• Cannot use disk utility to create the partition of the free space on the external USB drive.

  I have a red 3 TB Western Digital drive in a USB hard drive docking station.

  The reader is GPT, and I have two volumes on it (a single volume is "Microsoft reserved", another volume is NTFS).

  The other part of my drive is 1.5 TB of free space. I want to create a new partition with free space so that I can put backups Time Machine encrypted external hard disk.

  I checked free space on the drive with my Windows machine:

  
  DISKPART> list disk
  
  Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
  
  -------- ------------- ------- ------- --- --- 
  
  Disk 0 Online 167 GB 20 GB
  
  Disk 1 Online 465 GB 0 B *
  
  Disk 2 Online 2794 GB 1526 GB *
  
  DISKPART> select disk 2
  
  Disk 2 is now the selected disk.
  
  DISKPART> list part
  
  Partition ### Type Size Offset
  
  ------------- ---------------- ------- -------
  
  Partition 1 Reserved 128 MB 17 KB
  
  Partition 2 Primary 1267 GB 129 MB 
  
  DISKPART>
  

  DiskPart displays 2 partitions - a 128 MB and the other GB 1267 with 1526 MB of free space.

  I took the hard drive of my MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 and pulled towards the high disk utility, but for some reason, that it does not resemble the disk utility it is to see the free space, so I can't create a new volume.

  Here are a few screenshots:

  ... of the physical disk in disk utility (notice how it doesn't seem be all unallocated space on the disk to create a new volume):

  

  ... of the NTFS volume in disk utility:

  

  ... of information for the drive in disk utility:

  I'm a new Mac user. My company recently gave me a Mac, so the first thing I want to do is to create a new partition on this external USB drive to put backups Time Machine figures on it.

  In the research I did find a way to do it on a mac computer without erasing the drive and starting over. But you can go to your windows computer and partition the free space of disks. Then use the mac to set the free space as mac os extended journaled. Here's what I found. http://www.PCWorld.com/article/2066191/how-to-partition-a-hard-drive.html the only other way would be to copy the file on the external drive, somewhere, so you can delete it and re partition for windows and mac. Then reinstall windows files. I'm not familiar with windows systems.

• Disable the external USB drive autoplay function? Windows 7 Pro.

  I have two external USB drives connected to my computer. Whenever I start, an AutoPlay window will appear for each reader, asking me what I want to do with it. It gives 2 choices "Open folder to view files", or "View more AutoPlay options in the Panel". If I choose to view more AutoPlay options, my USB keys do not appear at the bottom of the AutoPlay under devices. I want to continue to use AutoPlay for my CD/DVD players, but I want to stop AutoPlay Windows popping up whenever I start the computer. It's frustrating to have to click the X on both of these windows, whenever I start the computer.

  Any suggestions?

• USB recording - requirements for the external USB drive

  What are the requirements of a USB drive to be recognized by the TV?

  I tried two now, which are visible on television to show the media, but are recognized by the TV to be used as USB recording space.

  You are talking about a TV, but no one knows which TV camera, you mean if you n t provide any information about the model.

  However, this information should always be available in the TV s manual.
  Most importantly, you will find also information that it s not guaranteed to work with all USB HDD.

  I use a 32GB memory flash stick shape shift or program record and never had any problems.

• external USB drive not seen

  Hello

  I just bought a Readynas RN212 as a replacement for my Duo (v1). But the external USB drive (Toshiba 2.5 inch, ext3), that I used as backup for my Duo and always worked perfectly, is not recognized in the RN212.

  I have ssh - ed at the RN212 and did a manual mount: mount-t ext3/dev/sdb1/mnt which worked. The player ends up in/run/udev/data.

  Any idea what's going on?

  Kind regards

  Eric

  Hello espakman,

  This USB has data on the volume of your old Duo? If it is possible to format, use the NTFS system.

  If it contains all the data, it's that it may be preferable that you contact support for the RN212 so it can be verified from the backend.

  Kind regards

• Portege Z930-118 does not recognize the external USB CD/DVD drive

  The CD/DVD device does not even appear at all in Device Manager.

  Hello
  I m not very well how to help you.

