Toshiba PX1267E-1G32 - USB issue on all PCs

Hi, sorry for my bad English.
I have a problem with PX1267E-1G32 (toshiba HDD USB).
When I connect Toshiba HDD to my USB port a message pops up,
"this device can perform faster if you connect it to usb 2.0
port.............click here
Also with another's pc.
I have WXP service pack 3 and WXP service Pack 2 another pc.
Is possible a alimentation problem?
Thanks!
Marco

Hi
>this device can perform faster if you connect it to usb 2.0 port
This message appears if you have connected an external USB device to a computer which would not support the USB 2.0 standards.
I mean the Toshiba HDD PX1267E-1G32 would be able to work faster if it would be connected to a USB 2.0 port.
If you want you can disable this message:
Open Device Manager. Expand the Universal Serial Bus Controllers section at the bottom of the device manager window. Locate and then double-click a host controller. In the properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab, and then select the Don't tell me about USB errors check box.

Toshiba PX1267E-1G32 External HD Problem

Hi all.
I've had a Toshiba PX1267E-1G32 External HD for awhile now and its fantastic. I normally run it on Windows XP, and recently, I've started using Windows 7.
When I plug the External HD in, the password box pops up, I enter the password, It states the password was successfully entered, and I click ok.
The HD is supposed to rev up and load the data partition as a seperate drive so that I can naturally access the data stored on the HD, but this isn't the case on Windows 7. Nothing happens after I correctly validate my password.
I also tried removing my password restriction, but all that loads is the password partition of the External HD. I am Running in Administrator mode, but to no avail.
Can someone please tell me how to load up my 'data' partition of the the Toshiba PX1267E-1G32 External HD.
Thanks so much in advance,
VoxT3R,

Hi VixT3R
I have exactly the same problem with yours. I have two laptops, one with XP and one with newly-installed Win7.
We seem to share the same fate. I tried to access my Toshiba external HD in Win7 but the secure partition cound't be accessed. Only password partition showed. When I tried to accessed it from my XP laptop, it failed again. I was able to disable the password protection. (Actually I never changed the password from the default one. Now I regret that I should have disabled it before I tried to use the drive with Win7.) Now, whenever I plugin the drive, there's no dialogue box popping up requesting password anymore. Anyway, I can see an unallocated partition in the windows disk management.
Please let me know how did you manage to recover the data in the secure partition. I have another external HD with space available enough for data stuck in the toshiba drive.
For your information you can turn your toshiba drive into a simple external drive without password protection by using "CD to HDD Convertor" downloaded from TechSupportLive ([http://www.techsupportlive.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=view&parentcategoryid=9& pcid=8&nav=0,8|http://www.techsupportlive.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=view&parentcategoryid=9& pcid=8&nav=0,8] ). That being done, I think you can use the toshiba drive on Win7 as well.
I'm really glade to know that I'm not the only one in this situation. I'm looking forward to receiving valuable answer from you.
Best,
Thanawit

Toshiba PX1267E-1G32 Ext HD Error Message says USB device has malfunctioned

Hi
I have Windows XP and have been using my Toshiba External HD for a few years.
I am a novice.
Suddenly yesterday the below message appeared and I cannot get any computer to recognise the device.
"+USB Device Not Recognized+
+One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognise it. For assisstance in solving this problem click this message+."
I've tried to reinstall the drivers from the internet & the HDD CD but the same message occurs.
I've installed it onto another computer and the same error message.
The device still makes a noise and the blue light is on but no other action.
Is there anything I can easily do?
Many thanks in anticipation

> I thought that sort of stuff wasn't meant to happen to external drives....
Why not? The external HDD is the same like an internal notebook HDD which dies as well
> Any other suggestions welcome
I assume this is a 3.5 HDD
You could remove this HDD from the HDD case and could connect this HDD directly to an desktop PC using an IDE or SATA cable (Im not sure if this is an SATA or IDE HDD).
If the BIOS would recognize the HDD then you would have good chances to get access to the data stored on this HDD.

