Stranger yet, when the drive is connected to another Vista PC it shows up instantly. Same thing with a Windows XP machine. It just doesn't work with mine. The Geeks at Best Buy don't have a clue why it's acting this way. Assuming the drive has a formatted partition on it, try a powered hub or an external power supply - many external drives draw too much power for a single USB port. I'm sure your suggested fix would work just fine, unless, like what I've experienced, the external drive does not appear in the "Disk Management" window.
The drive works just fine on both my Dell Dimension desktops, as well as my Compaq laptop; however, when connected to my Dell Inspiron, even with both the Type A connectors in place, the drive light glows bright green, but the computer can't see it. I'm beginning to think Dell laptops are just not made for this sort of application. It will not recognize my external hard drive plugged into any USB port.
That is, the external drive does not appear in My Computer and or on the list of drop-down drives. The external hard drive does work on my Dell series computer really ancient.
The hard drive itself was made at about the same time as the series computer ca. I am not a technie, but can anyone tell me how to get the computer to interface with the external hard drive? Thanks in advance. I am having the same trouble, except that the cpu is new and the external hard drive has a lot of files like my entire music library which I would rather not lose. The device is listed, but I can't find a way to open the drive or to see what files I have listed there to use them.
Is there a way to open the drive without having to reformat and lose everything there? When you say, "the cpu is new," I assume you mean you have a new computer. Would you please tell me the model and operating system of your new computer? When you plug in the external drive, do you see a drive letter for it in My Computer? If you double click that drive letter, do you then see a list of files and folders? Dell Xps Usb Controller Driver.
