Encrypted drives not mounting (you need to enter disk utility)?

• external hard drive not mounting

  Here it is the end of the year and one of my external hard drives (1 TB Iomega MacMini) decided to not mount on the desktop of my MBP 15 "

  (in early 2011).

  I read a few posts on ways to remedy by making the Kext Utility application, reset the SMC, disk repair/first aid utility, using different cables/ports.

  test another external hard drive (which is mounted using FireWire 800) etc...

  When I look at the MBP in the system report found in 'about this Mac' sees the external hard drive, that I'm putting and yet this car is not editing.

  The Iomega hard drive light flashes and there is power and the whirring of the drive, so that it seems the unit working on it of own but is no longer connection

  on my desk.

  I have Time Machine on two external hard drives, but has a reader is slightly larger than the other, the information stored on both devices is slightly different.

  So, if I can get access to the data from the Iomega hard drive and save it, then I'll be a happy camper and will update to another external drive.

  For now, I hope some of you can provide advice to solve this problem.

  I booked time at the Genius Bar, but nothing is open until next week.

  Looking forward to responses and wish all a happy new year.

  If so, try it on another Mac.  Don't rule out the possibility that the HARD disk is dead.

• Hard drive crashed. You need to activate Vista Home Premium.

  Mick,

  My Gateway laptop hard drive crashed. I bought the new hard drive and installed Vista Home Premium with the recovery disk came with the laptop. After you have installed the software it tells me that I need to activate it. It asks for a product key, but one that came with the laptop is dissipated down. I can't read the product key. So, how can I activate the operating system if it stops telling me to activate it. I wouldn't have to pay for another key because I already paid for it. Any help would be appreciated.

• You need to enter the key of product again after you reset/refresh your pc?

  Hello, I was wondering if you have re - enter product key windows 8 after reset or update the operating system

  For both refresh and reset scenarios, If no information store state or activation activation is available, or if the activation store is unreadable, the activation status will not be preserved. The user must activate again once the operation is complete.

  So, I would say, it depends on how much Windows 8 has been corrupted that force you to use either refresh or reset to 1st place.

  If I have a chance I'll try to refresh and see what happens because I have an Image return and even if the discount asks me to activate I will just restore the image.

Since yesterday, Time machine does recognize more the drive for the installation of the most recent reserve backup copy, The Time Machine, the disk partition is also not found by Finder and when the drive is connected via USB to the MAC, disk utility does not but rest in mode search, without giving any information.

  The MAC system information indicates that all the three partitions connected via the USB bus, ar

  I can't remove the disks with the indications of the boom, but when I remove them physically a warning I thay sgiven the duisk has been removed as not appropriate.

  I think that something is wrong with the partitioning of the disk, but I see no way to retrieve the disc.

  Does have same problem or if it can indicate a path to a solution of the problem.

  Reconnect the drive (and any other external devices)

  If the disc is not visible in disk utility, you can try to connect to another computer and check it or reformat if all else fails.

  a disc formatted in anything other than extended journaled Mac will not be usable with Time Machine. If you need to reformat the drive in NTFS or FAT or ExFat, format Windows PC then reconnect to the mac, once the drive is recognized, reformat with extended Mac.

  It is also possible that the drive is dead. If it is still under warranty it can be replaced, but manufacturers don't offer a premium-free data recovery. see the manufacturer's Web site. you will need the serial number of the drive.

• El Capitan - Ext. USB Drive not mounting

  Since the upgrade to El Capitan, I have not been able to access my external USB drive. I read the other posts about this problem and none of their solutions worked for me. Through repeated trial and error, I came across a solution that allowed me to access my USB drive in El Capitan. By attaching a USB hub to USB port and your device your drive should become accessible. Depending on what type of car you join you may need a powered hub. I enclose a mSATA drive to a hub powered and well.

  Hi Bob, there.

  Looks like you're having connect your USB drive to a hub so that it works with your computer. I would reset your PRAM then your SMC in this order:

  How to reset the NVRAM on your Mac.

  Then:

  Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

  If the problem persists after that I have would then start in safe mode to clear some system-level caches and perform a disk check and repair if necessary:

  Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

  1. Start or restart your Mac.
  2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
  3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

  After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

  To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

  From: try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up

  Once you log in safe mode, reboot normally and try again the reader. Thank you for using communities of Apple Support, let us know how it goes.

