Vista Home Premium 32 does'nt recognize External Harddisc
When the disc is connected with firewire/usb, the right driver is intalled, but the computer doesn't show the station anywhere. I booted again, the disc is recognized in the bios, but it isn't shown anywhere when the computer started. Who can help me with this problem? Thnx in advance! -- RPvD Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

Hi, I downloaded this program, but it doesn't recognize the disc either. The disc isn't visible in this program. Do you have other options? I couldn't find the diskmgmt.msc in Home Premium. Is this a file that has to be in Vista? Regards, Bert R. C. White;1142290 Wrote: Hi, RPvD. What does Disk Management say about that disk drive? diskmgmt.msc RC -- R. C.

Hi, Bert.
You don't need to download anything - and I wonder what you did download and run. :^{ Disk Management has been built into every Windows version starting with Windows 2000. It is THE tool for managing hard disk drives - and any other device that can be assigned a "drive" letter, such as a USB thumb drive or an SD card reader. As Thomas Wendell said, you can reach it by a series of mouse clicks. Or, as I should have said, simply press the Windows key and type in "diskmgmt.msc" and press Enter. By either path, you'll need to furnish Administrator credentials because, like any other powerful utility, it can do as much harm as good when not used carefully. If the Disk Management screen is not self-explanatory, check its Help file. That Help file is loaded with information about hard disks, but it is organized as a reference, not a tutorial, so we can't just read it like a book. And it covers the entire Microsoft Management Console, of which Disk Management is only a part, so we'll need to use the Index and Contents to focus on just the parts that we need. In the Help file, you might start with a search for "foreign disk" or "add a new disk". (I'm using Win7 and the Help file has been reorganized so now I don't see what you will see.) By the way, you are posting via VistaHeads, which simply relays your message to the Microsoft public newsgroups, hosted on the Microsoft public news server - and then relays any responses back to VistaHeads so that it looks like you are getting help that is not otherwise available. If you'd like to "cut out the middleman" and post directly to this newsgroup, just click he news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...rdware_devices RC -- R. C.
