• 160 GB external hard drive of Gigastore is not recognized correctly

  Hi, hope someone can help me!

  I bought a 160 GB external drive Gigastore hard today, but the plug inside, the computer did not recognize it. In fact, nothing happened. I tried all the usual as control to see if it was in my computer and then right click my computer, manage, etc computer management, but again, she did not show. I tested it on another pc and still does not work. I'll put up the wires correctly, so this isn't the issue.

  When I turn on the power, the hard drive light constantly flashes blue. I would have thought that will be that the hard drive has been slowed down, that he would stay on continuously without blinking. Could someone let me know if this blinking determines that the disk does not just and it is indeed tired?

  Hello

  It seems that it s not a laptop fault because the other laptop or PC can not recognize the external HARD drive.
  Have you checked if some additional drivers or tools were shipped with this external HARD drive device?
  If please connect the HARD drive and use the Add Hardware option

• 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.

  You him have not said if you did all troubleshooting. Tell us what troubleshooting have you tried, and then we can give you an idea.

  Furthermore, El Capitan is very stable. However, you should not pass until your system is stable.

• Is it possible to extract personal folders from my hard drive and transfer to an external hard drive if Windows does not start?

  Hello, I recently started my Windows XP Dell computer and it should start up normally unless it would run the ChkDsk utility. It would freeze then 68% on stage 1 and goes no further. I called the people of Dell and after trying so many solutions, including safe mode, safe mode with network and CommandPrompt, we ran the diagnosis. The hard drive and memory are fine, no errors. He concluded that it was the operating system and must be restored. However, I have important files, I need to extract from my hard drive and he recommended me an external hard drive. I bought it, but now I'm not sure how to extract my files from my drive hard if Windows can not even boot the desktop computer. Is it possible to extract these files without the use of the desktop computer?

  And you've burned the .iso image, and not as data? If Yes, then you have created a bootable CD. Put it in your optical drive and restart the computer. You may need to change the boot order in your BIOS. With some machines, you can get a temporary startup command menu by pressing a function such as F12 at startup. Other computers require that you enter setup and change the boot order in the optical drive first of all from there. When you start your computer it will be information about which key press to enter the BIOS (Setup) or give you the temporary boot order.

  After you changed the boot order to boot first from the CD and rebooted the computer, Knoppix will boot. Have your external hard drive connected to the computer before you start doing this. After Knoppix is finished booting, you will be in his office. It will be very similar to Windows. There are icons on the desktop for your internal hard drive and the external hard drive. Copy files from the internal to the external drive as you want. Review what I wrote about the use of Knoppix in my previous answer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• E4200 no longer sees my 1 TB Iomega external hard drive

  Hello - I got an Iomega 1 TB external hard drive connected to my router E4200.  I got confgured actions and they have been correctly running on the network.

  As of yesterday, all that has stopped working. The router does not see the disk; It is as if she is not plugged in.

  I rebooted the router and it still does not work.  I connected the hard drive directly to my PC to check that it works, and it does.

  The router is running Ver.1.0.03 (Build 14) of the firmware (the last).

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you!

  OK - I found a place to move my files and did a re - format drive.  Now he sees the player very well!

  Yes.

• I can't find my external hard drive under 'Computer' but it appears in "Devices and printers" How can I access files on my external hard drive?

  I can't find my external hard drive in "computer".

  I just bougth a new HP computer running Windows 7.  I just copied a bunch of movie files, music and photo of my old Mac (OSX Leopard) on a Western Digital external hard drive.

  I plugged the external drive in my HP via USB 2.0 on the front of the computer.  Windows recognizes the drive.  She appears in the Panel of external control/hardware and Sound/devices and printers as "HARD disk".

  It does not appear in 'Computer' under 'devices with removable storage ".

  I just want to get to my files so I can copy them to my new computer.  How to access my files on the external hard drive?  Why isn't he appear in 'computer '?