• FireWire hard drives not mounting not always

  I have two G - Drive Mini 500 GB external hard drives. I use one on my iMac and the other on my Mac Book Pro. They are both partitioned so that Time Machine will run a single partition and SuperDuper on the other.

  I leave readers to market so that the computer can control them at startup and shutdown.

  The problem is that about 50% of the time, when I start to computers, the hard drive won't install, or sometimes get only one partition.

  When this happens, if both partitions are unable to climb, turn off the player, and then, and the player then goes up (most of the time).

  If only one partition goes, I have everything first eject the partition and then turn the disc and the.

  This has happened for years, with different firewire cables and external drives of different model.

  It is an intermittent problem. (My favorite kind!)

  A USB cable would improve this situation?

  I have not yet tried.

  Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  P.S. I'm on OS X 10.11.3 on both computers, although this problem exists with several older versions of the OS.

  The problem returned on my MBP last night and my iMac this morning.

  I went from Firewire cables USB to see if that helps.

  Will report back in a few days.

• CD/DVD Drive not reading CD, need help to diagnose.

  My CD player stopped suddenly reading CD. It has been a little flawed for some time now, but never had any problems with the playback of the media.

  Features: CPU - Q6600 OC @2.8, motherboard - Asus P5KC (Intel P35), GPU - Palit GTX460 Sonic, RAM - Samsung DDR2 @ stock 800 mhz, hard drive - TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS - H653F ATA Device

  Here's a quick list of nonlethal problems so far:

  • Loudly spinning upwards at the start, causing sometimes windows to take more time to start (breaks on a black screen before the loading bar appears), while the player rotation.
  • When open immediatately closes.
  • Very slow to install programs on CD (compared to the old disk)

  As a referance, is a replacement of CD that came with the pc drive. I fried the on-board network and the IDE port on my motherboard while installing a new CPU fan (located at the bottom of the motherboard), I bought this as a replacement a year ago and I pluged in a SATA 2 slot.

  I recently installed a new graphics card and had to reorganize some cables so that it, I checked all the cables to make sure they are in place, but its possible that the connected cables are still loose, some futher information that I'll write below may help you to understand if it is possible.

  The main problem I have is with it not reading CD, but the above can be useful for diagnostic purposes.

  Basically the drive is detected by Device Manager and apparently "works", drivers are installed correctly and it reacts in OS for opening/closing of orders from status bar.

  He just thinks it is still empty.

  The problem started after a windows update that may or may not be a link the ancestral of the problem. I do not do drive but have used about three days before the startup problem.

  Any help is very appreciated

  Burpleronnie

  Hi burple,.

  Looks like the CD player is a failure.

  The computer can be set to boot from this drive first, and he is suspended because the drive does not respond properly.

  I suggest to try the drive in another computer or another drive in this computer if possible.

• Hitachi external hard drive not detected on Windows 7. Disk Management displays "No Media"

  OP: New computer with Windows 7 cannot display files on external hard drive Hitachi

  My Hitachi hard drive is compatible with Windows 7.  This hard drive was working properly with my old computer using Windows XP.  I can see the device in the Device Manager, but I can't view the files.  In disk management, the drive is listed at the bottom of the screen, but said "No Media", however there is almost 50 GB of data stored.

  The hard drive shows in the list of devices and printers when I opened that folder, but does not appear in the list of hard drives on my computer.

  I still don't understand what happened, but I've decided how to fix it.

  After trying my hard drive locked on 4 computers with Windows installed (two with Windows 7) and two with XP and having no success, I decided to plug it into a computer using a Linyx OS (Obuntu).  The computer recognizes my hard drive and open.  Then I was able to use the Windows System.  I managed to freeze hard drive again and he cured the same way.  Maybe this will help also, if you have access to a computer with this operating system.  Maybe a mac would also work.

• Satellite L500-246 - HARD drive not found in BIOS

  Good afternoon

  My problem is that I have a Toshiba L500 - 246 to oblivion, put a password on Windows 7 and now, don't remember.

