Tecra S2: HDD as unknown device on two of the three USB ports

Hey again,
I thought then that I was here anyway I could ask this too.
The tecra S2 has 3 USB ports, they all work very well for my USB mouse and other small things like the wacom tablet...
But when I plug my external hard drive in two of them, it says that it is an unknown device...

I think, but am not sure, that this might have something to do with something once, we had to do in school;
We had once set up a pilot for a small converted Converter a series (or parallel, cant he recall) cable to the usb port
(I have already uninstalled the drivers but nothing has changed)

It's just a guess...

any idea on how to solve this little problem? : p

Hello

You said external USB HDD appears as an unknown device on two of the three USB ports.
What appears if you connect the HARD drive to the USB port on third?
It appears as an unknown device or what?

The device usually appears as an unknown device in device because manager not installed device drivers.
I check the HARD disk for the drivers and try to install it again.

  • Two of the three USB ports does not.

    Two of the three USB ports on my laptop have stopped working today for no apparent reason. I had nothing new plugged in, I was not something out of the norm with my machine, but the mouse does not work all of a sudden. I swapped on the keyboard and the mouse and the mouse was fine, but the keyboard works not so it's not the device. I ran a diagnostic care on port vaio, he said that there was no problem. Any ideas?

  • Two of the three USB ports works only on Compaq CQ71 (Windows 7).

    Hi, I have a Compaq Presario CQ71.

    There is a USB port on the left and two on the right. The one on the left works but the two on the right are not.  An "unrecognized" message when you use one of them, but not with each other, however there is power coming from him, as when I plug a mouse to infrared light is turned on.
    Ive updated Chipset drivers and BIOS on Compaq website. I also made sure to do all the updates of Windows. Help, please! Its driving me crazy!

    Did you meet a very old thread... but... I know that with some machines, you can actually disable some ports USB in the BIOS. Take a look here and see if there's anything out there.

  • Two of the four USB ports on my laptop has suddenly stopped working!

    My laptop (HP Pavilion) has a total of 4 ports USB (two on the left side) and two on the right side all of a sudden my laptop developed this problem, two ports USB on the left side of the laptop no longer works... They didn't stop working completely, because I can still charge my phone via the ports, but they do not detect any storage device I plug into them. The other two on the right side work perfectly... I checked my mobile device manager and the defective thing only seems to me pointed out under "other devices", where the driver for 'Fresco Logic' hub USB root is not installed... it shows "the drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28)" Please, this could be the problem and where can I find the driver?

    Hello

  • Tecra S11 - 15 t - modem GPRS does not work on the internal USB port

    My moden GPRS doesn't work when I plug it into the USB port of the docking station or if I use a USB port hub. If I plug it directly into the USB port of the laptop, I get an unknown device in Device Manager.

    I tried to reinstall the chipset of my Toshiba Tecra S11-15 t. I can't the device runs directly from USB port on the laptop. I have WIN XP Professional.

    Hey,.

    I n t have experience with such GPRS or UMTS modems, but you can try to remove the USB ports on the Device Manager, and then restart your laptop. After that the ports will be recognized automatically and USB drivers will be reinstalled.

    I guess you also need a driver for this USB modem so I would recommend also reinstall this driver after removing the USB ports from the Device Manager.

  • Device only works on a particular USB port

    Hello!

    I have a model of adapter Belkin F5D 7050 and I used it without a problem since August 2009. He was attached to the USB port on the side of my Dell monitor. I have recently moved house, to get the best signal, I plugged it into the USB port on the front of my office and it was working fine.
    Overnight, it doesn't work at all and after several installs and uninstalls drivers supplied with the device, I managed to get it working again, but it only works on the port from the top on the side of my monitor. USB ports work well and work with my iPhone, digital camera and everything I have except the adapter.

    Now could someone please be kind enough to tell me how will operate on the USB port that I really need?

    I tried to contact Belkin support, but they are without hope.

    I appreciate the time you took to read and help!

  • When I attach my USB to one of my USB ports, I get a message that says "unknown device". However if I plug my mouse and my keyboard in the same USB port it works fine... What do I do? Need HELP I have the info out of my flash drive...

    I need to download a driver?

