Lenovo USB 500 GB hard drive not Accessible?

I recently bought a Lenovo 500 GB USB external hard drive. I kept all my back ups and video files it contains. One day I plugged the external hard drive to my laptop and do a backup of file inside and forgetfully system restore left the hard drive and my computer laptop battery for watch a movie outdoors. The evening when I went back and checked, I found my system shut down due to the discharge of the battery and when active windows had incomplete restoration and new restoration of the drive HARD has been giving a cyclic redundancy check error message. I installed a new windows 7 and I checked my Lenovo 500 GB external HARD drive, it was not accessible more and following problems were encountered

1 system takes too long to appear Local of Lenovo 500 GB of hard disk drive icon.
2 local Lenovo 500 GB disk icon HDD is not accessible or cannot be formatted.
3. when any pen drive or usb plug is made, it is never detected or answered by system until the external HARD disk USB is disconnected from the computer.
4. start of the splash screen stops when USB external hard drive is connected during boot and startup continues as soon as it is unplugged.
5 file system went from NTFS to HTFS.
  
What exactly is the problem? Is there anyway to recover my files from the external hard drive. I tried to share this drive and allowing the permissions, but everything is messaged inaccessible place.

It seems that the hard drive has failed. Contact the manufacturer support for assistance. The drive can be replaced.

    Hi all!

    The BIOS cannot recognize my new 500 GB SATA HARD drive. When I connect it to the laptop, BIOS says "No device" in the drive options. Tried jumper allows you to change the interface of disc HARD SATA-1, but without effect.
    How can I force the BIOS to recognize?

    Have you tried the drive in another computer?

    Maybe your new drive HARD isn t working properly or defective so use another rnotebook to test it or request a replacement HARD drive.

  • NAS hard drive not accessible more: the device is not configured to accept connections on port 'files and printers sharing (SMB).

    Dear,

    I am desperately looking for a solution for my specific problem how access my NAS.

    I have a hard drive from Western Digital NAS (Book Live) which worked fine until now. Yet, I just changed my internet provider and I now have a new Fritzbox 6360. Now, I can not access the hard disk of the commune of programs in Windows. I contacted two suppliers already, but without success. I think I have some incorrect settings in my Windows 7, 64 bit. This is the situation:

    -NAS is still working with my old Fritzbox, for testing that I went back-> ok

    -I can access the NAS via the dashboard or a TwonkyServer-> ok

    -When I access it via Windows Explorer, I wonder is to give my credentials (which don't work) or I get the error message: the device is not configured to accept connections on port 'files and printers sharing (SMB).

    -J' changed my IP address (dynamic even static) and connections, password-> without success.

    -J' tried SFC with the result that found no violation of integrity. -> ok.

    Any idea?

    Can you please turn off the NAS, unplug the cable and Ethernet cable? Wait about 2 minutes then plug all the cables back in. Any security program or firewall to this computer? Try disabling it for now.

    You have another PC or laptop which has Windows 7/8 and try to access the NAS?

    You have a smartphone or a Tablet and download an application for the WD NAS and then try to access files.

  • Qosmio G30 - RAID may not reflect new 500 GB HARD drive

    I have installed 2 new identical 500 GB hard in my Qosmio G30 with Windows XP.

    The system works well, but the disc cannot be mirrored. Report of the Raid Controller is 'Normal Operation status.

    This disk cannot be used for mirroring because it is outside the management of the RAID."

    Who can tell me whether it is a disc error or is the drive of 500 GB to big for the toshiba with Windows XP raid controller?

    > Can anyone tell me if it of a disc error, or is the drive of 500 GB to big for the toshiba with Windows XP raid controller?

    Hmm. I m not very good, but it could be possible that the 500 GB HARD drive is too big for the mirroring of the mode.

    But have you tried to change the mode in comforter Toshiba RAID you might find in Toshiba Assist-> Protect Fix & -> RAID Console

    Check if you can switch to the mirroring.

    By the way; RAID-1 is defined in the BIOS?
    Usually, when you use RAID-1 configuration, the RAID is set to mirroring. In this case, the operating system recognizes the reduced ability to both hard drives (in your case, it is not important since you are using the two 500 GB HDD).

    < email published by host >

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • Is it possible to change the 500 GB HARD drive with an SSD on my HP Pavilion MS228sc?

