    Hi samanthaGibbons,

    What is the make and model of your USB Flash drive?

    The USB Flash drive works in any other computer?

    It might be a problem with the drive itself, or it may need to be formatted.

    I suggest you check out the website of the manufacturer for possible troubleshooting or know how to reformat the disk, if necessary.

  • "You must format the disk in drive J: before you can use it"

    Says error message "You must format the disk in drive J: before that you can use" I have a removable USB storage drive that I always connected to my computer whenever I have download movies save disk space on my computer.  Now, he wants me to format this disk storage.  Also, where he used to qualify this drive as "Removable disk", it is not labeled as Local J: drive. I don't want to format this drive because it erases all my files and folders on removable USB storage drive.  Please help me.

    I had the same problem.
    And I have a solution for you... The problem is that when you plug in your HD first, Windows 7 install your hard drive and associate it with only this USB port (whether the USB port "4") If you want to use (HD) again, you need to plug it into the same USB port (USB port '4'), where it was first installed. It's stupid! But that's how it worked with my HD.

    Try all USB ports you have on your PC.

    Good luck.

    Hope this has been helpful. : D

    PS: the same problem is with all the damage that connect you to your pc.

    1. when exactly you get this message?

    IType.exe is a process belonging to the Microsoft Intellitype keyboard software. This can probably occur due to corruption in the registry for the key intellitype.

  • Filed to load the disk access driver

    Partition Wizard displays "Classified to load the disk access driver" after his laptop with ThinApp.

    Could you please tell me how to fix this error.

    I bet that the application has a device driver, used for access to / manipulate the disc. ThinApp can virtualize device drivers. Generally, disk tools are poor candidates for ThinApp. You don't want a virtualization layer between your disk tool and the disk.

    The cmdlet Set-HDD wants something, such that returned by Get - hard drive to the hard drive setting.

    Easier is to use the pipeline (see also example 1 on the hard disk-Get help).

    1. this process was applicable to environmental esx3.0. 3.5 brings the ability to resize the disk through VC - which means no required command line.

    2. he need a second System 2003 because they extended the partition system (c :) drive. You indicated that you extend the E: drive, so no need to another windows system.

  • Stuck the disk in drive

    Help me please anyone who is an expert in computers. I decided to put on a software for my PSP disk and that the disk is smaller than your average CD drive so it got stuck when I inserted it and now it won't come out! Help me!!!
    It's a DELL Inspiron 530 and the hard drive is very thin and the disc fits in the space that the disk drive occupies when it is not open. I tried to get him out, but he is stuck. Help!

    Hello NixiePixie,

    Thank you for your message.  Your computer is a laptop or a desktop computer?  In a desktop computer, there is usually a small hole on the front that you can use an object (such as a paper clip) to insert and open the door.  If you use a laptop, you can completely remove the player, it is difficult to know exactly how the disc is stuck, but if it's the drive itself and the computer, remove the drive should free up.  Please let us know the result.
    See you soon

  • Download message "You need to format the disk in drive Z" for an external hard drive that I serve.

    I have a HP Personal Media Drive that fits into a Bay on my HP computer and this is where I store all my files. This morning, I get the message that I need to format disk, which I'm not won't to do what I'd lose all the stored files. I tried a restore to a last week, changing the letter assigned to the drive, downloaded Recuva and Easeus, which does not recognize the drive as an option by attaching it to my XP laptop, where I get also to be format option, so I am at a loss of how to proceed. I read all the Articles of current forum to address the situation, but nothing has worked. The HP Media Drive has been formatted at the factory for an NTFS file system, so this isn't a problem. Any assistance you can give for me to recover the files that are stored on this drive would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • "You must format the disk in drive J (k) before you can use it?"

    Hello

    I have a great difficulty to access my external HARD drive. A (Title) error message when I try to connect my HARD drive to pc.

    I have 4 partitions in the disk of which 2 are accessible and 2 are not. Although I have seen some posts regarding this problem already posted, but still nothing has helped me. I tried after restarting the pc, change the name of the drive (from j to o), run the command chkdsk J:/f cmd of switching on the usb ports, but nothing has worked. Except noticed something strange about the file system that is mentioned in RAW instead of NTFS format before the two discs.

    I've attached a screenshot of disk management box, if this can help...

    Thank you!!

    Hey there SimranpreetSingh :)

    I'm sorry for the situation. What is the make and model of drive? Partitions or drives in RAW format are usually those with broken partition tables. For the best chance of getting your data I contact a data recovery company, but bear in mind that their services can be very expensive.

    Some third-party tools are available online, but I can't really recommend a because they are not sure 100%.

    Discs can go in raw if they are not ejected correctly with the safe-eject function. This function checks if all the requests and transfers to and from the reader are completed and that nothing will be lost when you remove the drive. The operating system writes a small amount of data on the disc when he checks everything and then renders the drive secured to eject it. The next time you plug the player into a system, it will try to locate this data element and if it does not find it will recognize the disk as a RAW disk or should be a disc format in order to work with it.
