• "My external hard drive does not appear in Windows Explorer and cannot open 'Help and Support', an error message" Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing.

  Original title:

  Everything was fine until yesterday. Juice now, when I plugged the external HD into the USB port it does not appear in the 'my computer' window. It is recognized by the computer as it is present on the list of the "Disk Clean Up" and it also appears when I click on ' Safe Remove Hardware ' on the taskbar. But if she does not appear in the 'my computer' window I can't work with it or don't even know what it I have arquived in it.

  Trying to find a solution, I realized that same 'information system' to 'System tools' is also not available. Pops up a window saying that "Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing enforcement. " To resolve this problem, start the service named help and Support '. OK, I tried to open 'Help and Support' ' Start Menu ' and the same window appeared again to "not have a system service that runs". I don't know what her soul precisely and I have not the slightest idea of what I need to do to correct this 'disappearance' of Service 'system '. There is nothing without the appearance of HD in the window of thw work? Everything else works fine and the calculation is virus-free. What should I do?

When I connect it it seems to connect (it lights up), and when he did it before she would open a window that would ask if I wanted to open and examine its contents. It does not now. When I go to Start computer it is no longer present upward with the other HD etc. I took it on another computer and it worked fine. I wonder if a driver does not work?

• External hard drive to format HFS + (not OS x) and Time Machine boot

  Hello, I have a MBP of 2014 (10.11.2).  Have a 2 TB external drive SG was NTFS but reformatted using THE HFS + and created two partitions of 1 TB (Yes, for my intended purpose in hindsight should have apparently formatted to a ready drive "Time Machine").  But just went with HFS + and Time Machine is ready to use one of the partitions to backup nonethelss.

  Hmm... but 1) TM do not encrypt, and more important again, I wonder if TM 2) can perform full restore from a drive WITHOUT the OS X on the ext drive (no matter the format HFS + appropriate)?

  (FYI, I received a warning when you use CCC related attempt to clone the drive to this disc hard ext, but received a warning "not re-bootable from any OS X").  Thank you!

  HFS + Mac OS Extended is what should be the disk.

• Windows 8 ceased to recognize the external hard drive.

  Original title: Windows 8

  Windows 8 stopped recognizing my Seagate more 1 TB external hard drive. It worked fine for months and just stopped to acknowledge, also my Adobe Reader XI stop working. I get "internal error" when I try to use Adobe PDF. Moreover, ARO 2012 program will not finish analyzing the registry database. I uninstalled and reinstalled this program muliple times. Y at - he was a stooge computer can solve the problem by myself? Please help me. I will send $ 1 million to anyone who can tell how to solve this problem. Michael Story

  Just moved my hard drives and data to new Windows 8 System. They had been in an XP system - none were never drives on the system. I put a solid state in machine it's like my C drive, and I had a smaller State such in my XP machine.

  External hard drive has worked until I tried a few copies of largest I had crashed and has been implemented of the BU as it should.

  After about 5 minutes on a consistent basis, the green light on the drive is out and it is no longer recognized.

  So I have the drive click right and clicked on properties and tools and selected the option to check the disc - not optimize it.

  Soon, he came back and said everything is fine, but you can scan if you wish.

  I scanned and the scan found bad things and seems to have stopped

  There is no option to correct but he told me to fix.

  I closed the message thought I would find a way to fix it after that I erased the message when a repair analyze and fix the Panel came and I clicked it to move forward.

  After minutes the Green drive light is out, but the thing seemed to work, but it took forever.

  I stopped, powered external drive on and outside, disabled protection cirus and restarted the tools again and this time it took me right to repair. After minutes the drive light exploded again but this time I let him keep Chuck.  I come back about a half hour later and he was properly executed and repair the disc and the drive light was again.

  I have not ran the copies still no problemo!

  Thanks to all the people who gave me good ideas

• Moving files from lightroom on external hard drive

  I read a few post on this topic, but I have not found the answers I'm looking for.

  I want to take all the pictures on my computer and put them on an external hard drive.  If I'm in lightroom and connect my external hard drive, if I just move all files to a disc external hard takes them out of my computer?

  In addition, I want to do is make a folder for each calendar year and the changes made to the photos.  So, if I save my project and move it over the pictures, this means that any changes I made on these photos will stay with these photos?

  To have all my pictures on the computer, if I wanted to reopen a file from my external hard drive through lightroom, they automatically opens with all the changes always made for them?

  Point 1: Yes, Lightroom will move from your computer to the outside. However, I would not recommend doing so, I copy the files from the computer to the external help for your operating system and when you checked the copy is ok and you've "updated the location of the folder" in Lightroom and then you can delete the folders on your computer.

  Point 2: You can do manually in Lightroom using the sort options to reach the older that you want or craete a new catalog and import your current and the importing stage move files to folders by date order.

  Point 3: Yes, it will be, but you won't be able to 'work' the files that are on the drive offline, unless you have generated clever insights.
