Please help,
I have just re-formatted this computer once again and put Windows 7 on it again.
Last time I had the exact same build of windows 7.
My Problem is that this time, when I plug in my External HDD (generic driver) It registers, installs the driver, and says it is ready to use, When you open my computer it does not display.
I have been to disk management and It lists the device, when I Right click the device and click a task such as Properties or Change Drive Letter it gives me an error message saying
"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 then close the disk management console, then restart disk management or restart the computer"
As I have already tried these numerous times with No Success, and with a good 5 and a half hours of googling the issue and finding a lot of similar problems, but alas no Solution.
I don't think the problem is in the HDD or cabling itself as it works fine on computers Running XP, Vista, Redhat linux. It displays on the Microsoft Xbox Console and the Sony Playstation 3 Console.
I even suspected it to be a hardware problem, but as the HDD works fine on the same Hardware with simply a different HDD as boot HDD.
Please Help, This is not my main computer but as I Seem to have enjoyed the windows 7 experience I seem to be using it more and more. Anyone with any information to for this problem, no matter how insignificant it may seem, Please reply as at the moment I am out of ideas and any information may help.
PS. This is a bit off the topic but can anybody suggest an anti-virus to use, I previously used avast with success but as avast for reasons that I probably inflicted I would prefer not to use. I Have Tried the New Norton That supposedly supports windows 7 but during starting its processes Causes a blue screen on tdx.sys I tried AVG as I have herd stories about people successfully using it, along with trend micro, but during starting of the processes I get the same blue Screen.
Anyways Thanks in advance
