• 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.

• A toshiba canvio 1 TB external portable hard drive can be formatted in FAT32?

  I have a bought a toshiba canvio 1 TB external portable hard drive so you can use it to watch all my TV shows and movies and of course store them all.

• 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...

  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.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

• How did you just watch and see which files/folders are already on the portable hard drive?

  Trying to access the site just to get a glance at what already on the disk. Haven't used in years. Think that it could possibly be this hard, never be you making fun of me!

  Hello Koolbreeze7,

  I'm not sure of the method that you use to access your external drive, but regardless of the type of drive, it's (portable hard drive, USB key, etc.) they are all accessible fashion.

  It works on all versions of Windows.

  Connect the USB hard drive. A driver installed the first time you use it.
  

  Click Start, then computer and double-click it to open it.
  

  You should see similar to this image of hard drive icons.

  

  When you plug the laptop drive, another icon of the disc is added to your list. This is the icon you open to access the content.

  If a new drive icon does not appear when it is connected, your computer does not recognize the drive and so you will have to go through the steps of troubleshooting of the error.

  Here is a video showing the same thing on a XP machine.

  Note: Where, he says, 'My computer' can be as simply "computer" depending on which version of Windows you are using.

   

• I use MozBack to the top, when I followed the instructions of the wizard a file on my portable hard drive. I went back to Thunderbird and my Inbox was deleted

  I use MozBack to the top, when I followed the instructions of the wizard a backup file on my portable hard drive. I'm back to Thunderbird I found the content of my Inbox was deleted. Sent and deleted files have not been removed. I then returned to MozBackup and followed the instructions to restore the information from my Inbox, but it didn't happen.
  What I did wrong.

  as incredible as it may seem. MozBackup has nothing to do with Mozilla or Thunderbird. If you have any questions about mozbackup I don't really know where you're going.

• 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:
