I even formatted the hard drive & tried to install Xp, but still, I get the same message.

  The answers will be appreciated...

  Thank you

  Because the Windows XP installation CD does not have the necessary disk controller drivers.  You will need a floppy drive to provide the drivers of controller for the installation program, or you will need to burn a CD of Windows XP with the controller drivers slipstreamed into the installation.  A CD of Windows XP with SP2 included may have the necessary drivers.

• External hard drive not appearing is not in Windows Explorer

  I have a Toshiba external hard drive that has been previously connected to a MAC and that worked very well. I have data on the MAC that I need to put on my PC that is running Windows Vista, but when I plug it into the computer it does not appear in windows Explorer.  She appears as installed hardware and appears under Device Manager/disk management, but there is not a disk entrusted to him.  When I right click on it to assign a drive, this option is grayed out and I can't assign the driver.  Is this what can I do to access the external drive?

  Thank you

  Try the DISKPART command line?

  Using a command line

  1. open the command prompt.

  2. type: diskpart

  3. at the DISKPART prompt, type: list of volume

  Note the number of the simple volume without drive letter assignment.

  4. at the DISKPART prompt, type: select volume n

  Select the volume, where n is the volume number, without drive letter assignment.

  5. at the DISKPART prompt, type: assign letter = L

  Where L is the drive letter you want to assign to the drive.

  AutoPlay must illuminate with the newly assigned drive letter.

• Drive external HARD USB will not access the files correctly on Satellite A100-033

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-033 (PSAANE-03J02GEN), running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.
  I have a Western Digital passport external hard drive, which has no power source, because it pulls its power via the USB port.

  Sometimes the player works fine, but I often have huge problems to access files on the drive. Opening a folder can make Windows to hang.

  Open an audio file or a Word can do Word or audio software crash. Copy files often fails and in the process can make the Explorer Windows stop working.

  Recently I tried to copy a 33MB file from the external hard drive to my laptop, and while he did it took more than an hour. So many things can happen, none of them pleasant.

  Problems can occur if the external drive is the only device connected to a USB (apart from an external mouse, I always use), or if the external hard drive is one of a number of devices plugged into my laptop - either separately or through a USB hub (powered or unpowered).

  Anyone know what is happening and how I can make my USB external drive usable? I have two other external drives (powered by their own power source) and they work perfectly.

  Why, most of the time, do drive limp along so badly that they are virtually unusable?

  Hello

  One thing is clear; the problem is definitely related to the external HARD drive and not the laptop. It seems that this problem still occurs if the HD has been connected.

  It of really difficult to say what could be wrong with your external HARD drive
  Maybe HARD drive sectors are corrupt, and therefore you can not open folders and some files stored on the HARD drive.

  Have you tried to format the HARD drive? Check this box and try to save and re-open cases.

  In the worst case that the external HARD drive has a hardware malfunction

• Local TV news sez DO NOT USE Windows Explorer for XP and Windows 7!

  Information TV local sez not to use Windows Explorer in Windows XP and Windows 7. Microsoft will provide you with a "Toolbox" as a temporary solution. There is problem that a 'hacker' can support my computer through Microsoft Windows Explorer. Is a CLEAR and PRESENT an IMMEDIATE DANGER?  Can I uninstall Windows Explorer? What should I install to take the place of the Windows Explorer?  How can I find the 'Toolbox' of Microsoft?  I use Microsoft Update at least twice a week to keep abreast of updates. I have McAfee Security installed.  Thanks for your comments, Kenneth Markson - * address email is removed from the privacy *

  Don't believe everything you read in the newspapers or see on TV.

  Then, you must distinguish 'Windows Explorer' (file management tool) and "Internet Explorer" (web browser).  You cannot uninstall Windows Explorer.  It is an integral part of Windows.

  You can't really delete Internet Explorer either, although in recent versions of Windows, you can remove a lot of it.

  You probably think of this story of a discovery recently 'zero-day exploit' in Internet Explorer: http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2012/09/18/internet_explorer_zero_day_vulnerability_ie8_ie9_hack_means_you_should_switch_browsers_.html
  You can read about so-called bypass Microsoft here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2757760 but they are so heavy that they are virtually worthless for the average user.

  If you are worried, I suggest the following:
  1. do not visit web sites that you don't know everything.
  2. make sure that your antivirus application is up-to-date.
  3. make sure that you have Microsoft Update set to automatically get updates (not just twice a week, although that normally, it's probably OK): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306525
  4 and probably first of all, rather than Finally, download and install another browser, like Firefox or Google Chrome.  If you use one of these browsers instead of Internet Explorer, there is no need to actually remove Internet Explorer (and you still need to use it to get Microsoft Updates).

