I removed material without using the icon remove and now it has a problem...

I have a usb external drive that I use for back ups etc, it worked fine on my laptop to start, but now it is recognized by windows but I can't access it, it just continues to display the message "you can safely remove the hardware" and the icon. I know I deleted and it is plugged at least 4 or 5 times without clicking the icon ooops remove, I guess this begs the question, suggestions on how to make it accessible again please?

Hello Steve,.

Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

  1. Do you have an error message when you connect the device? If YES, what is the exact and complete error message?
  2. What is brand and model your external hard drive?
The issue may be with the USB port or USB support. To verify that I want to suggest the following steps:

Method 1:

Try to run the next FixIt and check if the problem persists.

Method 2:

If the USB device is not recognized, you can give a try to the procedure described in the following article:

Method 3:

Show hidden devices then remove the gray entered in the Device Manager.

  1. Unplug your external hard drive.
  2. Go to Start, click all programs and open the Accessories.
  3. Right-click on command prompt in the list programs, and then select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, click OK, or alternatively, click Yes.
  4. In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
    Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1
  5. Open Manager devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and security, and then, under System, clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  6. Click on the option to view and select Show hidden devices.
  7. Expand all winks in the Device Manager.
  8. You will notice that several gray entered in the list of open devices. Right-click on each of a device in gray and click Uninstall.
  9. Restart your computer, connect hard drive and check if the problem persists.

Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

  • updated the macbook pro and now I have connection problems

    So we have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012) and we have recently updated to the version OS X El Capitan 10.11.5, after update, we are unable to access our connection (it might load a little before to redirect us to the login page) except for the Witch of guest account has functioned well (except he says google.com security certificate was not active yet even though she was active) for about 15 days). We took it to the Apple store where we connect our moms charged very well account however, it took much longer than normal and once finished loading he wanted that we created a new connection and sign in apple ID (according to the guy in the store of the bulk was normal after update (, but at the time we did not know he had even been updated) when we had finished making the new account he had signed us the new account and not my moms. When we arrived at the new account did not show and just my sisters once that she had recorded in then signed in to the new account that we made in the shop. Now, we managed to find all the documents in the 'users' section but all applications are gone and the new account is not visible. When we went in the settings section and saw all the users that appears is the new account.

  • How not to create a partition on an essbase server without using the domain name and the port using the MXL script?

    Hi guys,.

    We know that we can create partitions on the SERVER NAME, SERVER. AREA: PORT only and ESSBASECLUSTERN founded through the Regional service CONSOLE.

    Now my question is how to do the same to CREATE or REPLACE the PARTITION script.   By default, it's get created using SERVER. AREA: PORT only.

    Here is my script that I use to create a partion.

    CREATE or REPLACE REPLICATE one PARTITION "xxxx". "' xxxx ' AREA 'xxxxxxxx' SOURCEAREA to 'xxxx '. "' XXXX ' to 'WZ00339D' AS 'xxxxx' IDENTIFIED BY 'xxxxxxx' AREA"xxxxxx ";


    Where WZ00339D is my name of essbase server.


    Put it in the script is the following.

    WARNING - 1023052 - Partition [WZ00339D:1423 Bullseye Sales] is not valid.

    But the partition is created on essbase app - database with the SERVER. AREA: port only.

    Partition part of orphaned partitions as am I try to open the partition under the name of the SERVER not only through the SERVER. Average Doman:port.

    Partition be created under title

    [WZ00339D.DOMAIN.com:1423.App.DB]-> [WZ00339D.DOMAIN.com:1423.App.DB]

    FYI, the user id used as logins are created by using domain - they are not native users.

    Please let me know how I have to have the syntax so that I can create a partition just as I help Regional service on the name of the SERVER console only.

    Let me know I can provide more information, the entire reason to use a script to create a partition is to refresh the score by a fall and create a partition.

    Roman

    I solved this problem.

    Its very simple all my code and approach was right.

    Everything I did wrong is an active directory account to create the partition and check used a native account on EAS. If you log in with the account active directory - the partition is under the name of SERVER only.

  • Is it possible to add a hard drive to a VM running via a script or a program without using the user interface

    I'll try to ask this question clearly, but I ask that read you it carefully, because I can't do a great job of setting out clearly what I'm looking for.

    I know how to create a virtual disk in a batch file or a script.  I know how to have a running virtual machine to detect a newly added hard drive and format it in Linux, BACK, and NetWare. I do not have scripted this part, but I did it manually by adding records via the UI and then by doing the steps manually to make the operating system to detect and format the newly added drive. In each case, these steps are scriptable with the exception of the addition of the drive in the user interface.

    The only way I know to add a new hard disk to a virtual computer running is through the user interface. I don't know in a way that can contain script (for example vmrun or an API call) to make.

    I guess that maybe I can have the virtual machine to go into sleep mode and then add the HDD in the vmx file while the machine is in standby mode, then put the computer to sleep mode, although I have not tested this.

    My question is, ' can a virtual drive be added to a virtual machine running without using the user interface and without put the machine to sleep, or in other words in a script any?

  • Re: How to get Corel WinDVD without using the recovery disk?

    The update for Corel WinDVD was rather messy and because of this some owners laptop uninstalled to try to install the new software. Now, we ended up with the only possibility of an image recovery, which, in practice, means losing the software.

    Updates for the Bluetooth and wifi are also pretty messy.
    Is isn´t possible to get this software back without using the recovery disk?

    As you probably know recovery image installed on Toshiba laptops is a kind of software that includes the operating system, drivers, tools specific to Toshiba and utilities but also some additional software like antivirus or DVD player application.

    All drivers and Toshiba tools and utilities are available on the Toshiba download page, and if you want to install the version of the OS, you can download each of them.
    This additional software is not available for download. It's a kind of gift on the owner of the laptop because as the new owner, your machine must be ready to employment with full protection and opportunities to use multimedia content.

    If you don't like it, you can remove the system and use your own applications.

    Summary: this software cannot be downloaded separately and if you want to have it again, you must install original image of recovery designed for your machine.

    If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.
