USB drives are slow to respond

I'm getting a little tired of USB drives taking a ridiculous amount of time to set up in Windows compared to my Linux machines.  On a Debian Linux machine, a USB installs in less than a second.  That exact same drive - when plugged into a Windows machine - takes from 15 to 30 seconds to set up according to how much spam this particular user has on his desk.

Any suggestions on how to get Windows where it can mount a USB drive in a few seconds?

  • USB drives are still at the stage of editing on my computer

    I am currently using a box of HD10 Storeva (10-drive HARD USB Bay, using ASMT1053E controller, looks exactly like Century model, without the sata port). I used all 10 disks that are mounted on separate directories, but after a bad reboot (power off the front discs than windows), I can't get more on the computer (it's ok on other computers).

    Using only 1 drive, here's the current state:

    -After cleaning the attachment points (mountvol/r) and deactivate the automatic mounting (mountvol N), my computer is able to see the disc (mountvol, diskpart or diskmgmt).

    -as soon as I want to turn up the volume existing (letter to assign to the partition path), the disc is still running (> 12 h) and freezes Explorer.

    -J' have reinstalled the drivers USB (USB controller uninstall and delete infcache.1), reconnected the pilot, but the same behavior occurs.

    On other computers, the disks work properly.

    Any idea what is wrong on my computer?

    JL.

    Hi John,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community. I appreciate the steps you provided.

    I suggest you to run mountvol/r this again removes the volume mount point telephone and registry settings for volumes that are no longer in the system, preventing them to be mounted automatically and taking into view of their former volume mount point (s) when you add to the system.

    After that, run the mountvol/e which re - allows automatic mounting of new basic volumes.

    If the problem still persists please post your request in the TechNet forum using the link below.

  • Cursors in the development in the latest Lightroom module are slow to respond

    I've updated to the latest Lightroom and my problem is not as bad as some. However, it's boring.

    When I click on a slider to move it, the response is slow, and sometimes I have to click it a second time to get attached to my cursor so that I can move it.

    The other problems that people seem to have is caused by the graphics processor. But here, I have a Quadro graphics card and whether or not the gpu is enabled or not makes no difference.

    I have a lot of memory and eight processor so I don't really think there is a problem with my pc. Any ideas?

    Hello

    The version of Lightroom is that I downloaded yesterday. Howevr I just uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom and now everything seems in good condition. The sliders are responds ok. Thank you

  • HP Elitedesk 800 G2 SFF: external hard drive not detected in the BIOS. Only USB Flash drives are detected.

    Hi all

    I received recently 2 new HP desktop computers.

    HP Elitedesk 800 G2 SFF

    HP Elitedesk 800 G2 TWR

    The goal is to test our real W7 x 64 image on these machines and to inject the missing drivers in the image.

    MDT 2010 to create a deployment on a USB hard disk drive.

    This disc of deployment is already used on 16 different models of HP in the company (Elitebook, zBook, EliteDesk) to install our image so I know it works.

    Unfortunately, the two HP Elitedesk 800 G2, I can't start the boot disk but I cannot to USB for a USB key.

    The USB drive is not detected and not proposed in the BIOS Menu of STARTUP.

    Only the internal HD, external USB Flash Disk, DVD and network devices are detected.

    Here's what I already checked or tried:

    • Latest Version of the BIOS installed (2.05)
    • UEFI Boot has been disabled. (not supported by our record of deployment)
    • USB ports are enabled (front and rear).
    • All types of USB devices are allowed in the BIOS
    • The start command has been changed to start with USB devices.
    • Legacy support is active and Secure Boot disabled
    • Delete the keys to secure boot
    • Reset secure by default startup keys
    • This morning, I created a new disk deployment on a USB Flash drive and it works!

    So, it seems that only Flash USB drives are detected.

    I know it is possible to return the flag removalble on a USB device to cheat the system and make it appear as a disk fixed, but I want a simple solution.

    Does anyone know a fix or a workaround for this problem?

    Thanks in advance!

    For those interested in the answer, here's the final results.

    It turns out that the hard 500 GB external drive can be detected if it is fomatted in FAT32.

    It's strange because my 16 GB USB Flash drive formatted in NTFS works very well.

    In any case, I'll create a FAT32 Partition to the Boot MDT files and put my picture (because the file is too big for FAT32 partition) on the secondary partition (formatted as NTFS).

    Thanks to the technical pre-sales team of HP who helped me with this!

  • Not able to copy files on USB drives.

