Hello there i am in need of help, i have a United 900 GB external hard drive and a few USB sticks that i have been using for a while, Then yesterday all of a sudden my computer doesn't recognize my removable or mass storage what so ever, they dont show up in disk management and they dont make that ding-dong sound when i plug them in, i have tried using every USB port on my computer but nothing happens, plz help!!
See if any problems are reported in Device manager. Update drivers for anything to do with USB roots controllers, and hubs, and the chipset. Unplug other USB devices just in case they're drawing too much current. You can check on current draw in DM / usb root hubs / properties / power
Another thought, turn off the computer and unplug the power lead. If it is a laptop remove the main battery as well. Hold the power on/off button in for about 20 seconds. Put it back together and see if it helps.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
check to see IF your clock and date are right. If the bios battery is dying and the date is wrong, it affects many things on a PC. Some HELP in posting on Computing.net plus free progs and instructions 7 Golds
