• I have a WD external hard drive that I used for a while and all of a sudden I can't.

  The device is a USB connected external hard drive. I used it on a regular basis until today. When I connect it it seems to connect (it lights up), and when he did it before she would open a window that would ask if I wanted to open and examine its contents. It does not now. When I go to Start computer it is no longer present upward with the other HD etc. I took it on another computer and it worked fine. I wonder if a driver does not work?

  Restore points should be back fairly in time, if you have enabled the restoration of the system.

  Read the information contained in the links I provided. about how to use system restore.

  You do not accept the available Restore Point.

• Cannot delete files from the external hard drive after copying using Robocopy

  Original title:! VERY DIFFICULT QUESTION! Files that cannot be deleted!

  I did a robocopy and he left during the night and when I came back it was in some kind of loop and my external hard drive was full. The files are not visible in Explorer and if I try to delete them in the command line that fails because some are too long. Urgent I need to redo the space on this external and copy the files to my parents and charity before fly me soon. Please can someone help me.

  * Looks like that I have multiple instances of the same files

  I don't know if you will be able to do this before your flight, but the drive must be partitioned and formatted, reformatted, or scanned for errors of NTFS file allocation table with repairs enabled. Depending on the size of the disk, this could take some time. You can also check statistics of SMARTDRIVE with a utility like Crystal Info disc to see if it is a failure.

  If you do not drive Professional recovery tools available, the native CHKDSK will do in a pinch.

  C:\Windows\System32>chkdsk /?
  Checks a disk and displays a status report.

  [CHKDSK [volume [[path] filename]]] [/ f] [/ v] [/ r] [/ x] [/ I] [/ c] [/ l [: size]] [/ b]

  volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),
  mount point or volume name.
  filename FAT/FAT32 only: Specifies the files to check for fragmentation.
  /F fixes errors on the disk.
  /V FAT/FAT32: displays the full path and the name of each file
  on the disk.
  On NTFS: Displays the eventual cleanup messages.
  /R Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information
  (implies / f).
  L:size NTFS only: changes the size of the logfile to the specified number
  of kilobytes.  If the size is not specified, displays currently
  size.
  /X force the volume to unmount it first if necessary.
  All open handles to the volume would then be invalid
  (implies / f).
  /I NTFS only: performs a less vigorous check of index entries.
  /C NTFS only: skips, checking of cycles within the folder
  structure.
  /B NTFS only: Re-evaluates bad clusters on the volume
  (implies / r)

  The /I or /C switch reduces the amount of time required to run Chkdsk by
  skip certain checks of the volume.

  Any routine review and car repair will take time. CHKDSK is no exception.

• Can I get my favorites on an external hard drive that I use as support? I have Windows 7 Edition Home Premium.

  I've been backing up my computer with Windows 7 Home Premium on an external hard drive. I've been using manual backup when I plug the external hard drive. I tried looking for the folder of Firefox but can't seem to find it. He recorded with all of the other files and folders, and if so how do I enter it?

  Your Firefox profile would have the data. You can find it at:

  • C:\Users\ < Windows user/login name > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ < profile folder >
    • The file you want is called places.sqlite

  You can copy this file if you want to restore your bookmarks to your current Firefox back to C:\Users\ < Windows user/login name > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ < profile folder > and overwrite the current file. Keep in mind, this will delete your current bookmarks.

• Formatting an external hard drive to FAT32 using vista

  Hello

  I own an Xbox 360 and a Windows Vista-based computer.  I wanted to store music and movies on an external hard drive and connect it to my Xbox 360 so I can make use for more then just a game.  I first tried this using a 2 GB USB key and it worked better then I could have hoped.  However, given that 2 GB does not go very far, I went out and bought a FreeAgent 1.5 TB drive external hard.  I can use it in Vista and works very well, but it does not recognize the Xbox 360.  I read in a forum that the 360 requires the external hard drive to FAT32, but Vista cannot format the disc in all except exFAT and NTFS.  How can I get the external drive in a format that can recognize the Xbox?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello, Durandal95

  Please use the Forum for answers.

  You can format a drive using the FAT, FAT32, exFAT and NTFS filesystems using the format command-line tool.

