    hard drive not recognized during windows server 2008 setup

    Hi,
    Whether the hard disk is recognized in BIOS?
    Connect it to another computer to see if it could be recognzied incase the cause is the disk itself. Also please check if it is really a RAID instead of a single hard disk - a single disk should be recognized directly while RAID cannot be recognized until
    a suitable driver is installed.

  • USB flash drive not recognized on desktop or disk utility

    I see a number of similar threads to this but nothing solves this problem.  Any help will be greatly appreciated as I am about to go crazy!
    I have 3 USB thumb drives that all worked 2 days ago - now only one does.  I have tried all drives in multiple ports and the same result.  I have restarted the iMac (2009 Yosemite) a number of times and the same result.
    This came about attempting to create bootable USBs with each of these.  I was struggling with the process on my mac so took 2 (brand new 16GB PNYs) to a PC created the live boot USBs and they booted fine on the PC (knowing this wouldn't boot my mac).  I did however plug them into my mac and they were recognized.  I finally found success creating a Ubuntu live boot with my old USB.  With that success I wanted to try with one of the new USBs on the mac.
    Here is what I did:
    1. Using Disk Utility - Reformatted the drive 1 partition MS Dos FAT 32
    2. In Terminal unmounted the drive and ran a dd command to copy the linux .img file successfully
    3. Box came up saying drive not recognized and selected to ignore (this happened on my old one that still works also)
    4. Ejected drive from terminal
    5  Restarted mac and attempted to boot from USB without success.
    After this the 2 new USBs were no longer recognized in any usb port while the other still is.  They do not show on the desktop nor in Disk Utility.  I checked them on the PC and they are still both recognized and showing the FAT 32 format.
    Help please!

    Thank you for the reply.  I found some time to go through this process a number of times without success
    Any other suggestions?

  • MSI UBO-30 External Slim Bluray Drive not recognized under Windows 8.1

    Hi, does anyone here have MSI UBO-30? It is an external bluray drive from MSI. For some reason the drive is not recognized under windows 8.1 64 bit (it just says USB device not recognized). But works fine if plugged into Windows 7 machine. Anyone encounter the same issue? 

    Try upgrading your usb 3.0 drivers on your system. That worked with My GS70 Stealth Pro...

  • VirtualBox: Flash drive not visible in Windows Guest

    Maybe this was better asked in a Windows forum but I'll ask here first
    I have an installation of Win 7 in VirtualBox and I can check to use my USB flash drive but although in Windows there's a sound notification that a removable drive was connected I can't see it in the Explorer.
    Any idea how I can access it under Windows?

    Hmm. There is a thread started by yours truly for the same problem (only in x64 Arch hosts), but that was fixed by wonder back in version 4.0.8-2.
    Are you also using x64 Arch as host? That thread has "other" solutions. See if those work for you. To be honest, I haven't fired up my win7 vdi in a couple of weeks so I wouldn't know if it works. But I can check tonight.
    Here's the thread I was talking about:  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=121377
    EDIT :: Try what wonder says below first, if you haven't already. Then if that doesn't work, try the thread that I linked.

  • External Hard Drives (and some flash drives) Not Recognized by Server2003

    I recently purchased a new computer (Dell T100 server) and old Server2003 disk (OEM disk on eBay). Installed Server2003 and added File Server role only. My data is located on a Western Digital Passport that is recognized no problem on any other computer in the office (all XP). When I connect it to the server (front or rear, same result), it does not give it a drive letter, and says there are 0 bytes used 0 bytes free. Under Computer Management->Storage->Disk Management it shows: Volume: blank, Layout: Partition, Type: Basic, File System: blank, Status: Healthy. It's as if it does not know how to read the file system.
    What do I need to do to Server2003 to get this drive with my data on it to be read by my new server?

    Hi,
    Following is the System Requirements from Western digital’s website.

    Yes, generally speaking, if an external drive or flash drive can be recognized by Windows XP, it should work in Windows Server 2003. However, there is no guarantee.
    If possible, I recommend that you plug the “unrecognized” drive to some other Windows Server 2003 computers to test whether it works. If the issue continues, I suggest that you contact the vendor or the drive for more details.
    By the way, what’s the version of Windows Server 2003 you used? Please update it to the latest service pack to check whether they works.
    Best Regards,

  • USB flash drive not recognized by computer. Have tried all options of which I can think.

    Okay.  I have a Patriot S-Mini 32GB flash drive that my Windows 8.1 HP Slimline 400-434 is not recognizing. I believe it recognized it once, and has refused to do so since. My laptop (Windows 7 Toshiba) recognizes it just fine. 
    All other USB devices function perfectly on this computer. USB mouse/keyboard/USB Hub/Apple iPhone cable.
    1. I have tried unplugging all other USB devices before trying this one. FAIL
    2. I have gone to Device Management and the USB drive does not appear in the list. FAIL
    3. I have uninstalled the USB Root Hubs and restarted the computer. FAIL
    4. I have tried plugging the USB drive into the rear ports that plug directly into the motherboard. FAIL
    5. I have updated the drivers, and have been unable to find a BIOS update as the link on the HP website downloads and says that it is incompatible for my computer. FAIL
    ...so what the bloody gorram heck do I do now? 
    This question was solved.

    Okay, and in the most ridiculous way I have ever solved a technical problem...
    The USB flash cannot be inserted ALL the way into the port. It has to be inserted slowly, so that the contacts line up. 
    I figured this out by trying to connect it into my USB hub and noticing that the red indicator light was going on and off as I inserted the USB drive, flickering on as I inserted it and then off once it was all the way in. 
    Weird. But hey. It works now. 

