  1. Hard disk is getting detected occasionally and disconnects in some time.


    My new hard disk was working earlier in my laptop without any issues.


    Now it's not even getting detected in my laptop most of the time. Sometimes its getting detected and disconnects within seconds.

    The hard disk occasionally connects only in USB 2.0 and gets disconnected after a while. In USB 3.0 it connects and disconnects for every second.

    In Device manager my hard disk is not getting listed and i has tried to upgrade my drivers and all my efforts didn't resolve this issue.


    My hard disk is working fine in other laptop.


    Laptop Details

    HP Pavilion notebook

    Intel i5 6200U

    Windows 10 Home - Version 2004


    Hard disk:

    Seagate Backup plus slim USB 3.0 backward compatible with USB2.0


    Please help me resolve this issue. I have tried all the possible solutions which i have found in this community and it didn't workout.

    :)

  2. External Hard disk detect issue

    Hello,

    Let's determine the reason why your Windows 10 stopped detecting your external hard disk. To get started, we'd like to get the following information:

    • Did you make any changes to your computer prior to the issue?
    • Are you getting any error messages?
    • Have you tied connecting the external hard disk to a different computer? If yes, is it working?

    In the meantime, let's run Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter. This troubleshooter automatically detects and resolves problem with hardware and devices. To do so, please follow these steps:

    • Open Control Panel.
    • Select View by: Small icons.
    • Open Troubleshooting.
    • Under Hardware and Sound, run Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions.

    We're looking forward to your response.

  3. USB hard disk is getting disconnected and then reconnected with a high frequency

    I am having a USB hard disk Toshiba this is getting connected and disconnected from the Windows 10 without any human intervention.

    I sit on a table and chair and inserted the USB cable to my HP laptop.

    Now after the hard disk is detected a small sound (some kind of notification sound from Windows plays) so I hear that sound loud.

    I am copying the data and then suddenly after 5 seconds or so I hear same notification sound which comes when hardware is disconnected. Now in middle of some thing I don't do any thing here manually I again hear the same notification sound.

    Like this within a minute I hear this notification sound 10 times or so each 3 seconds it disconnects and then reconnects.

    This laptop hard a VMware workstation working on it so each time this will happen a popup from VMware comes up asking

    you connected a external USB device what you want to do.

    1) Connect to host

    2) Connect to Virtual machine.

    I shutdown all VMs running on this system but this problem did not go and for me it is literally unusable to use this USB hard disk.

    What can I do?
