• Updated the motherboard, processor and RAM and upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, after upgrade the external hard drive encrypted with bitlocker will not enter the password.

  Original title: bitllocker Windows 7 issue

  Hello

  I recently updated my motherboard, processor and RAM, but I kept my original 500 GB hard drive, and equipped with a hard drive 2 TB extra, after the upgrade, I downloaded windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. After the upgrade I plugged my external hard drive (which has all my stuff important on it, that is to say the photo, video etc.) to realize that I had he encrypted with bitlocker on my old sysem. It allows Me to enter my password, it looks for a USB flash drive key, I did not. My question is:

  Can I replace my old system with the old motherboard, hard drive and the original RAM to remove the external hard drive for bitlocker?

  I still have the file windows.old on my hard drive, I have to restore it and remove the most recent version of windows 7 off the drive. I do this before I rebuild my old PC? I'm stuck here and would not lose all my photos (the wife would kill me!) I would appreciate your help.

  Hello

  Reassembly of the old computer won't help. You will always need the key to open the Bitlocker.

• When I deleted a picture of my MacBook, why it also remove the external hard drive?

  So I tried to help my wife to free up space on his MacBook Pro by putting all of his photos on an external hard drive. After iPhoto slide the hard disk and wait 40 minutes so that he could transfer, I wanted to make sure it worked. I ejected the disk and then plugged in. Of course, all iphotos were still there. Just to be sure, I deleted one file in the folder on the computer's iphoto. I went to my shock and horror, the external hard drive, that it has been deleted it too! How is that possible? I've been scouring the Internet trying to retrieve this file with no luck. It was not in the trash. There is a tab "recently deleted". Time machine was not turned on. iCloud shows nothing. I can't download any software, because the computer is completely filled. How is it possible that by deleting this folder on the computer he did also leave the hard drive? AND it has not been saved in the trash? I have used PC, and whenever I need something in return, he was ALWAYS in the trash. And if I deleted something on the computer with an external hard drive connected, it would NEVER be removed from the external hard drive at the same time. I'm so frustrated and feeling SO bad that I deleted a folder with important pictures of our kids. Is that what I can do to recover the pictures? Any help is greatly appreciated.

  You used Time Machine at all? I see you say it was not on, but it never on and is at - it a backup Time Machine on the Macbook Pro?

• Lost volume after connecting the external hard drive

  I had some movies I wanted to copy in one of my sharing folders, so I tied a drive hard usb at the back of my camera, but the nas don't seem to notice. I rebooted my nas and all of a sudden my internal volumes were absent and did not show the external drive and the system told me I have not put volumes in place.

  My two internal drives can be selected for formatting as if I just do a reset to factory... can someone help me re set my volume, I have over my data already out there.

  I guess its some sort of hardware conflict when I joined my outside, there dissregarded somehow my internal volumes.

  Problem solved no. thanks to an hour on the phone with the customer service...

  The naskey was not connected because I took out the usb to connect my external drive. Such a simple thing took all day to figure out.

• External hard drive does not work on windows 7 after using the external hard drive on a mac (osx 10.7)

  title says it all. It does not open on autoplay and does not anywhere, but is always works on mac

  http://www.Mediafour.com/products/MacDrive

  If you want to use the drive to read and save files on both mac & PC I think that you will need create separate partitions on the disk, a formatted for mac and one for the PC.

  The utility linked above only allows access to a mac formatted drive and access the data, having never had to use it I don't know if it allows you to save files PC to the mac player

  Hello

  Maybe you should first check if there is no access to all the files that are stored on external HARD drive

  I put t know how it works with your external HARD drive, but if I want to remove my HARD drive safely the new window opens and I get a USB mass storage device called option.

  If I mark this USB mass storage device and press STOP then a new window opens and I get 3 different devices;
  -USB mass storage device
  -Generic volume
  -USB HDD device

  If I score the first two options then my HARD drive crashes but if I choose the last of them then I can remove the HARD drive safely

• Dual-boot Windows XP is installed on the external hard drive

  My computer has Windows XP and Windows 7 installed. I added a hard drive with Windows XP is already installed on the computer.

  In order to access additional hard drive, I need to change the priority of the hard drive in the BIOS.

  Is it possible to add a boot option to the Boot Manager screen so that I can boot from the additional hard disk without modifying the BIOS settings?

  First of all, to the best of my knowledge you should not change anything in the bios to access the external drive.

  Second, if Xp has not been installed on the external hard drive while the drive is connected to the computer in question it will not be loaded. Simply, it does not work like that. Even if you install Windows on the outside when it is connected to your computer, I don't think it must configure the boot.ini file, giving you the ability to dual boot when the computer is turned on. You can boot from the external drive provided however your bios supports booting from a usb key. I think that to accomplish what you want, you will need to remove the hard drive of the external envelope and attach it to your computer using an eSATA cable. Then it will be recognized as a regular system disk.

• After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer

  After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

  [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) viaControl Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of NIS 2011 (using your product ID, if need be) & reboot. CF. http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

  NOTE: Do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

  7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate (Norton) until you get a prompt "no update more".

  8. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 & run the difficulty.

  9. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run that set it by DEFAULT and modes and AGGRESSIVE. [1]

• Windows 8 cannot connect to the external hard drive after you have added the drive case.

  Original title: I have my hard drive from my previous PC attached to my new PC with windows 8. My old PC had XP. How to access the external hard drive?

  I had problems with my XP operating system and could not transfer all the files to my new PC. I spoke with Dell who I believe created the problem with software support. I was told to get out the hard drive, buy a hard drive enclosure and get my files from there. I can't find the hard drive.

  Hello

  Thank you for the update.

  Given that the problem occurs when the hard drive is connected to a different USB port or another computer, it is probably related to the connection of the hard disk.

  Method 1: check if the problem occurs in another computer after removing the hard disk enclosure.

  Method 2:

   

  Step 1: Check if the hard drive is detected in Windows Explorer.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  a. connect the hard disk of the computer.

  b. press the Windows key + E to open Windows Explorer.

  c. check if the hard drive is present here.

  Step 2: Check if the hard drive is detected in disk management.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  a. on the desktop, press the Windows key + X , and then select disk management.

  b. check if the hard drive is listed there.

  Contact the manufacturer of the hard drive and hard drive enclosure for assistance.
