Status
Not open for further replies.
having issues with USB and internal SATA drives and USB,
I have 4 sata drives, but only 2 are showing.
At first all 4 were showing but than windows tried automatically installing some driver and now 2 drives disappeared!!
Also under device manager there are about 30 items as 'unknown device' under 'other devices' and under 'universal serial bus controller' about 15 items.
I went and uninstalled all unknown devices one by one and under Jan install all except except 'usb host controllers" , restarted windows and all these are back now I'm devices manager...

So I have mouse working thru ps/2 port.
But USB keyboard isn't working,
None of the USB devices are working,
And just 2 out of 4 sata drives show up.

please help how to make all SATS drives to show and USB to work.
 
my first priority right now is to get all 4 internal SATA drives to show up.


I have 4 sata drives, but only 1 is showing now after re0installing drivers trying to make them show.
At first all 4 were showing but than windows tried automatically installing some driver and now 2 drives disappeared!!
and after I re-installed drivers only main system drive is showing.
Also under device manager there are about 30 items as 'unknown device' under 'other devices' and under 'universal serial bus controller' about 15 items.
I went and uninstalled all unknown devices one by one and under Jan install all except except 'usb host controllers" , restarted windows and all these are back now I'm devices manager...

But USB keyboard isn't working,
None of the USB drives are working,

I did power cycle already like 6 times... no luck


many "unknown" devices have yellow tangles.

also I cant restore to previous windows, about 2 moths ago had a nasty virus and messed up and disabled my system restore

the SATA drives are all internal not external USB

after rebooting, windows automatically does some driver install or something and 2 of the drives disappear..

Also uninstalled all "unknown devices" one by one and all USB drivers one device manager.

Rebooted, still same issue.

How come I can't uninstall all USB and internal storage drivers and just reinstall them ?
Why is all this happening ?

When right clicking on unknown devices or devices with triangle, it shows
Driver provider: unknown,
Device type: other devices,
Manufacturer: unknown,

Only under details there are lots of hardware IDs:

ACPI\PNP0700,
