    Hello

    I recommend you check the external HARD disk size in disk management.
    Please enter this option right click 'My computer' icon and select 'manage '. Computer Management opens and there you can choose disk management.

    The other possibility is that the drive was badly formatted. I also recommend formatting again. Check if it is possible to create a partition 2 with about 125 GB of space

    Hello

    Thanks for the update.

    I wish to inform you that it is possible to merge two partitions into one, if both are on the same hard drive.

    You will need to remove one of the partitions and extend the other to include one deleted.

  • All external hard drives showing that raw

    Hi all

    Hope you can help. For the last two days none of my 3 external drives have been showing under 'my computer '. They work fine when I attach them to another machine. When I look at my "Device Manager" readers are here and in "computer management" records show as "simple, basic, RAW, healthy (primary partition) but they have"drive letter"like I said they work perfectly when I attach them to other machines."

    Thank you

    If you changed the partition, Windows Vista has been known to reassign letters local drive incorrectly.  Looking through several docs, let's say if plugged in, unplug it and plug it back to Windows to recognize it.

    It is a doc from Windows 7, but it relates as well to Windows Vista

  • 3 recycle Bin folders on external HARD drive

    Why doesn't the $RECYCLE. BIN on my external HARD drive show different files when I run Windows 8 and Windows 7?
    I guess that both present the same content, but they do not.

    It is a normal behavior. It is doubtful, you will get an answer as to why.
    To answer your question, no, if you disable the Recycle Bin, the files will be deleted immediately on this drive.

  • I just plugged my camera and uploaded new photos for my Creative Memories Photo Manager. Now when I go to the Safely Remove Hardware my camera does not show... only my external hard drive.

    I have a new computer.  We have been plug an external hard drive to move my photos in the new computer.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thank you

    Creative Memories Photo Manager probably ejected your camera after you import the images. Check the default settings and change them if you prefer something different.

    If your camera is not displayed as ejection, it is safe to remove it. Damage to the file system wouldn't be possible, but not certain, if he had written active file or buffer not released when the device has been deleted.

  • Why LR4 shows me two folders to an external hard drive?

    Hello.

    So I don't know that I can explain so I tied this screenshot. LR4 shows two external hard drives 'ESF-PHOTO' when it's really only. It has the same folder on the two 20120523_straight_down called on each, but in each case there are 4 images even though it says 3. Two of these images are reversed, and I think that's why it says 3. I tried the update folder location. I tried to synchronize the folder. I tried to remove the top folder, called 20120523_straight_down, which then gets rid of the ESF-top PHOTO. After that I try to add the image missing fourth to the different 20120523_straight_down folder and it adds just this second ESF-mystery PHOTO by car.

    two folders one drive.png

    All this happened after I moved the catalog and images on this external hard drive and run Carbon Copy Cloner to support up to a second disc. Once this is done, I restarted LR4 and began working on an image in PS6. When I closed this image and returned to find the Edit version in LR4 I couldn't find it. Once I found it after searching all pictures with its file name that I saw that there were two ESF-PHOTO files.

    When I have tried all the above troubleshooting I unplugged the backup drive.

    It is a difficult question. Any one guide me through on this one can.

    See you soon,.

  • How to install games on external hard drive applications

    Hello people,

    I have my app game downloaded from the app store called rack 2 & I transferred to my USB key. Noting that the loading of the game takes too long, I decided to transfer it to my external hard drive. After the transfer of the application of game on the external hard drive, it does not start. So, I decided to reinstall the game by downloading it again from the store, but my disk space.

    So, I have in fact TWO problems:

    (1) how can I reinstall the application to an external hard drive? and...

    (2) how to free disk space on my hard drive internal by disabling certain files on "people"?

    If someone could shed some light on me here, it would be highly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    You should never get too low on your space of hard drive as the OS needs a minimum 10-15 GB of free space at any time to work properly. So, if you do any movie or image/photo, rendering and editing editing works best if you have at least as much vacuum you have temporary files in your project. I can easily raise 100 GB or more temp. files for a one hour film HD, so I keep a lot of empty hard disk space.

    In order to get a few things on your hard drive, the usual space hoggers are therefore, movies, photos, etc. You can move all those who in their library on an external hard drive, and after having checked they are working, delete them from your hard drive.

    Generally, the application work better if they are installed on your internal hard drive; I'm not a gamer, so I'm not familiar with the specifics of the game you're talking about. Search on Google, I couldn't find any reference to the Macs on their website - here, it shows the platforms it is compatible with:
