External Toshiba 320 GB of HARD drive cannot be recognized on Powerbook G4

OK, if I get a new external hard drive and it will not pop up on my desk. It is a portable external hard drive (320GB) of Toshiba USB 2.0.
It has a blue led that lights up when I plug it into my powerbook G4, but other than that, I can't find any recognition of it on my computer.

The other day before this one, I bought another brand, and it was the same result.

Any ideas?
Where can I check the settings of 'visibility' (right term?)?

Also of note: I have a printer that plugs into USB and it works very well. Also I have an iPhone that works very well with the computer and another (independently operated) external drive that works.

Is it possible that I would need to remove the software for the other drive? Doesn't seem likely, but I'm at a loss.

Thanks for reading and for any help!

I don't use no matter what mac operating system, so I can't tell you if there is an option that makes the HARD visible disc.

But you do not have any disk utility?
Or does first be formatted to HFS file system?

And what software use to the other drive?

Sorry, but these are only rough thoughts, as I'm really not familiar with these operating systems.

  • New NB550D clean system and TOSHIBA recovery on the HARD drive.

    Hello

    I was wondering, if I install a new clean Win 7 on my NB550D I keep TOSHIBA recovery on the HARD drive and when I need to use it.

    If so, how can I do?

    > I was wondering, if I install a new clean Win 7 on my NB550D I keep TOSHIBA recovery on the HARD drive and when I need to use it.
    You can keep it, but after installation of clean operating system, you will not be able to start the installation of recovery more. Now, when you press F8, you repair my computer option. After the installation of clean operating system this option will disappear.

    What you need to do is to create DVDs of recovery or recovery USB key before you install own OS. Be careful about this.

  • Newly installed hard drive, cannot get the reinstallation of Windows 7 to the end

    Hi all. My factory-issued Seagate 1 TB hard drive of origin provided with my PC Pavilion Elite HPE-240f failed a few months ago and I finally had time to fixation (rock a Pavilion dm4 laptop in the meantime, I'm not in a huge rush). I replaced it tonight with a Western Digital Blue 1 TB hard drive, which I know is Advanced Format.

    I love HP platform minor changes in the the Windows 7 OS, I went ahead and tried to reinstall the OS of my recovery disks that I made when I got this PC. I checked the BIOS settings and the new hard drive WD IS recognized, the size is correct, etc. It has been configured in RAID with the SATA controller, and I tried to put out when the installation of the operating system initially lacked AHCI. It seems to be stuck in some kind of loop in the final configuration step, and I get out of the dialog box "Installation of Windows set up Windows to run on a hardware on this computer" could not. Hit Okay sends in reboot and after that I get a "Windows is unable to complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation"notice.

    It makes me batty, and I really want my back office. This is a great machine, and as much as I love my laptop, it can't handle heavy programs like Photoshop or my multitasking fool. I managed to get the OS installed by forcing the system to bypass its system predefined through registry commands, but the important things were wrong, as Windows Update does not work, so I'll try to reset all with only recovery disks. So far, no go. I am extremely tired, frustrated, and it's late, so apologies for what I've left out or of typos. Any help on how to solve this problem is GREATLY appreciated.

    Thank you very much for your response, @MechPilot. I actually found what I thought, it's perhaps the question a day or two before your answer: my computer was manufactured and purchased just before October 2010, which has been cut for restoration placed disks shaped for the drives non - Advanced Format. All the following which has been reformatted accordingly. I contacted HP and bought the replacement of the recovery discs (made in 2012), that I received yesterday. After several hours of nerves and finger-crossing, it worked like a charm. The operating system has successfully recovered, and I couldn't be happier!

    I answer computer said of office right now, in fact! Thanks again.

  • Satellite A200 PSAF6A - HARD drive is not recognized. No recovery of product

    The drive HARD in my Toshiba Satellite A200 PSAF6A-0US01N is not recognized in the machine or any other computer, so I can't run any windows/toshiba repair.

    I know that readers have a factory reset hidden on the disc and press 0 to the power upward, but with the unreadable disk, how can I repair my installation of Windows Vista?

    Hello

    If the HARD drive is not recognized by the BIOS or other laptops, then I would say that your HARD drive is defective.
    In this case, you need to replace the HARD drive.
    In this case, you will not be able to start the recovery procedure from the HARD drive because it works badly as he has already said

    Are you from the Australia? If you need a recovery disk, I recommend contacting the local Toshiba ASP to get this drive

  • Hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS - Equium A60

    Hi hope someone can help. I have a Toshiba Equium EA60-173 and the hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS. When I remove the hard drive and put it in another laptop it is detected fine. I also tried another hard drive in the Toshiba and that does not work either. So I suspect the IDE controller has disappeared, but can I do to confirm this? I wish there was an option in the BIOS to force detection. I updated the BIOS but still the same.

    This laptop is only just out of warranty, so if it is the controller would I need to replace the motherboard? Are there other options at my disposal?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Neil,

    Unless there is some physical\problem with the cable/connector hard drive, then it is most likely that you will have a new mainboard for your laptop. I suggest you to contact an authorized service partner and ask them to check your laptop and give you an estimate of the cost of the repair. Then you can try to shop for less expensive alternatives.

    Kind regards

  • Why my external hard drive cannot be mounted or viewd by a Macbook

    Hello

    I can't see my HD exertenal from the finder.

    I do not have G-Tech HD and I use with TimeMachine. This HD has two partitions.

    The first is used for the backup with Time Machine, a macbook air, and the second partition is used to back up a macbook pro with Time Machine.

