    Hi dynamitenews

     

    1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
    2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

     

    You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

    Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

    If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.

    BIOS WARNING-
    Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

     

    I hope this helps.

  • How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed?

    Original title: I need a market to resolve the problem remove the instrument.

    How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed? I have closed all other programs and waited for varying amounts of time, and tried all of the fixes that have been proposed on this site. Nothing works. I don't want to turn off the computer whenever I have to remove the device.

    I can't know what "all patches" you've tried, but:

    Make sure that the system restore does not monitor the external drive.  SR does need to control the system drive and to the system drive, SR has only about 1 GB of space max.  Make a right click my computer and select properties then the System Restore tab to configure SR.

    Make sure that the Indexing Service is turned off (at least for the external drive).  To disable disk indexing completely, which will also speed up your computer a bit, see http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp.  For the external drive, right-click on the drive icon in my computer, select properties and uncheck the indexing disc

    There are different workarounds short to shut down the computer, but you might want to try this third-party app first:
    http://safelyremove.com/index.html  Among other features:

    The device cannot be stopped now. Why? Never encountered the situation when Windows does not allow you to remove a device? Unlike Windows, USB remove will show you programs which prevent the device to be stopped and let you close these programs or just files that they opened on the device.

    Hello


    1. do you get this error during installation, downloading or playing the game?
    2. What is the amount of free space on the hard drive?

    Method 1: clean boot the computer and check if the problem occurs.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: Follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.
     
    Method 2: uninstall and then reinstall the game and see if the problem still occurs.

  • Can I have macbook start up from my external hard drive instead of the internal HD of the laptop?

    I use a macbook air 2014 model and would like to know if I can boot the mac from an external hard drive rather than the inside. The reason to do this is to save space on the laptop and updates can be installed directly on the external hard drive.

    Is this possible? Forgive me, because I'm not that tech savvy. Thank you in advance!

    Yes. Install or clone of Mac OS X on it and then select it in the pane of the system preferences Startup disk.

  • Can G - sensor on hard drive - I do the external HD?

    Hello, I'm going to add a hard drive SSD for the NB200 and I was wondering what the G-sensor added to the size of the hard drive that comes as standard? I would like to take advantage of the internal standard as an external hard drive in an external enclosure via USB.

    Thanks for the info

    My friend has a NB200 and I upgraded the HARD drive in it, and I think that the G-Sensor is not part of HARD drive and not added on the HARD drive. Its a component on the motherboard, so you can remove it from the system.

  • USB - external hard drive WD My Book 1230 is not recognized (Code 28 - access denied)

    Problem started with the purchase of a an external 4 TB My Book Western Digital drive.

    I bought this second external drive for backup on a fully functional IDENTICAL existing WD my book 1230 4 Tb.

    My PC is a HP Pavilion e9180f running under Windows 7 64-bit.

    The new external drive is not recognized by the PC... I get the error message

    Device driver software was not successfully installed

    Please consult the manufacturer of your device to help get this device installed

    My book 1230 X failed

    When I put the driver (with admin rights) I get the error message

    Windows encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device.

    Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it (USB Mass Storage Devive - access denied)

    I tried the HDD not recognized on a HP Envy laptop running Windows 8 and it is recognized and work very well (if the disk is OK).

    As a possible solution, I downloaded and installed the driver for the WD HARD drive without erasing the situation.

    I tried to plug the WD My Book 1230 on all existing 7 port USB of the PC and the situation still exist.

    In Device Manager the defective WD My Book 1230 appears under the category "other devices."

    I tried the Microsoft Mr.Fixit running without correcting the problem.

    You have a trick to help me solve the problem.

    Thank you.

    Unfortunately, your procedure has not worked as the device could not be uninstalled from the Device Manager.

    As I prepared to reinstall Windows 7, I gathered information from Control Panel - programs.

    I did a search by the most recent dates, and I realized that an Application has been installed and I was not aware that I installed it.

    The cause of my 9 day long search for a solution was a malicious program called Manager of adjustment by the AZTECS.

    Removing and restarting desktop cured the problem.

    Now all USB devices, including my Western Digital My Book 1230 are recognized.

    Thanks for your advice, support and everything.

    It is a "case closed" with a happy ending :-)

  • 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)

  • How to recover my data stored on an external hard drive now that I use a MAC

    I bought a Sea Gate 2 to external hard drive for my Dell PC a few months back.  It saved my whole computer and check everyday for any extra stuff back up.  Recently, I switched to a MAC, and in a prime time could not open at all.  However, I called door seafarers and they helped me set up my Mac so now I can open it as a hard drive.  However I still do not see the material recorded from my PC.  I was told that Windows has somehow compress the files when it is saved as a backup, and this is perhaps why I can't see my old files.  If anyone has any ideas I'd love to help.

    It's really a question you need to ask the experts of Mac (choose the forum that pertains to your variety of Mac).  However, the information that anyone who will help you needs to know is what software created backup files.  In other words, what "saved" your computer?

    For example, you use Windows Ntbackup?  You use software provided with the Seagate drive?

    If you can open the Seagate on Mac disk, configure your Mac to be able to show file name extensions (the letters after the dot): http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh825.html and register this file extension to your aid application.

  • Can I restore my laptop hard drive files that have been moved to my external hard drive (who subsequentally has stopped working)?

    I cut and pasted and then a few important files from my laptop on an external hard drive. Since the external hard drive stopped working. Is it possible to find the files that have been moved?

    Thank you!

    (More info: I tried to recover the files from external hard disk but it requires a physical recovery and would cost over $ 1000, which I did not; also unfortunately I don't think I created backup via the "backup and Restore Center" files in the control panel).

    It depends on how long you have moved the files, and how the computer has been used since.

    If you have Vista Business, Ultimate or enterprise, you can use the previous versions.
