HARD drive external (E :) hangs and then said: "Not responding" when trying to backup.)

Original title: backup on an external hard drive

I'm trying to back up my files on an "External" hard drive It's me E: drive as the location, but it just hangs up there says "not responding". I tried to do an "Archive" in the "My Documents" folder, I saw files transfer, however all my names of my files are now blue in 'My documents' whatever that means? What drive letter should go a hard drive 'external '? I should be able to click on that drive and see what is on my external hard drive, but it doesn't "not responding"...

External drive (E :) will not name until you give him one.  It is possible that the disk has not been formatted yet.

Open disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK).
You will see something like this:

You will have a line for 'Disk 2' but which shows next to your "disc 1". Please provide ALL information in the "Disk 1" line.

For example, if you had the image above, the response from you I'm looking for would be:

Disc 1 - Basic - 186,31 GB - online
Ghost images (D :) - 93,13 GB NTFS - healthy (active))
Data backup (E :) - 50,57 Go NTFS - healthy)
42.61 GB - not assigned

  • Why my windows freeze and go does not respond when I try to install the msn photo on hotmail download tool?

    Why my windows freeze and go does not respond when I try to install the msn photo on hotmail download tool?

    The active x bar descends into the small window and freezes all windows open right there and will not respond. This happens when I open a new message and try to attach photos.

    Things I tried but has not made a difference:

    reinstalled IE 8, deleted the history of the browser, disk Cleanup, removed msn photo upload control, optimized IE8

    With xp media center

    PS. This occurs also at any time the information down to install an active x on any site control

    The only way to surf now with frustration is to use IE 8 NOT add optional

    So I fixed that on my own and that's how I did it.

    You must uninstall IE 8 completely which will bring you to IE 7 (in my case) and then install IE 8 via the site updates or microsoft.

    Uninstallin IE 8 by going to:

    Start--->

    Control Panel--->

    Add Remove programs--->

    Scroll down to IE 8--->

    Click on delete.

    IE8 updates must be removed also, if not then click the box 'To see the updates' on the top of the window to scroll down, look for the IE 8 security updates and delete.

    Resart your computer and install IE 8.

    This worked for me and may or may not work for you.

  • Missing from the 40 GB hard drive! (R61) - Rescue and Recovery said there is no backups?

    I have a laptop R61 140 GB running on Windows Vista. It is around the age of 18 months.

    Explorer Windows says that 82 140 GB GB is used.

    When I add each folder I get only 45 GB of used space. All I really on this computer is music 26gig & some vacation photos.

    I had this problem since I first got the computer.

    I looked through discussions here that suggested that the backups can be the cause, and a program called Rescue and Recovery was the problem.

    However, when I opened this program it says that there are no backups available. However, this program is no doubt trying to run on my computer every Wednesday I get a popup saying my computer was turned off and I want to run it (I say no).

    Tools SW file is 2 GB.

    On the windows Explorer when I right-click I see there is something called 'points system recovery', there are many. However, I can't understand it here, where the data is stored, or how I would delete it.

    Please help me because it's very frustrating because I have about 40 GB of music I would like to pass through but right now that uses a lot of my remaining space.

    The problem is finally resolved when I could access MS FS through the settings on the PC.  It has a link to MS FS in settings FS (user) who has been for several weeks.  This must have been on the side of Microsoft since after accessing this link work then all the features of the FS.

  • Satellite P100: HARD drive sometimes fails to start or just not responding

    I have a satellite P100 on xp professional service pack 2. Sometimes it fails to start and appears as if the hard drive just stopped responding, does not require defragmentation.

    Checked all Diagnostics pass, can get it started by selecting the boot options multiple F12, HDD that appears first in the list.

    Although it seems not take a long time.
    Sometimes it seems to stall at the start to the top but picks up then after a few minutes and fortunately sometimes it starts without a problem.

    What is data corrupted in the bios? but then why it starts ok sometimes and not others? It doesn't matter if it's hot or cold.

    any ideas or help greatly received.

    Hello David

    It's a very strange situation, and for me there is no explanation simply. In my opinion the laptop or HARD drive, the functionality must be tested properly. Here in the forum we can speculate just what is the problem here but mobile startup must be tested with the other HARD drive pre-installed with original recovery image.

