• How can I transfer my favorites on an external/portable hard drive?

  I know that similar questions had been asked, but the responses I've seen seem to be too techie or does not apply. The bottom line is I lose my cell phone next week and would like to transfer Favorites (and Outlook address book if someone who knows also) on my WD portable hard drive. Thank you!

  If you go to view all bookmarks (Ctrl + Shift + B) or:

  • Bookmarks > show all bookmarks

  There should be an option to "import and backup". You can export your bookmarks to an HTML element and save the file wherever you want. You can then import this file in Firefox on your new laptop computer.

  The synchronization may be a better option, please see:

• I deleted a file from my portable hard drive, can I get it back?

  I deleted a file from my portable hard drive, I need help to get it back?

  First stop using your portable player as your deleted folder is now considered to be unallocated space and can be replaced by new data. This would then make your chances of recovering your file much less likely.

  First check your trash. If it is not there then...

  There are some free and paid for recovery software. Just Google.

  If there are companies that specialize in data recovery. This would be an expenditure of significabt, but would probably be to maximize your chances. It depends on your expertise & how data is important for to know you which way you want to choose.

  One last point if your data is important, be sure to have a backup plan in place. Having your important data in one place requires trouble.

• New external USB 500 GB Portable Hard Drive appearing is not in Windows Vista

  I connected a new 500G portable hard drive to a front USB port on my HP PC (with an AMD Phenom X 4 image processor), under Windows Vista Home Premium. Windows presented a pop saying that the driver has been installed, then he said: USB device installed. The software of the device has been installed successfully and is ready for use.

  However when I looked for the drive in Windows Explorer it wasn't there. I read in this forum, and using the information that I realized that I accessed the computer on my PC management - up it only shows C: drive and D: drive image factory, but below that, when disk 0 is assigned to the C: and D: drives it shows disk 1, unknown, uninitialized. Assuming that it is the car in question, I tried to initialize the disk, but then the error FUNCTION INCORRECTE.

  I don't know what to do at this point. If the player has not been assigned a letter, there seems to be no way to transfer or partition.

  A new drive must be formatted. That is why it is sjowing up as disc 1, unknown, uninitialized.

• Portable: hard drive DST SHORT failed

  My computer won't start and repeatedly goes to a blue screen with a sunburst type above (the mouse pointer still work). I've run the HP tests and get this result:

  "Short DST: FAILURE.

  FAILURE ID: GDSDBX-TLR7RJ-9XL03F-604J03

  I guess that means that my hard drive is irreparable, but can someone confirm this. Also, I will be able to buy another hard drive and use the ERD that I did to reinstall Windows 7? I ask because it was preinstalled on your laptop and came with no disk to reinstall. Only, I was commissioned to do a repair disk.

  Thanks in advance.

• A Portable hard drive operating system compatibility

  I bought a Seagate Expansion Portable hard 3 TB drive and want to transfer the files on my old PC (which uses the operating system WIN XP) on my new PC (which uses the operating system WIN 7). When I connect the camera on my old PC, it is not displayed in "My Computer", but it can be seen under "sensor external hard drive... I followed the suggestion of Seagate to reformat the device in the MBR format but persists above. Is there a way I can connect to my old PC so that I can transfer the data via portable hard drive? Or is there a driver I can install to fix the problem?

  AA

  Did you leave the 1 partition of 3 TB drive?  XP cannot 'see' as large partitions. It can 'see' up to 4 GB.  I would create a second partition 25% larger than the data on the XP machine by reducing the current partition and creating a new.

  The best way to proceed is to use EaseUS partition magic (free)

• portable hard drive of 1 t - can be used without a computer

  I need to a portable hard drive 1 t, as I can up load my pictures from my camera 7 d on the hard drive without using a computer. I don't want the addition of weight/packing space of computer on my church sponsored 2 week trip to Israel.

  Although there are offers available, they usually come to such a price premium you are much better off to find a small tablet or netbook computer that can accommodate a card reader and a USB hard drive external standard.

  These alternatives give you the advantage of being able to download a copy of your photos to the cloud using the wifi at the hotel. This way, if the drive is lost or stollen that you still have a backup of your photos available.

• I want to copy all my jpg files to another directory (a portable hard drive) with some of the same names of JPGs, but not necessarily all. What will happen? The word 'COPY', will be some of the deleted files be added or nothing at all.

  I have a LOT of pictures in my computer (over a thousand) and I want to put them on a portable hard drive, I bought (1 terabyte) but I won't write any of the names of existing files with different images. IS THIS POSSIBLE? Do I need software or special hardware? I tried the copy/paste standard as well as move files to the new directory, but it seems that I can lose files. I'm not sure if the files that are missing (or lack, in my opinion) are not copied. When I finished emptying the directory, it shows that it is empty but the new directory does not seem to have any additional files that should be there based on the counting of the files before and after.

