• Configuration of USB 2 external 500 GB USB hard drive problems

  Hello gentlemen.

  I recently acquired a disk hard external 500 GB USB part number PX1269E - 1 50.
  I have some problems with the configuration of USB 2.0 in windows XP. When I connect it to a usb 2.0 port, I get the message "USB HDD high speed plugged into a hub non-hi-speed usb", and the unit remains low-speed (12 Mbps) USB. (I checked the port with an another usb 2.0 device and the port works correctly in usb 2.0 mode).
  I checked the PXI1269E - 1 50 in other PCs and I have same results. I can't make it work in USB 2.0 mode. I also have some problems with the virtual CD that is always present when you insert and mount partition. There is a way to remove it?

  I only use the hard drive for data backup every day, and I don't want to use any other drive letters in my system.

  The main PC is an ASUS P4P800-E deluxe with windows XP SP2 fully implemented to update and build in the USB 2.0 controller intel.

  Best regards

  DA P

  I have connected the 500 GB HDD (PX1269E - 1 50) to my Satellite M40 and it works fine. It works with USB 2.0.
  Guys, I think there is something wrong with the controller software or the registry is damaged. Maybe an update is necessary.

  PS: I have not installed the additional software on the supplied CD. The operating system automatically acknowledged.

  @parabolix: using SP1. Try to install whole MS and SP2 updates.

• Windows XP does not recognize Portable Toshiba external 500 GB hard drive.

  I bought a Toshiba Portable external 500 GB hard and connected to my Windows XP. My windows XP will recognize any unit. I went into my computer > management > drivers to find the drive and rename it. He wasn't there. I have Windows XP SP2, and I said that Windows XP SP3 is not compatible with this device.  I went to control panel > adding hardware > allow Research Assistant for devices not installed and it still did not.

  Any suggestions?

  In the future, please start your own thread.  It does not appear that your problem has much in common with that of the previous, other than you poster, both have a problem with an external drive.

  Open disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK)
  Your portable player should be shown here (probably as "disk 1" in the lower pane)

  

  If the disk space presents itself as "Not allocated" (as in the figure above), right-click and select "New Partition".  During the operation of the wizard, you assign a drive letter.  I suggest that your format using NTFS.  Once the disk has been partitioned, formatted, and has a drive letter, it should show in my computer.

  If the drive is already partitioned and formatted, see if you can assign a drive letter to right-clicked on.

• Imation Apollo HDD 2.5 "500 GB external hard drive

  I try to use my Apollo 2.5 HDD 500 Gb external hard drive. It is impossible to open it from my different computers. Paolo diferent cannot recognize the mentioned device. Can you please help me with this problem?

  Thanking you in advance

  Raul,

  Let's start at the beginning... Do you hear rattling noises when you connect your HD on your computer? If you have more likely your hard drive is physically damage and usually there is not an easy way to fix this. Some people have reported that changing the controller, that fixed it for them. Others have reported that, by opening the envelope and connect directly without cable who fix it for them (to actually buy a USB to IDE kit. Amazon has a lot for about $6). I don't think that the problem are the ports on your computer because you have tried on different computers. The next suspect is the cable.  Make sure the cable you connect your device to the computer working. Try it with a cable that you know works. Once you have check that and still Win can not detect your hard disk, check to see if the BIOS can detect. I don't know how you can access your BIOS on your computer, but is usually by hitting F2 or ESC or F1. Check the screen when your computer starts and yous should see a message on a button to change the BIOS or settings. Once more, when you're in the BIOS, there no way course right to know all your hard drives connected. Just look around and see if you can find it (do not change any settings here. You could make your computer unusable). If the BIOS can detect your hard drive, then it is time to do some work on the victory.
  -Click Start.
  -Type diskmgmt.mscand press ENTER.
  -See if you can find it there. Typically, your internal hard drive is described as disk 0. Your external should be disk 1.
  -Right click on it and find an option that says Create partition or Format.

  Hello

  What is big directory? Do you mean a folder or a file with many GB of disk space?

  What file system you use? NTFS or FAT32?

  In your case I format the HARD drive with the NTFS file system and test it again. It is maybe something wrong with the file system s.
  But before that, save all data from the HARD drive ;)

• External 500 GB USB HDD will not show in my computer

  I recently bought the above named product, which worked great until the other day when for some unknown reason, the drive was more on the function of my computer.

  I followed the troubleshooting tips/FAQ and this has not solved the problem. The computer recognizes that the hard drive is there, as it appears on the list of devices USB/material and under removable storage in the computer Mgt (when you right-click on my computer and select Manage), but I couldn't go in the Councils of troubleshooting/FAQ that the drive is not accessible.

  I fear that all my music (recently transferred to it) is lost forever.

  Please, someone tell me I'm wrong. Any ideas people?

  Thank you

  If all goes well it of not a hardware problem.
  Well. Have you tried to connect this drive external DRIVE on another computer?
  If this is not the case, check this box!

  In a little more, I recommend to unplug the laptop HARD drive and remove all the USB ports on the Device Manager.
  After the new reboot the operating system should recognize the USB controllers again and needs to be reinstalled USB drivers.

  After this short statement, try to connect the HARD drive to the laptop.

  I wish you good luck

• My C: space guard shrinks even with an external 500 GB of HARD drive.

  I have an older Sony desktop with XP.  I had to go back from of-the-factory-State a couple of times and start all over again, but since the last time the space on my C: drive disappeared at a rapid pace.  I put a lot of programs on external hard drive and also placed a large number of photos there as well.  No indication as to where's my free space?  I'm still learning about computers.

