• Why import AVCHD properly storing sequences map (SD card) while the same images completely transferred to an external hard drive imports only the video with no audio?

  I shoot on a Sony Alpha a65 and it uses AVCHD when recording. I have not met this problem before.

  I transferred the entire contents of a memory card on my external hard drive.

  I tried to import the images from the hard drive, both using the import media browser-only video clips are imported with NO AUDIO.

  I thought that I had corrupted images as my memory card was images of two different rods. I turned one on 2 October and the other on 15 Oct (approx.).

  HOWEVER: I then tried to import directly from the SD card - and it worked! Audio, video and all.

  I can change this being, of course, but it's a concern I have obviously can't keep the SD card only for this sequence forever - and backup to external hard drive will not audio. That might mean that I won't be able to pick up on it in the future, if necessary.

  Can you help solve this problem – that is, with the film which is not imported correctly from the external hard drive or why something is lost in the transfer - and explain why this happens?

  Please note: I tried marqueeing everything and do drag and drop, as well as select and drag / move, when you transfer the images from the SD card to the external hard drive. I'm using a Lacie Rugged 1 TB (firewire option).

  Maybe there's a hidden system files that are not copied.  You have "View hidden files" enabled and "do not show system files" in the Folder Options disabled?

• Vista guard setting external hard drive read-only...

  The drive is formatted in NTFS and says he's got the A attribute.

  What should I do?

  In most cases, only playback status is defined because there may be no "file locking" when editing and simultaneous removal. I suggest try enabled write caching and testing accessibility in writing files.

  Hello

  Thanks for the update.

  I wish to inform you that it is possible to merge two partitions into one, if both are on the same hard drive.

  You will need to remove one of the partitions and extend the other to include one deleted.

• Hard drive shows only 32 GB

  Hello

  I own as a HP Pavilion dv6830us laptop w / Windows Vista Home Premium bought a few years ago.  The original WD25 - BEVS hard drive has failed.  I bought a WD Scorpio Black 500 GB WD5000BPKT to replace.  Installed the two recovery discs purchased from HP.  Entering Windows after the restoration, a window popped up and said "unrecoverable error" and prompted me to turn off the laptop.  This would happen whenever I rebooted the computer.  Eventually I realized that this was the program file HP installer which has been the cause, so I managed to access msconfig before the message popped up and disable start-up.  Now I find myself with a Windows installation with absolutely no extra software on this subject.

  That said, I was frustrated, but happy to simply reinstall everything.  Then I discovered that Windows displays the hard drive as 32 concerts, with less of a free concert.  I downloaded the update to the BIOS of HP.  Then I downloaded Western Digital Diagnostics software, and under the physical disk box, it recognizes the model and capacity (500 GB).  Under the logical drive box, it shows the file system NFTS, total space 34,37 GB and 1.05 GB of free space.

  I would like to know how to solve this problem, as this whole process took more than 2 months and honestly, it's been a nightmare.  If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be grateful.

  The following Microsoft link should help, please remember when to extend a partition, make sure that you have a backup of all your programs and data first.  There is always the risk that something might fail and with what it is your primary drive, you could lose it all.

  This link is for Win7 but it is very similar to what you would do with Vista:

  The instructions below are in the provided link and the info of what you will need.

  Windows 7 Partitions or Volumes extension

  This section shows that you must extend a Windows volume. To do this, we must open the tool of disk management where we can resize our volumes. The following steps will guide you in this process.

• All external hard drives showing that raw

  Hi all

  Hope you can help. For the last two days none of my 3 external drives have been showing under 'my computer '. They work fine when I attach them to another machine. When I look at my "Device Manager" readers are here and in "computer management" records show as "simple, basic, RAW, healthy (primary partition) but they have"drive letter"like I said they work perfectly when I attach them to other machines."

  Thank you

  If you changed the partition, Windows Vista has been known to reassign letters local drive incorrectly.  Looking through several docs, let's say if plugged in, unplug it and plug it back to Windows to recognize it.

