• After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer

  After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

  [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) viaControl Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of NIS 2011 (using your product ID, if need be) & reboot. CF. http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

  NOTE: Do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

• Can not backup on external hard drive - "snapshot could not be created...» »

  Cannot back up the external hard drive "snapshot could not be created, please check the VSS application log and the PSP" "details - the shadow copy provider had an error" error code «ox81000019» I want to buy a new laptop, but how can I transfer all of the existing computer if I can't do a backup?

  As you go only to transfer data from one to the other files, here's a good option...

  Remove the old hard drive and connect it on the new computer using a USB to SATA connector like this...

  http://www.TigerDirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3276554&CATID=11527

  It is a very useful device to have some kicking around when you need to get data on a drive that does more boot.

  You must get permission to access folders on the old disk to the new computer and this is how you do it.

  Download the zip on the site below...

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/add-take-ownership-to-Explorer-right-click-menu-in-Vista/

  .. and it is there that find the link to the zip on the site...

  

  When you run the zip file, it places a new item in the right click menu called 'Take Ownership'

  To use it, you highlight the file or the folder on which you want the property, right click and select take ownership.

  Then a window will appear and many data authorizations through pretty quickly. When permissions have been granted, the window will close and you will be able to easily access data in the file or the first selected folder...

• Windows 7 detect my external hard drive, but does not allow me to access it, or see it

  I have a Toshiba 1 TB external hard drive (I threw the box so I don't know what are the specs, but the things written on the back of the room are: ITE HDD E145163 D33033 KCC-REM-DNT-Canv63 N723 Z218 v63600-C 1 TB DC + 5V 1 0 04/12). I remember he said it was compatible on Windows 7, but this doesn't seem to be the case at the moment.

  I plugged my hd; Windows knows it is there and installed the software for it. But I can't save anything in it or access to the workstation. I looked for solutions to this, but nothing has worked. I tried to change the name of the driver [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-add-or-remove-a-drive-letter] by but apparently I can't because my hard drive is a primary partition. How can I use my hard drive with Windows 7 on my HP 2009f computer? : c.

  [Btw, I properly formatted the hard drive on my Macbook Pro]

  Formatting a Mac o/s will be not visible/usable under a win operating system, you would need to delate all partitions, if it is visible and the format in victory

  You cannot change the drive letter of the system drive

• Toshiba 500 GB external HARD drive is no longer detected - after only 1 hour

  Hey,.

  I finally got my Toshiba 500 GB external hard drive delivered today. I had no problem setting up and to turn my laptop on, it immediately recognized and I started to transfer things for her.

  However, I accidentally stood on the USB cable to the HARD drive and disconnected. I plugged it in, but my computer did not recognize.

  Nothing I've tried has worked, always, the laptop does not recognize the hard drive.

  Please help, I've only had the one hour thing, and it already does not work! I really hope that I have not only lost £56...

  All advice is appreciated, thanks in advance.

  NEW: My father just tried plugging the HARD drive in the desktop PC is on the ground, and as soon as the USB when it is in the port, you stop the computer... causing him to lose a lot of important business email, he wrote. It starts the computer, the USB and you stop again... and this has happened 3 times until he gave up. What on Earth is wrong with this thing? I've never heard of a USB cable, stop a computer permanently, or a hard drive that does more after an hour of use...

  The USB port on the HARD drive may have been damaged and may be causing the PC detect a short power.

  You can try another USB cable? If it is not the cable, then the HARD drive should be sent to a Service Center for repair or replacement.

• Computer laptop 15-f211wm Mod #L0T32UA: USB external HARD disk and laptops not detected but used to be

  My USB ports do not seem to work properly.  I used to be able to plug in my external hard drive and mobile phone to transfer files, but now I can't.  In the DEVICE MANAGER of the laptop, nothing seems to be wrong, no red or yellow warning.  However, the USB ports DO not seem to power the devices, my cell phone goes into charge mode and my HDD Seagate you can feel it vibrate slightly.  There are two USB ports on the left side and one on the right, and all three can not detect devices.  Help, please.

  HERE IS a GUIDEto solving the problems of USB such as described in the post.  See if any of these help.  As you have posted in the notebook section, when you do that a single step to cripple, also remove the battery after the computer shuts down, unplug charger, too.  Then hold the power button for at least 30 seconds before feeding back.

  BTW: have you tried to delete all things under the rubric of the USB in the Device Manager, then reboot to allow Windows to reinstall the USB ports?

• Satellite L300-110 USB external hard drive is no longer detected

  I used my external hard drive via a USB connection for a while normally, I wanted to remove most of his files and only keep my important files. After I restarted my laptop it now is no longer detected

  My external hard drive model is HTS54101 0G9SA00
  Connected via a storage drive HARD Portable USB 2.0 Phillips

  The USB ports are ok, I plugged a USB optical mouse through them and it works, and sometimes the LED on the Phillips turns red with still no detection of my laptop.