  I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, and place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

  You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.

  The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous. I have them would be reduced by 700 MB. Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output. When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

  A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. Setting the default value is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change. At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

  The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough. In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

  If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive. In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc. These files can be compressed or not compressed. If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue. If these files are not compressed you can compress. Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space. On the general tab, you can see the winning amount by deducting the size on disk size. File compression is only an option on an NTFS formatted disk partition / partition.

• Laptop sees no external Toshiba USB HDD 500 GB

  Hello

  my new Toshiba drive hard external 500 GB USB does not appear in the laptop with USB 2.0

  The light of the HD post OK

  Tried all USB ports three (sockets) of the laptop.
  Can you help me please?

  thanx
  Nick

  Try to use a key USB * Y * cable that allows you to connect the external HARD drive to two USB ports.
  The point is that the common USB 2.0 ports provide 500mA max power.
  That is why it s advisable to connect two USB ports to make sure that enough power would be supplied on the HARD drive.

• Failed to initialize my newly bought external HD 500 GB

  Hi all

  Just bought me a new disk 500 GB from Toshiba external hard. That I connected, following the instructions (in XP Pro), everything is fine. The system then asked the password to access the drive. In the manual they say it's fixed to '12345' by Toshiba. But when I enter it, it says it's an invalid password! So I cannot access the drive, or change the password to a new...
  Pls help, because at the moment, I can't use the HD as I wanted ;)

  Kind regards

  Ronny

  Hello

  Several weeks ago, I visited the laptop dealer and have tested the external 500 GB HARD drive.
  I was very surprised because of the access password initially. After a search on the HARD manual disc, I found this password and I was able to connect.
  I remember exactly what password string I used but as you have already said it was something with 12345.

  Unfortunately the change of password is not possible.
  There must be a bug in the software. But this information, you will also find in the HARD drive manual. Check it!
  However, I would not recommend controlled again the password and if it does not, you contact the dealer and replace

  good luck my friend

• External drive USB 500 GB PX1394E burp and more

  Since yesterday, my external 500 GB Toshiba USB drive burp more.
  The LED becomes red instead of blue when I turn it on. Needless to say that my entire CD collection is on it, so it is quite a mess.

  What are my options now?

  I bought the external drive in Germany, a little less than a year ago, model Toshiba PX1394E - 3 50.
  Stupidly, I can't find the receipt anymore, so it won't help if I just bring it back to the shop.

  Where Toshiba can I apply for?

  How can I open the case to see if the drive is broken, or just the USB interface?
  The enclosure has two small screws, but by unscrewing seems to have no effect, it seems that they are just to fix a foot plate support.

  Help, please! It is a nighmare!

  Thank you kind
  Ulf

  > How can I open the case to see if the drive is broken, or just the USB interface?
  Don t what a controller can be broken. If something is broken, then this might be just the HARD drive.

  If the HARD drive burp more then the hardware failure is possible and only a replacement can help you. Stupidly that you can't find the verification of sales because it is necessary to get a replacement under warranty

• C: transfer disc 500 GB external drive and re - install XP for best performance...

  Can I safely move my C: drive to my external 500 GB drive and re-install XP for best performance, and then replace the files & C: files transferred by car to ' puter?

  N ° it will not work. Copy your data to the external hard drive, and then make your own install if that's what you want. But take a look at the "slow computer" information below first. Certainly you should backup your data to the external hard drive regularly even when.

  http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Backing_Up

  http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Reinstalling_Windows

  Some reasons for the slow pace of the computer:

  1. computer has not been maintained - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Maintenance

  2. the computer is infected with the malware - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

  3. the disk is too full. Remove useless stuff, uninstall unused programs. Do not forget to save!
  http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Backing_Up

  4. flaky third party software. Toolbars and modules are particularly guilty in this area. Uninstall toolbars (Google, Yahoo, ISP brand, etc) and look at what modules are in use in your browser (s).

  5. computer has too many unnecessary programs/processes running in the background. Manage your Startup:

  For XP - How to troubleshoot using the Msconfig in Windows XP utility - http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310560
  The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx

  For Vista/Windows7 - Start Orb > Search box > type: msconfig and when it appears in the results area above, right-click and choose 'run as administrator '. Autoruns is also very useful.

  6. the user runs an inflated/invasive such as Norton and McAfee antivirus program. Replace it with a better program. I recommend NOD32 (commercial) or Avast (free). Avira is also good, but the free version has an unpleasant reminder screen (Google for instructions on how to disable it). The user can also run several real-time antivirus/firewall/security programs.

  7. the user has installed new programs that are processor and/or memory-intensive (Photoshop, AutoCAD, Mathmatica or similar) and does not have the power of the equipment.

  8 drive fails and is in PIO Mode. It's very much slow (like being in 1985). See Hans-Georg Michna here information - http://winhlp.com/?q=node/10

• Backup XP on external hard drive problems

  I tried to back up my laptop to an external hardrive to 500 GB. a message came up saying that it could not be completed as he had run out of space. The amount recorded was 3.99 GB. How can this be if the disk hard 500 GB?

  My system says it's NTFS, but I read that if she was in FAT 32 you can save only 4 GB. could be the problem?

  Yes, certainly, that is the problem. A FAT32 file has a maximum
  size of 4 GB. and the message 'out of space' is the misleading
  message that you get if you try to create a larger file...

  Note that your System is not NTFS. Is your system disk is
  NTFS. Drive external is almost certainly FAT32, and you should
  reformat to NTFS.
