• Backup and restore does not recognize my external HARD drive.

  When I try to use the ms backup and restore it only recogniza my external HARD drive.

  Is that possible reinstall or repair?

  Hello daniloalvesmaciel,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  First of all, I could check and see if the hard drive is listed on the Windows 7 Compatibility Center. Clickhere for a link to the Compatibility Center. If it's on the Compatibility Center, then check out the web site of the manufacturer for updates or drivers.

  Then check if you see the external hard drive in the Device Manager.
  To check these options:

  1. click on the Start button to display the Start Menu , then selectControl Panel .
  2. the Control Panel window opens.
  Now click system and security from this window.
  3 Scrollfor Device Manager.
  4. click on the Device Manager.
  5. to view material click on any category and the associated list of installed hardware. For example. Click on hard drives.
  Right click on the external hard drive. You can see the different options likeUpdate driver software, disable, uninstall and properties etc.
  6. click on Properties to display the details of the hardware. Click theDriver tab , to view the details of device driver.
  7. then on the software update driver to check and see if you have the latest drivers.

  Then check again and see if you can save on the external hard drive.

  If this is not the case, try to map a drive to the external drive. Can you back up now.

  Please respond and take stock of your problem.

• 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.

• Windows 7 64 bit does not recognize the USB external drive HARD Stor E art 3.5 "

  I buy the art external disk HARD Stor E 3.5 "and spend a few days in windows does not recognize the HARD drive. Try to connect the drive to other USB 2 ports and nothing happens. Use a USB to see if has been a problem with the USB ports, but all 3 are OK. Try it on the laptop Asus and windows 7 recognizes the HARD disk. I formatted the drive in NTFS FS. In managing records do not show the external HARD disk. What can I do to fix this?

  My laptop is a Qosmio F60

  This is a really silly situation. It can be recognized by other laptops but not your Qosmio.
  According to the description of your HARD drive when connected simply doesn t exist for your Qosmio laptop.

  Some other HDD is recognized correctly?
  What you can try is to reinstall the chipset driver, restart the laptop and test it again.

  Since when you have this problem? Some installed updates of the last days?

• Dell DataSafe - 'Create System Recovery' does not recognize my USB flash drive

  Hello

  I just set up my new laptop Inspiron and 'Dell DataSafe Local Backup Basic Edition' pops up advising me to "Create system recovery media" restore my system to its critical failure of hard disk factory settings.

  It gives me the option to save this on a disk or a USB Flash drive.  I have a drive hard laptop "Western Digital My Passport Essential' that I would use for this, that's why I chose the option of USB Flash drive.  However, I get a message "no USB key not found.

  Can someone tell me what I need to do to store the backup recovery system on my laptop hard drive?  (I know a recordable DVD will be probably easier, but I did not and do not want to buy a bunch of them just for that!)

  Any notice received with gratitude.

  Thank you

  I think you may be stuck. It may be opposing on the hard drive because there are already data on this topic.

  You have a friend that can give/sell you a blank DVD?

• Computer does not recognize the CD/DVD drive

  For these last days, my computer does not recognize the CD/DVD drive.  I have tried everything - publishers of registry, check the physical connections inside the computer, the system restore and install Fix - It programs.  However, the computer does not recognize this drive.  I also wonder if it is a hardware problem.  The light on the drive is a constant in green, and does not have the Open button.  And when I use the bent-paper-clip-in-the-little-hole and can open the drive, it will not read the disc.  Please advise...

  There was a little crazy with my video drivers when I started first, but everything works after resetting the BIOS by default.

• Power mac g4 does not recognize the DVD/CD drive.  It has worked very well in Leapard

  I just newly installed Tiger on my PowerMac G4, and now it does not recognize the DVD/CD drive.  I did all the updates and it does not see the DVD in the DVD drive.  It works perfectly before a new clean install DVD of the Tiger.

  What is your indication that the DVD is not recognized?

  Run the utility disc with the disc in the optical drive.  The drive will appear in the sidebar of disk utility?

  I did all the updates and it does not see the DVD in the DVD drive.

  If you put another type of disc in the optical drive, as a music CD, it is recognized?

• DreamColor LP2480zx does not recognize the USB for calibration

  Hello

  I have a DreamColor LP2480zx, which does not recognize the USB connection to the computer during calibration.  I have my eye HP connected through this monitor, so I know the connection and the cable is good and mouse, keyboard.  My setup is like this:

  Reference Dell 690 running 64 bit + Windows XP

  DreamColor LP2480zx

  Apple Cinema Display 23 "

  I bought the DreamColor used, and in all other respects, it seems to work very well.  The original owner didn't have it calibrated within a certain time, but said that having had no problem with the previous calibration.  I installed the last APS (version 2.0) and updated to the latest firmware.  These updates produces no change in recognition USB problem.

  The interesting thing is, I was able to calibrate the Apple Cinema Display, using the same configuration of connection (mouse, keyboard, and HP eye connected to the computer via the LP2480zx) APS was able to see the USB connection and this very well calibrated monitor.

  I had trouble with this problem for a few days.  I've looked around quite a bit online and found a few others who have this same problem, but I did not yet find someone who can point out a solution.  If anyone has had this same problem, or has heard of results that correct it, please let me know, because it's very frustrating.

  Thanks for any help

  Clay

  An update to my previous post, I realized a work around for this problem.

  Apparently, this problem has to do with the Dreamcolor screen and/or software APS do not like working with 64 bit systems.  I'm not saying that it is always the case, but I saw the other posts on this problem on 64-bit systems, and I spoke with two other people personally who told me that they also had the same problem, try to calibrate its Dreamcolor monitor when it was attached to a 64-bit system.  HP does not seem to be concerned about this problem, because they do not even recognize its existence, but since I'm far from being the first to report this problem, he's obviously not a one-time problem.

  My solution was this: I had connect the monitor to a regular running XP 32 bit system.  After I did, I could re - calibrate the monitor without the problem of USB connection.  This isn't a very good solution because not everyone has access to several machines, running different operating systems.  But it's a work around, and it worked for me.

  Hope this helps other people who have this same problem with their Dreamcolor monitors hooked to their 64-bit systems.

  Clay

  PS- I posted this as resolved, only because I was able to calibrate my monitor.  It's not really solved the problem, but it gets the monitor working again.  Maybe HP will address this problem in the future, but I'm not holding my breath.

• Satellite A200-1AE does not recognize the USB 2.0 flash drive

  I have a problem because my satellite A200-1AE with Microsoft Vista does not recognize the USB 2.0 flash drive. He asks me a program/software!
  The same USB works without problem on other computers with vista!

  Someone knows what to do?

  Hello

  First of all, you must disconnect all USB devices and must remove the USB ports and controllers in the Device Manager.
  After this procedure, you must restart the laptop. After a new restart the Vista operating system should recognize the USB ports and should reinstall USB drivers again.

  Then you must update the Vista to the State! All fixes and patches must be installed. Please note that you will have to visit the MS Update site for all patches

  Notes; MS has released a beta of Vista SP1. I installed it on my laptop and it has solved several problems.

  Best regards
