Hello dear members, I wanted to plug in my external hard disk, but when I do that windows does nothing, when I go to my computer it doesn't show up. So I thought that my external hard drive was broke, but when I tryed to plug in my mp3 player it did nothing too, then I tried to plug in my digital cam and it does nothing, I realy need help because I can't find the problem, I really need the files on my external hard disk because its for my work... Thanks in advance! Regards, -.Exorcist
Right click 'My Computer' > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager > Universal Serial Bus controllers. Check and see if any are disabled GL on sorting it out.
i reckon it's most likely to be a bust usb port. try other ports. They must work for the modem, or mouse or something?
I have the same problem with my External HD but it works at other places, and i can use my ipod and stuff on the pc. Anyone know anything that might help.
It can't be a virus because I formated my hard drive, the strange thing is, nothing works on my pc, so I tried my external hard drive on my xbox 360 and it didn't work... :S but nothing works on my laptop really nothing! Regards, -.Exorcist
lol thats why it doesnt work.. what kind of desktop/laptop is it? if its a dell, use the cd that came with the pc to install the drivers
If it's a PC, you should have ectra USB port's at the back, if that dosen't work then there's hardware/software problem that the PC isn't recognising.
