• Floppy USB drive not recognized when installing WinXP on Satellite Pro L40

  History:

  I bought a Satellite Pro L40, it came with windows vista. I can't stand vista windows for obvious reasons. so I formatted the HARD drive. I have a copy of windows XP.

  IV ' e read on the internet that I need Intel storage driver manager...

  IA´ve got the driver, he got on a floppy, and it does not, because when I start to install XP, it works (after pressing F6 & choose the driver to install). I come to the part of license agreement, press F8 accept...

  I select the partition I want to use (in format completely on vista). It starts to load more stuff... so he said "PLEASE INSERT LABELD - INTEL MATRIX STORAGE MANAGER DRIVER - DISK IN DRIVE A:" "PRESS ENTER WHEN READY."

  The disc that I used in the first place is always in. when I press on enter, nothing NOT to PAST (the USB floppy drive is not yet into action)

  How can I make it work? It is that I can get.

  I DON'T WANT BACK TO VISTA - HELP!

  This could happen if the floppy USB doesn t drive supports the standards of law. Some people have reported on different websites many floppy drives are not recognized.

  However, worry guy. I have a solution ;) (jeaaa: D)

  Try to create a new XP CD using the software called nLite!
  Then, you could include the SATA (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) driver in this new CD and then you could boot from the XP CD again.

  For details and how to use the nLite please Google because there are a lot of useful Web sites.

  Good bye

• external USB drives not recognized under xp pro 64

  I bought a genuine version of XP Pro 64 to load on my computer and because Win 7 froze with drivers nVidia graphics.

  When I plug a recently bought Seagate Goflex or one of the new Western Digital external hard drives, they are not recognized.

  They do not show on my computer or disk management at all.

  They appear in Device Manager with a yellow question mark big under 'other devices '.

  I right click on the hard drive in the Device Manager to update the driver, and it always fails.

  Before ask you, these USB drives work perfectly on my other XP Home 32 System. The cables are good.

  I tried different ports, front and rear... no good.

  My system XP 64 Prp is updated w/Windows update and software chip to the motherboard.

  Strangely, I have a hard drive WD Passport USB 500 Gb one-year-old that works fine on XP 64 system.

  WD technicians say that I am the only one with this problem. PlugNPlay needs no driver, what do say.

  I also have IDE/SATA USB cable w / the power cable, I use to connect my old internal drives.

  Works fine on the XP Home 32, but I get the error "USB to ATA/ATAPI Bridge" in the device with the 64-bit System Manager.

  Yes these devices are all "turned on."

  Something is missing on the XP 64 system.

  Help is very appreciated.

  Been looking for a solution for a week now.

  Thank you.

• HP ProtectTools encryption recovery disk: USB drive not recognized

  I encrypted hard drives of a couple of notebooks HP Elitebook 8560p using HP ProtectTools drive encryption. Saved 4GB USB DRIVE formatted FAT32 discs recovery keys. BIOS and latest available drive encryption versions today.

  Today I decided to test the functionality of recovery. So, when the BitLocker Drive login screen appears at the start, I select Recovery. Then I click on browse to find the recovery on the USB drive key. However, the USB is not visible doesn't help not hit 'refresh readers '. I tested it on two laptops. The system simply does not see the USB drive at this stage (works very well under Windows). Any ideas? I lived the most obvious BIOS settings.

  An update on a case where someone has the same problem:

  The USB key is recognized and everything works fine if the laptop is in its docking station, and the USB is connected to the USB port of the docking station.

• USB drive not recognized on the A30-151 in XP

  After a clean install of Windows XP Pro on a Satellite A30 151, a USB device remains in the category 'Other' (after installation of the graphics and audio drivers, modem) for which no driver seems to be available on the drivers CD. At this point, the category "USB" contains four entries, two standard "Universal Host Controllers" and two "OpenHost' controllers, with the default drivers.
  I suspect that the missing device can be a USB 2.0 "PCI controller host improved USB" from another manufacturer, but Toshiba does not offer a driver for XP for it then it should be supported by the OS (?).
  Any suggestions as to what can be and what drivers need?

  It turns out that XP does support USB 2.0 according to the SP1, it seems a pre - SP1 version of XP Pro leads the native Windows drivers is not available. For anyone in a similar situation, it seems as if a) upgrade to SP1 or b) install the hotfix Q312370)

  http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Q312370_WXP_SP1_x86_ENU.exe

  for the English version should throw a lot of download sites) followed by the autodetection of the native Windows drivers should do the trick. However, the following SP1 problem may come into play

  in this case, the "NEC PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller B1" driver required original can be found by searching for "USB driver" for "Windows 2000" for the Satellite A30 Toshiba driver download page.

  I downloaded music files from my computer windows xp on a sandisk cruzer usb flash drive. I tried to download these files to my new laptop with windows 7, but the laptop has stated that it does not recognize the device. What I d0 now?

  I have a 2 GB SanDisk Cruzer so I'm sure it 'll work with Windows 7. It is possible that the Sandisk has installed a software owner and Windows don't is not running. There is an updated version of the US software on SanDisk site which may help.

  Personally, I would remove the U3 of the reader software because it is NOT necessary for training at work. I had to search the disk and launch a program to "delete" in the Launchpad folder on the drive. Once removed, it should work without interference from this program.

  Here is a link to the SanDisk site as well. You should be able to easily do the XP.

• His number disappointed + B500 USB device not recognized at startup

  Hello

  We have 2 B500

  whenever I'm starting, after loading windows they give me an error "USB device not recognized" I don't know what to do any help will be greatly appreciated as it is strange that both machines are giving the same error.

  also on one of the machines the sound does not work, I tried to get out of trouble, the diagnostic says the speakers are working properly, but not her out at all.

  I'm kind of disappointed by these questions, we always buy at Dell, but we thought we would give Lenovo a chance, the machines were barely a few months, when the problem started.

  advice please?

  That error usually comes up when a non bootable USB device is connected. Check the Bios and make sure that the CD drive and HARD drive are loading first. That should solve your problem. If this is not the case, make sure that you don't have any USB stick or disk external HARD connected until the PC load.

• Satellite L30: Usb device not recognized

  I have a problem with my laptop L30.
  When I connect my phone or a flash drive or external hard drive, it is said: Usb device not recognized one of the usb devices malfunctioned.
  Tried to reinstall windows did not help...

  is there a solution?

  Hello

  Hmm. First of all, you should unplug all external USB devices.
  Then go to Device Manager and remove it all concentrators root USB and USB host controllers.
  Reboot the laptop.

  After this procedure, the operating system should recognize and should install new ports.
  Now you can connect to a plug - and play instruments. These devices should be recognized automatically. But some external USB devices need additional drivers.
  Usually these drivers are provided with the USB device.

  I would recommend this review if necessary!
