In order to avoid data recovery failure, you’d better not save anything else on the same drive. So, disconnect this drive to your computer and use a data recovery program to take a chance. However, oppositely, the physically damaged drive often cannot be fixed and the stored data is also gone with the physical drive. The logically damaged drive often can be repaired after re-formatting and the contained data also could be restored with the help of data recovery program. Thanks to all open minded people who shared workarounds and valuable thoughts in this thread.All right! I know the dropped hard drive could be tricky to fix.Īctually, the dropped hard drive is often damaged logically or physically. It definitely easier to put a label "troll" on somebody, that add something valuable to discussion subject, isn't it? But yeah. Not very nice of you to put a label on a new user, just because he found and shared a solution not Fusion-related. I won't do this again (specially that after using trials I choose mentioned competition product). I didn't know that on this forum only Fusion-related solutions are appropriate and welcome. When I found it working I wanted to share with other people having the same problem as me, even if solution is not Fusion-related. So I tried other solutions, not Fusion-related. There is no Fusion solution for this problem, at least as far as I know. So I thought that it is a good place to discuss about this problem in general. But I had a problem, similar to this described in this thread. I started with Fusion, because VM was recognized brand for me. Looking for some VM to run XP staff after migration. I wouldn't be surprised if my hub is usb1.1 only. So I can only suggest to use a USB2.0 hub, in my case that did not work, but I only have a very crappy one here. seems the Windows 8 VM does not even boot with a USB3.0 controller, not even getting a BIOS screen.Ĭhanged the USB controller back to USB2.0 and it does boot fine. unrecognized device as well.īut on Windows 8 it also had a USB2.0 compatible adapter, so I shut down Windows 8, changed the adapter to USB3 and rebooted. same message about not being connected to the most ideal adapter and reconfigure. My USB controller on the virtual machine is already set to USB2, so in theory it should be fine.

Im also wondering if it has anythign to do with the drive being usb 3.0 the cable and manufature says usb 3.0 capatable with usb 2.0 and that it should not matter. How to fix the problem WD My Passport external hard drive greyed out in Mac (Mount and Recover Files). The older computer is a mac book pro using vmware 3.1.5 and the new computer is a macbook pro using the new VMware 5.0.2. im guessing it has to do with VMware fusion because that is the only thing that has changed between computers.

Ive gone over all the drivers for the external drive and its all there but every time I connect it to windows xp the windows xp then produces a error saying usb device not recognized and then the drive changes from a drive to an unknown device under Universial serial buss controllers in device manager. The oddest part is that I have an older computer running VMware Fusion 3.1.5 with windows xp and it runs just fine. I have a WD 1t my passport external HD and it will not show up in windows xp. So ive been on Microsofts forums and support and WD forums and support and this is the last stop to try and fix this problme.
