"No disc" error when you try to access external hard drive...

I have a USB key that I use to record music files. Whenever I try to open it, but it was giving me an error that says:
"Windows - no disk. . There is no disk in the drive. Insert a disc into drive \Device\Harddisk\DR21.
DR numbers change of 5, 17, 19 and 21 now. I tried to change the drive letter from the center of disk management, but who doesn't. I also uninstalled the drive and then re-installed, also without success. I have not tried reformatting the drive yet, mainly because I don't have the ability to transfer files via. I am running Windows XP.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hello

2. do you update SP3 installed on the XP machine?

3. have you made changes on the computer recently?

Method 1.

Step 1.

Plug the USB device into another computer and check if the device works on this computer.

    I have been using a link on my site of doctors for centuries to order a prescription (it uses elbowspace) when I tried to order today I received the follwing message' Oops! This link seems broken. DNS error occurred. Server not found "." I contacted the surgery and they tell me that there is no problem. I can access my other sites OK. Any suggestions as to why this has happened?

    Hello

    Are you using a 3rd party firewall or anti-spyware?

    This is most probably the site causes the error, but you can try to reset your TCP/IP stack.

    Start command - in the search box type-

    at the top of the list to find COMMAND - CLICK RIGHT to it - RUN AS ADMIN

    Type the following commands (or copy and paste one at a time), each followed by pressing on enter.

    ipconfig/flushdns

    nbtstat-r

    nbtstat - RR

    netsh int Reinitialis

    netsh int ip reset

    netsh winsock reset

    RESET

    That resets your TCP/IP stack

    I hope this helps.

  • Stopper 0x000000F7 blue screen error occurs when you try to access the floppy drive.

    The error occurs on computers 3differnt.  Sometimes using "My Computer" to access the floppy drive.  Malware, spyware and viruses, the computer has been verified.  Clean everything. No new disk drivers listed.

    Tell us what you have done that you are convinced that it's clean... Here is a description of the error code in the Windows debugging tools help file:
    "Bug Check 0xF7: DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER.
    Bug Check 0xF7: DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER

    Bug DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER control has a value of 0x000000F7. This indicates that a driver has saturated a stack-based buffer.
     
    Parameters

    The following settings are displayed on the blue screen.
    Description of the parameter
    1 the battery's actual security check cookie
    2 the expected security check cookie
    3 the bit complement of the expected security check cookie
    4 0
     
    Cause

    A driver invaded a buffer based on the stack (or a local variable) in a way that would have replaced the function's return address and jumped to an arbitrary address when the function returned. »

    This is the classic "buffer overflow" attacks of piracy in my opinion. The system has been reduced to prevent a malicious user to take complete control of it.

    This is very probably a malware problem or a problem with a driver.  I suggest several anti-malware scans to make sure you are clean and then begin to check your drivers to see if there are some more updated versions available.

  • I get a page not found error when you try to access the files of creative cloud with a browser?

    The page will load and then get a page not found error. I can still access files using the office program and saying that they have synchronized. I tried to erase the cache, cookies and others, I've used other computers, browsers, and different browsers on different computers, clear the caches and data on establishments. I tried to change my password and log out, then log.

    Nothing works, my guess is that it has a file corrupted in my archives or it's a server problem. (an admin may permanently delete all my files?, nothing to important there)

    Anything to help.

  • When you try to partition my hard drive, we get an error "parameter" unknown or invalid

    I want to partition my hard drive of 200 GB to create a 30 GB partition to run Ubuntu. My OS is Windows XP Media Center Edition with Service Pack 3. I read online and loaded "Help and Support" and followed the instructions without success. When I try to use Windows to create the partition, I can't right click on the unallocated disk space to create a new partition. When I use the command prompt, it returns the message "unknown parameter or invalid" no matter what options I specify. Can you recommend a new approach?

    Your question is not quite clear to me. Your reader should all unallocated space? Normally readers aren't.

    Fear that there be any question of this as "unallocated" means, is the space that is not in any partition. It is * not * unused space in a partition.

    If you don't have unallocated space, you will need a third party program to create another partition.

  • How is it that we still have the ssl_error_weak_server_cert_key error when you try to access the Linksys routers?

    We had this error pop up in FF 32 and 33 and 34 FF fixed it. How is it that since FF38.1 returned error and even now with 40 FF, the error is still there. Why is no longer an exception option Add to these routers? Even some of the most recent always give this error.

  • Time Capsule turn off when you try to access

    1. I have a TC (A1409) with a WD Caviar 2 TB (replacing the HARD drive)
    2. Now, it stops when you try to access the HARD drive on my mac. I mean, it's on, green light, all ok and then I try to look for something on the HDD and it turned off.
    3. It does not work this way, at the beginning he worked just perfect!

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    FWIW, the 4th generation of Capsules of time had problems with their power supplies, specifically because of an overheating. This may not be directly related to your question; However, you use a replacement drive that may be overloading power of the TC.

    Given that the problem only occurs when access them the disk, which will rotate upward and consume more energy, may be the reason why you have this problem.

    I bought a computer window 8 in February of this year.  I use a lot of Word and Excel documents.  I don't know how I got hurt, but now I get the above error message.  Please someone know how to fix this?

    Hello

    I understand that you are getting the error documents. Library-ms' no longer works, when you try to access the files in the file Explorer.

    You can try the following method and check if that helps resolve the issue.

    Method 1: delete the document library.

    a. press the Windows key + E from the start screen.

    b. click on document library.

    c. Select Remove.

    d. click on Yes when it asks confirmation.

    Note: deleting of a library does not delete the contents of the included folders. However, you need to add or include your folders manually, if necessary.

    Method 2: you can follow the procedure to restore libraries.

    a. press the Windows key + E.

    b. right-click on the library.

    c. click on restore default library.
