• Lightroom 5, letter from the external HARD disk drive

  I use LR 5 and store my images on an external drive 'f' raw Once I inserted an SD card on my PC from Win10, and he received the letter F on the SD drive. Later, when I connected my external drive where I store my raw, the PC files it G. Since then, I am unable to get LR5 to locate photos. I went into disk, reassigned management to F the drive letter for the drive external hard, then back to G since LR5 thought he was now drive G. other than the location manually each individual records, seems to have no other choice. Any help would be appreciated

  The simplest solution is to use disk management to reassign the external drive the desired letter.

  My recommendation is to choose a letter 'J' so that readers SD or other do not continue to change the letter on you.

  After that you have the letter assigned, go to Lightroom file Board.

  If the folder hierarchy does not appear as it does explore, right click on a folder and select 'Show the parent'. Repeat if necessary.

  Then 'move' the first folder on the drive with the new letter. Everything under this first file will be automatically updated.

• How to change the letter on the external HARD disk

  My drive external hard was originally on drive F, and with that, I got all my music iTunes also. However, for some reason, my computer stopped recognizing the F drive; the following message appears when you try to open this drive:

  "The drive or network connection that designates the shortcut 'F Drive.ink' is not available. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available and then try again. »

  The problem I have now is that the external hard drive is now the G disk and iTunes does not recognize the path (G:\iTunes), I say to use, for example, my music is not loading properly and that a fraction is playable.

  Can someone help me with this?

  Hello

  I would recommend to change the external drive (g) to F letter.
  Do you know how to do this?

  After the external HARD disk is connected, you need to access the disk management and you will see the HARD drive (unique partitions) and other readers.
  Then you must mark the external HARD disk and should change the letter F.

  Perhaps the letter F was reserved for another drive.
  In this case, you need to unlock the letter F by assigning another letter to the reader that uses the letter F.

  For more details, please consult the Microsoft Knowledgebase document;

  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.

• Is it possible to install Windows 7 on external HARD disk

  He crashed and his does not work.

  It has the toshiba recovery CD and an external hard drive.
  Is it possible for him to install win 7 on the external hard drive?

  (the easy medium woyld be buying a new in-house but for the next 2 months because of his work that it is impossible).

  Hello

  I don t think that it would be possible to install the Windows 7 external HARD disk.
  You should replace the internal HARD disk and should put the new HARD drive in the laptop.
  Then you should be able to install Windows 7 on the new HARD disc.

  Good luck

  Hello

  What is a USB HDD?
  You n t need any driver, and there is no drivers for an external USB HDD.

  The USB driver is part of the Windows OS and it s already installed.
  The USB HDD must be fitted with a plug & play device which means that should be recognized automatically after you connect to the laptop USB port.

  What OS you have and what laptop is it?
  The operating system is up to date?
  USB ports are correctly listed in the Device Manager?

• files and folders invisible after the attack of virus on the external HARD disk

  I have an external Seagate 500 GB HDD.
  Yesterday I plugged on my friend's laptop computer, but her laptop has been attacked. I didn't know it. so I just copied the files on my HARD drive.
  After connecting the HARD drive to my laptop, I've scanned several times, but only one file or folder is not visible in it. And I checked the properties, its display used and remaining memory on the HARD drive.
  Not what happened? I want historical data... How can I make them visible?
  Help, please...

  Hi Muralidharpattar,

  This problem normally occurs when permission for files/folders have been modified and may be hidden.

  Method 1: We will connect the hard drive and try to check if files and folders are hidden or not.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=Windows-7

  Method 2:

  If the problem persists, I suggest you analyze the external hard drive to see if it is operated by the virus and malwares. If you have any antivirus program that is not built, you can run scanning using it. If this isn't the case, you can use the provided scanner.

  Step 1:

  Start your computer in safe mode and check the number.

  > to restore the image system and external hard drive
  Who told you that you can install the image of the HARD drive recovery?
  In s user guides document is clearly described how recovery your machine and it is written that you must create recovery DVDs.

  Anyway, a long time ago, I saw a thread interesting any similar problem. I n t have the time to search now, but you can use the advanced search option and try to find it. I think it must be somewhere in the forum of recovery category options.
