• 6 to up to 1.6 TB available external hard drive formats

  Just bought a 6 TB external HD. When the formatting only to 1.6 is available. Why?

  Hello Welcome to Apple Support communities, and Curtis

  I guess that you'e using disk utility to do the formatting? Your problem seems curiou, this looks like a problem, I used to have with 32 - bit systems, but since your Mac Mini is a 64-bit computer, this should be irrelevant. Maybe El Capitan can simply not fomt a player as such.

  Out of curiosity, have you tried to format the drive Seagate on another machine but also your box Seagate does support a USB 3.0? It is much faster than FireWire, it will be better fair access to juice a big drive.

  Kind regards

• Portege Z830-10N - SSD drive formatting / wiping

  Hello

  What is the best way to wipe the SSD in this laptop.
  Religiously I used always erase HARD drive to factory reset/wipe SSD drives.
  The reason is that it becomes the player running "like new".

  I was always told never to format these disks using a windows disc.
  Erasing the HARD drive does not work in AHCI mode and you cannot change the SATA mode in the BIOS version :(

  Is there a tool I can use to secure erase this player in this laptop?
  If so what and where can I find it please?

  Otherwise any1 know of any clever way of getting this deleted drive?

  Thank you

  Hello

  > I always told me never to format these disks using a windows disc.
  Why?
  I put t see why the SSD doesn't have to be formatted before you start the installation of the OS.
  I did it several times on my laptop where the HARD drive has been replaced with SSD drive.

  During the installation of the system, you will be asked if you want to format the HDD/SSD to erase / format or create new partitions. You can do it if you want

• Bad Partition on external hard drive: format the bad Partition or format the entire disk?

  I am confused how to proceed.

  I have an external hard drive 3 TB with partitions (3). One of the parititons cannot be verified. I saved the partition and tried to repair disk. Repair disk failed and invited me to reformat the hard drive.

  How can I reformat the partition without affecting other partitions (2) good bad?

  Or do I have to save all the external drive (all 3 partitions) and then to reformat all the external drive?

• Western Digital 4 TB black drive format properly

  I have this new drive.  When I try to erase using disk utility, it appears like a 2.2 to mechanism.

  Is there a secret that it is able to format these new larger disks?

  I forgot to mention, I use a disk dock USB 2.0 external drive attached to try to format the drive.  I guess for this, the conversion USB SATA (otherwise the other SATA drives do not work in this thing).

  But this could be the problem?

  If someone tells me that if I open the machine and install the player in a Bay by car, it will work, then I will do so immediately.

  Thank you.

• Default backup Acer Aspire (win 8.1) factory HP 320 GB Pocket drive format to Clipboard 32 GB

  How can I get to use Acer Aspire win8.1 desktop that I preformed an Acer factory default creation backup on my HP 320 GB pocket drive that seems to have reformatted my 320 usb HP pocket drive in an expensive paperweight of 32 GB. try to reformat my HP 320 usb reader Pocket using win 8.1 not using NTFS produces no result.

  Well, I can't help you with the stuff on the HP Acer Aspire forum but I can help you to recover your HP external disk.

  Are you say that now it shows only 32 GB drive and the custom recover the entire 320?

  If so, you should be able to delete the partition/partitions on this physical drive, and then create a large volume everywhere again.

  • Make a right click on this PC (computer) or what you named it, and then choose manage.
  • Then select disk management. You can also type in disk management search bar to find. The external hard drive will have one or more partitions that should be the 32 GB drive and the rest of the space. The rest of the space can make it appear not allocated. I'll have to guess here.
  • Right-click on the 32 GB drive and delete the volume. You can do the same thing if she has another partition in there too.
  • Once the drive is unallocated space, you can right click in this field and create a new Volume, and then format it and others.

  Let me know how it turns out.

• New C: drive formatting

  I already installed, formatted and cloned the new drive.  I've been starting & running on the new drive for the past few days and everything seems to work properly; just need to re-register a few programs.  My question is if the way I formatted the new drive is adequate?

  The new drive is 1397,26 Go NTFS

  The original C: drive is 47 MB FAT / 144.96 GB NTFS / FAT 32 GB 4.01

  Should I reformat the drive again with the same partitions FAT / NTFS / FAT32?

