• Boot from an external HARD drive via USB

  I have an 8200 Elite SFF and wants to start an alternative system (not Linux, but * NIX - like BONE) of a disk external DRIVE, connected via a USB port. My main operating system is WIN 7 64 bit, but for some special tasks I´d like to use the alternative OS. It worked without any problem on my two previous stand-alone - elected USB as a boot device in the BIOS boot menu and it starts fine.  However, on my Compaq 8200 there no USB option in the start menu. However, when I connect the external HARD drive to a USB port, the name of the HARD disk appears in the start menu, but again, it won't start him.  Have heard that there is a tweak to fix this, or maybe I m wrong. Alternatively, my stand-alone motherboard just can´t boot from an external hard drive via USB? Any ideas?

  Yes,

  Unplug everything plugged to the computer except the keyboard, mouse and monitor.

  Then use this method to Flash the BIOS.  It's the best way to go.

  USB Device Flash BIOS DOS

  BACK Flash (DOSFlash.exe, FlshUefi.cpu) is the Flash BIOS DOS compatible system utility that can be used from a bootable BACK storage device (where the 'BACK' refers to a number of operating systems such as FreeDOS, DR - DOS or MS-DOS). FlshUefi.cpu is the driver required for DOSFlash.exe. To Flash the BIOS of the system to a bootable USB storage device, you'll need to copy the contents of the BACK Flash file on the USB device, start the PC from the USB device and run the DOSFlash application. To see a more complete description of the BACK flash utility, view DOSFlash.txt located in the folder BACK Flash. This folder also contains the required binary BIOS image.  The binary image file is named xxx_MMmm.bin , where "xxx" is the family of BIOS, 'MM' is the major version number and "mm" is the minor version number.  This file can be copied to the root directory of any removable media USB for use with F10 setup option «Flash system ROM»

  The display of the folder BACK Flash content

  The links on this post do not work. I copied the section from the BIOS flashing instructions for the specific section you need.

  Hi all

  I have a 3.5/250 GB Toshiba hard drive external. I use Windows XP as my operating system and for some reason, my PC stopped recognizing saying 'USB not recognized '.
  It is supposed to be taken & play and I'm sure that I didn't have a driver, when I installed it.

  Hallo Malc

  It is possible that you have removed the external device without using the option remove the device safely. Restart the machine and try again.

  Otherwise, you can remove all ports USB device manager and start option to add material on the list. After detection and installation it should work again.

  Hi Luuzz,

  as you probably know for boot from CD push aprox key 'C '. 3-4 seconds after pressing the power button / stop.

  This procedure has been done by the 'U' key to boot from the USB device.

  Maybe it doesn't work because your machine is an American model, then look it up in the BIOS setting if an external to start device is available!

  Please test and provide a response for reporting!

• 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)

• Transfer Media Player on a hard drive external?

  I run XP and bought an external hard drive to my music collection.  Is it possible to transfer the Media Player itself on the hard drive external?  I'd rather play on Media Player on those of the drive, that there is none.  Choose a record and that's all that you can play at the same time; No shuffle or several artists in one sitting.

  Any suggestions, anyone?

  There is no need to transfer WMP itself hard disk external, WMP can perfectly handle music on other players.

  In WMP, please press F3 to display add it to the library, make sure that Advanced Options are displayed and add the folder music on the external hard drive in the list. Now, all the music on the hard drive will be added to the WMP library.

• Satellite 2450-101: can I run recovery external HARD drive or USB key using

  Hello.

  I have a Satellite 2450-101, on which the DVD player seems to have failed (could be engine, laser; uncertain).

  I want to perform a full restore of the product, using both disks that came with the computer.
  Defective hard drives before, I copied the data on these disks to an external hard drive and a usb flash drive.

  Is it possible for me to run the recovery of the proceeds of one of these media (or indeed any source, other than the internal DVD player)?

  Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. See you soon.

  Hmmm I doubt that this can be possible because it is not possible to boot from a USB flash or external HARD disk drive.

  What you could do is to copy the folder the original Microsoft CD i386 on the HARD drive and then you can run setup.exe from this folder.
  It would begin installing the XP installation program.

  But Toshiba Recovery disk contains only image files and there is no i386 folder and therefore, you need the CD of XP Ms.

• XP hangs after connecting an external hard drive via USB port

  When I connect an external hard drive of 250GB via a USB port on my system XP - SP3, the computer crashes immediately after the sound signal from the recognition of a normal connection PnP. There is no assignment of the station. I don't know that he had worked as can be expected before. A new 500 GB external hard drive is recognized as new hardware, the driver installed and ready to use, but after that, the PC shuts down completely new. However, when I do a system startup after connection of the same two drives, everything looks OK. Also, no problem with a USB stick of 2 GB. How to find what's the problem?

  Well - it's Windows for you, sometimes. :/

  Good luck with your new installation!

• External hard drive gives USB not recognized error

  I have a Western Digital Passport 80 GB HD, which worked fine with XP until today.  I plugged this morning and received an error not recognized USB.  I followed the troubleshooting tips and online help.  It seems that in most cases, if you go to computer management / disk management, you can see the external hard drive.  This is not the case with mine.  I don't see the player.  I downloaded the recovery software, but everything is based on the premise that the drive appears.  Mine does not work.  Can someone help me?

  Thank you.

  Unfortunately, this drive has probably went wrong.  Have you tried another cable to connect your player to your computer?  It may be a long shot, but it is possible that the cable could be damaged.  You may need to take your car to a specialist in recovery to recover the data.  I apologize for the bad news.

  See you soon
