    Hello

    Windows 7 sometimes has trouble seeing external drives. Found one potential than me and other solution is to download and install the freeware Aomei Partition Assistant application, download it here: http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html?tag=mncol;1 (only use the Direct download link).

    Once installed, go to the readers in question and one both select and select Properties. It is her, no formatting or partitioning required. Just select the drive is often enough to get Windows 7 to recognize.

    Post your results here and let me know how you fare.

  • Starts the Powerbook g3 pismo of the external drive?

    Hello, all,.


    I want to start my Powerbook G3 (Pismo) running OS 9.2.2 since the restore in one disc external hard drive. (PB knows he has a drive hard internal , but the drive does not read discs in there.) The computer goes up the disc - its own restore disk - when it comes starts with Macintosh HD as a player start, but when I try to use the restore disc as commissioning, starts to drive to go up, but the door opens. Even if I hold the door closed, the computer starts low to halfway and glued in place: first, the question mark flashing, then commissioning with Macintosh HD but then freeze it.

    This happens even if I chose as the startup disk restore disk in the startup configuration panel. This means that I can't even begin to use disk utility to clean the hard drive of the computer. I did that with two other computers (reset several times), but those who had internal functioning disks. Is it possible that I can do this computer using the external drive as the boot? I read that the G3 Pismo that allows. I know I can get someone to take out the hard disk and smash, but I expect much prefer to destroy it myself. And I can understand how to remove the hard drive, but it seems to imply a boatload of maneuvers and some tools that I have, at the present time. I would not completely destroy the computer. It would be good for recyclers to be able to retrieve some parts, though they might be useful to someone.

    It is possible that I can't boot from the restore disc in the external drive, but maybe there's something that I have not yet tried. It seems crazy that the external hard drive with the restore disc appears on the desktop with a normal restart, and I can choose as boot drive but can't seem to complete commissioning. If anyone has any ideas on this subject, I would appreciate it a lot.

    Thank you.

    Jenny

    Are you trying to boot the PowerBook to an external optical drive that is connected to a USB port or your external drive connectivity FireWire?  If it is USB, that is the problem.  The reading of an optical drive connected by USB is one thing, but start since it is a different matter.  Unfortunately, your Pismo is not capable of this.

  • Could not open any project or external drive backup files

    Hello world

    The way I got things set up, is that my final cut pro project has been saved on the external drive. Whenever I open it, it picks up from the external hard drive. Recently, I had a power outage that stopped my external drive and crashed my FCP X. When I turned things on, I kept getting an error that the FCP closes unexpectedly. I have the option to ignore or to reopen. I tried to open my backups, but I get the same error. Sometimes he was telling me to save it to the internal drive and it would actually open, but I get a lot of lack of links to files. My mac doesn't have a lot of space, so I need to be stored on the external hard drive.

    I thought that maybe it's my sharing and permissions of the drive in the menu get info, then I have everything given access, but does not work. I tried trashing the preference of the FCP, but that did not work.

  • Problems copying very large folder to an external drive.

    The other day I tried to copy a far larger My Documents folder from the disk of Windows of a house system from XP to an external drive for backup.  He wouldn't let me.  I selected the folder of My Documents to copy, press Ctrl-C, then negotiated in the destination folder and press Ctrl + V.  What he did was simply created a shortcut to the folder destination.  However, I wanted the entire file to be copied.

    So I tried to use the Windows menu to do the same.  Then I noticed that the destination folder has the grey order dough and people with reduced mobility, but the paste shortcut command is available.  Finally, I had to create the new folder to destination and you drag the subfolders on.

    I tried to re - create the scenario on another computer with another external drive today.  I couldn't do it.  Could someone tell me under what circumstances this collage is not possible?  How can I overcome the problem outside of what I've done or through a DOS prompt?

    I discovered copy Document my folder must copy in the actual file.  We can find the actual file in the my documents properties.

    That's the ANSWER.

  • 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
    is the new external hard drive.  E-mail address is removed from the privacy * or * address email is removed from the privacy *.

    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.

