  Hard drives don't need to be 'cleaned' to be reused.  All you have to do is remove the files them is more sought after.

  There are procedures that you can use if you are concerned about a person to recover deleted information (for example, if you sell or give a hard drive - usually as part of a computer), but otherwise, you do not need to do anything special.

  No, you cannot format a disk not partially.  But you can create "partitions" on a single hard drive and format each partition separately.  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309000 -

  Basic disk storage supports disks with partition. A basic disk is a physical disk that contains primary partitions, extended partitions, or logical drives. Partitions and logical drives on basic disks are also called basic volumes. You can create up to four primary partitions, or three primary partitions and an extended partition with logical drives.

  No, you can't format the C: drive and maintain the operating system (assuming C: location of the operating system).

  If you do not use 'Quick format' (which omits the analysis of bad sectors), a 3 TB drive will probably take a night or more to fit.  You must make at least a full format on a drive not used to check for bad sectors; After that, you can use the quick format. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/302686 however, almost any hard drive you buy these days will come already formatted.  The only reason for re - format would be to change the file system (for example, from FAT32 to NTFS).

• Impossible to install the driver Windows 7 for my Canon MF4150 USB printer and scanner-worked in XP

  Original title: Windows 7 x 64 Windows printer problems is not able to resolve

  The scanner and my Canon MF4150 USB printer was working fine with my Windows XP computer.

  I got a new computer with Windows 7 x 64 OS and I can't get the printer to work.

  I downloaded the printer driver specified for Windows 7 x 64.

  The installation program is not accepted as I get a message that the resource file are not available.

  I then added the printer manually without success.

  The strange thing is that it shows in devices and printers but nothing prints.

  Initially, it has the usual green check that the default printer then becomes a warning sign yellow when I try to print.

  Right-click on the printer and select "Printer properties" and select "Canon MF4100 series UFRII LT" in the SUP menu if it exists, this name may be different in your machine. After the Properties window shows tab select the 'Port '. change the port to another USB port (the one that the printer is connected to), and then apply the changes. Your problem should be solved.

  I hope this helps

• Historical files Windows 8 will not recognize the new external hard drive

  I just bought a new laptop (Sony Vaio) with Windows 8Pro (System op 64-bit, Intel I7, 1THD).  One of the reasons is that I have approached Win8, is I liked the concept of the new 'File History' backup utility  I started to use the computer with an ext WD My Guide of the HD and the history of the files seemed to work.  Then the drive external hard went wrong and I just bought a new WD My Passport 2 t ext HD.  Historical files will not recognize this drive.  He keeps asking the old drive.  When I attached the new drive and go to the screen "Select drive", it says "no usable drives are detected.  Please connect a drive... "I know that the drive is there because I see under 'My computer' and I can copy files to it.  But the history of the files do not recognize.  WD, I called and they helped me to update drivers and even made a update firmware on the drive, but nothing is done.  I tried several fixes suggested in a few links Microsoft 'how file history works... '. «, «What to do if the file history works more...» ", etc, but all without success. The tech also remote BestBuy Geek squad my computer and tried EVERYTHING and could not get it to succeed.  BTW, it's not the HD post because put us on another computer to WIN 8 and Hx file found immediately.  Tech people thought that it was a deep registry with Win 8 problem and their only suggestion was to reimage my computer with the original recovery disk.  But who is going to cost me an arm and a leg.

  I'm not very tech savvy, so I know there must be something very simple, I'm do wrong or overlooking and I hope that some dear soul on this forum or someone from Microsoft can give me an idea or two.  Thank you very much

  I was having this same problem, but then noticed a presentation text easy to miss in the historical files tool that says that the disc "cannot be a part of a library" or something like that. In my case, I had files on my external hard drive that have been included in several libraries... and none that I really used, so I removed the files (and deleted the libraries for good measure). A fast system restart later, and my player does not appear.

  I don't know why MS did not propose it again for this thread as the more obvious thing to check, but there you have it. Something simple and quick to check that could save you some frustration.

• Connection drive external hard am.

  Hello world
  I wonder if it is possible to connect the drive external hard am to z3?
  In the light of others do it on the other android device. Got an otg cable, plugged my HDD but the phone is not supported it or I'm doing something wrong.

  Any help with this would be appreciated.

  Yes, you can check what file system that is used if you connect to a PC, right-click on the drive in the Solution Explorer and select Properties.

  It is possible to convert NTFS to FAT without deleting all data, but I do it without the first run a backup in case something goes wrong. And if you have files bigger than 4 GB it will be problems with these as FAT32 does not support that. exFAT supports, but I didn't know of any tool that can convert NTFS to exFAT without wiping the drive.

• Cannot access the files from the internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead

  I can't access the files from an internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead. I think that my files are still there, as shown in the volume of the player volume ~ 500 gb which is almost completely full. But I can't access most files, including documents and settings. When I took 'ownership' of the folder, I could open the TI but then it showed everything that was in my documents and settings on the computer file I used to open it, not the documents of the car.

  Uhm... I think the issue here is a misunderstanding of what you watch.

  If you want to access your files from the old hard drive - you need to look in the right place.  If the old system was "Windows 7", "Documents and Settings" is the * wrong * place to look and "Users" would be the place to go.

  You * will * take ownership and change permissions on ALL (you want to propagate to all subfolders/files when do - to save time) in order to get them properly.

  New-->: Windows Vista/7 would have your files located in the directory 'Users' of the root of the drive - and then under your username.

  • \USERS\\Desktop\
  • \USERS\\Downloads\
  • \USERS\\Favorites\
  • \USERS\\Documents\
  • \USERS\\Music\
  • \USERS\\Pictures\
  • \USERS\\Videos\

  ... etc...

  Documents and settings to WIndows Vista/Windows 7 is a symbolic link and would lead to what you see if you tried to use it.

• Drive external HARD identified as removable disk

  Hello
  I have the Toshiba 593500 - B 750 G external hard drive and I can't access my files stored on it. It's a USB 3 drive.

  When I plug it I get the added device, but the drive appears in my computer as a removable disk and I can extract is no longer my file.

  The drive activity light does not light, but the car turns.
  I tried this drive on several different computers with the same results.

  I changed the drive letter, the same result. I uninstalled the drivers, the same result.

  Help, please.

• Satellite A200-1If - drive external HARD after a while is "unknown device".

  Hello!

  I have such a problem: I work with my external case alu Toshiba 3.5 HDD 500 GB and after awhile of copy of the files in the laptop it disappears and appears this luckily device recognized.
  Can it be caused by not enough power in the USB port?

  THX for any help or the workaround

  Hello

  Yes, this may be caused by the fact, there is not enough power provided by the USB port. first of all, note that external USB hard drives 3.5 inches are generally designed to be used with systems of office due to their higher power needs (this is also the reason that many need an external power supply of their own). my suggestion would be to buy a 2.5 inch drive external hard USB is designed to be used with laptops. Another reason that the hard drive may disappear when copying files, is that there may be a problem with the connection of the USB cable between the laptop and the external HARD drive. I suggest to check that both ends are connected properly and not put any pressure on the cables and keep them stable.

  I hope this helps you with your question

  Can you please explain this? It is unclear to me.

  But if the disc external HARD only on a laptop computer does not contact the other laptop manufacturing. Maybe the chipset driver needs to be updated or it s mainboard issue.

  As floh_1 said, you can try another cable. It s worth a try! ;)