    Original title: hp v165w USB Device

    I bought 2 separate USB flash drives to copy files to each of them seemed installs successfully but then when I want to copy or drag a file to it, my computer tells me no device doesn't exist and please insert a disc into drive F. But USB installed in drive E, Ive tried to do a shortcut for on mmy desktop USB and drag files into it, but it gives a red circle with a line through it, indicating that it is impossible. Please help me understand what to do!

    Hi mrsstacysmith,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community Forum. As you are not able to transfer data in USB drives, try these methods and check:

    Method 1:

    To verify that USB is causing the problem, try connecting a single USB key and then try to transfer the files from the computer and check if it works.

    Once you get the confirmation, try to connect to the second USB and try to transfer the files from the computer and check.

    If the second USB shows the same error as mentioned try connecting to another USB port and check.

    Method 2:

    Check if USB drives are detected in the Device Manager.

    a. click Start, Type Device Manager in the search box start and click on enter.

    b. expand Bus USB controllers and check if the device is detected.

    c. double-click the device and check if the device status says device is working properly.

    Also check if the USB drive is detected in disk management.

    a. click on Start, Type diskmgmt.msc in the start search box and click on enter.

    b. check if the USB is detected as a drive.

  • WAG310G - usb drive

    Hello

    Why some usb drives are not displayed under "storage" on admin the WAG310G browser-Soft when it is attached to the usb port on the WAG310G? Are there special requirements - or the discs must be specially formatted?

    And when I see a disc usb browser-app, is it possible to access also the player directly from a Windows XP machine (for example in windows Explorer) and not only through the WAG310G browser interface?

    Thank you

    Peter

    FAT/FAT32 file system is supported by WAG310G.

    This particular model not (WAG310G), you can't access the drive in windows Explorer. Need to connect to the router interface to access the drive.

  • X220T EXTREMELY slow when you run OS USB Drive

    Hello world

    I searched high and low on this site and many others trying to understand what could be the problem without success. I am owner of a multitouch i7 8 GB X220t with the stock 250 GB hard drive. I've only had the 250 GB because I had planned to upgrade it, but then wouldn't spend the price exorbant for a drive of 7mm at the time of the purchase he treats so any type of. in any case, my unexpectedly crashed the other day, complete HARD drive clicking noise, not light with an external USB Sata or anything, I'm currently in St. Kitts (teaching of medical students) so I have a little wait until I can a new (600 GB Intel SSD!) so I tried to run ubuntu on a USB (I have a 32 and 64 GB once are supposed to be 'super speed' or something else transcend the) brand).

    Here's the weird part, when I run from the installation disc, using live cd, everything works super fast, MUCH faster than putting out the HARD drive and I thought that was becase the disc sports a (and I compared the other day) read and write speed 130mbps 150mbps. But now, whenever I have to install the OS on a disk (partition ext2 not logged or hell I even tried Fat32) the BONE becomes unbearably slow, gel for even the more meanial such as logon or typing or anything like that.

    Does anyone have AN idea why this happens? Is there a driver? or Bios problem?

    I want to save more than 8 GB of memory persistent on my 32 GB stick, and I have this situation for the next month, so please, any help is appreciated.

    Running an operating system on a USB stick is really slow because the USB ports are not very effective to transfer data.

    Now, if you had an ExpressCard with USB 3.0 ports and a USB 3.0 drive, you might be able to keep up reasonably well. I have not tested it myself, but the difference in the execution of a backup of my external SATA 3, 3 USB, HARD drive is incredibly fast compared to use it via the USB 2.0 connection.

    This could be worth in the future, considering you can get a USB 3.0 expresscard shell, disk HARD SATA 3 and 54mm, for cheap, close but not also have the security of the backup feature of cloned drive and rigour, the ability to run your entire operating system off the external drive.

    I forget exactly what I paid for that Setup, but I think the 750 GB SATA 3 was about $ 80, the expresscard (with two USB 3.0 ports) was about $ 40 and the sata 3 capable external tank designed for USB 3.0 and disk of the laptop was about $35. The external hard drive it's thinner than a pack of cigarettes and only marginally more wide/plus. The weight is also surprisingly little.

    Anyway, that might not help much now, but it would be a convenient emergency backup in the future, and it is fairly simple to put up with some software like Acronis offers.

  • Why are external USB drives not considered "Devices with removable storage" by Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium?

