  But how can read - this 'storage system' has only the 'LAN connetion' connect with computer and for the data store. And if you connect through this 'storage system' "'connection to the local network ' it is impossible to make the defragmetation by the tools of the operating system. "

  Any help is appreciated.

• T61p how can I back up my hard drive

  <->Hello

  My laptop out of no where would not turn on and exposes the 1 long beep and 2 short beeps with a white screen. He is 5 years old and started to act a little, so I had to replace anyway, but my question is how can I save my drive hard if I can't turn on your computer?

  I read somewhere there is some type of adapter under $ 10 that plugs directly into the hard drive and then I can plug in my desktop computer... anyone know if this is true and this which is called the cord I need? Or how I could do to get my files on my hard drive?

  Thank you.

  Note of the moderator; subject published

  Will need you a 2.5 "USB to SATA external enclosure. You can buy some fees at most computer stores, for example the selection to computers Canada. 2 USB works perfectly although you can spend a little more for the newer and more fast USB 3 which will be on your new computer.

  Once you have moved the disc again case simply plug into a USB port as if it were a USB flash drive. The operating system will recognize it, install the necessary drivers and allow you to access the help of Windows Explorer or similar.

  (Note that this assumes that you does not have a hard drive on the old disk T61p password.)

• Where and how can I reinstall the external hard drive to the new HD to the computer?

  Original title: HD crashed.

  I want to thank the person who answered my question about the HD crashed I saved all my data and window xp. My next question is, how and where can I reinstall external hard drive for the new HD to the computer? Should I send it to drive c or where? I'm not strong when it comes to computers. I know just enough to get me in trouble. Thank you.

  Hello!

  You will need to use a full copy of Windows XP.  Should be a sticker with the product key on the side of your desk or below if it is a laptop.

  Once you have this drive, you can reinstall Windows XP.  After you have installed all the software and drivers, you will be able to transfer all your data to the new HARD drive.

  If you don't have a copy of Windows XP, you can probably get a copy of the recovery from the manufacturing of computer media.  Just to provide the model and serial number and they should sent it.

• How can I change primary H hard drive c?

  Recently, I had a disk failure hard and after installation to a new hard drive and reinstall all the software I found that the hard drive was affected as H c not. So far this has not been a problem because everything worked correctly. Now I want to install a new piece of software, but before I load it I get a download from the manufacturer's website. When I try this it will only download on the C drive and there is no way to change this.

  So, how can I change my c: drive? I tried under storage disk management in the computer management, but it will not allow a change.

  I am running Windows XP pro with all the updates.

  Let's try this via the disk part control

  (a) click Start and in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

  (b) at the command prompt, type diskpart , and then on enter.

  (c) type list disk and press ENTER. A list of available hard disks.

  (d) type salt disc number and press ENTER . Number is the number of the hard disk where you want to reduce; the hard drive is now selected.

  (e) type det disk , and then press ENTER .

  (f) type salt volume number and press ENTER . Number is the number of the volume that we want to reduce

  (g) type shrink desired = 1000 (reduced the volume of 1000 Mb) and wait until the action is performed

  If this does not work, please repost your question in the xp forum. It's vista forum

• How can I stop my external hard drives being renamed by Lightroom?

  Since early December, I had countless problems with LR and my external hard drives. I have 3 all Western Digital external hard drives, 2 x 320 GB passport and 1 x 1 TB elements. I called the hard disks of the computer named them when I first installed them (E & F). Since then the LR calls what he wants when I plug them so there are always question marks next to my photos as LR think I plugged a different hard drive.

  Although I don't have 1 x 1 TB hard drive WD Elements LR called something different if I unplug it and plug it in again then it starts and then trying to find all my pictures.

  My partner has no such problems as he never unplug his hard drives, but I need that sometimes I'm working on a laptop with the same LR catalog, if I work, so I take a drive with me with the images.

  I could do with:

  (a) a method of naming, my hard drives from WD for LR acknowledges that are connected

  (((b) a very simple digital workflow - I have many books of LR but need a genius LR say 1) cela 2) do this etc - I have about 30 000 pictures and even without the hard drive problems make me a bit stuck trying to be organized - I am a photographer not an administrator and I'm really bad on the organizational side.

  Help, please, I'm drowning in technology - ps I love Lightroom!

  So the question is probably WIndows XP. When you attach a remote drive, Windows XP can arbitrarily assign it to one of the drive letters D: through Z: assignments. A: and B: are reserved for floppy disk drives, and C: is usually indicated on the startup disk where Windows XP.

  The drive letters change generally when you plug external drives in different order. So if you have DriveA and DriveB, and you plug in DriveA then DriveB, then DriveA can get assigned D: and DriveB may be assigned E:. If, however, one branch in DriveB first then DriveA, the order will probably flip over in which case Lightroom lose track of all the photos he had previously in location D: and E:.

  The solution is to use the windows Disk Manager to force the assignment of drive letters. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307844 for more details. Set mailbox that uses Lightroom.

  A problem you may encounter is if you connect a new drive, then attach your photo disks. I believe Windows will give you the new drive D; slot, since it is not used, but then randomly divided the photo viewer because it is defined location is not available. Windows is a manager of poor things, Apple is not.

  The solution is to always attach the disks in the same order, and Windows will affect the drive correctly, assume a has completed the tasks in article.

  Another approach is to use the Windows mount command. If you're brave, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/205524.

• How can I attach an external hard drive for Macbook

  There's only a 3.0 port.  What should I stop?

  Are you having connection problems physically hard drive via a USB port, or do you not see the drive on the computer when connected?

  Is this a problem for the connected hard drive? Or if the hard disk is connected and you just can't access it?

• How can I delete file from HARD drive recovery?

  I burned a copy of the HDD recovery folder and would now like to delete the original folder on my hard drive that I need the space.
  Unfortunately I don't seem to have permission to make changes to the file.

  Any suggestions? (I'm a noob in vista)

  Thank you

  > burned a copy of the HDD recovery folder
  I think this will not help you if you would try to recover this file of HARD drive recovery once again!
  You need a recovery disk! This disc would only create a HARD disk partition once again!

  This means that you must create the recovery disk, first using the Toshiba recovery disc creator! This tool is preinstalled!

  So after you have created a successfully recovery disk, you can try to delete the folder from the HARD drive. But to be honest, I don t recommend this I want to say that this folder can be very useful in the future in case something goes wrong with your system

  However, I think that you cannot delete it because you don t have permission to admin
  You can try to disable UAC first
  Disable UAC is as easy as start > run > msconfig > tools > disable UAC > Ok.
