Pleomax 6gb USB Drive No Longer Recognized by My Computers

If your device drivers are up to date, the USB ports are totally recognized. If the USB device plugged into the port is not initialized, it may not be recognized by the computer operating system. If a USB flash drive was working and no longer works; it could have been damaged when removed from the computer when last used. Flash drives are sensitive to Static Charge. Like when you rub the feet on a carpet and a spark of electricity jumps from a finger to another person. You must use the Eject method when removing Flash Drives.

hi hazel.
see if this link helps you out.
laptop is no longer recognizing the Buffalo External Hard Drive Google...

The likelyhood here is that you have lost your USB ports. Plug another device into the same port. If it works ok, then suspect your connecting cable. If this is without success, try plugging the dive into another computer. If no good either, take your drive to a data recovery shop. They may be able to rescue your data using their special applications.

verify that the USB port is working, you may also try it on another machine to see if it works, you may have a corrupt driver for your usb port. If it works on another machine then uninstall and reinstall updated drivers for your usb ports. I hope this helps, Good luck.

this problem may be for your USB or HDD.

For USB check following: version, if any new windows hotfix installed, if USB port is working.

HDD,

Check if there is any sound in the HDD, no sound is better.
Try to enable USB HDD boot from bios setup and boot with the hdd, check if it recognizes the same

data is lost,
test with H2testW'
fix with PD V1.08 B3

Do you see a message on your system tray when it is plugged in? If you don't see any message, it means that the drive is not being detected. You can't retrieve any data or files on the thumb drive if it is not detected. Things you can try to isolate the problem:

1. Try a different USB port on your computer. Check if your thumb drive will be detected.

2. Try a different USB device like mouse on your USB port. If it is detected, it means that the problem is the thumb drive. If not, it means that the USB port is not working or is disabled.

3. Try the thumb drive on a different computer.

Hope this helps. ;-)
