  Hey,.

  Wait a moment, Matt: do you have upgraded to Windows 7 with the new CD/DVD drive or do you have it before you exchanged the drive?

  You get this message from Windows?

  If so, it seems that it s not installed correctly and you should try removing the upper and lower filters in the registry:

• historical files Windows 8 does not recognize my drive hard iomega

  I have problems with the historical establishment of files to back up my files, because the program does not recognize my Iomega portable hard drive.

  I get this error message whenever I try to backup the files.

  Historical files does not recognize this player!

  They appear in the my computer list and I can drag and drop files it, all right.

  Any ideas?

  OK, I cracked now the problem of the history files do not recognize my USB external, even if the drive expansion drive had worked initially and he was behaving normally in the file Explorer. Here is how I have it done - it worked for me on my PC - maybe it will work for others.

  1. open the file history, and then click Select Drive. Select a different drive than the one that fails to be recognized. (If necessary add a HARD extra internal drive to your PC. If you have a laptop you can try adding an extra USB drive to a different USB port - I have not tried). Continue to set up the history of the files on the new disk. Then turn off historic files on the new drive so that a whole bunch of files are not transferred.

  2. go on the external USB drive that has not been recognized, find the folder of the file history, and rename it to "File History.old" or remove it.

  3. go to your C:\Users\your user folder\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows, find the folder of the file history and rename "File History.old" or remove it.

  4 re - open history file, click Select drive and select the original USB key that was not recognized. The player must now be implemented normally and begin to function.

  5 remove the folder from the file history on the hot spare used in procedure 1. above.

  The process described above is relevant to situations where people can change drive letters by adding or removing disks or the system of travel between readers and for this reason the history of files configuration files are pointing to the wrong drive.

• Windows 8 does not recognize DVD drive

  Hello world. I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate for Windows 8 Pro, my laptop HP Pavilion 1287la g4, 64-bit. I used a Windows 8 Pro DVD to upgrade, everything was going well after the upgrade as fully recognized pilots, tool integration, and all my personal files were saved.

  The only problem I found is that after the upgrade of the DVD drive is not recognized. It actually isn't even in the devices. I contacted Hp and they were able to help me make the drive detectable, but now I see that the icon of the DVD in the devices shows a yellow warning, which means that the driver of this material is not found or is corrupted. I did everything that I can to search for the driver, but still the BONE says it's updated with a generic driver. However, the reader does not always show upward. Please help with a better solution. I really like Windows 8 and I don't want to go back and upgrade to Windows 7 again. Thanks in advance.

  Try the following steps:

  1. run the command as administrator prompt. Type cmd in Windows 8 modern user interface and press HUMINT + shift + enter

  2 type following and say enter

  Reg.exe add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Controller0" / f/v EnumDevice1 /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001

  3. reboot the system

• Portege M400 - Windows 7 does not see HARD drive

  Hi, I have the problem, I am trying to install Windows 7 on my M400, but he didn't see the hard drive.
  The hard drive is surly ok, ' couse I tested it in the other netbook, I can see it in the BIOS, but any program installation can not.

  (I tried both Ubuntu and XP Tablet Edition)

  Hi Radzik,

  I think that Windows doesn't see the drive HARD due missing RAID drivers Windows needs of these RAID drivers before you can install it because it doesn t contain these drivers for the disk HARD is not recognized. You can download the RAID driver from Toshiba Web site.

  You can then create a new installation disc using nLite with drivers or copy the drivers on an external floppy drive. Start Windows XP after you press F6 to load drivers from floppy drive.

• Windows 7 does not see SATA drive

  I just upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 and now cannot access the SATA drive that I use for storage. I desperately need help to access this drive.

  Any help will be appreciated.

  I've seen suggestions on the use of upgrade instead of the custom installation, but upgrade XP to 7 is not available.

  It doesn't matter anymore that I managed to blow a capacitor on the motherboard and had to replace the guts of the machine. The new motherboard had no problem see the SATA drive. Of course, he can't see that the IDE drives so I traded one problem for another.

  With all this, I made a whole new computer, which I'm sure that will soon show it's own set of problems.

  Thanks for the help. And you can mark this resolved.

• Windows 8 does not have a driver for a Canon 9950F scanner

  My Canon 9950 Scanner (Canoscan toolbox) worked on my XP and Vista OS, but there is no driver for my new system of Windows 8. Can anyone help?

  I hope this helps someone. I have a Dell XPS 8700 with 8.1 Win 64 bit on an SSD. As everyone knows the drivers Canon 9950f only go up to Win 7 64 bit. So I installed the twain driver for win 7 64 bit and the Canoscan for win 7 64 bit. I installed using the compatibility option. I rebooted and plugged my USB and it works! I love my 9950f and stressed it would not work on my new computer.

