Computer Not Detecting Usb Flash Stick Os System Windows 7?
Jan 14, 2013
My computer laptop is not detecting usb flash stick my os system is windows 7, when I plugin the usb flash stick into my laptop a pop up say's ''installing device driver software'' , then a pop up says ''device driver software was not succesfully installed '' I have tried usb stick on another usb port on my laptop but still the same popup not working. In device manager on other devices, it has a usb disk 2.0 box with a yellow exclamation mark at the side, I tried to up date, the same popup appears saying ''Windows was unable to install your usb disk 2.0 ''.Then I tried the usb stick on another computer and it worked correctly.
At some point the view/layout of my usb sticks has changed ie everything is in file type view...?How can I change it so that the contents appear altogether like c drive...?I have attached a screenshot of the unwanted layout.I have noticed that in my computer the usb stick shows as removable disk,however if I right click the usb stick and choose open as portable device, it then shows everything as normal...?
System: i5 3750k Asrock z77 extreme4 8 gigs ddr3 ripjaw gskill nvidia gtx 260 Antec 650w Windows 7 64 bit Hard drives attempting to use for new install: Western igital X2, Seagate Problem I am having is hard drives I plug into the Asrock z77 are not showing up in Windows 7 install. When I first unpackaged the computer, I attempted to use an old Western Digital hard drive from my previous Q9550/EVGA 780i system. I was unaware that hard drives from another chip set install probably wont boot into windows. So I foolishly I attempted to boot into windows right after I assembled the new i5 computer with a old hard drive from a Q9550 system. Not sure if this might be part of the problem, but I figured I would mention it.The hard drive showed up in BIOS but did not show up "Where do you want to install windows".
Neither did my other hard drives ( another Western Digital & Seagate). However, if I take any of these hard drives and put them back into my old Q9550/EVGA 780i and put in the Windows 7 install CD, they will show up in the box of drives availableIn other words, all hard drives are showing up to install windows 7 on in my old q9550/evga 780i system, but none of the drives are showing up in my new Asrockz77Hard drive showing up in Asrock Z77 bios: When I try to install windows 7 to a hard drive it does not show up Here is the SAME hard drive put back into my old q9550/evga 780i system. It shows up.All hard drives show up in the q9550/evga 780i, none of them show up in the Asrock z77Attempted:Changing sata cables in case ones I were using were faulty. Trying different sata ports Upgraded to latest Board BIOS One stick of RAM at a time Diskpart: tried disk part command, then disk list and it displays "no fixed disk to show" Different storage modes: AHCI I am insuring that only a single HDD and CD are plugged into the sata ports at a time. They are both plugged into Intel sata controller ports, not the Asmedia ones as confirmed by this screen shot and video.

I have a Diamond ATI HD 5670 graphics card installed, and when ever I try to connect my Toshiba LCD HDTV 40E220U to the computer it comes back saying "No Video Signal", I tried what the manual said for the HDTV. But it still wont recognize my HDTV, what should I do?
have two hard disks in my PC one is IDE(120GB) and the other is IDE(60GB). My PC is not detecting my IDE(120GB) hard disk. I have been replaced my jumper cable but it still not recognizing
When i connect the first USB Stick (1 GB Kingston) everything it's ok, it shows up in Explorer, but when i try to connect the other one (i have two) it wont show up, but i can access it if i just type the drive letter in the address bar (J:).Also if i try to connect my phone as a USB device or any other memory stick, same problem...not showing up in Computer window.
I have a laptop without CD/DVD burner. Tried to create System Repair Disc from Windows Backup Restore tool but it does not recognize virtual CD drive, networked CD drive, or flash memory as a target to write the Repair disc. I do not have an external USB CD/DVD burner and don't want to buy one just to do this (I can normally read/write CD/DVDs via network to my tower PC). I've researched many sites and have found no clear solution. I've created a bootable USB flash and can bring up the Norton tool, but can't find the files to even copy over to create a repair tool. Would appreciate if someone has actually done this to share how they built a USB flash version of the Repair disc.
I am not able to access the HP v220W 16 GB Flash Drive is not working in my Windows 7 system it says " Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (Code 43)"
I have win 7 home premium on one tower and win 7 pro. on another. My question is can I save a system iso of each one on usb flash drives in case of a crash? My home premium c:/ drive shows 445gb. free from 465gb. so would I have to use at least a 20gb. flash drive. I know New Egg has a large selection of flash drives. I have a second hd in my pro system I used to save a complete iso backup on it.
I need to create a system Image of my C drive. I m I right in thinking Windows Backup wont allow me to save that image onto a USB Flash drive?
What if I use something like paragon, does that allow the actual image to be put into a flash drive? I know they allow "bootable usb" but I guess that s the same as what the Windows 7 DVD/USB tool does right..i.e but the actual windows to boot into and then use an image in the HDD to restore?
I do back-up using "Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsBackup and Restore" and select image, but my flashdrive says "The drive is not a valid back-up location".
Today, we can flash some BIOS from an operating system. Is this not quite dangerous, nutrient for viruses? When the OS is active, too many processes are active during this critical step and has a good chance something can go awry. I try to update always from the external usb floppy drive or from an usb stick.
