  • T420 driver windows problem 10

    Hello

    I have ThinkPad T420.

    Could someone help to find the drivers for these devics:

    (1) USB\VID_0BDB & PID_1911 & REV_0000

    (2) VEN_1180 & DEV_E823 & SUBSYS_21CE17AA & REV_05 PCI

    (3) PCI VEN_8086 & DEV_1C3D & SUBSYS_21CE17AA & REV_04

    I just upgraded to 10 Windows, and I can't find these drivers. There is no drivers for Windows 10 on the support page. I tried to use the lenovo system update, but completely the thing it installs is "dependence of the device.

    Best regards.

    1. There is no driver win10 of Ericsson and Lenovo for the F5521gw. And most likely will be unavailable again.

    Therefore, to use drivers win7 in compatibility mode, there are mentions on the success on the forum (probably, win8.1 drivers work also).

    Install the drivers in the folder where the drivers package is extracted to launch the following string:
    Setup.exe /wNOAUTOSENSING /wUSELASTKNOWNRADIOSTATE

    2, 3. As you understand, drivers Intel MEI and Ricoh are needed.

    I know of cases successful on ThinkPad Laptops, the SandyBridge-based (as T420) and the upgrade of win10, without problems, using built-in win10 drivers only, and not from Lenovo or components manufacturers. Unfortunately, currently ms update catalog does not load the drivers of their identity documents, because of the error appears.
    So, I can not explain the cause of problem of drivers.

    Finally, I didn't check whether the Ricoh site related win10 drivers.

  • v125W 16 GB USB Flash Drive reporting disk full when moving some files

    Let me apologize in advance if I put this topic in the wrong forum!

    Hi all! I received a v125w 16 GB USB Flash Drive for Christmas (link). Works just fine until I went to move some files .iso to DVD on it so that I can transfer them on my netbook to watch while I'm away from home for long periods of time. in any case.

    The .iso files are standard DVD rips of discs I own, so the question of the integrity of the hacking or file is not a problem here. The .iso files work very well on my desktop, I can be read and can also burn backups without a hitch.

    Each .iso file is at 4.35 concerts after a tear. When I try to drag and drop them on the flash drive, windows tells me that the destination disk is full and I need to free up space. I get this message, even when there is absolutely no other files on the flash drive.

    I put the .iso file into a new empty folder and tried to move in this way, but it gives me the same results. So I threw a bunch of other files in a folder (any of my .iso files) and got 7 concerts in total. He moved very well in the flash player.

    I ripped a DVD of my son and the resulting file is 3.28 GB in size. I can move this .iso on the FlashDrive without problem.

    But now I'm at the end of my rope as to why this is happening and what to do now. It has no sense to me at all. If someone here on the Forum could provide some advice on what I need to I would really appreciate it. I prefer not having to sit on hold with HP my entire weekend.

    original title: drive hard extreme airport

    Using Windows 7 and the Airport Extreme.  The Airport Extreme has a USB port that can be used to mount an external hard drive which is accessible via the wireless connection.  Only thing is, I can't get a 2 GB flash drive will appear for mapping.  When I use the other hard drives, they never show upward for mapping.  They show that it is connected to the Airport Extreme, but are not seen by my PC.   The internet has a rumor according to which hard drives will show up only on a PC if they are to FAT32... which would work without another formatted hard drive.  What do you know about my problems of compatibility with hard drives?

    Although I think that the question is really the Airport Extreme also updates Windows 7 WiFi.
    Check with the system manufacturer and the real device manufacturer updates the driver.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version.

  • OPTION TO DELETE FAST WINDOWS 7 USB FLASH DRIVES INCLUDE SOME EXTERNAL HARD DRIVES?

    A few years ago, when I switched to smaller hard drive 640 GB HP pocket of Sandisk USB key I used the "Quick removal" option of Windows 7. "Fast moving" option includes the "Pocket reader." The reason for the request is when a Pocket drive is connected, and I right click, go through the process of menu to find the "Quick shift" box to check, it is not available. Is there a way to safely remove external hard drives without going through the routine "eject safely. Drives external hard should they be ejected safely or are "hot" or "n"playing card"or are they covered under the option"fast moving "?

    Basil,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Since my first question on this topic yesterday, I have since rediscovered the path that I took two years ago to upgrade my computers in a mode of "quick release". Affecting the computers 'Fast moving' allows me to plug the device I want to use, open the file and when you're done just to remove the USB device without formally engaging the button 'Remove the device safely' at the bottom right of the screen. The option "Fast moving" indicates it where you make your selection. That's my experience of the option "Fast moving" includes the small Sandisk readers of thumb size and big HP 640GO type readers of external pocket. I used this method for the readers of 640GO Pocket nearly two years on a daily basis with two separate HP and assorted small Sandisk flash drives. Here are the instructions to activate the "Quick removal" option, I got:

    (a) Connect USB or external storage device

    (b) click on 'computer '.

    c device), right click (the item you just plug it in)

    (d) click 'properties '.

    (e) click on "hardware".

    (f) to find the device you just plug in the list, and then click to open

    (g) click on the button 'change settings '.

    (h) click on tab 'Strategies '.

    (i) select the "Quick removal" option (default)

    (j) click on 'OK '.

    Before applying this option, I was using the option 'Remove the device safely' has not always allow me to eject safely. Many times I reboot with the element always connected to try another withdraw safely. That's my experience from two years of consistent "hot swapping" or "chart n"play"according to the method of the"rapid withdrawal"with all of the data still intact.

  • Problem with 2 USB flash drive in Windows XP sp3.

