• Western Digital elements Desktop 1.5 WDBAAU0015HBK to external hard drive F:------is not accessible? !

  Hello

  Anyone know how to get your hdd to work again?
  When I try to open the WD hard drive in, start - computer and then double-click the hard disk drive, I just that stand: F: \ is not accessible.

  I built my desktop computer, on my own, win7 64-bit SP1 included, MSI MB, 128 GB Crucial M4 main hard drive.

  * Have tried to reboot the computer, does not work.
  * Plug the WD hdd in my laptop 64 bit Win7, do not work, same error.

  In Disk Manager, I see that the drive works fine, and I see that it has the right amount of space, since the last time I used the hard drive.

  Which means that I prefer not to format the drive hard until I moved all my important files on another hard drive.

  But how can I contact with my Western Digital elements Desktop 1.5 WDBAAU0015HBK to external hard drive?

  Best regards

  Hi Jessica,.

  First things first: Let's try to save your files!

  Method 1: (take a look at the method 2 first before you start method 1, it is perhaps more to your tastes).

  Since you have to build your own PC I guess you are tech savvy enough to boot your PC in a Linux environment. I've seen many HARD drives that suddenly don't would not open in Windows more but normally open in an environment Linux like Ubuntu, Mint, DSL, etc. etc.

  • Enter a blank (empty) USB key.
  • Download Universal USB install.
  • Find a Linux distro to your tastes. Just take a look at Distrowatch or just go with my favorite version: Linux Mint and download the .iso image file.
  • Run the USB installation tool
  • Step 1 scroll down to Linux Mint 13 cinnamon (or the distribution chosen by you)
  • Step 2 Browse for the right .iso image file downloaded
  • In step 3, select the empty USB.
  • Start the process.

  When finished restart your PC with the USB attached. During startup, select the menu boot options and choose to boot from USB. Now boot Linux Mint. No installation required! : D

  When you arrived at the office, search your Western Digital HDD elements in 'computer '. Now hope and pray that it will open! If so: start copying all the files and folders immediately to another drive.

  When everything is save go in Windows and format of the WD hard drive. With a little luck, it'll work again. You'd better check the SMART data to see if the drive status.

  Method 2:

  Since the drive appears in disk management, try to make an image using a program like DriveimageXML or what you want. Once finished, try to read the contents of the image. If you are able to do this, you have just saved your data. Now format the WD hard drive. With a little luck, it'll work again. You'd better check the SMART data to see if the drive status.

  Good luck, Sebastian.

• Western Digital Elements WDBAAU0010HBK external hard drive,

  I want to use a Western Digital elements external hard drive WDBAAU0010HBK, but my laptop does not recognize it as a drive in windows Explorer. It gives notice that the hardware is installed and ready to use, but I'm not. In printers, and other devices, it displays an icon of the hard disk, but I only see the properties of the disc and not the files that are on it. I searched the internet for drivers for this drive, but WD elements has no pilot at all to its Web site, it says that the drivers must be installed automatically by Windows. I hope there's a sollution to this problem.

  Hello
  (1) have you made changes before the start of this issue?
  (2) you are trying to connect the external hard drive via the Hub?
  Method 1: My drive does not appear in Windows Explorer.

• Western Digital Elements Desktop WDE1U10000 1 TB external hard drive

  I had used this external HARD disk to store the files from my windows XP laptop and also to create backups for my 2 desktop computers running windows XP.

  The HARD drive still works fine with my windows XP laptop.
  Can what steps I take to get this HARD to be recognized by the Windows 7 desktop PC?
  Are there drivers, I need to load or partition the HARD drive on the XP machine, then on Wndows 7 machines?

• Windows updates has shown installation but when checked 0kb installed and the icon was missing from the tray (Win XP sp3 IE6)

  original title: another missing Windows updates missing yellow icon (Win XP sp3 IE6)
   
  I'm having the same problem also.

  Windows XP sp3 with IE6. All updates applied excluding this last batch with the numbers you mention, except for two of them.

  I can tell you that, just as usual, the yellow icon was present when downloading these updates were. Then he disappeared after that that they have been fully downloaded.

  Interestingly, I went to Microsoft Update to check to see the new updates and found downloaded after checked for updates, BUT when I dropped down the details for them they all showed 0 KB!

  Here are the updates, that he sent to me (last

  Ko

  2559049

  2567680

  2566454

  2562937

  8900380

  2570222

  2536276

  and the MSE customer update kb 2544035.

  The only one who showed no 0Ko was a MS Security Essentials client update number kb2544035 with 7kb.

  I tested two updates from win xp to see if they would be set up and they did, here are the numbers... .kb8900380 and kb2567680

  kb8900380 is the edition of August 2011 of malware removal tool.

  I tested and found that it was actually installed and worked.

  Just one thing. I noticed on restart every time the yellow icon appears in the status bar but only flashes for a second or two, then

  disappears once more. I tried to quickly click on it but it does not.

  I then checked the taskbar customize notification and I found that it presents itself as an element of the past and said that it is associated with the download of updates.

