  External USB hard drives lose its connection and work stoppages.

  History

   
  Windows 7 Ultimate - 64-bit
  I installed it on a HP Pavilion, OS, 64-bit, and I have this problem.
  People report that it does not occur with Windows 7 32 bit OS.

  Problem:
  Any brand of external hard drive USB (and other USB devices sometimes) lose its connection and stops working only when copying large files internal drive to external USB drives.
  The USB device may appear to work properly when Windows first starts, but later stops working (crashes computer) after the start of large files to copy. You must restart Windows for the USB is working again.
  This only occurs when you copy files large files to THE USB port, not on the internal drive. It happened when I synicing my IPhone with Itunes when it started the synchronization of music files.

  According to the suggestions I have:
  1) updated the BIOS from the websites of the manufacturers.
  (2) power management disabled on the USB hub for disks
  (3) ensure that the BIOS for Legacy USB is set to.  I don't have this option in the BIOS settings.
  (4) this is not a motherboard problem, it is located on three different MB that we use.
  Also tried three different USB drives and different cables.

  Because I tested with two different computers updated and USB drives, our opinion is that this problem indicates that the Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

  Someone knows a solution?

• Connect to airport extreme USB hard drive

  I have a drive external hard Iomega LDHD-UP that I want to connect to my Airport Extreme (running the 7.6.4)... version but I can't seem to do.)

  Currently, the airport is set up as a bridge to my Verizon Fios router.  It all works very well.

  The instructions from Apple don't seem to help me, because I do not have "Airport disk utility" - only "Airport utility" - and I'm hit a roadblock there.
  (Airport: how to mount a volume of Airport Extreme USB hard drive in Mac OS X and Windows - Apple Support)

  Normally, I can understand something like this, I thought I would ask for help rather than making circles for another hour.

  Any advice?  Thank you.

  OK, so I read all the info in this article,where to get the Airport disk utility >

  ... and I now know that 'The airport disk utility' is no longer (and does not have the article I cited above), but I'm not even see my drive hard when it is connected to the Airport Extreme.

• AC2400 (E8350) router cannot map USB hard drive in Windows network.

  Hi all

  I recently bought the Linksys AC2400 wireless router and a USB 3 Western Digital Elements 2 TB hard drive.

  The network works perfectly, except for the USB hard drive. The firmware on the router recognizes it okay, but in the windows network, I can't access your hard drive. I simply get a path not found error.

  I tried:

  Y access inside or outside Windows Homegroup.

  -Re - formatting in the linksys configuration (Fat32... There is room for improvement)

  -Test the USB drive directly into the PC, works perfectly and formatted in NTFS.

  -Turn off all firewalls.

  -Tried the port USB2/Esata instead of the USB3

  Also, from another computer on the network, I get the same error.

  Pre-installed on the hard drive was a mediaserver program called Twonky. He wants autoconnet to my router using port 9000, but the web interface I get then does nothing. Also when I enable the mediaserver configuration linksys website, he created a mediaserver in windows network, wth pilots twonk. But I can't change that.

  When I test the ftp server, I had access to the hard drive without any problem. This suggests that it is not a compatibility problem.

  I could also map the Windows ftp server, but that does not work on my mediaplayer, I need for this network interface.

  Does anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong and why windows is unable to connect to your hard drive?

  I didn't install the new version of firmware, because the changelog mentions nothing about the functions of the USB or storage.

  I've added a few photos with the settings, it could be useful.

  THX in advance for any response.

• WRT610N updated firmware, USB hard drive no longer works

  Hi all

  Thanks in advance for any help you may have.  I noticed a few people have had this problem, so maybe there is a difficulty.  I updated the firmware to Ver.1.00.02.10 because the release notes, said that it had improved the function USB hard drive.  I've updated the firmware, which is is held reset, pedaled power button, restored my setup, replugged my USB drive & lit.  I am still unable to access the USB drive.  It shows not only upward.

