USB Hard Drive no longer recognized after SW Update

I just updated Cisco software and my external hard drive is no longer recognized by Cisco.  It is a Seagate drive that is listed on the Cisco tested - passed - approved list.  It worked prior to this update.  I have disconnected the drive.  Reconnected it.  Rebooted.  Turned machine and router on and off and its still not recognized.  Any ideas?  Thank you, Jim S.

  • Expansion base USB ports & hard drive no longer recognized

    I have an HP dv5000 laptop and the xb2000 expansion base with a built-in hard drive in the base.  I routinely undock the laptop while it's running and plug it back in again and have no problems.  Yesterday, I undocked as usual, but then shut the laptop down while it was undocked.  Then I put it back in the expansion base and booted up again.  The problem is that now I can no longer see the hard drive in the expansion base and the USB ports for the expansion base will also not work. 
    The really sad part is that this is a new expansion base because the same thing happend about a month ago, but I thought it was a hardware problem and just bought a new base.
    Can anyone please help me get my laptop to see the hard drive in the base and also get the USB ports working again as well?
    Thanks,

    I tried to post a reply on a computer with Internet Explorer 8 RC1.  My CPU would always be 100% busy as soon as I hit the Reply button.
    I complained to HP Support and was told that this forum is not compatible with IE 8.  So, I am now on a computer with IE 7.  UPDATE:  I just executed C:\WINDOWS\ie8\spuninst\spuninst.exe and my HP Notebook reverted  back to IE 7 without any problems so far.  I am now able to edit this reply (without my CPU being 100% busy)!
    I had exactly the same problem with all USB Ports and the optional 160GB USB Hard Drive being nonfunctional, immediately after Microsoft
    Update (Custom) finished installing recommended driver "Cypress - Other hardware - HX2LP Kit (3.03.0000.2).
    The device appeared in Device Manager, under Universal Serial Bus Controllers, as "HX2LP Kit (3.03.0000.2)".  I uninstalled the device but
    after a restart it was there again. 
    I executed System Restore to a date before the Cypress drivers were downloaded and installed.
    All xb2000 USB Ports, the USB Hard Drive and Sound now work as before.  I have been using a mouse and printer plugged into the xb2000 today.  Also,
    I completed a Windows Live OneCare, complete backup, to the Hard Drive in the xb2000 base, today.
    The one thing that I hate about my xb2000 is that the Hard Drive keeps spinning as long as the Hard Drive Power Adaptor is connected to
    the base.  I use "Safely Remove Hardware" on the task bar to safely remove the USB drive and then disconnect the Power Adaptor from the base.  If I leave the disk spinning, after a few minutes I get a very loud clicking sound which sounds like something inside the drive is beating on the hard drive chassis.  Maybe it is the arm which holds the heads.  Complaints to HP have not resulted in a solution to these aggravations.

  • External USB hard drive not being recognized

    Hello! I'm sure this has been posted before, but excuse my naivety with this sort of thing...
    I have a mac mini 10.5.6 (1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) and I run the Time Machine function to an external usb hard drive. The hard drive worked fine (plugged into the usb port on an older keyboard), but I went out and bought a new aluminum apple keyboard (because they look so cool ^_^ ) - I plugged the external usb drive into the keyboard and it wasn't recognized, so I tried plugging the external drive directly into the mac mini, but it is still not recognized. It is not showing up in Disk Utility or in System Profiler
    Help? I'd hate to have to give up this fancy keyboard...
    Thank you!
    Dr. E

    I believe I had my external drive plugged into the (old) keyboard because with the old mac that I had didn't have a free usb port for it - so when I got the mini I just plugged things back in where they were. But I have always had the Time Machine back up to this drive (connected to the keyboard) though it has been slow (another reason I thought the new keyboard was a good idea).
    I tried restarting the computer without the alu keyboard plugged in, but same problem of no drive showing up.
    Here is what System Profiler has to say about my drive:

    I don't know the brand or model as it has 'always' been in the case that in which it currently resides and I didn't physically buy the thing :\ I do know that no software was installed with the drive as I assumed that when I put all the old info from the original mac to the mini that it was the sort of thing that would carry over.
    Sorry I'm not terribly helpful - Thank you!

