• Question: How can I format external drive in exFAT? NOT in NTFS!

  OK, so frustrated that I had to go through the hedges to sign up here to ask a question like that. Why can I NOT format exFAT? I have many external HDDs that were formatted in exFAT under WIndows XP Pro but my new system, completely updated Windows 7 Professional, I can't format external drives of exFAT. The option is NOT available. In the Format window, file system, is the only option: NTFS (default), there is no other option. I googled the * on this issue and found no answer. This external hard drive MUST be formatted as a disc exFAT. Period. Someone please help.

  I'm surprised the research online increase this... You can do it from the command prompt, but not from this dialog box.  Here's how:

  -Open a command prompt by typing cmd in the start/search box, right click on the cmd search result and select "Run as Administrator"
  -Type format g: FS:exFAT , then press ENTER to start formatting the G drive as exFAT
  To view all other options, type format /? and press ENTER.

• How to use the external drive recovery with ODD?

  Hello

  I need to recover my Toshiba laptop via original Toshiba recovery dvd, but my internal dvd ram does not work, then, how I upgraded my pc to search for external dvd ram when windows starts? I followed the instructions and the C button when starting the computer, but when I press F12 boot any drive, I select my pc starts just windows...

  Thanks for your help. J. Hlavsa

  Hello

  Your laptop is old laptop model and OS can be installed using recovery media only.
  External ODD cannot be recognized as boot device and you won't be able to use it.

  See operating manuals and there you will find a list of all compatible ratings, buy one and replace.
  Replacement isn't complicated and you can do it alone.

  If you need help let us know.

• How to get an external drive officially used with a Mac to be recognized and usable with a PC running Windows 7

  I have an Iomega 500 GB external hard drive that I bought about 2 years ago I used exclusively with an iMac, until this computer crashed irreparably affordable last month.  My new computer is a HP Pavilion PC running Windows 7 and when I connect the drive I see in devices and printers that he acknowledged that an Iomega hard drive is connected to a USB port, but in the computer, it shows internal hard drive of the computer and the DVD player with their respective letter designations.  However, the external hard drive is not displayed.

  Fast disk information: I buy the player on the Apple store online in early ' 08, and when I unpacked it initially, I saw no written information not specifying that it was somehow a Mac version of this Iomega drive, there was anything about it either by declaring that use it with a Mac it format to use Mac only.   When I first plugged into the Mac, I was never invited on implementation shape or anything else specific to the Mac, actually, I was never even asked about the pilots.   To plug into it, he behaved as the USB flash drive and external 40 GB drive I have - a small orange icon appears on the desktop, with the name of the drive and the USB symbol.   So for two years, I moved the files between the player and the Mac with no problems, until now, when I try to use the drive with my current PC.

  So far it was suggested to me that makes the Mac * fact * format the drive in a way that makes Mac only, and I can't reformat because I have given, I must first of all get moved to the new computer.  Another theory is that since entering at Apple, even though it is an Iomega product, it might have been shipped with a tweak specific to Mac-maybe it was already formatted for Mac use.  A third theory advanced for me, is that it could be that the cable company somehow makes the PC is not quite completely recognize it.

  Any info would be greatly apprecitated.   Worse, I can find someone with a Mac and we can move files from the Iomega to the Mac hard drive, then the 40 GB drive which * fact * work with both types of BONE, and that several times until everything is moved safely to the new computer, then can do what I do with the Iomega is usable with the PC.

  What I find a bit confusing, it's the 40 GB has never had problems of compatibility with any computer with which I have connected.  In the course of graphic design, I've been in we have Mac and PC in the same building and that player never cared that it was connected to.

  There is a format uses Apple (don't remember what it's called...? Trip...? Journal... something like that) that Windows cannot yet see.  So once you have the files and folders saved on something like the DVD, do not format NTFS for Windows can see it.  The good thing is that Apple may also see NTFS, once it is formatted and files/folders copied on it, you will be able to use all the PC under Windows or OS.

• How to lock in scores attributed to my external drive initially in PLACE?

  Hi everyone, Date; 27/11/2015

  (This applies to all versions of Windows):

  Q: How can I lock in my external drive to be assigned scores initially implemented?

  Most of you, the users have no more scores of five or six, and some are ON an external drive or both. But when I drive letters 26 in use, it creates serious problems with external drives and their partitions. Not all readers are instantly known as being recognized in the order that I've specified only by their drive letters. Therefore, Windows XP and 7 describe HOW lock in the INTERNAL walls by putting a pagefile on them for his "help and Support". This does not work for external hard drive partitions.  As some external drives take more than time to be recognized correctly, and who lights up as being recognized, as at the time they take the lowest drive letter also sometimes are assigned on-site leaving instead of partitions out of use, these two external drives which assume to have partitions down like: M, N, O, & P; and the second disc has four following Partitions: Q, R, S & T.  And the cause, I discovered is a mounted flash drive took am ' partition and must not be assigned a drive letter at all from A to Z! Already, I KNOW how to fix this and IS not part of the answer. It becomes a nuisance on start up or come out of hibernation. I think Windows has too many defaults that can be corrected, and must be DEFINED by the USER and SAVED when he put in hibernation or go to sleep or before his stop!  So when it time to wake up, turn on or come out of hibernation, turns on THE PC because the USER has left!