  • Install Windows 8 on external drive Thunderbolt - Windows could not prepare the computer to begin the next phase of installation

    Hi all

    I'm at my wit's end trying to install windows 8. Let me start at the beginning: I used to have windows running on my Mac Pro ssd internal 8.1, installed via bootcamp. It worked well for a while, and then refused to start, gives me a blue screen KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE. Despite some advice from lonely T, I was unable to fix and ended up wiping the partition and relocation, again via bootcamp. Yet once again, it worked for a few months, then the same problem. I made this one last time, and it only lasted 2 days... So I gave bootcamp.

    I think that the hybrid MBR partition scheme that implements bootcamp is the culprit, but I don't really have evidence to substantiate this claim. In any case, I tried to install windows in EFI mode. (If I understand correctly, the hybrid MBR is set up to allow windows to install in legacy BIOS mode, but that windows 8 may now install efi, which supports my Mac Pro mode.) My Mac is the new Mac Pro (end of 2013, trash in shape), and I can say short UEFI 2.0 (I have the latest efi update from apple installed).

    The method I'm trying:

    1. create a new partition in HFS + on my external drive using disk utility. The drive has now it's efi partition and partition empty 750Go I want to install windows a 1.25 TB storage partition that I use with my mac. It has a GPT. I formatted HFS + and no FAT, because I think that disk utility creates the same hybrid-MBR as training camp every time a FAT partition is created.

    2. use gdisk to confirm that the disc does not have a hybrid-MBR. (sudo/dev/disk1 gdisk watch MBR: protection)

    3 restart my mac and hold the possibility to put in place to bring up the boot efi menu.

    4. Select the EFI_Boot DVD icon (that's the windows 8 install dvd that I have in my superdrive USB drive)

    5. go in the menus of the disk selection screen installation and delete the partition in HFS +, I created to install windows on (the format option is not available)

    6. now select "Unallocated space" on the good drive and click Next.

    The problem:

    Partitioning seems to go ok (there is no feedback on this basis, but it proceeds to the next screen, and all new partitions expected are there if I check diskutil list later). He said it is "copy of windows files", but then stops with the error "Windows has no prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation." To install Windows, restart the installation. "If I restart, I can start the same process all over again and get the same result.

    The Question:

    How I get this error and get windows install?

    Extra pieces:

    • The first time it happened I assumed it was the new sip / thing "without roots" in El Capitan, causing problems, then I disabled, but I still get the same error.
    • After reviewing the diskutil list output after one of installs it without success, I found that a labeled EFI partition has been created after my storage partition (the original efi partition was still there in the upper part of the disc).
    • I have windows 8.1 installed now bootcamp on my internal ssd. It was planned to use it and winToUSB to put windows on my crush, but I found that it only works with usb2. I do not have installed could cause problems with the installation on another disk.
    • Before say you I can't run windows on an external, yes you can, and many people have. I read windows sees thunderbolt internal disks.
    • I read a few other posts on this and other sites on this problem, but could not find a pertitnant solution to my situation. I found one that suggested to remove the efi on my disk partition, but that seemed like a bad idea, so I didn't try.
    • I write this at 1 in the morning after a day spent in front of the computer trying to get this working, so please excuse typos typing or other. I am pleased to provide you with any pertinant information helping you will help me.
    • Thank you!

    The other thing I tried also almost succeeded:

    Although I prefer to get the method above works, because it seems the most promising, is something else, I've tried that I thought worth mentioning. If you offer advice pertaining to this method rather than the above, I would appreciate it if you could explicitly declare that at the top of your answer. Thank you.

    I tried to install windows on the physical disk using vmware and virtual box. The instrutctions I followed for this can be found here: http://www.andrewsavory.com/blog/2011/2156 (the only thing different, it's because it's on an external drive, I created the Fat 32 partition manually using disk utility). The first time (using vmware) installation seems to go off without a hitch, but I couldn't get my computer to see the windows partition as bootable with the boot efi menu hold-option regular refined or with system preferences-> startup disk. I think that I was using always inadvertently a hybrid-MBR at this stage. I tried to repeat this new beginning with the first two steps above to avoid the hybrid-MBR. But now when I try to create the virtual machine based on the gross vmdk, it starts to copy the files then says not sufficient permissions and fails. I don't know if it's a permission with the disk or the hard problem. I tried chmod 777 and chown $USER of the vmdk disk (/ dev/disk1s3) does not.