  • USB hard drive is not recognized on MBP running Lion

    Hello,
    I have:
    - Freecom ToughDrive Pro USB hard drive
    - New MBP running Lion 10.7.3
    When I plug the disk in an USB port in the MBP, the light that indicates operation starts blinking but very lighltly colored and the disk is not recognized by the computer. I have put data on it using iMac Snow Leopard. I have plugged the disk into a MBP running Snow Leopard and it works. I have also tried another Lion (older MBP) and it also works.
    What is wrong? How come the disk is not mounted or shown in Disk Utility. Can it be a power issue? Any ideas?
    I have noticed there a lot of similar posts in the forum and none has been satisfactorily solved. Is this a mayor Lion bug? If yes, how can I downgrade to Snow Leopard?

    Thanks for the reply.
    However... how is it possible that with all other MBPs I have tried it works just fine? Has Apple lowered the power levels in recent models? The other MBP where I have tried the disk on are just over a year old, my current one is only a month old.
    Are you saying that USB ports on different Apple computers are supplying different levels of power? That's psychotic! It should be a standard power level... or it should go up on newer models... not down!!!
    I think I'm just gonna return this piece of scrape and get my old (one year old) MBP back... Snow Leopard was bliss compared to this... I rather go back than have to jump to a store to buy a cable to make something work that should work by default.
    On the one Mac it does not work on that Mac does not put out enough power to fully power the drive. If it works on other Mac's we know that the drive works, so that question is answered. And it doesn't work on your newest Mac then there can only one answer, Not Enough Power is being put out by the USB port to fully power it.
    Yes the one Mac that it is not working on has a lower USB power output. Why, I have no idea.
    This is Very Common you can find posts about it on all notebook forums. Psychotic, No. Yes Mac is touted as "It Just Works" which is a flat out LIE.
    Do what you think is best for you. Good Luck

  • After installing Lion, my iomega ex. hard drive no longer recognized for time machine

    Is all my back up gone? Lion does not see the iomega external hard drive. No more automatic backup? How can I restore to Leopard if Lion doesn't recogize the Iomega?

    Thank you Jon for your reply.
    I forgot to mention that I am actually in the process of becoming a certified apple portable hardware technician. Just started going through the training program.
    I've taken many Apple computers apart and replaced most everything in them. I had to replace my original hard drive from Apple a few months ago after it was having serious problems.
    I am familiar with DiskWarrior and such programs. But that's just the thing. The Hard drive is coming back with no errors and is working fine when attached to the iBook externally via Firewire.
    I was thinking it has something to do with the logic board. But being I am not quite that advanced in my tech training I am unable to answer the problem on my own.

  • SATA Hard Drive no longer recognized by Mega 865

    I recently put together an MSI Mega 865 barebone system with the following specifications:  
    Processor: Intel 3.2c Ghz (Northwood core)
    Hard Drive:  Western Digital SATA 10kRPM Raptor
    Memory: 1 GB (2 x 512MB) Kingston 3200 (400Mhz)
    DVD Player: Plextor 8X DVD RW
    Video Card:  HIS Excalibure 9800Pro 128 MB
    OS:  WinXP
    Finally got everything up and running, and then I went to boot up, and the system can no longer find the SATA harddrive.  In fact, it's not even an option in the BIOS now.  
    My question is the following:  
    Would the SATA be available all of the time, or only if a SATA enabled harddrive was recognized?
    When the system is first powered on by plugging the power cord into the wall, the hard drive makes a small amount of noise, as if it's spinning a bit.  When the computer starts up, there is no noise at all, although the hard drive does get warm (which makes me think there is power to the unit).  
    I tried the 2nd power supply (old IDE) for the hard drive, but that provided that same results as the SATA power supply.
    There were some inconsistencies with my mega 865 prior to this.  First, the HIFI would randomly lock up, and the only way to get it back was to unplug the computer from the wall.  2nd, it had lost communication on the serial port (why, I don't know).  3rd, and final, it doesn't seem to recognize my hard drive (or my hard drive is ruined).
    Can someone help me out here, I'm not sure whether to return my HardDrive, my MSI Mega 865, or both.