  In this case, takes a drive mounted flash drive letter'm ' and the external hard drive has moved upward a letter and am the drive letter "and T do not show up in"My Computer"and the drive letter 't' is not attributed at all!" THIS upsets the boat, trying to find a folder on the drive letter M when the flash drive is not due to its small size. Windows XP is known for this problem. And the smaller Page file I can establish is 2 MB on Windows XP and Windows 7, 16 MB. WHY so with windows 7? It's 16 flippies of a data value for me. A photo or 20 of them a value. I talked to Seagate on this subject, as "is that the reader do this or not? The Tech expert says"'On Windows do as the number of partitions and the size of page file!'

  WHAT is Windows EXPLORER as to how it is poorly designed? Can you copy literally 168 GB of data ALL at ONCE with a SINGLE procedure to COPY and PASTE directly without the slightest mistake on or and stopping even a 'BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH "? It does NOT use the pagefile capacity that I put it like 100 GB? He error when the DDR memory is full! (ERROR-STOPS) And is does not clear between the procedures for copy or when the Explorer get bogged down with too many services, I find it unnecessary.

  Problem, I consider the USER can manage know what memory is, or what services are active, as they move in or out as I did that with the Commodore C-64 and C-128 copy four times what the 64 KB it is supposed to be like the 720ko all the 5¼ floppy inches, just to kick out of the BASIC interpreter , using the areas as pure 32 k RAM and using Commodore BACK to copy and paste all much faster in minutes instead of hours about. When made the copy in DOS mode, then replace the shell BASIC in paging goes, makes the most useful limited memory.

  It's the most important thing Windows is supposed to do is to: CUT, COPY, and PASTE!

• How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

  How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

  I have several laptops and iMacs. I spent the relocation of the year and only used the MacBook Pro.

  Now I'm trying to figure out which drive goes with which computer

  I connected just a disk seagate 1.5 t and the first thing he did was to ask if I wanted to use it as a Time Machine drive.

  (1) if it is the TM disk accompanying this computer don't would not it have just started upward automatically?

  (2) what happens if I would have said yes?

  (3) I don't even know if it's been activated for TM. Is there a way to tell? It may hold just for iMovie files and other programs associated with a computer from my past.

  All readers of backup Time Machine contains a folder named: Backups.backupdb. If you open this folder, you'll find another folder with the name of the computer that has been saved. If several computers have been saved on the same disk, you will have several folders.

• How to stop Windows Update by creating temporary files on my external drives?

  Any ideas on how to tell Windows Update to stay away from my external drives?

  I have several external drives I use for backup projects, archives and collections of major media. They are connected to my laptop very irregularly and rarely more than a few hours. In recent years they have been inundated with folders with long as names d84fa74b9585277339 as the seams related to Windows Update. I think it has already started on the laptop with XP I had before this one. Sometimes I see these files on the internal hard disk, but there are theyalways disappear after some time. On external drives, I have to delete manually. On an NTFS disk partition I use for backup, it's not easy, sometimes I have to take ownership of the folder. Drives FAT32 / exFAT is easy.

  I guess people who have developed Windows Update realized that you can not trust USB or eSATA connected drives to be there when the cleaning is executed (BTW when cleanup runs it?). So I must have screwed up a setting somewhere. And I have to be very consistent in this because the same thing happens with friends and relatives, I contributed to the installation of Windows 7...

  Cheers, Willem

• How can I protect my folder on the external drive?

  I don't see a clear answer to this question online. I want to protect a folder on my external hard drive which has some personal data. I have to protect the whole disc, just a folder + subfolders. I see that the 3rd party software programs box password protect a folder, but when uninstall you them you may lose the ability to access again if you aren't careful, and they aren't full evidence for someone who is computer savvy and I really want to see this data.

  I watched a video on here EFS: EFS but it is a senseless video and provided no help to understand how it works. I created a folder to the test and does what it says. The name of the folder turned green so I know he did something, and it prompted me to create a key with password and save it, which I did. However, I can always freely open that folder and see the content, so anyone who has access to my computer is able to view that as easily as any other folder. Don't ask a key or password or anything like that. No sense for me...

  I need to a single folder (and subfolders) on my drive to be protected, encrypted, whether, for other people cannot access it even if they steal my external drive and connect it to another computer. I don't understand why it is so hard to find something that can do this and how to do it.

  If you enable encryption by file (or folder) with this option, which cannot be done because it is encrypted specifically with a hash of your account.  It also means that even if a system admin force - reset your password, the hash is invalidated and files that have been encrypted in this way will be unavailable.

• How to make several records to reappear after I did accidentally one "delete" in my list of folder on an external drive?

  Help please!

  I accidentally did a right click to remove my files on an external drive. The external hard drive is in my list of files, but none of the folders that are still on it.

  The pictures are always in the folders on the drive and in their records.  I tried an import files for to displays, and LR sees all of them as existing in the catalog, so he knows about the photos.  And LR is the re not important.

  I just want the folders appear again in my list of folders on the left.

• Lightroom - how to restore backed up files (not the Lightroom Catalog) from one external drive to another?

  How to restore backed up files (not the lightroom catalog) from one external drive to another.

  I've recently saved my photo files to one external drive to another. The backup (carbon copy clone) pointed out some files corrupt on the original drive.

  I deleted these files and find good copies of Time Machine backups.

  I want to get rid of the original external drive; use the recent backup as my main outside and then save it to a new disc.

  I'm not sure how everything is point lightroom for backups so he knows look on the new drive instead of the old drive and all points of exclamation and question marks go away.

  There are close to 60 000 images in several files with a 'parent folder."

  My best guess is Lightroom Help - create and manage folders - locate missing files

  Can I point to the folder of one of their parents, and all of the subfolders will return?

  This is the process for recovering files in lightroom and there will be a problem with so many photos?
