• Backup of Assistant - Placement of files on external hard drive (WD Passport)

  I've recently backed up all my photos, videos and music files on an external hard drive (WD Passport) using the Microsoft Backup Wizard.  In the past I had used WD Sync or Dmailer Sync, but I wasn't able to find my files anywhere, don't know why. If anyone knows why let me know, but my question is...

  When Microsoft Backup Wizard saved my files from my PC to my external drive it placed the files in an array of files (backup folder 1, Folder 2 Backup, etc.), then you must go through a table of records in the records to access my files.  Files were not arranged in the same folders/fashion as they were on my PC. Is there anyway that I can do so that I can find my files on the external hard drive faster or easier?

  Any information would be helpful.

  Thank you very much.

  Unfortunately, this is how Microsoft Backup works under Vista.  If you need to do a restore, it should bring it back to their original location (not all jumbled up like they are in the backup).  I do not know why this happens, but that's what we have to live with this product.  Products Microsoft Backup (in pretty much all of them) are not the best on the market and have quite a few gaps which we hope will be addressed in the future and updates or distributions.

  A lot of people don't like Microsoft Backup and Restore Center and choose a 3rd party product to make backups (I don't - but have judged several times when I encounter problems or read on the problems here in these forums).  The one I heard most frequently recommended (and recommend) is Acronis True Image http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/.  I don't know it it solves this problem, but it comes with a free trial version so you can check for yourself without any risk.

  Regarding the search for your missing files for WD Sync or Dmailer Sync, if you know the names, we do a THOROUGH system search (a regular search search locations and file types in the index, and they may not be there - have you checked all the programs to see if they made an entry there for their backup functions).  Here's how: to search the entire C: drive under Vista go to start / search and type in ' or '. As you type, you'll see two hyperlinks appear just above where you type and we'll search everywhere.  A click on it.  Who will do a fast indexed search and bring up a dialog box.  Click on advanced search.  Click the drop-down location and find the C: drive and click on it. Check the box "include not indexed, hidden and system files (might be slow).»  Then click on search.  You will now search your entire hard drive to the specified file.  And Yes, is not a very effective way to search the entire disk for a file but this is how it is done under Vista (and it does not search the entire disk).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Windows Vista does not recognize my external hard drive, Eagle Consus AND-CS2PSU2-BK

  I have an HP Presario laptop running Windows Vista and it does not recognize my external hard drive, or my flash drives.

  I have an external hard drive Eagle Consus AND-CS2PSU2-BK.  It worked fine on my desktop, which works on XP.  I plug it to my computer laptop and nothing.

  When I plugged it in the first place, he says that he needed to download the drivers.  I clicked 'ok' to automatically download drivers and a few seconds later, he said that it successfully completed the driver download/install.

  I look under the drives in my computer and he's not here.

  I went to start, right click computer, left you click on Manage and double-clique then under storage disk management.  All I see are C drive and recovery disc (D).  No other drives displayed.

  I exitted who and set up the Control Panel, double click on Device Manager.  He said in the other topic peripheral USB to ATA/ATAPI bridge.  I don't know whether or not it is my external hard drive.  It indicates the Type of device: Other Devices and under device status it says: "the drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28).  This operation requires an interactive window station.  To reinstall the drivers for this device, click on reinstall the driver. »

  He asks if I want to reinstall the drivers, so I clicked that.  He couldn't find them / install them.

  Still, I don't know if USB to ATA/ATAPI bridge is still linked to my external hard drive.

  Help, please.  The same thing happens when I try to plug a flash/USB.

  Try this:

  In the right click 'USB to ATA/ATAPI bridge' Device Manager under the other devices section, click unsintall or press the delete key. Reset with the connected hard drive it must be reinstalled, but under the USB controllers. Make sure the device works on the other computer cable can also go to bad.b

• How can I change the permission of my external hard drive from tours and write "without formatting?

  My Toshiba external hard disk format was automatically replaced Windows NTFS after I had plugged on a Windows PC. Therefore, the permissions of the drive changed to 'read only' to "read and write" after that I used on my Mac. It happened once before and I remember the engineer on duty in an apple authorized service center had solved the problem without format the external hard drive. This is not an option for me now as well, but all the solutions, I looked to say online that the formatting of the disc is the first step. Help, please!

  Install software such as Paragon NTFS on the Mac.

• Disconnected (removed) external hard drive still exploring and using drive letter - how to remove?

  Dear community,

  I recently removed an external hard drive of my computer laptop windows 7, I guess it was not not ready to 'remove Saveli' it at that time. The hard drive itself is fine, but the icon remained in windows Explorer because it is disconnected. I manually assigned the drive letter Q on the drive before, and it always appears like that, since this disconnect. When I click on it, there is of course a mistake ("Q is not accessible. "Access denied"). When I plug the hard drive it is listed in another letter (E), the 'Phantom' to Q drive is not affected by it at all.
  It (the ghost drive) does not appear in the computer/disk management manager and I can also not reassign the letter Q on the original hard drive (or any other - is not in the list!).
  I would use the letter Q again to the hard drive (my paths and associations of are consistent) and want to get rid of the ghost car. Any ideas how?
  Thanks in advance,
  Philipp

  FYI
  It's great that the problem corrected itself, but for general reference or other who can run in the ii, how to fix a ' stuck or ghost hand "is to remove its entry in the registry key below and then open a new market or restart.  This problem is relatively rare, but sometimes and still does not resolve itself.
  (Note this drive letter Q is used by Office, click Run and sometimes mysteriously appears for this reason, unlike your situation.)

• Why import AVCHD properly storing sequences map (SD card) while the same images completely transferred to an external hard drive imports only the video with no audio?