I used to create USB boots using the Program Ultra ISO and boot and install windows with my USB flash. But this time it isn't possible. When I choose to boot from USB, a black page comes, giving the message : Start booting from usb device ... but it remains on this page and nothing further happens. I tried the same flash on another system and it booted completely. It shows that the USB is written correctly and it must be something wrong with my system.
whenever i try to watch a Internet video or any online flash video through my usual browser firefox, the video will freeze the entire works. it's not every time. sometimes the video will play through but almost always it'll freeze everything. can't move cursor and only by closing lid and going into sleep mode can i get back up and running. firefox 3.6.18, video drivers updated. flash updated.one curious thing did happen tonight for first time however. while i was scrolling through bookmarks looking for this site the video stopped but i was able to continue using computer. could not get video to replay however. sometimes everything freezes but cursor goes into that "working circle" mode. but still can't get it to unfreeze.
since last week ive been having a adobe flashplayer problem . I need to do you tube videos but now I cant get any videos everytime i try and get a video it tells me i must have adobe flashplayer 9 or better installed on my computer !!! Ive downloaded flashplayer 11.3 like 40 times and it still does not work . Its like flash-player is not recognized on my computer no more even though it is downloaded and installed.
i've been having an issue with flash content for the past three weeks now, i've tried just about anything and i'm becoming desperate. i've conducted a wide variety of tests on the various components in my build, but i'm still no closer to discovering what the issue may be. the issue occasionally, when watching flash content, my computer will freeze and i'll lose all control over the mouse and keyboard. it sounds like the computer is about to blue screen (looping audio), but it doesn't - it just hangs on the same image for anywhere between 15 seconds to 2 minutes. sometimes, i need to hard restart my system in order to use the computer again. this will typically happen when flash content is played full-screen on websites like Internet and twitch.tv, and on resolutions higher than 480p - but i have experienced (less frequent) crashes when the content is not full-screen, at 360p. it just seems to be video that causes the problem, as i've yet to have any issues with websites that present an alternative form of flash content. hardware: processor: intel i5-2500k @ 3.30ghzgraphics card: nvidia geforce gtx 570 1280mbmotherboard: asrock z68 extreme4 gen3memory: kingston hyperx genesis grey 8gbpsu: cooler master silent pro modular 700w nothing is overclocked, and i'm running windows 7 x64 home premium sp1. i've uploaded my dxdiag here. what have i done to try and diagnose the problem? -enabled and disabled hardware acceleration.-updated to latest graphics card drivers, also rolled back to previous versions i've known to work previously with my system.-monitored system usage/temperatures when watching hd flash content. nothing out of the ordinary.-ran memtestx86 for 24 hours. no errors.-ran prime95 blend for 24 hours. no errors.-furmark for 2 hours to test graphics card stability, things seemed fine. have been playing far cry 3 continuously on high settings for the past few days with zero instability.-i've tried downloading older versions of flash, and using different browsers. no change. when did it start? the issue started when i updated the bios for my motherboard (asrock z68 extreme4 gen3) from v1.20 to v2.20, since then i've updated to v2.30. i would roll back to v1.20, but it's simply not possible according to various sources i've read online. thoughts i'm pretty sure my hardware is fine. all the tests i've done indicate my system is stable when i'm not running flash content. i've been playing games, writing documents for university and browsing the internet with absolutely no issues (as long as i don't watch any flash content). i suspect there are compatibility issues with flash, my hardware setup and the latest bios updates from asrock, but maybe i've missed something.
For awhile now my mouse has been very erratic, and I want to reinstall my comp to rid the problem. My antivirus & Malwarebytes' are not finding the problem.
With all my files now on a flash drive, is it possible to re-contract whatever is giving me mouse problems when I stick the drive back in a fresh installed comp? I highly doubt it, but I want another person's opinion.
I have an issue where my flash drive periodically won't show up in My Computer... when I insert it, I hear the 'hardware insert' sound but no drive in my computer and no autostart. it doesn't show in device manager and clicking 'refresh' does not make it show up! if I remove the flash drive, the drive appears in 'my computer' for a second then disappears... the same problem occurs when I plug it into another port... I have four ports, only three of them are not used by something plugged in permanently... usually I have to insert the flash drive into random ports at least 5 times before it displays the drive...
I have a 8 GB Transcend flash drive. I works properly on other systems (at least one system), but when I plug it in my Laptop, it is not even detected. Other USB devices work perfectly with my laptop, the only problem is with my Flash drive AND my laptop. I have tried to re install USB Hubs etc. of the laptop, but it did not help.
I came across a video, and i had to upgrade my flash player to play it. I did, and ever since my computer has been restarting on its own, anytime it wants! Aldo, there's a reset password option thing when i start my computer, like someone is controling it! What's going on?
UPDATE : i unistalled FP and redawnloaded it, the pc hasnt restarted yet, though the net seems to be awefully slow!
i'm trying to work out some issues that have been plaguing my computer for a few weeks now. my problem is that my system will freeze and become unresponsive when watching Internet and other video players that use flash. i can't get back to normal even if i use ctrl + alt + delete or escape, forcing me to run a hard reset on my computer. an example of what i'll see is in the picture. so i uninstalled chrome, ran a full system scan and pc tuneup using norton 360, unistalled and reinstalled flash and uninstalled and reinstalled my nvidia gtx 560 ti driver.
