I have two external USB drives, one independently-powered, one USB-cable-powered, both with NTFS and linux ext2 and ext3 partitions. Under Windows7 both drives show up under Device Manager with the Property: "A driver (service) for this device has been disabled. An alternate driver may be providing this functionality. (Code 32)". None of their partitions show up in "My Computer".
(BTW, the partitions are all good and they are all usable from the linux side of my dualboot system.)
I probably disabled the guilty service(s) myself. To get Windows7 to work reasonably, I disabled all the services I thought I wouldn't need. Which service(s) do I have to look at to get the disks to work again?
The powered disk is a Hitachi HTS545016B9A300 and the unpowered one is the internal disk from my previous laptop, a "Seagate Desktop USB Device," both as reported by the Device Manager.
Thanks much for any assistance.
Craig
