  Hi Itay,

  Thanks for posting on Microsoft Community.

  I understand that you get this error "the application \Device\HarddiskVolume4\Windows\System32\svchost.exe prevents this device to be stopped. Close the application and then try to stop the device again. "Whenever you try to eject the external hard drive.

  You may get this message if Windows was started with the inserted disc. Try to wait until Windows is completely loaded before inserting it, then if you try to eject it doesn't work.

  You can try the suggestions below and check if it helps.

• External hard drive USB on Time Capsule

  Hello

  I have an external USB hard disk and plug it into the USB port of my Airport Time Capsule makes it accessible wireless (if on the sidebar of the window under the section 'sharing' I click on the Time Capsule to enter airport name next to his record 'data', I also have a folder with the name of my USB HD and I can access).

  Now the problem. I have a USB external hard drive, I can access normally connect my iMac or iBook portUSB one, but, if connected to the time Capsule... nothing happens.

  So there must be a difference in the two external hard drive. What a difference creates the problem, why and what I can do is my question.

  Can someone help me?

  So far, here is what I found to be the similarities and differences:

  The two serial ATA, 2 to, partition GUID mapped external USB hard drive.

  In disk utility, one that is visible on the Time Capsule is displayed as 'external HARD disk support' physical disk with OS X extended physical volume. One who isn't appears as physical disk 'external media' with logic extended OS X volume.

  Hi Ranmaboy,

  I understand you have two external hard drives USB that you want to connect to your airport Time Capsule via USB, but one who is not recognized by the Capsule from the airport. Given that this player connects to your iMac without problem, I would recommend that you backup all data stored on the disk, and then follow the steps here to re - format the drive using disk utility:

  Backup disks, you can use with Time Machine - Apple Support

  Format a drive connected to an AirPort Extreme 802.11ac or Time Capsule

  If you are using an AirPort Extreme 802.11ac or Time Capsule, you can connect an external drive to the USB port on these devices for use with Time Machine. Follow these steps to reformat the hard disk in the first place, it is ready for use.

  1. Connect the hard drive to a USB port on your Mac.
  2. Open disk utility.
  3. On the left side of the disk utility window, select your external drive (or one of its partitions).
  4. Click the delete or delete button on the toolbar.
  5. On the Format menu, choose Mac OS extended (journaled).
  6. Type a name for your drive, and then click clear.
  7. After that the drive is deleted, close the disk utility window.

  Once the disk has been reformatted, try to connect this back to the airport Time Capsule to see if it is now recognized.

  Have a great rest of your day!

• How to work with files of database on an external hard drive (USB 2.0 or 3.0)

  I have Oracle 11 GR 2, installed on my laptop. I would like to create an instance of the database on my laptop, but putting the data files on an external hard drive (USB 2.0 or 3.0).

• External hard drive USB

  Primarily for backup purposes, I have connected via USB, a new external hard drive to my Compaq Presario (using Windows 7) but I don't see how to access or use. Removal and replacement of the plug USB produce noise sound from the PC that I expect.  Start/computer shows no signs of the element. Start/devices and printers displays an icon for the item, but clicking on it gives no response.   Where should I go from here?

  AHA!   I think you're right about that!   The power, I mean.   It ran OK on laptop from a friend and I tried all the USB ports on my PC but with no joy there.   I think the answer will return for an Exchange or a refund and get a different model.

  I return it for an Exchange/refund and get a USB 2.0 in this case.

• Cannot find external hard drives - Windows XP Media Center

  I just got a new external HDD two days ago in the case where my old drive never fails. I have connected both to my laptop and copy all my old files from the old drive to the new. Yesterday, I clicked on 'Stop' under 'Remove hardware safely', and both readers suddenly stopped being recognized by my computer. When I plug in, they light up and run, but their records are not displayed in my computer. I don't get any error message (or any kind of message), but they always show upward under Device Manager. I tried to move the USB cables, restarted my computer, update device drivers, do a system restore and run a virus scan (some files on my drive C: disappeared recently, however, the scanner found nothing). I also tried to attach external hard drives to other computers, but they are still not recognized. Please help - I have files that cannot be replaced and the new cost of drive hard $100, and I don't want to go through the hassle of trying to get a replacement without warranty or invoice.

  Hard drives not recognized in all other computers as well? There lies the problem.

  Try to connect to some other computers (XP, Vista or 7) and see if the problem repeats.

  If so, your disks are dead (because no computers detect them).

  Download and run the utility to diagnoses of the Web site of the manufacturer of the hard disk to check for disk errors.

• Refusal of the WORKSTATION to access external hard drive window

  Hello

  I can't access an external hard drive (WD My Book Home Edition). The problem happened when I disconnected my external drive from my Win XP Pro computer and plugged into another Win XP Home computer that had another WD external drive attached to it. Both my drive ext as wel as the other disk ext became inaccessible. I disconnected my 2nd computer ext drive and connected to computer Win XP pro that I always use. However even though my computer recognizes the drive I have noticed that the icon WD changed to a regular folder icon and whenever I try to open it, it says drive H is inaccessible. I also noticed that the folder icon was the same as the 2nd ext drive connected to the computer Win XP Home. I tried the microsoft bulletin:
  "This article describes how to capture a file or folder to which you are denied.
  I décliqués the "simplified" sharing and set permissions on a shared folder. "" After that it gives information about the ownership of the folder as follows:
  To take ownership of a folder, follow these steps: right - click the folder you want to take control and then click Properties.
  1. Click on the Security tab, and then click OK in the security message (if one appears).
  2. Click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.
  3. In the name list, click on your user name , or click on administrator , if you are logged in as administrator, or click the Administrators group. If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the check box Replace owner of subcontainers and objects.
  4. Click OKand then click Yes when you receive the following message is displayed:
     You are not allowed to read the contents of the directory folder name . Do you want to replace the the directory permissions with permissions granting you full control?

     All permissions will be replaced if you click Yes.

     Note folder name is the name of the folder you want to take charge.

  5. Click OK, and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents.

  I can not follow these directions as I do not have a visible security tab. I was able to save things to my ext drive but cannot access it from the my computer window. I am therefore able to see the contents of the disc in the 'SAVE AS' window. Given that I'm not very good at the computer stuff can someone give me step by step instructions on how to access my drive hard Ext. window "WORKSTATION". Thank you in advance.

  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  Perhaps the reader reaches the end of the life, but at the moment it is not easy to say...

  Have you tried another cable to the HARD drive? Maybe it's just a problem of cable s.
  In addition, you should check the HARD drive on another computer or laptop. So you can make sure if it s a USB issue or not.
