• 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

  Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = "6.1.7600.16385".

  Total physical memory 4.00 GB

  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.

• CD/DVD RW drive bed but will not write...

  I use Windows XP and use the disk drive: Optiarc DVD RW AD - 7530A. Under "Properties" is the State of the device "working properly" and he plays both CDs and DVDs. However, it will not write. I tried several software programs, including windows Media Player. When I right click on the driver, there is a recording tab.

  The drive appears to work at first, but it can progress remains at 0% and the drive will continue as he does something, but it's not. If I try to cancel the burning using buttons in the software, nothing will happen. It will freeze my computer. The Task Manager will not work, and my only option is to keep the off button on the laptop until it dies. When I turn it back on, a small window pops up saying files are waiting to be transferred to disk, click on the bubble to continue (or something like that). If I click on it, then I see the blue screen of death and the computer shuts down.
  He also seems to have done something for my Explorer, it freezes too (I'm on Safari now)

• My DVDRW DRIVE will not write to disk

  My DVD - RW drive will not write to disk, it is only recognized on my computer as a DVD ROM and CD - ROM only. I looked in Device Manager and there is no question mark by it and he says it's working properly, I had it works normally about 2 weeks ago, can you help me? L.M.Baggley

  If it worked about two weeks ago, you could try a restore point to return the parameters of your system they had previously, by using the system restore. It is in the startmenu, all programs, system, SYSTEM RESTORE tools. Choose a point of older and not the most recent. Alternatively, right - click the icon for your drive and make sure that the recording tab is there, and that registration is enabled on the computer. You will also find it better if you record at a slower speed and not the faster if you want to avoid reading errors. "THE BEST THING TO DO IN THIS WORLD IS A WRONG ANSWER! "I"DON'T"WINDOWS...". »

• Photos of my drive external hard of my XP will not download on Windows 7

  I'm having a problem with my Windows 7 too. TOO MUCH SECURITY!  I tried all day to get the pictures on my external hard drive in our new computer, but he rejects every time. Its a hard drive universal that should work with any computer!

  My husband & I both use the same name of the administrator to avoid problems. HA! I went through security as I was told that repair permissions. It makes no difference. We have the characteristics of supported file on the computer that must be compatible with our photos on the external hard drive.
  So really I have no idea why the pictures won't load on the computer.

• 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.

  7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate (Norton) until you get a prompt "no update more".

  8. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 & run the difficulty.

  9. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run that set it by DEFAULT and modes and AGGRESSIVE. [1]

• Vista Home Premium will not write to CD - RW; will write to the CD - R and DVD

  I installed all the updates window vista Home premium. I have a DVD/R/W/drive. Vista will write a CD - R disc and the DVD disc. Vista will open the media on a CD - R, DVD, and CD - RW, which is what I use.  Vista will not write on a CD - RW disc, sending the files on the drive, pop - up Vista says "insert writable disc in the drive", or he'll want to format the drive, formatting always fails; I removed the filter upper and lower; I used MR. FixIt, and she came back with "media in the CD/DVD drive is not writable '; the disks are writable, but they are not recognized by Vista in writing. Here are the nine on box Maxell CD - RW discs. I have no problem with vista, write files to a CD - R or a DVD to burn. Windows Media Player will burn music to these CD - RW discs. How can I get Vista to recognize a CD - RW as a recordable disc?

• 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...

  My HP Presario f 700 laptop does not recognize my CD/DVD drive and will not burn or play CDs or DVD movies.

  I have a lightscribe, CD/DVD player, and I started having problems about a month ago... I tried to burn a lightsribe CD and my computer told me that I didn't have a CD Lightscribe drive (I!)... then when I just tried to burn the music on the CD, he didn't do it either... Finally a week ago, I tried to play a movie on my laptop, and that does not work either.

  When I insert in the film or the cd, the drive lights up and I can hear the work, but it is as if she has no connection with my laptop and my laptop is not picking up the CD/DVD drive try to play a movie or a cd.

  A friend suggested that I go to the HP website and am trying to download a driver, but I didn't know what to do once I got to this website, and I don't know if it will work.

  If you know how to solve this problem, or if you have had a similar problem with your computer, please help, thank you.
