  • I get the 0x8078012D error code when I run the Windows backup on an external hard drive.

    I get the 0x8078012D error code when I run the Windows backup on an external hard drive.  I have Windows 7 Professional.  That suggests this error code is the problem and how can I solve the problem?

    For people who read this thread, I offer the following information.  I solved the problem by noticing that the problem could have been caused, when the system image is created.  So I did a backup without creating the system image and backup is complete without error.

    Then I used the backup program to create a system image.  This time error (0x8007045D) was displayed.   The error report says "the operation failed for a device error encountered with the source or the destination. If the volume of the source or the destination is on a disk, run CHKDSK /R on the source volume or destination and then try again using. »

    So I ran chkdsk/r, and this program is a bad sector on the hard drive of my computer and fixed the error.  It took about an hour to run the program.  Now, the image of the system and the backup of data file work again.

    So I think that the main cause of error (0x8078012D) is deborahgarbe of i/o error (0x8007045D).  So if you get the first error code you can search for fixes for the second error code fix the root cause.

    It depends on what you use to perform the backup.  The built in and more 3rd-3rd party apps will allow you to save an external USB drive.

    Hello

    Can I use TC for backup and as external hard drive?

    If yes then when it is full, TC erase my personal data I have stored in TC as a hard drive or erase the oldest backups?

    1. Yes, but you shouldn't. Your working data and backups must be on separate drives in case one of them goes down.

  • The use of recovery of product with external devices?

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite and it is that I wanted to re - format my windows XP. But I realized that my CD Player no longer works so I decided to put my external CD burner on my pc.

    When the laptop is turned on, the CD is well recognized from this source. But now, my problem is that I can't find a way to boot the CD in the external drive (USB-Boot).

    How can I do? Or someone has a better solution for me to format my laptop because the internal CD player does not work? (I already tried in BIOS for external devices as the first boot device, does not :-()

    Unfortunately the guy... I have bad news for you.
    Boot from the external USB CD/DVD drive is not possible. BIOS do not support this feature.

    If you need to boot from the CD, you will need to purchase a new, compatible internal CD/DVD drive and supported.

    Note that not all CD/DVD slim line drives are supported because different master/slave/c-salt settings.
    Usually, the user manual should provide information on the supported CD/DVD burner.
    If this isn't the case, then ask the maintainer authorized Toshiba and a compatible player.

  • Unable to release the video of external device

    Hello

    I am trying to play a DVD in my DVD play using the Toshiba DVD player software. I get the following error message when I do (paraphrasing):
    Can't get out the video of external device. Use the FN + F5 to change device once you have closed the application.

    I did it but the "device" that I could choose was my laptop LCD - which makes sense because I am not connected to any device.

    I come to this site and saw the comments I could need to install the Realtek Audio driver. I did, restarted and tried again. Still have the same error message.

    Hello

    Just a few questions:
    What cell phone do you have?
    What operating system you are using?
    Have you tried another player like VLC media player?

    Maybe you should try to update the display driver. The audio driver has nothing to do with the video output.

    I don t use Toshiba DVD Player, I m using VLC media player. It s faster and can play most audio and video files.

  • Satellite A300 - Windows 7 does not recognize external devices

    Windows 7 (32-bit) an upgrade of Vista and couldn't be more peripheral to work due to driver problems. Talked to Microsoft and they found that my drivers are still there but can not find them unless I tell them where to look, and so all devices I plug I need to install drivers for both times.

    Any body have ideas how to solve this problem?

    Hi doug47,

    To be honest, I think I can t help you because I know you want to know exactly.

    External devices, you mean? Not everything you need drivers, like external hard drives, USB sticks, etc. These discs will be recognized automatically (plug & play) and they are read to use after connecting.

    If you mean printer or mobile phones you have need of additional drivers. You can get it from the manufacture.
