  This external hard drive works on other systems?

  The drive will appear in the top of the disk management window?  If so, look at the column layout, Type, file system and status.  The "file system" must be FAT or NTFS.  From your description, it appears that Windows does not recognize the partition as being to the format in a way that he can use.  You may need to delete the existing partition (attention: this will remove all files that may exist on the disk), and then create a new partition in FAT32 or NTFS format.  Advice to do this, right-click the disk, choose 'Help', then go to:
  -> How To disk management...-> manage the volumes of base-> Delete, Create, or Format.

• I can't boot my system when I have an external hard drive connected.

  Start with an external hard drive

  Recently, I buy a WD MY Book Essential 1 TB external hard drive. I can't the computer to boot while the hard drive is connected.
  The Gateway logo appears; If the My Book Essential is connected the computer won't go any further.
  IF the My Book Essential is unplugged, by physically unplugging the cable power supply or where the USB 3.0 cable the system starts right in windows.
  WD technology say to disconnect the drive when I stopped and when I start taking the computer to the external hard drive. For me, it makes no sense, there must be a better way.

  Thanks for your help

  You will probably find that the boot (or words like that) USB devices are listed as 1st in the boot order.

  Replace the hard drive to be 1st in the boot order.

  I wish I could plug cloned this external USB hard drive with XP on it and use it with the computer that has Windows 7 installed on it.  Now Windows 7 is need to be installed on the computer and I have a choice of 32-bit or 64-bit when I re-install.   It helps to use 32-bit on WIndows 7?

  Can someone give me pointers on how to accomplish this arrangement dualboot?

• I have an external optical drive, but it does allow me to play my DVD because I need to download a decoder. Where can I get the free download decoder so I can playback on player Win medial?

  Yes, I own the optical drive SDRW and manages my music tasks perfectly.  But it does not play DVD because I do not have a decoder installed.

  It will only allow me to windows Media Player and that where it ends.  I have a HP Mini as a portable laptop, I had to purchase an external optical drive.  I am a satisfied customer and would like to get a decoder free download because I use many Windows applications.

  Thank you

• Have icons on the desktop that are now shortened mode and can not change them or delete them.

  I have icons on my desktop which are now using the shortcut.  I can't remove the stay of icons on the desktop and you can not click on them, and I can't seem to change their return.  How can I fix it?

  Hello

  Try a reboot.

  A simple change of name should do the trick, unless of course you use a utility that blocks the efforts.
