Harlynn Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Hello everyone, I Have Win 7 Ultimate N in my PC. Yesterday I bought a an External hard WD SES 250 GB. When I plug onto computer then an error occurred and my disk cannot work properly. I update drivers then an yellow icon occurred on my drive in PC. Now what can I do? Can anybody help me out? Thanks in advance.
synaesthesia Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 I've found those drives particularly touch and go with any PC - but for some reason more so with those using 7 or Vista. No idea if there was an easy fix, as I found it better to find another drive. Have you tried using a double ended USB cable?
m25man Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Try cleaning out the PNP entries from the registry, HKEY_Local_Machine\System\Mounted_Devices You can delete all entries except the current system drive \Dos_Device\C: Then restart the PC wait for all drives and memory card slots to be detected restarting again if prompted. Plug in the external disk last... Hope for the best....
jedmondson Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 or make sure the port is a usb2 one? as my little 250gb drive dosent work if its not either a powered or usb2.
