usb storage devices not working
my work laptop is running windows 7, when I try to install my external HDD via the usb ports I get the pop up that windows is installing the drivers and that it ready to be used. However in my computer the drive is not listed, when I enable the drive from device manager the drive pops up but it inaccessible, then eventually disappears from my computer. I'm not the administrator on the laptop, but my user account had admin rights. For the 30 seconds the drive stays enabled the properties/security tab says a its unable to display owner.
This is also a problem on thumb drives and SD cards, the machine just can't recognize any external HDD's
any help would be awesome
