Drive external DRIVE not detected (2 PCs), after turning off the PC during the error checking

I ran properties/tools/error-check on a (regularly used to back up this PC XP) external HARD drive. After 2 days, error checking was still running and not even 1/3 way 4th Phase but I need PC. It was not possible to stop "Error Check" from the dialog box then I tried Task Manager/Applications, which said that nothing worked, so I turned off the PC.

When I restarted the PC, external HARD disk was not in my computer. Control Panel of configuration/addition does not see it no more. However, when I plug / unplug the station. HDD USB cable, the computer makes a noise and is also recognized in "Device safely Shut Down" as a USB storage device mass (but no drive letter). I tried to start/run/Cmd/Diskpart/List Disk and it is not listed.

NB. I checked the post. HARD drive on a Linux PC, which also does not detect not, then it is certainly the post. Drive HARD, not the XP PC.

Can offer you any advice?

Hello

· What is the number and the model of the hard drive?

As you mentioned that the issue isn't with the operating system but with the drive hard, for better support I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the hard drive.

You can also get in touch with any local technician who can help you with the same.

    If you use a perpetual Photoshop and formatted your disc version of starting without disabling your activation of Photoshop, you also Adobe supports help you activate Photoshop once you retrieve your serial number.  The startup disk formatting would destroy that credential of Activation Photoshop machine which is registered in the database of the Adobe activation server. Which reduces the activation numbers you have to use.  If you have Photoshop installed on a second computer that means that you have no free activation available as well, even with your key you can't activated the machine.

  • Bluetooth icon tray disappears after turning off the USB bluetooth adapter in the system tray

    You seem to have a problem with your bluetooth icon. If you cannot match something you can try to remove the device and then put it back. I tried it didn't work. Then, you may need to disable bluetooth adapter on the icon. But if you do that you cannot turn it back on because the bluetooth icon status bar disappears when the adapter is disabled. Also it does not appear in "peripheral" that the adapter is turned off. You must go to the C:\Program WIDCOMM software and double-click BTTray.exe to redisplay the icon, and then turn on the adapter. Come on Microsoft, surely it would be easier to just gray exit icon at its stop, then your right click the greyed to activate the adapter turn it back on. Simple really.

  • Hard drive not detected once, but now?

    Hello

    I am Zak, a bit of techno when it comes to playing with the software, or re-Assembly of computers and whatnot. Unfortunately, I have no idea about other things.

    Some quick history on my laptop: the fan was made terrible noises in recent weeks. Initially, I thought it was little dust, so I got a few duster. A lot of dust came out, so that can only be good, but the noise came back after a few days. After some research, I thought that the other logical explanation was probably the hard drive goes bad. I hesitate to send back to HP because I use it for all my college work and it would really put me back weeks to have it not.

    So, a few days ago I booted my computer laptop at a "drive not detected" - or very similar - message. There were a few options for f1 - f4, they were information system and 3 different tests (I think). I ran the tests, all of them came back fine, noting that there are no operating system installed, or a hard drive to boot from. I rebooted because I didn't quite start and wanted to see if there were other options. It turns out that he has started well. I restarted once more and again once it did it very well.

    Then, I coded around, back up all my data, gather warranty information, installation of the HP Support Assistant, etc. I ran all the tests help Wizard and there is no problems found. Since I just got the laptop hibernation when I stop using it, and I have not met any unusual problems. All this sounds great, but my warranty expires December 7 this year. It is safe for me to assume that the "drive not detected" error was just one missed? I read a lot of discussions and FAQS on him and it's not something that happens once and goes. However, I never had to use a warranty so not sure quite how the process works, and as I said, he sent everywhere would put me in my work.

    In order to be a full post, I have a HP G62 - 367DX laptop, running on Windows 7 64-bit OS, and as far as I know there no change was made between error and my prior boot. If there is any other information I can give you, let me know.

    See you soon, thank you for all help and good day

    The wizard tests are not as comprehensive or reliable as the drive hard test in the BIOS... tap F10 as you power up, go and find the hard drive test. Run the long form test and see what it says. It is not uncommon that the hard drive start as intermittent and get progressively more frequent problems. If your drive passes the test of long form, only enough safely, you can assume that it was a unique gremlin, but it's still a really good idea to back up. I like the idea of online backup services and I will quote Carbonite only because it is well known and not as an endorsement. There are several more and year external drive is a good idea.

    You can't put off forever; restarting You'll have to deal with the issue at some point.
