Every time I plug this thing in, regardless of what harddrive I use, it says "unrecognized USB device" on this system; however, the device works on other win 7 systems. Why does this PC hate my SATA-to-HDD? I need to offload some files before my harddrive explodes.
Device info: Sabrent USB-DSC9
May help?
Trying to get the "mass storage usb device" driver to apply to this device by manual override. If there's a way to do that, please post it?
What actually happens
On the other system, most of the HDD's load as "removable device" with no data. One harddrive works properly. When I plug the properly-working device into this machine (ProBook 6550b), I get a "Removable Disk" with no data. The other two HDD's on this machine give me a "Unrecognized USB device" error. One of the two HDD's that work on neither machine, showing no data, works internally on my tower.
Very poor workaround
Use a thumb drive, external hdd, or phone to move files off of the afflicted PC and onto the external hdd as the external hdd is plugged in to another machine.
