 Posted: Mon May 07, 2007 3:40 pm Post subject: External USB Harddrive Fails in Disk Manager -> Removable St |
 |
|
I have installed a USB 2 PCI card in a IBM Netfinity3000 PIII server
running Win 2000 Server SP4. All works fine in that regard according
to device manager.
I have then tried to connect a 250Gb External USB drive formatted to
NTFS under WinXP (ie NTFS 5.1)as far as I have read that should also
be ok with Windows 2000.
When I attach the drive it spins up for a short while, but it never
shows up as a drive under windows. I then looked in Control Panel -->
Administrative Tools --> Computer Management --> Disk Manager -->
Removeable Storage and the drive is listed there twice with a red
cross in both instances.
Once as Twin MOS Mobile Disk USB device. When I click on the disk icon
for this entry I get a state of "Not Present, Dismountable".
Secondly it is listed as TS128MJFLASHA USB Device. When I click on the
disk icon for this entry I get a state of "Not Present, Empty".
I don't seem to be able to find much info on this or others with
similar problems. So far I have only found a reference to people with
tape drives having this problem, but this is an external USB disk.
Any help at all would be appreciated.
Cheers,

Lucky you. Mycomputer doesn't even show the external drive. So I'm
still stuck without being able to retrieve my data from a perfectly
good drive.
