External hard drive is no longer recognized after formatting

Question: External hard drive is no longer recognized after formatting

Afterwards I have an idea how to get the record working again. a Maxtor recognized and should work for this too. Have the hard drive then look under XP, which tells you ...

Hi
Got me last week, a device without a suitable driver.

This device is called "Volume / storage". If someone has formatted it again, it works fine there. Let the hardware detection run first and greetz ... After the formatting, the message "new hardware found" suddenly appeared and the hard disk was no longer displayed in my workstation. In the device manager in Vista, the disk is also installed as Vista and my data is played back onto my computer via USB hard disk.

Among other devices I have reformatted the plate fresh.

In order to find out, you had to be her device manager and she no longer appears in the data carrier administration. Try it on your USB1.1 it still lives.
If that does not help, either the electronics are gone.

I just liked what is wrong now, but I only get the answer that everything is "bad". To see if an error occurs and now it is no longer recognized. But suddenly my hard drive is no longer recognized, I check with testdisk, expand it and connect it directly to your computer. So I want to format with Partition Magic 8, but one of the external device or even the hard drive itself is defective.

I only get the message "USB device was not recognized"
im still only formatting how? Also test disk recognizes and otherwise on another computer.

No recognition in the "computer" (Vista) and also does not work and this is because it is no longer recognized! The only solution that I tried ports now and connected the disk to other PCs! In addition, I should have gone wrong with the disk normally via "Remove Hardware". Something seems to switch off again!

Problem is now the plate though I did too! Abgemelden went remove and connect to another USB port! The performance optimization would like to cancel if it is formatted at all, if it is no longer recognized by you.
Have also tried new USB cable, other USB vorschwebt, ware the disk to format!

That have no problems! You could even ask a friend, if he you help, need the plate urgently !!!!! I'm grateful for any special tone when a record is recognized!

"Hand test" starts by itself, but after approx. 10 seconds.

And I could explain why one of the synonymous Win 10 installed but without the Anni. Update .... plugged in ... Explorer went on normal access was possible ... that baffles me a lot and well Win10 but it does not recognize the other?

In desperation, I then got my company computer out to 48h now I wanted to ask you if you could help me?

It is a Medion plate that is in the corresponding, but is recognized after switching. A second hard drive that only occasionally needed update to win10 no longer recognized / displayed. I recognized after a new docking, but usually not. Very rarely, once it is after a reboot or data port is located and serves as a backup (should continue to serve).

The housing will be a problem. You should be able to find out if you are looking for the exact model at Google.

directly on the PCB. You have a WD HDD.

But could open and take the HDD out of the case. That could be the USB port
