Windows 7 pro fresh install. Tuesday, August 10, PM. Friday, August 13, PM. I was having the same problems with my acomdata PureDrive. I tried a couple different things. First I followed the procedure above that Lionel provided, but that didn't work for me. Next I went to Disk Management. I couldn't see the drive in the top window pane, but in the bottom pane I could see a drive that was blank it appeared as a Dynamic Drive.
After moving all the files from the external drive to my desktop I right-clicked on the blank drive in the lower pane and chose "Make basic drive", then I right-clicked on it again and chose "Format" and it finally appeared. I am assuming it should be a NTFS drive.
Monday, August 16, PM. I'm having the same problem, too. Looking for the solution but haven't found one yet. Does anyone know how to fix this? Wednesday, August 18, AM. I wanted to copy stuff from the old 'puter hard dive so I used an external drive patch cord. Then I remembered having the same sort of problem on a Red Hat system with a flashdrive.
I used a shorter USB cable and there was the drive! Everything worked OK and I was able to copy over my old files. Sounds simplistic but you might give it a try. Sunday, August 29, PM.

Monday, August 8, AM. Wednesday, August 10, AM. Dyck I have currently come across the issue that was resolved with this method. I have a Manhattan 2. A friend has a device that can check the health of hard drives, and we were able to determine that the actual drive is still good. When I upgraded to Windows 7, though, my hard drive is no longer recognized by windows. It makes the sound showing that it notices when the enclosure is plugged in, but it does not show the drive in computer or any other listing.
I've tried this method in an attempt to fix this issue, but was unsuccessful. Any idea how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Wednesday, August 10, PM. Monday, August 15, PM. This worked, thanks a million!

Other USB devices works fine, joysticks, printers etc. When plugged in, they do not show in My Computer, checking Device manager, they do show up, however with a yellow triangle.
I try updating drivers and troubleshoot, but nothing changes. I check in Control Panel - Device and Printers, and it is showing there under Devices, and status it is working properly. But as mentioned before I can not access the device. I than checked in Disk management, and I can find the Device in Disk 6, does not have any driver letter attached to it.
If I Right Click, and choose the option to change Drive Letter and Path, I get an error message, which reads: The operation failed to complete because the Disk Management console view is not up-to-date. Refresh the view by using the refresh task. If the problem persists close the Disk Management console, then restart Disk Management or restart the computer.
Check the System Event Log for more information on the error. No options in the Blue Box area is working, if I click in the Disk 6 Box, it allows me to see the properties, and confirms all is working fine.
But will not allow me to make any changes to the drives letters. Now this happens on my factory Win 7 desktop, if I plug the same device in to my laptop it works fine, no issues at all. The issue is that this is a problem with any external hard drive I connect to my desktop, with very few exceptions.
Please anybody any advice to resolve this problem? Edited by tigermagichjohn Friday, March 9, PM update. She enjoys providing solutions to computer problems and loves exploring new technologies.
