• 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.

  I use a Dell with Windows 7 laptop.

  Thank you very much

  Dougal

  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.

• Windows Vista does not recognize external USB 260 GB HARD drive

  I have a 260 GB Seagate external hard drive, a laptop Toshiba satellite and Windows Vista Basic.

  The same Windows usually choose the hard drive when I plug it, it does not appear in Device Manager and in disk management, the only way I can get it to work is to uninstall all the USB root hub and then restart the computer, and then reinstall the USB root hub and plug my hard drive.

  When windows finally recognizes him, the only way to find the driver must choose c:\ manually and there's the search for the computer.
  Works for the time that I have the computer hard disk, but when I stopped it, next time I use the computer, I'm having exactly the same problem.

  I tried to remove the hard drive safely and then close the computer and by him plugging back in after windows has loaded, I tired it connected from the computer and tried to close the computer with connected.

  None of these work.
  Can someone help me please?

  Strange?  :|
  But what need s say Microsoft Windows so I don't expect 100% without bug OS ;)

  Disconnect the USB HDD and remove all the USB ports and Device Manager USB controllers. After restarting again the OS should reinstall ports. Then you could try to reconnect the HARD drive.

• External USB 3.0 HARD drive does not work on USB 3.0 port

  Hello guys,.

  I have a problem with my external HARD drive and the problem is that it is USB 3.0 feature does not work in my computer.

  The curious thing is that it works very well in the SATA port or a normal USB 2.0 port.

  Y at - it a failure with the HARD drive or is there something wrong with my motherboard (M5A99 fx pro r2.0)?

  Thanks in advance.

  From my point of view of the few is not HARD drive problem because the HARD drive operates in a USB 2.0 port.

  I m wondering if you tried to update the USB 3.0 driver.
  Have you tried this HARD disk in another computer / USB 3.0 ports?
  I think that its worth a check.

  Also, I read on some problems of USB 3.0 controller from different manufacturers.
  Sometimes, it might be possible that some problems of compatibility between different devices may arise.

  Hello everyone,
  I have Toshiba satellite 2430-101. Recently I bought external 40 GB hard drive. When I connected to my toshiba usb hub, it is said that it exceeds the limit of the power, and I need to detach the external hard drive. When I read these last questions, someone suggested to uncheck the power supply to the usb hub options, but he says always the same. They are someone to help me.

  Well, in my opinion, this problem occurs if the USB port can't provide enough power.
  In this case, that the USB hub must be connect to external power.

• Satellite M30X: Problems with external USB 2.0 HARD drive

  Hello
  I have a Toshiba Satellite M30X. I bought recently a 200 GB external hard drive. It has its own power supply. If I connect with USB 2.0 on my laptop, it happens to disconnect and reconnect leads him. Sometimes it works, so I can put data on the disc. Then again, he diconnects and reconnects repeatedly. I've tried a different USB Port, but there is no difference. It's very strange, because I plugged the external hard drive to many other computers (Laptop and Tower) and it STILL works! It is that with my cell phone, it disconnects and reconnects all the time. As I said, not always. Sometimes it works for a half an hour or two and then the action begins again...

  If anyone can help?

  Go to your computer manufacturer's support web site and search for the latest Windows 7 drivers for your specific model number.

  Download the drivers to a folder on your hard drive and install all of them, from the card mother/chipset drivers, LAN, Audio, USB, Graphics, SATA, Webcam, Etc., and so on.

• Wmp54g driver installed, but not seen in the Device Manager

  I'm fighting with reinstalling my drivers of network for more than three days already. (For the history, see http://en.community.dell.com/forums/p/19269864/19470244.aspx#19470244)

  It seems that I finally got the drivers Intel work - however, the WMP54G I had installed before the (I hope) works now driver Intel is not listed in Device Manager. There is no icon in the taskbar wireless connections, either. Another attempt to reinstall the drivers, however, abandoned the process with the comment that drivers would be installed. So, I think the pilot is, but does not at all.

  So, how can I get rid of this driver and try to reinstall another?

  My spec:

  Dell Dimension 9200

  Windows Vista Ultimate x 64 (don't tell me there is no x 64 drivers, please!)

  Seems OK, as I said it.

  Really, it seems that standard LinkSys drivers on the download Web site support not at all x 64 systems. According to the readme files, the driver has not been updated since 2004! This is unacceptable, I think that - as a decent redirect in this forum does not work.

  Anyway, even if some really nice junior contributor on the forums seem to have written some x 64 drivers - himself, I actually did not know how to install without an .exe file. : Pei

  Instead, I did some more googling and learned that the WMP54G v4.1 and v4.0 chips were produced by RaLink and that these guys really provide decent drivers! It is at this point that I remembered my software "Unknown devices" mentioning RaLink, too, RT2500 for v4.0 and RT2561 to v4.1. And well, turns out I have a v4.1 and that their driver is working like a charm. They also provide WLAN monitoring software that allows some additional adjustments. My suggestion: Cisco should outsource their service driver development, too.

  Hi Deborah,

   

  I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing right now. I will help you on that.

  You can also try to use the USB1.0 port. But if you want to use data transfer high, you can try to use the firewire port. Using Firewire USB2 adapter for example.