  Please advise, I lost my mobile hard disk of 100 gega?

  Sounds like the hard drive has failed.

  The only thing I can think that you can try is to update your Chipset drivers. I don't know if this will fix the problem even if, as you have pointed out that the machine can detect other USB devices already.

• External hard drive gives USB not recognized error

  I have a Western Digital Passport 80 GB HD, which worked fine with XP until today.  I plugged this morning and received an error not recognized USB.  I followed the troubleshooting tips and online help.  It seems that in most cases, if you go to computer management / disk management, you can see the external hard drive.  This is not the case with mine.  I don't see the player.  I downloaded the recovery software, but everything is based on the premise that the drive appears.  Mine does not work.  Can someone help me?

  Thank you.

  Unfortunately, this drive has probably went wrong.  Have you tried another cable to connect your player to your computer?  It may be a long shot, but it is possible that the cable could be damaged.  You may need to take your car to a specialist in recovery to recover the data.  I apologize for the bad news.

  See you soon

• How do I back up to external hard drive that is not an available drive

  I have a Vista and my computer alerts me needs to back up, but fails because the "D" drive is full.  I did a cleanup and still not enough space.   I plugged my external hard drive and tried to return to the top, but this isn't an option to store up to only D.   How can I clean the drive as well as to add an external hard drive as a backup option?

  Hello

  D: is normally your partition recovery and between 5-15GBs in size.

  If the above is correct for your case, read this:

  Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

  1. to reinstall Vista from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

  F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

  You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

  2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

  Also ask them how to make records.

  Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

  There are backups on an external hard drive.

  To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.

  See you soon.

• External Hard Drive - you do not have permission to access this folder.

  I have a question to do this and it is for the most part been answered on another topic, but the mine goes further; I have made a homegroup in Win 7 and added my third computer Vista, and shared my external hard drive to it.  Only problem is, I want both computers to write and be able to connect the player to the vista computer for faster transfers.  I wonder if she shares made it difficult for the computer to vista to read, and you wonder how all the access permissions, it seems that whenever I do a folder on the Win 7 computer, I have to re - authorize the permissions.  Seizing property in 7 will continue this problem if I want to use the hard drive under vista?  In addition, I get not him "you do not have authorization error", and I also get a "access denied." In a first time what was going on only the vista, but now its started happening on the 7.  (I tried sharing and security for everyone).

  I thought about it, I had to create another group by taking the reader to computer vista and adding a group to the location of the vista computer, then in the description of name I had to put the name of the vista user account and allow full control in the same workgroup name settings

• Seagate external HARD drive expansion will not identify Windows 7 x 64. OK in a first time and fine on Vista x 86.

  Recently installed Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 Vista Home Premium x 86. Under Vista, everything was fine. Less than 7, my Seagate expansion (1.5 TB) hard drive initially was recognized (I have iTunes library I can't play to prove :)) after a few days using 7, however, I lost the external HARD drive. I get the error message is "software device driver is not properly installed." In Device Mgr, it says it's an "unknown device" with the yellow! triangle. "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) "appears in the details of the device. No updated drivers are available. Windows updates are up to date, nothing helps. Restart, reinstall, restore driver, deactivation, nothing works. Tried to update my BIOS, but it is already the latest version of Dell. Trying any other Dell Update, what it offers is the Download Manager, but not actual updates I select. I'm not allowed to use this player all of a sudden, after that it worked fine for a few days!

  Specific features of the system are as follows:

  Name of the operating system Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
  Version 6.1.7600 Build 7600
  Another Description of the OS is not available
  Manufacturer of operating system Microsoft Corporation
  System name PHIL-PC
  System manufacturer Dell Inc.

  Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = "6.1.7600.16385".
  Physical memory (RAM) installed 4.00 GB
  Total physical memory 4.00 GB
  2.54 GB available physical memory

  Thanks in advance for any helpful info!

  All this occurred within three days of using Windows 7 x 64, so I don't think there is a previous restore point to go back to. However, I would not I install updates to be rendered unusable and allow my system, and their insecurity. And, as stated in my original post, I have gone through the drivers to uninstall or disable normal, remove, reinstall, etc. etc. without help.

  An update my original post, I finally got the unit of work, although not as fast as it was in Vista x 86. I did back up the device to a laptop from Vista Home Premium I have, let it load the drivers it needs, and then after reconnection to 7, it has been working well, but overall slowly in read/write functions and clicking on a lot more than he did primarily when operating. What I went through get this thing to work, I think that the currently loaded driver is for a 32 bit OS, and there is no update (again) for 64-bit. I leave it alone, because it is functional, and if it is not recognized after the next set of Windows updates, I guess I have to restore to a previous image.

  Dell doesn't seem to have anything for her, and Seagate plans explicitly on their site that they don't provide drivers for this HARD drive while referring to Microsoft or the manufacturer of the equipment for drivers.
