Internal Houdini Drives Not Being Recognized
Mar 3, 2012
Been on Windows 7 for a couple years. (On Windows 7 HomePremium) Windows 7 on partition of my main HD (sata) (Western Digital- have had good luck with them over the years)had a second 320 gig HD (sata) (WD) and a third 12 year old WD ide 40 gig (scuzzy, mainly just backups) Abit IP35Pro mobo (was suspecting sata connects) It's been fine. Until maybe a few months ago when my 320 gig hd blinked out once. I ended up clean reinstal windows, wiped it, lost some data. changing the sata connections brought it back. Might've happened twice.

I just finished putting together my computer, installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bits. However, both of my hard drives (one SSD, one regular HDD) are showing up as external drives (plug-and-play). If I click the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon, I could actually "eject" both of my hard drives.

Let me say first that I am not dual booting. I have a 250gb Internal SATA drive, and a 800gb internal SATA drive. Both hooked up and ready to go.What I want to do, and am unsure if it's possible, is to install Windows 7 64bit on the 250gb drive, and thats IT. I want to boot from that drive, but everything else I want to go onto the 800gb drive.I haven't done this yet but I get the feeling that if I were, when it boots from the 250, things that I download and install would always try and add themselves there. And I dread of having to manually move downloaded files and redirect installed programs every time.

I am running windows 7 home 64 bit (build 7600). I have a gateway fx7026. It has two internal hard drives. When I look under device manager they are both listed and they are both listed under the bios menu. When I look in my computer though under hard disk drives it only shows the one that I have the OS on. When I had Vista it showed both of them. Is this something I should be worried about. The drives are listed as WDC WD3200AAJS-22B4A0 DRIVE 1 and WDC WD3200AAJS-22B4A0 DRIVE 0.

This problem just popped up on both my win 7 machines. Powered usb external drives (the ones that are based on standard hard drives and plug into the wall) are recognized, but the smaller usb powered ones are not. The drives work on the same computers when booted xp so it's not the usb itself.

I have tried multiple fixes and still cannot connect any flash drive or external drive to any usb port on my computer without the dreaded "Usb not recognized" error. My mouse and keyboard are both usb and have worked fine though. I have unplugged the power cord from my psu for a few minutes. I have booted into safe mode. I have deleted the infcache.1 file. I have check my Bios settings (and have latest bios update). I have completely removed all the usb devices in device manager and rebooted which reinstalled everything. I have booted the computer up with a flash drive already in a usb port. I have gone into Drive Manager to see if anything is recognized without a drive letter. I have even applied the hotfix from here - [URL]. Nothing seems to work, yet all of these devices work fine on my netbook running Windows XP.
When I originally installed Windows 7 everything was working fine. I would say it roughly stopped working a month or two ago. I don't constantly use flash drives or my externals so I could be a little off on the time frame (why I didn't do a system restore). I first noticed the problem when I plugged in my Tmobile G1 phone to transfer files and it wasn't recognized. My phone would still charge off of the usb port, but I couldn't mount and browse the 4 gig sd card in my phone. It was working before because I have files on my phone that I transferred from my computer after the Windows 7 install. I started testing out my known, working flash drives as well as my usb powered 2.5" external drive and they too come up unrecognized on all usb ports (front and back).
My specs:
AMD X2 5000+ BE
Gigabyte GA-M55plus-S3G mobo
G.Skill PI Black 4GB ram (2x2 - DDR2 800)
2 Western Digital Sata drives
Nvidia 9800 GTX+ video card
450 Watt PSU (don't remember brand right now, but good amp rating on 12v for video card).
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
The only drivers I am using for the system that are not the default Windows 7 drivers are for my video card and onboard audio. Onboard audio is the only Windows 7 driver provided on the Gigabyte website for my motherboard. What shoild I do, check or double check or should I start considering formatting and a reinstall of Windows 7 (which I have been trying to avoid)?

I have a Zotac 570 gtx connected via HDMI cable to my Asus VE258 LED monitor.I've had this video card and monitor setup working before with the exact cable, card and monitor.Something changed in my system where the monitor is no longer recognized for what it is. When i go into my Nvidia control panel under change resolution 1.Digital Display, 2. DVI-PC Display - Resolution 1080p 59 Hz. There is no DVI cable plugged into the computer and the monitor is set on HDMI input. When i go to my Audio playback devices, the HDMI connection does not show up at all, even as disabled or disconnected.When i go to play a game (Diablo 3, Skyrim, Farcry2) The game either doesn't open (skyrim) giving me the error that resolution is not recognized (but then does not give me any resolutions to choose from in the options menu) or will play (Diablo 3) but is stuck on extremely low resolutions with only 2 options.
Here's what i've done. Contacted Zotac and had them send me the most recent drivers for the video card. Uninstalled originals and re-installed the new ones. Contacted Asus (they say its not the monitor as long as its set on HDMI input) I am unable to find a driver that will make my computer (Windows 7) recognize the monitor for what it is. Zotac failed after their attempt with the driver and told me to RMA the card. So i did... i waited a month.

