What does newly imaged mean? Backup and restore to new hardware? What tool was used?

we use ghost here to image laptops after they come in. I have never had an issue finding the USB drive. Other laptops see it right away?

I will check now. That may be it. This is a first for not seeing all drives including USB.

Worked like a charm. Thanks. Great tip.

Why would a newly imaged laptop not find the 3.0 USB memory drive? I have updated all drivers and see no errors in the device manager? I can see the USB drive on other laptops but not the newly imaged laptop and again, there are no signs of errors? This is a Lenovo T450S laptop and no docking station. All updates are also there.

USB recognition

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
