• 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?

• 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.

• How can I migrate a time machine backup external USB drive to time capsule

  Searched the forums and can't seem to find an answer. With the help of El Capitan 10.11.6. You want to transfer backups Time Machine 4 years on an external USB drive on my new Time Capsule. Any ideas would be MUCH appreciated.

  There is no official method because it has problems.

  There's no official way.

  Here see Q18. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

  We recommend that people not me there. It has not proven reliable long-term. Start a new backup on the TC and keep the USB stick in the form of archive. After a few months or a year you won't have it.

  You have to understand the Time Machine backup otherwise locally the CF network. It is easy enough to move the backup network local but much harder the other way around.

• How can I make an external USB drive read-only?

  I'm trying to find a solution to take a USB HD in a spacing classified environment / air.  If I can make the drive read-only (like I gave him that I need to copy on these machines), then the Agency will probably approve the device.  I can't use DVDs that data are 30 + GB in size.

• Satellite A300-19 q - how to start with an external USB drive

  Hi all!

  I have a (old) TOSHIBA Satellite A300-19 q bought in 2008. I wanted to do a clean install of Windows 7 by reformatting my HD. The problem is that my internal DVD drive no longer works. So I tried to boot from the Windows 7 DVD installation with an external USB drive.
  Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to boot from USB devices in my BIOS options.
  My BIOS is up to date (version 4.20) from Toshiba Web site.

  So I was wondering, does anyone know if the A300-19 q can boot from USB devices?

  Thank you in advance.

  I have A300 at home but I never tried to start with an external USB device.
  Start your laptop and press F12 to get into the boot menu. There must be USB option. What happen when you try to use it?

• 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:

  

  ... of information for the NTFS volume in disk utility:

  

  ... of the partitioning settings page. Notice how the sign is grayed out (I can't create another partition):

  

  

  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.

• 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

• Cannot drag and drop external USB drives

  Hello

  All of a sudden, I can't drag-and - drop or copy and paste all the files on an external USB drive. Windows Explorer stops and restarts each time. A ran the antivirus, malware, CC Cleaner etc and its still the same. Also tried in safe mode.

  The event log is as follows:

  The failing application name: explorer.exe, version: 6.1.7601.23418, time stamp: 0x570898dc
  The failed module name: psdprotect.dll, version: 3.1.76.0, time stamp: 0x4aa9003b
  Exception code: 0xc0000005

  Report ID: bea55c9d-3711-11e6-981a-00262d7bb69c

  Is this average Winlocker is the cause? Winlocker on my PC for years without any problem.

  Thank you

  Hi, I managed to solve the problem by uninstalling winlocker. I had open Séverine deep and burn the files on DVD first, but I seem to have lost the 30 GB partition that he once used it uninstalled.

  Yes, I came to the same conclusion - uninstall mywinlocker (a dll shared with windows Explorer which has become corrupted). The dll is: psdprotect.dll, version: 3.1.76.0

  Here's what I think happened in my case:

  Microsoft automatically installed Windows 10 on my system. I wouldn't use it and returned to my old operating system (Windows 7).
  During the re installation, Microsoft provided updates for some files (cela "should include" to explore shared dll) HOWEVER, mywinlocker (part of an independent program that was originally installed on my system in 2011 - the old dll remained in place).

  Since Explorer windows update needed now the newer dll - this is why I think that the program was not.

  To know if you have this problem - check your event logs to see what error

  Start / eventviewer / windows logs / request - find the brand red exclamation (view)
  That's what my error looked like:

  The failing application name: Explorer.EXE, version: 6.1.7601.23418, time stamp: 0x570898dc

  The failed module name: psdprotect.dll, version: 3.1.76.0, time stamp: 0x4aa9003b

  Exception code: 0xc0000005

  Offset: 0x00000000000012db

  ID of the process failed: 0xeb4

  The failing application path: C:\Windows\Explorer.EXE

  Path of the failing module: C:\Program Files (x 86) \EgisTec\MyWinLocker 3\x64\psdprotect.dll

  Report ID: 189edf94-37e4-11e6-a2db-90fba64d1d10

  I do not use Mywinlocker, so I simply uninstalled the program. But if you use - you'll want to put the information before you uninstall.

