• You can use an external hard drive with the Mac Mini?

  I've seen videos that say that we cannot increase the ram on a min of Mac, but I'm curious if this works like an ordinary computer, if we can attach an external hard drive to store some of the memory to free up space. Sorry if this is something stupid just need to know what I can do with it.

  You can use an external hard drive to boot and run with any Mac. Its not going to improve or replace your ram. If you use a mechanical hard drive in any Mac then help and boot from an external drive, especially if it's a SSD will be significantly faster.

• Reference Dell E1505 laptop - not recognizing external hard drive

  I bought a Dell Inspiron E1505 year last with Windows Vista and just bought an external hard drive laptop ( http://www.toshibastorage.com/main.aspx?Path=StorageSolutions/ConsumerStorageProducts/NewUSBPortableExtHardDrive ) from Toshiba a few days ago.

  My Inspiron E1505 does not recognize the drive.  I went to the Device Manager and the Toshiba drive does not appear.  However, the Toshiba portable external hard drive is recognized by my new laptop Dell XPS with Windows Vista.  I called Toshiba tech support and they said there is a problem with the operating system does not recognize the hard drive.  Anyone know how to solve this problem so that my Inspiron E1505 will recognize the Toshiba portable external hard drive?  The drivers are built into the Toshiba external hard drive so tehre are no drivers to download.

• Windows 7 backup and restore not recognizing external hard drives

  My laptop recognizes the drives external hard and other storage devices and I can read and manually copy files, etc for them. But the backup and restore told me that nothing is connected when I try to run it. Also, when I connect the external hard drive to a USB port, the menu that is displayed does not include the option of backup of the device just connect. Is there a setting I need to change in the backup and restore program? Or is there another solution that everyone is aware of it please?

  Hi Sally,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand that the backup and restore does not recognize the external hard drive, but Windows doesn't. I'll be happy to help you with your query. Let me ask you;

  1. Is - this happy with all external hard drives or individual?
  2. What kind of backup are trying to create, auto or manual?
  3. You did it recently no specific changes in the computer?

  There may be several reasons why backup & restore does not recognize the external hard drive. Let's check out the steps below.

  Step 1: Connect the device to a USB (Universal Serial Bus) and a different test.

  Step 2: You can check if the services responsible for the backup of restoration & work or not.

  Volume Shadow Copy and backup of Windows service.

  To check the services, you can follow the procedure.

  (a) click Start.

  (b) in the Search tab, type Services.msc , and then press Efriendship.

  (c) now in the services window, locate Windows Backup service and Volume Shadow Copy services. Check if they are started.

  Note: Check the services separately, and then close the Services window.

  Step 3: Run the next Fixit and check if the disc is recognized.

  Click here to launch the Fixit.

  Step 4: You can try to temporarily disable the security software of the computer and check with the question. Later, re-enable the security software.

  See: , disable the anti-virus software

  Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attack.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

• Not ready external hard drives after reboot

  You have a weird question, or perhaps I should say one on that I can't find something. I've dealt with it for years and finally had enough of it. Rarely, I restart my Mac, do not need, is not something that happens often. But on the question.

  I have an iMac of 2015, internal SSD, or merge, I suppose, and a couple of external hard drives attached. Both are 4TB readers, by USB (for backups) and FireWire (for data, applications, iTunes library, photos, etc.). Both work perfectly during normal use.

  The question is when I reboot. My hunch is that these external drives are not fill their mental health checks / faster the drive internal system files, and when the OS is logged in, all the stuff on my external drives (in this case, my iTunes library) is not found. Of course, everything I do is point iTunes to the external drive and everything is fine (well, that and tell him where to find my wallpaper because it doesn't by default mountain landscape photo!).

  So I'm wondering - is there a way to delay the start of the BONE or the final control until external drives are online? Not a huge problem, but why not. I'm tired of fixing stuff when I reboot. Or else, is something to not configured right and the cause? Hmm.

  What do you say?

  Try to connect the external disk after reboot completed if he could climb.

• laptop will not allow new hard drive

  Laptop HP 2000-2b19WM will not again take hard drive, no parameters in Bios to allow to change the SATA or IDE drives I activated the legacy... support any help would be appreciated...

  OK, that makes sense. Starting with Windows 8 key Code is built into the BIOS. If you could get an OEM of Windows 8 drive you can install it and it just works (activate) without needing a key Code.

  And if she has had 10 Windows activated on this subject, you can reinstall Windows own 10 and it will activate only as soon as it is connected to the internet.

• How can I make external hard drive, the restore points for windows 7

  Dear experts,
  My laptop Dell Studio 1558, pieces of 7,64 edition windows Home premium. I want to use external drive hard/Pen drives to achieve and many restore points. I have seagate Free Agent GoFlex 320GB.andTranscend JetFlash Pendrives 16 GB external hard drive. Is it possible to do in both of these external gadgets, restore points? Please specify the procedures in detail.
  Thank you very much.

  We must be clear on what you mean by "Restore Point."

  If by a restore point that you refer to the small key files backup made before a system change, it must be stored in the folder System Volume Information hidden on the hard disk the file is actually required, you can't edit this storage point (usually drive c :)). The only option you have is to set the amount of space to reserve for this purpose. Once you have defined, which then restore points are organized on a FIFO basis where when the space is too full for a new restore point the oldest is deposited.

  The alternative is going to be an image of the system. This will obviously be very wide for each backup, so if you want to do a number then you consider doing incremental backups. This way to make a complete and regular backup then or event based backup only the files that have changed. These backups are also defined as available points in the system restore utility.
