IMicrosoft 'Repair disc' has 'uninitialized' my external hard drive

will have a problem of audio distortion and hit 'Repair disc' for my external hard drive, thinking it could be the culprit.  The program at a standstill.  When I rebooted, my external hard drive would not appear on my computer.  In disk management, it has marked as "not initialized".  It is full of critical data.  What should I do?  I am running Windows XP Service Pack 3 32-bit.  My external hard drive is a Maxtor One Touch II (now Seagate).  Thank you!

Hi TimYX,

This problem may be caused by the hardware failure or a bad hard drive configuration. You can try initializing the hard drive and everything should be good. If the problem comes from the configuration or failure, you will lose data and will need a 3rd party program data recovery.

  • Help! Time Machine has deleted my external hard drive iPhotos to make room for backups. I lost my birth iPhotos and the first 2 years of my baby!

    I'm next to me, I hope that there is a way to get back them.

    I was told my someone from tech apple to my iPhotos on an external hard disk to make more space on my MacBook Air, which seemed to work fine. We also have this same external hard drive my Time Machine.

    I noticed a small box from time to time come and say something like, Time Machine is running out of space to record new data, you want to delete things until March 2013 etc. He asked me a few times and I said yes, all the way until June 2014. Now just disappeared in my iPhotos to find some pictures of my daughter when she was a baby (in 2012) and there is nothing there before 2014. I'm completely panic, is there something I can do?

    Thank you, Kate

    PS

    This is the first time I've posted here, this is the right place to ask this question?

    Can specify you:

    You have time machine back ups and an iPhoto library on the same application - no time machine back ups of the library?

  • Can I save one external hard drive to another on a mac?

    I have just changed Windows for iMac and I have no idea of the backup of the system on a mac.

    I have an external hard drive that is used for the pictures I use Photoshop and Lightroom. I want to know how I can backup this disc on an another external hard drive and update only the files that have changed on the original disc.

    It would be also possible to save the iMac to a third external hard drive?

    I would really appreciate the help.

    The best way to save your Mac's Time Machine. It can save the Mac gradually and keeps a history of backups, so that you can go to different moments in time when you restore your Mac.  Time Machine can also include external drives to the backup, see this link: the basics of the Mac: Time Machine

    If you want to save your Media Player separately use cloning software for updating a copy cloned, for example carbon copy clone.

  • Satellite L670-1KZ - problem for a disc of 3 TB external HARD

    I use 3 TB drive Seagate and WD on my Antec external box or grid of storeva very often to back up my data.

    The problem is it randomely, I can't disconnect my external hard drive.

    Sometimes, it works using HotSwap when connected with e-sata cable, sometimes it is said that my external HDD is still in use and request a reboot, but more dangerous, like today, nothing happens when you use this time this cursed F * tool windows 7 64-bit: "eject the disc safely" through the green icon.

    I see my drive external HARD on windows Explorer, but it is completely locked and blocked, frozen. I can wait an hour, nothing changes. The problem is that when I try to reboot my laptop, it crash and I have to manually shut down.

    And it's very bad, because after that, when I reconnect my external SD, I still have the same problem, the data have disappeared or are inaccessible.
    If I perform a scandisk to repair the damaged cluster supposed-to-be, it hangs at X %, then, I'll have to kill the process, restart, plug the external SD. And then, no error message more, not corrupted data etc etc...
    The result is sometimes, no damage, sometimes I have the bad surprise with damaged files, it's Russian roulette!

    I never know if my data on my hard drive has been corrupted or not until I test, how for example an original bluray movie that will not play propely because a single m2ts file is dead.

    I'm tired of living with fear or crashing 3 TB of data at any time, the 2 TB SD never never will ever face this problem.

    * Question: * is at - it solution secure to avoid this problem of ejection of the external 3 to DD permanently or do I have to change my cell phone? I don't have a PC, just my satellite.

    With my thanks for your help, I'm desperate.

    Generally, you will not be able to eject safely the external HARD disk, if an application still accesses the HARD drive. This can be a process that runs in the background.
    In this case you must close this process in order to eject the HARD disk.
    In my case, I couldn't eject the HARD drive because I've downloaded some files from the external HARD drive to my cloud. I had to close all my browser windows just to eject the HARD disk.