Problem with a Toshiba PX1267E 320 external drive

Hello all
I have a problem with a Toshiba px1267e 320 external drive, when all was ok with it I would switch on and the blue led would come on and change blue /violet as it was found on my laptop, a small vibration could be felt if I handled the case indicating that the d/d motor was on.
On that fateful morning I switched on did an explore in my computer and found no ext drive, checked the drive blue led on touched the case could detect no vibration, unclipped the drive from the case put my ear to it heard faint clicking.
I removed device and connected to caddie, this time I could feel the motor going, connected to laptop, new hardware found did my computer explore and found no drive, checked device manager and found it so I uninstalled and reconnected usb with same result.
I am not sure what do next.
I had a word with computer shop if they could recover a while I wait they said at least a 6 hour job if possible (dont want to leave at shop)
Bought me another western digital same model no and also new power supply to try swapping the electronics board just in case therein lies the fault /or possible us power/s but I am clutching at straws here.
Any of you guys here got anything like this happen ? any suggestions?
I am curious to know what they would try in the shop to recover although he said he couldn't guarantee results.
I would welcome any helpful suggestions (not throw it in the bin)

>uninstalled and reconnected usb with same result.

I think the external HDD is dead
Maybe its a head crash this would explain the faint clicking and other noises
Unfortunately, I such case you can do nothing

Lumia 1020 not detected via USB on Windows 7 PCs

Hello - I hope you can help.
My new Lumia 1020 is not detected on any of 3 Windows 7 PCs I have access to. When plugged in the phone will begin to charge but the PC does not detect the phone at all - it doesn't appear under device manager in any guise (no portable devices or unrecognised devices).
OS 8.0.10517.150
Windows 7 64 and 32 bit
I have follwed advice on similar threads and been through the nokiatechsupport.co.uk troubleshooter on the issue which took me through the following:
Install Windows Phone app for Desktop
I just get the 'connect your phone' screen despite restarts of both phone and PC. Also tried switching the phone off and then plugging in = same result.
Factory Rest
Same result - phone is not detected, nothing appears in device manager.
I've also tried installing the Nokia software recovery tool but that doesn't see the phone either.
Have tried different USB ports on all PCs.
Any help much appreciated, otherwise next step is talking to my network support I guess?
Thanks
Iain
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Use the USB cable that came with the phone. Have you always done this?
A device that is under lock screen may not be detected and drivers will not load.
The desktop phone sync program provides nothing that will help the phone be detected.
The phone has to be seen by the PC and identified. When this happens the drivers are downloaded from the internet for the phone. Having the drivers does no good if the phone is not identified by the PC.
If you have access to other Win7 or 8 PC's try connecting to them. If you take it to anybody that is the first thing they will do. This helps determine if it is the phone or the PC.
If you take somewhere use Nokia Care.
One thing I saw today, user having the same problem. On the phone, start an app that connects to the internet, like a news app. Then connect the phone to the PC.
There are phones that won't connect.
You should see it in windows explorer. It should install in 'portable devices' in the device manager.

Toshiba external HDD PX1267E-1G32 not recognized

I have two hard drives of the same kind (px1267E-1G32) and they were working prefectly, but suddently they both didn't work on my computer anymore. I tried it on other devices but it's not working at all: theres no sound of the engine anymore when I switch it on, but the light of the power supply turns on.
On the computer there is sometimes the sound that something has plugged in, but then I don't see it neither on the device manager (i think this it is in English- i don't know it for sure because I'm only Austrian ;) ) or on my computer -in german "arbeitsplatz"- and then after a short period of time the sound of Plugging-out chimes
I've looked it up in other Threads and on other webpages, but nothing has helped me.....
What shall i do?

hey Xardas
i don't see it there (i ment this with device manager...i haven't known the correct name for it :) )
but the cable worked yesterday (the last time) and i haven't moved it one nanometer ^^ and the engine normally works when you turn it on (even if it's not plugged in the computer...) but there's no sound (you normally hear that) and theres only sometimes a "Klick" and that's it....
and the problem is only with these two HDD of the same kind...the other ones i have are working on the computer...so i think thats a problem with the HDDs, but how to solve it?

