HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j009wm Doesnt read USB Flash Drive After Downgrade to Windows 7

I Have Downgraded Installed Windows 7 Through Flash Drive But i need help. Windows 7 Doesnt read my Flash Drive anymore? It can read my USB Keyboard but doesnt read USB Flash Drive. I Have no Internet On The Computer, So that means i cant update my drivers. And i have some drivers in my flash drive i want to install, but i cant. I have read this: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/HP-ENVY-TouchSmart-15-j040us/td-p/4576592 It doesnt do me any good anymore because i cant acces my drivers from USB

Hi: Looking at your other posts it appears you have painted yourself into a corner. Since there is no legacy or auto USB setting in the BIOS, your only option would be to remove the hard drive, put it in a USB to sata notebook hard drive enclosure, plug it into another PC so it can be read, download the applicable drivers you need and copy them to you user profile on the removed hard drive. The service manual, chapter 5 provides the removal and replacement procedures for the hard drive. http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03733656 Reinstall the hard drive, run the drivers, and you should be good to go. These would be the drivers you need for your model... SM bus controller: Install this first and reboot. http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=cp_127691_1 USB3: Install both of these and reboot. http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=6943835&swItemId=ob_139250_1&swEnvOid=4058 http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=6943835&swItemId=ob_133037_1&swEnvOid=4058

Can't print & can't see USB flash drives plugged in from Windows partition

My uncle has installed Windows XP professional through Bootcamp on his new MacBook w/ Snow Leopard. He gets to it through Parallels. Everything works perfectly, except he can't print to the same printer that the Mac prints to, and also, when in Windows, the os won't recognize USB flash drives that are plugged into the MacBook either. He has the latest Windows printer drivers installed for the printer he is trying to print to and still won't work. He needs both of these up and running immediately. I convinced him to get a Mac. Apple fam...HELP!!!
Thanks.

Hi,
since Parallels is not an Apple product it would be ebtter to ask such questions in the Parallels support forum.

HP Pavilion G6-2244NR network, usb, wireless problems after downgrade to Windows 7

HP Pavilion G6-2244NR with networking issues. Okay, so I have a G6-2244NR that I had to downgrade to Windows 7 Pro 64 (SP1), due to problems with software compatibility. Install was originally done on UEFI GPT, wiped 8 and started from scratch with Legacy support MBR. Install went perfectly fine. However, I boot into 7 and I get the Network icon showing a red X. I then go into manager and note that there are no networking devices listed. Instead I have 8 devices listed under "Other Devices" with yellow exclamations by each of them. This includes the Bluetooth Controller, the Ethernet Controller, the Network Controller, a PCI device, the SM Bus Controller, two USB controllers, and an "Unknown Device". Bluetooth ID is ven_1814&dev 3298, Ethernet ID PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136, and so on. I have downloaded drivers out the wazoo. I think I updated the chipset but not sure if right chipset updates (Catalyst 12.6). Still no luck. Every time I try and install what I think are correct drivers I get a "Device not working" error on the LAN card. Can anyone help??
This question was solved.

How to reformat usb flash drive after formatting it in mac

I know this might sound stupid but I used a 16gb kingstonflash drive for a backup for my macbookpro since there are only few to back up and I was thinking I can copy the backup files to an external disk after. With that said, I used the time machine and it said that it would erase everything on the USB. I clicked okand then once the flash drive was "made compatible", it started to backupbut the total file is 34gb so I can't use the flash drive as back up.
I tried reformatting the flash drive, but the total free space is 198mb and even if I removed the partition or erase ( I see a hitachiand kingstonpartition when I looked at the disk utility) it never goes back to the 16gb. I checked it with windows and the USB space is also 198mb out of 198mb (free space) I don't know where the 15.9gbwent.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Them do it on a Mac with Disk Utility.
On Windows you might have to first delete all the partitions before you can select Convert to MBR.
But try it on OS X.
Open Disk Utility with the drive connected and select the Top name of that drive in the left most area of the window.
Then in the Partition Layout drop down select 1 Partition. Then the Options... button will become active, select that button.
Select Master Boot Record and click OK. The format should already be MS-DOS (FAT) but if it isn't select that. You can give it a name or not. Then Click the APPLY button.

USB Flash Drive issues, FAT and Windows, Help!

Here's the deal:
I have a flash drive, I formatted it in FAT because it needs to be used on my Mac (Snow Leopard) and Windows. When I format it, it adds 2 or 3 other partitions like 200MB. BUT does not show it in Disk Manager or in Finder. I can read and write to the drive on my Mac, and it works (Mac thinks it's FAT). When I go to Windows it says it needs to be formatted. So after a leg-breaking experience in XP to reformat it as FAT, I can't just drag and drop folders into it. If I drag a folder to it it gives me an error code -36. HOWEVER, I can make a new folder on the drive (CommandShiftN) and drag files into the new folder. What the heck? Never had these issues in Leopard. What is the issue? Is this just Snow Leopard or is something screwed and I need to reinstall? Help. Thanks in advance.

1) Open Disk Utility.
2) Click your flash drive.
3) Click "Partition" tab.
4) Change "Volume Scheme" drop down box to 1 partition.
5) Change format to FAT.
6) Click "Options" button.
7) Change partition table from GUID to Master Boot Record.
8) Click Apply.
All done.

