  You can add another drive to accept backups Time Machine... assuming it is correctly formatted for Mac to Mac OS extended (journaled), but things are not exactly "continue."

  You have not indicated if you intend to add the player to the USB port on the Time Capsule, or connect directly to your computer using USB or FireWire connections. Or the other method works, with the option to connect directly to the computer being the faster connection.

  Once the disc is added, you would go in Time Machine preferences (click the "clock" at the top of the screen on your Mac) to add the disk for Time Machine backups and delete the old Time Capsule disk, since backups will go is no longer this destination.

  Since you have a new drive, Time Machine will do a new full backup of your Mac and then go forward with incremental backups.

  Hi TinmanSav,

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1: Run the hardware and devices Troubleshooter and see if it makes a difference.

  Open the hardware and devices Troubleshooter

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-hardware-and-devices-Troubleshooter

  Method 2: I suggest you disable and re-enable the USB controller and check.

  Use Device Manager to disable and re-enable all the USB controllers. This allows controllers to recover the port USB of his condition does not respond. USB controllers represent the USB ports in Device Manager.

  To disable and re-enable the USB controllers, follow these steps:

  e. restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically check for changes on the hardware and reinstall all USB controllers that you uninstalled.

  f. check the USB device to see if it works.

  Method 3: Check if the external hard drive is recognized in disk management and assign a drive letter to the same.

  To open disk management, follow these steps:

  ·         Click Start, type disk management in the start search box and press enter.

  If the drive is detected in disk management, I suggest you to assign a drive letter and see if that does the trick.

• Toshiba 500 GB external HARD drive is no longer detected - after only 1 hour

  Hey,.

  I finally got my Toshiba 500 GB external hard drive delivered today. I had no problem setting up and to turn my laptop on, it immediately recognized and I started to transfer things for her.

  However, I accidentally stood on the USB cable to the HARD drive and disconnected. I plugged it in, but my computer did not recognize.

  Nothing I've tried has worked, always, the laptop does not recognize the hard drive.

  Please help, I've only had the one hour thing, and it already does not work! I really hope that I have not only lost £56...

  All advice is appreciated, thanks in advance.

  NEW: My father just tried plugging the HARD drive in the desktop PC is on the ground, and as soon as the USB when it is in the port, you stop the computer... causing him to lose a lot of important business email, he wrote. It starts the computer, the USB and you stop again... and this has happened 3 times until he gave up. What on Earth is wrong with this thing? I've never heard of a USB cable, stop a computer permanently, or a hard drive that does more after an hour of use...

  The USB port on the HARD drive may have been damaged and may be causing the PC detect a short power.

  You can try another USB cable? If it is not the cable, then the HARD drive should be sent to a Service Center for repair or replacement.

• I bought a 500 GB external hard drive and did a full system backup. Then he told me that I need a floppy disk? After backup system restore was complete. What?

  I had a scare last week and thought that my computer crashed.  In the end, everything was fine, but I decided I had to do a full backup of the system.  Bought 500 GB external hard drive.  Full backup of the system ran through the performance Wizard mode & maint.  When finished, he gave me a saying of the warning, something like "insert a diskette to run the system restore" something like that.  Does this mean that if I have a major failure which is on the external hard drive is null and avenue?  Floppy?  What is everything?

  The disk is a boot disk that is used to access the backup files.

• Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?

  Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?  The bios is version v3.26, and the operating system is XP with SP3.  40 gig HD is full and you are looking to replace it but do not know what the size limit is with this bios version.

  Here are the specifications of your HP Pavilion a705w desktop. This is based on the assumption that you converted the 5 and 0 and the fact that you mentioned a 40 GB hard drive.

  You already have the most current version of the BIOS of your computer and running the most recent service pack of Windows XP. Your computer and the operating system should support a drive of 500 GB without problem. The only problem is that your computer isn't any SATA ports, only 66/100 IDE (PATA). Look at local retailers and online for the IDE drives.

• Imation Apollo HDD 2.5 "500 GB external hard drive

  I try to use my Apollo 2.5 HDD 500 Gb external hard drive. It is impossible to open it from my different computers. Paolo diferent cannot recognize the mentioned device. Can you please help me with this problem?

