• Computer laptop 15-f211wm Mod #L0T32UA: USB external HARD disk and laptops not detected but used to be

  My USB ports do not seem to work properly.  I used to be able to plug in my external hard drive and mobile phone to transfer files, but now I can't.  In the DEVICE MANAGER of the laptop, nothing seems to be wrong, no red or yellow warning.  However, the USB ports DO not seem to power the devices, my cell phone goes into charge mode and my HDD Seagate you can feel it vibrate slightly.  There are two USB ports on the left side and one on the right, and all three can not detect devices.  Help, please.

  HERE IS a GUIDEto solving the problems of USB such as described in the post.  See if any of these help.  As you have posted in the notebook section, when you do that a single step to cripple, also remove the battery after the computer shuts down, unplug charger, too.  Then hold the power button for at least 30 seconds before feeding back.

  BTW: have you tried to delete all things under the rubric of the USB in the Device Manager, then reboot to allow Windows to reinstall the USB ports?

• Cannot install programs that have been loaded on external hard disk as says none found CD/DVD

  Original title: load the program from the hard drive (HD)

  I loaded all my programs of their CD/DVD on an external hard drive, I just copied the CD and everything is happy.  On some programs, it does not allow the installation of the HD and says: no disc found.  Can I redirect the programs to install from my external hard drive on my computers HD?

  This is based entirely on install of the how these programs were written.  In some cases they install from other than a DVD or CD, in others they do not.  Only those who have implemented these programs can respond.  If you have tried, and they do not work, you have two choices.  You can get the drive and install, or you can try to convince the company that puts it out of their programs to change.  Good luck with this last alternative.  :-)

• "Hard drive - (3F0) BootDevice not found" after deleting Windows

  Hello.

  I have a ProBook s 4530 accompanying pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium. I'm a Linux user for a long time, so the first step that I took after the purchase was reducing the OS partition and install Arch Linux on the free space created. I used the laptop in this configuration for something like a year now, but since I rarely even start on Windows, I decided to save free space by deleting them entirely. You use cfdisk, I deleted their partitions.

  After a short time (about a day), I got off the machine, and I found a few old labelless CD I wanted to inspect. I started the calculated and inserted in the drive. It was obvious that it was a Windows XP installation CD, so I turned off the computer (before it has completed the phase of loading drivers).

  (It is likely that the previous paragraph is unrelated to the error message, because the installation should not even touch the disk at this stage.) I also do not restart often, so I'm not sure that makes the computer startup between the removal of the partition and start the Windows XP CD.)

  The next time I tried to start the PC, I was greeted with "Hard Disk - BootDevice (3F0) not found." All HP diagnostics were OK, and when I loaded GRUB on a live Ubuntu CD to my hard drive, it starts normally.

  I admit the BIOS could be confused in some way by the partition table I, it starts with lots of free space and has no NTFS partitions, but I think that BIOS should not depend on the OS that I run. So, I have a few questions:

  1. The HP BIOS is trying to detect Windows, and it doesn't do anything differently if it does not find Windows hard disk? I googled around and did not find anyone with experience running as Linux on my laptop (just dual-boot).
  2. If so, is there some way I could convince them to begin the hard drive even through it is not Windows on it?

  Thank you.

  Then he turns the laptop was confused because no partition has been marked as active. My bad.

• 'Built by HARD disk error' in Portege R200

  Hello

  My Portege R200 shows "built-in HARD disk error" start-up. " In the BIOS screen, it says "no drive" on the HARD drive.

  What should I do? I checked the connection and the drive is connected to the fine. I heard no noise when starting.
  Is this HARD drive problem? or maybe motherboard? Help!

  Lee

  The HARD disk rotates upward?

  Try resetting the BIOS to default settings.

  Other than that, I think that it's not just you can do except send the laptop to a repair center.

• OS can not find Gigastore external HARD disk.

  Hello
  I have a problem with my new Gigastore external HARD drive.
  I have a windows 2000 and the operating system can not find the Gigastore external HARD disk.
  One of the systemrequires is that it is compatible with Windows 2000.

  Thank you for your help.

  Sincerely
  Luis

  You don't give much info.
  I would first go in "Device Manager" and check that there is not a question mark with "unknown device" beside him. If this is the case, highlight it and delete it, unplug your HARD drive and restart your computer. Check the Device Manager again, you will need to repeat the process without the connected HARD drive. Then follow the instructions of the manufacturer install the driver. In some cases, you will need to plug it in the first place, in others, first install the driver. The order is important.

• After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer

  After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

  [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) viaControl Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of NIS 2011 (using your product ID, if need be) & reboot. CF. http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

  Help, please...

  Hi dynamitenews

   

  1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
  2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

   

  You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

  Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.
  
  BIOS WARNING-
  Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

   

  I hope this helps.

• Files missing after moving iMovie events from local disk to external HARD disk. Are they lost?

  Hi all

  Tonight, I tried to clear up little space on my local HARD drive and wanted to spend my events/projects of the iMovie local library to an external HARD disk, which I connected via firewire 800.

  I opened iMovie (v10.1 - current version with all updates installed). I clicked on an event to highlight and then the FILE--> COPY OF LIBRARY of selected EVENTS.

