The Dreaded: Unrecognized USB device...
Okay everyone im going absolutely crazy here and feeling like maybe i should have bought a MAC even though I hate them but I can't believe one of the biggest and most industry supported devices known as a External Harddrive...does not work on Windows 7! Are you kidding me?
Senario:
I own a Western Digital Passport...I also own 4 Computers....3 - Laptops & 1 Desktop...1 of the Laptops & Desktop are running XP...another Laptop is running Vista and the current laptop I'm writing to you on is running Windows 7.
I have been using my Digital Passport for over a year now on every single computer in my household including my work computers successfully. I recently bought a Toshiba F60 Qosmio Laptop w/ Windows 7 and while trying to transfer important files from my other computers though a Western Digital Passport...Windows 7 keeps giving me the Unrecognized USB Device.... Now please I've tried all the different attemps as listed on google including but not limited too...
Unplugging the Power Cable for Time to let the motherboard lose its charge
Unintall and reinstall the drivers
Adjust the Registry Files
You name it ive probably tried it and Im getting sooo frustraded as I didn't spend the money on this laptop for half the user ability....can somone please just help me out and give me a suggestion on what will actually work to get this thing working? I'm ready to return this thing 2 the store....I've been a windows user all my life but im considering a mac which I hate using in the first place.... please help!!!!