How to remove CDFS partition on PX1267E-1G32?

Does anyone now how can I remove the CDFS partition on this disk (PX1267E-1G32)?
I want this disk using as an USB external harddrive without this CDFS partition.
I don't use the backup software REGEN.
Is this possible? I tried several programs to remove this partition, but now one did do the job.
Thanks

Hi
To be honest Ive no experience with such external HDDs but usually all partitions would be deleted from the HDD if you would format the HDD.
Try to format it!

Driver update for Win 7 USB issue on nVidia chipset systems now available

This patch is needed for the TouchSmart 600 AIO Desktop series if you haven't installed it.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Lockups-Freezes-Hangs/Driver-update-for-Win7-USB-issue-on-nVidia-chipse...

The update is not part of the desktop Win7 update disc from MS or HP - Microsoft has not yet integrated it into Win7, and it is not yet available on Windows Update (it is likely to hit there sometime in January). It was available too late to get it out on HP Update before the holiday break. I don't believe there have been any rolls to the Win7 upgrade disks. I do recommend (while still on Vista) running HP Update and installing all applicable updates - PRIOR to doing the Win7 upgrade. Also - I'd double check the drivers page for your system for any Vista updates as well, best to do any driver/BIOS/Video BIOS updates prior to the Win7 upgrade process. I know that some of them were created before Windows 7 was out - and may not want to install if it sees the newer OS.
As to the fix - this could manifest itself in many ways - but essentially - this resolves system flakyness with USB devices attached . Some internal devices (card readers, touchscreens, some Wireless LAN interfaces) connect via USB - so they could be affected, even if you haven't hooked up anything to your system externally.
Not sure just what problems you were experiencing, so can't say this was the cause (and will be the fix) - but if it applies to your system - I'd definitely give it a shot. I checked a couple of systems that had this update - I see it now on the software drivers and update page for them, so it looks like it rolled out OK.
Happy Holidays...

24" iMac USB issue

Recently my 4-yr-old 24" iMac has been having USB issues. The only peripherals it will see are the mouse and keyboard (and a printer if it is plugged into the keyboard). Nothing else plugged into the USB ports is recognized - no iPhone, no printer, no hub, nothing. The built-in iSight camera and Bluetooth have also disappeared, and I know they are USB related as well. Genius bar says $450 for new logicboard. I can't find my AHT disk
The USB ports all seem to work with the mouse and keyboard. Any other suggestions? (I have reset PMU.)

Try resetting the SMC, if it doesn't work the first time do it 2-3x. Also try doing a PRAM reset.
_SMC RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
• Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
• Release the power button.
• Attach the computers power cable.
• Press the power button to turn on the computer.
_PRAM RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
• Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
• Release the keys.

Macbook Pro USB issue

Hi All;
I saw lots of discussions about USB problem of Macbook Pro, and i tried maybe all suggestions, i couldnt solve USB issue
I bought my Macbook Pro 13 inc, 500 GB, i5, OS X Lion, 2 days ago and this is my first Mac ...
I cant see my external disk (Philips), Samsung Galaxy S by using USB ports (i tried both USB enterances, but not working).
I checked my Hardware by Apple Hardware Test (extended test done) and it says 'No trouble found'
I checked Utilities and USB devices are not written in the list, only 500 GB SATA disk shown.
I uploaded MacFuse-Tuxera and ntfs-3g-2010 softwares for using USB devices but i cant solve the problem too...
My USB devices are not shown in desktop and utilities lists
How can i solve this problem, my devices work in Windows 7 - PC as usual, but in Macbook Pro, they dont work, please support me. I dont think that it can be hardware problem, Mac is new and devices are ok. Operating systems are different only.
Thanks, Regards.

I solved the problem about Samsung Galaxy S, now i can connect it by changing settings of GALAXY S.
Settings>Applications>Development
Than i plug phone to MAC and now i can see my phone on desktop
I checked my PHILIPS external disk, unfortunatelly it is produced for only Windows operating systems, so i cant use it anymore
My MAC has no USB problem, i can use my 3G USB device too, only Philips external disk failed.
Thanks for your support...

