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.  :-)

  • Windows 7 will not recognize driver for HP Scanjet 5370c scanner

    I was not able to get Windows 7 to recognize the driver for my HP Scanjet scanner on my new HP Pavilion Elite a9200z desktop computer.  I tried to install the original driver delivered with the software that not only failed, but it was necessary to do a system restore to an earlier date.  After downloading the software update and the driver on the HP website (for the XP operating system. (No), the software successfully installed but Device Manager said there is no driver installed.  I tried Udating driver in Device Manager, but none were found on the system.  I'm afraid that because the driver is not signed by HP, this is perhaps the reason that the system will not recognize it.  I do not receive a message about the driver being made and has been disabled.

    Where would the driver have been installed under Windows and what would be the name of the file?  Is it possible to install a driver that has not been signed on Windows 7, even though I know that it comes directly from the manufacturer.  I came on this forum that says HP email support is no longer in effect for this scanner.  Scanner was working fine under Windows XP.  Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

    Thank you for your response.  I posted the same question to the Board of Directors Microsoft as well.  One of the technicians gave me a link to a website that has software in support of scanners which pilots the manufacturer has not, for some reason, took worth to upgrade to Windows Vista or Windows 7.  I installed Vuescan driver bundled with the program which works perfectly, and my scanner HP Scanjet scanner 5370c is upward and great in Windows 7.  They have a list of more than 100 scanners supported by the program.  So, anyone interested should check the list before you buy the program.  No, the program is not free, but it is much cheaper ($39.95) that pitching on a scanner perfectly ideal of work and having to buy a new one.    Anyway, if anyone is interested in the possibility of using their scanner ' is no longer supported "with Windows 7, the website below might help.

  • Windows Vista will not see Seagate 320 internal drive to format

    I bought a 320GB Seagate (7200 RPM) opportunity and I'm trying to install Vista on it. The computer BIOS sees the drive, but loading Vista it does not show the HD as an external drive and ask drivers for it. The disk has been previously formatted for Mac.

    I don't have a solution to your problem of "dvd".
    I have a suggestion:
    Forget to take the backup of files with dvds.
    Buy an external hard drive and use it for backups of files.

    A hard disk of 1 TB post can be had less than $100, to the Canada. The United States will be even less.

    Thanks to the external hard drive for backups of files, you don't have to sit by the computer and feed it with DVD whenever he asks. You can walk away. The computer will do its thing without you.

    A 2 x 4 in box will store all your files. No DVD more formatting. No more marking each dvd. No stacks more DVD.

  • Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive

    Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive, although it worked well for more than two years.  Now I can't access it to install new software.

    It will not be displayed in the Device Manager, bad shooters to say it is not connected or is, tried Fixit fix (could not as "not applicable to your computer update"), uninstall iTunes (in the case of a conflict - even if it worked with the DVD of > 1 year), etc., but still cannot access the DVD.

    It's obviously a known issue, given that a support page - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976187 that recommends the fix or manually disable ALPM active power management.  If it of a known issue, why is not included in the updates and that I have to disable ALPM power if management it worked ok before?

    What now? Is turn off the power, my only option?  What happens if it is not yet recognized after that?

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Hey Brian39

    If you change the motherboard that you normally have to reinstall vista

    your hard drive if you ever reinstalled vista contains the drivers for the old motherboard etc.

    and if vista is pre-installed you can not put the motherboard unless you do so in collaboration with the computer manufacturer

    If a retail license, you can change the motherboard

    but you will normally always reinstall vista for reasons