  Get Firefox here: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/
  Download Chrome here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/
  Get opera here: http://my.opera.com/community/opera/get
  Download Safari here (even if apparently Apple growing is more Safari for Windows): http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1531

• New user account appearing is not in Windows Explorer (Windows 7)

  I just got my reset of the HP laptop and I'm trying to set up a new account, I followed the procedure, but my new account does not appear in the list of users under Windows Explorer. only one generic user appears.

  When you create a new user account in Windows 7, it prepares the system for the new profile, but does not create records.

  User files are only created when a new user connects to Windows first. While Windows creates the folder structure for the new user, you will see the text in preparing your desktop on the Welcome screen. That's why the first connection to a new user profile takes a little longer than usual.

  So to see a new user profile folders in Explorer you should first user or disconnection of the account used to create the new user, and then connect to the new user profile.

• hard drives are not displayed except c:

  I was with win xp SP3 before the power failure.

  After a power failure and strongly fluctuating I fell from my PC and after when I turned it on, I think all good except local disk

  local drives except c: do not appear in my computer.
  I tried to see in disk management, but they are not shown here also
  then I tried to fix my version of windows, but there is nothing else that change for sp3 to sp2
  I tried to write F:\ instead of C:\ , but it says "file:///f:/". ' could not be found. Make sure that the path and the Web address is correct.
  Now, I am unable to use all of the data stored in the drives d, e, f
  But when I tried to download anything on the F drive (already together, without having to travel) by using the Download Manager it saved successfully but is somewhere in the c drive
  I'm tired out now... Can do you for me?

  Hi xdeeep,

  As readers do not appear in disk management, the problem is likely related material.

  Check if the drives are detected properly in the output system BIOS (Basic). If they are not listed, it is possible, that the discs are damaged.

  If the drives are listed, try to perform a system restore.

  System Restore can return your files system to a point in time before you noticed a problem, without affecting documents, photos, or other personal files. If the system restore does not resolve the problem, you can undo the restore operation and choose a different restore point.

• PDF files shows no not in windows Explorer

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium
  THAT IS TO SAY 8

  Occasionalyy, after I download a PDF file, I can't see the file. Finished downloading the file, but does not appear. However, if I go to download another file, downloaded files appear in the window "Save as" Windows Explorer, but not in the regular Windows Explorer window. I can open the files from there the window "save under" clicking and choosing 'open file '.

  It's strange because this does not happen to all files. It occurs also on ordinary IE downloads, but not as often.

  Any ideas on how to make visible files?

  Thank you

• Topic shows in the project manager, but not in Windows Explorer

  Hello

  I have an A project topic that I would like to import into the project B. When I work in project B and click import and watch the list of topics in project A, I don't see the topic I need. However, if I open A project, I can see in the project manager. The section opens and appears in the table of contents correctly.

  I don't know what is happening or how to fix this. I am reluctant to experiment because I myself got subject struggling outside the project before moving.

  Thank you

  I thought to it after I posted my question. I opened the Properties section and the name of the file is different than the title of the topic. Of course, in Windows Explorer, I saw the file name, not the name of the topic.

  Thank you

• My external HARD disk enclosure has disappeared from Windows Explorer

  I installed a new 1 TB Seagate HD in my computer comes with a new of Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - bit SP1 copy.  I put the old 500 GB Seagate drive in an enclosure so I can use it to backup my files on the computer.  I named the pregnant disk K and finally got it work.  I did a back up on top of the first and last the drive disappeared from Windows Explorer.

  I opened the disk management and got this:

  

  Disc 1 is the external enclosure.  I can say this because it's the only thing connected to the computer of this size.  I clicked on OK to initialize it and got this:

  

  The case has its own power supply and is attached via a USB 3.0 cable, although all of my USB 2.0 ports.   I changed the drive to another port and received a message that I had to format it.  So I clicked OK for this, and that's what I then:

  

  Now I am more than willing to admit that I'm the worst person in computer science, you will find.  I don't know in Hades, how whether a player who worked Monday suddenly became a reader read only or how to change it if it has.  Is there someone who can help me with this?  In easy plain English?

  I would really appreciate it.

  Thanks for the update. Since the final stages of troubleshooting we provided that you did not work, we suggest you contact the manufacturer of your HARD drive. The error message you get already indicates a failure of the hard drive.
