• P30: External hard drive is not detected when you use IEEE 1394 cable

  My P30 not / can not detect my newly acquired Western informed extreme Digitak Drive 320 when I connect via the firewire port. I use a 4-pin cable (which costs a fortune, by the way) who is supposed to be a way to connect this drive to a 6-pin pc.

  My ieee 1394 driver seems to be called 'VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 host controller".

  Can someone tell me what to do? I really need to connect the FireWire drive because I need the USBs for other devices.

  Thank you!

  Hi, Lars

  It is really strange. I use the external DVD drive (DL) using the same cable. I tested it with several units (old Satellite 1900, Tecra M1 and also new Qosmio G20) and everything works perfectly.

  Check the power supply to the external HARD drive.

• Windows 7 cannot see my external hard drive, even if I don't use it on this computer!

  I have 2 external hard drives, both worked well on Windows 7. Now, on the same computer, no change, they stopped from within the computer. Drivers fine and visible in the devices. all ideas

  Hello Gus,

  Windows 7, having trouble finding external drives is not uncommon. I use Aomei Partition Wizard to get Windows to recognize the drive; Download here: http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html?tag=mncol;1 .

  Once installed simply click on the external drive, and then select Properties. Who should get the drive recognized by Windows. See if that solves the problem for you.

  Kind regards

• I broke my external hard drive and now it locked and disassembled?

  I just have a lot of questions here. After trying many things I found in a deeper hole.

  I use an external hard drive, it's a Seagate Backup Plus 1 TB external hard drive. It is formatted and partitioned, I did using the steps for me the Web of Seagate site, when I got it.

  I entered the hole, I'm right now because I had backup problems near the top of my photos of Lyve on my external drive. I think the reason why they would not return, it was because my drive was in offline mode in the "Status" section in Lyve, despite the fact that disk utility says the status of the disk is online. I researched and found out that this can happen if a.) the storage is full or b.) the wifi connection is bad or a connection is not available. When I opened my Seagate dashboard, I discovered that my drive was full, so I thought that was the reason. This made no sense to me because there was no way that I had somehow already packed 1 TB, I had saved only once and it is brand new. However, I deleted a ton of pictures I put in 'Lyve Import' and then allowed the trash. (I must have accidentally imported them several times, so the photos doubled several times or something because altogether they are 50 GB, 1 TB not...) That seemed to be the source because then my drive had 938 GB free!... But my drive was always in offline mode.

  So I refreshed, rebooted, unplugged and replugged, returned Wi - Fi works for Seagate Lyve and my computer. But my drive was still offline even though disk utility always says that it is online.

  Now, I'm still trying to find out why, it's that my drive has been appearing offline in Lyve when I used different Wi - Fi connections in different places and they all worked well, and I have lots of storage. One of the reasons is that the partition on my drive has still pictures of Lyve copied import, I had deleted, because there is almost no storage on this score somehow, I suspect. As you can see in the second photo, the score says he has only 16 MB of available space, and I somehow used GB 999. If it is the same as before, I don't know how to access this partition, and then delete them. It is a copy of all of these photos of Lyve Import? However...

  NOW, currently the main problem that prevents me from continuing to investigate on the previous question is: I had encrypted my external hard drive some time ago. After having annoyed having to enter a password long so many times because of the reopening and that to solve the problem 'offline', I've deciphered this hard drive clicking in the Finder by clicking Decrypt. I entered the password to do this, and have decrypted AFAIK because the password has been accepted. But now my drive says that it is locked and disassembled? What? It is shaded in the left sidebar of disk utility. It does not appear as a device plugged into the Finder. It's as if he is not yet here, but I can still access Lyve. From what I understand, my disc encryption would protect its ' content with a password. Decryption, it would mean that I wouldn't have to type a password to access? Seriously worried that I screwed to the top of something because I did not understand what the consequences would be here. In addition, why my player not appear when the score indicates the status of the disk is online?

  I have included pictures of both the disk and partition information, and what they look like now in disk utility. Previously, from what I remember, in the information section of my car he had about 948 GB available, was mounted and he said it was a logical Partition encrypted, if it is of no use. It does not display this information now because it is locked, correct? I did not delete anything?

  As you can tell, I didn't know what I was doing the same in the first place - and now, I'm stumped. Please bear with me on this because all of this formatting and partitioning, and editing and similar is confusing me, only knowledge I had performed since the steps provided in the forums or on Seagate and Lyve directions on their website. I really don't understand what that means anyway - I wasn't trying to screw around things just... Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

  

  

  

  ^ Note that this is what my Finder looks like now despite the fact that my external hard drive is connected. He always used to display the full drive Center 'FAVORITES' and 'TAGS' as a device that is currently connected, with the option to display its "table of contents or eject it.

  Update - I managed to solve this problem using this forum:

  How decrypt external hard drive, so it can be re-partitioned

• I can't get my new WD external hard drive to work with Time Machine.

  My Seagate 1 TB external hard drive, connected to my Airport Extreme, use the USB port, was completed (it stores up to 3 1 iMac and MBP), so I bought a Western Digital 2 TB hard drive to replace it. I formatted correctly, connected to my MBP, then connected to the Airport Extreme. When I opened the time Machine, it didn't appear. By selecting "Set up the new TimeCapsule" open Airport utility. By clicking on the router button gave me change. By clicking on the "Record" button showed my new hard drive. The "setup" button is grayed out, unless I unchecked and double-checked all of the options. He warned me that I would be offline for a while, but it did nothing; My wife MBP and MBP my son not a never lose their connection to the internet, and I lose mine, either.

  My Mac guy, who never met a problem he couldn't fix it, is puzzled. So I am. We tried all the usual ideas, restart my MBP, restart the Airport Extreme, reformat the external hard drive, with different numbers of partitions (and Yes, I chose the GUID), but we can not simply Time Machine to connect with the hard drive. It is a Western Digital My Passport Ultra. This external hard drive is not compatible with Time Machine?

  What version is your AE? Backup is supported only on the sector of Tower model.

  You are self feeding Ultra Passport? It really must be external powered... or plugged into a powered hub.

  My passport readers have been consistent in the past... but sometimes strange things... That is, they can change the USB chip without warning, resulting in questions. The USB hub can help.

  There is also something... Plug the USB key into one of your computers and start backup TM on this... proceed very long... but we need to start... Cancel backup... and then plug it into AE and see what happens.

• How can I save my backup external hard drive?

  I have a La Cie 4 to external hard drive to back up my MacBook Pro. How do I backup my external hard drive (just in case ceases to work properly or at all)?

• External hard drive problems Y560p

  I have an Ideapad Y560p and my laptop does not seem to read large usb 2.5 ", external hard drives. I am trying to use a 500 GB and the disk turns but does not entirely and open in Windows. The external hard drive works on another laptop.
  Two computers use Windows 7.

  (Sometimes), I can access my 320 ext hdd, but this player also has problems. I also have a "TTO Tray" error that appears often, and these problems may be related.

  Any ideas on how I can solve these problems?

  Hi Zehn,

  Yes, I tried a cable in there, but the power supply doesn't seem to be the issue.

  I COULD have solved the problem. I found the disc in my device manager and it has been disabled. I tried to activate the device, but I got an error code 22, and I needed to remove the device. When I plugged it in the drivers have been reinstalled, and it seems to be good for now.

  Thanks for the suggestion!

• The West WDH1CS10000 Digital My Book Home Edition 1 TB External Hard Drive

  After contacting a trojan virus, which I was able to get rid due to malware, my book was no longer recognized by my pc. It appears on the workstation

  as well as drive C, drive D, DVD RW drive e. Image Factory. My book came as F: drive but it does not open when I click on it. I disconnected and hung

  Once again, but with the same results.  It continues to blink and the Properties tab says it works correctly. Is it possible to reset it. I am a senior and can

  do a few things on the computer please keep things simple. LOL thank you for your time.

  Hi JackieFerrs

  It is possible that the virus has every firmware corrupted on that either its MBR (Master Boot Record). Unfortunately, the other means that your data is probably lost. But... before you'll start to panic please see below what you can do.

  Please visit this link: 'Western Digital My Book Home Edition 1TB_downloads' and...

  1. use the backup utility to backup your data if you have not done.

  2 use the software update on hard drive firmware update.

  3. use the software (all) link to download software for your Windows PC.

  4. download and install Drive Manager (if you wish).

  5. If still no luck on the connection that enables the link diagnostic tool to scan your drive for some questions.

  I hope this helps.

  All the best.

• What to do after I wipe an external hard drive?

  I just used KillDisk to erase a 1 TB external hard drive. I still want to use this hard drive but my computer does not recognize it. I read that I might have to reformat or something? Also read something about Fdisk. Don't know if this is the case for me, no one knows anything about what I should do next? And how to do it? Thank you.

  This is the site with instructions. Unfortunately, I'm not very aware when it comes to technology. Help, please!

  Press start, search diskmgmt.msc, open that appears in the search. (should be "diskmgmt")

  Find your external drive, which, on the lower part of the screen, should have a giant bar with black on top of it. If it is blue, read the paragraph after it and ignore the following sentence. Right click after making sure is your external drive (you can tell by looking at how big it is), and then select new simple volume.

  If the bar is blue, and you are sure it is your external drive, it has already been formatted. In this case, right click, select change drive letter and paths, and if there is no letter listed, click Add, choose a letter and press Ok. It should be shown in my computer.

  If it's black, continue reading below.

  Press next, and then it will ask you what size you want the partition, and it should already have filled the maximum space, you can do. Press next. You can then select a drive letter, that will most likely be E, of course you can change it to any desired letter.

  In the next screen, it should have already chosen "format this volume with the following settings. Make sure he put the NTFS file system, allocation unit size must be default which is very good, and you can choose a name for the drive.

  Quick format is selected automatically and I would say leaving just checked, as a normal on a 1 format to player would take a few hours.

  Pressing should then start formatting. On this bar where you initially right click to start this, admittedly, formatting. When he's ready, he'll say: formatting (0%) and then it should finish quickly, because you have chosen to do a quick format.

  After that, the drive appears in my computer and can be used.

• Read only folders and files on external hard drive

  Windows 7 keeps setting the already existing folders and files on my external hard drive for read only. I used the Properties dialog box to remove read-only from the folder and all subfolders and files. This seems to run correctly, but of course, this isn't.

  It is a serious aggravation and wonder if there is a fix that I have not been able to find. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  I understand that after saving a file with a different name, her attribute "removes the read-only" you have no problem with again to change. If the problem is related only to files that have been previously registered with Windows XP.

  You can try this: move one of the old files on your desktop > make sure that the read-only attribute is not checked > bring it back to your external drive > check is possible to edit now. If it will work, you can just do this for all your files, simply by copying both.

  ...

  I also wonder what users are listed under security settings: right click on the file > properties > Security tab. It should be rated "everyone" in its own right.

• Sudden appearance of the names of long and digital folder on external hard drives

  I have a couple of external hard drives - from different manufacturers - that I use for storage of music and video files and backups. For some reason, the two generated spontaneously records with alphanumeric long file names - for example H:\6f4f50122a8503a6e12ba6813091dede.

  They have few locks on them and thus defy the deletion.

  In fact, I went to the length of formatting of disks. He gets rid of these files, but they come back soon. Does anyone know the purpose of these files?

  I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit flavor.

  No they are not needed, start in safe mode to delete
