• Lightroom 5, letter from the external HARD disk drive

  I use LR 5 and store my images on an external drive 'f' raw Once I inserted an SD card on my PC from Win10, and he received the letter F on the SD drive. Later, when I connected my external drive where I store my raw, the PC files it G. Since then, I am unable to get LR5 to locate photos. I went into disk, reassigned management to F the drive letter for the drive external hard, then back to G since LR5 thought he was now drive G. other than the location manually each individual records, seems to have no other choice. Any help would be appreciated

  The simplest solution is to use disk management to reassign the external drive the desired letter.

  My recommendation is to choose a letter 'J' so that readers SD or other do not continue to change the letter on you.

  After that you have the letter assigned, go to Lightroom file Board.

  If the folder hierarchy does not appear as it does explore, right click on a folder and select 'Show the parent'. Repeat if necessary.

  Then 'move' the first folder on the drive with the new letter. Everything under this first file will be automatically updated.

  Hi dynamitenews

   

  1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
  2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

   

  You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

  Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.
  
  BIOS WARNING-
  Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly.

• How to change the letter on the external HARD disk

  My drive external hard was originally on drive F, and with that, I got all my music iTunes also. However, for some reason, my computer stopped recognizing the F drive; the following message appears when you try to open this drive:

  "The drive or network connection that designates the shortcut 'F Drive.ink' is not available. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available and then try again. »

  The problem I have now is that the external hard drive is now the G disk and iTunes does not recognize the path (G:\iTunes), I say to use, for example, my music is not loading properly and that a fraction is playable.

  Can someone help me with this?

  Hello

  I would recommend to change the external drive (g) to F letter.
  Do you know how to do this?

  After the external HARD disk is connected, you need to access the disk management and you will see the HARD drive (unique partitions) and other readers.
  Then you must mark the external HARD disk and should change the letter F.

  Perhaps the letter F was reserved for another drive.
  In this case, you need to unlock the letter F by assigning another letter to the reader that uses the letter F.

• I need the driver for my external HARD disk drive

  Hi how are you?

  Well, I would like to know I do an external drive using the portable hard drive whose name is "Toshiba MK8034GSX" which is with a capacity of 80 GB.
  A few days back I plugged to the USB port with my pc but after that it says need driver and I n t have the HARD disk driver.

  With regard to:

  Martine André

  Hello

  What is a USB HDD?
  You n t need any driver, and there is no drivers for an external USB HDD.

  The USB driver is part of the Windows OS and it s already installed.
  The USB HDD must be fitted with a plug & play device which means that should be recognized automatically after you connect to the laptop USB port.

  What OS you have and what laptop is it?
  The operating system is up to date?
  USB ports are correctly listed in the Device Manager?

• files and folders invisible after the attack of virus on the external HARD disk

  I have an external Seagate 500 GB HDD.
  Yesterday I plugged on my friend's laptop computer, but her laptop has been attacked. I didn't know it. so I just copied the files on my HARD drive.
  After connecting the HARD drive to my laptop, I've scanned several times, but only one file or folder is not visible in it. And I checked the properties, its display used and remaining memory on the HARD drive.
  Not what happened? I want historical data... How can I make them visible?
  Help, please...

  Hi Muralidharpattar,

  This problem normally occurs when permission for files/folders have been modified and may be hidden.

  Method 1: We will connect the hard drive and try to check if files and folders are hidden or not.

  Method 2:

  If the problem persists, I suggest you analyze the external hard drive to see if it is operated by the virus and malwares. If you have any antivirus program that is not built, you can run scanning using it. If this isn't the case, you can use the provided scanner.

  Step 1:

  Start your computer in safe mode and check the number.

• Impossible to mount the external hard drive on iMac

  I have a Seagate NTFS hard drive mounting problem on my iMac, do anyone know why?

  I am aware that iMac does not support the NTFS format. Already when I plug the hard drive NTFS, it has been able to mount the hard drive and the drive will appear on the desktop. I am able to read the disk, but cannot write , which is perfectly fine.

  The problem occurs when I finally had to write my iMac on the hard drive, so I downloaded the paragon of Seagate and software of dashboard that were meant to allow a Mac write to the hard disk. However, after installation, everything went haywire and the hard drive would not rise again. Remove the seagate software wouldn't help.

  My iMac still detect the drive when I plug the hard drive, but I can't mount the hard drive to use it. All I want is to be able to read the drive.

  Anyone know how I can get my iMac to climb back from the hard disk NTFS?

  I'm on El Capitan 10.11.2.

  Try to uninstall the "Seagate dashboard and paragon software" and restarting your iMac.

• Damaged on the external HARD disk MBR

  One of my external hard drives (a 2 to Seagate) obviously has a damaged MBR.  In disk management, I get a box saying I need to initialize the disk before logical disk manager can access it.  Before you reformat the HARD drive, is it possible to recover the data?  As a side note it was working fine until today.

  Use the free Seagate, utility SeaTools to diagnose and possibly fix the problem
