• Laptop running Windows 7 does not start if the external hard drive is connected

  I know what is already on a thread, but here it is again (i.e. thread became uncontrollable anyway and did not offer me solutions). I have an ASUS K53S laptop computer Series and use it as a desktop PC. It sits on my desk and never move, I plugged my larger screen, a keyboard and mouse, printer and external hard drive that I keep all my information on i rarely save to local disk. These things represent more than ports USB to the laptop, I have a hub 4 ports on there also. It is just background information; I mean, the laptop is a must.

  Here's the problem: when I start, as I do every morning, I used to see ASUS inspire Innovation - first of all, persistent Perfection for about 1 second, then the laptop will just get on the job and complete its start-up in about a minute (including login). Which was very good until a few days ago when things started slows down a bit, then I rebooted as I always used to with my Windows XP tour. All closed but return is reactivated and it hung on the opening screen of ASUS and show no signs of getting further. I went outside and continued on another work that does not need a computer, thinking that if I ignored it it would be bit go further, but I came back hours later to find that it is always locked.
  Well after a little, I took the plug my external hard drive, and he continued to start where he left off, like nothing had happened.
  This settled this possibility, but before that, I had established a thing; I need to connect my external hard drive before starting, otherwise it wouldn't connect properly.
  When I managed to finally get both going at the same time (Yes, after some persistence, he recognized the drive but I still would like a solution to this when it exists), I looked at the hard drive and all my files are corrupted or something. photos are not valid, some files that I know to have files in appear them as empty and I can't make any sense at all. Is there someone out there who has had this problem before and fixed, and if so, how?
  My external hard drive is a Seagate 1 TB, if it helps.
  I really want an answer to this, I have data on that disc that I need and I'm not.

  If the problem affects only one PC it says its something specific to this PC.

  Is there traces of yellow warning in Device Manager?

  At whatever it is updated / installed on this PC before this problem, or run a maintenance utility?

  If there is no warning of the Device Manager, then if you perform a clean boot PC http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 NB this isn't the manual method the Fixit which helps?

• Can I have macbook start up from my external hard drive instead of the internal HD of the laptop?

  I use a macbook air 2014 model and would like to know if I can boot the mac from an external hard drive rather than the inside. The reason to do this is to save space on the laptop and updates can be installed directly on the external hard drive.

  Is this possible? Forgive me, because I'm not that tech savvy. Thank you in advance!

  Yes. Install or clone of Mac OS X on it and then select it in the pane of the system preferences Startup disk.

• Computer laptop (Vista) does not take account any new working USB external hard drive

  Hello, I'm under the latest version of Windows Vista Edition Home Premium on a Dell XPS M1210 and spin in the problems with the connection of my second USB external hard drive. In other words, when I plug the drive (a Seagate expansion 1 TB), nothing happens. Literally nothing, no notification of installation of the driver, no sound is played stating that the system recognized the device, no new entry in post working or disk management. I connected this drive on another computer running Windows 7 and it worked without a problem, so I do not suspect the problem to lie in the hard drive, but with my computer. My other external hard drive USB, a Maxtor Basics Portable 250 GB, works perfectly, but there more than two years. I bought the 1 TB Seagate as a backup and an upgrade, but I plan to go back now that there is nothing more than a big black Clipboard with a green LED clear too much room. What can I do about it?

  Hello
   
  Most likely, there is not enough power for the USB port of your machine to the external device do recognize. As a test I would have you test the issue on another USB plug.
   
  I recommend you contact you either OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or the manufacturer of the motherboard if it is a machine of casting House and get the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard.

  Here's what's happening this laptop, I bought the other day who has no internal hard drive. How can I boot my laptop without a hard drive?

I don't think I can get on my hard drive they screw appeared to be hitting something I can get loose but not outside.

  AY info would be great thank you

  Extremely difficult to boot Windows XP from a disk usb external hard and will be extremely slow to use. Instructions to link here , but it seems to be down at the moment.

  Impossible for Vista or Windows 7 that I know.

  Screws for the cover of the hard drive come all the way, they stay with the cover, after loosening them that coverage will pop out.

• Installed new hard drive on laptop with Windows 7 can install Windows XP on external hard drive and plug it into USB?

  Original title: Win7 Pro + HD Ext different OS
  I just installed a new hard drive in my laptop with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.
  Would it not be possible to install WIn XP or Win 98 + older software (Win 98 or XP) on an external hard drive, then plug it into USB, laptop, in order to run old programs of 16-32 bit?

  It would be best to run Windows 98 or XP in a Virtual Machine, if you need to run older programs.

