Can only see 1 of my 2 WD drives in my computer

I have 2 WD drives... only the 500 Black will appear in my computer, but the 320 blue is not recognized [although it is in Device Manager].  Can someone help with this annoying problem?

Hi Malkeleah and all those who may have the same problem... I found the answer in my "Windows XP Professional to book Power Users!  OK, here's a summary of the problem and the solution:

Problem: The new drive hard not recognized in 'My Computer', but it is everywhere else.

Solution:

  1. Go to computer management
  2. Right-click on the drive in the lower right pane
  3. Select "Disk management" in the left menu
  4. Select format and after that.
  5. Select a drive letter... You're done!

This problem has Nothing to do with the motherboard and connect the SATA power cable to the power supply cable can reduce noise... but it wasn't the case here, because today, hard drives are combined to reduce cross-contamination [it was done out of desperation to solve what I thought, it was a simple problem].  This "bug" is quite common with some SATAs, and all the time with IIs SATA... so here is the solution... good luck.

  • in Outlook Express, how can I send the same message to a group important (in the address book already), but have to each recipient can only see his name (not the Group)

    In Outlook Express, how can I send the same message to the large group (already in the address book), but have to each recipient can only see his name (not the Group)?

    To use the functionality of the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy), in a new message window, click View | All headers and type the addresses separated by a; Or: Click the button to. You will see your list of contacts and the choice to put them in the To, CC, or BCC field. Click on an address, and then click BCC to add it. Repeat for all of the contacts you want. (Note: most of the providers have limits as to how many messages you can send both a. 25 is common, but it varies).

    Put your own address in the box to. That's the only name/address that any recipient will see. If you leave the field empty, some people may not receive e-mail because of message rules they put in place, or restrictions imposed by their ISP.

    You can also make an entry in the address book using your e-mail address, but put something like the mailing list in the area of the display.

    *********************

    You can also create groups if you send e-mail to the same people often.

    To create a group of contacts:

    You can create a single group name (or alias) to use when sending a message to several contacts at the same time. Just create a group name and add individual contacts to the group. Then just type the name of the group in the box for when you send mail.

    1. in the address book, select the folder in which you want to create a group. Click New in the toolbar, and then click New Group.
    2. the Properties dialog box opens. In the group name box, type the name of the group.
    3. There are several ways to add people to the Group:
    a. to add a person from your address book list, click Select members, and then click a name in the address book list.
    (b) to add a person directly to the group without adding the name to your address book, type the person's name and e-mail address at the bottom of the Properties dialog box and then click Add.
    to add a person to both the Group and your address book, click New Contact and enter the appropriate information.
    (d) to use a directory service, click Select members, and then click search. Select a directory service in the drop-down list at the end of the text box. After finding and selecting an address, it is automatically added to your address book.
    4. Repeat for each addition until your group is defined.

    Note

    a. to view a list of your groups separately from the list of address book in the address book on the view menu, make sure that folders and groups is selected.
     
    b. you can create multiple groups, and contacts can belong to several groups.

    If you want to send to a group without addresses are displayed for each recipient, open the address book and make a new entry. Enter the name of the group in the area of the display, but use your address. (Some Internet service providers require a legitimate address in the line to and recipients will know it's from the Group).

    Click on the button to. Enter the name of the group using your address. Enter the group in the BCC field.

  • Windows XP cannot see that the internet can only see LAN

    We have a small network in my house. My router was set to WEP security (I know its too old, but my windows xp laptop computer does not work with WPA or newer). And I also added mac filtering for more security addresses. This network has worked well for 2 years.

    Meanwhile in a cell phone (that has windows XP sp3) so its wireless network broke, and we couldn't get living, then we just plugged on the router via a cable.

    Recently I had to reset my router because I forgot a password and I could add anything to the mac filter list.

    After that, I put at 'the original' for example WEP + mac filtering (only the passwords have been changed).

    Now everything is working fine, 2 laptops (both Windows 7 a), 2 readers, network all our phones smart etc can connect again, the only laptop (with Windows XP) problem.

    The XP laptop can see LAN (two disks) and router only (ping works), but in any browser (firefox, chrome, iexplorer) give me a Web site cannot loaded in the background: error 105, Err_name_not_resolved.

    I tried names ping (google.com) and different ip addresses (for example my ISP dns server address) but I get no answer 100% packet loss. I tried a lot of things that they did not help

    (1) has tried to change my XP for some fix + fix dns ip (I found these adressis in my router configuration/network configuration)
    (2) then I put back to dynamic ip once again in the line of cmd ipconfig release, ipconfig/reset, etc., I checked all addresses was going well everywhere (I mean gateway, DHCP server, dns server, looked well with dynamic ip too)

    (3) then I found similar position
    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_xp-Networking/cannot-ping-outside-my-local-network/de73a1f9-ef4b-E011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5
    so I tried also what is in the post
    "netsh winsock reset" "netsh int ip reset" then "ipconfig/flushdns" then restart computer

    Nothing helped so I registered here, maybe I answer.

    you might need this information:

    Cisco EPC2425 router is
    The two networks wdstorage discs + mybookworld... I think they are the two Western Digital stuff. I'm not sure, I can look after if its important (I don't think)
    So, I got two disks still attached. (so 3 connection of the UTP in the router is used, two for disks for the windows XP laptop)

    Thank you for your answer

    Hi Robert,.

