    Hello

    The recovery image can be created on a CD/DVD disc or USB memory stick. As far as I know you cannot use a common USB HDD for recovery.

    Hello

    I would like to disable the download only history, I tried the option 'clear history when firefox closes' check the download only history, but it did not work. the download window is clear, but it's all there in the download history.
    is there a way to disable the download only, history without touching the others intact?

    The download history is stored as part of the normal history (visited sites/links) and a special annotation identifies it as a download item in the history.

    If you can not separate the two more.

    Note that the classic Download Manager stores its data in a different file, you will need to check both if you have set on remember downloads.

    You can set the browser.download.useToolkitUI pref Boolean true on the topic: config page to restore the old window Download Manager and check all the settings download appear in "tools > Options > general.

    The pref browser.download.manager.retention has no effect with the new download manager and is forced to manual (2).

  • HP Elitedesk 800 G2 SFF: external hard drive not detected in the BIOS. Only USB Flash drives are detected.

    Hi all

    I received recently 2 new HP desktop computers.

    HP Elitedesk 800 G2 SFF

    HP Elitedesk 800 G2 TWR

    The goal is to test our real W7 x 64 image on these machines and to inject the missing drivers in the image.

    MDT 2010 to create a deployment on a USB hard disk drive.

    This disc of deployment is already used on 16 different models of HP in the company (Elitebook, zBook, EliteDesk) to install our image so I know it works.

    Unfortunately, the two HP Elitedesk 800 G2, I can't start the boot disk but I cannot to USB for a USB key.

    The USB drive is not detected and not proposed in the BIOS Menu of STARTUP.

    Only the internal HD, external USB Flash Disk, DVD and network devices are detected.

    Here's what I already checked or tried:

    • Latest Version of the BIOS installed (2.05)
    • UEFI Boot has been disabled. (not supported by our record of deployment)
    • USB ports are enabled (front and rear).
    • All types of USB devices are allowed in the BIOS
    • The start command has been changed to start with USB devices.
    • Legacy support is active and Secure Boot disabled
    • Delete the keys to secure boot
    • Reset secure by default startup keys
    • This morning, I created a new disk deployment on a USB Flash drive and it works!

    So, it seems that only Flash USB drives are detected.

    I know it is possible to return the flag removalble on a USB device to cheat the system and make it appear as a disk fixed, but I want a simple solution.

    Does anyone know a fix or a workaround for this problem?

    Thanks in advance!

    For those interested in the answer, here's the final results.

    It turns out that the hard 500 GB external drive can be detected if it is fomatted in FAT32.

    It's strange because my 16 GB USB Flash drive formatted in NTFS works very well.

    In any case, I'll create a FAT32 Partition to the Boot MDT files and put my picture (because the file is too big for FAT32 partition) on the secondary partition (formatted as NTFS).

    Thanks to the technical pre-sales team of HP who helped me with this!

  • Satellite L20-182: after installing the OS only USB 1.1 not 2.0

    Hello, I am an owner of the model Toshiba Satellite L20-182.
    Recently I did a format disk and installed Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2.

    Unfortunately, the system detects USB as a version 1.1.
    I find anywhere USB 2.0 drivers.

    Could you help me?

    Hello

    Why suggest that you have only the USB 1.1 and USB 2.0?

    To my knowledge you will not find any special USB Toshiba drivers Toshiba page.
    Each unit of Toshiba uses the current Microsoft Windows USB drivers and it s not necessary to install the special USB drivers.

    I assume that you have installed the operating system from the original CD of Microsoft and not the Toshiba back CD. Am I wrong?
    In this case you must install all Toshiba drivers that are available in the right order. The chipset utility is very important! Generally, the chipset must be installed at the first stage.

    Please also check this Microsoft documents:

    Availability of the updated Windows XP SP1 USB 1.1 and 2.0
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=822603

    When you install Windows XP Service Pack 2, the USB 2.0 drivers do not appear to be updated

  • I can't turn my photos because I can't disable the 'read only' attribute of my files.

    Whenever I go into the Properties uncheck the read-only attribute of my files, it won't let me, but he will return back as soon as I click on ' OK. "

    I tried to change the property, as well as the opening of full control.

    I'm already administrator.

    It happens even when I create new folders on my desktop. It it automatically read-only, and I am able to uncheck with him coming back after I click OK without worrying.

    Help, please.

    The photos are from my phone. Open them in the image viewer and I'm just turning them using that, or good right click to rotate.

    This also happens with the new cases, I create and save all the images that I have on my computer.

    The images themselves are not read-only. The folder attribute is the problem.

    Again, there is no attribute of read-only files.

    If you use an iPhone, the photos can contain metadata that preventing rotation.

  • E1550 sees no USB storage drive

    I had a Toshiba HDD (1 TB) connected to my E1550. 8 months that the reader has twice had a problem with being able to save/replace the files after he successfully files for a period of time. Given that my storage device was not on the list of "approved" for the router, I assumed that is why I had problems. Then, I got a new hard drive, Western Digital My Book 2 TB, which was on the approved list. I copied the files of the Toshiba still connected to the router to the new hard drive directly connected to my computer. Once I copied all the files, I unplugged the router connected Western Digital for the E1550 Toshiba and grew up the admin router on the 192.168.1.1 address. When I went to the storage tab, it does not show any drive recognized. I checked the WD drive and it was plugged and the device light flickered. No idea why this light blinking? Find out why the disc appear on the storage tab? I tried again after resetting the modem with the WD always connected via USB drive and restarted the administration tool, still with no luck showing the disk in the storage tab. I'm at a loss what to try next. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Ed

    Hi EasyEd49. Have you tried to click on the button "Refresh" in the User Interface of the router? If you do not, please do so. If it will still not work, try to connect back the Western Digital hard drive to the computer and check if the files are still there. You can also check using different computers. In addition, to connect the Toshiba HDD back to the router and check if it can still detect hard drive.