  You can use a free software such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMware Player:

• NB200 laptop cannot boot from USB CD/DVD drive / blinking cursor

  I have a toshiba nb200 - 11L, a little less than 2 years (no guarantee!). Recently, it has developed a problem that prevented him from starting the system and all that happens is I have a flashing cursor in the upper left corner of a black screen. The partitions of the options only are F2 and F12, but these will not allow me to enter in safe mode or use the toshiba recovery option.

  I bought the toshiba on cd rom recovery disk in order to complete a re - install but the bios displays only the HARD drive and floppy drive as an option and it doesn't seem to be any way to add new options.

  I checked the hard drive that seems to be ok. I fear that the problem may be the motherboard that I think will make any repair uneconomic.

  Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

  Thank you. Keith

  What operating system is currently on it?

  For the Pavilion X 2, you say that the media authoring tool does not recognize your USB, correct?

  What brand and size is the drive?    It's a Sandisk drive by chance?

• HP Pavilion x 2 2 - i - 1-10-n080no: HP Pavilion 2 2 - i - 1-10-n080no x do not boot from usb

  Hello!

  My new HP Pavilion 2 2 - i - 1 10 x - n080no could not upgrade to win 8.1 to win 10 and it does not allow me to upgrade by booting from a usb key or cd.

  I disabled it secured from the bios boot and I put a usb boot first in the list, but he continues to be ignored.

  I even tried with a 64-bit (l) ubuntu cd and usb, but neither their startup.

  Y at - it * all * way to get this tablet to boot from a usb device?

  Grateful for any suggestions.

  OH ok. Yes, I use Microsoft Media creation tool.

  The bios will recognize without problem.

  Don't forget to upgrade, install not the device.

  You can clean install later, after the initial upgrade has been registered in the database of Microsoft.

  If the Windows 8.1 will again open, run the tool of creation of media from the desktop of 8.1.

  BUT, first run the Windows Disk Cleanup tool and then run the tool.

  IF Windows is not running, then you need to use the USB method.

• Need to receive a disk for the USB external hard drive

  I made a disk image of my C drive on a Windows 7 computer.  I restored this image on a larger drive that I installed in the place and place the image drive.  I installed the image drive (old c) in a usb enclosure and connected to the computer.  It does not appear in the disk as a letter volume manager.  It appears however as disc 3.  When I run DiskPart and check the id, it has the same id as the new C: drive but I can't change it.  Any suggestions on my situation would be appreciated.

  Original title: problem with USB

  Hi Gordon,.

  This problem occurs when the drive letter is not assigned to the player. Windows typically assigns a letter of the alphabet to most readers. We will try to assign the letter drive manually. You can assign any letter to a drive too long that the letter is not already used by another reader.

  I suggest you to assign the drive letter to the USB drive and check if it helps.

  Check out the link:

• Need help to avoid data loss on a corrupt and/or failure to hard drive

  I don't know what happened. One minute I'm surfing the web and listening to music on iTunes. Then out of nowhere he had a sudden failure. Changed not long at all, but now when I try to turn on my computer, it starts normally but then shortly after that the chime and the apple logo appear, if a progress indicator yet that I've never seen before today. Until the progress bar is still the size of my little finger nail, the computer turns off just. I started in recovery mode and run disk check and repair utility. Make sure the disc is not far off when he said something like - disc cannot be checked completely. Disk needs to be repaired. So when I click on the repair disk, it works only for maybe a minute before it comes up saying - utility disk can't repair the disk. Upwards from your many possible files, reformat the drive and restore your backed up files. So obviously it's not good. What are my options and can I do to avoid losing data that is not already saved? I have a lot of things that have not been backed up and lose some of them would be pretty damning. That's my main goal; data loss as little as possible. My computer is an iMac 2012 end Mavericks 10.9.5 running.

  Thank you.

  You do not have a current backup? If this is not the case, your only real option may be to pay a data recovery company and see if they can help you. Which can be very expensive.

• Editing photos on an external hard drive using two different computers - a laptop computer and a desktop computer

  Hi, I have all my photos on an external drive. I want to change my photos on my desktop at home and then to be able to work on my laptop when on mobile. My catalog is stored on my external hard drive. But the changes that I did for the photos on my laptop do not seem to have been recorded on my external hard drive when I watched tonight on lightroom on my desk.

  The file that I watched tonight is a native import of original photography don't not presenting the any fixtures that I made earlier today.

  Any suggestions on where I'm wrong.

  Hi juliew,

  The adjustments you make in Lightroom are stored in the catalog itself. It makes no changes directly with the original files.

  For example, you won't find any changes on the original images.

  If you are not able to see editing in Lightroom itself, please make sure that you opened the same catalog from the external hard drive on both computers.

  I hope this helps.
