1 TB external hard drive works on XP but not Windows 7
1 TB Toshiba external hard drive.
It works on my laptop that runs Windows XP bot not on the laptop that is running Windows 7, if the hard disk works. It also works on Vista.
My Seagate (320 GB) hard drive works on the Windows 7 laptop - so the USB ports are not defective.
When I plug the hard 1 TB drive that it appears not on the Manager list of devices, or the title of the disk management, still green light from the disk hard flashes and lights up like it normally does when plugged into the laptop XP.
I have read all the forums and tried the following: edited the Registery values for mass storage devices USB (deleted and lower filters); Edited the "Usbstor" INF file as suggested check, the Toshiba site for any compatibility issues, and they have suggested that it is a problem of windows 7, given that the player works on other platforms.
Because the disc is not visible in device etc Manager I can't try the other options.
Any input would be appreciated
I found the problem to be with the controller Toshiba uses on their external hard drives.
I removed the hard drive Toshiba of the carcass, put it in an envelope of SeaGate (thus using a SeaGate controller) and it worked fine.
To my knowledge there is no software around HD Ext Toshiba and W7 work. Take the HD out of the envelope, buy a cheap eSATA to USB connector & problem solved.

new hard drive recognized in the device mgr but not my computer how to format?
bought a new hard drive for additional storage running on xp home SP3. It is recognized in the bios and in Device Manager but not on 'my computer '. How can I access it to get in shape or to install the NTFS file system on it (if the formatting is incorrect terminology) then it will become usable as a storage device.
You use the disk for this purpose.
Start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK
Right-click on the unallocated space, choose New Partition and use the wizard to (a) define a drive letter, (b) the size of the partition and (c) format the newly created partition.
For step by step directions: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309000
To keep things simple, to stick to "basic disks and volumes" and "primary partitions" (you can have up to 4 per physical disk).

You have a hard drive partition to do - but you would need to contact/see the FAQ from the hardware manufacturer (HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) to see if and how.
Otherwise - you might have to order (pay for possibly) the factory restore/recovery of the value of the manufacturer.
If it was built * friend *, you will communicate with them. Ask your media.

You say that you have started from the XP CD, but something is wrong with that
you do. Just boot from the CD and follow the prompts for a

My problem is very similar to the one raised here:
However, the OP in this question unfortunately never had answer to his question.When I plug my Xbox 360 controller on my laptop, my computer recognizes it as a device, but does not recognize it as a game controller. Instead, my device is listed under a category called "Other devices", and the drivers are not installed (he gets the little warning sign yellow after the icon).I tried to install the correct 'Microsoft Xbox 360 accessories' (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/xbox-360-controller-for-windows (Windows 7 64-bit)) and direct the machine to install its drivers from there, but nothing helps.I've tried right-clicking on the device, by clicking 'Uninstall', out in him plugging, uninstalling and reinstalling Microsoft Xbox 360 accessories, restarted my computer and each unique combination of these things.I tried to talk to an Ambassador of Microsoft, who told me to update the driver and manually make a 'human interaction device', but unfortunately it did not work.I called Support of Windows games, who gave me information from these links:support.Microsoft.com/kb/908888support.Microsoft.com/kb/906347Outside of download the drivers manually in the form of 'Microsoft Xbox 360 accessories' (which I already have), I wasn't able to try all of the hotfixes listed in the guides, because my camera is not listed as a joypad or human interface device. It is simply listed as "Xbox 360 Joypad" and it is listed under the heading "other devices."It seems that there is just something wrong with my USB and it's just is not installing drivers properly, but this isn't the case. I plugged many other devices, including an iPod, a mouse and an external HARD drive, which all had their drivers properly installed and works great.I also know that it is not a problem with the xbox controller, that I plugged into another laptop (also Windows 7 64-bit), as well as pilots very well on the other laptop.I'm really puzzled by this situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated, but please do not repeat the information or links I listed here, or who was in the last question which I quoted above. Thank you for your help.UPDATE: I finally got to work. Everything is beautifully detailed in this video from Youtube:
Here's what you do:1. plug your device and go to Device Manager2 right click on everything that your computer recognizes your device as (for me, it was listed under 'Other devices' and had a yellow warning sign on this subject) and click on "Uninstall".3. disconnect your device4. If you have not already done so, download and install the appropriate for your device 'Microsoft Xbox 360 accessories' program5. plug your device back on and go back to Device Manager6 right-click on everything that your computer recognizes your device as (for me, it was listed under 'Other devices' and had a yellow warning sign on this subject), but this time click on "update driver software".7. click on "browse computer driver software.8. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers for devices on my computer.9.

