  • USB internal card reader not detected by Windows 7 Pro 64

    The return of the story is this: my Dell Inspiron 546 recently dropped when the HARD drive failed terminally.  "Rather than replace the HD, I opted for the upgrade of ' with a refurbished desktop computer.  I'm done with a Dell Optiplex 760 MT, which I am very happy with.  He has a new 128 GB SSD mounted and I have a new 1 to Seagate Barracuda disk HARD ready to go in it, when I get a longer SATA data cable for it.

    In any case, I got a few pieces off the Inspiron to go in the Optiplex: memory card reader 2-4 GB of RAM, DVD - RW and media 3.5 "internal.  The RAM of works well (taking the system to a total of 6 GB).  The DVD - RW works fine (once I activated the SATA port in the BIOS).  However, the card reader does nothing.

    I plugged into a vacant USB connector on the motherboard, which has been marked something like "INT USB".  However, Windows doesn't see it, and it does not show in the Device Manager.  It's as if she is not there at all (no lights, nothing).

    This card reader worked fine on the Inspiron (which was an AMD Athlon 64 machine, but running Windows 7 it 32 b).

    Any ideas?  I had a glance through the BIOS and can't see anything obvious.  I assumed that being a USB device, it would just spring to life, but I do not.

    The Optiplex has the following important elements:

    Intel Core 2 Duo 3 GHz (E8400)

    Intel Q43 chipset

    Transcend SSD 128 GB

    6 GB of RAM (2 x 1 + 2 x 2)

    (HD 3000 memory) integrated Intel graphics card

    DVD - ROM (standard adjustment)

    DVD - RW (from the Inspiron).

    The fixed.

    First, to use the USB header, you should disable the "floppy" in the BIOS.  I tried this but it didn't work.  However, States manual service, you should disable the front disk to install the player, so I unplugged the drive, put under tension, then stopped again, plugged in and restarted.  I also disconnected and re connected the cable at the end of the drive.

    According to these fixed it, I don't know, but now it's the hunky dory, seen in the maps of Manager and reading of the device as it should.

  • HP v125w 2 GB drive flash not detected by windows

    My flash drive is not detected by windows what should I do

    I have a HP v125w 4 GB flash drive that works on Windows 2000 and 7.  However, I also have a disk 16 GB flash of v125w HP which works on Windows 7, but was not recognized by my system Windows 2000.  Here's what I did to get Windows 2000 to recognize (this may not work for everyone, but it did for me).

    I plugged the flash drive to 16 GB on a Windows 2000-based USB port and ran:

    Norton SystemWorks-> Norton Utilities-> find and correct problems->

    Norton Disk Doctor-> diagnosis

    that gave me the message:

    Insert the diskette to diagnose in the E: drive.

    So, I ejected the flash player, it plugged into the USB port and you click on diagnose again.

    Norton Disk Doctor consulted the flash drive, diagnosed and gave the following report:

    There is no problem detected on drive E:
    Partition table... Jump
    Structures of files... Ok
    Surface test... Jump

    After this, the flash player was working fine on my Windows 2000 and Windows 7 computers.

    Thus, this procedure is awakened somehow the reader as much as to be recognizable by Windows 2000.  I hope this helps you.

  • Brother printer has not detected by Windows 7 64 bit.

    Brother DCP145C has not detected by Windows 7 64 bit. What port is recommended for the local printer - LPT1? Windows 7 should detect when the USB connection, but there is no activity. Similarly, the mode to scan on the printer is not responding to "check connection". Thank you.
    Checked the port LPT1 and COM on Device Manager and seem to work correctly. No updated driver needed updated port.

    Hello Richard,.

    If several USB devices are plug-and-play, printers need a print driver to work even on a USB port. I went to the Brother website and a research on the model of printer "DCP145C" increase any responses - are you sure the model number of the printer (not the part number)?

    You have a printer disk supplied with your printer? If you do, try to use that to install the print driver. As far as LPT1 goes, is for a printer with a parallel port (printer), and the COM ports are for those who use the ports series.

    Thus starts with the right model number and look for brother.com right print driver (or use the disc that came with the printer). Try and see if that solves the problem for you.

    Let me know how you fare.

    Kind regards

    Hi Sonrio,

    According to the description, it looks like the game capture card Roxio is not detected in Windows.

    I have a couple of steps that should help you with this problem.

    If your computer is having problems with a recently installed device or other hardware, try to use the hardware and peripheral troubleshooting tool to solve the problem. It checks the common issues of interest and ensures that a new device or hardware connected to your computer has been installed correctly.

    Open the hardware and devices Troubleshooter

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-hardware-and-devices-Troubleshooter

    Method 2:

    Try to connect the card somewhere else USB and check.

  • CD/dvd drive not detected by windows

    my reader of cd/dvd in my computer hp laptop dv6000 is not detected by windows. It is powered, both the BIOS and Device Manager detects it, but windows doesn't

    IM on Windows Vista Home Premium.
    I had this problem before and I managed to fix it by unplugging and reconnecting the Cd/dvd drive (nothing to lose, no more warranty), but after doing a system restore, the problem resurfaced again.

    The hard drive is a Toshiba MK1637GSX ATA Device
    I tried to use the pages of Microsoft support without success. I have no upper and lower filter.
    I already tried with also Device Manager nothing doesn't.

    Help, please!

    Hello

    Please start from the top and do it, even if you've done it before as is often the
    all operations which solves the problem.

    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.

    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.

  • Old hard drive PS3 by USB box not detected by Windows Vista

    Hello

    I recently updated my old HD PS3 40 GB with a 500 GB one. Since then, I bought an external HD for my old HD, in the hope that I could use it as a hard drive for some files I have. However, I encountered a big problem - Windows Vista does not detect the HD.

    So far I read a lot of posts on the internet with people having similar problems, but with no definitive answer, so I hoped to get :)

    So far, I've tested the speaker on both the different 40 GB and new 500 GB PS3 in HD, as well as 2-3 computers. Nor are detected by windows... both have the power (green light is on, and I can hear the disc rotation), but are not detected on the management of the devices or programs in 3rd (SwissKnife). As far as the computer is concerned, nothing is connected.

    Thinking that it was probably a hardware problem, I whipped my laptop HD out and connected on a separate computer and it worked without me even having to he invites. This leads me to believe that the device works perfectly and its something about the PS3 HD, who doesn't like Windows.

    The only thing I have not tried is put my old hard drive to the PS3 in the PS3 and reformatting. The only reason for this is a screw on the case of the PS3 has decided, that he's not budging despite all my efforts. Its now 12:45 and I'm too tired to fight with 1 screw more! :) I really don't know not how tabling in so well, 3 others went fine and I deliberately don't screw them in tight with the new HD after I read about the problems people have had by removing the screws.

    Someone at - it suggestions at all? How to get Windows to recognize that this has something plugged in, on how to remove that last screw embarrassing! Whatever that either would be appreciated!

    Thanks in advance