I am adding a drive and would like some opinions.
3.07 gigahertz Intel Core i7 950
Board: ASUSTeK Computer INC. P6T DELUXE V2
12280 Megabytes Usable Installed Memory
C: drive- WDC WD3000HLFS-01G6U1 ATA Device [Hard drive] (300.07 GB)
E: drive- WDC WD1500HLFS-01G6U1 [Hard drive] (150.04 GB)
2 x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 [Display adapter] in SLI
Windows 7 Professional (x64) Service Pack 1
adding Seagate Barracuda 1TB Hard Drive
Model ST1000DM003SATA- 6Gb/s- 1TB- 7200rpm- bare drive
Gaming use (BF3) mainly with media/MS Office stuff secondary.
1) Do you think it would be best to use this new drive as C: or main drive? Or to use it as storage and keep C: as is?
2) If used as main drive, are there issues installing Win7 on it and already having a Win7 install on another hard drive?
3) suggested improvements for video card upgrade.

am trying to do a backup of my Win 7 system drive (C, but the backup utility is saying that it must backup by non-system drives (E: and H, which happen to have "System Volume Information" folders on them. They are not system drives. E: is my main utilities drive and H: is my games drive.Somehow, Windows thinks they are system drives, when in reality they aren't.Any ideas on how to change them? When I go in to Disk Management, they are not showing as system drives. They are all partitions on the same hard drive, but there are other partitions not included in the backup.

I have a Toshiba Satellite L505-S6946 running on Windows 7. None of the system volumes are on mute, the speakers properties lie and say it's working properly, I've already reinstalled device driver software, and restored Windows to an earlier date...though, no dice. I'm not totally sure what my other options are..

i have this problem whereby whenever i resume the computer from sleep, the dvd drive disappear from "my computer" and device manager. It could not be detected as well. All the hard disks were detected.
The only way was to restart the computer.
The dvd drive is connected via the IDE cable to the mobo , using the Jmicron IDE/Raid chipset.
may i know if there is any remedy to this ?

I have a three yr old hp Pavillion desktop. HD has totally conked out. Was going to just get a new one, but was wondering about the feasibility, and ease, of just replacing the HD. What am I letting myself In for ?
It looks like it will cost me around $ 100 to buy a new drive, so it will be a pricey experiment if it does not work out. Lost a lot of the paperwork, so am not fully sure as to what,is in it now. I looked inside, and apparently it is a Seagate 1 TB drive. 7200 rpm. SATA, 3 GB/sec
Has the dimensions of approx. width of 4 inches and depth of 6 inches. Is this what is called a 3-1/2 inch drive ? So, what do you think ? Worth a try ?
Will the electronics in this 3 yr old pc support a new hd with its built in new electronics O.K. ?
If I decide to try just replacing the drive, what should I buy ? What should I be aware of In regards to buying a hd for my old pc ? And, do they come pre-formatted ? If not how is this handled ?
Are there still master-slave jumpers that need to be set on the new hd ? After installation, do,I just run the "Restore" disk set of 3 disks to get Windows 7 on it again ? Do these restore disks that I created when I first got the pc have Windows 7 already on it ?
Not all that sharp with this stuff, but am a retired Engr., so reasonably comfortable with this kind of thing. Still, I would not really want to dump $100 if there are lots of potential pitfalls and caveats I am not considering.

I have 3 internal hard drives and am trying to add a 4th. The ones that I have are a 1TB (Boot), a 2TB MBR, and a 3TB MBR. When I try to install the 2nd 3TB one and go into Disk Management to create the partitions, it only shows this 4th HD as being 746.52GB! In fact, I have already returned one to the store thinking there was something wrong with the drive but obviously it was not

I had a 2 TB, and 3TB Seagate Go HDs and decided they would be best used as internal drives, turns out they both crashed completely upon SATA connection in the motherboard, I first guessed probably due to the difference in boot record. Upon reformatting in NTFS, I have found that the drives run very sluggish, I have been debating on just buying a new USB drive and copying my files, then getting rid of these 2 HDs. This doesn't make sense to me as I used to think all HDs were the same, does anyone know any reason why these 2 external drives are killing my system performance after they were made into internal drives (also why would they completely crash before).

After numerous attempts, Windows install keeps stalling at the "expanding Window's files" screen, then cancels the install. (Bios checks ok, disk has no scratches, and both DVD writers return the same results.)To help prove the integrity of the SSD (still under warranty) I would like to now try doing a temp OS install on another internal HDD. There are 2 of those, each with data on them. Each HDD has only one large partition, as in drive D & drive R.What is the detailed procedure in preparing one of those HDDs in order to accept a temporary OS install, while still preserving the existing data on that physical disk? I must also be able to identify which disk is which (new partition?) when it comes to finding the "new" disk when loading the Windows 7 install software?

I need to force media player to use the internally stored album art and not use the folder.jpg file. For the way I have my music organized, I keep more than one album in a folder and WMP ends up with the wrong album art.

I was using windows 7 fine, then I came back home today, booted up and put on my headphones and realized I could hear (and can as I type) my fingers typing and every noise that passes over the mic on my laptop.
I have no idea what has caused this, and I can't seem to get it to go away.
And I just tested it now and the mic is also playing through my speakers.