PhotoSmart C4580 cannot use USB flash drive

I just installed a PhotoSmart C4580 on a Dell Optiplex 360 running Windows XP Professional, SP3. If the printer is turned on, whenever I plug in a USB flash drive, I get a Windows error message to the effect that Windows does not recognized the device and it is unuable. If I turn off the printer, all works well. Any ideas?

Charlie, did you ever figure this one out. I also cannot use the flash drive if my HP printer is on.

How to detect USB Flash Drive name in LabVIEW

Hi there
I was looking for how to detect a USB Flash Drive name in Labview
appearently every time i insert USB Flash Drive in a computer, windows assign it a different name
once "J:" and sometimes "M:"
Is there anyway to obtain USB Flash Drive name programmatically in Labview ?
Because in my program an user shouldn't be able to access HDD Drives except his USB Flash Drive (for inserting some file ...)
thank you and excuse me for my poor english

I was able to get the demo.vi to load, but it could not load the other two because there is no block diagram associated with those. I'm not sure why this is. I haven't had any issues with other llbs before.

USB Flash Drive: Read-only filesystem

Hi
I'm trying to format a usb flash drive using various tools but they all say that it's a read-only file system. The drive is not mounted and I'm running as root. If I try to mount the drive like so with the command
sudo mount -o rw,users /dev/sdc1 /media/myflashdrive
I don't get any errors and when I go to /media/myflashdrive I can see and edit all the files (only as root however). However, any changes are not persistent. For example, if I delete any files or run
sudo rm -rf /media/myflashdrive/*
it seems to work and ls doesn't show anything, but then if a reopen the drive, the files are back.
I've tried this on other computers and even in Windows but nothing can put a scratch on it. I heard something about there being a certain bit in the first sector which can be flipped to make a drive read-only but I think it only applied to Windows.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, but if I can't format the drive I'll probably use some thermite to toast the data on it.

Hmm. I wasn't very clear: my drive was usable originally but it stopped working while I was using Windows (I just plugged it in one day and it was read-only) and now that I use Linux I thought I'd try to fix it (I have been told that linux can do anything but I'm not so sure). I suppose it could just be a physical error on the drive but it's not got any marks or anything.
Just a thought here, if it was a physical problem, would it be possible to 'reset' it with an electromagnet or by shorting it out or would this just frazzle the chip? Maybe not the right forums for that kind of question.

How do I convert DOS doc to read & run USB flash drive?

How do I convert DOS doc to read & run USB Flash Drive?

I'm not really sure what exactly you're trying to do. Possibly post on the Microsoft forums as DOS was their product?
Perhaps if you provide a bit more detail about what you have now and what you're trying to do with it (desired end result), I might be able to make another suggestion.

Satellite L675-11H - Can't access and/or read files on USB flash drive

Hi all,
I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L675-11H and was trying to transfer files from a USB flash drive on my Toshiba hard disk. The files have been previously transferred from my old laptop (HP - XP) to my USB flash drive.
My new laptop can't access the USB flash drive at none of the USB ports I connect the flash drive to. What might be the problem here? Thank you for your help or any helpful advice!

Hi Rush,
Can you post more detailes about this behavior? What happens if you connect the HDD to your notebook, do you see that Windows installs drivers for new USB device or do you get an error message? If you have connected the USB drive check the disk management of Windows if its recognized there (Control panel > system and security > Administrative tools).
Have you already tested other USB devices such as USB mouse? If they dont work too the problem could be related to USB ports. In this case you should remove all USB ports from device manager and restart your notebook. Also update the chipset driver could help.

How am I suppose to change permission on my Macbook ?
Thanks in advance,

Receiving fibre channel activity log email when unplugging usb flash drive

I found this to be very interesting.... I get the email from the log of the machine I am on.... this happens EVERY time I unplug my SanDisk CRUZER GATOR 8GB Flash Drive. I have a couple other non-sandisk drives and it doesnt seem to cause the same thing.
this really doesnt effect our xsan or anything, but its annoying and it worries me that it could screw something up potentially.....so I am just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?? or would know why this happens with just the sandisk...

How to delete recovery in volume D and transfer it to bootable USB flash drive.

I am trying to create a recovery for windows 7 pro on a USB flash drive. i tried looking for HP USB recovery utility on HP website but they say that i will require a USB 2.0 port whereas ELitebook only has 3.0 ports! Also cant find the utility anywhere for elitebook. The builtin Windows recovery manager only allows recovery creation on a Disc but ELitebook doesnt have a CD drive either and I prefer recovery creation on a flash. Also my laptop packaging states that my purchase comes with windows 8 pro license and media. however i didnt receive any DVD media for that matter. Could Windows 8 setup files be residing within the recovery volume D ?\ any help in this matter will be appreciated.. regards, Sami Bangash

USB 3.0 ports are USB 2.x (and 1.x) backward compatible. Each USB version has different power specs, so while a USB 2.0 device will work fine in a USB 3.0 port, the opposite is not true. The Windows "media" is typically a compressed file stored in a Recovery partition on the hard drive. HP Backup Manager can be used to create a DVD (or set of CDs, whichever it uses) from the compressed file -- and that media can then be used to restore the PC.
