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.

    I have a Pavilion DM1 using Windows 10 (64-bit) and currently use AVG and TuneUp.  I already used Vipre with Windows 7, but found it slow things down.  From time to time I scan with Malware Bytes as it picks up issues other programs don't do that, but also seems to slow things down.

    I use Malwarebytes but I paid for the Premium version because it has real time protection. "You get 3 licenses."

  • Drive mapping: How can I get my external drive be mapped to F: (as he was once) rather than g: which is what happens when I turn on now.

    How can I get my external drive be mapped to F: (as he was once) rather than g: which is what happens when I turn on now.  I tried to unplug and power, reboot etc.  There is no F: drive connected to the computer.

    Go to start / Control Panel / administrative tools / computer management / "disk management and select external reader by clicking on it and then right-click on it and select change drive letter and paths."  It should show the letter currently assigned (G I guess).  Click the button change.  To the right will be a drop of drive letters box.  Go ahead and select F and click on OK.  That should do it. If F is not available, then it is used by the system for something else.  Check disk management to see if you can find it.  If it is not, and is not available in the list, I'm afraid, you will not be able to change until find you what is using drive letter F and remove it, or change it to something else.

    I hope this helps.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try to understand what is using F or why it is not available.

    Good luck!

    Microsoft has a huge Gallery of themes and wallpapers which you can see here:

    And you can also use your favorite search engine to find images to use also.  Just looking for pictures and when you see one that you like, right click to save it.  Later, you can go where you've saved (probably your photos or download folder) and right click any image for "(définir comme fond d'écran)."

  • How to get out the mode safe mode with msconfig.

    I'm working on my computer and need to start in safe mode. I ran the msconfig and reboot the laptop. I get to the login screen, but when I get my username and password it tells me that the user name and password is not correct. How to get out the mode safe mode with msconfig.

    When you run msconfig to get set to Safe Mode, you just activate/check the option/SafeBoot at startup. INI tab or did you do something else?

    There is some malware that if you use the/SafeBoot option, you will not be able to use your system again until you remove the switch/SafeBoot the boot.ini for you can boot normally.

    Maybe it's not your exact problem, but I will never suggest to anyone to use the option / SafeBoot never again - too risky when troubleshooting since you can always start new or will never connect again until you remove the switch/SafeBoot.

    Anywho, if that's what you have done, you can start in the XP Recovery Console and then either make a new boot.ini file containing the switch/SafeBoot or simply rename the boot.ini file, you have something like boot.ini.old if you don't have a boot.ini file (I know it seems like a weird idea).

    In a single partition configuration, XP is not even a file boot.ini to boot.  XP will complain if there is no boot.ini file, but will always start very well without one (non-believers - try it!).

    After you get booted up and logged in, you can rename boot.ini.old in boot.ini and run msconfig to remove the option/SafeBoot, and never use it again.

  • Is it possible to partition the hard drive by using software like Partition Master, install XP and an earlier version of Office on the new partition?

    Partitioning of a Windows 7 computer

    On a laptop Windows 7 HP, it is possible to partition the hard drive by using software like Partition Master, install XP and an earlier version of Office on the new partition? I know I can run Win7 XP mode, but many prefer a base XP environment. Yes, I have new copies unregistered XP and Office 2003.

    TIA,

    Besides Partition Master you can also use Windows 7 "Disk Managment" to shrink the partition of Windows 7, create a new partition of the space "unallocated", and then do a formatting NTFS "Full".

    Looking at the website of Olympus, it would appear that we do not
    There are.

    But you do not need a driver because you do not need to connect your
    camera to the computer. Just put the memory card in a card reader and
    access like this instead. I prefer to do it with my camera,
    because it is easier, faster and uses no battery in the camera.
