Spectrum 132195ca: WD Passport 1 TB portable drives

I have 2 of these drives. When installing 1 disc, everything is OK and works fine. When I install 2nd disk to the other USB port on the machine recognizes it but does not have a drive letter, so I have no drive listed in the file Explorer. I have a Silicone power drive when installed with a Passport works very well and cannot exchange files between drives, no problem. I've renamed 1 on Passport drives, but still the same. Both passport drives operate at 100% when installed individually and also share files when the SP is used without any problems.

  • WD My Passport not recognized as drive external HARD on windows 7

    Hello

    I would like to ask if anyone has experienced this and how the address the issue:

    I just bought a WD My Passport Ultra 1 TB and tested on two devices (desktop to Win7 ultimate) and portable Win7 Pro. At first I used it on my desk and it it detected as required WDC but subsequently using the router as its update driver.

    -J' checked the Disk Manager, and he's not here.

    -J' checked Device Manager, it is detected as "Internet access server" (maybe the reason a router driver has been used).

    -J' tried to uninstall the server "Internet access" and restart the system to flush it out

    -The Office again the HDD detected as "Internet access server.

    -J' checked BIOS and it is clearly detected as external WD HARD drive

    After all this I tried on the laptop. No problem and did a reformat of the hard drive so that it can be detected as a disk of expenses by the office. Still no luck.

    Hope someone can help me here.

    Thank you

  • Update portable drive to SSD, problems with the installation of operating system and recovery system

    Compaq Presario CQ71, (model CQ71-317EA) portable system, Windows 7 family 64 - bit edition

    Hi, I tried to upgrade the original 320 GB HDD to a 256 GB SSD.

    After that replacement of the naked NTFS hard drive to SSD format, I tried to do a "factory restore" using the DVD, I created some time ago about recovery. The DVD started and recovery program ran very well, first menus for recovery/system control etc. The problem is that the program would not be allowed a resumption of the plant as the HDD was little different/more than the installed hard drive to factory.

    This is the point I'm stuck at, I reassembled the original hard drive while I find a solution.

    Is it possible to find a workaround to avoid having to order a new disc of Windows 7? Any help and advice in terms of simple-ish would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello:

    If you can still read all 25 characters of the product key of W7 on the bottom of your laptop, you can make your own plain W7 x 64 Home Premium installation media and use the product key to activate the installation.

    Download the applicable version of the W7 from the link below.  Use the SP1 media files regenerate.

    Then use this tool to transfer the ISO file downloaded on a key USB 4 GB or DVD.  The tool will make the DVD or drive bootable flash as well.

  • Error code 28: could not find the drivers. Windows 7 64 bit could not find the drivers for my Seagate Expansion Portable Drive. The same system works for another 32-bit version of windows 7.

    Hi, I would be grateful for help on this, I bought a new seagate expansion external hard drive not too long ago (abt 3 months old) and tried to use the device only recently (to back up my files). Windows has detected the drive but says that it could not find the drivers. (code 28)

    When I tried the drive on a 32-bit computer, it showed up working find and dandy. When it is plugged in the computer of the alien-ware, same error.
    Tried the uninstall from Device Manager and restart the computer, still the same error.
    Services.msc open and found windows install offshore. He turned on automatic, but the same error came out. Plug and play Windows was already working.
    Checked Windows SP1 worked, still the same error.
    He got me completely baffled.
    Before this, I had other problems with USB and disabled driver signature Verifier (I think that's what it was called) before you boot into windows. Worked very well for my flash drives each time that I did.
    I also had another external HARD drive which was held only 160G and it worked, so I'm not sure what the problem is with this particular external hard drive.
    Please help, I'm going crazy on this problem...

  • Portable drive device goes wrong

    Alerts this disk device goes wrong on my laptop of HP 2000 and said that I have to back up my files or I won't lose them. Indicates the name of the drive is Hitachi HTS543232A7A384 SATA peripheral Disk Volume: C:. D:\  I contacted HP support and they said, it must be replaced.  I don't know much about computers, so I have a lot of questions.  Is this drive the 'hard' for my PC?  About how much how much it costs to get it repaired? It would be cheaper to get a new PC? (paid $300 for this PC) What would make the disc go bad after only a year and a half? It was the result of a virus? It hurt more than if I continue to use my PC t that I tried to use my Norton 360 to backup my files, but I don't know what I'm doing. Norton Save things like photos and emails or it records only the things that make the PC work?

    Very good questions. Yes, it is commonly called the 'hard drive '. An exact replacement for your player is $ 43 on amazon.com:

    For a few dollars more, you can get a larger capacity drive which is faster and improve performance. Let us know if you are interested by this.

    You choose what you want to backup. You did a restore DVD when the laptop is new? If this isn't the case, maybe you can always use HP Recovery in the program menu. This will be the easiest way for you to get the software on the new drive.

    Hard drives are very delicate and mysterious and can go bad for no apparent reason, but it is an urban legend that a virus can make a record hard to spoil. That's why we need to save, save, save. Never trust of important data on a single hard drive.
