I think that for some reason that my USB ports are not working.

    Can you please hellp me to install it? I have download the drivers from Toshiba for my NB200
    But does not work.

    Thank you

    Paulo

    If everything is OK and right drivers all USB ports should work. You cannot install the drivers for each port separately and force one of them to work properly. On this machine, all three ports are the same USB2.0 ports.

    Try reinstalling the chipset utility.

    By the way: two other ports work well, right?

  • X 51 - R2. Before USB ports do not work

    I just got my new Alienware X 51 R2 recently. I begin to test on my new computer. Then I found at the front, two USB ports do not work! My USB device is functional because it works when I connect it to the rear USB ports. I don't know what problem is it? I tried to update and install the driver too much on Dell.com. It's a new pc and therefore disadvantage if the front USB ports do not work. Help, please

    Just for someone else who has this problem. It's actually all because the cable that connects the USB card to the front of the motherbard is connected with a black cable. You will probably find that opening upwards, you will find that the thick black cable is not connected.

    Once reconnected, you will have your USB market back again. You will also find that your AlienFX works. I just had this problem and after the challenging my brain trying different drivers, reinstalling the operating system, make drains of power without meaning, try all USB, I, I thought I would check the actual cable and voila. Hope it helps others in the future.

    Hello

    > This problem start after a storm in my area some time ago.

    Because other devices don't work properly and because procedure didn t get it back help you solve this problem, I think that the problem is related to the hardware malfunction possibly that the motherboard was hit by lightning, which would explain the problems

    I think you should ask the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country to check the motherboard.

    But in my opinion, that the warranty does not cover the issues of environmental impact maybe your household insurance could help you

  • USB ports do not work after waking up Satellite A200 from sleep mode

    After that I spend my Satellite A200-244 "sleep" or "hibernate" USB ports do not work!

    Hi mate,

    already tried this:

    Open start and type Device Manager and then press ENTER, to start Device Manager. Click on the sign + next to "Controllers of Bus USB" and then in the list, you should see some devices called 'USB hub root'. For each one, click right, hit properties, go to the power management tab and uncheck the box "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power." Then restart.

    Maybe it works. Another solution would probably be this Microsoft KB document:

    Hello

    If the USB ports are properly recognized in device then as Quad Manager said it could be an external problem. The USB port is 500mA power. If the external device requires more power to work in this case, it of necessary to use the external power supply.
