• Western Digital elements Desktop 1.5 WDBAAU0015HBK to external hard drive F:------is not accessible? !

  Hello

  Anyone know how to get your hdd to work again?
  When I try to open the WD hard drive in, start - computer and then double-click the hard disk drive, I just that stand: F: \ is not accessible.

  I built my desktop computer, on my own, win7 64-bit SP1 included, MSI MB, 128 GB Crucial M4 main hard drive.

  * Have tried to reboot the computer, does not work.
  * Plug the WD hdd in my laptop 64 bit Win7, do not work, same error.

  In Disk Manager, I see that the drive works fine, and I see that it has the right amount of space, since the last time I used the hard drive.

  Which means that I prefer not to format the drive hard until I moved all my important files on another hard drive.

  But how can I contact with my Western Digital elements Desktop 1.5 WDBAAU0015HBK to external hard drive?

  Best regards

  Jocke

  Hi Jessica,.

  First things first: Let's try to save your files!

  Method 1: (take a look at the method 2 first before you start method 1, it is perhaps more to your tastes).

  Since you have to build your own PC I guess you are tech savvy enough to boot your PC in a Linux environment. I've seen many HARD drives that suddenly don't would not open in Windows more but normally open in an environment Linux like Ubuntu, Mint, DSL, etc. etc.

  • Enter a blank (empty) USB key.
  • Download Universal USB install.
  • Find a Linux distro to your tastes. Just take a look at Distrowatch or just go with my favorite version: Linux Mint and download the .iso image file.
  • Run the USB installation tool
  • Step 1 scroll down to Linux Mint 13 cinnamon (or the distribution chosen by you)
  • Step 2 Browse for the right .iso image file downloaded
  • In step 3, select the empty USB.
  • Start the process.

  When finished restart your PC with the USB attached. During startup, select the menu boot options and choose to boot from USB. Now boot Linux Mint. No installation required! : D

  When you arrived at the office, search your Western Digital HDD elements in 'computer '. Now hope and pray that it will open! If so: start copying all the files and folders immediately to another drive.

  When everything is save go in Windows and format of the WD hard drive. With a little luck, it'll work again. You'd better check the SMART data to see if the drive status.

  Method 2:

  Since the drive appears in disk management, try to make an image using a program like DriveimageXML or what you want. Once finished, try to read the contents of the image. If you are able to do this, you have just saved your data. Now format the WD hard drive. With a little luck, it'll work again. You'd better check the SMART data to see if the drive status.

  Good luck, Sebastian.

• The West WDH1CS10000 Digital My Book Home Edition 1 TB External Hard Drive

  After contacting a trojan virus, which I was able to get rid due to malware, my book was no longer recognized by my pc. It appears on the workstation

  as well as drive C, drive D, DVD RW drive e. Image Factory. My book came as F: drive but it does not open when I click on it. I disconnected and hung

  Once again, but with the same results.  It continues to blink and the Properties tab says it works correctly. Is it possible to reset it. I am a senior and can

  do a few things on the computer please keep things simple. LOL thank you for your time.

  Hi JackieFerrs

  It is possible that the virus has every firmware corrupted on that either its MBR (Master Boot Record). Unfortunately, the other means that your data is probably lost. But... before you'll start to panic please see below what you can do.

  Please visit this link: 'Western Digital My Book Home Edition 1TB_downloads' and...

  1. use the backup utility to backup your data if you have not done.

  2 use the software update on hard drive firmware update.

  3. use the software (all) link to download software for your Windows PC.

  4. download and install Drive Manager (if you wish).

  5. If still no luck on the connection that enables the link diagnostic tool to scan your drive for some questions.

  I hope this helps.

  All the best.

• When I try to install Firefox, I get an error "could not open the output file. I used Firefox before and it doesn't work anymore, so I uninstalled. Cannot re - install now.

  When I try to install Firefox, I get an error "could not open the output file. I used Firefox before and it doesn't work anymore, so I uninstalled. Cannot re - install now.

  This has happened

  Each time Firefox opened

  I tried to download firefox.

  User Agent

  Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; INTERNET EXPLORER 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; AntivirXP08; GTB6.3; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; MS - RTC LM 8)

  When you click on the download link on GetFirefox.com, you should be asked if you want to run or save the file. If this situation occurs when you try to run the download, try instead to record and put the file on your desktop or in a similar place, where you are certain that you can find.

  When the download is complete, try double-clicking on the downloaded file in the normal Windows Explorer (browse your way to the file from the desktop). This should start the installation.

  If, in the Explorer window, you notice that the file seems to be missing the Firefox icon orange/blue, right click the file and select Properties. The image should look like the attached picture (except that mine is in Danish, but that is irrelevant) if saved correctly - if it don't look like this, would you please describe the content or attach a screenshot of the box. Especially what it says under "File Type" - it must be 'program '. If this isn't the case, will have to focus on what could be the problem here.

  A bit off-topic, your Internet Explorer seems to be quite a bit outdated (IE 6, where the current version is IE 8), so I highly recommend that you try to run Windows Update to get your system up to date. Is it as a society (such as a thin client Terminal Server computer) system, this is not possible, and most likely, your system administrator will have to help you.

• Satellite U405 - S2833 Fingerprint error: could not open the sensor

  Hello, I am very new to the forums so I apologize in advance if I don't give all the necessary accurate information in this thread.

