  Connecting and disconnecting USB devices:

   

  Most USB devices can be removed and disconnected at will. When you unplug the devices of storage, such as USB flash drives, you should be sure that the computer has finished saving all the information on the device before removing it. If the device has an activity light, wait a few seconds after the light has finished flashing before unplugging.

  If you see the icon remove the device safely in to the far right of the taskbar notification area, you can use this to ensure that devices have finished all operations in progress and are ready to remove. Click the icon and you will see a list of devices. Click the device you want to remove.

  You can use any USB port when you plug in a device you have installed beforehand. However, the first time you connect a device to a particular port, Windows will install the driver for this device again.

Therefore, we recommend that solve you these problems with emphasis on device drivers, configuration of device problems and hardware compatibility issues.

  Are you sure that the USB is not bad? Also have you tried on some other computer USB3 ports to see if those who can see the drive? Looks like your USB is not USB3 if it can read the disk HARD USB3 but not the USB3 Flash in question. Also make sure that your laptop ports are USB3 ports? In the contrary case, we owe this: to check if the ports are USB3...

  How can I find my model number or product number?

• Boot failure when you attempt to auto detect the USB mass storage devices

  I have two USB mass storage devices.  The sizes are 320 GB and a to.  I had problems at the start to automatically detect a storage device.  After reaching the Office I can usually unplugg the 320 device, reconnect, Windows detects the device.

  August 10, I bought an an external HDD TB to start the backup of my entire C: drive operations.  I rebooted automatically while watching a DVD tonight.  I rebooted the PC and hanged when executing start-up procedure notice of automatic detection procedures.  I held the Start button to shut off the PC. I unplugged the external hard drive, PC rebooted. Start continued without external devices.  I reconnected it the external hard drive upon arriving at the office.

  The purchase of an external hard drive, see the same issue using the smallest disk, tells me that the error is in the operating system.

  Hi Troy382438,

  1. is this startup crashes before windows loads?

  2. you have SP2 installed on your computer?

  If windows hangs at the POST (Power-on-self-test), you may need to update the drivers from the motherboard.

  If windows crashes after windows loads, you can try the following steps.

  Step 1

  Install SP2 if it is not installed.