Lion = lackluster, USB issues

I'm very disappointed in Lion. With the exception of a few new features, it's useless and I'm shocked that Apple would publish a product like this. I've wasted $30. I never thought I would say anything like that about an Apple product. Up until now, I've never had any issues with any of the OS's.
Ever since I installed Lion, I've had USB issues. I plug something in and it doesn't work. Specifically, my iPhone, my flash drive and my USB 2.0 card reader. This is all equipment that worked flawlessly prior to the installation.
I've tried all the remedies: restart, plug and unplug the devices, tested the hub, plug and unplug from the iMac itself. Any suggestions?

I haven't heard that reported as a bug in Lion.
Have you tried an SMC reset?
Reset PRAM first.

Z97 Gaming 7 usb issue

Hi, I got an MSI Z97 Gaming 7 MB brand new and when I plug in an external HDD It works perfectly but when I plug a usb flash drive loads its capacity right in MyComputer view and when I try to open it only shows a blank window and disappear the capacity in MyComputer view only shows its name and its data type ntfs. This happens with every flash drive that isn't usb 3.0. Can someone help me.
Thanks in advance
Omar

I tried many external HDDs(Western Digital 500Gb usb 3.0, Samsung 500Gb usb 2.0, Toshiba 250 Gb usb 2.0) also tried many flash drives (kingston 32 Gb usb 2.0, Samsung 8Gb usb 2.0, SanDisk 8Gb usb 2.0) I used all the usb ports (front panel and back panel) I installed all the drivers from the MB CD except for one that didn't install and show me and error message that said that the driver dindn't work for windows 7 (my OS).

P45 Platinum USB issues on XP 64 Pro

My mouse (Logitech MX518) works only when plugged into one of the USB ports on my motherbeoad. Any other port and it tries to detect new software - runs through the installation and I get a fatal error message - and the mouse does not work at all. I can't get the Logitech Setpoint software to install either - when installing the drivers I get an error message. I spent 2 1/2 hours on the phone with Logitech and they think it's a USB / Intel control issue. I had a SM Bus controller error in device manager and I used the "INF Update Utility - Primarily for Intel® 4, 3, 900 Series Chipsets (2455KB)" which solved the SM Bus controller issue. but I'm not sure that was the correct piece of software to use as the motherbeoad says its a P45 chipset. The USB issue has existed since I powered up the machine yesterday - the Intel software installation did not impact the problem either way. the MSI CD is useless as it doesn't seem to have any 64 bit drivers. I've downloaded all from MSI that I can find and got the audio and LAN working but I still get the occasional blue screen for really no reason, just surfing the web and bam - blue screen. am I missing something ciritcal for the installation? any thoughts are appreciated on the best way to set up this 64 bit system.

I'll look up the BIOS in a second
BIOS is A7512IMS V1.0 052108
I also made the change so it won't restart automatically if I get a blue screen. And BIOS has USB Enabled. (I'm catching up!)
Alright, now I'm trying to make a bootable CD to update my BIOS.
Update: Got the USB drive BIOS to function per the MSI Forum Flash Tool, but I get an error message - Error File ROM ID incorrect - and the BIOS doesn't update. Still listed as V1.0 and should be V1.7. My P45 isn't listed as supported for Sure Hands, so I haven't tried that. Don't know if that ROM error is the reason my BIOS isn't updating or not. I cleared the CMOS, etc. Not sure why it isn't working.
You have pickup the wrong BIOS file. Latest BIOS for your board is 1.5 ==> http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1479
1.7 doesn't exist.

