 |
|
Hello:
I have a Gateway Intel Pentium 4, 1600 Mhz computer with 512mb of
memory running Windows XP Service Pack 2. I just bought a Western
Ditigal Premium edition 250 gb external drive. It should be a plug
and play device, but my computer won't recognize it. I have gone to
the WD site and downloaded software, but no luck. It says I don't
need drivers.
Any idea why my computer won't recognize it?

Can you try the firewire interface ?
Can be something as basic as a scr**ed USB stack.
You could try deleting all the USB controllers in the Device Manager
and rebooting and see if that allows the drive to be seen. |

Why go from one slow and obsolete interface to another when the drive is
clearly dead and should be returned?

TOTAL NONSENSE! It's a bad drive. Simply get a replacement.

Why, that's like you changing your corncob before all the turpentine has
done its work. Since you already know, I'm not even going to mention that
he wouldn't have any of these problems if he were using SCSI.

To see if there is a problem with the drive or just the USB, *** child.

Likely a hardware problem: The drive, the enclosure, the cable or
the USB port on the computer's side.
Unless its the last case, you need to return it.

The USB has already been deemed working properly as he determined this from
the proper operation of all his other USB peripherals, fool.

It's been determined prior to you posting your utterly clueless bullshit,
fool.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you have
never ever had a *** clue about anything at all, ever.
If the USB stack is scr**ed, that can and does affect just one drive.

LOL! And you scratch your *** at night in total bewilderment after you pull
the corncob out and wonder why you are so clueless. Jeez, get out and get
some hands on experience with things other than cobbing and come back in
here once you learn the basics.