    The system worked for 4 days or so.  One day, I started it up, and it couldn't boot because it couldn't detect the SATA drive.  When this happened I decided to flash it to the the latest BIOS, but even this did not help.
    The unit had problems before, it would lock up on initial power up, the HIFI/CD/DVD would not respond (when the computer was not on of course).  I would have to plug and unplug the unit 3 or 4 times before it would power on and not lock up.
    I contacted MSI support, and explained my problems.  They told me to return the unit to the reseller.  I'm not sure if the problem was the unit, the hard drive, or both, so I went ahead and returned the HD and the MSI unit.  It'll be another 2 weeks or so now before I get my computer up and running.  :(

  • External hard drive is not recognized after attempt to format

    I just got a new macbook and couldn't use my external hard drive because it was formatted on a PC and only allowed me to read the data. I backed up the data on the 250gb hd and then used Disk Utility to erase the hd and format it as "Mac OS extended (journaled)." After beginning, Disk Utility stopped working and showed up as "not responding" in the Activity Monitor.
    Now the hd does not show up on the desktop and can only be seen in Disk Utility. If I try to erase again or partition the hd the utility stops responding. If I try to zero out the drive it continues to say "preparing to zero" indefinately. Now the hd is also not recognized by windows except in the windows disk utility, but it does not even give the option of formatting/initializing it, so that is not an option.
    Has anyone ever seen anything like this before, or have any idea of something that I haven't tried yet. I really want to get the drive working and have exhausted all the ideas I can come up with. The internet has not provided too many ideas either.
    Thanks so much for your help.
    Black MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I have crazy solution to format it to FAT 32, it work a couple times on my several MAxtor, and Western Digital HD. But this is the last resort and if you are not handy and familiar, don't do it.
    It happen on my external HD, so I crack the enclosure open, pulled the HD out and attached it as internal HD on a PC after adjusting the jumper to master and make sure no other HD attached to the motherboard. Make sure the motherboard detected (you can see it from bios menu).
    Insert a bootable installer disk before XP ('98, ME, or 2000), and start from there until a promt comes, and type fdisk and you delete the old partition and create a new partition and restart once using the disk still and format it using FAT 32.
    After that you put it back to the enclosure, and mount it to MacBook as a new HD with default factory format.
    If you don't have the installer disk, this might help :
    http://www.bootdisk.com/
    But if your maxtor still under warranty better talk to them first and they might willing to reformat it for you.
    Hope this help your external back and let you use it on your MacBook.

  • Time machine (hard drive) no longer recognized

    Took note that the Time Machine was no-longer backing up onto my iMac 1TB Seagate Hard Drive (last backup states 8/18/11).  This was noted when I was attempting to recall an Excel worksheet; alerted that the worksheet I most-frequently use could no-longer be read.  When attempting a (Time Machine) backup retrieval it was realized that the system had not performed a backup since the above date; now the system doesn't even "see" it (backup drive)???
    Can you help?

    BUMP! Count me in on this one. The last Time Machine back-up was 12/6. I take my machine to the office during the week but am working from home this week. My other external drive (Archives) shows up, but Time Machine is MIA. Looking at System Profiler under USB, I can see the drive on the USB hub and the volume is labeled Time Machine, so the computer sees it, it just doesn't mount it to the desktop so Time Machine can't find its drive.
    I've turned the drive off and on. I've swapped cables with the Archive drive. I've rebooted. Nothing works. Both are Western Digital MyBook Studio editions. Both are plugged in to the same hub. I also switched the cables on the hub, but if it's showing up in the Profiler, the problem isn't with the hub, the drive or the cable.
    Suggestions? Clues? Comments? I'd rather not lose a year's worth of Time Machine back-ups at this point, plus I can't even reformat the drive.

