  I tried the external hard drive on a desktop pc and it works fine.

  I have downloaded all windows xp service pack updates and updated my bios. Don't know what to do now.

  Please help and thank you in advance!

  Hello

  Although sometimes, I know that the OS is not able to recognize the external USB device, because the device external USB (HDD) consumes more energy than the 500mA.
  The USB ports provide 500mA power and if the device needs more power so it s is not possible for the Windows operating system to recognize the external device.
  You have an external power supply for the USB HDD? You should use it.

  Good bye

• HP envy Phoenix: win 7 does not start with connected external hard drive

  I have a desktop HP Envy Phoenix with i7 chip and an SSD for the OS.  If I connect via USB external drive of 3 TB WD for the backup of the system does not start while it is attached.  The pc seems to be trying to boot from the outside, can't find the OS and does not start.  It will start fine with small external drives connected.  It is the size of the disk? Is there a way to fix this?

  Hello

  The WD drives seem to pose problems of my potential.  I have used other brands such as Seagate and Hitachi without running into problems with external USB drives causing the system to boot.  Maybe it's the USB adapter that I use which does not cause starting problems.

  @tpetras

  I used the adapter HP USB 3, which uses drivers NEC or TI and has never had a problem starting via a USB external (non - WD) readers.

• HP 6120 t BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller

  Hello

  HP 6120 t (vista) BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller. The other SATA disk and the DVD player came with the machine.

  I hooked my old 200 GB Hitachi drive via the controller. I also put the jumbers in the present as a slave. I also took the original WD drive and just connect the IDE hard drive. BIOS do not show any drive at all.

  I would try something possible at this time I have a lot of my data on the old disk.

  Try to enter the BIOS and I believe under change of Advanced menu of SATA to IDE or Enhanced.

  You need to do when you install Windows XP or you will get a blue screen and it does not start.

• Backup Win XP does not recognize my external hard drive

  Windows XP Backup Wizard does not recognize my external hard drive and does not list it as an option for storing backups.  I suspect a registry problem because the backup wizard previously recognized this drive and saved on it several times before I was running ARO 2012 for cleaning the registry errors.  I can always open the player in windows Explorer and see the files it contains, but Explorer Windows XP now lists the drive as an "expansion disc" instead of a 'removable disk '.  When I right click in windows Explorer and open 'properties' for this drive, it shows it as a 'local disk' instead of a 'removable disk '.  The drive is ok when I click the button 'Remove hardware safely', and it reports "safe to remove hardware" after I click on "USB storage device - Drive (J :). ».  Help!

  Who did.  Thank you!  Now... I used Aero2012 to clean up the errors in my registry that's because my computer is desperately slow, especially when you start (8-10 minutes) and also with internet explore (move cursor to previous typos when you compose a new e-mail message).  Is there a safe way for me to speed up my computer?

  Windows does not recognize my network connection and it didn't install my wireless driver.

  Maybe I need a chipset driver, but I found no drivers for windows 7.

• 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.

  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?

• Win 7 does not recognize the file type for the installation of the theme.

  Original title: download and install desktop theme

  I would like to install the panoramic snow theme but shows like PanoramicSnow.deskthemepack file extension. Win7 does not recognize the file type for the installation due to the addition of the "office" in the extension.  would it be possible to have that corrected please?  Thank you!

  Hello PMacCk,

   
  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.
   
  Basically, the .deskthemepack extension is not recognized by Windows 7 because it is introduced in Windows 8. The new "panoramic" desktop themes all use this format.
   
  For reference, please see:
  1. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/snow-panoramic-download-theme
   
  2. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robmar/archive/2013/11/26/snow-panoramic-theme-for-windows-8-and-windows-8-1-now-available.aspx
   
  There are still regularly .themepack themes available and those who continue to work in Windows 7 and Windows 8. Please visit the following link to download and install the themes:

• The Web of Toshiba site does not recognize of my drive hard number and P/N

  Hello

  There is a little less than two months, I bought my HDD Toshiba Canvio Basics 3.0 from Amazon. The hard drive has stopped working for some reason any (I drop or something, it simply stopped working).

