  share external hard drive

  I am able to access my desktop to my laptop as part of a homegroup, but can not access the external hard drive that is attached to my office. I want to be able to back up my laptop hard disk external.  Advice please.

  I do not use homegroups, but 'true' to share, so I don't know how this is supposed to work with homegroups. But usually he should share a drive or folder, first before you can access it from another machine. (for example, click on the drive/folder properties and go to the sharing tab)

• After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer

  After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

  [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) viaControl Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of NIS 2011 (using your product ID, if need be) & reboot. CF. http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

• Cannot recognize the external hard drive.

  Have an iMac with Parallels and Windows SP installed Pro computer.  Until yesterday, when we had a power outage, I had a Verbatim external disk set on the Windows side of the machine that worked very well.  I the embroidery machine and I keep my drawings on this small hard drive and access it through a software on the side of my Mac Windows.  Since the blackout, my Mac does not recognize the Verbatim.  I tried the Verbatim on another pc and it works fine.  Turned on my Mac, is gone on the side of the window, plugged in the Verbatim... little popup appears asking if I want it on the Mac or my Virtual Machine.  I loaded Virtual Machine.  When I go to my program of embroidery and search the external hard drive, he doesn't "see" it.  Then a box comes up and says "do you want it disconnected from your Mac" and it must be removed by force of the virtual machine.  NOTHING WORKS.  It worked perfectly before and I can't figure out how to get my Virtual Machine (Windows) to recognize.

  Hi gloriajstitcher,

  Check if the disk is detected by plugging it into a different port.

• Could not access the external hard drive on the WRT610N

  I recently bought the WRT610N router and updated the firmware version 1.00.02 B10 on it. I also have a 500 GB WD Caviar Green hard drive in an external enclosure to Koutech EEC320. I wanted to connect my HD in a configuration server network via the USB port on the router.

  The first time I hooked it up, everything worked for the most part very well: I could go to the tab of storage on the utility line of router, put in place actions and other things. The problem was that I could not really give administrator rights to access the actions I put in place on the hard drive, so I couldn't change the files or anything like that. I would try to put in place the administrative privileges in the sharing settings, but they would never appear in the summaries of the part. I even tried to change the share name of the 'Default' which appears at random at one time, but this caused the group to disappear her privileges, and the 'failure' share to disappear (although the usefulness of reserves still the name for him) which means I can't do another flaw).

  I have reset the router to try to get the sharing by default return, but now whenever I try to access the storage in the router utility tab, I get a blank screen, so I can't recreate all the actions on my HD Plus, every tab I try to access after the who end up in a screen blank until I restart my browser where all is well until I try to access the store again. This happens even after resetting the router several times and even reinstall the firmware once.

  Any ideas on how to solve this problem in order to access and edit files on my hard drive through my network?

  Yay! I got 'Default' on my HD! Now, it would be great if I could add permissions to actions so I can add more readers...

• Cannot access 250 GB Toshiba USB external hard drive

  Hello

  I'm unable to access my 250 GB USB hard drive. It gives an error that it detects hardware & gives a pop for Cypress AT2LP RC58 driver & research updates on internet & then error is "cannot install the hardware, the hardware was not installed because the wizard did not find the necessary software."

  Any help will be much appreciated.
  Please let me know for any info.
  Thank you very much!!!

  Harish S

  Hello

  Seems that the external HARD disk drive cannot be recognized because of the driver problem.
  What you could do to disconnect the USB of ALL devices and open Device Manager.
  Then choose the display command, show hidden devices and uninstall all devices under USB controllers. Reboot the laptop.
  After restarting again the operating system must install USB drivers again and you could test whether the external HARD drive can be connected as well.

  I have goggled a bit and found a few interesting statement abut Cypress AT2LP RC58. It seems that the HARD drive is ok but sometimes the HARD drive cover and the interface connector would be malfunctions and so this problem would happen.

  But these are only suggestions if you want to try for Cypress AT2LP RC58 goggle and see for yourself.

• W510: How do I access my data from a failed hard drive after the failure of the motherboard

  I made a mistake and has paid for major .

  This error pouring a drink sweet on my laptop. I know, I know, my keyboard can and protect against damage caused by the spill, but it was a drink together. In any case, I panicked and shut down the system and it has upset and removed the keyboard. And be the impatient person that I am, I made what was probably the ultimate error. I do not give everything save a sufficient amount of time to dry and I tried to boot the system. There is my computer. Or at least I think.

  Symptoms: It began at the start, kept a beep, sometime just close and will start.

  In any case, I guess that my laptop went kaput. Now to the point of this thread. I had not been a recent backup and can't remember when the last backup was actually made. Assuming that my hard drive is ok, I want to get all my data, so I saw several options:

  -Send the system to a data recovery service where I will not pay less than $300, but probably 2 to 3 times what

  -buy an equivalent model laptop and put the HARD drive in there

  -by an external SATA hard drive enclosure and mount it via USB on another computer

  I bought a box external and assembled this evening. I had read about the data access of difficulty with a system non-Lenovo because of encryption of the data. I proved that by linking it to my work (a Dell) laptop and I couldn't access my data directories. If I have access to an another Lenovo Thinkpad, I'll be able to access the data if connected via USB? I had read that I can access the contents of disc hard if it is connected to an another Thinkpad, but I knew not that if it means that I have it connected via SATA connection or if there is work through the USB port.

  I'll appreciate any suggestions for accessing my data.

  Best regards!

  All,

  Thanks for the suggestions.

  I was able to recover my computer and all data on it.

  Just to describe what I have done, here are the details.

  Because of my concern about a failure of the motherboard, I bought a used/given new keyboard and an external SATA drive enclosure. I was not able to properly take possession of the car from my other laptop, but I was able to access the data in Mode without failure. With my data, I plugged the hard drive and the new keyboard in and started without problem.

