FireWire devices are most recognized. External hard drive and the camcorder will not connect.

My computer no longer recognizes the firewire devices that I connect to it.  The Device Manager shows the driver 1394 work very well.  I even deleted and reinstalled Windows XP.  My external hard drive so my camcorder are more recognized when I plug them cold or hot plug.  Two of them have worked very well for more than 4 years and now for some unknown reason, that they stopped just recognized.

How can I get Windows XP to see again them?   I've tried everything.

    Original title: bitllocker Windows 7 issue

    Hello

    I recently updated my motherboard, processor and RAM, but I kept my original 500 GB hard drive, and equipped with a hard drive 2 TB extra, after the upgrade, I downloaded windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. After the upgrade I plugged my external hard drive (which has all my stuff important on it, that is to say the photo, video etc.) to realize that I had he encrypted with bitlocker on my old sysem. It allows Me to enter my password, it looks for a USB flash drive key, I did not. My question is:

    Can I replace my old system with the old motherboard, hard drive and the original RAM to remove the external hard drive for bitlocker?

    I still have the file windows.old on my hard drive, I have to restore it and remove the most recent version of windows 7 off the drive. I do this before I rebuild my old PC? I'm stuck here and would not lose all my photos (the wife would kill me!) I would appreciate your help.

    Can someone please help.

    This external hard drive works on other systems?

    The drive will appear in the top of the disk management window?  If so, look at the column layout, Type, file system and status.  The "file system" must be FAT or NTFS.  From your description, it appears that Windows does not recognize the partition as being to the format in a way that he can use.  You may need to delete the existing partition (attention: this will remove all files that may exist on the disk), and then create a new partition in FAT32 or NTFS format.  Advice to do this, right-click the disk, choose 'Help', then go to:
    -> How To disk management...-> manage the volumes of base-> Delete, Create, or Format.

  • 750-103D want: I want to install a 3rd HARD drive but the system will not start

    Desktop motherboard has 5 heads SATA (of which 2 were used for the first DvD and HARD disk in the original Setup) and the box has 3 bays for HARD drive, but there is no additional power from the PSU cable.

    I installed a new SSD as my main and designated record the 1 TB of HARD drive that came with the desktop as my secondary school and office works just great.

    Now I tried to install an another 1.5 TB HARD drive for storage. I used a SATA power cable Y (1 male to 2 females) to extend the existing cable. However, to my great disappointment, the system is unable to start up. I guess that supply POWER 300 watts current is insufficient to start 3 disks to a single supply with extension cable.

    Issues related to the:

    1] sells HP a 500-watt power supply with power cable for SATA 3 HARD drive?

    [2] is a compatible power supply on the market (ie. not HP) who can stand in 750-103D envy? Brand/model and how much?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Probably, you have misunderstood my response.  Unplug the original HD boot drive.

    Your question is not the power supply lack of insufficient power.  I have observed remains with HP computers with a power supply that would support three HDs off a 300 Watt SATA power cable voltage.

    Perhaps the third HD is formatted incorrectly or is defective.  The other possibility is that your SATA Y cable connection is defective.  You also need good 5V and 12V.  In addition, if you have made any hardware changes to your PC you have not indicated, then it is possible that you may need a bigger power supply.

  • Reference Dell E1505 laptop - not recognizing external hard drive

    I bought a Dell Inspiron E1505 year last with Windows Vista and just bought an external hard drive laptop ( http://www.toshibastorage.com/main.aspx?Path=StorageSolutions/ConsumerStorageProducts/NewUSBPortableExtHardDrive ) from Toshiba a few days ago.

    My Inspiron E1505 does not recognize the drive.  I went to the Device Manager and the Toshiba drive does not appear.  However, the Toshiba portable external hard drive is recognized by my new laptop Dell XPS with Windows Vista.  I called Toshiba tech support and they said there is a problem with the operating system does not recognize the hard drive.  Anyone know how to solve this problem so that my Inspiron E1505 will recognize the Toshiba portable external hard drive?  The drivers are built into the Toshiba external hard drive so tehre are no drivers to download.

It turns out that all my backups say they are corrupt. Do I just terrible luck, or is there a reason why none of my files works when I try to open them on another computer?

  • How can I change lightroom 5 previews smart on the book of mac pro (mbp) when lightroom master image files 5 are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp

    How can I change lightroom 5 previews smart on the book of mac pro (mbp) when lightroom master image files 5 are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp? So far when I try to disconnect the external hard drive the mbp, I get the pop following window: "external hard drive A" disc could not be ejected because it uses 'Lightroom '. Exit this application and try out this disc again. When I do that and restart Lightroom 5, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - screen select catalog appears, but does not list my external hard drive A as a choice.

    I've been reviewing Adobe's Lightroom Help | Smart web page Previews Lightroom 5 and still have not been able to understand what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

    HI Thomas,

    Thank you very much for your suggestions! They finally gave me the direction I go solve the problems I had. Basically, the Mac Book Pro based Lightroom irdata files still had thumbnails. Once I removed the and redirected Lightroom external hard disk, smart previews of the external drive work when the player is well off the MBP. Much obliged.

    I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to backup all the files content and related data of Lightroom that exists on the external hard drive to another external hard drive as a backup? Ideally, it would be great if I could be able to launch security HD since the Mac Book Pro and do the work of Lightroom with the backup image files and intelligent previews correctly. Thanks again. Your help has been invaluable.
