IdeaPad Y450 problem with an external hard drive

Whenever I start to start windows 7, I have to disconnect WD mybook from my laptop each time otherwise it will just pass through the bios screen and then enter halt (black screen with cursor blinking...), if I happen to forget unplug the hd, I just disconnect and then reconnect again when windows 7 starts after that pass this black screen.

For now, I have a problem with my window of simetimes HD can not see the hd even if the hd mybook bright light flashes, so I think that it might be linked to this old problem that I neglect for 4-5 months

solutions or suggestions would be really appreciated! Thank you...

Press f2 to load bios mode and set to factory settings.

(or just defined order of bios - hard drive - second dvd-...)

  • Windows 7 and problems with my external hard drives

    I have 2 Lacie (Big Disk Extreme) 1 TB external hard drive attached to my desktop system.

    When I press the Start button and go to devices and printers, the "yellow icons exclamation point warning" are located next to each external hard drive icon.

    Right click on each hard drive icon and going to solve problems, I learned that for each hard drive drivers are missing.

    When I let Windows 7 try 'Apply this difficulty', it is failed every time.  It is said that it cannot search the drivers of these drives.

    Go directly to the site Lacie, there are no drivers to download for these external hard drives (which are around 18 months of age).

    What gives?  How can I get Windows 7 to stop warning me of these external hard drives?  I don't remember having to download all the drivers for these external hard drives when I was with Windows Vista.

    Help!

    Try this...  I found a solution now using Partition Wizard Home Edition 4.2, - its free, then open it to find readers and by assigning a different letter on the external drive - Bingo... applying the changes the disk with the icon is displayed in the pane of the computer and I am able to open the drive!

  • Satellite Z930 - suspend the problem with connected USB hard drive

    Hello

    Owner of a newly acquired Satellite Z930-15 X, I have a few questions/problems:

    1) suspends the work of RAM and good hibernation when there is no external hard drive connected. If there is one is connected, the laptop immediately returns back to suspend state. Is there a solution for this?

    (2) is there a way to selectively disable Bluetooth? Currently, only toggle airplane mode is available (with Fn + F8 or Windows 8 charm bar). This activates / deactivates the Wi - Fi or Bluetooth I think.

    (3) the portable computer is wobbly on reception. I put a bit of thin paper at the corner of a bottom (bottom left) so that it can be stabilized. Apparently, the problem is also mentioned in another thread. Is there a suggestion to fhix this problem?

    Thank you.

    1 / what HARD drive is connected to your laptop? When I use the external 2.5 HARD drive with my Satellite U940 I n t have problem.

    2 / I ve tested it on my machine and I noticed the same thing. When WIFI is disabled software BT is off too. I didn t find a way how to separately control adapter WLAN and BT.

    3 / I think that this issue needs to be clarified with Toshiba service. They must check and perhaps exchange rubbers inside.

  • Performance issue with an external HARD drive

    Hi all

    I wish you all a happy new year and good luck for 2008

    I have a performance problem with a HARD drive: 3.5 inch USB 2.0 HDD with Alu - case. (320 GB of capacity)
    The average copy files is about 470 KB/Sec.

    When I connect the external HARD drive to my laptop (for any USB port), I have a ToolTip message: "this device can perform faster - this USB device can be faster if you connect it to a USB 2.0 port. I can assure you, my computer laptop USB USB 2.0 port.

    I conneted my drive external HARD to both PC and I have the same ToolTip message: "this device can perform faster - this USB device can be faster if you connect it to a USB 2.0 port.

    Is this problem known to you?
    I think the problem is in the firmware of the external HARD drive.

    + Other ++ information: +.

    + OS: Windows XP Pro SP2 +.
    + USB port all tested are USB 2.0 +.
    + HARD drive divided on 4 logical drives.
    + Antivirus: Symantec. I had test with and without my antivirus. +
    + I have had this problem for 3 weeks and before that I had no problem. +

    Thanks in advance & best regards,

    Hello

    I got the same info after the connection of a digital camera.
    The same message appears in the taskbar. I simply disbled this message;
    In Device Manager, click the USB host controller, click the Advanced tab, and then check the box at the bottom of the window that says don't tell me about USB errors.

    You must do this for each USB controller listed under USB in Device Manager, so that the error message no no matter which controller is used.

    I goggled for this + this device can perform faster + and got many successes. It seems that this is not a hardware problem, but simply a problem of operating system software

    That s all I can suggest

  • How can I change the icon associated with an external hard drive that is displayed in my computer

    When I double click the icon my computer on my Seagate external desktop hard drive does not display the correct icon. It displays a blank page with the upper right handed with a superimposed replica of a small screen.  I really want to show an icon that looks like the real thing as stated in the icons folder.

  • create the dual boot with an external hard drive

    I want to create dual boot laptop (OS 2 in 1) in my laptop, but my internal hard drive reach maximum (3) logical partition for my windows operating system 7 is not allow me to create a new logical partition install win8 pro. I've planed to buy an external hard drive and connect with my laptop and install win8 in external hard drive and use win8 and 7. Is it possible? If possible how to create? Please give me instructions step by step.

    Hi Karthik,

    If your hard drive has enough free disk space, you can install a newer version of Windows on a separate partition and keep the earlier version of Windows on your computer. It's called a multiboot or dual-boot configuration. Every time that you start your computer, you can choose which version of Windows to run. You can also install Windows 8 on an external hard drive and use it to dual boot.

    You can see the Microsoft article below for more information about this.

  • Problem of macOS / external hard drive

    My external hard drive (Seagate Portable) went wonky after update of my MacBook Pro for macOS Sierra.

    I did some research and I've followed all the advice - nothing helped.

    ・It is not in the Finder.

    ・It is listed in "Disk utility", but I can't do anything with him - like mounting the drive.

    ・ "Disk utility", says that the Seagate drive is completely full - but I know for sure that's not true - it was about a quarter full and has only a few months.

    ・i reset the PRAM & SMC on Mac

    Try to update the Paragon NTFS driver. You can find the updated version on the Seagate support site at:

  • I've just backed up with an external hard drive for the first time, but my profile with my folders for photos, documents, and movies are not there

    Hello

    So, I finally got an external hard drive. I formatted for Mac (the device has been verified as being correct), and then he started to do a backup, which stated that a full backup would take 95GB. However, it only supported 19GB.  When I have my 'open' backup drive, I saw that only 'Macintosh HD' received support upward, not my user profile with all my folders containing documents, photos, movies, etc...

    I'm quite confused, because I thought that it would save.  I plan on Snow Leopard update to El Capitan, but if something is wrong or I don't like, I'm afraid that I won't be able to restore all my personal files - but only the applications that are on my Macintosh HD.

    Should I delete everything in my backup disk and try again?

    This is an image of what's inside my external hard drive:

    You have not indicated how you have saved, if you've used Time Machine then you do things the hard way and you'll find very difficult TM. Please use the Time Machine interface to locate your saved data. You can benefit from the research on:
