  Try using a different location on the map. Also try using another SATA cable with two slots.

• How to transfer my photos on a removable drive

  My photos are in the windows photo gallery and I just need to put them on my drive removable usb and I do not know how?

  My photos are in the windows photo gallery and I just need to put them on my drive removable usb and I do not know how?

  First of all, please note that 'download' is really the right term. What you want to do is * copy * (or move) the files to the removable disk.

  Secondly, the fact that the files are images is irrelevant.

  Thirdly, the fact that the drive is connected by USB and removable is also irrelevant.

  So what you want to do is copy the files to a location on your computer to another. There are several ways to do so and the two most common are the copy - paste and drag - move.

  Here's what I recommend: open Windows Explorer or my computer and navigate to the folder wjhere your photos are stored. Open Windows Explorer or my computer again, then navigate to the removable drive. Resize and reposition the two windows, so they are all two visible. Select the files you want to copy (if you want all, click on in this window, and then press Ctrl + A). Then right-click-move them to another window. You will be asked whether if you want to copy or move. Choose the one you want.

• Error "insert a disk in the removable drive.

  I just bought an external hard drive (Toshiba alu 2.5) and plugs in via USB. In 'My computer', it shows as removable disk (f :)). When I try to open the drive it shows "insert a disk in the removable drive. I tried to rename the drive to a different letter using disk management and also tried to uninstall and reinstall and download the drivers. I can do something very stupid, but I can't find answers!

  I think it's a hardware problem with the device and you should requst a replacement around where you bought it.  If we get the same problem, I frankly don't know what to do because these devices are so easy to install that any error must be with the itsellf of the unit (or the ability of Vista to recognize for what it is, but leads to a problem of compatibility or some other problem that I can't even imagine).

  Let me know how it goes.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Save the photos on a removable drive.

  I am trying to send photos on a removable drive, drive 'I '. I get an error message "error 0 x 80070052 cannot create the directory or file.»  How can I fix it?

  Note: My first attempt to send photos to this album was successful. I try to send another batch of photos and I get this error message. There is enough space on the removable disk.

  The error you mention usually appears when too of
  files copied to the root directory of the drive.

  Simple solution is to create folders to copy the files in.

  You may need to delete some files to make room for

  I know that I used to get this symbol "remove hardware" only when I plug the Flash drive or disk external DRIVE on USB port, no other readers have been connected on this machine now.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

• Computer will not recognize Pro Duo or removable drives.

  Computer Vista will not read my Pro Duo chip, or it will show all removable drives except ROM USB where I have an optical mouse wirelesss connected (when I check my computer).  The import wizard shows only a USB where prior that he showed, f, g, h, etc.

  Thank you.

  Thank you for these two answers, unfortunately the first did not work, and the second deals with USB.  The computer will not recognize any location chip memory, they do not appear on the Import Wizard, or MY computer.  The only two drives that appear are drive C and drive J, which is where I have a wireless mouse hooked up.   Just before this problem I had... and still not... a bottom of screen message "one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned... Click this message for more information."  The only connected usb is the mouse, and it works fine.  Solutions that deal with USB issues aren't really questions I have, except that in the future (if the problem remains) USB ports do not appear on my computer either.  Someone who has some said knowledgge I need to re - map the hard drive, or something?

  I really appreciate the time you people consume with it.  Any other ideas?

• Why do I need to format a removable drive if there is data already stored on it?

  Data storage on this removable disk for some time and now all of a sudden I'm invited to the drive must be formatted to be accessible and all data will be erased.

  [Moved from comments]

  Hi, V. Frank Zito.

  Something caused a problem of compatibility or error on your USB. Ill remove the USB key or a damaged file can cause such a problem. When this situation occurs, you don't have any choice but to format the USB (also called a flash or USB drive).  Formatting it will restore State "by default".

  You can insert the disc and try to drag your files in a folder on your pc before doing the repair.

  Hello

  Have you checked if the other USB devices do recognize on the computer?

  Method 1:

  I suggest you to go through the steps mentioned in the link and the Coachman.

  A computer that is running Windows XP cannot detect a USB, an Apple iPod flash drive or an external hard disk drive

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/925196

  Method 2:

  (a) go to my computer

  (b) right click PROPERTIES

  (c) Device Manager

  (d) scroll down to the bottom, where it says UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS CONTROLLER.

  (e) right click 2 or 3 (depending on the number of ports (USB a computer)

  (f) HUB USB root > Uninstall --> CONFIRM DEVICE UNINSTALL and click OK

  Hope this helps and keep us posted.