    Thank you for updating us the status of the case.

    I suggest that temporarily disable you the firewall.

    I recommend you to test name resolution

    A DNS server provides host name resolution. If you cannot connect to a server on the Internet by using its FQDN, there could be a problem with the DNS configuration of your dial-up connection to your ISP or DNS server of your ISP.

    To determine if there is a problem with the DNS configuration of your dial-up to your ISP connection, follow these steps:

    a. at a command prompt, type ipconfig/all, and then press ENTER to display the IP address of your DNS server. If the IP address of your DNS server does not appear, contact your ISP for the IP address of your DNS server.

    (b) to verify that your computer can communicate with your DNS server, ping IP address of your DNS server. The response looks like this:

    Rattling #. ###. ###. # with 32 bytes of data:

    Response to #. ###. ###. #: bytes = 32 time = 77ms TTL = 28
    Response to #. ###. ###. #: bytes = 32 time = 80ms TTL = 28
    Response to #. ###. ###. #: bytes = 32 time = 78ms TTL = 28
    Response to #. ###. ###. #: bytes = 32 time = 79ms TTL = 28

    The series of digital signs (#. #. #. #) represents the IP address of the DNS server.

    If you can't ping the IP address of the DNS server successfully, contact your ISP to verify that you are using the IP address and the DNS server is working properly.
     
    When you have verified the correct IP address of your DNS server, update the settings of your connection to your ISP's dial-up TCP/IP. To change or add a valid IP address for your DNS server for a dial-up Networking phonebook entry, follow these steps:

    a. in Control Panel, double-click network connections.

    b. right click on your Internet connection, click Properties and then click the network tab.

    c. click the Internet Protocol adapter, and then click Properties.

    d. click use the following DNS server address, and then type the correct IP address in the preferred DNS server box.

    e. click OK, and then click OK again.

  • User ID and password, how he can only see the Web page belong to him and other users cannot visit

    I use PHP + SQL + DW to develop the Web site. This site has 5 users, each user will follow up its own list of clients that is in the same form of mySQL database.  Each user has its own ID and password.

    My question is:

    1. how to make each user can see only its own customers?

    2. when users connect you, how each of them can visit only its own web page, while the other 4 users cannot visit.

    Waiting for your response.

    Thank you.

    You must make sure that the SELECT statement in all Recordset queries contains the user id in the WHERE clause. The structure of the SELECT statement must be such that it limits the results to only relevant lines for this user. This ID must be filled with a session variable. Do not go to the page using a query string.

  • Can only see the first and last frame of the item in the editing HELP PLEASE

    Hi, my first time and I find an answer, but fails. I first elements 4 and I'm trying to worm. 9. in version 4 clips in the timelin shows all the frames, but in ver 9 it only shows the first and last frame clips. Is it possible to make all the images to display. I mean by "all frames", clips from filling with frames. I wanted to see all of the images in the scenario, it is easier for me to select and cut the pieces on.

    My features are Core 2 Duo 6750, Nvidia 8600GTS, 4 G of Ram and Vista Home Premium. 3 HARD DRIVE 3 TB.

    Thank you for having responded

    Werner

    Werner,

    Welcome to the forum.

    In the header of the video track, there is an icon for Clip thumbnail display. It's a cycle, and you can scroll through the Modes to display the first frame, first & last, all, or none (name of file only). In pre 4.0, it's on the far left in the header of the track. I guess that's about the same place in pre 9.0.

    Good luck and hope that helps.

  • Need help please, I can only see outlines when I use the tool shape in CS5?

    When I open the 2 or 3 action script in CS5 and draw a rectangle or any form, I see only outlines? The problem IS NOT the outlines button which is in the palette layers, because I changed several times and he has mad no difference and it'S NOT because I've selected no fill, or color of the shape.

    If you want to see a screenshot of my computer follow this link that I have exactly the same problem http://forums.adobe.com/message/2927153

    BUT Interestingly, when I opened someone elses .fla working paper, I can draw and fill out forms without problem, which makes me wonder if I am missing some basic settings when I start with my new document?

    Any help would be appreciated. I'm quite familiar with Photoshop but a beginner in Flash

    I learned something new, given the display you point on that might help - it has the same effect as using the tool outline on the layer, but throughout the world.  In the main menu, select view-> Preview Mode-> and nothing, except the contours.

  • In the toolbar, I can only see the icons, but not the description. After clicking on the icons, I still can't do anything with it.

    I have Adobe Acrobat X Standard. I used it for a long time. Since last night's speech, I can't use the tools to edit or modify any pdf file.

    I have Windows 7, Acrobat 10.1.16.13.

    After a new file, first open the tool window to the right isn't here so I have to open it manually. I'm going to display - tools - and then any option. After that, I can see the tools on the right section, but no description... just like the image below.

    Even if I click on any icon, no action will happen. As example, I moved the typewriter as a QuickTool and still it does not work.

    Any suggestion?
