• External hard drive not detected with the error: "You must format the disk in the J: drive until you can use it."

  Hello

  I have an external hard drive to work perfectly. I'm back from vacation, and it does not appear under "My Computer". It appears under "Devices and printers", however. This is a link to a screencap of Device Manager: http://i.gyazo.com/9e91e1d71ed32c55dba0419e79b499d5.png

  The device in question is that of J:, and it says here that he has 100% free space, that worries me, because he had only 50 GB of free space when I used the latter. After that I open the disk management, I get a pop up message saying: "You must format the disk in the J: drive until you can use it."

  How can I get my hard drive appears again?

  Thank you

• EliteBook 1020: External keyboard does not work in the form of Bitlocker

  We had a few HP 1020 and 1040: models recently, and all have the same question. When the laptop is connected, the external keyboard does not work in the form of Bitlocker. It works in the BIOS and in Windows itself, but not in Bitlocker. This means that we must open the laptop screen to enter the Bitlocker pin, then let it open and GPO that dictates the computer into hibernation when the lid is closed. We have twisted the GPO, but in vain. Anyone else seen elsewhere or a solution?

  If the bios is up to date, I would look at the BIOS settings. I think that Fast Boot is enabled in your case, this may cause usb devices not to see in the stadium that BitLocker requires

• Addition of Google Chrome, now Safari does not open, impossible to link electronic mail links.  Just received message "Safari is closed."  Tried deleting 3rd party add ons. Is went into preferences, Safari is the default browser, but it does not open.

  Add Google Chrome, now Safari opens Cannot link e-mail links.  Just received message "Safari is closed."  Tried deleting 3rd party add ons. Is went into preferences, Safari is the default browser, but it does not open.

  Third party extension and plug-ins?

  If Safari is slow, unresponsive, which closes unexpectedly, or has other issues

  The problem may be caused by a Safari Extension, Internet plug-in or another add-on.

  The safari Extensions, Internet plug-ins, and other modules are designed to improve or customize the browsing experience. Modules are widely available on the Internet, and some are installed as part of an application or other software. If you have Add-ons installed, an add-on might be at the root of the issue.

  If the problem is the unwanted pop-up windows, advertisements and graphics while surfing on the web, discover how to remove the ad-injection (adware) from your Mac software.

  Disable the Safari Extensions

  You can disable Extensions Safari to learn if all are causing the problem.

  1. In the Safari menu, choose Preferences.
  2. Click the Extensions icon, and then select an extension from the list.
  3. Uncheck the box enable disable this extension.

  If turning off an extension solves the problem, look for updates of the extension by clicking Update in the lower left corner of the window. Or remove the extension by clicking on the button uninstall.

  Remove Internet plug-ins and other add-ons.

  You can remove Internet plug-ins and other add-ons to see if everything is the origin of the problem. To find them, quit Safari and open these folders in library:

  • The library folder at the top level of your hard drive. Open it from the Finder by choosing go > go to folder in the menu bar. Then type /Library and then click OK.
  • The record library in your home folder. Open it by organizing the Option while choosing go > library in the menu bar.

  The folders in the library contains the following folders for modules. Move all the files in these folders to the trash.

  • Internet Plug-Ins
    Do not remove the default Browser.plugin, nslQTScriptablePlugin.xpt, Composer.webplugin of Quartz or QuickTime Plugin.plugin.
  • Input methods
  • InputManagers
  • ScriptingAdditions

  If the removal of the files in these folders solves the problem, quit Safari again and gradually put the files until you find the one at the origin of the problem:

  1. Open the Recycle Bin and select one of the files that you removed. Chose file > back up. The file back to its folder.
  2. Open Safari and see if the problem returns.
     • If the issue is returned, you have identified the add-on causing the problem. Do not use or contact its manufacturer for an updated version.
     • If the question does not return, quit Safari and put back another file.

• HP Elitedesk 800 G2 SFF: external hard drive not detected in the BIOS. Only USB Flash drives are detected.

  Hi all

  I received recently 2 new HP desktop computers.

  HP Elitedesk 800 G2 SFF

  HP Elitedesk 800 G2 TWR

  The goal is to test our real W7 x 64 image on these machines and to inject the missing drivers in the image.

  MDT 2010 to create a deployment on a USB hard disk drive.

  This disc of deployment is already used on 16 different models of HP in the company (Elitebook, zBook, EliteDesk) to install our image so I know it works.

  Unfortunately, the two HP Elitedesk 800 G2, I can't start the boot disk but I cannot to USB for a USB key.