  My hard drive is a Maxtor One Touch 750 GB, works perfectly when it is directly attached.  I have 2 PC (one connected via gigabit and either through N), both works very well.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you so much in advance.

  When you upgrade the firmware of your router, you must reset your router and reconfigure the settings on it once again, do not restore the Configuration of return still file once on your router. Just reconfigure a fee net settings on your router. That might solve your problem.

• How can I change hard drive icon images?

  I have a strange problem that has just occurred in Windows 7.

  I have several hard drives internal and 1 external hard drive.  The external hard drive has always had its own unique icon and internal hard drives all have the same icon image.

  But somehow, the external drive now has an image of the icon of an internal hard drive, and my biggest drive, a HD 1.5 TB, shows the icon used previously by the external hard drive.

  I can't understand why this happened, or how to redefine the way it was.  Don't pose any problem of performance, its just confusing because I saw this image external drive so long I'll automatically for the picture if my computer or Explorer and now that means that I often select the wrong drive.

  I click on properties > customize and select change image folder, then select a hard drive icon I want for each player, but he never changes the icon.  And I'm pointing to an appropriate *.ico icon image file.

  Anyone has any ideas on this issue?

  Thank you.

• Is it safe to remove a USB hard drive or flash drive when my PC is suspended?

  Suppose that I used my USB hard drive or flash drive.  Now suppose the PC goes to sleep or I deliberately suspended (after which the green light on my hard drive turns off).  Is it now OK to disconnect the device from the USB connection?  Or I have to wake up the PC and go through the procedure of "eject" explicit to remove safely?  You can assume that no files don't care don't is open for output on the disk when the suspension occurs.  (I can't represent some of the things that the OS can be done on a regular basis.)  I could in theory (and unintentionally) open a file media for playback and made a break at a time where the OS hangs.

  (I always assumed that, when you go to sleep, the BONE empty buffers and otherwise puts files in safe States, as it would have on explicit 'eject'.)  However, my research on this issue have never turned up an explicit answer, so I've always played it safe.  However, the scenario I describe is common for me, and it would be more convenient if the suspension is that it is safe.  It's a HTPC across the room, so suspend and then unplug is much easier that awaken (possibly), eject, get up, disconnect, go back, suspend and finally go away.  I wonder whenever I'm doing it the "hard".  "I want to know.)

  I doubt that the answer depends on the OS; but, if so, please say how it may be different, that I also have a desktop XP machine.

  No, put the computer to sleep does not these "flush" or "eject" actions. Files that are open and active are both suspended - that is, to remove all media while the computer sleeps is a risky operation.  You can, for example, to sleep or hibernate a computer in the middle of a software installation, it is clear at this point are activities that could cause more read/write operations once the computer wakes.

• VMHost and USB hard drive?

  Is it possible to setup a VMHost to access a USB hard drive? VMHost running ESXi 5.0.

  Still not clear as to why you need to do. It may be possible, but I don't think that's how VDP was intended to be used.

  Here are the steps you should try:

  • Mount the USB drive to the host and make sure that it is not 'automatically' for use by the VMs.
  • Locate the VMDK with backup files.
  • Determine the size of the VMDK.
  • Determine if there is enough space on the USB drive to the file system.
  • Create a VMFS5 file on the USB system.
  • If the USB and the VMDK are visible both from the vSphere client, copy the VMDK to the USB port.
  • If it is not visible from the customer vShpere, use the tools of command line (vmkfstools, CLI power) to copy or clone the VMDK on the USB.

  This seems too real similar work, isn't it?

  Given that the amount of disk space available for the device .5TB is 850 GB, it won't probably enough space on a USB drive, if you have been backing up virtual machines for any amount of time.  An SSD or a SATA hard drive would be more likely to have sufficient capacity.

  If you succeed to move the files to a USB/SSD/HD, what would be your next step?

  If you move the files, wouldn't be simpler to use Storage vMotion?