  It is a doc from Windows 7, but it relates as well to Windows Vista

• Transfer data to external hard drive from XP to Vista

  How would I be able to transfer data from a XP hard drive (which is in an external case) on my new laptop with Windows Vista? Please let me know. Thank you very much.

  original title: I have a XP hard drive in an external case, and I would like to transfer the data on Windows Vista.

  There are several options:

  External drive is already connected via USB?  Your new computer sees the old disk when you open Explorer?  Is the drive external HARD in the format identical to the new machine Vista (probably NtfS)?  If this isn't the case, you must first convert the external hard drive to NTFS.  http://technet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb456984.aspx (although written for XP, it works with Vista as well).

  If so, create a new folder on the new disc called 'From Old Computer'. Go to the old drive. Now * COPY * ("hold") the files to the new folder that you created. After getting everything copied on you can turn off the computer and unplugging the old drive to protect its content - where everything is not going according to plan.

  Now you can take your time by placing the files copied, where you want that they finally reside on your new computer.

  If you have problems with 'Access denied', follow these steps on the external drive of the new computer:

  In Explorer, right-click on the drive in question and select Properties

  On the Security tab, click Advanced
  On the owner tab
  Select you realize if it isn't already and
  Check "Replace owner of subcontainers and objects".
  Click OK twice (close all dialog boxes)

  Defines you as the owner of every folder and file on the disk

  In Explorer, right-click on the drive in question and select Properties

  On the Security tab, add your account if it is not already there and set full access
  Click on apply
  Click on advanced
  Check "Replace permission on the child all the objects with...» »
  Click on apply

  If you do not see a Security tab, then turn off Simple file sharing (you may need to do in reconnedcting the count to the old XP machine - I'm not sure that this can be done through the new computer).  To do this, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810881.  The same may be true if the nets and records are password protected (although using a different procedure to remove the password to protenctio similar to what lets you add it iin the first place.)

  If you have problems setting up the permissions or ownership on the disk external drive files and folders, some information here that might help:

  To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

  To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

  If the external hard drive is not USB but IDE instead, here is an article on two methods that work for transfer: http://www.wikihow.com/Transfer-Data-Between-Two-Hard-Drives.

  ==================================================================================================================

  I realide what follows is not what you asked, but if it is still possible, it might be a better solution than moving the data to the external hard drive.

  If the external hard drive has only the data and you want to transfer settings and data (and perhaps even of programs if they are compatible with Vista) from the old XP machine (if it is always present and contains information on the new computer (which is better because it also transfers your program and other parameters (and maybe your programs) as well as the data (or you can ignore the data if it is the same which is))) already on the external drive))), then use the transfer tool.  Here's how: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Migrating-Vista-using-Windows-Easy-Transfer.html#.  This is how I do the trasfer if I had to do it because it makes the implementation of the new computer much easier and faster.

  Here is another article on how to transfer data and settings from an XP machine to a new Vista computer using an external hard drive (although it discusses other methods as well): http://www.digitaltrends.com/how-to/how-to-transfer-your-data-from-xp-to-vista/

  Jere het another article on the use of Transsfer easy to pass data or parameters (and perhaps programs) from a XP computer to a Vista computer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial138.html

  =====================================================================================================================

  I hope this helps.  If you have questions or problems on the way, do not forget to post back and get help.  It is best to do things right the first time.  And even once, I highly recommend using Easy Transfer (although this is not how you setup at the moment) for the transfer to get the new computer up and running much faster and easier.  The decision is yours.

• 3 recycle Bin folders on external HARD drive

  Why doesn't the $RECYCLE. BIN on my external HARD drive show different files when I run Windows 8 and Windows 7?
  I guess that both present the same content, but they do not.

  It is a normal behavior. It is doubtful, you will get an answer as to why.
  To answer your question, no, if you disable the Recycle Bin, the files will be deleted immediately on this drive.

  Creative Memories Photo Manager probably ejected your camera after you import the images. Check the default settings and change them if you prefer something different.

  If your camera is not displayed as ejection, it is safe to remove it. Damage to the file system wouldn't be possible, but not certain, if he had written active file or buffer not released when the device has been deleted.