  Thanking you in advance

  Raul,

  Let's start at the beginning... Do you hear rattling noises when you connect your HD on your computer? If you have more likely your hard drive is physically damage and usually there is not an easy way to fix this. Some people have reported that changing the controller, that fixed it for them. Others have reported that, by opening the envelope and connect directly without cable who fix it for them (to actually buy a USB to IDE kit. Amazon has a lot for about $6). I don't think that the problem are the ports on your computer because you have tried on different computers. The next suspect is the cable.  Make sure the cable you connect your device to the computer working. Try it with a cable that you know works. Once you have check that and still Win can not detect your hard disk, check to see if the BIOS can detect. I don't know how you can access your BIOS on your computer, but is usually by hitting F2 or ESC or F1. Check the screen when your computer starts and yous should see a message on a button to change the BIOS or settings. Once more, when you're in the BIOS, there no way course right to know all your hard drives connected. Just look around and see if you can find it (do not change any settings here. You could make your computer unusable). If the BIOS can detect your hard drive, then it is time to do some work on the victory.
  -Click Start.
  -Type diskmgmt.mscand press ENTER.
  -See if you can find it there. Typically, your internal hard drive is described as disk 0. Your external should be disk 1.
  -Right click on it and find an option that says Create partition or Format.

• Configuration of USB 2 external 500 GB USB hard drive problems

  Hello gentlemen.

  I recently acquired a disk hard external 500 GB USB part number PX1269E - 1 50.
  I have some problems with the configuration of USB 2.0 in windows XP. When I connect it to a usb 2.0 port, I get the message "USB HDD high speed plugged into a hub non-hi-speed usb", and the unit remains low-speed (12 Mbps) USB. (I checked the port with an another usb 2.0 device and the port works correctly in usb 2.0 mode).
  I checked the PXI1269E - 1 50 in other PCs and I have same results. I can't make it work in USB 2.0 mode. I also have some problems with the virtual CD that is always present when you insert and mount partition. There is a way to remove it?

  I only use the hard drive for data backup every day, and I don't want to use any other drive letters in my system.

  The main PC is an ASUS P4P800-E deluxe with windows XP SP2 fully implemented to update and build in the USB 2.0 controller intel.

  Best regards

  DA P

  I have connected the 500 GB HDD (PX1269E - 1 50) to my Satellite M40 and it works fine. It works with USB 2.0.
  Guys, I think there is something wrong with the controller software or the registry is damaged. Maybe an update is necessary.

  PS: I have not installed the additional software on the supplied CD. The operating system automatically acknowledged.

  @parabolix: using SP1. Try to install whole MS and SP2 updates.

• Pavilion 500-098: adding hard drive, but no 2nd hard drive Bay

  I want to add a second internal hard drive to this computer, but unfortunately the computer has only a hard drive Bay. There is plenty of space for a second hard drive, I thought that I would put the player in the unused space, setting in place somehow so that it does not move. I know I could install an external hard drive, but prefer to have an internal hard drive. The power supply has a supplement of power supply (unused) harddrive.  The motherboard is a Joshua-H61-Μatx. It has 4 SATA connections on it.  SATA0 is connected to the hard drive, SATA2 is connected to the DVD player. SATA1 and SATA3 are free. My idea of adding a second hard drive without a second HDD Bay would work?

  Hi Mike,.

• My C: space guard shrinks even with an external 500 GB of HARD drive.

  I have an older Sony desktop with XP.  I had to go back from of-the-factory-State a couple of times and start all over again, but since the last time the space on my C: drive disappeared at a rapid pace.  I put a lot of programs on external hard drive and also placed a large number of photos there as well.  No indication as to where's my free space?  I'm still learning about computers.

  I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, and place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

  You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.

  The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous. I have them would be reduced by 700 MB. Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output. When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

  A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. Setting the default value is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change. At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

  The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough. In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

  If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive. In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc. These files can be compressed or not compressed. If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue. If these files are not compressed you can compress. Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space. On the general tab, you can see the winning amount by deducting the size on disk size. File compression is only an option on an NTFS formatted disk partition / partition.

• Cannot add Raw Device Mapping as hard drive

  Hello

  We have 2 Server 2008 Virtual Machines (which are clustered) that make up a Cluster 2 node x.  The ESX servers that organize these VMs (ESX Server different on each) are connected to a San.  When I place these two VMs, I could add a hard drive "Raw Device Mapping" without problem - he could see data warehouses, I had Setup on the SAN.  However when I try to add a hard drive "Raw Device Mapping" on the 2 new virtual machines, the only options I have are:

  -Create a new virtual disk

  -Use an existing virtual disk

  Any ideas why Raw Device Mappings is greyed out?

  You add the second node RDM disk by selecting "use an existing virtual disk".  The ability to add RAW devices is only available for RAW LUN which has already been mapped to a virtual machine.

  When you add the ROW to the first node, a mapping for the RDM vmdk file was created. It's that developed from the second node.