  There, I sailed on the external drive and created an iMovie new library called ReWatch2015. I copied successfully eight different events, including files from my external hard drive.

  The ultimate goal is to get rid of them on the HARD drive internal, I highlighted the 20 remaining events I wanted to move and then used the FILE--> MOVE of EVENTS at the LIBRARY and specified ReGen_2015.

  It seemed at first glance to move. In fact, he seemed to move too darn fast in my opinion. When I looked at home in the library of the external drive, they were nothing more than a string of question marks, with a message telling me that particular item is not found and re-import the original clips. It's impossible because I have not kept the original source material on my internal drive. I had asked before if they are preserved in the library of iMovie and told me Yes, so I that's why I deleted the original source material.

  Don't see no activity on the disks, I did the cmd - Z to go back. Events have now shown upward into the iMovie library internal. HOWEVER, they still have the question mark, with msg on reimport. What is scary, is that if I go to ALL projects of them have visible thumbnails. Yet, when I click on any of these thumbnails to load the project into the editor, I am back to the page of question mark again.

  Are the file on drive HARD internal, and they just disassociated projects, or two-thirds of my library of events of 2015 are now toast? I was not under any type of backup Time Machine to be able to recover them, and frankly, if they left, it is not the end of the world since I was of the .mp4 displayed on Vimeo. But, I would just assume the iMovie library intact if possible.

  Suggestions on how to recover are greatly appreciated!

  Hi Robert

  Am having exactly the same problem on a new iMac 2016 running El Capitan: when I want to MOVE events such as you describe it, they sometimes get lost in the original library, both in the target library. Like you, I noticed that a such attempt to move just a very short time even if several GB of data play a role. Sometimes however, iMovie is able to move successfully. I my case, I had to re - import events so lost since an additional backup, I got on another external drive that I couldn't find the clips 'lost' on the HARD drive more. Very scary!

  I think it's an iMovie/El Capitan question which could be corrected with future updates. The only solution I've found is to the events of the FIRST COPY, and then check if the target is really OK and only then select the MOVE option, which will remove the original library to free up space. In addition, I plan to copy on a regular basis my library full iMovie on an extra disk to backup using the finder.

  Did you find anything in the meantime?

• Can not backup on external hard drive - "snapshot could not be created...» »

  Cannot back up the external hard drive "snapshot could not be created, please check the VSS application log and the PSP" "details - the shadow copy provider had an error" error code «ox81000019» I want to buy a new laptop, but how can I transfer all of the existing computer if I can't do a backup?

  As you go only to transfer data from one to the other files, here's a good option...

  Remove the old hard drive and connect it on the new computer using a USB to SATA connector like this...

  http://www.TigerDirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3276554&CATID=11527

  It is a very useful device to have some kicking around when you need to get data on a drive that does more boot.

  You must get permission to access folders on the old disk to the new computer and this is how you do it.

  Download the zip on the site below...

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/add-take-ownership-to-Explorer-right-click-menu-in-Vista/

  .. and it is there that find the link to the zip on the site...

  

  When you run the zip file, it places a new item in the right click menu called 'Take Ownership'

  To use it, you highlight the file or the folder on which you want the property, right click and select take ownership.

  Then a window will appear and many data authorizations through pretty quickly. When permissions have been granted, the window will close and you will be able to easily access data in the file or the first selected folder...

• Drive light external HARD disk Warrior exploded

  I use DiskWarrior do a reconstruction of the hard drive to save the files, if possible. Hard drive does not appear on the desktop, which had been seen as a USB device on system information. During the reconstruction, the Seagate external HARD disk light exploded and is no longer visible to the Profiler system as a USB device. Should I cancel the reconstruction? Should I try disk referee to 'stabilize' the disc and run Disk Warrior?

  Can you describe the real problem which caused you to run DiskWarrior "to save the files?  Who can provide a clue about your current situation.

  If DiskWarrior' forever,' you have to cancel rebuild it later.  How long it has beed running?  It may take time, if repairs are done by DiskWarrior.

  DiskWarrior works repairing data directory player (which defines where the files are stored).  There are other types of utilities who hunt the disc for actual data.  For example

• Photos can work using just an external HARD disk and leave my only intern?

  Hello

  I am using v1.5 Photos. On my Macbook HARD internal disk fills up very quickly. Fortunately, I have a nice external 1 TB drive and I would like to:

  (1) move all my photos on the external drive and direct Photos program so search the folder on the external HARD drive to find all photos.

  (2) when I import pictures from my camera in the future, that the Mac them automatically in the folder of photos on the external HARD disk and not keep fill the space limited on my Mac small disk internal.

  Is this possible? I remember that I was able to do it with iTunes years when I used a Powermac with 4 x internal HDD of various sizes. iTunes has been able to see the music on each disk files and present them to me as a single list of iTunes.

  I'm not interested in using iCloud at all, I have everything on HARD drive and memory sticks and I am satisfied that, as it provides all the storage I need and I only use a computer for my work.

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  Yes, it is possible to keep the pictures library on an external drive. Make sure that the unit is running at the launch of photos from your Mac.
