• External hard drive not detected with the error: "You must format the disk in the J: drive until you can use it."

  Hello

  I have an external hard drive to work perfectly. I'm back from vacation, and it does not appear under "My Computer". It appears under "Devices and printers", however. This is a link to a screencap of Device Manager: http://i.gyazo.com/9e91e1d71ed32c55dba0419e79b499d5.png

  The device in question is that of J:, and it says here that he has 100% free space, that worries me, because he had only 50 GB of free space when I used the latter. After that I open the disk management, I get a pop up message saying: "You must format the disk in the J: drive until you can use it."

  How can I get my hard drive appears again?

  Thank you

• 3 50 PX1394U external hard drive not recognized

  I recently bought the external hard drive, Toshiba PX1394U 3 50. I followed the instructions for the installation and everything went as planned either he found material etc. and returned with the message of successful installation.

  However, when I go in my computer that there should be an icon for the external hard drive and it does not exist.

  I saw the thread, recommending using REGEN, but this has no effect on the problem - the icon still does not appear in my computer.

  I use a laptop computer from a different manufacture running Windows XP and all updates are loaded.

  I also had the same problem when loading on my desk.

  Any ideas?

  If you get the message installation was successful, you should find the HARD disk in disk management.
  Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management > disk management

  Maybe you first create a partition or format, but normally you will see players all recognized.

  I bought a Toshiba external hard 400GO USB Drive of DABS it delivered without a CD Rom. I plugged the USB cable into the computer, but it did not detect the drive, even after re - starts or try other USB slots. Not shown in Device Manager. I probably need this CD to complete the installation Yes? Download the installer from here?
  Any info/advice gratefully received.
  see you soon

  Hello

  I don't know if this external HARD drive needs an additional but installation CD everything must be shipped with the HARD m disk box!
  To my knowledge this HARD drive needs an external power supply. The cable must be delivered also with this HARD drive.

  So take your manual HDD and check shipped all parts! If something is missing you dealer of HARD drive!

  PS; the CD cannot be downloaded on the net!

• External hard drive not detected

  I have an external hard drive of 4 Marine to... .and a Macbook pro with the latest El Capitan... When I connect the external hard drive for Mac pro, an external hard drive can not detect, but there is a light flashing on the external hard drive. It worked well until last night after I used iTunes and went to another Mac. I still eject properly.

  Any ideas on how to solve this problem

  Try using disk utility to repair the disk. If the drive does not appear in the disk utility list, then he dies. Contact the manufacturer or supplier.

  Shut down the computer, disconnect the drive. Wait five minutes and then reboot and reconnect the drive.
