Usb Hard drives will not work
I have 1 Usb2 WD Passport, 1 Usb3 WD Passports, 1 Ocz Enyo and 1 Super Talent RC 8. Been working great until the issue cropped up about a week ago.
The Usb2 Passport works fine.
The Enyo was working great until it died (internal problem being rma'd) so I won't know until the new one arrives.
The Super Talent and the Usb3 Passport are now having recognition problems. They can be seen by "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media and by Device Manager but they cannot be seen by My Computer or by Disk Management on any of my 3 computers. When this issue first cropped up I had just hooked up one of the new Usb3 Passports. Made a couple backups with no issues. Next day the issue began and I could not resolve it so I rma'd the Passport. At that the others were working until I need to backup some of the family's computers a few days ago. The new Passport had come in so I backed up a couple partitions with no issue until I hooked it to my computer which would not recognize it. Tried the RC8, same thing.
The Usb2 Passport still works. Two days of research and still no solution. Have read numerous postings that Win 7 has USB issues but not sure about that.
Any Suggestions as to what to look for.