    But this does not mean that this could be the case even for your question, it may be any process that you know

  • Library of photos on external hard drive: not possible repair

    Hello world

    Today, when I tried to open my library of Photos, Photos crashed. After I have reopened, Photos asked that the library must be repaired. I started who, but after 2%, Photos crashed with "an unexpected error has occurred." A restart does not solve this problem. I still can't view the contents of the library package.

    I saw on messages earlier (for example, 10.10.3 Photos can not repair permissions), the output of this Terminal command can reveal the underlying error:

    find ~ $TMPDIR...------(-+ flags sappnd, uappnd, schg, uchg o! - user $UID o! - perm-600 o - acl-) 2 >/dev/null | WC-l

    Outputs this line in my case: 4471

    Please note that I'm storing my photo library, including all images imported into a separate external hard drive connected via USB.

    So perhaps the command above (where I'm not sure what it does) may not be to give the required output to track down the problem.

    Following the crash of the pictures, here is the output of the Console:

  • Tries to access an external hard drive get the error "system error 1130 has occurred."

    I have an old box with Windows XP Professional SP3 installed that I use as a file server. I installed a 2 TB external hard drive and set a couple of actions on it. Everything worked fine until 2 weeks ago when I lorsque je pouvais pouvais join is no longer to the actions of one other machines of the network: whenever I tried, I got:

  • My external hard drive has changed its Mac format to NTFS by itself. If anyone else has experienced this?

    I would post screenshots, but I'm currently back up backup (lol) my hard drive to another drive so I can reformat the drive. Anyway, today I plugged my Toshiba Caniva 1 TB external to some organization. I went to delete something (Cmd + delete) and nothing happened. So, I tried to drag and drop it into the basket and received a message saying that the file cannot be removed. It's weird, I thought. So, I open disk utility and discover that my external hard drive has decided to change to NTFS on its own. I tried to eject and reconnect it - that did not work. I tried to restart - which did not work. I thought that my USB hub could be a problem - nope. The only things that have changed since I last used my outside is that I changed the battery in my MacBook, put in an SSD and upgraded to El Capitan. I don't see how one of these could cause this but I thought I would mention it. Anyone who has something similar happens? Thank you.

    The reader not to not reformat in NTFS. If the disk has been reformatted would vanish all your data. I suspect that before you upgrade to El Capitan you ran a third party app that would allow you to use NTFS formatted disk. Once you upgrade to El Capitan the app is no longer compatible with your new operating system. You must download and install an upgraded version of your application that supports El Capitan. Or, you can copy all data from the disk and reformat then for your Mac.

  • My external hard drive (Time Machine) has not been saved for a month.

    A month ago I left town for a week. After coming back, I noticed my icon time machine backup constantly Menu bar, but I paid no attention until three days when he tried to save in vain, I noticed. I tried to disconnect and reconnect my external hard drive, but it still does not work. Nothing has really changed any other times where I was out of town and time machines worked perfectly well. The only thought I have, which could prevent the machine from time to work, is that I've been reluctant to do the software update. I heard terrible things about the captain, especially when it comes to iPhoto, and iPhoto is my main thing on my computer... so I had voluntarily decided to not update. Do you think that this is what is causing the problem? Thank you very much.

  • External hard drive has stopped working.

    I have a 500 GB WD external hard drive book that has stop working. He is no more, but I know that it is always powered because I can see that the lights are still coming when I plug in the power cord inside. No one knows anyway I can get access to the drive so that I can get my data on the disk. It was about 80% full and I was trying to take data out of the car so that I could make cleaner. It was not terribly fragmented, but I need to take some of the data out of the car that's why I was burning there CD so that I could do when he leaves. Now I can't access the drive at all. Does anyone know of a way I can access the drive so I can get my data?

    The only thing I've heard to try and get a non-filature spinning disk long enough to get the data off the drive is to put the drive in the freezer, let cool completely, and then quickly remove it and try to make it work.  Sometimes this will release bearings long enough to allow him to run for a few minutes before it warms so that you can get the data.  No guarantees, of course.

    Good luck
