Ok i had an Venus DS3 External HD. USB 2.0 external SATA internally. I---
have a
320 gig WD SATA HD. This set up was working fine till the HD would no
longer
show up. Venus said it is an error with thier case. So i bought a new
External Case. SATA internally USB 2.0 externally. The drive has been
formatted and has around 200 gigs of data from when it was previouslly in
the
other HD case. When i plug it into my laptop it makes the beep for new
device
connected but does not say new device detected. I go to manage, then
device
manager. It shows up under disk device as USB device. Also under USB as
USB
mass Storage. but i can not see it under disk manager or my computer. I
have
ran tweakUI. Update drivers. Unistalled them. my USB is 2.0. rebooted
everything for the last 4 hrs. I plugged it into 2 other laptops same
thing
but it says jb09092 SATA device. and says it is ready to use but we cna
not
see it. I also plugged it into a desktop same thing. I need this data. the
HD
is spinning i can feel it and there are no noises coming from the drive.
Any
ideas?
Microsoft admits this is a problem.
If you do a search on Google you'll find this is common to pleanty of people
and there's various solutions and it's possible none of them will work for
you.
What made sense to me is that Windows gets screwed up when the external
drive is activated and doesn't know what drive letter to assign to it so it
gives it none. What I did is only a partial solution as it will be
recognized when turned on from a cold boot only... Use TweakUI and assign
your external drive a letter way down the alphabet. If you have partitions
on it assign them a letter also.
