I just noticed that in Device Manager my printer is showing in the disk drive section as a USB device, and in the printer section it is also listed, where it shows my printer as a (DOT4PRINT), and lists a printer as: Printer IEEE 1284.4 compatible.

My disk drive is not booting, not detected.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy friend's laptop (Acer Aspire One 722 - Windows 7 x64) has been shut down after opening an email and Windows never started up again. When you attempt to start up the windows, it stays the black screen and says "No bootable Device Found"! I inserted Windows Live Disk and loaded it (Windows XP Mini - Golden Edition). When I went to "My Computer", it did not show any local drive. I went to "Disk Management" and in there, there was also no unallocated or allocated space. I even removed the HDD and plugged it back in. No thing happened. Then I removed the RAM card and inserted it back. Again, nothing happened! By the way, HDD had movements when laptop was on (I had removed the beneath panel).I inserted Windows 7 Disk to install a fresh Windows 7. But when you get to the part where it asks you to choose the partition to install the operating Sustem, it shows one unallocated drive with 0 (Zero) capacity! The options to Delete and format are disable. Only the option "New" is active and it gives you (0) bite to partition!
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm currently using a Windows 7 PC built by a friend of mine, but starting yesterday, its been acting up. The problem is there used to be two hard drives I can access, Drive B and Drive C. When I boot up the computer, BIOS only detects Drive C (if I'm not mistaken), and Disk Managements as well. I realized this when all the programs whose targets are on that drive are all broken on the desktop.So Drive B doesn't show up anywhere at all.
View 29 Replies View RelatedI have a 1 TB Western Digital Caviar Black hard disk. While installing Windows 7, a screen for hard disk partition was asked. I created 4 drives: 200 GB, 200 GB, 200 GB and 400 GB. And then the windows 7 got installed. But now when I log into my PC, I can only see first 3 200 GB drives. Where did my 400 GB drive go? What mistake did I do and how can I recover it back?
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy computer has been running slow since we had all our files switched over from our old computer to our new one.It's an HP we got in December 2010. Programs run slow and whenever we turn the computer on from sleep mode,it usually takes 30 seconds or so to get anything requiring an internet connection to fully work. Disks won't open most of the time and I can't install anything. Whenever we try to scan our computer for viruses, it will end up telling us it couldn't finish the scan because it wasn't able to scan a certain file.
View 1 Replies View Relatedcurrent printer: HP office jet 6500AI have had the same problem twice on 2 different windows operating systems with 2 different HP printers?Both time were for my parents. One with was with XP the other Windows7. They try to connect a HP printer with USB hoping it will get autodetected and windows will have the driver, it doesnt, they call me. I download what HP calls a driver but its a huge files (I think one was 30mb and the current one even more). I got around the first problem by installing the old printer to the XP through their router instead of USB but now they do not have a router. I think the printer is about a year old, the PC is new. So I googled the HP office jet 6500A and tried the two suggestions I found (right click, properties, run in vista mode and the other was a new usb cable....) but neither worked.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI tried to reformat my dads hard drive to reinstall windows 7. It was in 2 partitions, so I ran the windows 7 disc and it ran through the motions, I formatted the c to re-install windows and it wouldn't let me. I went into dos under diskpart to try and format it that way, still no luck. I connected it to my computer then under disk management deleted the 2 partitions so there was only 1 now which had the size i.e, 600GB Unallocated. I connected it back into my dads computer and ran the set-up again. Now the computer wont even detect the drive. I need to re-format the drive to like factory default, is this possible, also do I have to do it in dos.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI plugged in my eSATA drive while CrystalDiskInfo was running and the computer froze. There was no way to regain control of the computer so I restarted.So now this eSATA drive is not recognized by the computer. The eSATA drive works in another computer.What's really weird is that another eSATA drive I have works in the computer where the crash happened.I've tried uninstalling all drivers (both hidden and visible) in Device Manager that relate to the drive.

so I got a new asus P8z68-V pro motherboard. Im re-using my current 750gb SATA drive. I plugged it into the sata port, and start the computer. When it starts it says "no hard drive is detected!" I go into the bios, and on the bottom it has a disk drive, and a SATA drive. It recognizes that the sata drive is there, but when i go to start up it says no hard drive is detected. I have tried a few different sata ports and it is the exact same thing.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got an issue during post installation. One of my hard drive is never given a drive letter, but it does show up as a possible install drive during setup.
I always have to go into Drive Management and assign that drive a letter (and moving my DVD drive down a letter to keep the letters in order).
Under Drive Management the drive has the Properties (System, Active, Primary Partition), so I'm wondering if that is the issue.
Is there a way to change Drive Properties (if that is the case)?

View 1 Replies View Relatedhaving an issue with a brand new HD I bought. Right now Windows 7 will not detect the HD as a drive.It shows up in the BIOS correctly, but not in My Computer. It is in a Frankenstein setup: SATA connection into the SATA port on the MB (it is enabled and showing), with power from an external HD enclosure.I don't think that would affect it though, as it is just drawing power from a different PS.i did some digging and found it in the System Information under 'discs' instead of 'drives' like my original HD.[URL]...