  • Firewire drive no longer recognized after upgrade?

    having an onset of problems the last 2 weeks.
    first upgraded to 10.4.6 on mac mini 1.42 non-duo, worked a few days than acted weird with apps crashing. had to reinstall from 10.4 disk. seemed ok. repaired permissions, ect. after reinstall (and a subsequent power outage) a firewire drive attached at time was no longer recognized by mac mini or connected imacG3. reinstalled 10.4.2 on mac mini. installer unable to reinstall 10.4.6., I would like to have firewire drive recognized again. when attached to other firewire drive in daisy chain, says device unrecognized, other wise unable to get any info on drive. what to do?

    I am having nearly the exact same issue as you are experiencing. My Western Digital Dual-Option Media Center 160 GB FW HD is going in and out big time. It seems to be there for a time but then conks out. I have to disconnect the power and now the drive seems to be malfunctioning.
    Same story with my LaCie 52x CD Burner. I placed the Disk Warrior CD in there and the computer recognized the disc at first but then spinning beach balls galore!
    This has to be one of the worst updates to an OS X system I can remember. I can only think PowerPC QA testing has gone through the toilet since the Intel move was completed.

  • LaCie 120Gb external hard drive no longer recognized

    I've had a LaCie 120Gb external hard drive working independently off a firewire cable for a couple of months now. This morning it stopped being picked up as an external drive. It connects because you can feel it whirring, and stops when the computer is turned off (so the cables are working), but it no longer shows up in the finder or disk utility. I tried resetting the PRAM to no effect. Any ideas anyone???
    Dave Nicholls, Auckland.

    it spins because it has power. maybe your firewire port is damaged? does the drive have a usb port that you can try? if not, you can remove the hard drive from it's enclosure and install it in a tower mac or pc if you have one and see if it shows up then.

  • Western Digital Hard Drive No Longer Recognized

    I was doing a back up and tripped over the power cord. It stopped and I restarted, but now my Macbook Pro does not recognize or pick up the hard drive. (It's a MyBook). I was using the firewire and unplugged and restarted computer, etc. several times and nothing. I even switched to the USB and still no. I plugged it into a PC and it picks it up and works fine. Any suggestions to get it back recognized on my MAC?

    No Disk Utility does not pick it up

  • Hard Drive no longer recognized. Input Output Error.

    Recently my iBook G4 1.0 Ghz, has stopped recognizing my hard drive.
    I have taken the hard drive out of the computer, erased it 35 times and reinstalled OSX 10.4 with all the updates. The hard drive runs very smooth. No clicks or problems associated with bad hard drives. This is a new hard drive from Toshiba 5400 80gig.
    After runner the hard drive utility program from OSX several times (about 30) no errors. Also after running fsck about 14 times, not errors where found.
    Everything appeared to be fine after installing the hard drive once again into my iBook. About 3 days later though, the same problem.
    Hard drive Utility says the Tree is dead and BSD is for the cats. Can't repair anything. The computer has ceased to work and I have no desire to take the hard drive out for a third time before I know what might be wrong with it.
    Can anyone help me with this?
    Thank you kindly.

