Not Recognizing HDD
May 25, 2009I had an old computer running Windows XP. I decided to build a new computer and bought all new components including a new hard drive and installed Vista on this new computer. I want to get some pictures and other files off the old HDD but Vista is not recognizing the old drive. My old HDD is an IDE and new one is SATA. I have the jumper set to slave (DVD is master) and when I started the computer, Vista recognized the drive and installed drivers, but I can't access it. I've gone through Computer Management and the drive is there but not assigned a letter and I can't assign it a letter. I've also tried converting it to run through USB and the same issue.
View 7 Replies View RelatedOs Is Not Recognizing
Dec 26, 2008I'm currently using 32 bit Vista Home Premium and an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum sound card. The OS is not recognizing my rear speakers at all. I've tried letting Vista install the drivers itself and I've also used beta and current release drivers from Creative's site. 5.1 sound is enabled in the sound properties tab in Vista along with Creative Audio Console. I've toyed around with different settings and these are the results. If audio console is set to 2.1 and Vista 5.1, all channels play correctly but rear channels play through Front Left and right speakers. If both are set to 5.1, sound is distorted, center and sub don't play, and there is no sound from rear. Sound plays through rear speakers if I use Dolby Pro Logic II settings on my speakers (Logitech Z-5500). That said, the OS still does not play through the rear channels. This only works on movies and music, but not games or other software. At one point in the past, my rear-right channel would work. I don't know what I did, but no nothing works.

Feb 3, 2009I'm attempting to install Vista Business x64 on an Asus Rampage II Extreme motherboard which has the ICH10 Intel controller (as well as a JMicron controller).
I have a single Spinpoint F1 (1TB) connected to SATA1 and a PATA optical drive on the JMicron controller.
Supposedly Vista has the relevant drivers to locate my SATA HDD however it never finds it.
I have the Intel controller configured as ACHI in the BIOS and the JMicron as IDE which as far as I am aware is correct.

Recognizing USB Devices
Feb 23, 2010I've been experiencing this problem for approximately six months on and off. Intermitently, when I go to attach a USB device (memory stick or ipod) I get the pop up "USB Device Not Recognized." At this point, nothing I attach will be recognized
In the Device Manager whatever I attach is listed as an Unknown Device. I check the Properties and get the advice "No drivers are installed for this devices" I've tried right clicking and Updating the Driver Software but get the response: "Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date". I check the Properties again and still get the advice "No drivers are installed for this devices".........................
Not Recognizing LAN Connection
Dec 31, 2008I recently built a second PC for myself, and decided to try out Vista on it. It installed flawlessly, but there's one problem. Vista does not seem to be recognizing my LAN connection. I tried hard-wiring it from my modem, to my router, to the Ethernet port on the back of my computer with no success. From there, I tried plugging it straight from my modem to the port on the back of the computer.
No success there either. I know that it's not a problem with the motherboard because I installed this program that came with the mobo called 'Expressgate'; and when I run that before my computer loads the OS, the internet works perfectly.

View 5 Replies View RelatedNot Recognizing Slave Drive
Mar 10, 2010I recently had a serious crash on my Shuttle61 series desktop which was running WXP Pro. I bought this machine with the OS pre-installed and the store is now out of business. Fortunately, my son just bought W7 for his machine and he gave me his Vista Home Premium Upgrade package and I decided to try it. Installed just fine after installing my trusty old W2K OS as a base, upgraded and its not as bad as I thought! So far only one obvious glitch... the OS is not recognizing my 320Gig "slave" drive which is where a lot of my pictures and data are stored.
I went into the BIOS and the Slave is showing up properly. I also popped the cover off and made sure all connections were snug, but this drive has been working just fine until the Vista install. Connecting external USB drive shows up just fine as well. So I am baffled about why the BIOS is seeing the drive, but the OS is not.
Quit Recognizing Printers
Aug 4, 2009I have a newer sony vaio running vista ... I have 3 hp printers installed, as I need a printer in various work locations ... all of the printers have worked fine for 6 months. Now, all of the sudden, with no error messages/popups/etc. they have all quit working. My USB ports are functioning with all other devices and the printers work fine with any other pc. The printers will read "ready" and the file will show as printing, but nothing happens. When I initially plug the printers into the usb, I get an error sound, but no pop-up. I have tried deleting one of the printers, but I got no usb printer recognition to re-install it, so I restored to a point before the printer issues and the printer is back in the printers folder, but still doing nothing.

Jan 18, 2009Canon XL-2 camcorder is not recognized by Vista when plugging into the firewire port. Premiere CS3 does not see the device either. No issues with XP2 32bit... recognized and captured fine. Searching the net reveals firewire connectivity on Vista (in general) is problematic, if non-existent. Should have done my homework before building the box. 64 bit allows for access to more RAM and than means faster render times. Not being able to capture via firewire is a definite "show stopper". I had been happy with 64 bit up to this point (all bells and whistles turned off of course). Another "EPIC FAIL" for Microsoft.

Long Delay In Recognizing USB Mass Storage Device
Mar 23, 2008I have a USB mass storage device, and it takes vista around 30 minutes to recognize the two partitions (one is a 64 MB FAT32 partition and the other is a 111 GB FAT32 partition). On my old slow computer, XP will recognize the drive partitions within seconds. Is there some setting I need to change in vista to get this to work correctly?

Nov 29, 2009I had 4GB physical memoryon the PC. With Windows vista 32 bit, available memory is shown as 3.3GB. I asked and was told that only under 64 bit windows, will the available memory be 4GB. When I upgraded to windows 7, I chosed 64 bit, but the available memory shown in the system is still 3.3 GB. Why is this and is there a way to make the full 4GB available? It's possible that my video card is using RAM instead of its own RAM. If I install a video card with its own RAM, will the full 4GB be available?

Mar 26, 2009I'm running Vista 64 Home (SP1) Premium on a homebuilt machine w/8GB (4 X 2GB modules). Windows is reporting 8 GB of Installed Physical Memory but is reporting only 4 GB of Total Physical Memory. I first noticed this when, after installing a game, the game system specs said 3092 MB of RAM.
I have checked the BIOS and it recognizes 8 GB. Memory Remapping is Enabled. Under Memory Remapping is "PCI MMIO Allocation: 4GB to 3328 MB" (?). MSConfig Boot Options shows Max Memory is not checked and no value in the box below. I tried enabling it and using 8192 as the value, but it made no difference.

Trying 8GB Of Memory On 64?
Mar 23, 2008I am putting together a new build and since PC-6400 DDR2 is sooo cheap I thought I might consider 8GB on an X38 board. I already have 2x2GB dimms, and was guessing if I went to 8GB it might be nice to have 4 identical DIMMS, which are still available (ie, another 2x2gb of the pair I have now). Anyone have wisdom about this? My main uses NOW are MS Flight Simulator, Gigastudio, and both of those benefit from at least 3GB, beyond that I don't know. I don't forsee video editing.