  I have a Toshiba U405-S2833 and it came with the TrueSuite Access Fingerprint Software.

  I downloaded an update a few days ago, but I don't remember if it's for Vista or Toshiba. Since then, my fingerprints were all removed from the system, and when I try re - save, I get this error message "error: could not open the sensor" I can't find the material to fix the sensor manually without going through the TrueSuite software.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  Thanks in advance

  I am also having the same problem.

  My boss uses a Satellite U405-2628 fingerprinting and with the sensor TrueSuite Access Manager. It worked fine, then I updated windows and it has stopped working. I was on the updates and noticed an update of TrueSuite and thought that maybe that was messed up things.

  Then there were other issues that went past me locked out of the machine (anti-virus and loss of relationship with the field... also my fault). So I decided to wipe the machine and install fresh Vista.

  I installed everything but the TrueSuite software still not able to open the sensor. After hitting my head on it, I decided enough was enough and I restored it using Toshiba recovery disks.

  It took a few hours and here I am logged in as administrator and the TrueSuite software still cannot open the sensor. I don't know what I can do, since it is to return to the factory settings.

  As the above poster said, HELP!

  Thank you.

  ... a little later...

  Well, I managed to do work, and this can be useful for some people out there since I found no easy answers. I can't guarantee anything, and it's really complicated... so here go us.

  First, I downloaded the latest update from Toshiba (util_fingerprint_27460A.exe) and nothing has worked.
  Then I uninstalled the sensor since (click right, uninstalled) Device Manager to uninstall the driver as well (it should invite you to do so)
  Then, still in the Device Manager, I scanned for new hardware and it came with my sensor. I said to look for drivers and when he could not find, I think it gave me an option for windows search for an answer... or something like that. He came back with a link to Authentec (www.authentec.com/win7update/w7wbf32.exe, I think). So I downloaded that and installed. He rose through the device under "Biometric devices" then before... I think it's under the "Personall security device" or something like that. But alas, still no luck. So I uninstalled all the device from the Device Manager (taking care of uninstalling the driver as well) and of the TrueSuite software. Then came the break I was looking for.

  Online research I came across this page... http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?action=download&driverid=1194755. I had the chance before to DriverGuide.com so I thought what the heck. It is a driver of HP for the same sensor and it is dated 2006. So I downloaded and installed. Still nothing...

  Disgusted, I thought, well let's try to install util_fingerprint_27460A.exe on top of that. So I did, restarted and I couldn't believe my eyes when he said to connect and register fingerprints not seriously. And so I did. I hope this helps people, I don't really know how the sensor I so messed up, but I'm glad it worked.

  Yet one thing... and this may be important. When I took TrueSuite first after doing all this, he told me that the storage of fingerprints was full... or something in that sense. So I clicked the button remove all traces of fingers button and it I would like to register my fingerprints. I'm starting to wonder if that was all I had to do in the first place... Guess I'll never know.

  Good luck.

• Satellite U300 PSU3DA: error: could not open the file attribute execution of concept maps

  I have a PSU3DA-U300 which I changed from Vista to XP.
  This is because my main computer use will be for navigation (boat) and I was told that most navigation programs will work better with XP. I have almost nothing on my laptop so far, and the system already seems to be slow and freezing too often.

  My question is now on the program of concept maps which I just installed and which does not open. He repeats to me "Eorror: could not open the file attribute.

  What does that mean? I uninstall and reinstall the program, and he comes back with this message.
  I had a glance at the Device Manager, and the only thing that seems incorrect is the PCI memory controller.
  I did a bit of research on this and it seems that this driver is not required for XP? Is this true?

  Would this be a cause of C-Maps program does not?

  Thanks in advance.

  > I did a bit of research on this and it seems that this driver is not required for XP? Is this true?
  Where did you read this info?
  I put t know if the driver is not required, but you get all the drivers on the Toshiba site.

  For your problem with concept maps, I think that it is best to contact you that support the conceptual maps. Here, this is a forum for Toshiba laptops.

• I've attached a scan to an email, but it says "could not open the file C:\users\My Windows\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows |" Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\TQDLSO1A\etc, etc.

  I've attached a scan to an email, but it says "could not open the file C:\users\My Windows\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows |" Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\TQDLSO1A\etc, etc.

  I'm probably not explaining my problem fairly - well, I scanned something in - I used Nuance Paperport.  I have it attached to an email and sent to six people - including myself.  I always open the attached file to make sure that the computer has sent the right thing.  When I tried to open the attachment I got the message "cannot open the file - I have already sent you."  I think that Norton Security got rid of the file I need.  I think I will contact them.  I tried to contact Nuance - but alas, my warranty has expired, so no help there unless I want to pay for it.  If I can't have the problem solved through Norton, I will contact you again.  Thank you very much for taking the time to try to help me.  Have a great Thanksgiving action!

  ================================================
  Your explanation was nice... that was my answer that failed.

  I was hoping that you would simply copy the scan of your temporary
  Internet files folder and paste it on your desktop. Then you might
  evaluate what is the problem. I thought that trying to open
  with such a long way email could be a problem. And also... it's possible
  be a file association problem. And it could be a matter of file size.

  I understand that you care why the attachment to the email
  failure and I think you need to find what is the problem with the scan
  before fastening will be successful.
