• Windows 7 64 bit does not recognize the Seagate Plus 2 TB external hard drive backup

  I am unable to get my laptop running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit to recognize my 2 TB Seagate external drive. Seagate tech suggests that I need a chipset driver-whatever that is. I tried many times to install Acronis DiscWizard, but get a fatal error message. I had no problem to install on my desktop and perform the backup. It takes also place W 7 Pro, but 32-bit. Help!

  I reformatted the drive on my desktop to make three partitions: one for my office, one for my laptop and a spare part for what I might need to. Then, I downloaded DiscWizard on Seagate website. It works on my desktop, but not my laptop. My laptop is a Vostro 3550 about three years, and I've never had other USB connection problems. I tried all three USB ports and none works. My office is older, about 6 years old.

  The error message is the following

  Installation failed

  Fatal error during installation

  When I tried to install DiscWizard. I wonder if the fact that my office is 32 bit and my laptop is 64 bit is a little difference. I installed first DiscWizard on my desk.

  Hello

  I have no idea of (external)? HARD drive drive do you have average but if the HARD drive does not work under Vista OS, then that means that the driver/software is not compatible with Vista OS.

  @stu

  Not because of the number of pixels, in this photo and the chosen level of quality there is no possible way to create a JPG file to the size of file you requested. You must change your export settings.

  Show us a copy of the export dialog box, so we can see clearly the part file setting and the size of the Image.

  Also indicate the number of this image (width and height) pixels after cropping (as appropriate) and prior to export.

  Hello

  I would really appreciate the help. I own a satellite 1800-712. I have receently bought a usb external hard drive for some extra memory (IE Toshiba MK4026GAX USB Device)

  I tried the external hard drive on a desktop pc and it works fine.

  I have downloaded all windows xp service pack updates and updated my bios. Don't know what to do now.

  Please help and thank you in advance!

  Hello

  Although sometimes, I know that the OS is not able to recognize the external USB device, because the device external USB (HDD) consumes more energy than the 500mA.
  The USB ports provide 500mA power and if the device needs more power so it s is not possible for the Windows operating system to recognize the external device.
  You have an external power supply for the USB HDD? You should use it.

  Good bye

• Why my XP does not recognize a Toshiba 500 GB USB external drive... it does not appear in disk management or in computer

  Bought a new Toshiba 500 GB drive external usb.  My XP desktop won't recognize/find this disc.  It does not appear when you view the disk management or work station.  I also have it on my new laptop (Vista) and it has been found immediately.  My research online only tells me to find the external drive in disk management and assign a drive letter to... but I don't think to assign a letter! Toshiba says that the drive is compatible with XP. I have another smaller disk capacity that work perfectly on the XP machine.  Please tell us what should I do to have my Office XP recognize the

  Three things that you have not yet mentioned are

  1. don't change you the registry suggested by the KB Article (see: a computer that is running Windows XP cannot detect a USB flash drive, an iPod from Apple or an external hard drive)?  I suggest do it manually instead of using the FixIt.

  2 represents the drive recognized in the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK)

  3 is the drive recognized in your BIOS (press the corresponding key on startup).

  Reformat to FAT32 was probably not necessary (and you'll probably want to re - format to NTFS before use).  XP has no problem with large (> 500 GB) external USB drives.

  Hi @db69613,

  First of all, programs of a different version or windows session will not work on another computer as it was installed on the computer of origin at this time. It is an installation and application software, to the difference of the data or information that is accessible by any computer when the hard drive is connected. It is because no software installation binds the application of this specific operating system installed on this specific to the time machine.

  If the computer does not and the hard drive is accessible, all the content (such as music, photos, videos, and other information are accessible), but the programs have been installed originally are not available and will not work on any other computer when it is connected to the outside.

  However, if the hard drive works fine, windows is correctly installed, then the same hard disk can be installed on another PC of office and some of the programs should work ideally.

• Windows 7 Pro Backup can not see my USB external hard drive.

  This seems to be an old problem, maybe someone has a solution:

  I have a Toshiba 150 GB NTFS USB 2.0 external hard drive I used as backup when I had XP, but now I have W7 Pro 64-bit (SP1), and the backup program is unable to see the player.

  It shows in Explorer, it works very well, has write permission, but is not in the list of Backup Options.

  Player is 18 months old. W7 found and installed the USB driver for it.

  It is wired, I don't have a network.

  In addition, Windows cannot format the drive.

  I changed the drive letter of that W7, named F to Z, no go.  All I see in the backup is C and the DVD player.

  It has been suggested that I have uninstall all the drivers USB and reboot and let Windows reload them, but I have a keyboard and a mouse USB, so if I do that has no way to control the computer.

  How can I make the visible external drive for the backup program? Any help is appreciated.

  I use Ghost on my 8 month, Toshiba Satellite L755 and have never seen a conflict.  I also have it on 3 desktop computers.  For antivirus I use AVG free on 3 systems, Symantec SEP on that and Norton Security Suite on the laptop (which I get for free from Comcast).  The only thing related to security, I see in the menu start from Ghost 15 is a small window to give people access to Ghost.  He also built in the feature called Threatcon, which I've never had any message of.  Here's the info of the construction in the help.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  ThreatCon is threat of Symantec early warning security system. When Symantec identifies various threats, the ThreatCon team adjusts the level of threat. This adjustment gives people and adequate warning systems to protect against attacks and data systems.

  When you activate the trigger of Symantec ThreatCon to a selected backup job, Norton Ghost detects changes in the threat level. Your computer must be connected to the Internet, at the time. If the ThreatCon level is reached or exceeded, the backup operation in which you have enabled Symantec ThreatCon is started automatically. You have then a recovery point to use to recover your data to your computer should become affected by the latest threat.

  Note:

  If your computer is not online, then it is not sensitive to online threats. But if you connect your computer to the Internet at any time, it becomes vulnerable. You don't have to enable or Disable Symantec ThreatCon when you go on or off line. Works if you're online, it doesn't matter if you're offline.

• Computer laptop XP does not connect to the broadband network.

  I'm trying to connect a laptop Medion XP to our fiber BB home connection using a Wi - Fi connection. However, our network (which uses the WSP) is not yet displayed in the list of available wireless networks. WSP n/w of that another neighbor (no fiber) is displayed (while I should be able to see several other networks). So I tried to connect the laptop to the router with an ethernet cable, but it still does not see the network. I checked this automatic dynamic DNS and IP addressisng is activated, and I installed the SP3 download first on my PC. However, this made no difference. Any suggestions please?

  Hi, thanks for your response.

  1. I talked to the ISP and excluded all router problem.
  2. There is only one other pc connected to the network. We connected the other phones before and never had a problem.

  According to me, it's that the laptop is old and may be damaged. A grumpy at work looked for me and we can't even get a wired connection works.

  Time it's bin and get a new one, I think!

  Thanks again.
