Hi:

When Windows 7 start up. The first thing it does; is to send out a request to your Drive Manager and ask Hey buddy what drives do we have and the drive manager tell it, this what we got Drive C: Drive D : and Drive A ( if got that ( a Floppy disk drive) ). when you connected it to the USB port The USB bus should send a Request to Windows and say we got a New piece of Hardware and windows 7 should send a request to the New hardware asking what are you? and if your new drive has a plug and load program - it send a request to Windows 7 saying I'm a New disk drive and I want to load my drivers ( the interfacing program that enable windows 7 and the New drive to talk to each other) into you and please put my Id in your Disk Manager So I will recognize via my coded input code. And Windows will either say "go ahead" or No, because I don't recognize you HP code however sometime Windows 7 will recognize it - only after you restarted your again with the USB still plug in to it in both your drive and it. than it will recognize your external hard drive. to initialize the drive program

I hope this helps

How to solely operate an external hard drive on Windows 8 laptop.?




Jonathan


I have a cheap little Dell Inspiron 3520 running windows 8 and an external hard drive with windows 7. No matter how I change the boot order in bios it still runs the windows 8 primary drive. There's no way to disable it in bios and I can't physically remove it without going through the effort of unscrewing parts. Is there a program or a different way to disable the default hard drive and run the external only?


Answer
I would go to http://www.microsoft.com/support/windows8 forum or question & answers & you may find your answer there