  Or just an NTFS OK?

  An NTFS partition is fine.

  Looks like the 4.01 GB was for a recovery partition, which can be handy when you go to reinstall. But if everything is installed and works fine, the a partition is fine.

• Boot hard drive formatting

  This can be something simple, I forgot, but my attempts to find these information have failed. I have a Vista computer. The hard drive is really too small and slow. I bought a new card to disk and controller takes SATA. I wanted to replace the old slow hard drive with this one. Install drive went well. I found that I could format the disk management. That worked out fine. I could write and read the new drive. However, it was not bootable. I have not been able to find how to make this record a boot disc for I can remove the old hard drive except in a strange way. I found a backup shareware program that copy one hard drive to another. In doing so, he copied all the features of the player if the new drive is bootable. Of course, to do this way also copied all the junk and trash that I had on the old disk.

  So my question is: How can I format a new hard drive in a Vista system to make it bootable?

  I think everydoby is a bit confusing as th what exactly you're trying to do.

  Your last message indicates that you do this new bootable driver without having an operating system on it, or actually Start on this disc.

  You want to define the characteristics of the disc to match the characteristics of the disk drive where your operating system is installed?

  Unerstand that will never happen.  With attributes of the drive from which the operating system has loaded will always be different when it is displayed in the disk management console.  I guess you look at the values in nest () to the State.  If I'm here made me know.

  I hope I said something that helps you here ~

• with a 2 drive formatting issues to WD cannot format passed 1 TB (931 gb)

  I have a problem of formatting with my new 2 Terabyte Western Digital Drive using Windows tools (computer management: storage: disk management)

  I am running Vista Ultimate 32 bit SP2 all patches current
  ASUS P5NSLI MB (award bios) bios is more recent (1801) of the site of ASUS
  Western Digital Caviar Green WD20EADS is 2 TB drive

  I can't format beyond the point of 1 TB if I do formatting in windows full it stops at 54% and crashes if I do a formatting quick I get an IO error. I've already replaced the drive once through new eggs. the replacement drive is having the exact same issues. full format stops at 54% or quick format gives me a failure.

  If I partiion drive (usually get mistakes of e/s through the windows Disk Manager) I can create a partion of 1 TB and sucessfully do a quick format. Player appears to sucessfully read and files right. I made several transfers of multi GB files to this partion sucessfully. However the rest of 1 TB is not able to be formatted or partitioned through the windows. I get an IO error every time. I also tried to expand the disk through windows unsucessfully, it will not alow me or to increase the 1 TB storage. (931 GB).

  try a different aproach I downloaded the WD diagnostic tools executed through vista and they always give me an error "cable" in vista. I replaced the cables 2 x just to dismiss it as a problem. (I ran other readers on this port sata very well with the same cables).

  I also used what seems to be successfully using gparted (linux) to format the drive to NTFS. GParted reported a success on the format, but look in windows it usually shows as a drive of 1 MB for some reason any. tweak in windows, that I managed to access a partition of 1 TB. The part funny though when I express this partition to its maximum, this is where things get weird. The reader in vista Disk Manager displays as a 1963,1 GB disk but look through 'My computer' its only shows a 931 GB drive empty.

  I'm at my wits end trying to figure this. I made many calls to western digital and Asus to see if it is a bios issue or a conversation about drive failure nearly goes like this. Western Digital blamed the bios, Asus gripe with vista.

  Can someone help me?

  -----------
  I have just solved this problem for my HP Blackbird PC and am now able to easily partition and format a new Seagate 2 TB internal hard drive of 32-bit Vista running on this PC.

  The solution was to update my drivers Nvidia 680i chipset, available in a package update of Nvidia, not through normal driver of Microsoft and pages of OS update as much as I know.  See the above URL for more details.

  I had already tried using a stand-alone and formatting utility drive partition and even if I could create and do a quick format of the drive 2 TB, it would still fail software database to hard drive diagnostics, falsely showing hard drive looking for errors.  Also, when I ran the Windows chkdsk/f/r half of the hard drive has been marked as containing bad sectors, which later proved to be false.  After the update of the driver, no material errors are produced and no large number of defective sectors found.

