    I do not use homegroups, but 'true' to share, so I don't know how this is supposed to work with homegroups. But usually he should share a drive or folder, first before you can access it from another machine. (for example, click on the drive/folder properties and go to the sharing tab)

  • I'll be able to use the external dvd drive on microsoft surface?

    I like really the surface so far and I was wondering if I'll be able to use an external dvd drive on the surface because there only 1 usb port.

    Yes.

    You can attach an external USB hub or port replicator and connect USB devices to one. And, if connected to the network, you can use the DVD player on any other computer network with any active permissinns and sharing.

  • Cannot use disk utility to create the partition of the free space on the external USB drive.

    I have a red 3 TB Western Digital drive in a USB hard drive docking station.

    The reader is GPT, and I have two volumes on it (a single volume is "Microsoft reserved", another volume is NTFS).

    The other part of my drive is 1.5 TB of free space. I want to create a new partition with free space so that I can put backups Time Machine encrypted external hard disk.

    I checked free space on the drive with my Windows machine:

    
    DISKPART> list disk
    
    Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
    
    -------- ------------- ------- ------- --- --- 
    
    Disk 0 Online 167 GB 20 GB
    
    Disk 1 Online 465 GB 0 B *
    
    Disk 2 Online 2794 GB 1526 GB *
    
    DISKPART> select disk 2
    
    Disk 2 is now the selected disk.
    
    DISKPART> list part

    DISKPART>
    

    DiskPart displays 2 partitions - a 128 MB and the other GB 1267 with 1526 MB of free space.

    I took the hard drive of my MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 and pulled towards the high disk utility, but for some reason, that it does not resemble the disk utility it is to see the free space, so I can't create a new volume.

    Here are a few screenshots:

    ... of the physical disk in disk utility (notice how it doesn't seem be all unallocated space on the disk to create a new volume):

    ... of the NTFS volume in disk utility:

    ... of information for the drive in disk utility:

    I'm a new Mac user. My company recently gave me a Mac, so the first thing I want to do is to create a new partition on this external USB drive to put backups Time Machine figures on it.

    In the research I did find a way to do it on a mac computer without erasing the drive and starting over. But you can go to your windows computer and partition the free space of disks. Then use the mac to set the free space as mac os extended journaled. Here's what I found. http://www.PCWorld.com/article/2066191/how-to-partition-a-hard-drive.html the only other way would be to copy the file on the external drive, somewhere, so you can delete it and re partition for windows and mac. Then reinstall windows files. I'm not familiar with windows systems.

  • Disable the external USB drive autoplay function? Windows 7 Pro.

    I have two external USB drives connected to my computer. Whenever I start, an AutoPlay window will appear for each reader, asking me what I want to do with it. It gives 2 choices "Open folder to view files", or "View more AutoPlay options in the Panel". If I choose to view more AutoPlay options, my USB keys do not appear at the bottom of the AutoPlay under devices. I want to continue to use AutoPlay for my CD/DVD players, but I want to stop AutoPlay Windows popping up whenever I start the computer. It's frustrating to have to click the X on both of these windows, whenever I start the computer.

    Any suggestions?

  • Could not access the external hard drive on the WRT610N

    I recently bought the WRT610N router and updated the firmware version 1.00.02 B10 on it. I also have a 500 GB WD Caviar Green hard drive in an external enclosure to Koutech EEC320. I wanted to connect my HD in a configuration server network via the USB port on the router.

    The first time I hooked it up, everything worked for the most part very well: I could go to the tab of storage on the utility line of router, put in place actions and other things. The problem was that I could not really give administrator rights to access the actions I put in place on the hard drive, so I couldn't change the files or anything like that. I would try to put in place the administrative privileges in the sharing settings, but they would never appear in the summaries of the part. I even tried to change the share name of the 'Default' which appears at random at one time, but this caused the group to disappear her privileges, and the 'failure' share to disappear (although the usefulness of reserves still the name for him) which means I can't do another flaw).

    I have reset the router to try to get the sharing by default return, but now whenever I try to access the storage in the router utility tab, I get a blank screen, so I can't recreate all the actions on my HD Plus, every tab I try to access after the who end up in a screen blank until I restart my browser where all is well until I try to access the store again. This happens even after resetting the router several times and even reinstall the firmware once.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem in order to access and edit files on my hard drive through my network?

    Yay! I got 'Default' on my HD! Now, it would be great if I could add permissions to actions so I can add more readers...

    What are the requirements of a USB drive to be recognized by the TV?

    I tried two now, which are visible on television to show the media, but are recognized by the TV to be used as USB recording space.

    You are talking about a TV, but no one knows which TV camera, you mean if you n t provide any information about the model.

    However, this information should always be available in the TV s manual.
    Most importantly, you will find also information that it s not guaranteed to work with all USB HDD.

  • Detection of the external USB drive mounting

    We have a system running (currently) on the cRIO-9014 controllers. They run headless and unsupervised for long periods of time and periodic journal (~ 1-2 hours between Scriptures) data set in the local SSD on the controller. Occasionally, a person in the field will connect a USB thumbdrive to the controller. Without other intervention on the part of the technician on the field, I want to empty the data files since the last visit on the disk.

    Ideally, I was hoping to find that plug in a USB key would argue an IRQ or some system events? The only other way I can think of is to periodically read the root on any drive is mapped to the USB and if it mistakes, I know there is no USB stick attached, but this sounds... gross. Is there a better way to do it?

