Please get Hirens Boot CD. Or better Google Hiren and go to the web page, he has a small utility called USB Format. It is about 150 kb. After downloading it run it as Administrator.
I have not been able to get the root of this complaint. I am supposing that it is nonrecognition of a USB device. If this is , correct , try this. Go to Control panel and type in Troubleshooter into search box. Under HARDWARE & SOUND, click CONFIGURE A DEVICE. You might to do this a couple of times. I had this problem for three weeks with my external hard drive. It was being recognized by Windows 8 and Ubuntu, but W7 could not recognize it because it was disabled(Virus?).
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by paulabdeel(m): 11:47pm On May 07, 2013
Sorry, I didn't make things clear. The first part of the post deals with formatting a USb. The second part deals with situations where a drive or USB is not recognized by W7.

Run a system restore or repair your existing windows operating system.

But wait . I hope you have never used any partition software because they are notorious for deleting or corrupting mbr or partition table on an harddisk which is normally rectified by either formatting the hard disk.


Go through this steps and lets see what would happen

Open command prompt and type chkdsk followed by the enter key.

dude,assess the conversation and derive the info..
how can you say partition softwares are notorious?its either you dont know how to use it or it dint give you your desired results
2.you ever told you that formatting a hard drive normally rectifies the problem-WRONG!
sebi na hard drive wey computer see,it go format(ie you can only format a detected drive).formatting is always the last option and in this case,its not an option because he wouldnt even make it to that formatting aspect..

Philcool: Sorry, the sreenshot I was trying to post was the notice that came up when I was analysing the partitioned disk at the Disk view console. Av just attached now.
The problem is that one of my partitioned disks does not display on windows explorer including its contents again. I can not assess it anymore. I only see it at Disk view console but it is not showing the way the other partitioned part (the windows booting partition). How do I get it back so I can see it displaying as a drive again and displaying its contents as usual in windows explorer. I hope I am clearer, Sameolg616.
forgive my late response..i couldnt deduce so much fromyour screenshot...to be frank,system restore would not help as a colleague earlier advised...your MBR(master boot record) or partition table appears to be damage..its simply not anyone here would be able to analyze properly unless they see it.
here is a simple self test:
goto CONTROL PANEL
-click on SYSTEM
-click on HARDWARE
-click on DEVICE MANAGER
--find DISK DRIVES in the tree and collapse it(ie click on the +)
-you will find the name of the drive there
-right-click on it and chose PROPERTIES
-click on VOLUMES
click on POPULATE and wait..
let me know the message the system returns...call me on 08061679732 for quick response..post screenshots

Wait...you are always here to debunk what i have to say.

I will learn to ignore you seriously I thought it was normal before but its kind of an obsession now.If you can't

comprehend English Language easily maybe you go up.

I feel i shouldn't respond to you. But you seem to be the over sabi type and I need to place you where you belong.

I guess i should help you comprehend what i wrote up there since you are finding it difficult..

When i say "I hope you have never used any partition software because they are notorious for deleting or corrupting partition table on an hdd".==== You might have sabotage your hdd by the misuse of partition software. Partition softwares or normal softwares are known to be back tested for errors before they release them into the market but most users are guilty of misuse or running them too frequently(without completing each process) and thereby corrupting their partitions. You are advised not to tinker with your partitioning software . So Mr i too know.

What corrupted the harddisk?? The operating system or partition softwares. That's why there's always a stern warning that you back up any data before running most partition softwares or follow the process rigidly so as not to loose your vita files

Apart from that. From experience, most damaged hard disk i have come across from customers are always a result of people using partition softwares. So please, Try and help the users and not attack me again. I am not here fr a competition.

dude,no competition..just corrected your assessment..what corrupted the hard disk?nice question...truthfully,we may never know because he may not even remember.
Notorious,u wrote! you could have simply asked if he used one than to say "partition softwares are notorious"*(u generalised)and i simply thought it was a DUMB and DUMBER reasoning!on your second post,u contradicted yourself with the statement "you might have sabotage your hdd by the misuse of partition software"(correction acknowledged).
now,get this straight-i stand corrected for any statement i make here.in the past,ihave been corrected by deji2009(he taught me to be professional abt giving out win 7 cracks online),zimdrill(those are names of a few great dudes here on nairaland and dont even recall ur name until u showed up here recently)the idea of this forum is to learn collectively and help others within my capacity of my expertise.so dont get it twisted,NO COMPETITION cuz you just dont rank yet..
what i say i do and would do...i do very well(aint bragging cuz i can always back it up)

Or so that's where the problem lies. An old member ?? I have always said the way you think and "most" black Africans think is alike. If you were the one who invented the pc. I guess we should still be stuck in 1960 generation of computers.... I will quit arguing back and forth with you. You can enjoy your day.

I still stand by my word. Most partition problems we see or encounter are notoriously caused by the use of partition softwares.

hey dudes, no need to fight over all this, we are all here to contribute ideas as "no man is an island"...... some partitioning software can actually damage your HDD...i have experienced that before, but surely not all partitioning software!

On mobile presently....but i guess your hp has a touchpad lock

Follow these steps to enable it back.

Enabling the HP Touchpad
1. Press the "On/Off" button beside the touchpad to turn on the touchpad. If your HP laptop does not include an "On/Off" button, press and hold the top right corner of the touchpad for five seconds and then release. A small light turns off and the touchpad icon appears briefly.


2. Click the Windows "Start" menu and click the "Control Panel."

Select the "Device Settings" tab and click "Enable" to enable the touchpad. Click "OK" to save the changes.

A couple of days back I came across an application called my MY USB ONLY in one of the torrent sites. Google it you will find it because it is an old software already in version 7. I will advice you download and install SUPER ANTISPYWARE free version from www.majorgeeks.com. The software will take care of all the malwares and trackers that will enter your system from those sites.