  • Office Pavilion - 400-540hk: unable to retrieve files from the old desktop USB HARD drive

    My old desktop (model: CQ4128HK) can be power on. So I bought a new desktop computer (model: Pavilion Office 400 540HK). I have a lot of important files in my old office, so I bought a SATA-USB enclosure and connect my old hard drive to the new office. However, after connecting the old HARD drive, I can't find my files or windows folders; Instead, I see that a single drive with folders named "Backup-xXXx" or "WindowImageBackup".  Please suggest how to recover my files on the old HARD drive. They are very important. Thank you.

    Hello

    Please try this first: bring the box (old HDD) and connect it to a machine not HP to see how it goes. I remember I have one similar problem in another day; reason: the old HDD still has a "signature" as a boot device.

    Kind regards.

  • Software AIO with the only USB 3.0 systems problems

    I just had problems with the installation of PSC 1510 and J5780 to be connected systems USB 3.0 only as a Fujitsu Lifebook A544 under W7 - 64.

    In both cases, download the latest package and stopped installation:

    http://www.Club-PAC.de/download/HPj5780-error.PDF%C2%A0

    W7-64 systems are fully patched, a "naked" before first Installation HP look so no HP software - lay before.

    Note: alle USB3.0 ports are in good condition!

    Reference:

    http://h30492.www3.HP.com/T5/Drucker-und-all-in-one-GER%C3%A4te-installation-und/HP-J5780-keine-Inst...

    Solution (at least for Fujitsu of A544):

    If possible, use BIOS routines disable the functionality of USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 only instead.

    Windows will then take some time to install drivers for USB for USB 2.0 devices, but after that, the HP AIO software installation will succeed.

    Now, you can reactivate the USB 3.0 feature in the BIOS. Believe it or not, software, printer, scanner still doesn't work.

    Add on: evidence for quality control: using scanner in German will have Dutch expression on the button "Cancel"...

  • Windows does not recognize the USB flash drive

    Hello
    My USB does not work when I plug. It seems that Windows recognizes the device because it is found in the Solution Explorer window, but if I want to create a folder or a file on the USB key I have the following message:
    "Cannot find this article.
    It is no longer in < %3="" null :="" optext=""> . Check the location of the components and try again. " < br=""> also the files that are copied to the USB flash drive are not visible in Explorer and it looks like the drive is empty.

    I want to emphasize that the same (Kingston) USB flash drive works perfectly under Windows XP operating system on another computer so it may not be a problem with the device. The same problem also appears when you use a different USB (another manufacturer).

    Thank you!

    Hey, 101 a.

    , I just posted a fix I found for my USB flash/go to work again.  It was a very simple solution, too.

    I unplugged all USB devices first, then tried my USB jump drive again.  IT WORKED! I've narrowed the problem to the new printer that I use.  It's a Mono Dell Laser MFP 1125.  Whenever it is plugged into a USB port, my USB doesn't work.  All other devices work, but not the USB is the printer is connected

    I don't know what done to block the flash/USB key, but unplug printer allows the jump command to work again.  I will contact Dell on what did the printer driver to block the flash player.  Just an info on the fix I found.

  • You are looking for a SIMPLE, EASY to USE, USB flash drive password protection

    Hello everyone,

    I scoured the Internet looking for a SIMPLE, EASY to USE, method of Word to PASS-PROTECT my flash drives TOGETHER.  I don't mean something that protects just individual files & folders (such as MS Word, Excel & can do).  Or I'm looking for a program that involves having to read page after page of instructions on how to ENCRYPT the drive.  ENCRYPTION is a topic that is really beyond my ability to understand.  I'm sorry.

    Programs like Truecrypt, Axcrypt, etc. are simply much too complicated for me to understand... a lot less!

    My question: are there flash drives available (size 8-16 GB preferably) who have a means of securing the disk with a password?

    The USB key remains in my USB port at ALL times!  I have no other computers here and live alone, so that no one else could access the flash player (or computer).  Otherwise, I would be willing to consider a VERY SIMPLE, EASY to UNDERSTAND AND USE application, either free or something that does not cost me dearly.  (I subsist on a limited monthly disability income).

    Thank you for your time and any recommendations!

    It seems that the solution for you would be to purchase a secure Flash drive.   Security is built-in and it asks for your password when you insert your disc into the computer.   Can't get much simpler than that.  They are a little more expensive, but you pay more for practical reasons.   See the following article:
    'USB Flash Drive Security '.
       <>http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive_security >
    To find one, just Google for "Secure USB flash drive", there are a lot of them out there.

    If you have a non-secure flash drive and do not want to replace, then your easiest option would be a program like Truecrypt which you already have reduced as being too complicated.  Don't let the word"encryption" you scared - it all comes down to "enter a password to access".»  Once established, however, it is almost as simple as only to enter a password so if you can find a computer or a local high school computer nerd literate member of the family who would volunteer to set up for you, then it wouldn't be that hard.