    Thank you

    Q

    Sorry for the resurrection of thread but I wanted to document a potential pit fall to warn everyone else having to enumerate/detect a USB on a real-time target:

    The solution posted by Patricia B has the disadvantage of also return 0 if the memory stick has been recently formatted (for example, it is empty) since the return of the 'size' will return the number of files/folders and not the size of the stick if the input path is a directory. Now, if instead of that, you use the error state as your cheque you would be all good.

    Where I was wrong was when I thought to myself, well, why not use the 'get Volume Info.vi' instead (also in the advanced file palette. This way I get the size of the volume, so potentially I could check if I have enough free space before I start my routine of dump file. It worked swell, but there is a documented problem (internally at OR) (bug) with the "get Volume Info.vi:

    IF the error in this VI INPUT Terminal is connected AND that the function returns an error (which it will do if a USB key is not present), then it will be a memory leak. If you use it in a method of voting (e.g. once per second) on a cRIO, you miss of contiguous memory within a few days (depending on your poll rate and how much activity allocation and the deallocation of memory you past.) This allows for a pesky hard to find the problem of stability in the long term you can't miss easily unless you do really detailed memory monitors during the days of execution before you deploy your code...

    The solution is to NOT connect the error to this VI input terminal and the leak memory goes.

    Hope this helps others avoid trouble!

  • Windows 8 cannot connect to the external hard drive after you have added the drive case.

    Original title: I have my hard drive from my previous PC attached to my new PC with windows 8. My old PC had XP. How to access the external hard drive?

    I had problems with my XP operating system and could not transfer all the files to my new PC. I spoke with Dell who I believe created the problem with software support. I was told to get out the hard drive, buy a hard drive enclosure and get my files from there. I can't find the hard drive.

    Hello

    Thank you for the update.

    Given that the problem occurs when the hard drive is connected to a different USB port or another computer, it is probably related to the connection of the hard disk.

    Method 1: check if the problem occurs in another computer after removing the hard disk enclosure.

    Method 2:

     

    Step 1: Check if the hard drive is detected in Windows Explorer.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    a. connect the hard disk of the computer.

    b. press the Windows key + E to open Windows Explorer.

    c. check if the hard drive is present here.

    Step 2: Check if the hard drive is detected in disk management.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    a. on the desktop, press the Windows key + X , and then select disk management.

    b. check if the hard drive is listed there.

    Contact the manufacturer of the hard drive and hard drive enclosure for assistance.

  • Model of Sony BRAVIA KDL 42W700B cannot view photos and videos of the external USB hard drive!

    Hey Sony,

    I recently bought the SONY BRAVIA KDL-42W700B model (http://www.sony.co.in/product/kdl-42w700b).

    The TV is recently launched by Sony, which made me buy this model.

    But the first day itself, I came across a problem with this model. I wanted to see some of my photos and videos, so I plugged my external USB drive (320 GB). I discovered this, he can not display my photos and videos in the directory view. He picked up any random photo/video to display from the hard drive.  In the thumbnail view, I could see of 27 items which were taken at random on the hard drive, and every time I connect it to the TV, I see some photos/videos at random that did not exist on the hard drive.

    Among the Options, button, tried to switch to view folders, but it also did not help. Only a few cases were projected, and that too not in any order, a few files randomly were chosen who have entered.

    Contacted the people at the showroom where I bought this TV and discovered that the problem was with this model ONLY. This model was taking too long (waiting at least a half hour load the photos and still did not get the pictures/videos in a correct view). They tested on various models (KDL-32W700B, KLV-40R452A, KDL-50W800B) and all these models supported the correct view and order, and he was also able to load the external hard drive fast enough.

    Apart from this, the bluetooth pairing happens not on this model. It seems that there is a serious problem with this model.

    In addition, contacted the people from sony who came to the demonstration and installation of the TV. Giving random answers to format the hard drive!

    Could you please help me on this? It seems that this model of Sony is defective.

  • Our AppleTV alcoholic, if we opt for a movie / TV that was bought, we get the notice that it is "impossible to load the content. You need to restart completely to access the content you've purchased.

    We have the AppleTV (4th Gen, 64 GB). Whenever we 'wake up' the AppleTV from sleep, we are unable to access all our content purchased until we start the system. We have never had this problem until a few weeks ago. All software is up-to-date and automatically update, internet is very good, and nothing has changed since we have implemented the AppleTV. Frustrating to not be able to access the content that we have already purchased without jumping through hoops.

    Hello

    I met this time. All I did was to completely close the application TV Shows and reopened. It worked after that without needing a reboot.

    Time machine is unable to perform a backup. Not able to access the sparsebundle. First of all, there is problem with the Snow Leopard operating system. Dragon followed in the upgrade to El Capitan. Only difference was error code 109 changed to 'null '. What about someone?

    We need some info.

    You can access from the finder Time Capsule? If this isn't the case, then Time Machine will not work.

    You upgrade the computer snow to El Capo and keep the same name?

    If you want to backup, it is best to start again... clean the new backup any attempt to add a previous backup failed.

    I recommend that you actually erase the TC... do a complete factory reset and start again.

    The previous backup if necessary can be archived on a USB drive connected to the TC assuming that Airport utility can still access it. Airport utility accesses the TC?

    With update installs all sorts of things can go wrong... so tell me more if you can not get anywhere.