  Of course, I was trying to use my warranty to repair or Exchange it, but the Web of Toshiba site does not recognize my serial number and product number. They are just there, black and white on the sticker on the back of my hard drive, but the site says they are not valid.

  Someone has an idea what is happening? I would rather not throw 50 euros by the window for less than two months of use.

  Product number is HDTB105XK3AA - and not to HDTB105 * E * K3AA like some sites say (including Amazon).

  Thanks for your help.

  Stand by. Have you contacted Amazon using Amazon options for repair under warranty or Exchange?

  Check please help Amazon option and collect detailed information on defective, damaged or significantly different returns.

  Two years ago I had problem with the mobile phone bought by Amazon and I send direct Amazon with bill Amazon.

  By the way: can you please post the link where you have tried to check the serial number of your HARD drive?

• Windows XP does not recognize Portable Toshiba external 500 GB hard drive.

  I bought a Toshiba Portable external 500 GB hard and connected to my Windows XP. My windows XP will recognize any unit. I went into my computer > management > drivers to find the drive and rename it. He wasn't there. I have Windows XP SP2, and I said that Windows XP SP3 is not compatible with this device.  I went to control panel > adding hardware > allow Research Assistant for devices not installed and it still did not.

  Any suggestions?

  In the future, please start your own thread.  It does not appear that your problem has much in common with that of the previous, other than you poster, both have a problem with an external drive.

  Open disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK)
  Your portable player should be shown here (probably as "disk 1" in the lower pane)

  

  If the disk space presents itself as "Not allocated" (as in the figure above), right-click and select "New Partition".  During the operation of the wizard, you assign a drive letter.  I suggest that your format using NTFS.  Once the disk has been partitioned, formatted, and has a drive letter, it should show in my computer.

  If the drive is already partitioned and formatted, see if you can assign a drive letter to right-clicked on.

• Satallite X 200: Win 7 does not recognize cards SLI in Geforce Dual 8600MGT

  Hi all

  I have a Satallite X 200 part number: PSPBUA-00N007 it has dual Geforce 8600 M GT graphics cards.
  The laptop comes with Windows Vista (32 bit (I think).
  I recently formatted the hard drive and installed Win 7 x 64 bit.

  The problem I have is that Win 7 is not recognizing the two cards. In Device Manager, it lists only 1 card.
  I tried the latest Geforce of Nvidia drivers that support SLi... not good.

  I tried to install the graphics card Toshiba for 64 bit vista drivers... not good.
  _The pilots work, but recognizes only 1 map monkey. _

  I get no SLi option in the nvidia Control Panel.
  Everything leads me to believe that the cards are not recognized by the system as being a pair of SLi.

  I can't find the graphics drivers for win7 64 bit on Toshiba.

  Is there something that I am missing? Is there another driver I need to install?
  I even installed a Toshiba chipset driver pack for my computer Toshiba Web site.

  I am in a bind. Help, please! :)

  Hello

  As far as I know two different drivers for graphics cards have been published for the X 200 series.
  A pilot has been published only for the models with a single graphics chip and the other driver was released for X 200 series equipped with two GPUS (SLI)

  Thus, for example the v7.15.11.5664 of 64 bit Vista driver is released only for SLI models.

  Since there is no other driver Win 7 on Toshiba page, I think that the only possible solution is the use of the driver of nvidia page.
  http://www.nvidia.de/download/index.aspx?lang=en

  The laptop supports dual NVIDIA GeForce 8600 M GT graphics with NVIDIA SLI technology
  So try the nVidia Driver.
  GeForce-> GeForce 8 M series (laptops)-> GeForce 8600 M GT-> Win 7 64 bit
