Upgrade laptop XP on the new home network. Shared for laptop drives. Now computer laptop poster not the zip drives that I plug into the USB ports.

I have a xp desktop machine, an external hard drive, computer laptop xp and a computer laptop win7 on a network home via my Lynksys wireless router.  My friend attached external desktop.  Then shared these discs on the network.  He shared them as drives E and F.  I can access these drives very well.  The problem is that on the computer laptop xp now when I click on my computer if there is no zip drives or anything else connected to the computer laptop USB ports it does not show them.  If I go into Device Manager, it shows the mass storage device connected here.

Another thing.  If external that are shared and the desktop machine is turned off the coast, I can click the icon to the desktop and it displays the zip drive, that I plugged.  It's like I need to rename or remap something?

Hi crazypainter,

When you plugin your USB device, just follow the following process:

Rigth click my computer-> manage-> disk management.

You will find your hard drive, cd and USB dirve listed player, you can do a right click on the drive letter and click on modify.

    Hello

    For this USB drivers should be installed automatically by Windows 7, when you connect the player to what messages we get as appropriate, if you open the computer to open the drive it appears as a removable device?

    If not and with only the connected USB device opened upward Device Manager (Manager type of devices in the area start search to quickly find) then open the USB Buss controllers branch, click it + and looking for USB Mass Storage Device righ click on uninstall, then unplug and plug in the USB pen and see if Windows loads the drivers ok.

    If not there yet with the USB pen connected open disk management and check if the USB key is listed as a removable drive, it may simply need to change its drive letter, change it to X, Y or Z for example.

    Hello

    I have a software application on a CD/DVD drive and I would like to install it on my laptop which doesn't have a CD/DVD drive
    but only a USB port. There is a 160 GB HDD, 1 GB of ram, SDHC, SD, processor Intel Atom N270 and Windows XP on the laptop.
    How can I transfer the application to the CD/DVD to a USB or SD card to install the application full laptop?

    Thanks for your suggestions,

    Two ways:

    (1) find a computer with a DVD drive and make the copy.

    (2) buy an external DVD/CD drive that plugs into a USB port.  They start around $30 and are good for many things.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

    • Plug in and wait five seconds. If the device is not recognized, unplug and go to the next step.

    Hello

    I think that the enhanced USB port is that which is directly soldered to the motherboard and, most likely, on the left side of the laptop where the ports HDMI, VGA or eSATA. The other side ports are connected to the motherboard by a cable and probably use another USB controller.

    Original title: problems with USB ports

    Hi Alba.

    1. who is the operating system installed on the computer?

    2. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    This issue may be caused if one of the following situations arises:

    • The currently loaded USB driver has become corrupt or unstable
    • Your PC requires an update for problems that could conflict with an external hard drive USB and Windows
    • Windows may be missing other problems hardware or software updates
    • Your USB controllers may have become corrupt or unstable
    • External drive can enter selective suspend
    • Your PC motherboard may need updated drivers

    I suggest to connect the USB device to a different USB port and check.

    You can run the Fixit provided in the article and the Coachman.

    This means that the phone ends so much power that the ports are closed to avoid damage to your laptop.  Get a USB hub powered (the one that plugs into your computer and comes with an adapter to plug into the wall) to provide more power, or less plug items on your USB ports at the same time.

    If your laptop is still in warranty contact HP total care. To solve this problem, the system board must be replaced.
