hard drive 500 GB
Hi guys, I have a little problem ^^
Namely: my 500 GB Toshiba hard drive no longer works, but there are a lot of files on there that I definitely want to get back. I've still guaranteed.
Now normally when you use your guarantee, your hard drive is replaced. But my problem is not the money, I can afford a new hard drive, but I absolutely need these files, then I would that my hard drive repaired.
If someone could let me know:
-Is it possible?
-How much will it cost?
-How to take the first step toward requesting a repair?
And if it is not possible:
-Are there other ways in which I could recover my files?
It is about 50-100 GB that I need recovered.
Please always let me know what price I am looking if you have a solution for me.
I had great experiences with Toshiba services so far, and I hope Toshiba can help me get out of this situation as well.
I live in Breda, Netherlands.
Thanks guys :)

When you say "no longer works", what do you mean exactly?
The HARD drive works on the other PC?
If you can not recover the data, a data recovery specialist Center can do, but they can be very expensive. $1000 +.
Search your directory of local businesses, or google.

Can I have the HP Portable hard Drive 500 GB connected all the time to the laptop?
Hello. I bought a HP Portable hard Drive 500 GB with USB 2.0 to 3.0 running on Windows XP in a Toshiba Satellite laptop since 2003. I had a few problems, probably due to the low speed of my USB port, but now it seems OK, as I moved it to a different USB port according to the instructions for help. My question is if the hard drive has been designed to be connected all the time or if I have to disconnect me and just use it whenever I have store information. Thank you
Hello
I connect 3 of them to one of my laptops all the time. I actually use a (7 ports) USB hub

hard drive 500 GB shows only 150gbs.
I have installed a new hard drive for SSHD 500GH and partitioned to install Ubuntu or Linux Mint, but later decided that I didn't want to install Linux. I tried to delete the partition, but it wouldn't let me, so I got 150GBs of space on my back.
How can I recover the other 350GBs of storage?
Here are the screenshots.
Thank you in advance.
If you have created a Linux partition on the disk, then you need to use Linux to remove it. Disk utility can not handle partitions and disks in Linux. The images you provided don't make much sense. It shows a 500 GB disc with almost 90% of accounting for 150 GB, while the rest of the drive is only 4 GBs. clearly there is a problem. You can use GParted under Linux to restore the disk on a partition full size. Set the drive is formatted using the MBR and FAT32. The OS X utility, disk utility, can read/write this format in order to be able then to re partition using the GUID and format the drive using Mac OS Extended journaled.

Problem with external hard drive 500 Gb Stor.e Steel
Hello
I ve bought a Store.e steel 500 GB external hard drive and I can't get large files (such as 4 GB) it wit. There is a message that says that the file is bigger that the system supports whenever I try to get a file of 4 GB, but I have 300 GB of free.
What evil?
Thank youI agree with user Stephen.
The file format of HARD drive seems to be FAT32, you must format the HARD disk to NTFS to be able to manage files over 4 GB.Welcome them

I can find two hard drives, but he did tell me that one is the 500 GB or 250 GB. Need to get my 500 to the C: drive.
If you start the computer (start-> computer), you can see the drives with their letters of player sizes and how much space is used. If your computer is running however, I would recommend against trying to move the letters because it is likely to make your computer unusable.
Good luck.

What version of the OptiPlex 745, have you, the Mini Tower, Desktop, Small Form Factor, or the Ultra Small Form Factor?
No, a SATA cable only supports a SATA device, unlike the cables obsolete IDE/EIDE which can take in charge two IDE devices.
