After plugging in the device. Go to device manager(In run type "devmgmt.msc") In Device manager got to "Universal serial bus controllers" It would list the storage device that you have connected in ur PC. Right click and click "Uninstall. Remove the USB drive and restart ur system. Try connecting the device again, i think this should solve the problem.

The aove should work with all USB mass storage devices. As it removes the drivers from your system. This then forces windows to re-install any mass storage USB device that you connect to the machne.

You must format your pen drive.

1)go to my computer.
2)right click on the pen drive icon.
3)left click on the forrmat option.



remember when you format your pen drive your data inside the pen drive will be lost.

Try browse the device manager, you'll see that there is a device (mass storage or IDE bridge.. or sounds something like that). try to install/upgrade the driver. When it asked the location of the source driver, just type c:/windows/inf and it'll try to complete installing. This will lead you to two options, if the usb mass storage is working fine, you'll get the drivers installed and completed beautifully, but there are some cases that the mass storage device drivers is locked/disabled (code 22). just follow the steps provided by the hardware installation wizard that you are on, it'll do the magic to make the ext hdd working again on your PC.

Some External HDD was preconfigured to run on specific data connection channel, that will give conflicts if it use the same channel as other installed usb devices. CMIIW..