  • USB Hard Drive not mounting til after restart

    This weekend I put a new internal hdd in my Power Mac G5, and decided to use this opportunity to go ahead and put Leopard on one of my macs.
    I'm finding that it doesn't mount some my USB External Hard Drives (3.5" externaly powered cases) unless I plug them in, and then restart the computer. (It also works just starting up if the G5 is off.) The drive needs to be turned on before the start up.
    This is the case with an older IDE->USB 5 inch case, a brand new sata->USB 3.5 case (with the former g5 drive inside, and a sata->usb newertech bridge on the g5 drive. A bus powered 2.5" one mounted fine without the restart. I have not tried any flash drives.
    I've tried the different USB ports on the G5 with no difference. I have not tried plugging it into a hub that's pre-connected (either powered or non).
    They don't show up in Disk Utility during the time they don't mount. They do after the plugged-in restart, though. They also unmount then remount fine after the plugged in-restart.
    The drives work just fine on my MBP (running Tiger). They worked just fine before the Leopard upgrade. If I boot into the Tiger partition on the G5, they work just fine.
    I've seen references to other people having what sounds sort of like this problem in google searches but nothing exact, and those threads seem to get sidetracked with useless comments (like "Well, you should just use Firewire!" etc).
    Has anyone experience this...and moreover, anyone found a fix.

    Two things to check:
    The drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT 32
    You almost always have to use a powered USB hub with the under powered port on the Time Capsule, even if the hard drive has its own power supply
    Where are you expecting the drive to "show up"?

  • HELP!  Hard drive no longer recognized

    Installed Lion on my MBP first day.  Everything worked great except that my TM backup would no longer work on my WD external hard drive, so I had no backup.  WD is supposed to be working on this.
    Yesterday, while checking email I get the spinning wheel.  Spun for about 15 minutes so I did a hard boot.  (Held the button down until shutdown)
    When the computer tried to come back, all I get is the apple screen with a spinning wheel again.  So I restart with option key down so I can look at the drives.  The drives shown are the Lion recovery disc, Bootcamp, and EFI boot disc.  Everything I read said I need to erase the Macintosh HD and reinstall OS.  I erased the disc, still no luck. When I run disc utility, verify disc, it says the volume MacintoshHD appears to be OK, but when I try to reinstall the origional OS from the DVD that came with my computer, it says the disc is not available.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I can see it in the disk utility, but not in the install window. This is the part that I don't understand.
    I don't understand it either. I think there may be issues involved in installing Lion on a drive with a Boot Camp partition. That's why I think you should start over with a blank drive. Restore everything except Boot Camp to the state it was in before you installed Lion. Go through the whole installation process again, and when everything is working, run Boot Camp in Lion if you wish.
    By the way, for future reference, you made mistakes that may have made matters worse.
    When an application hangs, force-quit it. Don't do a forced reboot except as a last resort.
    If you can't boot, try booting in safe mode, or from the Lion recovery partition. Don't erase a boot volume except as a last resort.
    You need at least two independent backups of all your data, one of which should be off-site.

  • Lacie Hard Drive no longer recognized

    I had the power go out in my apartment for a couple of seconds today and now one of my Lacie FW external hard drives won't be recognized or mounted by my Mac. In System Profiler, it recognizes it as "Unknown Device", but the Disk Utility won't "see" it at all. I also have Data Rescue II, but it won't recognize the drive either. I have 2 other Lacie externals that didn't seem to be affected by the outage.
    Troubleshooting I've already tried:
    - rebooting
    - shutting down, uplugging all drives, and unplugging Mac for 15 min
    - resetting PRAM
    Are there any other ideas out there? I've read good things about Disk Warrior, but I don't want to buy it if I'm not sure it will even recognize the drive. Thoughts?

    That was the kind of malfunction exhibited in some LaCie drives: They powered up, spun, but were unable to mount. Sometimes, the blue ligt on the front was barely dimmed or slighty pulsated along with the spinning. And usually, the cause of the problem was a bad AC adapter.
    Just Google for that info, or have a look at this page.
    If one of the other power supplies matches, you loose nothing but a copule of minutes by trying. If it doesn't work, the internal bridge board could be fried.
    It could also be a corrupt firmware issue, but if System Profiler is unable to identify it, the LaCie firmware updater will probably fail as well.
