Default Win 7 Pro - USB Drive Problem

Several USB 4T drives connected OK.

Adding one more but does not show up.
Ditto for a different 4T so that makes two that will not show up.

Still have many drive letters available.

I get the boing boing when I plug it in.

I feel the drive head moving when I plug it in.

I do not see it in Windows Explorer.

Suggestion please to get this visible.

None use USB power.
All have wall warts.

Go to Disk Management.
They might appear there waiting to have a letter assigned to them.

Try USBTreeView.

Check for a new device appearing in the window,
when the drive is plugged in. A device should
appear, if "endpoints" form as part of the
setup of a new connection.

What happens if you unplug one of the "connected OK ones" and then
plug in one of the non-working ones? I doubt you have enough USP
ports to plug in "several" drives at the same time, so I wonder if
your USB hub is over capacity, or if there's some weird limit in
Windows.