    Wow, that was a long post...

    1. when a second drive is detected by the Windows Setup program, he wants to create his own brand of EFI (104 MB) and not to mess with the Mac EFI (200 MB). You can force it to use the EFI to the Mac using Diskpart commands.

    2 instead of HFS/FAT32, create a piece of 750 GB free space and it should only get a new MSR/MSD, without the part of EFI.

    3. on your VM method, the link you have is quite old. You have a MP 2013, with references to the 2010 Mac alumni and is a bit too archaic to be useful. http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/install-a-Windows-7-partition-on-Mac-OSX-Wit hout-optical-car-or - usb.1836959 / #post... seems to work for many and can be useful for a test. It also uses Winclone.

  • To access the files on Western Digital MYBOOK 500 GB external drive

    I'm on a PC running Svc Pack 3 Windows XP and had a Western Digital MYBOOK 500 GB external drive connected works very well and
    then I moved my PC set-up to another room and my problem began.

    When I turn on the system detects now the MYBOOK so I sent a message to Microsoft and received the following response:

    A computer that is running Windows XP cannot detect a USB, an Apple iPod flash drive or an external hard disk drive.
     
    YET, if I unplug the power of the MY BOOK and plug it back... it is now fastened on my system than the 'G' drive and I can open it, see the directory of the file but cannot open or access data.
     
    Also, once it is detected, I get the message balloon of text to the following address:
    Windows - delayed write failed
    Windows was unable to save all the data for the file G:\$Mft.
    The data has been lost. This error can be caused by a failure
    your network connection or computer hardware. Please try
    to save this file elsewhere.
     
    And when I click on a specific file I get another message
    The path for the file name G:\1Dons (2) \5Funstuff (2) \cmptrguy.ppt is not valid
    Please check that the path and the name are correct.
    "WHAT CAN I DO TO HAVE ACCESS TO THESE FILES - IT ' S ALL MY CURRENT WORK GIRLS ACTIVE
     

    Looks like you have a corruption of the data on your disk/file system.  Once you are able to mount as a drive letter, try to perform a check of the disk drive.  The procedure accelerated this:
    Double-click "My computer"-> right click on the drive-> properties-> tools (tab)-> click 'Check now'--> check that the two options-> start.

    or follow the procedure here:
    "How to perform disk error in Windows XP check"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265 >

    Please keep in mind that it can take more than two hours to perform according to the size of the disk and the amount of corruption and if they're using USB1, 2 or 3.  In cases where corruption is bad, sometimes this can make matters worse so if you can back up all the files in the first place, do.

    The one and only true definition of a 'Important file"is"a file has been saved.

    Check the drive on another computer, if the problem is the same, try using another cable or hard drive case. If this is not the case, see the link below, if it helps:

  • External drive USB 500 GB PX1394E burp and more

    Since yesterday, my external 500 GB Toshiba USB drive burp more.
    The LED becomes red instead of blue when I turn it on. Needless to say that my entire CD collection is on it, so it is quite a mess.

    What are my options now?

    I bought the external drive in Germany, a little less than a year ago, model Toshiba PX1394E - 3 50.
    Stupidly, I can't find the receipt anymore, so it won't help if I just bring it back to the shop.

    Where Toshiba can I apply for?

    How can I open the case to see if the drive is broken, or just the USB interface?
    The enclosure has two small screws, but by unscrewing seems to have no effect, it seems that they are just to fix a foot plate support.

    Help, please! It is a nighmare!

    Thank you kind
    Ulf

    > How can I open the case to see if the drive is broken, or just the USB interface?
    Don t what a controller can be broken. If something is broken, then this might be just the HARD drive.

    If the HARD drive burp more then the hardware failure is possible and only a replacement can help you. Stupidly that you can't find the verification of sales because it is necessary to get a replacement under warranty
