How can I get Windows 7 to read RAW hard drives without having to format the hard drive due to important work on this subject?

Original title: the file format of external hard drive is the RAW and not NTFS. How can I get Windows 7 to read RAW hard drives without having to format the hard drive due to important work on this subject?

I put the hard drive on an XP and Vista machine and can read the hard drive, but not with Windows 7

Hi Zling,

It works on other OS? When did you finally read the disc and with what OS? If you can read the drive and make a backup of the data on this subject, I you suggest to backup the data on the drive and then put it in using the NTFS file system.

I hope this helps! Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

  • How can I get Windows 7 to recognize my NAS drive as a file server?

    I just bought a new desktop computer with Windows 7 (the first time I used it at home).  I have three drives NAS; one of them is an of Maxtor Central axis.  I use the Central axis as a file server, it has Word, Excel and other Office files in addition to my music library and a handful of videos.  Whenever I try to open a document, say Word, Windows 7 does not show the Maxtor under my network.  It shows one of the other drives NAS (Iomega).  When I right click on the network, click "Open in a new window", I see the Maxtor drive. However when I click on it, Windows will open Windows Media Player.  I see only three songs, which aren't even mine; I think they were samples placed on the disk by an application.

    Other machines on my network (a computer laptop PC and Mac) continue to be able to see the of Maxtor Central axis.

    I can open my documents giving the fully qualified network path "\\Mca-054e16\Public", but it's a pain.  I can't map a drive letter for the drive; I just get the small circle who constantly.

    How can I get Windows 7 see Maxtor Central Axis like a file server and not only a media server?

    Thanks in advance for any help that anyone may be able to provide,

    Nolan

    Hello

    ·        How do you set up the network?

    ·        Have you used a Maxtor software?

    The Seagate knowledge base indicates that his NASwas released before the release of Windows 7. Therefore, it has not been tested in this environment and is not supported by Technical Support. http://Seagate.custkb.com/Seagate/CRM/selfservice/search.jsp?docid=211931&NewLang=en&HiLite=Maxtor+central+axis+Windows7#note

  • How can I configure a new TimeCapsule for an existing network without having to activate the internal networks?

    I tried to go in advance and choose "Add TimeCapsule to the existing network", but it keeps defaulting to 'add a new network '.

    without having to activate the internal networks?

    "Add TimeCapsule to the existing network.

    You cannot add a TC in an existing network, if there is.

    You must configure the TC for the network.

    It keeps default back to "add a new network.

    So, it's OK... The TC is part of an existing network or makes a new.

    You must connect to the TC network... either wireless or ethernet.

    However, you can manually configure the TC simply plug ethernet for example.

    See, cable using Time Capsule for Mac for backup only.

    The same can be done for the wireless... but a TC is really the bad device for backups if you don't have a network... It's cheaper, faster and more reliable by using a USB key.

  • How can I save a file that is larger than 2gigs without having to compress the image or reduce 16-bit to 8-bit?

    is this possible? I tried to save in a .psd file and I got a message saying it cannot save to the disk because it is bigger than 2gigs. ! I could really use some advice on saving a photo that I need to keep the highest quality for the very strong impression!

    Hi Kareen-

    This problem can lead to a lot of things but don't forget that to save a large file, you need to provide Photoshop with good use of CPU and good work record

    first try to set photoshop giving him memory: go in Edition > Preferences > Performance in memory use increase the Ps memory can store more in your ram... (what economy try closing all other efficiency programs)

    in Performance tab there is a group called "History & Cache": If your file is large itd be interesting to use as many levels of cache (maybe 8) and tile caching during about 1028 k size also affect the size of the large, flat tile

    in Scratch Disk leave photoshop now uses its temp file in all your drives for better performance

    If this doesn't work for you let me know your sys. config. and the amount of layers has your file

  • How can I get Windows 7 Pro 32 bit automatically connect to drives mapped to the startup?

    How can I get Windows 7 Pro 32 bit automatically connect to drives mapped to the startup?

    Hello

    It should connect as much as the other computers with their car are on the account users are properly configured, security passwords are defined and firewall do not block.

    If the system is only yours and there is no need of local network security, enable the guest account on all computers, give them all the permissions and there will be less to worry about connection mapped, but local drive without security.

    PS Ce preceding is based on cable connections. If the connections are wireless, it's another story.

    Due to the maturity of the wireless adapter and their support through the OS, automatic connection could not occur.

    Wireless is great, but most of us try to sneak out of it the uses it was not designed for.

    None of the normal mechanisms to create an application to be the application by DEFAULT for the. Type of HTML file seems to work...

    Extremely irritating.

    Here's another option to open an HTML element or any DW-compatible file with a right click.

    1. find a shortcut to your executable file (the file that launches DW), DW

    2 copy the shortcut into your SendTo folder located here:

    C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Window s\SendTo

    You can now right click on an HTML file and select 'send to"and"Dreamweaver".

    to open it.
