New USB HD Unknown Device problem
Hi Guys
Have read through a lot of post, I have similar problem with several threads but I'm more confused now.
I have 3 External HD and one Semi-External (backup unit HP). None of them works through USB ports (none of my 4 ports).
Not even the four different Mem sticks I have tried works.
W7 says unknown devices.
1. I have tried all ports.
2. I have tried on Vista and XP on other machines (no problems).
3. I have had these units working on this hardware before (in vista).
4. I have the latest of everything as it seems.. (I think).
5. I have reinstalled with them plugged in and not like 4 times..
6. I have tried several updates and even tried with old USB drivers..
7. I found a writing on a 4 step check and did that to (power management, uninstall, checking power etc.. )
What the H...
My keyboard works (W-less).. My Camera works.. ? on all ports..
Any one has similar problems ?
This is driving me crazy ..

HP Pavilion d4492.se
Motherboard:
Motherboard manufacturer's name: ASUS P5LP-LE
HP/Compaq name: Emery-UL8E
All the ports worked in vista and XP ?
so I do not understand .. I have thought of things like "broken" but it does not make sense when keyboard and camera works.. and the disks work on other HW and OS.. also the USB memory stick thing ?
Then it’s also strange about the semi-external disk (I do not know what its called but its a disk in a disk bay or something).. that one is internally connected directly to the main board with some strange cables..
That one is also "unknown" ..
I have followed several threads here, and I'm sorry if I have tried to be in several threads at the same time..
This seems to be a problem different to the others it seems.
ps.
Thanx SQUONKSC to straitening that out for me.. Sorry I’m getting desperate..
Best Regards,
Harry
