I want to back up that 500 gig hard drive in my server with an external drive. I plug a drive in that I got on loan and it says “Won’t recognize USB device”. I thought it might be a drive issue so I plugged in the hard drive w/ enclosure that I bought and I get the same thing. I have made sure that the jumper setting is set to master on the external hard drive. I have used this Hard drive and enclosure on a running machine elsewhere.
I uninstall the driver from device manager and let it reinstall software automatically and nothing. Properties show the device is enabled and working properly but it is Unknown Device.
I tried the two different drives on my main machine running Vista and also on my server running Windows Home Server. I have tried different USB ports on and off the main boards on both machines. I have plugged a thumb drive into these ports to make sure the USB ports are working properly and everything is good.
Any suggestions? |
