USB Port driver problems
Windows XP Professional will not recognize my key USB flash drive in the USB ports before; However, it does not recognize the flash drive in the back USB ports of the Tower pc which is very annoying. How can I get the drive J it is called on the front USB port of the tower to recognize my flash drive? I want so that it can detect the flash drive as soon as I insert it into the front USB port. In addition, the front USB does not detect my Ipod USB port or USB digital camera.
Sometimes the front USB ports are not yet connected, so it's good to open the suitcase and check. Sometimes these ports on the motherboard just died, especially if the computer is old.
Have the ports before does not work, is a very common problem that can have various reasons:
Unfortunately, it will be difficult for someone who is not practical with the computer to help effectively. It's strictly a hardware problem and nothing to do with Windows.
A good solution is to buy a USB hub (I prefer those motorized), attach it to a rear USB port, but do it right from the start where it provides additional ports are easily accessible. USB hubs are not terribly expensive, around $ 25-30 for a motor home. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

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).

ScanDisk USB Flash Drive problem after upgrade to El Capitan
After the upgrade to El Capitan, I can't access the vault secure on my USB Cruzer facet flash drive. I have Plug and display files as usual but when I try to open the safe, I get the message ' Scan Disk Secure Access V 2.0 requires San Disk USB Flash Drive. Please insert one. »
The Flash Player has worked fine before the upgrade to El Capitan and I can still use the files outside of the secure vault but, basically, I cannot now access the secure vault. I'd appreciate any thoughts on how this can be resolved. I only am not an expert so please, keep it pretty simple.
Sounds like a problem of compatibility with the Secure Access software and the OS X El Capitan of SanDisk. Try download and install the latest version of Secure Access of SanDisk.
It seems also be other users having the same problem, you may get better assistance with this through SanDisk. Someone else said that upgrading to the latest version of Secure Access has solved the problem.

My USB FLash drive is a Transcend JF V30 4 GB, the problem is when I connect it, it shows the safe removal icon in the system tray, but don't show as a removable disk in "Cpmputer. I've included a screenshot.
If the screenshot isn't visible, click here
It is probably a case of unassigned drive (USB key).
1. right click on my computer icon
2. click on manage.
3. go in "Disk management" / removable devices and assign a drive letter it manually.
4. right click on the drive without letter & click on "change drive letter and paths...". »
5. click on 'change '.
6 assign an alphabet.
7. click on OK.
There should be an unassigned drive exists in the disk management table. I'm so sure because your USB 'plug & play' detects the drive & drive (Hardware) is also correct on the other machine.

Configuration of USB 2 external 500 GB USB hard drive problems
Hello gentlemen.
I recently acquired a disk hard external 500 GB USB part number PX1269E - 1 50.
I have some problems with the configuration of USB 2.0 in windows XP. When I connect it to a usb 2.0 port, I get the message "USB HDD high speed plugged into a hub non-hi-speed usb", and the unit remains low-speed (12 Mbps) USB. (I checked the port with an another usb 2.0 device and the port works correctly in usb 2.0 mode).
I checked the PXI1269E - 1 50 in other PCs and I have same results. I can't make it work in USB 2.0 mode. I also have some problems with the virtual CD that is always present when you insert and mount partition. There is a way to remove it?I only use the hard drive for data backup every day, and I don't want to use any other drive letters in my system.
The main PC is an ASUS P4P800-E deluxe with windows XP SP2 fully implemented to update and build in the USB 2.0 controller intel.
Best regards
DA P
I have connected the 500 GB HDD (PX1269E - 1 50) to my Satellite M40 and it works fine. It works with USB 2.0.
Guys, I think there is something wrong with the controller software or the registry is damaged. Maybe an update is necessary.PS: I have not installed the additional software on the supplied CD. The operating system automatically acknowledged.
@parabolix: using SP1. Try to install whole MS and SP2 updates.

Hi all
I am trying to use a GPIB-USB-HS device on my laptop that I used successfully on my desktop. NOR-488. 2 is installed on the laptop. The Wizard "new hardware found" appears when I plug in the USB. I select locate and install and I get a message saying "windows didn't load the installer for the GPIB. I wait a few seconds and I'm propted to insert the disc that came with the device. I do (NOR-488. 2) and continue the installation, I get to the point where things should start to arrive and I tells me that the driver is already installed. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck. I tried to look for the driver to my desktop and put the file on my laptop, not to go as well. What should I try next?
It is my understanding that the driver for the device is NEITHER-488. 2, at least it's the only drive I had with the unit, and documentation says there is a device for the device support. It seems in any case, I have solved my problem. I plugged the camera and went into the Device Manager and I put it on the tab interface NI GPIB driver. The computer recognizes it from there. I am running.

