My HP Pavillion w/Windows XP will not recognize my new External HDD

HP Pavillion w/Windows XP Media Center m7267c Desktop PC
Is it necessary to pay a outside Driver manager to restor the ability of my PC to instal Driver Software for devices that the specific Mfg states should already have present on my OS?
I purchased a Western Digital 2TB External Drive ( WDBAAUOO20HBK-01 ) to free up my packed Internal HDD. I made sure it was a "USB 2.0" device. But the PC will not recognize the external HDD device.
Please help if you can

BTW...the Drivers that are supposed to work are :
c:\\windows\system.32\DRIVERS\disk.sys
c:\\windows\system.32\drivers\partmgr.sys
....at least those are the Windows drivers that are loaded off my newer Dell PC when the Ext. HDD is plugged into it.

Windows 7 will not recognize the ipod.

I have an ipod 4th touch 64 gig. Windows 7 will not recognize the ipod. It will make the noise of a connection and will only charge. It will not show in my computer as a hard drive. It will show in Itunes and other third party programs. I have searched the net and tried most of the advice to try and fix but will still not show as a hard drive.
Has anyone had this problem and if so is there a fix?
thanks

I did read along the way about some of the ipods not being recognized as a HD. I just installed Iexplorer and looks like it will do the job. As long as I have something other than Itunes to see it as a HD. I use Syncios and Copy Trans and both work great as to transfer music. But to see the ipod as a HD iexplorer will do the Job.
Again my ipod 4th gen will show in my computer but only the DCIM folder and a few other with pictures, no music folder or the control folder from the ipod.
My ipad works great and another ipod the long thin ones work but not this ipod touch 4 gen 64 gig.
Any other suggestions or help much appreciated
thanks for the iexplorer it should help

okay from reading posts it seems if I transfer my backed up info from my old comp to the new one and erase my dad's phone's back up i could reset my phone and it would transfer all my old data back onto the phone, be linked to the new computer and i could proceed. Where do i find the backed up info from my phone?

I just changed my apple ID because I needed to change my e mail account. My new ID updated on all of my devices except for iCloud on my phone. My phone however will not recognize my new Apple ID for iCloud? Any suggestions?

To change the iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the new ID. If you only changed your ID and didn't create an entirely new ID, you can choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted. Your data will download back to your phone when you sign back in.
Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll before deleting the account. Deleting the account deletes the photo stream photos from your phone.

Windows 8 will not activate with new SSD (second) hard drive

I added a new SSD drive in the second hard drive bay. I used the HP restoration media to install Windows 8 on the new SSD drive. Windows 8 will not activate. After spending 90 minutes on the phone with HP support (and paying $150), they told me to contact Microsoft. After spending some time with Microsoft, they told me that the Windows product key is being locked by HP, and there is nothing they can do.

Hi badgerbuzz,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

There is a 3 inch section of the window that will not recognize the mouse. It will not let you click on the icons or screen in any way in this section under the address bar. It is only in firefox where this is a problem

There is a 3 inch section of the window that will not respond or recognize the mouse. It will not let you click on the icons or screen in any way. This is the only program we are experiencing this problem with.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive in my dv9925nr

Windows will not recognize my dvd drive in Windows 7. It shows up under device manager under cd drives, but will not list in in my computer and will not recognize it as a drive in burning applications.

I haven't installed and started testing the BETA yet, just downloading from MS tonight.I would suspect upper & lower filters,since that is the most common cause of cd/dvd problems from XP-Vista.

My computer (windows 7) will not recognize my iPhone 4s

My iPhone 4s has recently started acting up on my windows 7 computer. It will now not sync to iTunes nor will it even connect/charge on my computer. This was working last night. I've already removed iTunes, reinstalled it. I've made sure mobile me has been restarted. I have made sure only one computer is authorized to use this iPhone. The USB WILL NOT RECOGNIZE error message comes up every single time i plug the iPhone in. I've run scans on all my usb ports and they are all functioning properly.
What am i missing here?

I would start with:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Also
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

Windows software will not recognize my password

WIndows application does not recognize my password when trying to set up the software. I have gone as far as resetting it 3 times and when I get the the spot to put my username and PW in the sign in...it keeps saying my UN or PW is wrong and suggests I re-set. I can log in online, but I cant get it to work from my computer...which also means I cant make calls.
