Windows 7 Media Center - USB drive


Recommended Posts

Hi

Just upgraded my Media Center from Vista to Windows 7. In Vista Media Center i would get a pop up notification with various choices when i plugged in a usb drive with video-files on it and the drive would show up in the "Videos" section of Media Center. However this notification doesn't show up i Windows 7 Media Center or in the "Videos" section.

- When i'm on the desktop and connect the drive i get the "What do you want to do" pop up

- I have checked the "Control Panel" "Notifications" and everything is set as it should be

- I can add the drive to the media library in Media Center and it will show up, but when i unplug it and then plug it in again it's gone again

Anybody else have this problem or might be able suggest a solution?

Thanks so much in advance

Best regards

Yeah that happens to me as well, so I don't think the issue is isolated to your PC.

If you find a solution, or if anyone else has a solution please let us know. :)

    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal by Sayan Sen SSDs and GPUs are incredibly hard to get nowadays due to high pricing. Discounts are quite rare which is why we report on them as soon as we spot a good deal. For example AMD's new 9070 GRE was finally up for sale at a very good price of just $500 thanks to a special coupon. Sadly that deal is gone but if you happen to be looking for a 4TB NVMe SSD and can spend around $400 there is a really good offer on sale that you should not miss out on as TeamGroup's 4TB G50 model is on sale for that that price which means you are only paying $100 per TB, a very good deal in the current market (purchase link under the specs table down below). The TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 drive and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. Since this is a 4TB drive you can use it for a gaming library to take advantage of things like DirectStorage. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. Get it at the link below: Team Group T-FORCE G50 4TB Internal SSD (TM8FFE004T0C129): $449.99 + $50 off w/ promo code SSF69668, limited offer => $39.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.
    • Macbook Air is an appealing option, as are plethora of Windows devices with various different CPU's
