• Impossible to format or use USB - external HDD - storage device.

  I have a computer at home using Windows 7 and laptop using 7 Starter. I also have a 350GB HD and DVD writer unit that attaches via USB. Computers see the DVD burner and the hard disk consider both as a mass storage device. However, when recording work this unit is not available as an option. It may need to be formatted. Windows seems unable to cope with this task. Any ideas how to use this hard drive? Suggestions welcome. Main computer is an all-in-one advent. The phone is a Samsung.

  If the external hard drive was manufactured until Windows 7 is released, you may need to download a driver for him to the company that makes it.  A number of people have reported this is the case.  You didn't say what brand drive you have or how old he was.

  I hope this helps.  Good luck.

• Remove an external USB storage device after the message "cannot delete".

• how much storage is required for a scheduled backup, if you already have your shadow system recorded in the storage device?

  Hello

  I already asked this question but I am still confused! I have re-installed a W7-64 bit fresh in my desktop HP-computer, the first thing was to burn down an emergency start, the startup disk, and then stored a shadow/system image on a removable pocket of 160 G external support box. I have configured my monthly backups to be stored in this media storage device that shows almost 90Gs by flying over. But when the monthly AutoSave active, it stops, & I get a window saying my camera isn't big enough for a scheduled backup. Correct me if I am wrong but I thought that if you have a shadow of system stored in (an external device like mine). A new scheduled backup is just to refresh the system image w/all other file, program etc... Why do I need more 90Gs for whom? I can't afford an external backup storage, right up there:
  1. is it possible to store scheduled backups on my current internal C: drv? (I am aware of the risks). until I get no additional external storage?
  2. why, simply by making a return for which the OS is looking for new files, software etc... who need to maybe added or put to date him require more Gs to a full backup of the system?

  Hi Alan,

  You are welcome!

• Impossible to safely remove external USB HDD - ejection of mass storage device problem

  Hello

  I have a 250 toshiba external hard drive. "When I go safely remove device and click on stop, guests me that ' ejection of mass storage device problem and try later.

  Is there a reason for this? As I have heard it is dangerous to pull the cord without stopping it first.

  This happens usually when something is always access to the USB - HDD.
  Yes, it s dangerous to pull on the cable, because you can lose some data and the file system may be damaged. But if you have a situation where you need the drive to take with you and want to just get out the cable to the USB port there is a little trick to disconnect the security apparatus:

  Do right click on 'My Computer'-> click on Hardware-> click "devicemanager"-> go into "diskdrives"-> then you need to click on the drive that is your USB - HDD-> with the right button and then click on 'Properties'-> in the menu properties of this drive, you must go on "policies" and click on "optimize for quick removal"-> and then click OK and exit this menu and all-> perform a reboot-> closing information fact. :)

  After that, it s safe for remove you your drive even if it s not ejected. :)

• Want T15 - J100 Quad Edition Tou: recover the BIOS of the laptop using an external storage device

  So, from the start of my screen is empty and Caps Lock flashes 2 times.  I tried the Windows key + B + power key without success as indicted here:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02693833?JumpID=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0003

  I tried to recover the BIOS with an external storage device but HP's Software and driver download page does not have BIOS updated.  I've updated for Windows 10.

  Where is the BIOS update that is supposed to be here? :

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-envy-15-J100-Quad-Edition-Notebook-PC-series/6521...

  This model seems to have a lot of problems with what I find it everywhere on the internet, but the solutions all return to the download of the update of the BIOS.  I noticed that I can download an update for Windows 8.1.  Are there not one for Windows 10 yet?  Can I use the 8.1?

  The BIOS in the list of drivers of Windows 8 is the last exit for your model. You can use it regardless of the operating system because the BIOS recovery is run outside of Windows.

  BTW-to help the Windows key + B keys. When you press and release the power button / continue to hold the buttons for a few seconds see if BIOS recovery screen appears. I know that it is different from the document - but try it.

• How can I reset Windows Media Player to use songs on my external backup drive instead or in addition to the songs on my desktop with Windows Vista Edition basic hard drive family?

  How can I reset the Player Windows Media in Windows Vista Home Basic to use the songs on my external backup drive instead of (or in addition to) the songs on my desktop hard drive?  Currently, the Media Player library indicates that the hard drive (C:\) is my only option of disks to use for sources of songs.

  Basically, I want to have Media Player external drive for all the songs from research and build his library on this disc instead of on the C:\ drive.
  My problem is that the songs are hogging too much space on my hard drive, so I want to move to my external drive to backup instead, but Media Player will not access it.  I saw an option in Media Player to add a song to a different drive to the library whenever I play a song of this player, but that would require me to play all the songs moved one at a time, which is not practical, and which would not solve my problem because Media Player could still be maintaining the library on my HDD to say.
  Any ideas?
  Thank you.

• Persistence of info external storage device music

  I have a 16 GB USB with adapter OTG. Because I'm running out of space on my phone, I keep my music on the USB port. I can download music info (which is a bit incorrect, but that's another story) for music, but as soon as I eject the USB, all the music info is lost. This only happens when the phone is turned on. Is there a way to stop the lost music info when external storage devices are removed with music on them?

  Yes: Connect this USB to your PC and use software Media Go update info music, phone updates is stored locally on the phone itself, so if you remove the USB key, reset the phone or deleted from the media database updates will be lost. Also is it better to update the media on the USB.