  I decided to start over and delete the entire computer. I clean the fan, I put thermal paste to the processor and the graphics card and decided to delete all partitions and create one.
  Want to boot from the DVD, I went into the BIOS to change the BOOT boot, and on the first screen, I get the following message: "HDD / SSD not installed '." I changed the settings in BIOS, but still the same.

  When I enter the Windows 7 DVD, you read me well until the window that says he needs the control disk, and in this window, I don't see any disk. I tried with two SATA drives, and I get the same message.

  Put his ear on the hard disk drive to start the laptop computer is the sound characteristic of light, but still do not leave anything in the BIOS.

  Now, enter in the browser to find the driver, I get the following:

  A X startup disk: 30 MB of capacity

  The USB flash drive appears as drive me C:

  And finally, I get the CD in D drive:

  Why could this be?
  Why do I get the USB as a C drive?

  Thanks and greetings

  Your ad is really confusing.

  First, it would be useful to know if the SSD or HARD disk drive is listed in the BIOS (BIOS first page)
  If his list, the HARD drive is OK and follow along you with the installation of the system
  If it is NOT listed, you need to replace the HARD drive

  Lets assume, the HARD drive is OK and you have started the installation.
  During the installation of Windows, you will be asked to add the SATA controller.

  You will find on the page of the Toshiba UE driver the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver
  This driver contains the SATA files that you add during the installation of Windows.

  Hope this helps

• How to clean my disk overloaded space in C drive? Almost complete. Says "low disk space". Thank you in advance.

  How to clean my disk overloaded space in C drive?  Almost complete.  Says "low disk space".  Thank you in advance.

  I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, and place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

  Follow a few basic maintenance note.

  1.5 the tool provided in Windows to remove unwanted temporary files is disk cleanup. To access this tool select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. You must then run Disk Defragmenter.

  1.6 using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before that the error occurred initially, do not use this option.

  1.7. If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

  1.8. a better alternative program to disk cleanup is cCleaner. The freeware version works well for a home user and must be downloaded from Piriform program provider:
  http://www.CCleaner.com/download

  1.9. When you open cCleaner you will see four large icons to the left of the window. Here's cleaner them, registry, tools, and Options. For routine maintenance, you normally acceding Cleaner (this is not the mentioned registry cleaner later). When using for the first time only, you can accept the default settings.

  1.10. some observations on the parameters. On my computer, I do not have the boxes before the passwords saved selected. In a less secure environment, you could check this option and set cCleaner to run automatically when the computer starts. You also cannot check the boxes in front of shortcuts from the Start Menu, desktop shortcuts and historical form. You must check the boxes according to your needs. Bad first time options causes irritating no disasters.

  1.11. the second icon that you see when you open cCleaner's registry. A reserve many experienced users have about cCleaner, it's that it comes with a registry cleaner. This tool should not be used. By using a registry cleaner, but it is the case, provides significant benefits and there is always the risk of creating insoluble system errors, which cannot be resolved by reinstalling the operating system and all that that implies. You will avoid any possible problem of not not by clicking on the Save icon.

  1.12 the third icon that you see when you open cCleaner is tools. If you click this icon, it gives you access a routine plus service options. The first two tools are uninstalled and commissioning. I do not use these tools, preferring to use other software options. The third tool is the restoration of the system, which is covered in the next paragraph. The fourth tool is Wiper Drive and you will find reviews about this tool later

  1.13 removing the system restore points can be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments. This makes it easier to hold the restore points for long periods without keeping large unwanted files, whose inflexible approach to disk cleanup fails to offer.

  1.14. you can't remove the last restore point using the cleaning disc or cCleaner. If the last restore point contains malicious software, you can turn off and then turn on system restore. This has the disadvantage that restore all points are removed when you want to keep more restore points that are not infected. How to get round this problem is to create a new restore point when you are satisfied with your computer is free of malware and then remove the infected restore point.

  1.15. in normal circumstances, you probably rarely need to use Driver wiper. However, there are situations like if you gave the computer to someone else, then the tool may be useful. Please note that the wiper Drive, opening, generates a warning message, which should not be dismissed lightly. Using wiper Drive for the wrong reason could have serious consequences.

  1.16 the fourth icon is labeled Options. Many configuration options are available here. You can configure cCleaner to run when start you but remember that this will slow down the boot. Another setting allows you to include or exclude cookies. Yet another allows files named to exclude.