  Syed N:

  Thanks for your suggestions.
  I wanted to post back to update everyone on my current situation.
  I was going to ask your manual correction of the WSUS... when I got home tonight. However, at the start of my PC tonight the Automatic Update icon (yellow) was actually download updates once more and things work like they are supposed to. After the download, the icon shows the balloon which informs you that you have updates available and when I clicked on the icon it was admissible and that it took me to the menu as usual at the.
  Then, I tested several updates in the menu of the AU and downloaded. They were installed properly and allow them left unchecked the icon stay in the tray as usual.
  I don't know what happened, but things are now correct.
  You have an overview on why things "fixed", I would be interested to know the why of it. !!!!!!! It is interesting to me.
  Maybe the MS is really followed this site and or you guys relay these flaws in MS for the correction.
  Thanks for your suggestions, I've forgotten to be able to reset the update components!
  Finally, Syed:
  If you can relay the suggestion to MS. I always liked Windows and like the superior ability I have to control aspects of it unlike OSX (Apple MAC) however the link low is a win (including 7) WIndows update mechanism. I was lucky for me and my family, I'm enough common sense to know how to apply updates to avoid the problems of the operating system, but not everyone has this education and too many times same own OS Win with very little in option programs/software and hardware drivers downloaded) have more up-to-date flaws then seems reasonable.
  I would like to see MS improve WSUS and also more importantly still provide and ENCOURAGE users to take and the advantage of teaching material that MS can offer users to consumers.
  PA bear:
  Also thank you for your suggestions. I didn't know that MSE is a culprit in this issue, but you never know.

• Internal and external drives hard. Vista and XP recognizes the limits? The partitions ok?

  Hello. I had a few questions. It focuses on internal and external HDD. I have Vista and XP. I read a bit of info I would like to shed some light on.

  I watched an external HARD disc. A Western Digital 2 to My Book Studio Edition II external HARD drive, USB 2.0 / FireWire 800 / eSATA. In the end what he says:

  The system configuration required

  • Available USB port, FireWire 800 or 400 port, port eSATA or eSATA adapter card
  • Mac OS X 10.5.2 10.4.10+, +.
  • Windows 2000/XP/Vista
    Note: the 4 TB version works with Windows® Vista only. Windows 2000/XP do not support hard drives with capacities above 2 TB.

  I guess it's true. So: If someone were to buy a 4 TB model: can you even plug the drive in Windows XP and then partition it in two? Or will it give errors or not be recognized?

  What about Windows 7? I guess it's more advanced than Vista. Obviously.

  I am looking for 3 Tb + internal and external HARD drive. I can not find them. I ' v looked on the websites Seagates and Western Digital, Future Shop and Best Buy, local stores, etc. Maybe I missed them. I think I can start to see well for the holiday season.

  Thank you.

  I don't think that there may be a problem with xp sp3. I don't know with vista sp2 and 7 should work for you.

  BIOS update is also important.

• Blue screen of death BSOD when you unplug a Thunderbolt - MacBookPro Retina Display drive

  I have this problem for almost a year now, I hope that there is a real solution.

  I have a MacBook Pro with the Retina display, I am running windows via BootCamp 8. Whenever there is a disconnection of a bolt of lightning external, hard drive of the computer freezes and 30 seconds later a blue screen appears.

  Also when love at first sight is connected to an external hard drive, that the 'Sleep' function is disabled, so my only option is either restart or shut down the computer.

  My primary operating system is windows of course, I have my photo and video library on an external box Seagate Thunderbolt, this situation causes me a lot of problems with data loss o certain occasions.

  Y at - it a new version of the drivers or firmware that allows to correct this situation?

  An update of the Intel driver solve the BSOD when disconecting the drive, I still have to reboot for windows recognizes the drive and just 'stop or restart"when the disc is less active but I have my life is safer now :D

  Thanks to you all.

• What is the best solution when my external drive for Time Machine is full?

  Hello

  I use the latest version of Mac OS X on my iMac 27 ". I use a drive outside of 3 TB G-Tech for Time Machine backup. Due to my recently many RAW photo images, I have less 8% left storage on my external hard drive, so I'm trying to figure out next steps in what concerns the strategy of external storage and have the following questions:

  • When my external drive for Time Machine is full, it is my understanding that older backups on external hard drive will be deleted to make room for newer backups. If the oldest backups contained pictures (whose records have not changed since the time they are initially stored), then I guess that these photos will be removed from the external drive - correct?
  • If I had to replace my external drive for Time Machine with a new external drive which is as big or bigger than the one it replaces, what should I expect on the size of the initial backup on the new drive? I guess the size of the backup would be exactly equal to the current amount of storage used on my drive hard iMac - correct?
  • Would it not be possible to connect the external drive for Time Machine existing at a new Time Machine external drive so that when the original disk is full, the overflow will be automatically stored on the new external hard drive for Time Machine? (If feasible, it seems that this strategy would maximize my external storage capacity vs just replace external drives.)

  I realize that my first two questions are rather basic, but I don't want to make any false assumptions. The third idea is intriguing and I would like to know if this is a viable option.

  Thank you

  Brian

  older files are starting to get deleted because the disk fills up then Yes, they went

  the backup drive should ideally be 4 times the capacity of your current drive, twice is good but has its limits. Also factor in what you store: a jpeg from the web and a raw photo file are the two images, the size of a is very different. If you work in high-resolution or large native files, or audio files (record pro, no music files) or video production twice the disk fills up very quickly. If you collect photos and JPEG and mp3 files or a handful of videos not so much is necessary.

  I would keep the old drive intact if you want to replace and start over with a new drive, if that's the plan. You have the old data, you can keep it somewhere safe and have a redundant backup which you can reconnect at any time to restore from. Let the new index drive itself with new data and take if from there, in the case otherwise you can copy the backup to the new drive and set the drive as the new source of backup but personally I wouldn't copy of the data, that's my preference, it may not be yours and that's fine.
