Hi All,

I am using My passport ultra 1TB harddisk from last more than 1.5 years in my Ubuntu Machin.

after purchasing the same changes(In properties options of Harddisk) some setting to it and that was Readable in my laptop only.

yesterday I take the backup from my file and change my operating system to Window 7 64 bit. Lenovo thinkpad

and now when I am connecting my Harddisk to it , it is not readable in it.  I checked the same to many laptop of my collouges but it is not readable. Today when I tried to checked it in another person HP machine window 7 64 bit  it was readable.

Could any body assist me , how it will be readable in my laptop or what I need to install exactly.

I troubleshoot from myself and getting error "Error “Windows Cannot load device driver code 31”

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Rajender

Hello,

It is possible the partition is corrupted.

Try formatting the drive.

I have a  similar problem.  WD My Passport Ultra 1TB.  It works okay on a XP SP3 desktop and a Win 7 64 bit Ultimate desktop but not on a Dell N5050 laptop with Win 7 64 bit Ultimate.  It does not show up in Device Manager. I checked the USB drivers an Win 7 says they are current.