I'm Win10x64 running on latest El Capitan. When I upgraded from fusion 8.0.2 to 8.1.0, I could no longer communicate with all FTDI device that I plugged in USB. There are some devices that I have with FTDI chips create COM serial ports (debugger microcontroller pods, etc.).
To go back, I uninstalled vmware tools and downgraded fusion to 8.0.2 and reinstalled the previous vmware tools and everything works well. Something seems to have changed in 8.1.0 that breaks it.
Yes, it is a known issue in the merger 8.1 and should be fixed in the next version of the patch. In the meantime, version 8.0.2.

Satellite A300 - USB port and fingerprints issue
Hello
I'm starting this thread that I have problems with my fingerprint reader and my USB port.
I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-C01 laoptop. It was purchased in September of last year. I have not used it much except for the first week I had it, I've been away (Overseas), and I didn't take my laptop with me (I took a former I). There is no chance that the laptop has been used so that I was absent because I live alone and that the cell phone was simply sitting in the computer room.
I started using it again about 3 weeks. Around a week ago, I noticed a pop-up (bottom left of the screen) telling me that a USB port had problems. I put my FlashDrive on the first USB port and at first, it was not recognized. I tried with another flash drive I have and who has been recognized. However, every time I start the computer I get who pop up telling me that there is a problem with the USB port.
I also met a problem with the fingerprint reader. A pop up appears in the lower left side of the screen and say that the fingerprint reader was having problems. Happened since then that the problem with my USB port began to appear. About an hour ago, I checked the Device Manager and the fingerprints fingerprints/biometrics scanner does not appear in Device Manager.
Has anyone else had this type of problem?
What did you do to solve it?
I would appreciate comments that I have no other choice at this time until Monday when the Toshiba support is available (they are available Monday to Friday).
Thanks in advance,
Deanne.
First of all, you should try to update the chipset drivers and software of fingerprint. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:
http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download driversIf it doesn't work you should try to update the BIOS. Check the Toshiba site for an update.
In the worst case, you must reinstall the laptop with the Toshiba recovery disc. So you can make sure if it s a hardware issue or not.

Original title: Windows 7 USB/Flash drive problems
In Windows 7, if I plug in my USB drive, the message box appears titled ' do you want to scan and difficulty of removable disk (e :))?» If I click on Scan and Fix, he deletes my files (or so I thought). I hope that the files are still there and I have simply can't see because the drive is FAT32 and not NTFS (it says that most of the drive is NOT of free space, so I assume that the files are still there). What should I do to see / access files?
Note: A reader, I never selected "Scan and repair"... so I can still see/access files.
On the other drive, however, the first time I plugged it on Windows 7, I clicked Scan and Fix and it erased all the files on this drive (I guess). This of course got me very angry.Hi MichaelGramm,
It seems that the file format has been corrupted. You might consider formatting the drive in NTFS file system and check if this solves the problem. For Windows 7, the best choice for hard disks is NTFS.
Note: Make sure that you back up the data before formatting the disk.
See these articles for more information on formatting disks and flash player:
Create and format a hard disk partition

Formatting disks and drives: frequently asked questions
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/formatting-disks-and-drives-frequently-asked-questions
Caution:
Formatting erases all existing files on a flash drive. If you format a flash disk that has files on it, the files will be deleted.
Hope this information helps.

Tecra S3 external drive usb disconnects on all usb ports
Hello
I have a Tecra S3 with the following problem:
When you work with external storage devices, my devices disconnect by them - same (somethimes) after somethimes 5 minutes after 1/2 hour and when working with multiple devices all devices disconnect at the same time, a place of the problem on each usb connection.
I tried various storage devices such as sticks of memory cards sd with a usb adapter and hard drives.
How can I tell if the problem is hardware or software partners?Greetings,

It seems that your usb devices sometimes need ampere more supplies (500mA max) usb port.
Establish an external usb hub and connect your storage devices. The usb hub must be active (with adapter)!
It should work. -
