Problem with generic drivers for USB in Windows 2008 R2.
Posted on 2013-12-19
Hi.
I got the server after different support company. After few weeks of fighting I resolved most of the issues. I had problem with ISS and graphic drivers.
However I am stuck with one. I am not able to connect external USB hard drive. I tried a few solution without success.
I have attached some screenshots.

the system always gives a sound (like ping) when you connect any USB device
for usb external drives, you may not have enough power; (usb delivers 5V at 0.5 A= 2.5 W MAX) - so try with a POWERED USB hub
you can choose one from : http://usb-hub-review.toptenreviews.com/

i see you have an unknown device in device manager - is that the usb drive you connected?
remove it to see if it goes away; if not try loading it's driver with the methods below
if you have unknown devices in device manager, you can use this procedure to identify them :
1-visit the motherboard manufacturers support site, for downloading drivers
2- use windows update >optional updates to find them
3-Start>Programs>Accessori
Now select "Components" and highlight "Problem Devices".
All hardware devices with a driver problem will be listed here.
Make a note of the first line of the PNP Device ID line of the entry. It will show a Vendor number and a Device number (VENxxxxDEVxxxx) both four digits long.
Look up those numbers here: http://www.pcidatabase.com/index.php
This will tell you the manufacturer and the chip number.
Check the manufacturer's website first or google them - or post them here
If your LAN is running, you can also use windows update> optional drivers, or use slimdrivers : https://www.slimwareutilities.com/slimdrivers.php