X201 - Random standby, blank/bright screen and left side USB issue

I have a bunch of issues with my X201 that slowly developed over the past months. The motherboard had been replaced once due to USB/standby issues and worked fine for a few months, but now it seems to be returning again.
I'm not sure if this is again a motherboard issue or something else altogether. In rough sequence of when the faults started appearing.
Initial symptoms: the left side yellow USB ports will stop working after returning from standby/hibernation. Windows 7 gives a USB device error and basically everything connected to that same USB controller won't work. Sometimes it recovers by itself after a few more standby/wake cycles, sometimes if I disable/enable the USB controller in Device Manager but often nothing works except a shutdown and cold boot.
Then the screen started going extra bright or more accurate high gamma white-out when returning from standby. Everything becomes very whitish/bright but slowly will settle down to normal within 30 seconds or so.
I could live with all these niggling small issues, but recently my X201 started going crazy with random drops into STANDBY. I know there is a thread about random shutdown but that isn't the issue here.
Just out of the blue, connected to power with 100% battery, the X201 will go into standby. Sometimes it will wake almost immediately by itself, then go back into standby again. Other times, I have to hit the Fn button to wake it, but frequently it will just go right back to standby again. The number of times this happen before it stabilized again is random. Reboot may or may not fix it the issue. Like a hiccup, it starts without reason and stops without reason, but makes it extremely annoying and impossible to work when it does.
The worst part is that often when returning from standby, the screen may go blank, even the backlight is off. Sometimes this happen immediately on return, but sometimes it takes a few seconds before the screen dies. During the blank screen, the system is responsive. I could type my login password blind and see hard disk activity and hear the login music.
According to the Windows event log, this appears to be triggered by some phantom power button or Lid close event.
Would anybody have a conclusive idea of what might be the root cause of these problems?
I can't really have a downtime without my laptop for days sending it for repairs and hope to be able to isolate the part so that I can just call in on parts warranty and get it fixed in a few hours.

I had a similar problem with my X201 after hibernation due to no AC power and battery depletion.
I was loathe to replace the motherboard.
Then one day I tried this. Went into BIOS. Disabled, then enabled various ports under supervisor password control. (I heard don't use extended password which encrypts. use the simple 8 character one).
I had disabled the usb card reader all usb ports. I had taken off the hard drive password I had put on earlier.
Then after a power off cycle. I enabled the usb card reader and all the usb ports again.
Then like some miracle windows detected the SD card reader and re-installed the usb root hub drivers at the same time. For some reason it seems the SD card reader is tied to the usb root hub. Maybe it's already part of it already.
Then all the ports were working again. I was so relieved that I didn' have to call Lenovo to replace my MB. I didn't even have to update by flashing the BIOS.
It's all ok now. I like the X201 and the keyboard. From what i've seen of the X220 they've abandoned the traditional 90's style keyboard this time. I should have bought an extra X201 when Lenovo put it on special pricing bakc in 2011. Now they are completely gone from Lenovo and the prices on the major resellers of Lenovo are way too high for all the Lenovo notebooks too.

ITunes 9.0.2.25 Library Issue with Multiple PCs

I have been using iTunes for years with minimal issues on multiple PCs on the same network. My iTunes library and all of my music resides on a network-attached drive mapped as drive "Z" on two PCs.
- One PC is running XP Media Edition and is hard-wired to my Ethernet hub
- The other PC is running Vista and is connected wirelessly to the network
Once in a while, when my versions of iTunes got out of sync, I'd get a message saying that the library was created with a different version of iTunes. I'd simply update the PC that had the older version and everything was fine.
Now, with a recent update to version 9.0.2.25, only the hard-wired PC (the XP machine) will read the library. Both machines have 9.0.2.25 installed, but when I try to use the laptop it says that it appears as if the library is corrupt, renames the library "(Damaged)" and creates a new, empty library. I was able to re-import nearly all of my music, though some purchases are gone.
Has Apple now somehow eliminated the ability for multiple PCs to access the same library? I find it suspicious that the only machine that can access the library is the one with which I imported the songs to begin with.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I don't try to open iTunes on both machines. If memory serves, I think that causes problems.
Last night I checked for updates and it offered a new version - 9.0.3. I upgraded the laptop (the one that I'm having problems with) and it fixed it. The other machine is still 9.0.2.25 but it doesn't seem to bother it.
All fixed!
Thanks!