    I wonder if it is possible to change the 500 GB HARD drive with an SSD on my HP Pavilion MS228sc?

    If 'yes', I guess I have to go for a SATA SSD if there is. But I have to worry about other specs?

    If 'Yes'... what could be.

    I googled my question but no answers... so I ty Wizzards :-) Forum

    @Lord_Nikon

    In fact, this is not true. As long as he uses a large SSD enough it will be able to use the recovery media. I suggest using a SSD of 256 or 512 GB if budgeted for the upgrade...

    He doesn't have to make a Windows 7 installation USB drive and use the activation key license on the certificate of authenticity from the PC Windows to perform a cleanup to install.

    One of them should be on your PC. The Prodct key is what is needed for installation and activation online.

  • Hard drive not detected 50% of the time to start up

    I have a model of Macbook Pro mid 2012 with the following changes:

    • Upgrade to 16 GB Ram
    • DVD player, replaced by Bay and old (existing) 500 GB hard drive for storage
    • Hard drive replaced with 250 GB SSD (Samsung EVO 850)
    • Windows via Bootcamp 10
    • Mac OS X Yosemite
    • Refind installed at startup

    Recently, my existing SSD drive gave me a lot of questions - so I'm a new and SuperDuper'ed the existing on it. Formatted the Windows partition and reinstalled Windows 10.

    I have 50 GB on the Mac drive and 200 concerts on Windows.

    The issue that I am facing is that on every other bootup, the Mac does not detect the hard drive.

    If I OPTION-press and hold the button, I see only the 500 Gig data drive (which is not bootable).

    Then, I need to restart and COMMAND + R (or D) to enter the internet recovery mode, wait until the choice of network is displayed.

    Then when I reboot, I am presented with the original hard drive and multiple start options (Mac / Windows) on Refind.

    I don't think it's a matter of refind, as happens even with uninstalled Refind.

    This does not happen when I plug my old (SSD by default).

    What could go wrong on the new hard drive and I can barely turn the question?

    Thank you.

    What are the contents of the disc in hand and Optibay Bay?

  • Toshiba 320 GB USB 2.0 HARD drive freezes computer

    I just bought a Toshiba 320 GB USB 2.0 HARD drive and every time I try to transfer the data of light go red after 20 seconds and the computer crashes. The only way I can sort is by turning it off at the wall. The HARD drive works fine via a USB1.0 port and other devices like printers etc joysticks work fine through my USB 2.0 Pci card, but not my HARD drive, any ideas what this could be?
    Thank you

    Hello

    You can also try to use the USB1.0 port. But if you want to use data transfer high, you can try to use the firewire port. Using Firewire USB2 adapter for example.

  • Hard drive not found - installing WXP on Equium P200

    Dear all

    I have an Equium P200 with Vista. I decided to remove vista and install windows XP. I put the XP and it goes through a verification process, I guess. At the end of the audit and after I pressed the button to install XP, I get the message "hard drive not found on this computer. Help me with as I want to install XP, my laptop?

    Concerning
    REDA

    The XP operating system could not find the HARD drive because you have not installed the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
    It is a SATA driver is needed t install the XP.

    During the operating system installation process, you will need to press the F6 key to include the external USB FDD drive SATA driver.

    It you don t have a USB FDD drive then nLite software could be a solution.

  • Hard drive not detected after adding 2nd mSATA SSD for HP Envy 14 1002tx

    Hello

    I'm having a problem when adding an extra mSATA SSD for my HP Envy 1002tx model.

    The laptop comes with a 500 GB HARD drive and I see that there is a 2.5 "mSATA SSD slot under the HARD drive, so I bought the same type of SSD and installed it but when I turn on the laptop, it does not introduce yourself. I don't know why?

    I want to have an SSD for boot up the laptop and HARD drive to store animals.

    If anyone knows if there is any software I have to install in order for the laptop to recognize the SSD?

    OR

    Is - this material is defective?

    Thank you in advance!

    I'm really sorry, I could not find this before, but the slot under the hard drive is not compatible with the mSATA disks. It's for WWAN modules! Your laptop is not like 4 I thought, but Envy 14 equipped with the first generation of Intel processors. Envy 14-Sandy Bridge 2000 series could be BIOS modded to make the miniPCI-e interface works with the mSATA disks but Envy 14-1000 series is not possible to change.

    Edit: 2.5 "drive 256GB solid state drive is listed as compatible.
