External HDD Error: "USB device not recognized"

Hi!
I have an issue with an LaCie Rikiki external drive. As the title says, I get "USB device not recognized" error in Device manager with "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" status. The drive does not show up in Disk Management either. I have tried different USB cables on different PCs but with the same result.
Thanks in advance!

 

usb device not recognized

too many devices on the same usb hub, 1 usb hub can only give around 150mA to 1 device, but that device can negotiate to get 550mA, but in that case its sucking all the power that the specific USB hub can provide, usualy wifi and bluetooth will suck up 550mA, diabling the hub for more devices

 

USB 3.0 7port hub sometimes not recognized at boot

I have a an externally powered 7-port USB 3.0 hub which normally gets shown in device manager with 2 entries of "USB 3.0 Hub" and device ID #USB\VID_05E3&PID_0612&REV_9226 on the detailed property page.

My Mobo is an MSI H87-G41 PC Mate.

The hub gets its external power from a switchable power outlet, so it gets powered up at the same time as the PC gets its power.

On every other boot my windows 7 pro 64bit doesn't recognize the hub but just lists an "unknown device".

If I unplug the hub and reconnect it, it gets recognized properly again and attached devices like mouse, usb3 hdd, numeric keypad all work properly.

What makes windows sometimes not detecting the device properly and how can I prevent this?
