Elements6 do not recognize the external hard drive.
I used elements 6 under windows7 with my external hard drive. Lightning fried my hard drive and I installed a new and upgraded to windows 8.
I installed elements6. It does not recognize my external hard drive now. Windows 7, my external hard drive has been designated "H". Under windows
8 now is "D". Is that what I can do to not lose all my work on the external hard drive? I went to adobe but not help there.

And if you explore D: in solution, your file Explorer?

Lightroom does not recognize the external hard drive?
When I try to import files from anywhere - my office, or a SD - card in Lightroom 4 or now 6 (updated just to see if it would help), Lightroom is the photo file in what I would call an external hard drive of ghost. It creates a second external hard drive file that seems to be a copy of the original. A few weeks ago, the name of external hard drives has been accidentally changed or partially erased when I backup my hard drive without supervision in Time Machine. I'm working on an iMac with OS 10.11.4. At that time there Lightroom could not find any of my files of course! So, I renamed with much attention the hard drive exactly the same original name and Lightroom everything very well - recognized except, I started having this problem of import. When I import a file of the photo, he put it in an external hard drive of Ghost with the same name, size and number of files. If I try to move the file to the real external hard drive where it is supposed to go, Lightroom told me that the file already exists in Lightroom. If I look in my external drive outside of Lightroom, the file is where it is supposed to be. I tried just 'Add' the file to Lightroom, rather than copy or move, and that's okay. I tried to re-pointing Lightroom on your drive. Does not work. The only way I can get the files to go where I want they is to import, then highlight the recently imported file and move it to the folder of the mother. So, I have to move the file into the folder of the mother in the subfolder and then delete the now empty ghost the disk folder manually hard phantom. Help! Is there a way to merge the external hard drive with his ghost (or duplicate)? I can't find anything in the forums or documentation, and when I tried to call tech support, I came across a brick wall which is very frustrating. They said I couldn't get help by phone, I have to use the forums. So, please, let me know what I can try.
Hello Deborah
Seems to me this is probably a problem of conflict with the readers in your catalog and LR is confusing where to put images and creates a clone instead. You have to work smart to get rid of the clone disk keeping the images with the same folder structure. If it's a long process, however, I'll try to be as simple as I could.
To do a test at White folder on the drive itself out of Lightroom that must be maintained at the same place where the main images folder (main folder means - the very first folder under your player in your catalogue which should include all subfolders on the disc itself), then put a picture in the test folder and import it. the test folder will be part of the new drive of clone in catalog you would then move the main folder of the Original disc to the Clone drive in your catalog. Once you are done with the displacement of all the structures of folders in the test under drive clone folder. The original drive that was not identified by Lightroom would be gone if this isn't the case you can remove it manually and this is how you would leave with single drive with all your files/images existing and if you try to import the images now. They would go directly in the same destination folder that you choose on the screen to import instead of going in any drive clone/ghost.
Thanks Deborah for bringing This issue to our view. And I amso glad I was able to solve this problem for you on call.

USB 2.0 profits do not recognize the external hard drive: Matsunichi model DM189
I have a HP Pavilion dv4-1125nr, running Vista Home Premium 64 - bit with Service Pack 2. When I plug my: matsunichi dm189 60GB drive external hard - driver has not loaded - poster Device Manager as unknown device USM - works fine under xp sp3
I thought about it. If often, we try to solve the problems of jump to the 'mountain' rather than from the "mole hill" - which means find the obvious solution rather than jumping to some exotic solution.
In this case, I plug the USB cable into the hard drive: Matsunichi then plug it into a USB 2.0 on my XP desktop computer and the hard edge has been recognized and the drivers installed.
Whenever I tried to connect the hard drive: Matsunichi (already connected to the USB cable) to my laptop Vista OS based, nothing worked.
HOWEVER, I tried to plug the USB cable in the Vista OS laptop based FIRST, and then plug it: hard Matsunichi THEN push the USB CABLE, everything has worked. Vista the: Matsunichi has recognized as a USB mass storage device and loaded the driver without problem. GISH.
Logically, since the HDD: Matsunichi pulls its power through the USB 2.0 port, it simply "Boats" on the power and Vista sees the device and load a generic mass storage device driver.
Why does not load Vista as XP but requires the USB cable plugged into a USB 2.0 port 1, who knows.

Historical files does not recognize the external hard drive
Original title: the best backup software in addition to the history of files on Windows 8?
I have a Seagate Free Agent external drive which works fine and I can transfer stuff to him without error, but when I try to use it as my backup for Windows 8 file story... drive it is not recognized. I tried to format it and stuff, but no luck. What backup software I should try instead?
There are a lot of choices. You could 'rolling' and just create a scheduled task to run the xcopy command, and copy your files changed, replacing the old backups. However, it's messy. File history gives historic change-of-change of version of the files in place.
You can also use a tool like SyncToy to accomplish the same thing as xcopy, but retains the same limitations (no version control).
I personally just store all my files in OneDrive. Then they are local on my C: drive, more in the cloud, the more on my other computer, as in my automated backups my external hard drives. I am therefore quite redundant in my backups, even if OneDrive se is not intended as a backup service (but there is no version history / modified files).
Given the predominance of backup as Carbonite and Norton backup services (best practices than those who are 'off-site' and in the cloud, and so they are safer than local backups), I prefer to recommend these first. But I'm sure that some other users of the forum have some ideas of good backup software too.

Make sure you use your laptop, 3 USB ports, not then a USB 2 port to see if one will work. If it does not power up to contact Western Digital for support.
