• Windows Vista does not recognize external USB 260 GB HARD drive

  I have a 260 GB Seagate external hard drive, a laptop Toshiba satellite and Windows Vista Basic.

  The same Windows usually choose the hard drive when I plug it, it does not appear in Device Manager and in disk management, the only way I can get it to work is to uninstall all the USB root hub and then restart the computer, and then reinstall the USB root hub and plug my hard drive.

  When windows finally recognizes him, the only way to find the driver must choose c:\ manually and there's the search for the computer.
  Works for the time that I have the computer hard disk, but when I stopped it, next time I use the computer, I'm having exactly the same problem.

  I tried to remove the hard drive safely and then close the computer and by him plugging back in after windows has loaded, I tired it connected from the computer and tried to close the computer with connected.

  None of these work.
  Can someone help me please?

  Strange?  :|
  But what need s say Microsoft Windows so I don't expect 100% without bug OS ;)

  Disconnect the USB HDD and remove all the USB ports and Device Manager USB controllers. After restarting again the OS should reinstall ports. Then you could try to reconnect the HARD drive.

• Satellite L50 - B suddenly does not recognize USB devices

  Suddenly my laptop does not recognize any USB.

  The USB key or external hard drive works on other computers, but not on my laptop.
  Only cards SD-are recognized.

  I tried to remove the usb portals on the Control Panel, but after I restarted my computer all returned.
  One reappear with a caveat that it does not work, but when I search a new program to run it, it can not be found. After removing it, it comes back with the same caveat.

  I also tried to download the new discs (chip set utility) but who doesn't either.
  I don't know what else to do.

  Can someone help me if I can access my USB-products once again on my laptop?

  Hello

  What about the USB mouse? You can use the USB mouse connected to one of the USB ports?

  Have you changed the system or you have installed new OS on this laptop?
  I m asking because the L50 - B Satellite supports USB 2.0 as well USB 3.0 ports

  In the case where you have installed the new OS (Win 7?) on this laptop, the USB 3.0 ports would require additional USB 3.0 driver

  However, in case that you are always using the OS preinstalled Toshiba, I recommend you to reset the initial setup and test the USB ports once more.

• Managing disks in Windows 7 does not recognize external hard drive

  It is a recent event. I backed up my computer only 45 days ago and it worked Ok. The same external drive has no problems with your Windows XP desktop.

  No other USB devices is facing this problem.

  Device Manager identifies the mass storage device (WD1140), as well as the USB controller.

  This utility cannot sort.
  It is not possible to change/assignment of a new letter to the reader as disk management does not identify her. I also tried to use the command-line (list disk)... the only disc that displayed is internal.

  I tried to change the USB port, without result.
  The operating system is Windows 7 Starter.

• Windows 7 does not recognize USB devices. Have no system access keyboard or mouse.

  Separated from this thread.

  It is a question.  I have a Windows 7 laptop.  It has three USB ports.  They always worked perfectly.  Today, one of them stopped: Port_ #0001.Hub_ #0002

  A sign of error says: "unrecognized usb device".  Troubleshooting, said that there no problem but under properties of the device, he says that Windows has turned off because it has detected a problem (Code 43).  I tried to plug in several things: camera, various readers flash, mouse, etc. They all used to work properly until today.  Now, it's just a dead port.

  Hi Seiberte,

  Thanks for posting the request in Microsoft Community Forums. I appreciate all the steps you tried to solve the problem.

  What is the brand and model of the computer?

  A device driver has notified the operating system that the device failed. This situation can occur if the peripheral equipment fails or if the device driver fails.

  To resolve this issue, follow these steps.

  1. To open Device Manager, click Start, click files, and research programsand type Device Manager. A list of the available items will appear above the search box; Click on Device Manager. Device Manager opens with the name of your computer to the top and a list of the devices installed on your computer under the name of your computer.
  2. Locate the device in the list of devices, right-click on the device and then click Uninstall. When a warning message that you uninstall a device in your system, click OK. Device Manager uninstall the device.
  3. Right click on the name of your computer in the Device Manager, then click on Search the hardware changes. Device Manager scan your system and reinstall your device automatically.
  4. Right click on the device, and then click Properties. The general of the device, in the State of the device Properties dialog box tab, you should see the message this device does not work correctly.

