    Hello

    I found the description of the product of this external HARD disk:

    Product features:
    • USB 3.0 - powered portable add-on storage.
    • Voltage of bus capable USB, no need for AC adapter.
    • Easy to use with no software to install.
    • Adapts to large digital files with spacious storage capacity.
    • Protect your drive (internal shock sensor and ramp loading technology).

    Specifications
    • Capacity: 1.0 TB
    • Interface: USB 3.0
    • Transfer rate: up to 5 Gb/s
    • Speed: 5 400 rpm
    • Average access time: 12ms
    • Cache buffer: 8 MB

    It is a HARD USB 3.0 drive. No doubt the HARD drive is not recognized correctly in windows exploerer due to the low power.
    The USB 2.0 port common feeds only 500mA. The USB 3.0 device must be able to 900mA.
    Therefore, it would be advisable to connect this 2 ports USB 2.0 HARD drive with a USB Y cable

  • Aspire 5740g and the dvd drive does not appear in 'my computer '.

    I had to have a new installed hard drive I got an error message saying old default disk.

    I also had a clean install of windows 7 that I was uncertain if my discs that I created would be ok.

    So I have not all the gifts that have been installed on the laptop like new. Now, I find that the dvd drive is not displayed in my computer and nothing happens when I insert the disc.

    This has happened a couple of days and I did a restore of the system to a previous restore point.  Does anyone know how to solve this problem.

    I also do not have the secure egis - any ideas how to get this back

    Then... your DVD is probably defective.

    did you check in the BIOS if it is listed on bootable devices?

    Press F2 at startup, if it is not listed, it is defective.

  • USB Flash drive does not work with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

    I have several USB thumb drives, some of them do not work when I plug them in while others work very well. By experimenting, I reduced the problem with the 64-bit Version Windows. All of these USB keys works well in my other computers that have 32-bit installed and also even computer with the 32-bit version installed on different hard drive. All of these thumdrives are detected immediately and works without a problem. The 64-bit version, I have uninstalles and reinstalled readers, drivers updated for readers and controllers USB chipset, reasigning letter drive without a resolution of the problem.

    It is interesting to know that this problem only occurs with some discs that I (like Ativa 4 GB, 4 GB generic and Verbatim 4 GB). While I discovered that you can do all the nonworking day thumdrives work once if you shutdown computer and plug the thumdrive into the USB port and the computer to boot, boot time is longer than usual and when it is operational in 30 to 45 seconds drive appears in the list of devices and you can read, write and format normally without any problem to experiment. When you pull chase him and reconnect to USB port after 10 seconds same problem appears aggai. First of all, you get the message that the disk must be formatted and if you try to format you will get a message that windows cannot format the drive. If you try to access the drive, you get message that Drive is not accessible. If I take this player and plug it from 32-bit without problem, you see all the files in the drive and are able to read the writing and the format is normally.

    I'd appreciate if I am able to get an answer as a way to solve the problem.

    When you disconnected the battery of the laptop, you did, be sure to press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds?  This causes the rest of completely discharge power.

    This tip came in practice more than once in my experience.   ^_^

  • the cd/dvd drive does not appear in my computer or in other places! so I can't start the CD

    After upgrading windws vista to windows 7, I can't find cd/dvd drive in my computer (sony vaio) .plz I can do to fix this?

    Hello Rash0411,

    Thank you for your message.  First start by going to your computer manufacturer's website and download/install the latest driver for your device.  We will check the following:
    Click 'Start' > right click on 'Computer' > select 'manage '.
    Click on Device Manager.
    Expand "readers of CD-ROM/DVD-ROM" (you see a yellow!, or you see your drive at all?)
    If you don't see any of your drive, you may need a bad connection of your drive power to the motherboard or power.
    Please let us know.
    See you soon

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if the drive is seen in BIOS or not because in the worst case, need to replace the disk.
