• 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

  NOTE: Do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

  7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate (Norton) until you get a prompt "no update more".

  8. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 & run the difficulty.

  9. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run that set it by DEFAULT and modes and AGGRESSIVE. [1]

  10. restart once again & test.

  NB: Installation KB971029 disables AutoRun/autoplay on USB connected but not 'brilliant media' external drives (i.e., CDs & DVDs). See http://blogs.technet.com/b/msrc/archive/2011/02/08/deeper-insight-into-the-security-advisory-967940-update.aspx

• Restore an external hard drive

  Hello
  
  I can restore old rman backup on external hard drive with USB3? the database size is 430 GB.
  
  Thank you.

  I've never tried, but I hope that the answer is no.

  I did, and unfortunately, the answer is 'Yes' ;-)

  RMAN has not all opinions on where you restore your backups, as long as there is addressable space in your system (which is mounted with a path or a letter, depending on your operating system).
  However, I would not do this on a production system, only for the creation of backup/recovery audit/development system.

• How to restore Toshiba external HARD drive information system?

  I use macbook aluminum. When I insert my Toshiba Portable External Hard Drive 320 GB (ext. HDD 2.5 ") 3 on my laptop the time machine automatically ask me if I want to use the hard drive as backup. I accidentally said yes and allow him to erase all information from the hard drive and now my only computer can read the disc hard and another laptop / pc can't read.

  As it can store my files, but may not transfer and open on any other computer besides mine.

  So where can I re-download or reinstall back my Toshiba Portable External Hard Drive 320 GB system information (ext. HDD 2.5 ") 3 so that other computer can read?

  Please help me, bought just for 2 days.

  Hello

  I m not sure but I think to me it s no longer tied to your laptop and has nothing to do with Toshiba. Maybe you use the file system that can be read by other computers (Windows)?

  If you connect to the Windows computer, you can see the disk in disk management?

• 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.

• Return additional ups cannot find my external hard drive.

  Windows back Ups to run without problem. I put them to run every week and save them to an external hard drive. In recent times the first (full) backup works but additional back weekly, ups can't find my external hard drive even if the settings have not been changed and the first aid found without problem. I use Vista Home Premium.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks John

  I suggest avoid you the Windows backup program and you get a good commercial backup program. This forum meets for a windows problem reports. I know that I was very impressed when I tried it. Two, I'm familiar with and like Norton Ghost (which I use for 7 years without the 1st problem), and Memeo, which has a 30 day free trial and you can buy it for $29.99 - you can download it from

  http://memeo.com . You can get Ghost for almost nothing (like me), if you look at the sales.

  CNET has a lot of reviews of backup program to

  http://download.cnet.com/windows/backup-software/?tag=contentBody;sideBar .

  Some of them are free (the last time I checked there over 300), some have free trials (more), and some are buying only (more than 200).

  Good luck

• Cannot find my external hard drive in file Explorer

  I can find my external hard drive in the Manager, but not when I go to computer

  This usually means that Windows 7 think that the drive is not partitioned or formatted.  This usually happens as a result of any material event on the external device.  The hard drive itself or the case could fail.  What causes this is:

  1. overheating
  2. a bad USB disconnection
  3. Shock, like a drop of water

  If you need to replace, you will find a few tips here: http://canadiantech.info/?page_id=213

  You should be able to re-partition and / or reformat the disk, but all will be lost that was stored on it.  The tools to do this are in computer management, disk management.

• Cannot open my external hard drive

• Windows 7 cannot see my external hard drive, even if I don't use it on this computer!

  I have 2 external hard drives, both worked well on Windows 7. Now, on the same computer, no change, they stopped from within the computer. Drivers fine and visible in the devices. all ideas

  Hello Gus,

  Windows 7, having trouble finding external drives is not uncommon. I use Aomei Partition Wizard to get Windows to recognize the drive; Download here: http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html?tag=mncol;1 .

  Once installed simply click on the external drive, and then select Properties. Who should get the drive recognized by Windows. See if that solves the problem for you.

  Kind regards

• Cannot access an external hard drive lost, encrypted BitLocker recovery key and do not know where to enter the password to unlock it.

  I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-Bit on a Sony Vaio. Worked great, seems awsome and rolls GOOS GOOS, for a new operating system. I decided to use the BitLocker feature that I wanted to use from Vista Ultimate, which was incredibly dificult unlike BitLocker in Windows 7, which is extremely simple to use. So simple in fact, I encrypted my external hard drive Verbatim 160 Gig where the original BACKUP files are with ALL my original documents, settings and files of the company are located. I haven't used a USB key, or don't have I recorded the RecoveryKey, I printed and completely loses it, I remember perfectly well the password I used. Problem is I have NOW, I can't ACCESS MY HARD DRIVE! When I try to access the hard drive it asked me not the password recovery key. Please help me, im in deep poopie. I wish I could change the world, if only I could find a diapper big enough to hold so many things...

  Hey thanks for the reply Kev, but I must say that I did and didn't. The new Windows 7 operating system has this feature built-in and it is much easier to use. So yes I did it, but I made using windows 7 have where, instead of download all the files, I just insert the original DVD of WIndows 7, I restart my PC and follow the instructions of recovery of BitLocker recovery key, and voila. The problem is that I've NEVER stored on this particular external hard drive recovery key. BTW: I tried to follow the steps mentioned by Mr. Vijay but inconsistent tool with my operating system (Windows 7 64-Bit) it only works with Vista (not 150 percent certain but close). Please correct me if Im wrong. I wish I could change the world, if only I could find a diapper big enough to hold so many things...
