  Help, please...

  Hi dynamitenews

   

  1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
  2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

   

  You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

  Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.
  
  BIOS WARNING-
  Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

• I need the driver for my external HARD disk drive

  Hi how are you?

  Well, I would like to know I do an external drive using the portable hard drive whose name is "Toshiba MK8034GSX" which is with a capacity of 80 GB.
  A few days back I plugged to the USB port with my pc but after that it says need driver and I n t have the HARD disk driver.

  So kindly if anyone has the driver or know the link where I can find the driver then tell me I will be very grateful to you all.

  With regard to:

  Martine André

  Hello

  What is a USB HDD?
  You n t need any driver, and there is no drivers for an external USB HDD.

  The USB driver is part of the Windows OS and it s already installed.
  The USB HDD must be fitted with a plug & play device which means that should be recognized automatically after you connect to the laptop USB port.

  What OS you have and what laptop is it?
  The operating system is up to date?
  USB ports are correctly listed in the Device Manager?

• OS can not find Gigastore external HARD disk.

  Hello
  I have a problem with my new Gigastore external HARD drive.
  I have a windows 2000 and the operating system can not find the Gigastore external HARD disk.
  One of the systemrequires is that it is compatible with Windows 2000.

  Thank you for your help.

  Sincerely
  Luis

  You don't give much info.
  I would first go in "Device Manager" and check that there is not a question mark with "unknown device" beside him. If this is the case, highlight it and delete it, unplug your HARD drive and restart your computer. Check the Device Manager again, you will need to repeat the process without the connected HARD drive. Then follow the instructions of the manufacturer install the driver. In some cases, you will need to plug it in the first place, in others, first install the driver. The order is important.

  I always use Nero or Roxio software, but Windows XP it has a function limited to do so.  First of all, if you must make sure that the drive you purchased is able to WRITE on the discs.  The vast majority are, but you should check that first.  Normally Windows will find the right driver for the latter and load it, but you can check the Device Manager to see.  XP if the memories are good, you click on Start-> support-> Device Manager.  Locate the entry of CD/DVD.  If there is none? or! next to him, you have the right driver.  Also, if your device came with a driver, it is another indication that you probably don't have something special for her.  Then, you will need to check to see what type of disc you have.  Many external DVD/CD players will read and write CD but not write DVD.  There are CDs CD - r and CD - RW.  CD - RW is to be formatted, but normally you don't format CD - r.  You just need to copy and paste to, click the disk, and then open Windows Explorer, on the drive, and you should see something like a list of files waiting to be burned to a disc.  Should be a button there to burn.

  Now, let me propose an alternative.  An external hard drive is much better for purposes of backup CDs.  You can buy 500 GB for $70, and 1,5 to ones for about $ these days $100.  You can also buy flash drives.  You can get a 16 GB one for $10.  These would be at least 1600 pictures.  You can also buy 32 GB for $20 flash drives.

  I hope this helps.  Good luck.

• Lightroom 5, letter from the external HARD disk drive

  I use LR 5 and store my images on an external drive 'f' raw Once I inserted an SD card on my PC from Win10, and he received the letter F on the SD drive. Later, when I connected my external drive where I store my raw, the PC files it G. Since then, I am unable to get LR5 to locate photos. I went into disk, reassigned management to F the drive letter for the drive external hard, then back to G since LR5 thought he was now drive G. other than the location manually each individual records, seems to have no other choice. Any help would be appreciated

  The simplest solution is to use disk management to reassign the external drive the desired letter.

  My recommendation is to choose a letter 'J' so that readers SD or other do not continue to change the letter on you.

  After that you have the letter assigned, go to Lightroom file Board.

  If the folder hierarchy does not appear as it does explore, right click on a folder and select 'Show the parent'. Repeat if necessary.

  Then 'move' the first folder on the drive with the new letter. Everything under this first file will be automatically updated.

  Why would you want to? Just put the reader to ignore the ownership and permissions.

• What can I add two external hard drives?

  My most recent iMac has a Thunderbolt port and I have a bolt of lightning > FW 800 adapter. I have also 3 HDDs that still have firewire 800 (they actually also have USB, but it's only USB2, so this isn't an option). Is is allowed to add two (one using the FW cable adapter and then use a FW cable to connect two readers) as I sometimes like to copy things from one to the other.

  Yes, but the second disc will probably need to have its own power supply.

• Satellite A500-18 t: is it possible to creat recovery external HARD disk drive

  Hello

  I just bought a Satellite A500-18 t and before the first launch, I wonder if it is possible to create the recovery disk on a USB external drive, rather than burning a DVD.

  No, something like this is not possible.
  Please create recovery DVDs and do not forget, that you will lose not.
  To create recovery discs, I recommend using the media high quality as TDK or Verbatim DVD-R.
  I had very good experiences with the media in the past.