hard drive went and HP said not included in the warranty?
I'm stumped.
My computer would not start.
HP now tells me that it is not included in the warranty, since it must have had spilled water on it, or dropped.
This is not true.
He has simply stopped working on me.
How can they be sure that it was not a mechanical problem?
They told me to call customer service, but the number they gave me 866-442-7029 is not correct.
What should I do now?
Well,.
Finally, we have the bottom of things.
After agreeing only not treatment of me the gift to the 866-684-3620 (I refused to accept that it is a failure due to misuse and pay the fee), it tells me that there is nothing he can do to help me more.
"You want me to fully waive the fee and I can't do it."
So, I asked if there was someone else, I can speak to, superior to him.
He then "climbed the case", and I got a call a day later, Eric, whose callback number was 877-917-4380 (unit 88). It turns out that Eric is a real, American HP customer service agent. He reviewed the notes and me (hope you're sitting) says:
Of course, the guarantee is covered and there was no user caused damage.
The reason I received misinformation of donation to this other number was that I asked that they also return me damaged the old hard disk (that I can try to get the data off it... see this article: http://www.geekyprojects.com/storage/how-to-recover-data-from-a-broken-hard-drive/ )
)
and since (the hard drive broke his back) is not included in the warranty, I was being charged for an out of warranty service.
!!!
I told Eric that Don does nothing of the sort. He told me that the damage to the car has been documented as being caused user and was therefore not in the warranty.
Eric told me that misunderstood gift probably notes.
(Strange thing is that people in India or in as much that the HP number 800-474-6836, also said that the damage is not included in the warranty and I have to pay for it. When I pressed them to find out why this is so, they quoted me the number of 866-684-3620.)
In any case, I haggled a bit with Eric and he was quite kind to put in a special request that the repair and the former player returned to me with the machine (remember, they throw out otherwise). Indeed, it has been, and I am always grateful.
Just a couple of points.
(1) the gift of first wanted to charge me $270 for the new disc repair. When I refused, he says can "take labor costs on and just charge me for parts... $180. Well, google it. Road costs about $40. How honest is that?
(2) I called this number 866-684-3620 the next day and said the gentleman who responded (this time it's Mark, not Don) what happened. In my innocence, I told him I'm relaying it so that the next time someone asks the old rear drive (I guess his commune... who wants to kick back all their data), you tell them 'it was a damaged caused user. " Well, Mark told me that he couldn't care less and would not do anything with the information that I just gave him. Would not relay it to anyone.
Later, I realized that the number of 866-684-3620 is not HP, but the number for people to Quanta Computer, which are a company who perform repairs for HP. clearly, it is in their interest to do a repair and to be paid by the owner of the laptop, not HP. (HP does not pay $180 to replace a hard drive that cost me the retail $40!)
Bottom Line: Don't download jostled by the people of 866-684-3620. Ask that the case "degenerate." You will get a HP person and this time an intellegent and speak English.
For other examples of complaints of people buffeted by staff at 866-684-3620 (Quanta Computer), just google
866-684-3620.
At the end of the day, however, I would like to thank Eric and also HP, to fix my computer and the hard drive back.
(By the way, the best place to get the HDD replacement PCB is: http://www.onepcbsolution.com/ .) Change the pcb often allows you to recover your data.)

original title: activation problem
-I got my product key Windows 7 enabled on my computer, then my hard drive crashed, so I had to reinstall Windows on a new hard drive. He is now not letting me turn it back on. What should I do? I don't want my computer or Microsoft thinks I use a version of Windows
It is Windows 7 Home Premium, and I my here in front of me activation code. But it is to say that it is not valid.
Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.
When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.
15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.
So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

Redesign existing external hard disks and still 6 Lightroom able to find existing photos.
I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive. Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files. I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter that has been designated by Lightroom to store my photos. I could go into my Windows 10 and reset the player to the letter that Lightroom has given at the beginning of the external hard drive. However, I know this can happen again, if I connect any stick USD or another device, while the external hard drive is not connected to my laptop. I found the information that I can do the new designation of the final drive by choosing a letter it is 1/2 way or higher in the alphabet. I would like to turn an external hard drive on a strong letter, warns we hope this previous problem. My question is, if I already have a lot of pictures on this external hardrive with the designation of the current drive, how it becomes a higher letter and have 6 Lightroom recognizes files, now under the new designation of drive letter without having to go to each photo individually and manually force Lightroom 6 find each photo. It would take more time than I'd like to lose. Is there a way to get just 6 Lightroom to recognize the new disk designation has changed and is able to find all of the existing files?
I have read the ADOBE LightRoom 6 manual and seem not to be able to find anything on how to do it.
Any help would be welcome.
Thank you!
So in Windows, you can select a drive like q letter (or any other letter you want only towards the end of the alphabet)
Then in Lightroom, you can reconnect to the photos on q: the following instructions (see specifically 4 Figure and related text)
