• External hard disks do not appear in Windows Explorer

  I have Win 7 SP1 64 bit Home Premium. Recently, four external drives are not recognized in Windows Explorer, but show in disk device manager &. They all work well and are recognized in another PC. I have tried different methods to solve the problem without success. I unplugged all the USB ports and the power supply for the discs off the PC. After a reboot, one by one, I turned on the readers and attached to their USB cable. Plug & Play worked well and I could open the files in the first drive. The player showed in disk management, the Manager of devices and Windows.  As soon as I installed the second disc, one disappeared from the Windows folder but remained in Mgt of disc and Device Manager. It's the same thing when I installed the readers of 2nd, 3rd and 4th... After the shutdown of the PC and turn it back on, none of the drives show in Windows, but has shown in managing disks and Device Manager.

  I also tried Mr. Fixit. I uninstalled all the USB controllers. I activated turn on AutoPlay. Nothing has solved the problem! If she can be of any consequence or relevant to this problem, the internal drive in my PC now has been cloned from a smaller drive about a month ago. Any help to solve this frustrating problem would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks, Dave

• "My external hard drive does not appear in Windows Explorer and cannot open 'Help and Support', an error message" Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing.

  Original title:

  Everything was fine until yesterday. Juice now, when I plugged the external HD into the USB port it does not appear in the 'my computer' window. It is recognized by the computer as it is present on the list of the "Disk Clean Up" and it also appears when I click on ' Safe Remove Hardware ' on the taskbar. But if she does not appear in the 'my computer' window I can't work with it or don't even know what it I have arquived in it.

  Trying to find a solution, I realized that same 'information system' to 'System tools' is also not available. Pops up a window saying that "Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing enforcement. " To resolve this problem, start the service named help and Support '. OK, I tried to open 'Help and Support' ' Start Menu ' and the same window appeared again to "not have a system service that runs". I don't know what her soul precisely and I have not the slightest idea of what I need to do to correct this 'disappearance' of Service 'system '. There is nothing without the appearance of HD in the window of thw work? Everything else works fine and the calculation is virus-free. What should I do?

  Help: I opened LR to work on some files. The hard drive where the files are stored is attached. LR has always considered all the files it's supposed to.

• The computers on the LAN has disappeared from the Explorer on Win7 machine... other devices always there

  Small inter-office network with 7 machines, no server. Two other XP, WIN7 machines. All have already appeared on my workstation running WIN7-65. Today, I noticed that only the share on my workstation presents in the in Windows Explorer. Printers, scanner, fax, always there.

  I can connect through ftp, http and e-mail address of the computer that holds these programs and can ping all the machines successfully. But mounted network drives does not connect and, as I said, none of the other computers show in Explorer.

  I had problems with Windows Virtual PC - would install not the integration features. So I deleted and reinstalled. Then it loads the integration... features for a few days... now won't again. I also installed VMware with XP virtual PC. I disabled virtual machine network maps to see if there was any change. No change.

  I don't know when the computers on the LAN disappeared, because I had no reason to seek. I discovered that they were gone when a backup program could not set up a share on one of them.

  Anyone has any ideas, what can happen?

  Hello

  I suggest that you enable network discovery. Click on start-> Control Panel-> network and sharing Center, click on change settings for sharing advanced. Activate the option.

  If the problem persists, try to access another computer by entering \\computername in the box to start the search. Let us know if it works properly

  See you soon,.

• Why my disappear from Windows Explorer (the taskbar icon)?

  Eve since I got my computer Windows 7, the lower left of the taskbar was (from left to right):

  (a) Start button

  (b) Internet Explorer icon

  (c) a folder icon that would launch the Windows Explorer (for me to see my hard drives, flash memory sticks, etc. and all of their contents)

  Recently I did something - although I can't remember what - who has done away with (c) [(a) and (b) remain].

  What can I do to recover (c)?

  Yes, I went through several cycles of power-down/power-up and run antivirus s/w.

  Start | All programs | Accessories. Right click on Windows Explorer and Pin to the taskbar.

• External HARD disk PX1267E appears "Unallocated" in Windows 7

  Hello

  I have a problem with my external drive PX 1267E with password security.
  Given that I have connected to Windows 7, it no longer works.

  He's always asking the password enter the security data, but the disc is "unallocated" in windows Disk Manager.
  The 21 MB partition with the password on it is healthy and functioning, but the 298 GB of disk space is not allocated.
  I already tried to delete the password, but it does not help.

  I also tried to connect to a pc with windows XP again (as I've always done it before), but under XP, the drive is also not allocated now.
  How can I solve this problem and recover my data?

  Can someone help me?

• The 'Home' banner has disappeared from windows live mail how do I get it back

  How can I get the banner of home return to the opening page of windows live mail?

  Looks like you've cut the Ribbon.

  Open WLMail, along the upper left corner, you have some icons if you move the pointer over it, generally: new ' 'response', 'update all' 'customize the Quick Access toolbar. Click on 'Customize Quick Access toolbar' and at the bottom of the list, uncheck the box "cut the Ribbon".

  Hopefully that should get it back.

• Portege R830 - external HARD disk error - "target not found device.

  Hi all

  I recently bought a 1HD R830 which has windows 7 as its OS.
  I have a few old external hard disks that were formatted on windows vista.

  When I try to use it on my new computer it says "target not found device.
  I called support for the external hardrive, who said this is an incompatibility problem and that I would need to re format external hard drives (and therefore lose all about them unless I copied them on a compatible hard drive).
  Is this true?

  Rather than go through the hassle to copy all data to another hard drive is there a way to make my new computer compatible with the external hard drive?

  Your help is very appreciated.

  See you soon,.

• Boot from USB on satellite L30 external HARD disk

  Hello
  Is it possible to start Windows XP (pro, sp2) of the connected by USB external HARD drive enclosure?
  Previous issues suggest that it is not possible (officially), but we (http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=21996) says it is. I tried to search for the method mentioned, but with no results (perhaps because English is not my native language).
  It is very important for me, and I would be really grateful if someone could give me a hint.
  Second issue is on "more" before the start of the HARD drive option in the BIOS (Phoenix afair). Is suggesting that it is possible to connect the drive then a more - if so, then how? Inside the laptop, of course, he has no extra room...
  Thank you in advance!

  Hello

  > I tried to search for method mentioned, but without any result
  As the other threads already suggest it of not possible to boot from the external USB HDD. You can boot from the disk, CD/DVD, floppy drive, LAN.

  The external USB FDD can be connected to the laptop and you could start in the back of the diskette.

  By the way; This laptop does not support select the Bay and you cannot insert a second HDD
