| 1173663 | 2011-01-30 11:03:00 | I cloned my failing HDD to a new HDD - it works fine except that intermittently the front USB ports fail to recognise any USB device is plugged in. I have tried a few USB flash drives, some are recognised randomly and some are not. It was working fine before. It's Win 7 Home Prem OS. I used Acronis 2010 to clone the HDD. May try to use Paragon Drive Copy 10 to 're-clone' the drive. What do you guys suggest? |

| 1173665 | 2011-01-30 11:36:00 | Yeah, may have dislodged the cable when you removed/replaced the HDDs. | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 1173666 | 2011-02-01 06:39:00 | No, cable connections are OK. Fresh clean re-install of Win7 solved the problems. Took hours to reload all the application programs and configuring them. |

| 1173667 | 2011-02-01 07:09:00 | Probably the cloning carried over some corrupted files from the old HDD, may have been quicker to have done a repair install, but never mind, sorted now. :thumbs: | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 1173668 | 2011-02-02 01:11:00 | Sometimes putting a computer into standby can turn off a front USB port. I'm not too sure how to rectify this, but it happens on my Dell Dimension 3100. | mookster1 (15854) | ||
| 1173669 | 2011-02-02 01:25:00 | Go to the USB device in device manager / power management tab. Untick allow the computer to turn off this device off to save power | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