  The USB drive is not detected and not proposed in the BIOS Menu of STARTUP.

  Only the internal HD, external USB Flash Disk, DVD and network devices are detected.

  Here's what I already checked or tried:

  • Latest Version of the BIOS installed (2.05)
  • UEFI Boot has been disabled. (not supported by our record of deployment)
  • USB ports are enabled (front and rear).
  • All types of USB devices are allowed in the BIOS
  • The start command has been changed to start with USB devices.
  • Legacy support is active and Secure Boot disabled
  • Delete the keys to secure boot
  • Reset secure by default startup keys
  • This morning, I created a new disk deployment on a USB Flash drive and it works!

  So, it seems that only Flash USB drives are detected.

  I know it is possible to return the flag removalble on a USB device to cheat the system and make it appear as a disk fixed, but I want a simple solution.

  Does anyone know a fix or a workaround for this problem?

  Thanks in advance!

  For those interested in the answer, here's the final results.

  It turns out that the hard 500 GB external drive can be detected if it is fomatted in FAT32.

  It's strange because my 16 GB USB Flash drive formatted in NTFS works very well.

  In any case, I'll create a FAT32 Partition to the Boot MDT files and put my picture (because the file is too big for FAT32 partition) on the secondary partition (formatted as NTFS).

  Thanks to the technical pre-sales team of HP who helped me with this!

• WD external drive is not detected by the Windows backup program

  Original title: with a WD external drive backup program

  I have a WD My Book Essential 320 GB external drive. The Windows backup program does not recognize the drive... The drive IS recognized on my computer and I can access and transfer and copy and paste to it without problem. It's just the backup program which does not. No error message or anything. Only, it does not recognize the drive when I get to the destination area. I tried to update the drivers. The WD support site has Backup downloads for OTHER external drives, but not this one. Their Web site says to contact Microsoft support. Any suggestions?

  Hey mrlray,

  Here's what you can do.

  Perform the clean boot

  Backup process a lot sometimes, this problem is provided by third party in conflict with windows software. See if this is the case here by putting your boot system before you perform the backup.

• External hard drive not appearing is not in Windows Explorer

  I have a Toshiba external hard drive that has been previously connected to a MAC and that worked very well. I have data on the MAC that I need to put on my PC that is running Windows Vista, but when I plug it into the computer it does not appear in windows Explorer.  She appears as installed hardware and appears under Device Manager/disk management, but there is not a disk entrusted to him.  When I right click on it to assign a drive, this option is grayed out and I can't assign the driver.  Is this what can I do to access the external drive?

  Thank you

• External hard drives not appearing is not in Premiere Pro Media Browser

  Hi all!  My external drive are not displayed in Premiere Pro... and Yes, they worked very well yesterday.  The internal drives both appear, but the external drives are not accessible.

  At first, I thought maybe it was the reader (a new USB 3.0 which worked yesterday)... I tried to change the cable, change the disk, even a USB 3.0 drive change to a drive FW 800.  Doesn't appear on my desktop, as well as in other applications (including the 'other' edition platforms and After Effects) etc... but none are appearing in Premiere Pro.

  FWIW, I tried in the first Pro CC as well as Premiere Pro CS6.  I tried to restart the computer, creating new projects, hold down the option key while starting the first, using CS repair of digital rebellion... all to nothing does not.  Any thoughts?

  My system is a MacBook Pro (late 2011), 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 with 16 GB of Ram, Mac OS X 10.8.5 equipped

  Thanks in advance for any help.

• Portege R500: external monitor does not work with the Port Replicator Port 2 and DVI

  I have a Portege R500 running Vista with a slim Port Replicator II and digital monitor Viewsonic.
  I connected the monitor to the DVI port on the port replicator and got it to work OK.
  Press fn + F5 would switch between the computer screen and the external monitor.

  Then it stopped working, and I can't make it work at all. F5 recognizes just the laptop screen.

  If I connect an analog display, it is fine, and I can pass between the two screens without difficulty.

  The strangest thing is that, if I reboot when the Portege R500 is docked, the digital monitor begins by displaying the boot sequence, but then the signal is lost as soon as the screen stops the display of the progress (in low resolution) bar.

  I spent an hour on the phone to support Friday, and he made me nowhere.
  They finished by saying that he should never have worked! So what is the DVI port because then?

  Any ideas?

  David

  Connect your monitor directly to your laptop and see if it is recognized and you can go through FN + F5 between the two views.
  If it works, then connect with port replicator, and then try again.

  It's probably best if you reinstall display drivers. Maybe there are new too on the download page.
