• Cannot access the files from the internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead

  I can't access the files from an internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead. I think that my files are still there, as shown in the volume of the player volume ~ 500 gb which is almost completely full. But I can't access most files, including documents and settings. When I took 'ownership' of the folder, I could open the TI but then it showed everything that was in my documents and settings on the computer file I used to open it, not the documents of the car.

  Uhm... I think the issue here is a misunderstanding of what you watch.

  If you want to access your files from the old hard drive - you need to look in the right place.  If the old system was "Windows 7", "Documents and Settings" is the * wrong * place to look and "Users" would be the place to go.

  You * will * take ownership and change permissions on ALL (you want to propagate to all subfolders/files when do - to save time) in order to get them properly.

  New-->: Windows Vista/7 would have your files located in the directory 'Users' of the root of the drive - and then under your username.

  • \USERS\\Desktop\
  • \USERS\\Downloads\
  • \USERS\\Favorites\
  • \USERS\\Documents\
  • \USERS\\Music\
  • \USERS\\Pictures\
  • \USERS\\Videos\

  ... etc...

  Documents and settings to WIndows Vista/Windows 7 is a symbolic link and would lead to what you see if you tried to use it.

• Satellite A200-1If - drive external HARD after a while is "unknown device".

  Hello!

  I have such a problem: I work with my external case alu Toshiba 3.5 HDD 500 GB and after awhile of copy of the files in the laptop it disappears and appears this luckily device recognized.
  Can it be caused by not enough power in the USB port?

  THX for any help or the workaround

  Hello

  Yes, this may be caused by the fact, there is not enough power provided by the USB port. first of all, note that external USB hard drives 3.5 inches are generally designed to be used with systems of office due to their higher power needs (this is also the reason that many need an external power supply of their own). my suggestion would be to buy a 2.5 inch drive external hard USB is designed to be used with laptops. Another reason that the hard drive may disappear when copying files, is that there may be a problem with the connection of the USB cable between the laptop and the external HARD drive. I suggest to check that both ends are connected properly and not put any pressure on the cables and keep them stable.

  I hope this helps you with your question

• Drive external HARD encrypted in ExFat?

  Hello

  I have a new drive external HARD I need to use on a Mac and a PC. I need to access the same files (data analytics), so I don't want to make 2 partitions and have duplicate files. What I've read, it seems that ExFat is the best option for this (they are large files, so that the FAT will not work). My work, however, requires external hard drives to encrypt. When I tried to put it on my MacBook Pro (El Capitan), however, I received an error.

  My question is this: is there a way to meet all three of these criteria?

  (1) disk encrypted

  (2) read/write on a mac

  (3) read/write, the same files on a PC

  I have a separate HARD disk for Time Machine, I use an airport. This disc will have to travel with me.

  Thanks in advance!

  If you were able to encrypt it using the built-in OS x software, Windows would not be able to decipher. If you use a Windows build-in encryption software, OS X would not be able to decipher.

  You have to find a 3rd party package that works on BOTH OS X and Windows, which can encrypt and decrypt on both platforms.

  In the past, I would have done TruCrypt, however, he was abandoned by unknown original authors, but there have been a few replacements based on the original source of TruCrypt.  Try googling 'TruCrypt Alternatives' and you might find something where they support the OS X and Windows.

  Otherwise, you will need to find another cross platform encryption package.

• Connection drive external hard am.

  Hello world
  I wonder if it is possible to connect the drive external hard am to z3?
  In the light of others do it on the other android device. Got an otg cable, plugged my HDD but the phone is not supported it or I'm doing something wrong.

  Any help with this would be appreciated.

  Yes, you can check what file system that is used if you connect to a PC, right-click on the drive in the Solution Explorer and select Properties.

  It is possible to convert NTFS to FAT without deleting all data, but I do it without the first run a backup in case something goes wrong. And if you have files bigger than 4 GB it will be problems with these as FAT32 does not support that. exFAT supports, but I didn't know of any tool that can convert NTFS to exFAT without wiping the drive.

• Impossible to mount the drive external HARD under Ubuntu Linux - file system damaged and MFT

  I get the following error when I try to mount my external hard drive on my Ubuntu.