    I have a USB 2 pci card - USB 2 card, with the hub 7 ports (powered) USB. Sometimes, everything works fine. Most of the time I can't access flash USB dirve. Printer, scanner, camera, photo, mouse, all connected work very well. Plug the flash drive and errors occur. The flash player works fine in laptop (Win xp sp3). Difference between the two machines, the laptop has only 2 USB ports. Have tried to uninstall the USB controllers and re-setup. Flash drive works fine in the desktop integrated USB 1.1. Have checked with Kingston USB drive flash technical support without success.

    When dirve flash does not, Device Manager displays the flash player at the top of the page section of controllers USB bus, as well as generic USB (USB 2?) hub. When the flash works do not drive, hub Generic USB appears in the second USB bus controllers.
    Someone help? Please, I beg you.

    Hello

    Tried your suggestions, without success.

    Have now connected powered hub USB 2 on my edge USB 1.1, with all devices USB works fine.

    Probability of problems seems to be my pci - USB 2 card.

    Being disabled, it is very convenient for me to have the hub USB 2 powered on my work surface to facilitate the connection of my devices.

    Thanks for your help anyway.

  • USB Flash drive problems

    I have a USB key that does not work. It's a drive 8 GB flash USB 3.0 which has been formatted and works on my Macbook Pro. The problem comes when I try to use it on a Windows device.

    When I format it under OSX Extended it appears under Windows but is empty.

    When I format it in FAT, under Windows it says that the device must be formatted first

    Either way, when I go to format the device on Windows it says that is only 200 MB space

    Any help would be appreciated.

    If you want to use a USB flash drive on the cross-platform (Win, Linux, OSX) computers you have the next chance:

    -MS-DOS (FAT) format:

    If you want to start the drive on a PC or use it with older versions of Windows, you may also need to set the partition to the Master Boot Record (MBR) for full compatibility Windows scheme:

    • Click the drive, and then select the tab "partition".
    • In the "Layout of the score" dropdown, select "1 Partition".
    • Click on 'Options' and choose "Master Boot Record" as the type of partition, then click 'OK' and 'apply '.

    Format discs very quickly, although the total time required will depend on the size of the drive.

    The file system resulting is compatible with all versions of Mac OS X, Windows 95, 98, Windows XP, Vista, 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, is one of the most widely recognized and usable file system formats. What makes FAT ideal of the file system to use for external hard drives or USB flash drives that are designed for use in environments with multiple operating systems.

    ATTENTION! The main drawback to the use of FAT32 is the file size limit, which limits the files on the drive to be 4 GB in size or less. If you need single files to be larger than 4 GB, use exFAT, even if you lose compatibility with older versions of OS X and Windows.

    -Format in NTFS and use a program like Paragon NTFS on your Mac ($ 15/20).

  • Laptop HP 17 p100: how the usb flash drive big that I have to create a system of 10 Windows Recovery?

    How the big usb flash drive do I need to create a system of 10 Windows Recovery?

    Yes

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    There is really no way accurately guess in advance, with one of the reasons being that the options are available when you do this.  An option creates a recovery drive minimum with what is needed to repair the operating system.  Another option creates an image that is able to completely restore the operating system and its partition.  Thus, the size can vary from 4 GB to the size of the partition to the OS.

    Myself, I found as build-in recovery to be unreliable, especially those of Ms.  So instead, I use a third-party imaging/restoration solution known as Macrium Reflect.

    What I recommend is the following:
    (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
    (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
    (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key

    My experience is that SIR, when you use the option of Compression high, typically allows to compress the image file recorded at about 50% of the space USED in the OS partition.  This means that if you have a 40GB and 80GB OS partition is used, MR must only about 20 GB to store the image file.

    I use all the time and it usually takes less than 10 minutes to make the backup of the image and at the same time or less do a restore.  In addition, MR has the ability to add a recovery Boot Menu entry.  This then allows you to boot into Windows re, and then you can use it to do a restore - when you cannot start Windows!

    NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

    Good luck

  • Envy 13 d001ne: cannot install Windows 10 from usb flash drive

    Summary of the problem:

    The laptop SSD has a GPT format. I am trying to insall a Windows 10 ISO I have on it from a flash drive. Formatting a usb startup as TPG manually or using Rufus drive will not make the unit visible non-traditional mode. Formatting the drive in the MBR on the other hand I cannot install on a GPT disk.

    I've tried everything. I disabled and enabled secure boot. I updated the BIOS to the latest revision F.35.

  • 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!

    Put it in a bag of rice for a few days or more. -seal the bag.

    If you remove all the moisture, it shouldn't affect the USB ports if nothing is
    possible. Usually it is not a problem if the moisture is removed.

  • Windows does not recognize the USB flash drive

    Hello
    My USB does not work when I plug. It seems that Windows recognizes the device because it is found in the Solution Explorer window, but if I want to create a folder or a file on the USB key I have the following message:
    "Cannot find this article.
    It is no longer in < %3="" null :="" optext=""> . Check the location of the components and try again. " < br=""> also the files that are copied to the USB flash drive are not visible in Explorer and it looks like the drive is empty.

    I want to emphasize that the same (Kingston) USB flash drive works perfectly under Windows XP operating system on another computer so it may not be a problem with the device. The same problem also appears when you use a different USB (another manufacturer).

    Thank you!

    Hey, 101 a.

    , I just posted a fix I found for my USB flash/go to work again.  It was a very simple solution, too.

    I unplugged all USB devices first, then tried my USB jump drive again.  IT WORKED! I've narrowed the problem to the new printer that I use.  It's a Mono Dell Laser MFP 1125.  Whenever it is plugged into a USB port, my USB doesn't work.  All other devices work, but not the USB is the printer is connected

    I don't know what done to block the flash/USB key, but unplug printer allows the jump command to work again.  I will contact Dell on what did the printer driver to block the flash player.  Just an info on the fix I found.
