Solve : Drives not showing under My Computer? |

Answer» Quote from: mopy on December 05, 2007, 11:39:59 PM I can not see in the BIOS "internal USB connectors are enabled" Or any thing simular. That's ok. Not all of them have the option of enabling or disabling them. Most motherboard's (not all, but most) have two USB headers, try the other one if you have one. Have you checked the motherboard drivers YET? Like I said before, Windows may not see the USB headers without them. This may not be the PROBLEM, but it's a possibility to look into. Speaking of which, what is the MODEL of the motherboard? I'd like to look it up. Forgive my ignorance but were would I find the mother board driver,I have looked in the device manager and found >system devices>motherboard resources. There are two of these and they SAY "No drivers are installed for this device". There is all so Human interface devices don't know what these are. Mopy.Ah, maybe we're on the right track here. Let's see if we can find some drivers to fit those devices. Next, we'll need to know either: 1) The make and model number of the computer (if it's a pre-built system like HP, Dell, etc.) -OR- 2) The make and model of the motherboard (if it's a custom built system) Human Interface Devices (also called HIDs) are exactly what they say they are. Devices that allow the user to interact with a computer (keyboard, mouse, etc.). These are normal, especially if you don't have specific drivers installed for an HID device. For example, my Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 just shows up as "USB Human Interface Device" and "HID-compliant consumer control device" because I haven't been bothered to install Microsoft's Intellipoint software. As long as those HID devices are working correctly (it will say "This device is working properly.") then I wouldn't worry about them.The puter is from Evesham AX1183000432-KIT Serial No. WO01105987 Motherboard MISI Micro Star MS-7025 There do not apear to be a spare soc. header. Hope this helps Mopy.For USB device not showing under My Computer, try the following link: http://helpdesk.centre.edu/view.php?type=doc&id=56 Or if you prefer unintelligable geek speak: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;297694This did not help It only lists Drive 0 my hard drive and one of my optical drives. Thanks any way Mopy. http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloadindex Go here and try to use MSI's Live Update Online feature.Installed all but no change. Mopy.A similiar issue in the following thread was resolved by refreshing the USB driver stack from within "Safe Mode": http://forum.videohelp.com/topic341615.html Specific instructions for this are here: http://www.usbman.com/Troubleshooter%20General.htm The above link was within subsection " Cleanup the Device Manager / Windows Safe Mode" from a general guide for troubleshooting USB issues: http://www.usbman.com/Guides/Cleanup%20Device%20Manager%20Safe%20Mode.htmGave this a go but no joy. I Thought this was going to be a simple thing to put right but it was not to be, The fault causes little problem as I can run my SD card with A reader in the USB. Thanks every one for your input but the thread stops here. Thanks Mopy.Merry Christmas to all. I just thought I would let you know that I have fixed the problem by switching the usb header for the front usb socket. Now every thing is working just fine don't know why this should be?. But I'm happy. Thanks MopyThank you for posting back |