  UNABLE TO MOUNT
  Error mounting/dev/sdc1/media/khalibloo/Khalibloo2: command-line ' mount t 'ntfs' o ' uhelper = udisks2, nodev, nosuid, uid is 1000, gid = 1000, ask dm = 0077, fmask = 0177 "" / dev/sdc1 "" / media/khalibloo/Khalibloo2 "' came out with the exit status no lame 13: ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: input/output error".
  Cannot read MFT, mft = 6 count = 1 br = - 1: input/output error
  Could not open the FILE_Bitmap inode: input/output error
  Failed to mount ' / dev/sdc1 ': input/output error

  NTFS is incompatible, or there is a hardware failure, or it's a SoftRAID(4)/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows, and then restart Windows twice. Using the /f parameter is very important! If the device is a SoftRAID(4)/FakeRAID then frst activate and mount a different device under the/dev/map/directory, (for example/dev/map/nvidia_eahaabcc1). See the documentation for 'dmraid' for more details.

  It is not mount on windows either: "i/o device error".

  This is a disk with a single partition hard ntfs

  Of course, I tried chkdsk /f. reported several file segments as unreadable, he didn't say if he fixed them or not (apparently not). also tried with the indicator/b.

  ntfsfix reported as corrupted volume.

  TestDisk was able to correct a small error with the partition table by adding the '80' for the active partition indicator (only). TestDisk also confirmed that the boot sector was very good and it corresponded to the backup. However, when you try to repair the MFT, he could not read the MFT. He could not also the list of files on the hard drive. It says file system may be damaged.

  Active @ also shows that the MFT is missing or damaged.

  I tried to replace the USB cable. Has not changed anything. I tried to update the driver. Windows reported that he was already up to date. Yes, the pilot has been activated.

  So, how can I fix the file system? or MFT? or the I/o device error?
  I used the HARD drive for months. This problem started 2 days ago. I also tried to mount it on other computers, without success.

  Hello

  I'm sorry to read about problems with your drive.
  Unfortunately, I think that the question is misplaced a bit as your case appears to be the health of your rather external HARD drive that a specific problem related to Linux.

  To add clips, if the tools you use have failed to fix your drive, then I do not think that a user 'normal' forum will no longer.
  I know it's a fine recommendation and probably just add salt in your wounds: If you really care for files, do a sector backup before doing any file system / partition own modifications.
  The reason is very simple - if the tool you use has made a mistake when judging what actions are the right ones, and submit these changes, you move your goal - and fast!
  Instead of repairing, the tool can simply corrupt data even further.
  Any subsequent change aggravates the disorder exponentially.

  Judging by the details in your message, I'm sorry to say that I think your drive is defective, or at least the data is lost.
  Of course some companies will probably be able to restore it, but that normally costs a fortune.

  Unless you are willing to spend astronomical amounts of money on data rescue, so I suggest to accept data loss and look at what you can do with the HARD drive.
  Try to format. No problem, this indicates the drive is defective and must be replaced.

  Sorry for so little help.

• drive external hard connected via usb hub powered Time Capsule guard fall...

  Hello.

  Try using a player external 3.5 "connected via USB hub powered to my Time Capsule to serve as a backup Time Machine secondary.

  When I connect the external hard drive, it turns out, and everything seems good (Yes it is correctly formatted). I see the external hard drive in my time machine preferences panel and also the desktop browser window, etc..

  After selecting the drive hard as the second backup TM, I start TM. After a few minutes the backup fruitbodies. Audit of airport utility, the drive no longer appears in the profile of Time Capsule. I can't turn back the drive without unplugging / plugging the USB cord. I went to HD (WD green 4to) and HGST 4to - deleted both.

  What is the speaker (the box is powered)? Can you have a USB hub between the external hard drive and time capsuls? Something else?

  Just seems like something somewhere that expire, causing it to drop the connection...

  Thanks for your useful suggestions to fix this!

  Is your TC the Gen5, model AC?

  I must say that your experience is not uncommon. I tested it myself recently and was disappointed in how the poor reliability has been... Although not as bad as yours... in fact cutting in a few minutes to start a backup is ridiculous.

  What is the speaker (the box is powered)?

  Quality of the envelope varies a lot... What is it??

  If this is the typical brand X... Plug it into your Mac. is it reliable?

  Go to your control panel and dig up the actual USB chip used... I don't know if we can help on type a lot. But it helps us determine the fleas are a problem.

  I found the hard drive in the finder to mount helped... not the sparsebundle that must be mounted by Time Machine... but the disk must be mounted in the finder so that you can copy files back to him.

  I start TM. After a few minutes the backup fruitbodies.

