  • How can I prevent Windows Update to write data to my external HARD drive

    I have Windows XP running on a controller NI PXI-8106. On this same controller, I have two mapped drives.
    1 C drive where Windows is installed
    2-external SATA drive mounted in RAID0 used to save sensitive data in our application.

    We discovered that Windows update has written files to disk external DRIVE instead of the local drive as we would expected. What could I do to prevent this. It is very important for us, given that the RAID0 data should not be upset by any means. We cannot update Windows to write outside of the C: drive.

    I look on various forums and it seems that I'm not the only one in this situation where Windows Update writes data to an external HARD drive, but I have not seen anywhere a solution to avoid this, in addition to unmaping the drive.

    During the installation of updates, Windows Update downloads the installers (only) for updates to the drive with free space available. You can either disconnect the external drive when you need and/or free up space on, for example, your boot drive.

    I use windows xp svc pack 3. some how it gets corrupted now and all my important data is in the folder my documents on my desk. I got my account with a password. I tried to repair my widows through the recovery console, but I was unable to open a session in my Windows through this procedure just stuck computer is there. even when I tried to fix it through the installation of windows, Setup also stuck on the step where it says "in search for earlier versions of windows."

    If you have an administrator password in windows, then the recovery console would need in order to log in the disk system, i.e. the c prompt.
     
    If you tried to do a repair with the cd, then it may not have worked if your cd is the sp2 version of windows on your computer has been updated to sp3 version.  for the sp2 of xp cd works, you will need to uninstall the update to sp3 via Add/Remove programs.
     
    so, now that you have enslaved the hard drive on another computer, you will need to do is try to take ownership of the files/folders:

    How can I do a disk Government cleanup using vista on a hard drive that I sell?

    The above is very good.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    OR for a Vista reinstall:

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive.

    Did you move the iPhoto library for the external hard drive or the iPhoto application, or both?

    How is formatted the external hard drive? Is the file system on the drive Mac OS extended (journaled) or other system files?  Is the drive directly connected by USB or similar, or is it a SIN?

    IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times.

    I don't understand - if you force quit smoking, launches the application, or you can not force it quit?

    What version of iPhoto does? And what version of Mac OS X?

    Save your photos on external hard drive, you have two options - just save the INDIVIDUAL photos or save the photo library.

    It would be better to copy your photo library on disk. This way you will save the versions published with all the metadata that you added and the original images in the quality is.

    If you export photos you need to make your choice, if you want to export the edited versions or the original versions, or both.

    • To save the library, do it just from the pictures on the external drive folder.
    • To save the individual photos, open one of your albums, then select all photos with ⌘A, then use the command "file > export > export... photos ' and select one a high-quality format t the original size. Do this for all the photos. Check if the export went well, before you delete photos from the library.  To remove photos from an album using the ⌘⌫ key combination command + DELETE.

    Empty the recently deleted album only after that you convinced yourself that the exported photos are OK and you have a backup.

    Thanks John

    I suggest avoid you the Windows backup program and you get a good commercial backup program. This forum meets for a windows problem reports. I know that I was very impressed when I tried it. Two, I'm familiar with and like Norton Ghost (which I use for 7 years without the 1st problem), and Memeo, which has a 30 day free trial and you can buy it for $29.99 - you can download it from

    http://memeo.com . You can get Ghost for almost nothing (like me), if you look at the sales.

    CNET has a lot of reviews of backup program to

    Some of them are free (the last time I checked there over 300), some have free trials (more), and some are buying only (more than 200).

  • External hard drive will not mount after the update of the Sierra

    Hi, I have an a Segate 1 TB external hard drive that I have with my MacBook Air. After upgrading to Mac OS Sierra, he refused to climb and is therefore invisible in the Finder. Disk utility detects the drive in NTFS initialized and said that all the space has been used. I tried to mount it first through disk utility, but it did nothing. Then I tried via terminal, but he returns "failed to mount. It worked fine before and also works very well on a MacBook Pro running Yosemite. It may be nothing to do with the player, as all files are intact when it is connected to the other Mac. Also, I restarted in Mac utilities and run from there disk utility, and it detected the drive, mounted and fully initialized, with the right amount of space being exhausted.

    I am looking for a solution that does not copy the files off and reformatting if possible, but I'll give it a go, if it comes to that. Thank you very much.

    Most likely your Seagate drivers are not updated.

    NTFS is most likely the culprit here.

    Go to the Seagate site and download and install the latest drivers for your drive and NTFS.

    I have a DVD of a television show and you want to send content to a person. How can I do this?

    May depend on what e-mail program you use as to whether the mail link to send to is available

    In basic terms, you copy the entire dvd through Explorer to a temporary location, then attach this file to the email.

    But if the dvd is DRM locked the other party isn't able to play.

    Then of course, theres the file size of attachment to consider and if yours or the recipients mail provider has size limitations