  WARNING: Formatting your drive will completely erase it, exercise caution when you use the format features.

  To do this, go to start, all programs, accessories, click with the right button on command prompt and choose Run as administrator. In the command prompt window, type the following command and press ENTER: format X: / FS: FAT32 / q
  Note: Replace X: the good reader.

• Windows 7 asks Me to format the Seagate FreeAgent external hard drive I've used for more than a month

  I used Seagate FreeAgent as my external hard drive for more than a month now, but recently I am unable to access Windows 7 asks me to format it to use it. Somehow I can format the HDD without losing my data?  Or does perform a work around?

  Hi NuVille,

  Before perform us any of the steps, first of all I suggest you to create a backup of the data stored in your external hard drive on another computer.

  To save the data, you can connect your external hard drive on another computer and copy all the files and folders on the other computer. Later, you can connect the external drive to the Windows 7 computer and try to run the disk error checking and check if that helps you solve the problem.

  Access the link below and follow the steps to check the drive for errors and fix it.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-a-drive-for-errors

  After completing the disc you error checking, try to check if you can access the drive.

  If the steps above do not I suggest you try to format the hard drive. Access the link below and follow the steps to format the hard drive.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/create-and-format-a-hard-disk-partition

  Note: there is no way to format without losing any data on the disk. Formatting the drive will erase all data.  This is why you must back up the data before formatting the hard drive.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

  Thank you and best regards,

• iTunes library to external hard drive works on pc and mac

  Hello world

  I have 1 pc and mac 2. I also use the music library to icloud. However, it depends on the internet connection.

  so, I was wondering if I can put the "itunes library" file on each laptop, the "itunes media" while on the external hard drive?

  My idea is to use an external hard drive whenever I want to use the laptop. so I don't need to broadcast through library icloud music. Moreover, I need an external hard drive and itunes library to work on pc and mac.

  Cheers!

  See make a library of portable split. You will need either a for OS X NTFS driver or driver for HFS + for Windows in order to use the drive with an operating system. Also note that there is a delay when you first launch after passage of one BONE to the other.

• External hard drive working half arsed

  I have a 2 month old Fantom 2 to external hard drive that I use to store my DVD on since my Carousel begins to fritz.  My new TV does not need to reproduce video files so I can just connect the HD to it and run them from there.  Somehow one of my DVDs got screwed up and half of the titles are in Japanese instead of English so I unplugged and put onr the Win XP computer and ripped the files as straight MP4s.  Unfortunately, I named the files wrong while the second disc was playing before the first.  When I went to hang the HD to the computer it's show is more like a hard drive.  My computer it shows as a removable disk and keys USB and cd player.  Safely remove and Device Manager list it by his old letter of player but it doen't show at all in disk management.  By clicking on the removable drive just hangs up workstation instead to open the drive.  Any ideas on how I can get the drive back to its original state?  Oh yes, the deytects of the TV when you first plug then flashes a message that he cnnot find the drive and it does not list it on the entry screen.

• My external hard drive is not recognized

  Before you start I just want to say that I read all related issues, and although people have had similar problems for me I tried all of the solutions that have worked for them but nothing worked for me. So now, it's the way that...

  I have a Packard Bell Store & Save 3500 external hard drive that I used with my desktop for about 3 years now. It has always worked well before, but recently I plugged on my new laptop running Windows 7 to transfer files, and now when I plug in my desktop PC running Windows XP, it does not appear in my computer. It appears in Device Manager but not on my desktop and shows both disk management on my laptop but in disk management it has a red X on the picture and said that it has not been initialized. When I try to boot it, it then comes up with an error message saying "device is not ready." I really really want to reformat because I have files I want to keep on it and other people say that this has not solved their problem. I've tried everything I can think of and would really appreciate some help on this problem! Thanks in advance.

  PS. Oh, I forgot to say, I don't need to work on my laptop any more I want to just get back on my desktop PC! Thank you, Helen.

  Number of things you could try is use knoppix (option 3) to see if that reads the files. its basically a linux operating system you put on cd and run it from cd. He read windows formatted disks, it takes on the operating system of the equation and you maybe power then copy the data off.

  You can try to pull the hard drive into the usb box... plug directly into the computer, see if it works then, and it backs up like that...
