I can't get my flash drive to open and he tells me to reformat (which means I'm losing all my data, right?)

I have tons of data on my flashdrive kingston for the drafting of documents.  Today I put it and it does not open.  I tried on two different PCs and different ports.  Every time he is says I need to reformat.  Is it possible to get data?  Reformatting cause all data are lost?

Thank you

  • Can't get my floppy drive to save a disk error: disk is not rewritable.

    Original title: FLOPPY ERROR.

    I can't get my floppy drive to save on a disk, I get the error message saying disc one is not rewritable. I use it for embroidery

    how you're framing your question and the answer

    is a little hard to follow.

    is this correct: you have a machine that you insert a floppy disk in

    that you set up with data on a computer.

    the machine cannot write to the diskette or the computer cannot write

    on the floppy?

    or what?

  • I can't get my hard drive to recognize that I have a CD in the tray

    I can't get my hard drive to recognize that I have a CD in the tray.  I can only open and view those that I already copied. Why?

    There are a number of possibilities here.

    1. assuming you have tried several different blank CD (if you are fairly confident that the problem is not the media), it is possible that the laser "burning" the recordable CD is dead. Because this isn't the same laser that reads the CD, you can always read but not write.  If this is the case, the only solution is to buy a new CD player (not expensive).

    2. your CD drive (E :) shows when you click on my computer?  I think it does, or you did that you can open and view copies of files, you have already copied to other CD.

    3. open Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK)

    • Expand the category of CD-ROM/DVD-ROM readers by clicking on the + sign to the left
    • Y at - it a warning next to the entrance icon?
    • Double-click the entry for your CD player
    1. That said under the "device status".
    2. What would you say (at the bottom) under "use of the device.
    • Close the Properties window and Device Manager

    4. open my computer, right-click on the icon for your CD drive and select Properties

    • Is there a tab "recording"?
    • If there is a 'Recording' tab, click on it.  Is the box to "Enable the writing of CD on this drive" checked or unchecked?  (Do not change at this stage)

    I'm not very familiar with Media Center Edition.  In the past, when you copy files to a CD, how did you do?  You just drag files to the letter of the CD-ROM drive in Windows Explorer, or did you have to open an app?  If the latter, what application you use to copy files to a CD.

  • 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!

    Hello

    So it does not start from the disc, but when you get to the part where it asks me to choose a disk to install Windows, you do not see something here, is that correct? Go to the menu of the Bios (tap button "F2" at startup to access the Bios), then Advanced and check what you show for the SATA/operating Mode option.

  • How can I get a twain driver for CS5 for Windows 7?

    How can I get a twain driver for CS5 for Windows 7?

    Since you have photoshop cs5 in the x 86 program files, then you have the 32 and 64 bit versions of photoshop cs5 installed.

    the 64-bit version of photoshop cs5 is in

    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 bit)

    and the 32-bit version is in

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5



    If you have not changed anything in the menu programs, while two versions of photoshop cs5 should be included under Start > all programs



    Photoshop CS5 is the 32-bit version


    Photoshop CS5 (64 bit) is the 64-bit version


    You put the Twain plugin in Win32 folder from the link listed in the #1 message in the Photoshop CS5 32 bit Plug-Ins > import file

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Import-Export

    TWAIN plug-ins | Photoshop CS4, CS5, CS6

    VueScan that mentions Ronald Keller is also a good option if you do not want to be restricted to the use of the 32-bit version of photoshop cs5 to scan in photoshop.


    Scanner VueScan for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux software



    Photoshop cs5 should also be able to use WIA support for your scanner.

    It would be under the file > importantmenu t in photoshop cs5 after you have your scanner is connected and turned on