    Readers USB Flash RAM, CD drive USB, readers of CD - RW USB, USB DVD +-RW drives and DVD-ROM USB readers are all handled by Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium as "devices with removable storage".  To check this, look under the "Computer" entry in the menu 'start '.  However, if one uses as a USB external hard drive, that one is listed under 'hard drive '.  Programs noticed this, and some of them refuse to use it as a removable media drive, even if it is technically removable media, with its electronic and all.  It's kind of weird, because you can't remove the RAM on the USB Flash memory drives either.  Is there a way to get readers to external USB hard drive listed under "devices with removable storage"?

    -Yekta

    USB hard drives do not seem material RMB (removable media bit) bit set.

    I tried to format my external drive scratch NTFS (it has been formatted in this way, but I have re-formatted to ensure that), and it always happens as "Local Disk".  Also, I put the "Optimize for quick removal" option on the parameters of the disk driver hard software.  Which doesn't change anything either.  It came even as "Local Disk".  Finally, I formatted the drive with the FAT32 file system (use some flash drives).  The drive still shows as "Local Disk".  In the tests described above, I still "withdrew safely" the disk first and then re-connected.

    Thanks for the help, I now know it is a bit material in the electronic control unit which controls special registration of the drive in the operating system.

  • front usb ports are unable to detect the large capacity external hard drive (250 GB)

    Hello
    I have 250 GB external hard drive, whenever I connect to my front usb ports it detected, but pen drives, are to detect flash drives, one of my friends said that you need to update my bios & I here is the motherboard.

    motherboard: Mercury 945gcm

    It is possible that the USB 1.1 and not 2.0 ports that can explain the problem.  In addition, sometimes USB ports out enough power to run an external device that is not powered separatelly.  I don't know if updating the BIOS will help, but if there is an update available for your system (and it MUST be for your system - big bad can occur if you install the wrong BIOS so get with the computer manufacturer, and speak to a representative to confirm that they are appropriate for your system AND your version of Vista) then by all means install it and see if that solves the problem.  You can also get the updated drivers for the motherboard manufacturer, at the same time and see if that helps as well.

    I hope this helps.

    Hello
    The three files that does not loaded at startup proved a Paragon backup facility that I had deleted.  I found in the registry and is more had this error.

    Slow and sudden episodes of "not responding" continues in safe mode, safe mode with network and boot.

    Mr. Fixit noted that I had too many programs loaded on startup that I already knew and will work hard to stop.  It has been useful in this gave me a list of the programs that did not need to start.  Some of this list was a distant base such that suggests my AV does not need to start, but some of it was useful.

    I then started to keep track of programs that seemed more likely to slow down or freeze the machine.  I reduced to one of my drives 3 1/2 inch WD 7200 and my 25 M Intel SSD.

    I ran Intel SSD toolbox and it showed no errors and no updates.  Estimated of life was about 95% and I had the car for 2 years.  There is an option to click that says "SSD Optimizer", and I suspect it is similar to a manual pad because it is one of their first records.  I "optimized" and it was immediately faster.  Intel said to do once a week or two and I never did.

    I ran HD Tune Pro on the WD and it showed a bad CRC so that a warning on the drive, which is less than a year. HD air said the drive is bad OR a cable is bad.  I had a backup, Acronis Disk which took most of the data and I also had the cloud with versioning backup.

    Knowing that the food had been replaced by a technician who had twisted power cables, because most of the readers had been asked in reverse, I attacked this first.  I turned every drive so that the connection of the power supply has been on the same side and reconnect the cable after doing my best to straighten out and flatten the wire.  I then installed a new SATA cable on the WD drive in question.

    Then, wanting to be done with it once and for all and ensuring that I could save between Acronis and my backup of cloud, I used the command line in Administrator, then to Drive E tools mode, error checking.  I ticked the boxes: analyze and attempt to recover bad sectors and automatically fix file system errors.  A reboot and the process had started.

    When you are finished, I seemed to have a catchy machine and some of the programs which often hung, is done in two days.  Programs were pretty much intact, but most of the files had been erased from the disk.  I have restored all wiped files and files of Acronis and the cloud and everything seems to work perfectly.

    Unable to help me, I ran HD Tune Pro and made a mistake (not fast) full scan on the E drive.  She came back without error.

    I know that this drive can fail again, and above all, I couldn't have been this aggressive if I had not had 2 backups.

    Do you think it will fail again?  I decided that, if so, I'll get another SSD (or two) to replace.  Although it will cost you much, I fear that hard drives are not very well made and I don't want to go through this again - and maybe not be so lucky.

    Thanks for your help and I'll post again if it fails in the near future.  Someone knows something about the new SSD Plextor?  Or would you go with Samsung?

    Thanks again.
