External hard drive for source files

Windows 7. Body CC x 2014

I would like to set up a or external hard drives for source files so that I can change my laptop on the location of a specific project (that is to say, I can't use my office)

What is the best solution?

* USB 3 SSD

* USB 3 at 7200 RPM hard drive

Can I use two external USB 3 drives?

Can I quote the external drive so that I have no file linking issues?  IE the volume name remains the same whenever I have to reconnect to it?

* I ask here first of all because I have to buy the appropriate disks until I can test anything.

Thanx.

USB3 for SSD is the fastest solution. Set both computers to use the same drive letter of the volume on the port USB3, for example of letter P for portable in disk management. For a second port USB3, you can use a different volume drive letter.

Simple steps:

  1. Format the drive and give a volume name.
  2. In disk management, assign a drive letter, for example P.
  3. Connect the drive to another computer and repeat step 2 here.

The volume name remains unchanged and the drive letter remains the same on both computers.

    You can restore backed up files lost, damaged, or accidentally modified versions. You also to restore files individual, groups of files, or all files that you have saved.

    If you are restoring files from a backup that was made on another computer, the files are restored in a folder under the user name that was used to create the backup. If the user names are different, you must navigate to the folder where the files are restored.

  • I've just backed up with an external hard drive for the first time, but my profile with my folders for photos, documents, and movies are not there

    Hello

    So, I finally got an external hard drive. I formatted for Mac (the device has been verified as being correct), and then he started to do a backup, which stated that a full backup would take 95GB. However, it only supported 19GB.  When I have my 'open' backup drive, I saw that only 'Macintosh HD' received support upward, not my user profile with all my folders containing documents, photos, movies, etc...

    I'm quite confused, because I thought that it would save.  I plan on Snow Leopard update to El Capitan, but if something is wrong or I don't like, I'm afraid that I won't be able to restore all my personal files - but only the applications that are on my Macintosh HD.

    Should I delete everything in my backup disk and try again?

    This is an image of what's inside my external hard drive:

    You have not indicated how you have saved, if you've used Time Machine then you do things the hard way and you'll find very difficult TM. Please use the Time Machine interface to locate your saved data. You can benefit from the research on:

  • Network external hard drive for media sharing on Xbox 360

    Hello, I just got a new external hard drive. I put a bunch of video files and music to share with my xbox 360. I use windows media player to make the media sharing. I got no problem with it for my regular hard drive in my computer. The first time I plugged my external hard drive to my computer and transferred the files added to the library, it worked fine and the xbox it would be. But after that I restarted my computer, my xbox can't see my external hard drive. I gave her a permanent using MMC drive letter and drive management. But for some reason any xbox will simply not show more. Any ideas? Thank you.

    I had the same problem

    1. Reset the wmp library
    2. Turn on file sharing for each folder on the external hard drive, including the player itself using the same settings.

    3. remove the Xbox 360 exceptions in your firewall

  • Using an external hard drive for backup

    I used Windows backup backup all my files on My Passport external hard drive 500 mgs.  Now my files are all screwed up, and when I try to restore using Windows Vista I get an error message telling me "the disk containing the backup is not accessible.  Make sure that it is turned on and connected to the computer", but it is connected and turned on.   It appears in my computer.  But looked funny, are compressed files and I can't open them. How can I get Windows to recognize the device he used to back up my files?

    Unfortunately, before I had the chance to do it, a Microsoft window pops up telling me he had to download a program to read my external backup hard drive.  Then my files were not only foires on my passport, but also on my laptop.  I was too scared to try anything else on my own at this time there and took it to a computer repair store.  They managed to find all my files and all is well.

    Thanks for your comments, anyway.

    You can not install Windows 7 on an external drive. Windows 7 requires that install you it on an attached storage device internally. What you can do is to back up your current installation of Windows 7 on a hard drive external. Install a new hard drive, then restore the backup of this drive. To learn more:

  • With the help of a backup on an external hard drive to transfer files to a new computer.

    I recently got a new computer and I need to transfer my files via my new computer. Both computers running Windows 7. I have an external hard drive that has all my files from my old computer on it. I went into the control panel configuration, then system and security, and then in the backup and restore. I then clicked on "select another backup to restore files from" and looked for my external drive. I made sure that it was connected and up-to-date as well. However, he never showed up.

    I would like to manually just transfer the files, but it seems as if there are readers split on this computer for 'BONES' and 'DATA '. For this reason, I'm not sure which car I'd put even files on.

    How can I transfer these files?

    Hello

    I understand that you are having problems with the restoration of the backup files of the external hard drive. Correct me if I misunderstood the question.

    (1) what is the version of Windows 7 is installed on your computer?

    (2) have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    (3) you receive an error message when you try to restore?

    I suggest you to consult and follow the steps in the links and check if the problem persists.

  • need help syncing replacement of the external hard drive for Lightroom

    Hello Lightroom community.

    I've exhausted my research and am now seeking help. Please direct me to this information in the forum if it exists. Also, I am a novice and while I am learning lightroom quickly with all my time spent in forums and online videos, I am limited in my understanding of how it all works.

    Problem: I store my Lightroom Catalog and backups on my portable MacBook Pro. I use two external hard drives to store all my images and store my time machine backups. My external hard drive (1-hand) and my external hard drive (2-Back-up) were also well synchronized with the catalog and recognized by lightroom when I edited the pictures. I mainly used the DHM 1-hand when I edited, especially when I went. Last month, my main 1 - EHD died and was unrecoverable. I got lucky that my backup drive (DHM 2-back-up) has always had the images and changes.

    In order to quickly save my 'JEP 2-back-up"to a new 'Hand' work external hard drive replacement, I dragged and dropped the backup disk images to the new"Main"drive so that I can sleep at night. This gave me the peace of mind that all of my images and backups time machine were now on two disks again. (Note: the new ' hand ' disk has a different name. ") Is this important?)

    How can I get Lightroom to recognize and sync with my new drive and photos? Is there a simple way to do this or do I have to restart the process from the beginning? If so, where should I start? I'm afraid to attempt without some advice/suggestions from the experts.

    Thank you for any information, you can pass it along! Please let me know what I can provide additional information.

    Side note: when I looked to import the images of the new 'Hand' DHM - although this would make duplicates-Lightroom recognized that there are duplicates. So, where is the missing link?

    If you can rename the new primary drive to match exactly the name of the previous main drive, that should correct the problem.

    If this is not the case, then you want to open your Lightroom Catalog and then reconnect the top-level folder that contains your pictures by right-clicking on this top-level folder and then to find Missing folder pointing Lightroom on the equivalent top level on your new drive main folder. The details are described here (see Figure 4): Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

    Side note: re-import never corrects this problem, it only makes it worse. Never use to reimport into solution in Lightroom.
