  • Error 0x8007045D when copying files from computer to external hard drive

    I am trying to copy some files from my drive HARD outside., but I get this error (error 0x8007045D: the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error).

    I run windows check disk on my external hard drive, I tried to run windows defrag, but it takes too Lowe and cancel (external HARD disk is 1 TB). I download a software defrag and defragmented my hard drive using fast (the software is O & O Defrag). I tried on another computer and got the same error. Is it a hardware problem. Y at - there any possibility to fix it. Thank you for helping

    Hello Nyfixen,

    1. have you changed the permission for the external hard drive or files you are trying to copy?

    2. you have all important data (files) stored on the external hard drive?

    3. are you able to copy the external hard drive to the computer?

    The Autorun.inf could not be a problem for that. It always seems to be a problem of permission for me. Some hard drives have a jumper on them for write protection. You should check the configuration of jumpers, thank you consult the manual that came with the hard drive for permissions.

  • What is an I / Q error? This occurs with the backups using external hard drive SeaGate

    We have two external hard drives; a 3Terabyte (don't know how it) Seagate and another whose name escapes me. On the Seagate, I get the message: backup did not complete due to I / Q error. What is I / Q error and how to fix this? If all goes well, not a complicated process.

    Thanks for any help. Hope I selected the areas to fix this, below.

    Hello

    I assumed that by I / Q error you mean error e/s? Run chkdsk on the drive Seagate:

    Start > Search bar > type cmd right click and select run as administrator

    High CMD should now be open, type the following:

    CHKDSK x: /r

    x involves the reader of your letter, so if your hard drive in question is the letter c, it would be:

    CHKDSK c: /r

    Restart the system and allow to run chkdsk.

  • Received error BSOD, ran Diagnostics, got the error code 2000-0146, tried to boot from different HARD drive, got the same stop error message

    So my friend gave me his computer dell laptop. The thing would boot normally for a few days until he would give me a blue screen of death with the "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" message constantly to not even upward. I ran the diagnostics and got the error code 2000-0146. What I've read, this code error means that the HARD drive is bad and must be replaced. So, to make sure that it's the hard drive, tried to boot from an old hard drive, I got around the installation by USB and windows gave me the same stop error message. May - so that means it's a motherboard problem?

    No, it isn't - unless the operating system was installed on this drive AND the system in question, that it won't work as a bootable drive.

    Unplug the system, remove or disconnect the battery and hold the power for 30 seconds approximately.  Turn on and re-run the diagnostic tests - if the same error appears again, the drive is bad.  Replace it.

  • Impossible to partition external hard drive

    I have two HD with files in MS-DOS (FAT) format. But I have a few files more than 5 GB, so I would like to create a partition exFAT, without losing the original files (aka, without formatting the HD).

    One of them, when I use disk utility, I open the menu of partitioning, but when I try to add a new partition (by clicking on the button +) nothing happens! See the screenshot:

    The other is won't let me even open the menu score (it's gray, and I can't click it):

    What should I do?

    Thank you

    You can't resize a FAT partition. You cannot create a partition where there is no free space to do so. You can not re-partition / re - format the drive without erasing it.

    original title: update for the usb drive problem

    2 things really:

    Should I really all these updates unhappy? My computer spends much more of his time fiddling with updated it and update that never it does nothing I want to do. (Where do you want to go today? I want to lose my afternoon watching this stupid update new thing!) I'm sick of forever updated. And...

    Hello SidBloggs,

    Did you first disabled automatic updates by following these steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Turn-automatic-updating-on-or-off

    Once they are off have you tried every day updates individually and you determine who updates is causing the problem with your hard drive?

    Maybe it's just that the update interferes with the driver that you have for your hard drive and it may need an updated driver.
