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.
In the worst case that the external HARD drive has a hardware malfunction

10 elements will not open the file RAW of Nikon D7100
I upgraded my camera to a Nikon D7100, PES 10 will not open the raw file. Y at - it a upgrade for PES 10, I've updated as much as I can. I think it is 6.4. Help
The D7100 requires at least Camera Raw 7.4. This version is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 10. You must either upgrade your Photoshop Elements (the current version is 14) or use the DNG Converter (free from Adobe) to make copies DNG that you can use in 10 items.

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.

I'm going crazy trying to find an answer to this question! My external hard drive has shown in the past but not now shows in disk utility. My OS is X El Capitan.
I tried to turn off my computer then unplug my external hard drive waiting for 30 seconds back on my computer and plug my hard drive with no joy.
I hope someone can help.
Hi willy of San Jacinto.
I understand that your external hard drive is no longer seen by your computer. I know it's important to have a good backup location, and for that to work, I am so happy to provide assistance with this.
Read this article on troubleshooting USB devices:
OS X El Capitan: If a USB device does not work
If your computer is yet to see the hard drive after following these steps, it would be interesting to test this drive on another computer if available. If you continue to have problems, I suggest contacting the manufacturer of the hard disk on a hardware failure possible.
Thank you for using communities of Apple Support, cheers!

New device of U2 vCenter 5.5 will not access the network
Hello
I just installed a new 5.5 ESXi host and on that I deployed the OVF of the original version of vCenter 5.5. It worked, but I wanted to try the new vCenter 5.5 U2. So, I deleted the old device of my ESXi host and deployed the OVF of Unit 5.5U2 vCenter.
As a first step, this unit could not get a DHCP address (was the old server to the device). I connected and run/opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_config_net and set up my gateway, IP address, host name and the DNS servers. After you apply the configuration, I was unable to ping the new vCenter device. A reboot didn't help. In addition, the shell, I am unable to ping my local gateway.
Where to resume the troubleshooting? I did other changes to the device when it was deployed.
Something really strange is passed to the physical card on the ESXi host - I noticed that my test Server 2003 guest was not either the ping requests. Restart the host did not help.
On vSwitch0, I have changed the NIC to 1000/full, had a mistake, changed to automatic, and then things trading as magically started working.