  Thanks for any help you can provide, Bill

  1: right-click and then drag the pix on the external drive. Release the right mouse button and choose copy here. They are there?  Now remove it from the computer.

  2: you can see pix of the same name overwrite each other, or be done with (1), (2), etc.. But even in this case, they will be interspersed with the former. If keep you them in separate folders with different names, that should not happen. Personally, I rename all the pix before storing them. You can select the set instead of the code of the camera and a group, rename the first holiday 2009 yo and the rest will be renamed holiday 2009 and each havf will one (1), (2), (3), after them.

  It is also a nice freeware tool which, among other things, can rename a group of photos easily.

• Portable hard drive does not

  I have Transcend 1 TB portable hard drive for 2 years and for the last few days it does not work in any computer. whenever I plug computer detects the drive but it says: "you must format the disk in drive F until you can use it" and "F: is not accessible. Data error (cycle redundancy check). and when I try to remove it safely it says "Problem eject the storage device" but it works quite well when I plug my SAMSUNG TV .

  We can do the following to see if you can again access your external hard drive:

  • First of all, you can connect your external hard drive to your computer and launch an anti-virus on it. This could help you and check if the problem of the error you are getting is due to a virus or malware on the external hard drive.
  • If the antivirus scan does not work, you can check your hard drive for errors:
  1. You can type run in the Start menu, and select it.
  2. -Type CMD , and then press ENTER.
  3. -Type chkdsk o:/f check the letter of the hard disk external hard drive is connected, in the command prompt window, you can change the letter to the correct. Then click on the button enter.
  4. -Press Enter key and it should begin to repair damaged files that might have caused the error, you should see some of your names in files before finally, it asks if you want to save the channels lost in another location. Click Yes.

  If you can normally process, you can try to read your external hard drive, once you restarted your computer. Please note that the process can take a long and patience will be required on this.

• How to use Ready Boost, and what are the requirements for the use of portable hard drives and flash drives for use with Ready Boost?

  I have Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate Edition and try to get Ready Boost to work on my PC using portable hard drives or flash drives. I have 2 portable hard drives (iomega 120gig, Seagate 250gig) and a 8gig sandisk cruzer flash drive. All this deterioration when you try to use the ready boost said that these discs only are not compatible or not supported. So what do I need?

  Not all readers will work with ReadyBoost. There are some readers who actually will specify that they are capable of ReadyBoost.

  By WikiPedia:

  • The device should have an access time of 1ms or less.
  • The device must be capable of 2.5 MB/s for 4 KB random read speeds indicates the spread uniformly across the entire device and 1.75 MB/s write for 512 speed random writes spread uniformly across the device.

  You must also put the device and let it plugged in for ReadyBoost. ReadyBoost is therefore best suited for a small thumbdrive (up to 4 GB) that greater thumbdrive or external HD that you would probably be disconnect from time to time.

  Open solutions Explorer window, find your Cruzer - right-click on it and click Properties. If there is a ReadyBoost tab, you can set up - set it to dedicate this device to ReadyBoost. It will be implemented and save a file on the USB key. Click Apply and're you good to go.

  A caveat which I can testify first-hand. Apparently while booting, Win 7 has trouble with some USB key - it will search the thumbdrive, the operating system, the process of starting to stall and you say: ' Missing Operating System ' - Fortunately the solution is very easy. Shut down the computer, remove the USB key, restart the computer and it will start normally. I had this happen with a 8 GB Cruzer. This seems to be a random thing, because I had the Cruzer plugged in and booted several times without encountering the error of missing operating system message. No idea why or why it is injury. Currently, I use a Kodak USB 2 gig key that seems to work very well.

  When I plug my portable hard drive to the usb port it does not read and display the contents...

  Hi deaza,.

  Ø Have you connected the USB hard drive to the computer directly or you have used an external USB hub to connect?

  O trying to connect to another USB port to check if it works?

  O the hardrive shows in windows of the computer when you connect it?

  Method 1:
  If you have installed security software, I suggest you to temporarily disable the security software and connect the USB and check to see if the same problem happens. Make sure that you enable the security software after checking.

  Alternatively, you can try to plug the USB key into a different USB port and check if it helps.

  Method 2:
  I suggest trying to launch hardware and troubleshooting of devices and check to see if it helps, here is the link:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-to-do-when-a-device-isn ' t-installed-correctly

  Method 3:
  If this does not help, then follow these steps:

  (a) remove all your USB devices. Use the safely remove the feature to turn them off.

  (b) open Device Manager and navigate to the section for USB. Uninstall all USB drives. There should be one for each USB port, and then restart.

  To open Device Manager, go to the link below and follow the steps:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-Device-Manager

  (c) Windows should re - find all of the devices. If it is not the case, note the error message and let us know.

  You can also navigate to the link below and follow the steps to install the USB device.
