I can not open external hardrive

I have an external hardive of CAVALRY. Until recently, it was OK. Now I can't open it at all on my PC when I enter in my computer, but can be downloaded on my laptop. When I try, I get an error message saying that it is unreadable or corrupted. can someone advise please.

Hi Aswan,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. What is the full error message that you receive?

Method 1

Refer to the article below and run the Fixit tool available, check if it helps.

A computer that is running Windows XP cannot detect a USB, an Apple iPod flash drive or an external hard disk drive

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/925196

Method 2

If the previous step fails, then check if the drive is detected in disk management and the drive letter is assigned.

To open disk management

(a) from the start menu, click Run.

(b) in the Open box, type diskmgmt.msc, and then click OK.

  • If I have a small Firefox page I can not open a NEW page. He let me just open a new tab on the reduced page

    If I have a small Firefox page I can not open a NEW page. He let me just open a new tab on the reduced page. I used to be able to open a new page in browser icon on my desktop, but for these last days, it won't let me. It is a desktop computer, running Windows 7. Everything is up-to-date.

    Hi Deb, it's hard for me to test it personally because I've pinned the shortcut of Firefox to the taskbar, which changes its behavior, and when I remove it, I don't fit my desktop icon. (?!)

    Anyway, as a temporary workaround solution while we sort out this point, you can use the 'Skip' list: right click on the Firefox icon in the task bar and choose 'Open a new fenΩtre' that should certainly generate a separate window and not only a new tab in the existing window. Normally works?

    Firefox has a hidden setting that you might try to change to see if it makes a difference. Normally, when you open a link in another program, it opens in a new tab in the last window of Firefox, that you used. Your what's doing? I propose changing the setting so that the link must open in a new window to see if it has an impact on this problem.

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the filter box, type or paste link.o and make a pause so that the list is filtered.

    (3) double-click the preference browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external and set its value to 2 and click OK.

    The possible values for this preference are as follows:

    -1 = follow your settings in the Options for new tabs vs new windows (default)
    3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window
    2 = open external links in a new window
    1 = open external links in the last active tab replaces the current page

    There are a few other similar named preferences, so be sure to change one that has 'external' in the name.

    Any difference?

  • Installed Flash Player 14, now I can not open a new tab

    This morning (June 11, 2014), I downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player 14 (due to a upgrade prompt) and now I can not open new tabs. Email links will open new tabs - will be so some internet links will open new tabs - but by pressing on the '+' does nothing. I tried to reinstall Flash Player. I tried to download and install a new Firefox.

    In some cases, leave Safe Mode and starting Firefox regularly works automatically (like blow off the dust).

    But more often one of your extensions must be updated or disabled in order to recover the missing functionality. Understand what extension sometimes take a bit of work.

    Try first, extension update. You can do this on the page modules. Either:

    • Command + shift + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the right side, find the "gear" button and use the check for updates.

    You can also use this page to disable extensions that could be the culprit, or click in their dialog boxes Options (if available) to see if there is a setting for this.

    A little luck?

  • I can not open the last closed tab, does not begin with the tabs

    Recently, I noticed that I can not open the last closed tab (the choice is there, but is grayed out).
    Then, during the restart, I notice that the system does not restore the tabs visited - even if this choice is made in the Options.

    I recently installed KeePass and its extension in Firefox and it seems to work (I don't actually use it often). And, recently, I had a problem where the system would resize my pages (as if I hold down the CTRL key while scrolling to me.

    Several reboots corrected this problem - but now I can't resize by pressing the Ctrl and scrolling (while holding the Ctrl key and tapping the - key will be resize the window).

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem without a complete reinstall? I have been copying my Firefox profile from one computer to another over the years and I am worried about losing my data / preferences.

    Thanks in advance!

    -John

    Uninstalled KeeFox and the problem disappeared.

    I was read and send e-mails from my netbook and desktop computer without problem. This week, on my netbook, I can only Hotmail and see the Inbox. I can not open the mail, nor can I open one of the other sections or even get to page 2 of the Inbox. There is no problem with the desktop computer. Is there something I may be changed by chance on the netbook that prevents me from using Hotmail? Thanks for any help you can give me.