    It would be difficult to say that you haven't told us the manufacturer and model of the flash player.
    Neither you told us what version, edition and level of service pack of Windows® you are running.
    All of the above information is important to answer your question!

    Please note, however, that in Windows® XP Service Pack 3 , drivers are not necessary for newer flash players.  If you have not upgraded to the SP2 minimum, you can have trouble reading flash drives.  Download and installation of the SP3 may solve your problem.

    In addition, your hardware supports USB 2.0?  If this isn't the case, you may need to install a separate USB controller to use flash drives.  See the documentation for your system.

    If you have SP3 and your hardware supports USB 2.0, answer these questions and we will take it from there...

    No member of this forum is omniscient.  You just have to tell us about your hardware.

  • my laptop does not recognize two of the three partitions. They show as NTFS only

    then, when I open the tab of the computer to look at my hard drives. He initially present with three hard drives with bars informing me of the ive of space used and the space that is open. now, it comes with the hard drive of 1 have the information bar and 2 and 3 have only NTFS letters with no bar. However earlier when I start my computer all hard drives would have the info. bar below them up to what I would like to access. shortly after, they would disappear off the screen (everything that would be in the area a hard drive, an and an another device. HDD 2 and 3 would be same there to click on). I restarted my computer a couple of times now.i have been researching running a diagnosis with little result. If tried looking for more on that NTFS is with little result. I tried analyzing and defraging the hard drives, but disappears shortly after the start to the top. Ive tried vibrions a search and correction program that is located in the Properties menu of hard disks. I ckecked the connection of hard disks of the computer, making sure that they are connected correctly (they are).

    and because of this problem I bought an external hard drive and I'm trying to save what I left on my computer. However it is said that the backup has expired after so long. What is also gives me grey hair.

  • With the help of Windows Easy Transfer - need to transfer the old HARD drive to new computer - old HDD attached as external drive for the new usb port of the computer - help

    New computer installed Windows 7 and gave me an option to use Windows easy transfer to transfer files, data, programs, etc. from my old computer.  All I have from the old computer's hard drive; a lightning strike fried either food or his mother by car.  I have attached the hard as a disk to the new computer using the usb cable provided with the external hard drive case.  It is recognized as drive E: on the new computer.

    Trying to follow the instructions given by the Windows Easy Transfer software.  Get the software/folder from the old hard drive (drive E), but trying to run the software that I can't seem to do anything on the old disk.  When asked what is the former or the new computer - I respond to old, but no new file is created for the transfer.  When I answer again, a new file is created on the new computer (rather than the old HDD) and then he transferred again to new.  I can't create a file of whatever it is I want to transfer from the old HDD.

    I can't use an easy transfer cable because the old computer does not only the hard drive.  I can't connect to a network for the same reason.  I only have the hard that I can attach to the new computer.  But I can't get the new computer to process the old hard drive separately for transfer purposes.  The only other option I can think of is to attach the old HDD to another computer, and then try to run the software in this way, but I don't want just the stuff on the old hard drive a copy to the other computer.

    Can anyone help?  Suggest how to get the old hard drive files, data, transferred etc. to the new computer.  What are the steps?

    Thank you.

    Do yourself a favor, with the old drive connected externally, in the browser, simply copy the data files to the location of Documents of the PC win7. You can not copy programs, they need to be reinstalled from media origonal. You can copy all the downloaded files instalation

    You may need to take possession of your old documents folders - see win help to find out how

  • How can I disable two of the three box?

    Hello...

    I have a box 3. I would like to disable the other two when one of them is enabled so I can allow only one and not two or three.

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you.

    Yes, I tried to follow your request which is to disable the checkboxes unchecked.  I now understand that you wanted to really just to deselect.  The following should work...

    CB1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, updateCheckBox);
    CB2.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, updateCheckBox);
    CB3.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, updateCheckBox);

    private void updateCheckBox (e:MouseEvent): void
    {
    var cb:CheckBox = CheckBox (e.currentTarget);
    CB1. Selected = false;
    CB2. Selected = false;
    CB3. Selected = false;
    CB. Selected = true;
    }

    What makes them behave exactly as would a group of radio buttons.  Maybe your problem with do not receive radio buttons to work was that you didn't assign them as a group.