  • Crucial Gizmo flash drive not recognized in osx, works in xp

    Hi,
    I have brand new Crucial Gizmo 2GB flash drive that has worked with multiple windows computers, but does not show on my OSX desktop or near the harddrives in finder. It does show in the System Profiler under USB.
    I am using a brand new unibody macbook.
    any suggestions?

    maybe power restrictions. Try a powered USB hub and connect that Crucial to it.

  • DVD/CD RW drive not recognized by Windows 7

    Since buying this laptop (HP Pavillion DV7T) I have had trouble with the DVD/CDRW drive not being recognized after a shutdown.  This is an intermittant problem with no traceable cause.  To fix this issue I have tried the following:  Assigned the DVD/CDRW with the letter Y in case there was a drive conflict causing it; used the troubleshooter offered by Windows 7; uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers; checked for updated firmware.
    If I run a scan for hardware changes, the drive shows up again, but only until the problem reoccurs.  I am seeing this problem about 4 times a week.  This issue will occur on about every other hard reboot, again, no real pattern that I can identify.
    I have made a change to the system.  I had to disable all hybernate options due to the "power state failure" bsod that I was seeing.  I don't believe this change would cause any issues with the optical drive.

  • USB flash drive not recognized by Macbook Leopard 15.1

    Hi
    Until last week my macbook was able to recognize my USB flash drives and my IPOD in Itunes and also as an independant drive.
    Last week it started to give trouble. It simply does not recognizes any USB flash drives I plug in as well as my IPOD music into Itunes.
    This is very strange since it is recognizing the HP all in one. It scans and prints. I purchased this HP all in one last week and installed the software for it. I am not sure how this could have affected that I cannot mount any USB drives.
    Can you please help? Anyone?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple discussions
    Can you see the devices if you use Utilities/Disk Utility? Maybe you need to reformat them. Take care, reformatting will lose the data on the device.

  • Flash Drive Not Recognized

    I have an 8GB flash drive that worked until last night. I was uploading a 3.6 GB file and it crashed. I tried using Disk Utility to reformat the drive, but then that crashed too, along with Finder. I had to hold the power button to shut down my computer.
    Now my flash drive isn't recognized by my Mac and does not come up with Disk Utility. I tried using it on a PC and the PC realized it was inserted but it was not recognized.
    HELP!

    It's not the power in the ports because other USB devices still work without a problem.
    Missed the part where you told us that. 8^)
    Then format it on the PC and bring it back to the Mac.

  • DVD Drive Not recognized in Windows 7

    Hi all,
    I have successfully installed Windows 7 on my Lenovo 3000 N200 0687-A11. I have a problem, my DVD drive is not detected at all (not shown in Device Manager) but I can still open it, and it is definitely detected in the BIOS, and also it can boot from the CD - the problem is that it is not detected in Windows 7.
    I am thinking that an application is causing this problem
     - Nero
     - iTunes
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks,

    Hi all + bladewing,
    My DVD drive is now detected and working!!! What I had to do was;
    1. I created a new partition (on the same hard drive) and temporarily installed Vista on the Partition (Making it a Dual Boot PC).
    2. After Windows Vista was installed, I went into the Device manager, to find that the DVD Drive was successfully installed.
    3. In windows explorer, I went to the directory D:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers and copied the file cdrom.sys and moved it to the partition in which Windows 7 was installed (C:\) . (Note: In this case D: was the partition in which Windows Vista was installed, and C: was the drive in which Windows 7 was installed.)
    4. I booted into Windows 7, and the driver was successfully installed.
    Done.
    If anyone else is experiencing this same problem, and needs help with resolving it, please do not be afraid to PM me or post on this same Message. Also, I have the cdrom.sys file (from Vista – mentioned in this post) available if you wish me to send it to you or upload it.
    Once again, thank you for all your help with this issue.

  • Usb flash drive not recognized

  • LaCie flash drive not recognized as a drive, but shows up in system profiler. Please help!!

    I recently got a LaCie RuggedKey 16 gb flash drive. The problem is that recently I plugged in the drive and I can't access the files, however, it shows up in system profiler. There are still files on the drive, and I really need them. Can you please help me recover them?

    If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
    If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
    Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
    Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
    Boot into Recovery and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
    Start up in Safe Mode and test.
    Reset the NVRAM.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive has failed.

  • Iomega External Hard Drive not recognized on windows 8.1

    I wanted to share this with others that may have or do run into the same problem. I used the iomega external drive 1TB on an XP computer for a couple years, then when that computer went bad, hooked it up to a windows 8. This worked perfectly fine, but last week I did the upgrade to windows 8.1 and the drive was no longer able to be read. It showed in disk management as unallocated.
    I found a suggestion on using File Scavenger software to recover the data. I did have to pay for that software, but it not only found and recovered all my files, but also found missing daily backups that I thought were failing. Those must have been unreadable because my xp hard drive was starting to go bad.
    After recovering and saving all my files to the computer (which did take a long time - 13 hours) I was then able to reformat the external drive, copy my files back to it, and continue to use it as always.
    Hope this helps someone else who may be devasted on losing important or precious files.

    The hard drive will not show up on the sidebar or desktop unless Finder preferences are set to do that:
    In Finder's General preference section, make sure "External disks" is checked in the list of things to show on the desktop if you want to see them there.
    Likewise, in Finder's Sidebar preference section, make sure "External disks" is checked in the "DEVICES" section to see them automatically appear on the sidebar.
    But you don't need to do either for the MBP to recognize the drive, or to get files from its Time Machine backup set. To do that, you should use the Time Machine "Star Wars" interface. Pondini's FAQ's (already mentioned) tell you how to do that. Tip 17 is particularly relevant.
