• USB Flash drive does not work with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

  I have several USB thumb drives, some of them do not work when I plug them in while others work very well. By experimenting, I reduced the problem with the 64-bit Version Windows. All of these USB keys works well in my other computers that have 32-bit installed and also even computer with the 32-bit version installed on different hard drive. All of these thumdrives are detected immediately and works without a problem. The 64-bit version, I have uninstalles and reinstalled readers, drivers updated for readers and controllers USB chipset, reasigning letter drive without a resolution of the problem.

  It is interesting to know that this problem only occurs with some discs that I (like Ativa 4 GB, 4 GB generic and Verbatim 4 GB). While I discovered that you can do all the nonworking day thumdrives work once if you shutdown computer and plug the thumdrive into the USB port and the computer to boot, boot time is longer than usual and when it is operational in 30 to 45 seconds drive appears in the list of devices and you can read, write and format normally without any problem to experiment. When you pull chase him and reconnect to USB port after 10 seconds same problem appears aggai. First of all, you get the message that the disk must be formatted and if you try to format you will get a message that windows cannot format the drive. If you try to access the drive, you get message that Drive is not accessible. If I take this player and plug it from 32-bit without problem, you see all the files in the drive and are able to read the writing and the format is normally.

  I'd appreciate if I am able to get an answer as a way to solve the problem.

  When you disconnected the battery of the laptop, you did, be sure to press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds?  This causes the rest of completely discharge power.

  This tip came in practice more than once in my experience.   ^_^

• My Sansdisk flash drive is not recognized by my computer desk

  My disk 32 GB flash drive is not recognized by my office, but it is recognized by my laptop and other devices. In the devices section and printers, it is assigned K:, while my other portable external hard drives and flash drives are assigned J:. My office has at least 3 USB ports that I can reach to, and each of them do not recognize the Sansdisk, which means that it is not giving me the option to auto-play, or to eject the flash disk, it reads... Any suggestions? I'm on Windows 7 Home premium.

  I'm confused.

  - - - - - - - -

  Possible problem 1

  The device is shown in the devices & Printers?  You clicked on this entry & looked at the Autoplay item, or click Browse to see that he had received the letter K?

  But the device is still not displayed in Windows Explorer as a disk?

  Access your room: -.

  Windows Explorer,

  Organize,

  Folder options & research.

  View tab,

  Entries in the advanced settings,

• Solution: The USB floppy drive is not recognized during installation of XP of RAID

  Hello

  This Solution is for notebooks Qosmio with RAID driver during (manual installation of windows)

  I found the Solution to this problem,

  [When you install Microsoft Windows XP by using a floppy drive USB on a player who]
  requires a driver during the installation, the USB floppy drive is not recognized in all
  installation. When Windows XP searches the driver of the second time, he will not be able to see
  the floppy USB drive drive and prompts the user for the driver (RAID) again.
  The installation will never reach this point. ]

  Solution:

  This is a limitation of Microsoft, the Floppy Drive are do not appear in the file Windows 'txtsetup.sif.

  Simply change the floppy drive in another brand and avoid Usb 2.0 external Usb floppy plus old 1 Try
  Also note the back of drive sometimes they write (no bootable) avoid this also

  I personally Test this and it does not work it is "IBM Portable floppy drive" drive silver
  P/N 27L 4226, FRU P/N 05K 9283 TEAC CORPORATION MODEL NO. FD-05PUB

  The following USB floppy drives are listed in the file "txtsetup.sif" and are supported:

• Optical drive is not recognized in Windows 8.1 (x 64) or in the UEFI System Diagnostics.

  Description of the problem:

  Optical drive is not recognized in Windows 8.1 (x 64) or in the UEFI System Diagnostics.

  Steps to recreate:

  UEFI:

  1. Start the PC in diagnosis system UEFI (F2 at the STATION)
  2. Pane controls
  3. Optical drive
  4. Sequential control
  5. Error: Optical drive not installed.

  8.1 Windows (x 64):

  1. Run Device Manager
  2. Error: No CD/DVD Drives section.
  3. Search for new hardware changes nothing.

  Relevant system specs:

  Mobile: HP Pavilion 15-n023sa (construction of vanilla)

  Optical drive: HP DVDRAM gu70n

  Steps already taken to solve:

  • Replaced the DVD drive with one of the similar specs of HP Pavilion. The replaced gn70n perfectly in the other machine. No change on problem laptop. Conclusion: DVD player works, and there is no problems with Windows 8.1 (x 64).
  • Removed DVD player. Restarted the computer. Sign in to Windows. Stop. Replace the DVD drive. Start the laptop. This is trying to solve defects of material with the PnP devices; more help to solve any problems of intermittent loose connection. Conclusion: No change.
  • Ran, troubleshooting of hardware and devices, via the control panel. Problem found: material changes may not have been detected. Explore more options just takes you through http://social.answers.microsoft.com/search/en-us/?query=hardware+device, that it is a 404 error page. Conclusion: Help and Support Windows is sorely lacking. They show no more information than just that something was detected as incorrect.
  • Ran the Microsoft FixIt troubleshooting of optical disc and auto repairman. (http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/5/8/F586FB7C-78E0-40EB-AF41-4C925F803CAF/CDDVDWin8.meta.dia... The convenience store has reported that the device was not found. He recommended to remove all power cables, power off, and various other things which have no relevance for computer laptop troubleshooting of switching equipment. He said: If the problem persists, contact the manufacturer. Conclusion: Windows troubleshooting can not solve the problem.
  • Run Windows Update to ensure that all updates and definitions have been installed. Conclusion: Windows is perfectly up to date.
  • Run a complete Rootkit and malware using Sbybot S & D 2.3 heuristic analysis. as a signature database scan using Windows Defender. Conclusion: Laptop is clean of rootkits and malware, to the best of my knowledge.

  Notes:

  The DVD player is NOT appear in Device Manager, OR in this PC.

  The DVD drive is NOT detected by diagnostics system UEFI.

  There is reference to the DVD in BIOS drive NUMBER , other than as an option of Setup, which is generic.

  The DVD player itself, works and has been verified on a different machine.

  The only possible conclusion is that the optical drive port mini-SATA on the motherboard is dead.

  He used to work. It comes from when the computer was around the age of 4 months. should have put in, but could not take the days off to bring it back to BEST BUY - 2 years ago.

  Then... the CD/DVD drive is not recognized by Windows or other programs. If I insert a CD as Photo Suite III or any what CD/DVD, the green light comes on but no rotation and not even a warning to error.

  Now what? How can I find out / know the specs of what to look for a replacement/new one... I lost the book in my move to Florida. I have tried all sorts of key word in GOOGLE and I am half blind and tired to be re-directed to sites that have nothing to do with my question.

  Can someone help me please? Thank you. TJ Rev.

  PS... None of the links in the Solution of Sissy2 DIFFICULTY to where they are supposed to. I don't think it's my problem anyway.

  Download XP_CD-DVD - Fix.zip and save this file on your hard drive. Navigate to where you saved it, and double-click the file to extract the content. Find the EXE file that you extracted and double click it.  A confirmation dialog box appears when the script is done.  You may need to reboot for the change to take effect. Works on XP and Vista. Good luck!

• USB flash drives do not work

  Hi all

  I have a couple of USB flash drives. I recently got a new computer and none of them work. They work on a computer with Vista and a Macintosh running leopard OSX. I tried to install the drivers for them, but they do not work. I tried to uninstall the from Device Manager, but they don't always work. Also, one of them appears SOMETIMES (very rarely) and when he does works incredibly slow and unresponsive so. I searched the internet for each method I can find, but nothing yet. And they work very well on other computers. Can I use bluetooth USB and a USB mouse and pregnant too much work, but the sticks of memory will not work. Also do they not appear on Device Manager. I have Service pack 3 2002 edition came with the computer.

  Hello Hasan516,

  Thank you for your message.  Have you tried formatting of thumb drives?  If you have data on them, you will need to copy these data to a computer first.
  If you can see the drive but not access it under XP:
  Open 'My computer' > click the drive and select "format...". »
  When the Format window opens, scroll down the "NTFS" file system, and select 'start '.
  Please let us know if this is or is not to solve your problem.
  See you soon

  Dane Elec 16 GB USB drive flah.

  When inserted, it tells me that it needs formatting. But I can not format, because somehow, it is write protected. However, there are not switch or any possibility of mechanics to remove the write protection.

  I tried unlocker, formatting to ntfs (with XP, Win7, and BACK), but nothing works.

  Any suggestions?

  If you are still having the same problem then you can check the device USB drivers updated using windows update. See the following link for assistance.

  If the edge of the question persists I'll ask allows you to check the chipset driver updates you find on the manufacturer's website. The chipset drivers normally integrate USB controller drivers as well.

  I hope this helps.

• Windows vista USB flash drive installation AND recover the WINDOWS KEY from the recovery disk

  Hi all

  I formatted my laptop some time ago. Now I want to reinstall windows vista (came along with my laptop). The thing is due to a problem that my CD drive does not work so I would like to install windows vista by using a USB key. Can you get it someone please let me know if this is possible... If Yes, how I've go ahead make a bootable USB.

  As someone can tell me if there is a way to retrieve the WINDOWS KEY from the recovery disc.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  This can help, but you will need a Vista system to create the working bootable USB key:http://www.askvg.com/how-to-create-bootable-usb-drive-to-install-windows-vista/

  As for the product key, it should be on a sticker on the laptop (usually on the bottom). If it is not readable, contact the manufacturer for further assistance. As we said already, the product key is not on the installation disc.

  Replace broken laptop optical drives is not too difficult, you can see this as another option.