  Check in the finder, it has created the sparsebundle and works.

  Can you have a USB hub between the external hard drive and time capsuls?

  It's our usual recommendation... but he won't always help... especially if the USB hub is another brand X...

  Note that all societies are changing USB tokens at the drop of a hat... some seller of a rival company arrives and offers them 1 c off the coast of 1 million chips it is common to spend even in the middle of a race. Even the tenors have no satisfactory fixed hardware...

  The computer has loads of memory... and may contain drivers for hundreds of different USB tokens... but the TC is a very limited amount of space and with questions if the driver is not fair.

  I started a thread for a database just now... has not progressed much.

• Drive external HARD with bootcamp partition, does not start?

  Hi all

  If I'm running into a bit of a problem. I had an older macbook pro (mid - 09), kept just upgraded HARD drive I had before I sold it. On this HARD drive, it has a partition Mac OS 10.8, and a boot camp windows partition 7. Now that I have my new Macbook Pro (mid-12), with an impressive but small SSD, I tried to start the windows partition via external enclosure. Im running in some points once I selected the bootcamp on the HARD drive partition. It tries to open windows, but I get the error "Windows failed to Start. Kind of stuck here, seeing that I won't try to Exchange hard disks for obvious reasons. Y at - there a fix, or any way around it?

• Drive external HARD USB will not access the files correctly on Satellite A100-033

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-033 (PSAANE-03J02GEN), running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.
  I have a Western Digital passport external hard drive, which has no power source, because it pulls its power via the USB port.

  Sometimes the player works fine, but I often have huge problems to access files on the drive. Opening a folder can make Windows to hang.

  Open an audio file or a Word can do Word or audio software crash. Copy files often fails and in the process can make the Explorer Windows stop working.

  Recently I tried to copy a 33MB file from the external hard drive to my laptop, and while he did it took more than an hour. So many things can happen, none of them pleasant.

  Problems can occur if the external drive is the only device connected to a USB (apart from an external mouse, I always use), or if the external hard drive is one of a number of devices plugged into my laptop - either separately or through a USB hub (powered or unpowered).

  Anyone know what is happening and how I can make my USB external drive usable? I have two other external drives (powered by their own power source) and they work perfectly.

  Why, most of the time, do drive limp along so badly that they are virtually unusable?

  Hello

  One thing is clear; the problem is definitely related to the external HARD drive and not the laptop. It seems that this problem still occurs if the HD has been connected.

  It of really difficult to say what could be wrong with your external HARD drive
  Maybe HARD drive sectors are corrupt, and therefore you can not open folders and some files stored on the HARD drive.

  Have you tried to format the HARD drive? Check this box and try to save and re-open cases.

• problem drive external hard slate21

  I used an external hard drive on my tab 21, after using it, I tried to use the external hard drive on my pc, I got a notification that the hard disk is not formatted. I tried to connect my slate21 and could be detected. Is it possible that I can recover my files using my pc again?

  You're slate probably messed up the MBR or MFT. For the last of them, tell him-> CHKDSK X: /F (where x is you are the drive letter). If it does not check this out-> http://www.cgsecurity.org/ with this tool you can reset your partition, i.e. If the tool detects it.

  I hope this helps.

  Ninja edit: do not FORMAT YOUR DRIVE, you get files are still there.

• drive external hard letters block

  I bought a new computer.  Ranging from the tp XP 64 pro 7.  I have several external hard drives that I use frequently for backups, etc.  With XP, I was able to assign certain letters to some readers.  After that, whenever I plugged this drive in (all USB), he would get the same letter.  In other words if I had 'J' assigned to a drive, whenever I connected this drive, it would come as 'J' even if a lower letter like 'E' or 'F' could be available.  I remember even now how I did it.  Somewhere in player management control components.  I guess I can do the same in Win 7, but I can't.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand that you want to lock the drive letters for your external drives. I'll be happy to help you.

  I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps you to assign drive letters.

  a. connect your external hard drive

  b. open disk management by using the following procedure:

  c. Click Start

  d. type 'computer management' in the start search box

  e. click on computer management, under storage, click disk management

  f. right click on the drive that you want to name it, click on paths and change the drive letter, choose drive letter you want to use, and then click OK

  g. unplug your hard drive external and reconnect the drive. It should always be assigned to this letter.

  Note: It is best to use the first available drive letter, or the first series of consecutive drive letters in the case of multiple partitions.

  If you still have problems or questions please do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.