  I found some information about this WEIRD disc and it seems that he didn't need an external power supply. Its USB bus powered so I guess around 500mA power since it is the default value provided by a USB 2.0 port.

  I don t think that there is a problem of missing software. It is a plug n play device so you need to connect it to the USB port and the system should automatically recognise.

  From my point of view of the few you try to connect the external USB ODD two ports to aid a * Y * Cableusb.
  I think the reader needs more power provided by a single USB port.

• How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed?

  Original title: I need a market to resolve the problem remove the instrument.

  How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed? I have closed all other programs and waited for varying amounts of time, and tried all of the fixes that have been proposed on this site. Nothing works. I don't want to turn off the computer whenever I have to remove the device.

  I can't know what "all patches" you've tried, but:

  Make sure that the system restore does not monitor the external drive.  SR does need to control the system drive and to the system drive, SR has only about 1 GB of space max.  Make a right click my computer and select properties then the System Restore tab to configure SR.

  Make sure that the Indexing Service is turned off (at least for the external drive).  To disable disk indexing completely, which will also speed up your computer a bit, see http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp.  For the external drive, right-click on the drive icon in my computer, select properties and uncheck the indexing disc

  There are different workarounds short to shut down the computer, but you might want to try this third-party app first:
  http://safelyremove.com/index.html  Among other features:

  The device cannot be stopped now. Why? Never encountered the situation when Windows does not allow you to remove a device? Unlike Windows, USB remove will show you programs which prevent the device to be stopped and let you close these programs or just files that they opened on the device.

• When the computer is turned off to stop is no longer the Vista 64 external USB Drive (SeaGate/Maxtor)

  Vista 64 - bit SP2. TB external Maxtor OneTouch 4 drive, worked well, now he wants to run continuously. The USB disk drive does not stop when I go through the steps to Remove material for it, then shut down the computer normally. Or the last step of the computer stops the disk external closing. Now the external hard drive keeps spinning, I don't know about the heads of read/write being parked or not and the white light comes on. This disk is used for the storage of photos; 30 backups; and several databases. I can't wait to have the drive platters turning 24 x 7, and I can't confirm that the read/write heads were parked safely. The error message associated with this question is below in bold. The player is now like the rabbit, continuous running.

  Diagnosis of Maxtor for this drive have been executed successfully.

  Maxtor check driver indicates that the driver is the most recent.

  Device driver Vista says the car is fine. I checked that the drive can read and write. Different backups have been recorded on this disc. I have not tried a restore because of this problem.

  Maxtor says that there is not any change in firmware pending for this drive.

  Seem like a command to close jammed somehow being sent on disk.

  Apparently the Maxtor One Touch USB Device, property, to optimize for quick removal of the external drive, you just completely shut down the computer and the external hard drive finished last (no need to use the hardware logic safely remove). The other option here is "optimized for performance (you must use the material logic safely remove) to turn off the player."

  These flags are defined in the Device Manager-online records-online Mass storage Drive L:

  Anyway, you try to stop the external hard drive, it will fail with the following error message:

  "Windows can't stop your 'Generic Volume' device because he's busy." Try again later. " Or a statement to this effect."

  The only software running when the error is Vista 64 bit and the logic of trying to stop the player.

  Thanks for any help you might be able to offer. Bill Sullens

  Hi Bill,

  Thanks for the detailed explanation

  I you suggest to activate the clean boot and then test to see if this works very well as expected

  Step 1: Put the computer in a clean boot

  Follow step 1 in the link below,

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

  Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

  After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

  Important: n ' forget not the computer to start normal follow step 7 in the link.

  Let us know if this helps

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• When you connect 1 or several external USB drives, why is the letter a * shoot?

  When you connect 1 or several external USB drives, why is the letter a * shoot? Referencing external drives through library (Windows V7) becomes a really shiny, totally useless feature without consistency of drive letter. Or unnecessary to be a design goal? I almost had it still works but who finally to 3 minutes). What it will take to make useful new features?

  Windows assigns the first available on the first hard drive connected and one drive letter to another and so on.  Always has, always will. What will help sometimes (but), is to open disk from an elevated command prompt management and adversely affect permanent a letter from your external drive which is much higher than the letters in use.  This will often allow the will to keep a letter.
