  I have a HP Pavilion running Vista Ultimate.  Recently it stopped recognizing my cd/dvd drive.  The regedit procedure does not help, because I have no UpperFilter registry entry.  Where should I go next?  Is there a link that will take me to more useful information?  I don't know how to get instructions for regedit go to "next steps". Thank you!

  Hello. I just bought and traded because I thought the first was faulty, a PX1394E - 3 50 500 GB HDD USB 2.0 external hard drive that uses Fire Wire, USB. Now I ve tried all USB devices, to begin with it uninstailling everything on we / off on to just pluging it when we / off and it keeps saying be the devide was not recognized and it doesn't propperly (small box pop up bottem left of the screen)

• Art of STOR E external 1.5 TB hard drive is not recognized by Vista

  I have a HARD drive that I brought in Europe, it was working fine and all of a sudden when I turn it on, is now telling me one of the devices USB has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize.

  I can hear the HDD spining, and you can feel the playhead to move when you turn it on, would that be a driver or a firmware issue?

  I have a lot of backup data about it as I can't afford to lose, then it would remove and put it directly into my computer to see if I can read it?

  > I can hear the HDD spining, and you can feel the playhead to move when you turn it on, would that be a driver or a firmware issue?

  You can try to connect to any other computer external HARD drive. If it would not then he s seems to be hardware problem.
  Of course, it is s to connect the HARD drive directly to a HARD drive controller to see if the BIOS recognizes the HARD drive maybe it would be your last resort

  requires a driver during the installation, the USB floppy drive is not recognized in all
  installation. When Windows XP searches the driver of the second time, he will not be able to see
  the floppy USB drive drive and prompts the user for the driver (RAID) again.

• Satellite L10 - battery not recognized by Vista MS

  Hello

  I use MS Vista on my Satellite L10 and everything works great except my battery which is not recognized by Vista. There is just an unknown device in my equipment manager. In the section on the homepage Toshiba drivers I couldn't find a driver or other instructions. The MS Hotline told me this isn't their but question Toshibas.

  I hope that this forum is someone who can help me solve the problem. I just want to know if my battery has enough power for 20 minutes or 2 hours and I really hate it if my laptop is suddenly out of power.

  Thanks in advance.
  Christoph

  Hello

  You have installed Vista on the L10?
  Wow I know Satellite L10 is not Vista capable and you should be happy that this OS works without big worries on this Satellite phone.

  However, I recommend the Vista update to the last State, to install the compatible chipset from Intel page.

  But I assume that the BIOS on this laptop is not fully Vista capable that this question therefore appears on the L10.

• On laptop CD/DVD drive is not recognized/is missing. Having read the other topics, problem still not solved.

  I'm on a computer laptop gateway and my cd player does not work all of a sudden. I can eject and put CD in there and it will hum for awhile, but nothing will happen. I went to Device Manager and it is not yet listed. I read the other topics and the problem is still not resolved, please help. Also, my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE folder has not all folders in there, so I can't go to system/etc to delete anything because there is nothing to remove. Thank you for your time

  Hello

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

• Satellite A200 PSAF6A - HARD drive is not recognized. No recovery of product

  The drive HARD in my Toshiba Satellite A200 PSAF6A-0US01N is not recognized in the machine or any other computer, so I can't run any windows/toshiba repair.

  I know that readers have a factory reset hidden on the disc and press 0 to the power upward, but with the unreadable disk, how can I repair my installation of Windows Vista?

  Hello

  If the HARD drive is not recognized by the BIOS or other laptops, then I would say that your HARD drive is defective.
  In this case, you need to replace the HARD drive.
  In this case, you will not be able to start the recovery procedure from the HARD drive because it works badly as he has already said

  Are you from the Australia? If you need a recovery disk, I recommend contacting the local Toshiba ASP to get this drive