    It worked fine until I look in the external hard drive (partition macbook). Now, it is not possible to mount the external hard drive. From the Finder, I see no partition eighter the first or the second.

    I plugged it in an another mAcbook air and no way to see inside the external hard drive.

    Howerver, I pluggged in a 14.04 ubuntu and I was able to navigate through the external hard drive

    Why can I see the contents of the external HD with a ubuntu n not with a Macbook?

    And how can I solve this problem?

    See you soon

    El Capitan has permissions configuration much tighter than earlier versions of Mac OS X and it can become a problem to open files from a different computer. You need to tell us what OS you are running on all computers.

    I suspect that Ubuntu is having no problem because it does not under the same restraint of permissions.

    It worked fine until I look in the external hard drive (partition macbook).

    What you have done here, caused the change of permissions.

    Don't forget that connect a player directly on a computer and use it plugged into an airport will have different permissions issues.

    I don't have much in the way of a solution. Apple has changed repair them permissions on El Capitan.

    You have a Mac running an earlier version of Mac OS X?

    If your two partitions are used just to make the Time Machine backups...

  • Moved files on external hard drive cannot find my changes in lightroom

    I use Lightroom 4 on a Mac.
    I moved recently all my photos on an external hard drive, and nothing I've read yet could help move my images edited in Lightroom.

    In lightroom, beside the heading folder I clicked on the + and added my external drive - it shows it's Green and alive.

    All the pictures I had initially recorded on my Mac hard drive are now showing on external drive - good.

    In lightroom, the subfolders in my Mac hard drive are now show with question marks that files are missing - who they are, because they are now on my external hard drive.

    What is my problem, all the editing I did on these photos in lightroom before is now gone. How do the editing work I had done on these photos to appear on the external hard disk images? If I look at my pictures on the hard drive of the Mac, they show they have faded and disappeared, but it shows all my changes again on the photos. External hard disk, it shows the original version of the image with no changes made.

    Note: I backed up my computer before moved me all my photos, so if I need to put them on hard drive on my mac, I am able to do.

    Update

    I have solved my problem. If someone comes across the question I was trying hard, I suggest to try move the files from WITHIN lightroom.

    Initially, I had used my OS to move my files to image on an external hard drive, by simply drag and drop. Lightroom was not able to keep the editing I did on these pictures after that that they were moved. I restored a backup on my Mac and place the files in their original location. Then within the lightroom program, I was able to move the folders from photo (with modifications) on my external hard drive.

  • Installation of Windows XP on TecraS3 with a 320 GB SATA hard drive

    Hallo,
    during the installation of Windows XP on a Tecra S3-SATA hard drive is not discovered.

    Details:
    Laptop: Toshiba Tecra S3, model PTS30E
    Hard drive: Toshiba MK3252GSX 320 S - ATA
    Driver used: raid-drv - 20071023162302.zip (from Toshiba)
    Toshiba-support document: TSB001272

    For the installation of Windows I used correspondent support-Toshiba-document 'TSB001272' the external driver for SATA. The disk with the driver is used for installation, but the hard drive is still unknown.

    PS: The Linux Suse 10.2 installation runs without problem.

    Question: Who knows the good driver for Windows XP? Thank you.

    Manfred Alpers

    > For the Windows installation I used correspondent support-Toshiba-document 'TSB001272' the external driver for SATA. The disk with the driver is used for installation, but the hard drive is still unknown.

    I think you mean this Toshiba document:

    http://209.167.114.38/support/TechSupport/TSBs/all/-TSB001272.htm

    Hey buddy the RAID driver can be found on the Toshiba driver page.
    Use this driver as part of the tool called nLite. You can create a new XP CD and could include the RAID driver using this free tool.

    I did this procedure several times and it still worked!

  • How to make Toshiba USB 250 GB HARD drive read-only?

    Hello

    I just plug a Toshiba USB 250g external hard drive to replace all the sticks of memory, I've been using.

    I'll use this external hard drive to copy files to other computers and I would like to know how to make the drive read-only.

    Moreover, all the other tips to protect the disc would be extremely welcome.

    Thank you very much

    I don't know what HARD drive you have exactly, but I know that Toshiba offers a software protection with external hard drives.
    Did you check manuals? Is something like that provided with your HARD drive?

    Maybe you need to use some third party software part for the protection of files on the HARD drive. Google all over the place.

  • Satellite C660D - issues with SATA Toshiba MK5065GSX 500 GB HARD drive

    Hello

    I have problems with a Toshiba MK5065GSX SATA 500 GB from a Satellite C660D client.

    Cannot start the machine: was doing a start-up and factory default restore comes up with error, so does not actually load Windows. Therefore impossible to use connected diags. This machine does not appear to be any disk diagnostic on boot options

    Where are the diagnostic utilities to download in order to test the hard drive?

    Thanx

    Hello

    AFAIK, you can't simply make a copy of the recovery on the new HARD disk image and start the recovery image installation. In General, for the recovery image installation, you have bootable recovery media. She may be resumed DVD or USB recovery media.

    On older machines, recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive. It could be that, in your case, recovery image is recorded on the hidden partition. This title has this restore partition?

    If there is possibility to make the copy of the recovery image, you can try is to check if the method described on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD4103KB0000R01.htm will work for you.

    By the way: your client was forced to create a recovery media and create backup recovery image. It is clearly described in manuals s therefore, in General, it is not your problem if you can't access the recovery image.
    In the worst case, you can explain to the client that there is no possibility for you to make the original recovery image installation and you can order the new disc of recovery for him.
    It can be done on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
