• Restore files using external hard drive

  I have an external hard drive which has my files my desktop which is Windows 7.  This office has crashed and I need to put the files on my laptop that is Windows 8. Is this possible?

  Hi Julie,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  Yes, you certainly can restore all of your files from external HDD (HARD drive) to Windows 8 regardless of the version of Windows that we put them on earlier. If you have some backup software, you can restore the files using your favorite backup provided by the external HARD disk manufacturer software. If the data contain documents, images, or other media files, you can directly move files in the HARD drive files external to the library folders in Windows.

  Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.

• I broke my external hard drive and now it locked and disassembled?

  I just have a lot of questions here. After trying many things I found in a deeper hole.

  I use an external hard drive, it's a Seagate Backup Plus 1 TB external hard drive. It is formatted and partitioned, I did using the steps for me the Web of Seagate site, when I got it.

  I entered the hole, I'm right now because I had backup problems near the top of my photos of Lyve on my external drive. I think the reason why they would not return, it was because my drive was in offline mode in the "Status" section in Lyve, despite the fact that disk utility says the status of the disk is online. I researched and found out that this can happen if a.) the storage is full or b.) the wifi connection is bad or a connection is not available. When I opened my Seagate dashboard, I discovered that my drive was full, so I thought that was the reason. This made no sense to me because there was no way that I had somehow already packed 1 TB, I had saved only once and it is brand new. However, I deleted a ton of pictures I put in 'Lyve Import' and then allowed the trash. (I must have accidentally imported them several times, so the photos doubled several times or something because altogether they are 50 GB, 1 TB not...) That seemed to be the source because then my drive had 938 GB free!... But my drive was always in offline mode.

  So I refreshed, rebooted, unplugged and replugged, returned Wi - Fi works for Seagate Lyve and my computer. But my drive was still offline even though disk utility always says that it is online.

  Now, I'm still trying to find out why, it's that my drive has been appearing offline in Lyve when I used different Wi - Fi connections in different places and they all worked well, and I have lots of storage. One of the reasons is that the partition on my drive has still pictures of Lyve copied import, I had deleted, because there is almost no storage on this score somehow, I suspect. As you can see in the second photo, the score says he has only 16 MB of available space, and I somehow used GB 999. If it is the same as before, I don't know how to access this partition, and then delete them. It is a copy of all of these photos of Lyve Import? However...

  NOW, currently the main problem that prevents me from continuing to investigate on the previous question is: I had encrypted my external hard drive some time ago. After having annoyed having to enter a password long so many times because of the reopening and that to solve the problem 'offline', I've deciphered this hard drive clicking in the Finder by clicking Decrypt. I entered the password to do this, and have decrypted AFAIK because the password has been accepted. But now my drive says that it is locked and disassembled? What? It is shaded in the left sidebar of disk utility. It does not appear as a device plugged into the Finder. It's as if he is not yet here, but I can still access Lyve. From what I understand, my disc encryption would protect its ' content with a password. Decryption, it would mean that I wouldn't have to type a password to access? Seriously worried that I screwed to the top of something because I did not understand what the consequences would be here. In addition, why my player not appear when the score indicates the status of the disk is online?

  I have included pictures of both the disk and partition information, and what they look like now in disk utility. Previously, from what I remember, in the information section of my car he had about 948 GB available, was mounted and he said it was a logical Partition encrypted, if it is of no use. It does not display this information now because it is locked, correct? I did not delete anything?

  As you can tell, I didn't know what I was doing the same in the first place - and now, I'm stumped. Please bear with me on this because all of this formatting and partitioning, and editing and similar is confusing me, only knowledge I had performed since the steps provided in the forums or on Seagate and Lyve directions on their website. I really don't understand what that means anyway - I wasn't trying to screw around things just... Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

  

  

  

  ^ Note that this is what my Finder looks like now despite the fact that my external hard drive is connected. He always used to display the full drive Center 'FAVORITES' and 'TAGS' as a device that is currently connected, with the option to display its "table of contents or eject it.

  Update - I managed to solve this problem using this forum:

• Windows 10 on pc itunes is on pc but my CD is on an external hard drive and I want to keep them there, but how can I get itunes to use does them everyone please have a fool proof statement

  I need to download iTunes to use my CD which is on an external hard drive and would like to keep on it. Please can someone tell me just how to do this

  My advice make a library of portable split is a general guide, but as such, it has all sorts of details that you may not need.

  I guess you have previously installed iTunes such as library files were in the usual place of C:\Users\ < user > \Music\iTunes but the media were on an external drive, for example in X:\ < Media folder >, and no longer have access to the old library, or are perhaps new to iTunes, then so be it you will need to start over again. If, then hold down the SHIFT key when you launch iTunes. Keep now until you see a prompt to create or choose a library. Click on create and make a new library at the root of the external drive, i.e. as X:\iTunes , where X is the drive letter of the external drive. Once this operation is complete, use Windows Explorer to move the existing media folder within the X:\iTunes\iTunes Media, rename the folder that you moved as say other media to avoid any possible confusion in the future, select the menu with Ctrl + B bar and use file > add folder to library, to import the file to other media in the library. Will everything that iTunes adds to the library be shuffled around. All that remains in the other media will be happy that iTunes does not know what to do with such incompatible media or album art carried out by Windows Media Player. You can sift throigh this, take what you want and use replacements for all players what you keep.

  If you need me to explain it further, do not hesitate to ask.

• cannot use external hard drive 1 TB for readyboost

  can I use my 1 TB WD external hard drive (fat32) for readyboost... I have win 7 home premium (64-bit) & 2 GB of RAM right now I get a message saying that this device (1 TB drive) cannot be used for readyboost... but I can easily use readyboost when I insert my 4GB kingston USB...

  To see the true performance increases you'd be better by upgrading the amount of RAM you have. I am surprised that you have Windows 64 bit with only 2 GB of RAM...

• What is an I / Q error? This occurs with the backups using external hard drive SeaGate

  We have two external hard drives; a 3Terabyte (don't know how it) Seagate and another whose name escapes me. On the Seagate, I get the message: backup did not complete due to I / Q error. What is I / Q error and how to fix this? If all goes well, not a complicated process.

  Thanks for any help. Hope I selected the areas to fix this, below.

  Fred, SR.

  Win7 64 bit, Office 2010

  Hello

  I assumed that by I / Q error you mean error e/s? Run chkdsk on the drive Seagate:

  Start > Search bar > type cmd right click and select run as administrator

  High CMD should now be open, type the following:

  CHKDSK x: /r

  x involves the reader of your letter, so if your hard drive in question is the letter c, it would be:

  CHKDSK c: /r

  Restart the system and allow to run chkdsk.

  Kind regards

• Renamed the external hard drive and now 5 Lightroom can't locate photos that were underway

  My husband uses Lightroom 5.  All of his pictures are saved and imported from an external hard drive.  Today it has renamed the hard drive, and later, when he went to the room open light, it does not find who he had worked on the picture.  Photos and those that it has exported are still on the hard drive, but he was still editing are not displayed.  Any ideas?

  Because Lightroom uses the hard real path for images, change the name of HD has broken this link. The best way to restore the link is to go in the library, make a right click (control click on Mac) the folders on the left side and select the location of the update folder. If the images are in a closed file as the top-level folder (recommended) digital capture needs updating. If there is a lot of files, then you will need to update each record separately...

• Why my external hard drive appears twice in Lightroom?

  My folders to Lightroom 6 are broken down into '2015' and "2016." However, under the section of the folders on the left, it lists my external hard drive twice, by 2015 one of them and 2016 in another. It wasn't a big deal, but when I went back and added the "Oct" file in 2015, he put it under the folder 2016 for some reason any. Folder does not exist "Oct" less 2016 on my hard drive, just in the case of 2015.

  I tried to move it and it won't let me (because, ironically, it is said there is already a file named "Oct" that exist - I know there are, that's why I want to move it where it belongs!) ». I don't understand what is happening. Very frustrating. Should I delete something and try again? Thank you

• External hard drive to upgrade to El Capitan - big mistake! How to uninstall it?

  I don't have a lot of space on my macbook, it gives the possibility, I put the upgrade on my external hard drive. Serious mistake. I can't uninstall - can anyone help?

  Do you mean that you have installed El Capitan on the outside so that you can now start the external in El Capitan or you can't find the Setup file of El Capitan? If the first case, simply erase the external. If the latter, while the outside might be the target for the installation, the installer would always be in the Applications folder on the drive you started from, probably while downloading internally. You'd look in the Applications folder to "install OS X El Capitan."
