• Format a new external hard drive

  I have a new external HD to format for OS X.

  http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?ID=1490

  I'll use for the backup of photos (in addition to other backups I have).

  1. do I need to do a Partitions (TLE say to choose a single Partition and perhaps other documents coming in another Partition)?

  Or I can make 2 folders: one for photos and other documents - both on the same a Partition? If no necessary partition...

  2. If I have to make a Partition (s), can I have them before deleting the disk or after?

  Thank you.

  

  If you erase the disc you will erase all partitions and volumes of storage on the disk.  You don't need to create separate partitions for images and documents, but you can if you wish.  Think of it as a drawer inside a closet - you want to store your photos in two separate drawers or in the drawer?  When you allocate space in a partition of that space is reserved for that specific partition.

  A partition is logically a storage device is divided into separate storage parts.  When a partition is formatted with a file system, it becomes a storage volume.  You need at least one partition formatted in order to at least have a single storage volume to store files on a storage device.

• Impossible to format my Sandisk Ultra Plus 16 GB MicroSD

  Hi, I bought this product about an hour ago from Bestbuy. It was sealed in his case, there is no way, it was a homecoming.

  When I insert the SD card with the inside microSD adapter to my computer, it asks to format the drive. Then the Format Windows removable disk appears and says that my card is 30.6 MB... When I click on Start to get in shape, with the default given the options, it returns back that it is impossible to format.

  I tried the SD Formatter 4.0 card. He says that it is write protected, even if the switch is not in write protect mode.

  I have a MicroSD USB Reader. I tried this way too, and it does not work.

  I would like to get assistance.

  I found my problem.
  As well my card reader USB MicroSD and SD of the laptop slot could not format/read it. I don't know for what reason. But they were a couple of years.
  Today, I bought a new card reader. I could open the drive very well and format.
  Hope this helps some people.

• Impossible to get a new SSD to start

  My iMac 2009 HD is dead, but I had a Time Machine backup. I replaced with a new 1 TB SSD HD death and thought I just plug the TM backup and start over. Well... I guess it doesn't work like that. I tried searching the net and found instructions to supposedly solve my problem, but they have not worked. I tried to start up taking Cmnd R, but that has not worked. I'm sure I have no CD from when I bought the iMac to my boss, while the option is out. I have an old iMac (predecessor of it) that I used as a system until I could get it fixed. I "think" I inferred that I can copy somehow the OSX from the old machine, I used it on my external hard drive which has my TM backup on it. So I think I somehow transfer that to the new SSD. Is that guess correct? If so, how can I get the operating system on the external hard drive (shouldn't it already be there as part of the TM backup?). So, how do this OS on the new SSD?

  Thank you

  You formatait the new SSD?

• I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive

  I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive because the drop-down list in the Disk Management Console does not give me this option. I'm logged in as an administrator and running Windows XP.  The driver for the new hardware is not digitally signed because I can't initialize the disk.  So I can't get my new hardware to run.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the option "Initialize disk" in the Disk Management Console?

  Hello Honduras1,

  Can you simply right-click and format everything first?  The drive must be formatted before use, make sure that you format NTFS.

  See you soon

• Development of a new second hard drive

  To install a new second hard drive, I went to the Manager > storage > management of the disks and initialized the new drive with a right click on the left side. Now I guess I need right-click right the right side to make a 'new Volume Simple Format' my question is

  1 Select 'quick format '? and

  2 should I choose to "enable file and folder compression".

  or just leave both of these boxes unchecked?

  Please notify.

  Thank you

  Hi Spaceman 69,

  Just select Quick format. You need not enable compression of files and folders.

• I have a mac pro 3.1. How can I transfer the system to a new and bigger drive?

  I have a mac pro 3.1. How can I transfer the system to a new and bigger drive? The old drive is much too small.

  I'm not familiar with your model computer, but there are several ways to do so.  If the computer can accommodate multiple disks, you can install the new drive next to the former.  If she does not accept another disk, you can in these external adapters for about $30, which allow you to attach a bare drive to a computer with USB.  Then, you clone the internal drive to the new. Cloning is a special form of the copy.  It copies all files including startup system files so that your new drive is essentially identical to the first.

• Equium A80 - BIOS does not detect new CD/DVD drive

  Hello

  I had to change a DVD player in my laptop Equium A80 earlier and now have problems using the restore DVD to my laptop to factory settings. I updated the BIOS with the latest version available, but the BIOS is still not able to see the DVD player, so does not start a restore. The DVD is fine once Windows has loaded and works very well on another PC under BIOS. I tried another DVD drive on the laptop, but he is unable to see anyone.

  Anyone have any ideas on what I can try?

  Thank you!

  Hi mate,

  First of all the CD/DVD drive must be recognized in the BIOS that you can boot from the CD/DVD drive. Otherwise it of not possible to boot from the Toshiba recovery disc.

  What is the type of the old/new CD/DVD drive?

  The user manual contains a list of compatible drives. It appears here? The fact is that not all drives are compatible with all laptops.