  It's a problem of confusion since it seems due to disk problems hard or maybe a Vista problem.  Actually, I only update my SATA controller driver, which is Nvidia nForce 680i driver in my case.  NVIDIA has a web page with a script that will scan your PC and tell you what you need to update, for the GPU and their nForce chipset SATA hard drive controller drivers.

  Seagate also has a page to discuss the need to update the nForce drivers, which can be true for drivers of other manufacturers.

• D drive formatted by mistake. Need to do the recovery with recovery disks

  My laptop HP G 61 CNF 94202NN gives weird problems so I want to make a recovery. My D drive has been formatted by mistake, but I have recovery disks. I can back up my user files and electronic data (.pst files) and you will have to re - install other programs Norton, for example, Microsoft office etc. What other problems can I meet? Can I be sent a response?

  {Information} Last question. Is there a way I can recover my D drive? I do not suspect.

  Hi, Dave:

  I think that your recovery disks will recreate the D:\ recovery partition.

  Your recovery discs need to re-install all your PC except MS Office programs.

  That, I'm not sure. I don't think it's on the revovery discs.

  Yes, you must back up all the .pst files and other personal files that you have on there now.

  You can't currently retrieve your drive D:\, but as I have indicated above, the recovery discs should put the PC in the State where you got it from the store - including the recovery partition.

• External hard drive formatted with Linux OS

  The external hard drive can be seen in devices and tested as working properly, but not seen in a different folder on my computer, can not be opened. In addition, the system says that all drivers are installed.

  The drive is formatted with a Linux file system, probably ext3 or ext4.  Assuming that there are no files that you want to, you must delete all partitions, repartition the disk, and then the NTFS format.   These operations are done on disk management.  You can access by right-clicking on computer and select manage or control panel, administrative tools, computer management - Storage / Disk Management.

  Be careful!  Make sure that you work with the right drive. Right click on the drive to see the options.

  Note also, sometimes, these operations do not work through a USB adapter and it may be necessary to connect the SATA hard drive.

• Cannot detect the boot device after factory new HARD drive format

  First of all, I have a HP Pavilion G6 I bought in December 2012. Yesterday, I decided to make a new record HARD to upgrade and start over. It is a hybrid SSD + HDD 1 TB of Seagate. It installed without a hitch, and I used my HP recovery CD to make a factory disk formatting.

  He finishes, reboot, but instead to restart the HP Windows 8 installation screens, he goes to what looks like Windows 8 course mode with a box containing the date, time and he said something in the sense of 'Installing the driver HP diagnostics' with an OK. By clicking on that or didn't disappear, and there is a command line bar in the lower left corner of the screen.

  The screen becomes a HP screen that begins to install the drivers. It ends and restarts to a black screen that says "no boot device not detected, please install OS."

  I did a disk check and that's fine. I swapped my reader, and it loads fine. In fact, it's what I use now for this type.

  What could be the problem here? The boot order has never changed in the BIOs. If it was the faulty connector I doubt he would charge the reader who was always in the computer. Load disc newly formatted in an external case indicates that Windows 8 is indeed on this subject, but on a 93GB partition even if the disc is 1 TB.

  I'm in a stalemate here, and nobody seems to know what to do!

  It was indeed the hybrid propulsion system. I exchanged for a normal HARD drive and resetting factory completed without a hitch. It was the mistake on my part! I never guessed it would have been the problem.

• Drive - formatting NTFS performance

  Hello

  I'm setting up a server Exchange 2010 on Esxi 5.1. I use eager thick provisioning set to zero for the VMFS5 disk, which is 2 TB.

  In Windows, does make a difference in terms of performance if I format the drive as a full format to NTFS as opposed to a quick format?

  I know a full format checks the consistency of the disc (new server), but it takes so long to make 2 TB, I was wondering if there is a lot of difference in terms of performance?

  Thank you

  Okay, a quick format will be just fine. I've done a few trials comparing IO drive RAW to NTFS etc and a performace point of view, there is no difference. If you have time to burn, then you need for peace of mind, but if performance is your only concern then a quick format will be just fine.