• Satellite U300 - Windows XP does not see HARD drive

  Hello

  I've updated the BIOS with the latest version, I've built a floppy with the SATA drivers, none of them work, XP Setup is not able to recognize the HD.

  Surprisingly enough the BIOS SATA mode option can not be seen.

  Any idea?

  Kind regards
  Lionel.

  Hello

  Not all BIOS contains the SATA option!
  In your case, I recommend the construction of a new CD of Windows XP by using the nLite.
  nLite is a free tool and allows you to include the SATA dirvers in the Win XP CD!

  Then you can use the new XP disk to start and new installation of the OS

  Search here in the forum! There is enough discussion on this procedure

• Windows 7 will not assign drive letter to e-SATA drive

  I have a Seagate 1.5 TB SATA disk mounted in a Thermaltake case which has an e-SATA connection. The drive has been formatted NTFS on a Windows 2000 computer and a backup on this computer has been correctly written to disk. When I connect this drive to my 64-bit Windows 7 computer (Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2 m/b using an e-SATA port connected to the Gigabyte SATA2 chip) Windows recognize the drive where the disc is displayed in 'Remove hardware safely', but Windows 7 does not allocate a drive letter.

  The disk appears in disk management (currently Disc 3) without a drive letter. When I right click on the blue band to the right of the box Disc 3, Windows cross-hatches the white rectangular box below the blue band. When I click on 'change drive letter and paths' I get the following message «the operation failed because the view is not updated...» "None of the proposed remedies work.

  The results are the same regardless of whether I start the computer with the drive connected and running or hot plug disk.

  My e-SATA 1 TB Fantom drive works fine on this computer.

  I would appreciate any suggestion you may have.

  Hello

  Look in Device Manager if there is an item under "storage volumes", called "unknown device". If there, uninstall the driver to do this and as soon as I reconnect the windows disc and see if it assigns a drive letter. If it isn't

  Try this;

  Go to Device Manager

  (1), look for an entry that says "Unknown disc" or something similar. This entry may not be marked with the error icon.

  (2) after you locate the entry, right click and select "Uninstall".

  (3) after you have uninstalled, press F5 or select "Search the hardware changes" in the action menu.

  (4) the pilot is then reinstalled correctly.

  P.S - I found these answers in other forums showing the same error message. Try them and let me know if it was just a waste of time.  :-)

  I'm certainly not one of those who need to be pushed. In fact, if anything, I am the prod.

• Windows 7 does not detect multiple external hard drives

  I recently bought a HP Pavilion laptop to 7 Home Premium. I have two 500 GB external hard drives. When I connect them individually to the system, they are recognized and I can copy files to and from these External Drives. But when I try to connect both at the same time, Windows 7 does not detect the drive I connect then. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  If the disks are powered by the USB bus and do not have their own external power supply the problem is that the laptop does not provide sufficient USB power to control both.

  The USB specification, is that each port should provide 500mA at 5V. To keep their batteries, laptops usually provide 500mA to share between all available ports. If you need to use several USB devices with significant power, you must either externally powered USB hub or to provide the devices with their own power supply to cutting.

  3. use the icon remove the device safely in the taskbar to stop the machine to remove safely.

  5. Insert the compact flash card.
  6. the computer does not recognize removable storage (that is, it is not assigned a drive letter and does not appear in disk management).

  The only way I can get windows to recognize the drive is to restart my computer. How can I get windows recognize the drive without having to reboot?   This problem does not occur with USB flash drives.

  UPDATE (04/03/2010):
  I have more information, I hope this helps to reach a solution.

  -J' repeated the steps above 1 to 3, with open Device Manager.  In step 3, in the Device Manager window, the icon for the question USB mass storage device becomes the exclamation point in yellow triangle icon.  Check its properties on the tab "General", in the "Device status" box, it says: "Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been established for"safe removal", but it has not been removed from the computer. (Code 47)  IX this problem, disconnect the device from your computer and then reconnect it.  Click on 'Search for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available. »
  -J' then removed the card and rest of the error state.
  -J' I re inserted the card, and rest of the error state.
  -J' I then tried to update the driver by accessing the tab "driver", click on "Update driver", click on "Automatically search for an updated driver", and the result was "the best driver for your device is already installed."

  I found the solution on this hp web page:

  Basically, it says NOT to use the function "remove the device safely.  Instead, just right-click on the drive in the Solution Explorer, then choose "Eject".  Works perfectly.

  Some excerpts...
