All USBs Want to be Formatted
Over Christmas we were given Windows 7 64 bit to update our laptop from windows xp 32 bit. As soon as we installed Windows 7 we started having major problems with our USB devices. Every time I plug in a usb device (iPods, Digital Camera, Videocamera (w/hdd), external hd) windows 7 says their file system isn't recognized and that it needs to reformat them to NTFS. All of these device worked great before. Also, I have an external hard drive that has both a usb and a eSATA. I was having these format problems with the usb but when I switch to using the eSATA everything worked great. I've tried USB drivers, but I'm still getting the errors. I saved all my information on multiple devices (thumb drives and a camera) and then tried to format them but an error message comes up saying that they cannot be reformatted and they still wont work.
PLEASE HELP! My computer still works fine with everything else. But my iPod, iPhone, Cameras, external hard drives, etc. are all useless.
Thanks for your time and thanks for any help that you can provide!
