• How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

  How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

  I have several laptops and iMacs. I spent the relocation of the year and only used the MacBook Pro.

  Now I'm trying to figure out which drive goes with which computer

  I connected just a disk seagate 1.5 t and the first thing he did was to ask if I wanted to use it as a Time Machine drive.

  (1) if it is the TM disk accompanying this computer don't would not it have just started upward automatically?

  (2) what happens if I would have said yes?

  (3) I don't even know if it's been activated for TM. Is there a way to tell? It may hold just for iMovie files and other programs associated with a computer from my past.

  All readers of backup Time Machine contains a folder named: Backups.backupdb. If you open this folder, you'll find another folder with the name of the computer that has been saved. If several computers have been saved on the same disk, you will have several folders.

• Error message "display driver has failed but has now recovered.

  I received a message on my PC saying "display driver has failed, but has now recovered," I got a black screen when it happened.  Does anyone know what this means?

  Jack

  It is more informative than an error message.  If she does not recover, it would be a problem.  You may be able to solve it by installing the latest video driver available.

• drive external drive has a drive letter after changing from fat32 to ntfs

  I have an external drive seagate expansion 1 TB that has a usb 2.0 and the source of clean energy, which I transferred all music, videos ect.

  I thought I'd be smart and plug it into my xbox360 to live stream vids but all I ended up doing was changing all files to FAT32. I went through the process of change it back to ntfs and then rebooted my pc, but now the external hard drive has no drive letter or icon, although I can always find it plugged into usb as mass storage and it looks like that there are still files.

  Ive tried to make the new drive letter in disk management, but the option is not available, ive also tried ubcd but if honest im im not for sure how to run the program and connecting it to another pc does nothing. Ive tried also to update driver, but all it says it is only his good health and no new update.

  Is that what I do will allow me to open the external hard drive and keep my files that I hope is still intact to take it to a pro to fix...

  Your description of what you did does not sense, so it is difficult to determine what are the things to the State in so it is difficult to give you advice on how to solve this problem.

  As a first observation, although when you got first the reader he might well have been formatted in FAT32, storage of files on it has no "Edit."  Because Windows understands FAT32, files would have stored on the HDD external and recovered as usual.  However, FAT32 imposes a 4 GB file size limit, so if you work with video, you probably want to reformat the drive to NTFS.  Sure, reformatting the drive erased everything that was on the disk, so I hope you kept your files to their original location before formatting.  If you format the drive without saving files AND that you have not used the drive, you can recover the data by using a tool likeRecuva data recovery.  Of course, the recovery of a 1 TB drive will take time...

  Please, step by step in detail what you were doing as "the process of change to ntfs.

  Please describe what shows disk management, in the upper pane, both in the lower pane.

  There should be 10 columns in the upper pane:
  Volume
  Page layout
  Type
  File system
  Status
  Capacity
  Free space
  % Free
  Fault tolerance
  Overhead

  The lower pane should have a color bar (or bars) that indicates if the space is used as a partition primary, unallocated, etc..  You can see the colors associated with different types on the view > settings > appearance tab.  The lower pane should also indicate if the drive is "online".

• What does a message stating that AMD driver has failed and recovered display mean successfully?

  Mr President.

  When I changed the wallpaper of my HP G6 2231tx notebook, a message indicating that "AMD display driver failed and recovered" appeared recently and my display freezes for a few seconds. Is this some kind of hardware problem. And mine is a new machine. Will this problem persists. Is there a cure for this kind of questions.

  Unfortunately, this is a normal phenomenon on virtually all Windows desktop computers and laptops with modules and Radeon HD graphics cards. This means that the driver has crashed, but the operating system he recovered and it works again.

  Yes, it will never happen. I recommend you keep an eye on the pilot of the AMD graphics driver download section in the web portal for your laptop support for updates.

  You can also just run the application development in demand for support from HP a month. The HPSAwill advise you if there are updates available and help you install them.

• My hard drive has failed. I have Microsoft XP media center edition 2005. How can I get a recovery disk?

  I had a hard disk crash.  I don't care about data loss, but I bought a new hard drive and you want to install Windows XP media center edition 2005.  I have a sticker on the side of my pc with the product code.  How can I get a recovery disk?  Download the program from another PC?

  As your original failed hard drive, you would of course not be able to access any partition contained on this hard drive recovery.  Therefore, your best option is to contact the manufacturer of the computer and see if you can get the installation of their own media.