  Hello ShamedMonkey,

  Thank you for your message.  The problem you are having is because of differences in formatting between PC and Mac.  You can, however, transfer your files between the two.  I will set out what must be done under and limitations of each.
  First, you will need to format the drive on your PC.  When you format the PC, you can format it in FAT32 or NTFS.
  (You mentioned that you do not see the drive in the computer) To format drive:
  Click 'Start' > right click on 'Computer' > select 'manage '.
  Click on "disk management".
  In the right pane, you should see your drive > you can then do a right click and 'format '.
  FAT32:
  This format will allow you to easily transfer files between the two.  This format becomes problematic when you transfer files more than 4 G.  There is a limit of 4 GB in FAT32, etc. of many movies are bigger than that and cannot be transferred using this format.
  NTFS
  This format has no size limitation, however, in its normal state it will be 'Read only' on Mac.  If you will not be able to transfer all the data itself.  While doing some research on the web, it seems that you can use a program called MacFuse on your Mac to change to NTFS files.  I have not confirmed this, but you can give it a try.  If this program works as planned, it would be the way to go.
  Please let us know if it did or did not solve your problem.
  See you soon

• External hard drive is recognized but cannot see the content

  My external hard drive PX1393E - 2 32 is identified as removable media, if I connect it with my laptop. But there is no possibility of access. Size is shown as '0' and you can't see the content.

  I work with Windows Vista Home Premium SP 1. I tried to use the hard drive with a second computer (also Vista): same problem. If I connect the hard drive with a laptop that works with XP, I can see and use all my data.

  Drivers and the operating system are the last level.

  Does anyone know a solution?

  (I ask forgiveness because of my bad English.)

  Hello

  You can see the size of the HARD disk in disk management?

  Normally the external HARD drive should also work on Vista if it works properly on your XP computer.
  You use different cables? Maybe you should try other on Vista laptop.

  In addition, I would recommend formatting the HARD drive again. It's maybe something s wrong with the structure of the partition.

• external hard drive contains files, but the folder in lightroom is empty

  I have all my photos on an external hard drive. Years 2006-2015 are only on the external hard drive, they are all organized by month and they all appear in the lightroom Library 5 very well.  2016 is on the internal hard drive of my mac (fine organized and functioning properly) and I also backed it up on the external hard drive. If I go to the finder, I see the 2016 files are on my external hard drive, but 2016 in the lightroom hard disk library is empty. I can't import on the external drive again because when I do that all the files are gray because they are already there on. Any ideas on how to get the files appear in the library?

  If you follow the instructions of dj_paige, Lightroom will then see the photos on the EHD, but will no longer see the pictures on the internal drive.  -What are you trying to do?  I got the impression you want Lightroom to see pictures in both IHD and DHM.

• Copy of images from sources (not moving) on a second external hard drive - Lightroom doesn't not grateful

  I have my images from source on an external drive, but when I copied (not moved) these source images to a second hard drive for backup (via the Finder), Lightroom would not indicate the player or images. How can I get Lightroom to recognize this drive / these images?

  Hi andrewp46044898,

  Greetings.

  You first have to import at least one file of this external drive, so that the reader appears in the records of Lightroom.

  Also, make sure that you have read and write on this external drive access.

• My external hard drive Vervatim 47535 will not work.

  I am running Windows 8 pro and after some problems where my counter top would not come on I have unplugged the machine and then plugged in again.  Since then, my disk drive hard verbatim is not recognized.  I was in disk management and the drive does not appear.  When I look at the verbatim the switch is off, but there is no light next to HARD drive or a net.  I do not always have the verbatim plugged into the machine and it was not plugged in when I disconnected the office.  Can someone help please I have not run a return for weeks because the Verbatim does not work.  Thank you.

  Hi Julie,.

  Thanks for the reply.

  As mentioned by "slance310", the unit may be damaged because of the failure. Because the unit is not getting recognized in the other computer, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer of the hardware for more information.
