Rather doing a driver hunt which can take hours


http://download.cnet.com/slimdrivers-free/3000-18513_4-75279940.html

it might take some time being a freeware driver solution

note: it will find all of your outdated drivers

this is a free driver solutions

this will automatically search for and find the correct driver

you will have to update every driver individually once you update you

might be asked whether you want to restart or make a system restore point click no to both of these then continue updating each driver free then restart once all of the drivers have been updated


also at cnet
http://download.cnet.com/2000-20_4.html
on the home page you should see a search tab just type in what you are looking for

IE: motherboard name sound drivers

you might have to try a few times to get it right

SOURCE: I have external HDD LG

If the port is ok ie you can see and use other devices then you should check out the external drive on another computer to see if it isn't the problem. Usually what happens is the usb interface on the enclosure goes bad and the computer will either not detect it or it won;t access it. The drive inside the case is a standard drive type so the fix is simply to take the drive out and put it into a new enclosure. You can buy these for $10 and up. The hard part about switching is usually getting the old enclosure apart. The drive is held in by 2-4 screws. Some computer shops will charge and some wont if you buy the enclosure form them. It is something you can do yourself and there are videos and pictorial instructions online to show how this works.
Only once have I ever heard of a actual back drive, it is always a usb interface issue that is the actual problem.

Not booting ISO image

An ISO image needs to be burned to disk; you cannot boot from the image itself. A free program that can burn the image to a working file is called CDBurnerXP. It will burn CDs and DVDs.

Upgraded from windows 7 to windows 8 ,now storage device not showing.

Have you tried to shut down the computer, unplug the usd external drive, reboot the computer, plug in the USB external HDD the should apply the driver. That said, Have you tried a Thumb Drive or any other USB device in the USB ports? It's a common problem when upgrading a OS that Hardware issues popup. Open the Device Manager, Is your USB controller working? Enabled? Any other devices in error? Unknown devices? Use the Win 7 drivers for your computer found on the computer manufacturer's website. Change the compatibility on the driver for Win 8.