  Once uninstalled - explore should work again. If this isn't the case, you may have remaining broken DLL. To run a system cleaner to solve these issues.

  Thank you Moderec for pointing me in the right direction. Like you, I surfed the web to find answers and none of them took into account Mywinlocker. It took some time to solve this - was grateful to finally get fixed! Bravo!

• 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.

• Help move my datastore on external USB drive to reformat with correct block size

  Hello

  I use a Dell PowerEdge 2650 with a 550 GB disks configured in RAID 5 with ESX 3.5i

  When I installed ESX I didn't pay attention to the size of the block. This is the default 1 MB and so I reached the maximum extends. Which means that I can receive only 260 GB on my 550 GB.

  I need to change the parameter to a block size of 4 MB in order to access the entire table.

  But for this I need to move my existing data store that contains a lot of important files for me.

  I have not any currenty server with 260/300 GB of free space.

  I'll try the following:

  1. connect an external USB drive. I have ssh running, but I'm having difficulties to climb. I looked for info, but I am always sick.

  2. If possible, I would like to compress using gzip great records in my data store before moving. Can advise you on the location of the files in the system and if it is possible to do?

  Thank you

  Chris

  It is clear now,

  in this case if your VM's you buy a big enough hard drive 250 GB single VMDK file to copy all virtual machine configuration, not he zip or compress, you can screw all of the data on disk

  I have an idea, depends on the amount of data you have on your virtual hard disk, you can use VMware converter 4.0.1 and clone your VM with discs thin provision, Vmware converter will be "zipp" your VMDK file to the exact size of your data without any risk that would have lost you all your data.

  1 use vmware converter to clone your VM with discs thin provisioned

  2. low source VM

  3. start the VM 'new' and check if it works well

  4. If 4 is OK, stop VM 'nine '.

  5. copy the new virtual machine on your USB key (set the USB you your workstation and you winscp to copy the virtual machine)

  6 remove VMFS datastore

  7. create the new VMFS datastore

  8 download VM to the new data store

  9. creating the new virtual machine based on a VMDK file

  10. start the virtual machine

  see you soon

• Windows Explorer hangs when copying large files on external USB drive

  I'm trying to copy files over 1 GB of my pc to a WD MyBook external drive. After about 10% on the progress indicator, Windows Explorer crashes. When I cancel the work, nothing happens until I unplug the USB. Then I have the pc returns to normal.

  During my research, I discovered that a lot of people have this problem. I have tried many suggestions, but without result. The last thing I tried was a full format the C: drive with a fresh install of Vista. Copy a large file gave me the message 'Calculating time' infinite. After you have installed SP1 reappeared the problem as explained above.

  Some of the things I've tried:
  check the external hard drive: no problem found and the problem occurs on all my MesLivres 3
  safe mode
  Superfetching disabled
  update the motherboard bios

  Now my last request resource helps professionals. If I don't find a solution I'll have to go back to XP, achieve Win7 or one rating for Mac... a lot of things to think about.

  Best regards
  Rafael

  Try to copy in safe mode. If can be a slow usb port. Try anther one.

  Good luck.

• Satellite L300, how to start from the cd/dvd external USB drive?

  I have an old laptop Satellite L300, latest version of the BIOS (2.20) installed.
  I would like to start on a connected external USB CD/DVD player
  PROBLEM:
  BIOS will not start on this CD/DVD disc.
  In the BIOS boot priority is: CD/DVD, USB, HDD
  BEHAVIOR:
  When starting, computer ignores the CD/DVD, ignores the USB and start on the HARD drive.
  QUESTION:
  Is it possible at all boot for CD/DVD USB external?

  Thanks for the efforts made to respond.
  Concerning

  It is NOT possible, I thought. REASON: The BIOS does not, does not reckognize CD/DVD (does not test if code such USB-CD/DVD bootable) drive connected via USB.
