External hard drive detects but does not open without formatting
I can't open my external hard drive. In computer science, it shows just K of disk space, but there is no reading of storage. It says 0 bytes of free space and used as 0 bytes space as it will not be open until I have format. Any kind of help, please let me know. Its a backup disk that have been most hard, though don't know if its of any help.
Hi Deborah,
I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing right now. I will help you on that.
Formatting a disk means configuring the disk with a file system so that Windows can store information in there. Usually, when you install a new hard disk on your computer, it must be formatted with a file system, such as NTFS, Windows can store files that it contains.
Please answer the following questions so that we can better help you.
1 - is the specific problems of a hard drive?
3. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

After that I did any suggestions? !Go to your computer manufacturer's support web site and search for the latest Windows 7 drivers for your specific model number.
Download the drivers to a folder on your hard drive and install all of them, from the card mother/chipset drivers, LAN, Audio, USB, Graphics, SATA, Webcam, Etc., and so on.

Hello, I recently started my Windows XP Dell computer and it should start up normally unless it would run the ChkDsk utility. It would freeze then 68% on stage 1 and goes no further. I called the people of Dell and after trying so many solutions, including safe mode, safe mode with network and CommandPrompt, we ran the diagnosis. The hard drive and memory are fine, no errors. He concluded that it was the operating system and must be restored. However, I have important files, I need to extract from my hard drive and he recommended me an external hard drive. I bought it, but now I'm not sure how to extract my files from my drive hard if Windows can not even boot the desktop computer. Is it possible to extract these files without the use of the desktop computer?
And you've burned the .iso image, and not as data? If Yes, then you have created a bootable CD. Put it in your optical drive and restart the computer. You may need to change the boot order in your BIOS. With some machines, you can get a temporary startup command menu by pressing a function such as F12 at startup. Other computers require that you enter setup and change the boot order in the optical drive first of all from there. When you start your computer it will be information about which key press to enter the BIOS (Setup) or give you the temporary boot order.
After you changed the boot order to boot first from the CD and rebooted the computer, Knoppix will boot. Have your external hard drive connected to the computer before you start doing this. After Knoppix is finished booting, you will be in his office. It will be very similar to Windows. There are icons on the desktop for your internal hard drive and the external hard drive. Copy files from the internal to the external drive as you want. Review what I wrote about the use of Knoppix in my previous answer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

I have a Macbook air running OS X El Capitan. I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices. I don't know if I need to restart the time Capsule or change the wireless setting, etc. ?
Please advise...
The TC appears in airport utility? If not then it is probably not part of your network or is lost... upgrade installed you El Capo because there a lot of questions.
What is the TC plugged into the network by ethernet? And configured properly? Are you to internet via the TC... but can not see his drive... that would be typical?
Have you set Finder preferences to display the network drives? Apple keeps making it difficult for some unknown reason.
You actually have to mount the drive TC if it appears under shared... it still may not appear if you double click on it. Under the search box on the top of the right hand you see Connect (As) box, type the name or IP address of the TC in there... Make sure that you save the password from your keychain.
I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive
For the storage of the files it is fine.
For the execution of direct files for an application in the Mac, you are very likely to damage or corrupt the file at some point.
And how do you do backups? Time Machine can't help you... it won't work.
Backup is crucial, especially if you do things apple say not to do... That is to say move your photos or the iphoto library to the TC and try to use direct from there... expect any day to need a resumption of the library.

If anyone can help. My mcafee security has stopped working. It downloads but does not open it's incompatible. I tried everything I know and would be grateful if anyone can help or has had the same problem thanks
You ask a question of McAfee virus scanner in Windows Security forum. I think that the McAfee FAQ would be a much better place to solve this problem.

Had to reinstall my CS3 because of faulty hard drive. It does not accept my serial number as it says it is already used the maximum number of activations and says I should turn off. I can't as the hard disk failed! Please help.
Have already tried to contact Adobe and they told me to reinstall the program. I did this and the same issue. It's crazy. I can not turn off something that I did not more...
Thank you.
No - I had, of course, tried all these things. Finally, I had someone (after several days) on the personal chat group that could fix and it did it in a few minutes. Too bad that nobody else seemed to be able to do. Adobe is very soft.
I can't thank enough the other person - it was amazing.