  Thanks again,

• Cannot access the old document files and the account settings

  Access is denied.

  How do I reactivativate the account or at the very least, access to the files?

• Satellite A300 - cannot read the second HARD drive

  Greetings from the Spain,

  I got 1 month there is a serious problem with my laptop (which is 5 months old), associated with crcdisk.sys.

  I gave up after several hours studying, and send the computer serving techniques. (Vista was does not load and no recovery was possible)
  Technical services changed 1 hard drive and the motherboard (don't ask me why)
  This computer cams with 2 HD (these 2 devices)

  The first has a recovery partition.
  The problem now is that I see the second HD (D :) but I can't read or access it.)
  However, McAfee, it can scan and I can see the names of files (they were there before sending it to T.Service) during the scan.

  The only solution I have Toshiba is "send it back", but with the previous experience I've had with this guy, maybe now they put a new keyboard and wait another month...

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  _Update_

  Now I can read the second disc of Internet expolrer..., i.e. D:\documents... I read a few videos, I got there and seems to work.
  However, I cannot read with ordinary windows Explorer or cannot write files from any program.

  BTW. I can access from the Explorer, but just the files, i.e. d:\documents\letters, but not to the root?

  You have installed the laptop with the recovery disk? Try this!

  What operating system do you use? If you are using Vista control this information from Toshiba:

• Cannot start the new hard drive after clone on T61p

  I have a T61p which had a Hitachi HD of 100G.  I bought through Lenovo a Toshiba 500 G HD placed in the location of the laptop HD, put the old HD 100 G in an ultrabay adapter when we normally DVD drive and booted from a Clonezilla Live USB 4 G drive.  I made one device to device taking the detault options.  Seems to have worked without any problems.  I change all parameters of the pre box office IBM.

  BIOS is set to boot the HD in the laptop HD slot, then the HD in the ultrabay slot.  However, after start-up, it seems I'm now start from the old drive in the ultrabay adapter.  Windows Vista disk management shows the two discs, and it shows both drives, even with a score of 700M, then roughly a score of 93G.  The new HD has the rest of the unallocated space, which is ok since I use Vista or GPARTED to decompress.  The old HD has a flag "boot" game, and both car are "active".

  If I take the HD in the ultrabay outside housing, I get a black screen with a title of Manager of Windows startup with three options, then the error below:

  file: \windows\system32\winload.exe

  status: 0xc000000e

  DESC: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or damaged.

  I have googled and looked through this forum and found several hits, but I don't know what I see.  I saw where someone had used Norton Ghost with the - ib switch, but I have used Clonezilla.  Any ideas?

  ALSO, how can I know if I have successfully copied the pre box office IBM?  and if I have to put hormaux or people with reduced mobility, where could I do?

  Problem solved.  Since then I cloned the drive and which included the partition predesktop area/hidden from IBM, so with the old drive in the ultrabay being removed housing, I was able to start using the blue thinkvantage key when starting of the machine.  From there, I could run a repair that solved the problem.  Now, the new disc has the 'boot' flag and cannot be used for a startup in Windows Vista.

• Cannot see the USB hard drive?

  Hello

  I created a new XP Pro VM environment and everything seems great so far, however, one of my devices is an external USB hard drive (this is where lies the VMX file).

  Yet I do not see it as a connected device, it is not in the list of devices to be tied down to the machine virtual host?

  Why am I unable to see this device USB of the XP Guest VM and how to make it visible?

  Thank you

  1DMF

  1. NOT to assign a USB device to the virtual computer - at least, do NOT attempt to use the disk USB us talk

  2 instead of this, make sure that you configure network between the host and guest

  3. create Windows shares on USB drive

  4. access to this sharing of the Interior of the guest

  This will result in the host beeing the only system that accesses the USB directly - which is the only safe way to do

• MacBook retina cannot find the USB hard drive when it is plugged again

  Hello world

  I have a MacBook retina 2015 computers and a hard drive WD elements USB3 that I use as a Time Machine backup when they travel. The drive is plugged into the USB - C through one of the Apple dongles and when I first start the computer, the USB is mounted and that it appears on the desktop. He does everything very well.

  When I want to take the machine away, I eject it, wait for the secure message and then physically disconnect the drive. However, when I go back and reconnect the drive, the Mac did not see it. The reader will be able as the light comes on and I can hear it turn. Just, it is not mount and is completely invisible for MacOS.

  I checked all connections, even used another dongle - no luck. A disconnect does not set, and I tried to reset the NVRAM. So far, the only solution is to reboot the Mac, afterwards the player reappears - at least until I need to unplug it again.

  Anyone got any ideas what is underway and if there is a fix?

  Thank you very much

  Mike.

  Hello, Mike Richards2,.

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

  This is I think understand that you are not able to see an external hard drive when it is ejected, and then reconnect the computer.  I have some suggestions that I hope will help you.

  It is important to try to isolate what is responsible for this.  The first thing to do to help isolate what is causing the problem is to start the computer in what is called Safe Mode and see if the problem persists.

  Start in safe mode:

  1. Choose the Apple menu > shut down.
  2. After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.
  3. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
     You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.
  4. Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

  OS X El Capitan: start in safe mode

  Once the computer is running in safe mode, see if you can duplicate the issue.  If the problem does not appear, go ahead and try to reboot normally again.  If the problem has disappeared, it may have been caused by a problem of file or directory of cache fixed by booting in safe mode.

  If the question comes up, you'll want to check the login items.  Follow these instructions to remove the connection:

  OS X El Capitan: If you think you have incompatible connection points

  Remove the connection, restart the computer and see if the problem persists.

  Have a great day!