  If the steps above do not solve problems with the device and the device is an external drive, such as an external hard drive or USB flash drive, use the icon of the taskbar to safely eject the device, and then disconnect the device from the computer. For devices that use AC power, unplug the unit from the wall outlet or the power strip, wait 30 seconds and then plug it in again. Turn on the switch of the device and then plug it into your computer. If the system includes a driver diskette, ensure that you have at hand to install device drivers; otherwise, Windows should automatically locate the appropriate drivers and install them.

  In addition, make sure you use only the root USB ports... without hubs (sometimes the front-end ports are hubs... use a rear USB port). And don't forget to try to disable the USB power management in the configuration of your system (Device Manager).

  My apologies in advance if this is redundant - there is no way to be sure that if you have already seen and tried these. I can attest that DTM does not indeed a BB under Win7... mine is exactly so.

• Qosmio G30-163: encoder Windows media does not recognize video devices

  I can't get the Windows media encoder to recognize my video camera connected to the S-video (Qosmio G30-163) port.

  I have a similar problem with Web conferencing pro application Marratech (it crashes after 15-20 seconds if I try to use it-during the time the application is inactive - in configuration I see the photo/video test).

  If I use InterVideo® WinDVD Creator 2 Platinum software packaged for video capture it works fine.

  Hello

  In my opinion there would be something wrong with the compatibility of the MCE and s-video. Have you tried to run the MCE updates?
  If the s-video connection works with InterVideo WinDVD Creator, then I guess there is no hardware malfunction (s-video port).

  How about the video and the port? Have you checked if it works?
  This port allows you to import video data from analog video camera.
  I recommend you this option

• Satellite A300 - easy (key) does not not after SP2 update

  Satellite A300 easy (key) does not...
  I have recently upgraded my Vista SP1 to SP2 (do not know if this is the problem, but I'm pretty sure that's not)

  Yesterday, I discovered that my easy keys no longer work. Lights are out, when I press the keys, the light comes on and goes off again as they do normally, but no reaction on my screen (can not turn on any light without restarting my computer and select turned ON manually cannot transform media of windows opened by the touch and play the key do not work).

  Is it supposed to be a driver or something for this?

  Sorry for the bad English...

  Hello!

  A few days ago, I had the same problem on my laptop Qosmio. Lighting keys stopped working after installing some updates and the 3rd application programs the keys no longer works and also the lighting.
  At the end of the story, I had to reinstall Windows :(

  In any case, now, you should try to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package. He controls these buttons that you want to say and you can find it on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  Before installing you need to remove the old version first, restart the computer, clean up your Windows with CCleaner for example, restart again and then install the new VAP.

  Good bye

• Satellite A30: Does not recognize USB devices.

  My computer does not recognize any devices when connected to the USB Port on my Satellite A30. After downloading SP2, I was able to install the printer, but I can't use it because there is no printer icon in the toolbar. If I want to print something I get the window of the printer, select printing, then it goes to the author of the Image of MS Office. Basically, I can't use my printer or any other device connected to a USB port.

  However, it was working perfectly fine when I had the home edition of XP but I can not reinstall this one because there is something wrong with the recovery disk that's why I had to install XP Pro.
  Also, I used to get a sound, letting me know that a device has been connected. I get more or the icon in the toolbar.

  Is that what I could do to fix this please? Is it possible to get another disc of recovery somehow? Obviously, it's something to do with XP Pro software, but I don't know what to do.
  Could you please help me?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  If you get a window of the printer you need to select the right printer. If printing goes to MS Office Image writer so the right printer is not selected.

  On the new installation: If you install the operating system from the original Windows CD you must install the necessary drivers and QFE patches all in the right order.

  USB port: I found a useful paper on this topic:
