Hello bhad9,
You can use your pen drive on your XP machine and your tablet, but not the Windows 7 machine.
This could be caused by any of the following:
Your drive does not have a drive letter assigned to it in Disk Management
Your USB driver may be corrupted or not fully installed.
Can you see the Pen Drive in Disk Management when its plugged in?
If you see your drive showing but it does not have a drive letter assigned, do the following:
EXAMPLE using a Mushkin Pen Drive.
Open Computer Management by clicking the Start button, right clicking on Computer and then click Manage.
If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Click Disk Management. Look for a drive that does not have an assigned drive letter and is not labeled as System Reserved.
Note: The System Reserved drive is reserved by Windows.
Right-click the unlabeled drive and click Change drive letter and paths…
Click Add and then click OK to select the first available drive letter.
If the Change drive letter and paths… option is not available, make sure that the drive is Online.
If the drive is Offline, right-click the disk number and click Online.
IF this is not the case let me know. Then we will see if the driver needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled for the Pen Drive

Hi Virendrasingh,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Notebook and CD/DVD not working correctly. I would perform a hardware test. Where did the CD come from? Were you having issues with the CD ROM before? I would be happy to assist if needed as there are many models of HP Notebook, I would need the model number. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?

Hard-Drive not Detected load sata drivers

Hi everyone I have a G6-1189sa notebook, I had a faulty harddrive so replaced it with the exact same drive 750GB WD, Thing is I could not save anything from the original drive ? so no recovery partitions are anything I even lost all my family photos and software.
Ok so I done a straight swap over and went ahead installing my fresh Windows 7 x64 disk, then I got an error message saying no device detected please install driver etc etc.
I know I need to install the sata driver for the harddrive to be detected, so I extracted the HP sata control driver to a USB pen the tried to load the driver, with the load driver option on the install disk.
Error message saying driver is not signed !!!! So after some reading on google I learned I had to disable the naitive sata option in the bios settings for the harddrive to be detected.
Thing is there is not a option for this in my bios ? unless Im missing something like an advanced bios setting.
I even went to the Intel site and tried some of there drivers but I get the same error message driver not signed.
So my question is ? how can I disable the native sata option if Its possible , If not how can I load the HP sata driver if its not signed.
Its very anyoing someone even said I have to slip the drivers in and make a new home made W7 disk myself to get my pc working again what the hell, where would I start.
Maybe I should put the laptop in the post and send it back, Ive never had so much trouble before making simple memory and harddrive exchanges.
Any advice please people Im at my wits end, my laptop is only a few month old and its now a door stopper lol

Hi,
Boot into the bios and be sure that the hard drive is detected.
Sata drivers are included in Windows 7.
Return the bios to its default settings and use the HP Recovery Disks. If you don't have the Recovery Disks then order them from HP. Order HP recovery Disks.

Hp g6000 dvd drive not detected in my computer, tried registry fix and still not working.

Hi i have a hp g6093ea laptop and for a couple of weeks now i have had my dvd drive dissapear from my computer.
i have the tried the registry thing where you delete the upper and lower filters and then restart laptop.
it worked then couple days later it was gone again.
i have removed the dvd from laptop and clean the connection and put it back still the same.
i was told to remove any burning programs and reinstall so i did that and the drive came back then after reboot went again.
the dvd drive ejects and has power and attempts to read the disk but its just not detected in my computer.
i have even been into the bios and put cd drive as boot first.,
then put my bootable xp pro disk in and it wont boot from the bios.
so i thought i would try an external drive to boot from bios, and it doesnt boot from there either.
i have had the drive randomly pop up in my computer and then after a restart it would be gone again.
so i cant put a fresh install on my laptop and i dont know what else i can do.
any help
thanks

How old is your laptop?
Have you had any other problems, besides the dvd drive, in the past few months?

Hard Drive not detected

Hello all,
I am working on a friend's 15 inch iMac G5 and have run across what I'm hoping is not a major issue.
The iMac was not booting and displayed a gray screen, I zapped PRAM, tried to boot from CD, and tried Target disk mode. Once I was finally able to boot from the CD the installer will not detect the iMac's internal HD. I also booted from my PowerBook which could not detect the HD. The Apple System Profiler has the same HD blindness.
Is there any other explanation besides the HD being dead? This computer is only a year old, how could the HD die so fast?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
-Noah

My iMac G5 20" is about 1.5 years old and is giving the same problem as well. It just die on me last weekend. As most of you explained earilier, it's unable to detected SATA drive. I replaced it with new SATA drive, and it's still unable to detected it. The fan also crank at high speed as well.
Doing that should rule out SATA hard drive issue.
It this going to be issue regarding to Apple products?
I'm wondering if it's power supply issue. I know from past experience that with PC, that there's been
failure related to power supply not giving enough juice to certain component.
Sadly I don't have extra power supply with me to verify my theory.

Hard Drive Not detected after replacing DC In Board

So after more than a year of jiggling an easliy bent AC adapter in the port to get my ibook G4 to charge it just quit and would not charge. I suspected it was the slightly loose DC in port (having no idea what was behind the little hole) so I took it to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store where they confirmed it was likely the DC in board. I was told that just sending my little old ibook away to get fixed would cause an exorbitant $330 just to ship it out, never mind any parts, etc. It was suggested I just buy a new macbook and be done with it. But we've been through a lot and I didn't want to just toss her away so I found a DC In board and replaced it myself. Parts and directions courtesy of ifixit.com
So the part is working well enough that it detects the new AC Adapter (this one new and unbent), which is great. Now I have a slightly larger problem and that is the dreaded little finder/? flashing icon that comes up when I start the computer. It won't start in safe mode. I can't find the original disks (Panther OSX) that came with it. I popped in my Tiger Install Disk and that (Thankfully) came up so I was able to open Disk Utility and lo and behold no hard drive was detected. Just the optical drive and the Tiger DVD.
I was so careful! Did I poke the Hard Drive or something? Is she mad at me for opening her? If anyone has any advice on how I can repair this myself please let me know. I'm desparate to have my baby back.

It's possible that something was disrupted during the repair. You might go back to the ifixit site and look at the instructions for replacing the hard drive. You want to try and see if somehow you disconnected it or something like that. There's a good chance that it is something simple that you can fix. Looking at the pictures might trigger a memory of maybe something taken loose and not reconnected. And try to find your original discs--you will need them.
Good luck!

USB hard drive not detected on reboot

I am running Windows 7 Ulitmate 64-bit on my 2011 15" Macbook Pro. I have a USB Hard Drive (WD My Passport SE - USB 3.0/2.0 - 1 TB).
The hard drive is formatted for HFS+ and I am running Mac Drive 8 to detect it in Windows.
For some reason when I reboot (in Windows), the hard drive won't be there until I unplug it and plug it back in.
This is really annoying! Can anybody help me? I'm pretty good with things like this but I can't think of any reason this shouldn't be working right.

I am having the exact same problem. WD 1TB Passport. USB 3.0 drive. Running on Windows 7 Pro 64 via Bootcamp.
My 1TB Passport is formatted with FAT32 and works with Windows and Mac OS.
I was getting the same problem when I was running Windows XP Pro on the same MacBook Pro. I was hoping the upgrade to Windows 7 would remidy the issue but it did not.
The drive light is on in a steady state when I boot and I have the same symptoms as reported by everyone else above.
In my research, I am leaning towards thinking that it is a power issue related to the cable used to connect the USB 3.0 Drive or something to do with the USB driver for Bootcamp, but researching the WD site suggests it's a power issue, not a faulty or failing drive.
I have a 500GB WD Passport USB 2.0 also attached to my computer, also running FAT32 and it starts up no problem. It's just the USB 3.0 drive that is having this issue.
Also worth noting; the drive is detected properly when I boot in Mac OS X. It's only the Windows side I have to unplug and plug back in to access the drive.

Bitlocker - Drive not detected, asks to format.

Greetings.
Situation:
Laptop with encyrpted drive (bitlocker) fails (unable to boot). Data recovery is required. Hard Drive is removed and connected to a system running Windows 7 Enterprise. Instead of drive being detected as encrypted, a Window requesting to format the drive
is displayed. Both computers are on the same domain.
Question:
Why are we not being prompted to enter the bitlocker recovery key? Could Group Policy be an issue? Do we need to setup recovery agents?
We have tried this with a number of working encrypted drives with the same results.

No, there is no tool to decrypt the drive. You need to put the password or use the recovery key that;s created during encryption.

Pen drive not recognised by Mac

Hi,
Recently I have bought a 8GB Transcend Jet V30 Pen drive which was pre-formatted in FAT32 file system. The pen drive is working fine with PC(winXP) but not at all recognsied by MAC though the pen drive is getting power from USB port. We have 5 Mac Pro at office, I tried with each of them but no luck though there is no problem in working with PC.
I've re-formatted the drive several times in FAT32 format with the help of different formatting tool but no joy.I've checked 'Disk Utility' in MAC but no mention of the pen drive there. There is no icon getting generated on the desktop.
I have a couple of 2GB pen drives of same make which work fine with mac and PC both.Please help me, pen drive appearing to be pain drive for me.
Thanking all,
emrck

I've re-formatted the drive several times in FAT32 format with the help of different formatting tool
Since the Mac is not seeing the drive, I assume you did the formatting on a PC - correct? You might try this. Erase the drive on the PC & then plug into the Mac. Will Disk Utility see it? If so, format FAT32 with Disk Utility.
Here's a couple of formatting instructions.

DVD drive not detected (K9N2GM-FD)

For some reason my motherboard( K9N2GM-FD) is not detecting my DVD drive.
Here is the setup I'm using:

a lite on DVD drive(model DH-20A4P33C) I bought at walmart
Antec NeoPower 550 550W ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply
The DVD drive is an IDE drive and it's getting power(I can open and close it).
I tried changing some things in the bios, trying a different drive, and trying a different IDE cable still can't get it to work.
every thing passes post test.
And the bios is version 1.2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You did use proper standoff's to mount the board in the case?
yes
BTW, the controller is turned on I presume.
yes
If all is mounted correctly and there isn't any short, then I would RMA the board.
Ok I'll RMA it
Thanks for the help

Seagate Hard Drives not detected by the Windows 7 installer

I've spent hours on this trying every conceivable reason, so I apologize in advance for the length on this post.
I connected a Seagate 320GB 7200.10 hard drive to a P35 chipset system and attempted to install Windows 7 RTM onto it. The installer got to the part of detecting hard drives, but could not detect this drive. Native SATA mode was enabled, and AHCI was enabled.
I disabled Native SATA mode, then after that failed I also tried disabling AHCI by setting the controller to IDE mode. Still, the Windows 7 installer refused to detect the drive.
I replaced both the SATA & power cables, verified the drives are detected by the AHCI firmware and the BIOS, and I even tried different motherboard SATA ports to no effect. I took a second , identical Seagate 320GB SATA hard drive, this time pre-formatted it inside Windows 7 RC using NTFS defaults, and again (with and without AHCI and Native SATA mode) Windows 7 will not see this hard drive either!
I even downloaded the AHCI preinstall drivers and loaded these using a flash drive. When I did Windows 7 would autodetect the ICH9 driver and I would click Next. Windows 7 would suddenly see the drive, but all options to format or create a partition are grayed out. Clicking the more info button gives me this error message:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."
I used the AHCI preinstall drivers specific for the motherboard (Vista 64) and I also tried the AHCI preinstall drivers from Intel for Windows 7 RC 64. As of this writing Intel has not released official Windows 7 RTM Intel Matrix Storage Manager drivers.
In frustration I installed a SSD (with AHCI and Native SATA mode enabled) and suddenly Windows 7 detects the SSD without needing to load any driver (as would be expected, since Vista and 7 include Intel Storage Manager drivers by default already). I installed Windows 7 RTM 64bit onto the SSD without issue.
15 minutes later I was at the Windows 7 desktop, and Windows 7 was showing the Seagate 320GB hard drive under "My Computer" as normal. I could even use the Seagate hard drive as normal as if nothing was wrong. For kicks I launched the Windows 7 installer inside Windows 7, but as you can see below it still refused to see the drive, despite the drive being shown under My Computer:
(Since I can't use thumbnails, here's the direct link: http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n129/Chanur64/Box/Howpossible.jpg )
Also I should note I previously had Windows 7 Beta installed on an IDE drive in this exact system, and had no problems with it. Windows 7 RTM would allow me to install to an IDE drive and allowed me to install to an SSD, but it cannot see and cannot install onto both Seagate 320GB hard drives. These Seagates are known good drives previously part of a RAID 5 array.
If anyone knows what is going on or has some ideas I've not tried I would love to hear from you and get this figured out. Suffice to say this is not a promising start for Windows 7.
Intel Q6600
Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS4 (ICH9R southbridge)
4GB DDR2-800
2x Seagate 320GB SATA 7200.10
Intel X25-M 80GB
8800GTS 320mb
PC Power & Cooling 750w PSU

I just had to solve the same issue with a Seagate Momentus Thin hard drive (
http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/laptops/slim-laptop-hard-drives/)
Tried several BIOS configuration, AHCI drivers, etc and Windows 7 32bits couldn't detect the drive.
My solution was to boot with a USB pendrive with HirenCD tools (http://www.hiren.info/) and use a partition manager to erase disk contents, create and format a partition.
Windows 7 detected the hard drive for the first time and now is installing, so.. crossing fingers.
Thanks,
Diego
Diego,
Thanks for the information and the link to Hiren.info! I'm creating my bootable flash drive now. I'll report back if I get this to work.
I had this same issue on a Seagate Momentus 7200.2 "laptop" hard drive. I say "lap top" in quotes because it's actually in a desktop (HP Compaq Ultra-slim dc7800). I believe it was an upgrade, so it took me a while to figure out what I was dealing
with until I finally took out the harddrive and checked what company made it!
Thanks everyone!

External drive not detected

Hi,
Just transferred from a macbook 2008 to a brand new mac mini 2014.

what can I do ?

TM - External Disk Drive Not Detected in Recovery Mode

Hello Apple Lovers,
I am using the My Passport for Mac 500GB disk drive with time machine on my MacBook Air to create data backups.
I checked the disk for any corruption using Disk Utility. No issues were found. I find the disk works excellantly in terms of creating backups and restoring them inside time machine.
I cannot detect my external disk for restoring entire images of the OSx in recovery mode. For some reason, TM will not detect my backup disk in the recovery mode. I use the WD Security software on my disk to lock it, however, never before has the security lock posed any problem to me. I used to see a prompt appear for me to unlock the drive in recovery mode on attempting to access the TM backups.
Please take your time in replying to my post. I recovered my entire system last week and restored all the data using TM's twlight view. No rush! I successfully created a backup of my fresh OSx Mavericks on the MacBook Air with all the data restored using TM. I only wanted to troubleshoot this issue in case something occurs in the future that may require me to restore data using TM in recovery mode.
I browsed extensively through many of the discussions covering Time Machine. None mentioned my particular dilemma. Any assistance would be a valuable controbution not only to me, but other Apple users who may purchase My Passport for Mac drives and encounter a similiar problem.

You will need to avoid using third party software if you hope to access the disk and data in recovery mode.
If the WD software encrypts your data recovery mode will need a way to decrypt it. Recovery mode is a 'reduced mode' that only runs Apple software (not third party software) so the WD drivers that decrypt the disk will not be installed & Disk Utility or Migration Assistant will not be able to open the data on the disk.
There have been long threads that make me steer clear of using ANY Western Digital drive software with 10.9.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5475136?start=0&tstart=0
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6202 <- WD had to remove software from Macs because it ruined peoples data on 10.9.
There are other threads on WD disk tools causing errors on 10.9, external hard disks do not require the use of additional software on OS X - these apps & drivers are mostly junk that is not a good idea to install.
If you really want to protect your data with encryption the features are already built in to OS X, it's called Filevault. It will encrypt your internal HD & your Time Machine backups (when the OS is encrypted). It works with Apple tools & doesn't rely on any third party drivers.
You will need to disable the 'WD security lock' and make sure the disk works without the WD software if you hope to have any chance of reading it in recovery mode.