  I shoot on a Sony Alpha a65 and it uses AVCHD when recording. I have not met this problem before.

  I transferred the entire contents of a memory card on my external hard drive.

  I tried to import the images from the hard drive, both using the import media browser-only video clips are imported with NO AUDIO.

  I thought that I had corrupted images as my memory card was images of two different rods. I turned one on 2 October and the other on 15 Oct (approx.).

  HOWEVER: I then tried to import directly from the SD card - and it worked! Audio, video and all.

  I can change this being, of course, but it's a concern I have obviously can't keep the SD card only for this sequence forever - and backup to external hard drive will not audio. That might mean that I won't be able to pick up on it in the future, if necessary.

  Can you help solve this problem – that is, with the film which is not imported correctly from the external hard drive or why something is lost in the transfer - and explain why this happens?

  Please note: I tried marqueeing everything and do drag and drop, as well as select and drag / move, when you transfer the images from the SD card to the external hard drive. I'm using a Lacie Rugged 1 TB (firewire option).

  Maybe there's a hidden system files that are not copied.  You have "View hidden files" enabled and "do not show system files" in the Folder Options disabled?

• Problem with Lightroom and external hard drive. Files and folders deleted.

  In the classroom (8.1 windows computers) import us images that .dng files on an external hard drive using Lightroom.

  After the Lightroom, insert us the memory card containing photos and attach an external hard drive. (formatted to ntfs)

  We create a new catalog on the external hard drive and then create a folder as the destination for the images on the external drive as well.

  After passing to the newly formed catalog in Lightroom, we import the photos from the memory card to the external hard drive.

  Photos are present in the folder 'import' on the external hard drive after the end of the import, so checking with windows Explorer.

  After the closure of LR and disconnect the external hard drive of the computer, it appears that the newly created files and imported files have disappeared.

  We tested with an external hard drive in exfat. The same problem.

  There is no problem when you copy directly in Explorer windows of memory card files to the external drive.

  The files are not hidden. Tested on mac and windows.

  If you said that the photo files are on the external hard drive when you checked using Windows Explorer during the class? Is this correct? YES
  Then you go home and the files are not on the external hard drive? YES

  Well, it is a mystery, but there is no way that Lightroom can be the culprit.

  Is it the same for the catalog file, in class, he was present on the hard disk according to the Windows Explorer, and when you get home, is no longer on the drive? YES

  Same conclusions, it is not Lightroom.

• I want to copy files from one external hard drive to another and can not?

  Hello

  I try to copy the photo files and video from one hard disk to another.

  The donor 2 TB drive is formatted NTFS and the receiver is 1 TB OSX extended.

  There are about 72 000 photos and 475 GB in size. The 56 video about 226 GB files copied with some lacks but then make drag and drop made the other files of 5 or 6.

  I tried to drag and drop, but some files have been copied not. After a lot of research through what was had been transferred I found about 5,000 had not copied I then did drag and drop with each of the 20 files or if some copied OK.

  The troublesome files kept suggesting that a file "already exists" and stops the process when I clicked ok.

  I want to delete the NTFS drive and reformat for OS X extended and then replace them on the 2 TB drive.

  What I am doing wrong? Need me a software to copy?

  Select the drive in the disk, then Edit/restore utility and select your 2 TB drive in restoration since. This will probably reformat the external hard drive, erase all data.

• External hard drive creates folders and files and lose the music I synced to it.

  I've been struggling with my 8 GB Clip +, which is the same thing my old 4 GB Clip + has. It creates files SID and incorporate in the album folders. Renamed it with records of the characters of 8 or 9 (alpha and digital) at the beginning of the file name, and some of the music I download does not exist when I disconnect the player and it refreshes. It does this for MP3 AND WMA files, if I use Media Player or Windows Explorer.

  I loaded all my WMA files on the internal hard disk (that works absolutely perfect), responsible for MP3s ONLY on the external hard drive and got the same result. The external hard drive has been reformatted, there is no debris of what anyone to spoil things. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  So after spending most of my Sunday with my 8 GB Clip + and its 8GB external drive, I found that the problems mentioned previously disappear if opt you for USB mode MSC. I was then able to transfer MP3 and WMA using Windows Media Player or Windows Explorer. I even got to explore open and hung out and deposited the files in window Media Player sync. Very Cool! Also, when I tried to copy something that she already had, he said that the case was already transferred. Amazing! In the past, it should continue to record the same.

  Although I must say that a WMA file problem: some of the music files were not correctly identified and is not 'stick' to the albums they came from. But a search for individual songs revealed they were always there, even if the Sansa could not "identify the album they belong to.

  I hope this helps others. At the end of the day, my advice is: If you have an external drive, the USB MSC mode, and you won't have any major problems - just a few small, boring ones.

  And thanks for the two of you who responded to my original post. Yes, the player has been on auto-detection mode - not good.

  Disconect all external devices, visit your site from PC manufacturers, or the manufacturer of the motherboard if a generic desktop computer and ensure that all drivers have been updated.

• The message to reformat my external hard drive each time that I start

  Original title: formatting of disks

  I have a HDD external and suddenly whenever I turn on computer... I wonder if I want to format my drive (external). I don't understand why all of a sudden I'm wondering this and I don't know what formatting a drive exactly means... did I lose my data

  Formatting a drive he is preparing for first use on a computer system.  Re-formatting a disk that has already been used will wipe everything on it.

  The fact that you are prompted if you want to format suggests that the PC think the disc needs formatting - which probably means that the disc is either corrupt or failing
  Double-click my computer on your desktop, right-click on the disk problem.  Select properties and select the Tools tab, and then select check now to get Windows to check the drive for errors.   (The foregoing may be slightly different depending on your version of windows - you told us.)