    It will be interesting to know if the problem disappeared with new HARD drive. So what you can do now? If possible, try to get the second HARD drive and do the only testicles or make a call to the authorized service center and explain the situation. If the laptop is guaranteed to be valid, it will be better to check in service because they can replace free HARD drive (if the HARD disk is defective).

    Sorry, but I don't see another solution. Some test with the new HARD drive can help you to understand if this happens because of the HARD drive. I don't think that the BIOS can be responsible for the issue described.

  • BSOD with Memory_Management error when connecting hard drive external

    I have an ASUS all-in-one about a year with Windows 8.  About a week ago, I got the BSOD with error Memory_Management and OS was never able to recover.  After trying several system restores with no luck, I unplugged my external hard drive, and the operating system booted up normal.  I checked the hard drive on another computer and it worked fine.  I tried another external hard drive on my ASUS and as soon as the operating system detected it, I got the BSOD again.  I tried other USB ports with the external hard drive and the same result.  I tried a USB stick in the USB ports and it worked fine.  Need help please I can save is no longer my files.

    It is a very strange problem if associated USB devices work, but the HARD drive is not. Have you checked for a firmware update for the manufacturer HARD drive + assured your USB drivers on the computer, it blocks are perfectly up-to-date on the site of the manufacturer (not Windows Update or Device Manager)?

    Kind regards

    Windows 7 Ultimate - 64-bit
    I installed it on a HP Pavilion, OS, 64-bit, and I have this problem.
    People report that it does not occur with Windows 7 32 bit OS.

    Problem:
    Any brand of external hard drive USB (and other USB devices sometimes) lose its connection and stops working only when copying large files internal drive to external USB drives.
    The USB device may appear to work properly when Windows first starts, but later stops working (crashes computer) after the start of large files to copy. You must restart Windows for the USB is working again.
    This only occurs when you copy files large files to THE USB port, not on the internal drive. It happened when I synicing my IPhone with Itunes when it started the synchronization of music files.

    According to the suggestions I have:
    1) updated the BIOS from the websites of the manufacturers.
    (2) power management disabled on the USB hub for disks
    (3) ensure that the BIOS for Legacy USB is set to.  I don't have this option in the BIOS settings.
    (4) this is not a motherboard problem, it is located on three different MB that we use.
    Also tried three different USB drives and different cables.

    Because I tested with two different computers updated and USB drives, our opinion is that this problem indicates that the Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

    Someone knows a solution?

    Hello. I created a disk image of my mac HD on an external hard drive. It is: my mac HD is used 282 320 GB, backup disk image, I did a 251 gb. Is all backed up? I need to be sure before you reformat the HD and install mac so original. Can anyone help on this? Thank you

    Probably not.

    Need an external hard drive as large or larger than the drive you want to back up.

    You have not said what backup software you are using.

    I use Carbon Copy Cloner by https://bombich.com/ $40.00 there. You can also use Super Duper.

    These two products will make a bootable backup complete or a clone of you existing hard drive, including your recovery partition.

    Once you made the backup, if your hard drive has never been to fail, you could simply start on the external backup drive.

    If you back up because you're upgrading the hard drive for an SSD, you can put the SSD in an external enclosure and clone your drive in the SSD, test it, and then replace the HD when you are confident that it works well.

    P.S. External hard drives are cheap these days. Here is an example: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-my-passport-ultra-1tb-external-usb-3-0-2-0-portab le-hard-drive-classic-black/7869174.p? id...

  • I removed my xp hard drive to another computer and now it says I need to 'enable '.

    I removed my xp hard drive to another computer and now it says that I have to 'activate' and when I try, I get a weird response and they all but hang up on me.  I used this drive for many years, even the screen shows a picture of my table with flowers in a vase.  What is going on?  How can I get this problem?

    Your hard drive, installed on a computer with Windows XP was preinstalled by the computer manufacturer? If this is the case, then you have a "OEM version" of Windows which is linked to the computer first it is installed on and cannot be moved or reinstalled on another computer.

    If however you have a "Commercial" of XP version that you bought in a store, then you should be able to activate by phone, be aware that move the drive from one computer to another is more often go to work and XP may have problems (device drivers and other issues). The best solution is a clean installation (after you back up your data files).
