Don't know what to do now.Īlthough sometimes, I know that the OS is not able to recognize the external USB device, because the device external USB (HDD) consumes more energy than the 500mA. I have downloaded all windows xp service pack updates and updated my bios. I tried the external hard drive on a desktop pc and it works fine. The usb ports recognized of other fine features (a modem and memory stick)

The green light so there is power to the hard drive. When I connect it to my usb port it records any with the computer. I have receently bought a usb external hard drive for some extra memory (IE Toshiba MK4026GAX USB Device) Satellite 1800-712 does not recognize my USB external HARD drive I'm not sure on this subject, but maybe you have to format it.Īre there issues listed in the Device Manager? Where can I find the instructions to initialize if it's compatible? I tried to copy a file and I got a message saying that the disk is not editable. I made it and I see it on my desktop with a folder called System Volume Information and 2.32 GB available.

USB is convenient but firewire and eSATA are faster and faster.Ģ50 GB USB external hard drive is compatible with Mac OS x on an iBook G4? Supported playback mode tend to transfer bog down over time, as the fragmentation of the file. You are looking at maximum read anywhere between 25 and 32MBs speed if the CPU is not do much else at the time. Speed on USB hard drives is relatively slow at first. Is it a question of W7/USB? Any other ideas would be useful. I left a similar post on the WD website, which so far had no response.
#Wd my book external drive doesnt recognize movie
My only job is about from the drive to copy the movie on my laptop and play it from there - which kind of defeated the purpose. Also there never was problems with the device was detected or is not accessible - gal just access the device. I see a lot of people in this forum have problems with W7 64 bit, but there is no mention of 32-bit issues. Videos are not damaged (I can play my portable hard drive very well), the device signals healthy in the WD diagnostic tool and the firmare for the device is up to date (on the WD site). After about a minute the video started playing at double speed, befire the entire process repeats itself until it catches up with the sound and the video will play very well for about 10 minutes. Finally, video begins to play but jumps several images at once, even if the sound is fine. The video load but Windows Media Watch does not respond and the hourglass (or a circle in W7) shows the application as it is busy.

Durning his time my pc performace Marc everything stop. When I access the drive to play an Explorer of W7 film shows my folder & first screen load files instantly, but then the green progress under the full path bar direcory slowly starts to move across the screen and may take up to 3 minutes to stop. I have a 1 TB WD My Book USB external hard drive connected via USB. I have W7 Professional (32 bit) installed on an Acer Ferrari 5000 with 4 GB of RAM. You have a trick to help me solve the problem. I tried the Microsoft Mr.Fixit running without correcting the problem. In Device Manager the defective WD My Book 1230 appears under the category "other devices."

I tried to plug the WD My Book 1230 on all existing 7 port USB of the PC and the situation still exist.
