Windows 7 repair will not recognize USB disk

I have a system image I created in Windows 7 that I want to restore to a partition on my iMac hard disk. It lives on an external USB drive.
However, when I boot Win7 in recovery mode from the DVD, it is unable to see the external USB disk. I assume this is because it needs the Windows boot camp drivers.
How can I make these available to the Windows recovery mode?

I did, thanks.

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

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.

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?

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.

Satellite L300D will not recognize USB Disc unless WLAN is disabled

I have a venerable Satellite L300D running Vista SP2. I also have a Fujitsu 40Gb SATA disk drive from my old laptop in a USB 2.0 caddy, with dual USB plugs to draw more current.
I can connect the USB caddy successfully to my Windows 7 laptop through a single USB plug on a USB 2.0 socket so I know it works.
On the Satellite L300D it sets up the Generic USB disc in device manager, but does not register the 2 disk partitions as filestore in Windows Explorer. In fact when you try and expand COMPUTER in explorer it times out.
I noticed that the WLAN (Realtek TL8187B) is on the same USB 2.0 Controller, so I disabled it. This switched off my Wireless, but immediately Windows Explorer fired into life and I could access the partitions (D: and G:) and could even run check disk (no fails) and defragment it. As soon as I ENABLE the WLAN driver the disc fails to register.
I have updated the Realtek drivers from the Toshiba web site, but I would like a solution that allows me to use the disc AND the WLAN at the same time.
Anyone any ideas?

Thanks for getting back to me.
I use both USB drives and a Toshiba external HDD and SyncToy to backup my files - both without trouble. The Toshiba HDDworks fine today - in Device Manager it is recognised as "TOSHIBA External USB 3.0 USB Device" (even though I dont have USB 3.0 ports on my laptop) and is recognised by Partition manager as disc D:. The Disc caddy is recognised as "Generic USB Disk USB Device" - but not by Partition Manager - both use the same driver and hang off the same controller. The Caddy disc works fine on my other laptop (Windows 7) and once I've disabled the WLAN.
I had not done any specific driver downloads other than let Windows Update do its thing. It has taken me to Vista SP2 and I note that the "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller" (above the USB Root Hub and USB Mass Storage Device in the Device Mgr hierarchy) are at File Version: 6.0.6002.18465(vistasp2_gdr.110505-037).
Since I noticed the recognition problems and interaction with WLAN, I have done some attempted repairs (1) downloaded the latest Toshiba realtek WLAN drivers "6.1162.0610 built by : Win DDK" (realtek_wlan_20100225.zip) - but it was failing before then. (2) I have also upgraded the BIOS to version 1.80. (3) The only other change I've made is to change the driver on the PCI bus from AMD (3GIO) Filter Driver to PCI Bus on advice from another forum.
When you say "remove the WLAN driver, reinstall the chipset driver and install the WLAN driver again" what exactly do you mean? EG in deveice manager - select WLAN - do uninstall ; what do you mean by chipset? - uninstall the Controller as well or some other device?

Emac will not recognize drives/disks

I have an emac. It will not load up properly. I have tried restarting with the recovery disk, but when the apple start up screen starts a message appears that tells me I must restart my computer. I restart by pressing the C key, but get the same result. I then start normally (which takes about 15 minutes), and the desktop screen appears normal....except the disk utility program does not recognize any hard drive, nor will the cd rom drive be recognized.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Try resetting the pram. Do this by holding down command/option/p/r simultaneously. Then restart the machine, and keep holding these 4 keys down until you hear 2 or 3 start up chimes. Then release them, and see if the problems go away.
If you can successfully get it started up and can open disk utility, repair permissions on your drive.

Windows 7 will not recognize network drive on airport extreme

Good day. I created a network drive using a WD my book 1tb hard drive. I formatted it to fat32. Windows 7 does not see the hard drive, but the WD software can find it and the apple extreme router can also see the hard drive. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi 2pfspiff,
To verify if you can connect to the drive at all, you may want to try to manually mount it from the Windows machine. The following article has some generall steps for mounting an Airport Extreme USB hard drive under XP and Vista, but the steps should be similar under Windows 7.

Not recognize USB disks

My OLD Mini is crazy!
When I plug any Pendrive or External USB disk it is not reconized by OS X, even in USB Informations in System Information or in Disk Utilities app.
However, if I press ALT key in startup, every Pendrive or UDB disk is reconized.
AND if it is bootable... my Mini boots perfectly.
I already installed OS X from zero, and not solved.
Any other USB device works fine, like keyboards, mouse (even wireless USB mouse works).
Anybody has any idea about what could be happening? Thanx!!

Hello, yes that is very strange, but boot from your Install Disc & see if it shows up in DU.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
