    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    You can restore backed up files lost, damaged, or accidentally modified versions. You also to restore files individual, groups of files, or all files that you have saved.

    If you are restoring files from a backup that was made on another computer, the files are restored in a folder under the user name that was used to create the backup. If the user names are different, you must navigate to the folder where the files are restored.

    I suggest you use the steps in this article and check if it helps.

  • Unable to see the new files from the external hard drive in Windows Media Player library

    Original title: music is dead

    Windows media player does not recognize my external hard drive on all my computers windows 7, but works fine on my xp. has taken the laptop shop they led produced songs media player then reinstalled them, and it worked. but when I added more songs on the ext. harddrive and tried to play on windows media player 7 it does not find new! can't afford to take to the store whenever I have download music and want to play on my Media Player 7. is it auto recognition? When I plug the ext. harddrive inside automatically so reads the news on it?

    It has been fixed thought

    I had posted a question on my Ext. harddrive, my windows xp Media Player recognizes new music I have add out of it, but all my computers which are used to windows 7. then I myself especially when I add the new music on the hard drive for media playyer on xp I have spend the toolbar and click on file, then click Add to library computer search and it adds to the media player library. but windows 7 does not have this option. I noticed if you click file, and then manage libraries, and then the music lets me add my Ext. harddrive (e drive) to the library list. on a computer it support of new music and videos found on the hard drive, on two computers it just music, so I downloaded a song and a video on the hard drive, plugged into the computer and media player says that it has been updated of library, and yet there they never found the new files. Why have they changed? XP was so easy. new is not always better!

    According the description preceding, Windows Media Player is not picking new music on the external hard drive.

  • need help syncing replacement of the external hard drive for Lightroom

    Hello Lightroom community.

    I've exhausted my research and am now seeking help. Please direct me to this information in the forum if it exists. Also, I am a novice and while I am learning lightroom quickly with all my time spent in forums and online videos, I am limited in my understanding of how it all works.

    Problem: I store my Lightroom Catalog and backups on my portable MacBook Pro. I use two external hard drives to store all my images and store my time machine backups. My external hard drive (1-hand) and my external hard drive (2-Back-up) were also well synchronized with the catalog and recognized by lightroom when I edited the pictures. I mainly used the DHM 1-hand when I edited, especially when I went. Last month, my main 1 - EHD died and was unrecoverable. I got lucky that my backup drive (DHM 2-back-up) has always had the images and changes.

    In order to quickly save my 'JEP 2-back-up"to a new 'Hand' work external hard drive replacement, I dragged and dropped the backup disk images to the new"Main"drive so that I can sleep at night. This gave me the peace of mind that all of my images and backups time machine were now on two disks again. (Note: the new ' hand ' disk has a different name. ") Is this important?)

    How can I get Lightroom to recognize and sync with my new drive and photos? Is there a simple way to do this or do I have to restart the process from the beginning? If so, where should I start? I'm afraid to attempt without some advice/suggestions from the experts.

    Thank you for any information, you can pass it along! Please let me know what I can provide additional information.

    Side note: when I looked to import the images of the new 'Hand' DHM - although this would make duplicates-Lightroom recognized that there are duplicates. So, where is the missing link?

    If you can rename the new primary drive to match exactly the name of the previous main drive, that should correct the problem.

    If this is not the case, then you want to open your Lightroom Catalog and then reconnect the top-level folder that contains your pictures by right-clicking on this top-level folder and then to find Missing folder pointing Lightroom on the equivalent top level on your new drive main folder. The details are described here (see Figure 4): Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

    Side note: re-import never corrects this problem, it only makes it worse. Never use to reimport into solution in Lightroom.

  • Can I put some Cache bridge on the external hard drive for images in are there?

    Hello

    I'm on a MacBook Pro retina.

    While I have a 500 GB hard drive, I noticed that the bridge CS 6 cache becomes plu quickly (1 terabyte SSD impatient).

    I have most of my images on external hard drives, but Bridge CS6 cache seems to be on my computer.

    Can I keep the bridge locally cache?

    So if I have 1000 images on the hard disk, the cache for them would be on hard drive.

    And for 100 TIFFS on drive B, cache on the hard drive of B.

    And for the most recent 100 TIFF I keep on my hard disk, the cache of the bridge would be on my computer.

    It this what by checking the box next to 'automatically export Caches files when Possible' made or I am misunderstanding and this option updates only the COPY of the files on the external hard drive cache, but the cache on my computer bridge file contains still images, no matter on which hard drive, they would be?

    Yes, 100% preview can eat a lot of disk space.  If you do a lot of export of raw images on another disk outside the bridge I would ditch export the folder option.  Compact cache can help to eliminate inches with no parents, and many purge the cache from time to time to reduce the size.

    If you can get the Nero software is another matter.

    When you insert the disc it seems either Computor (RSM) or in disk management?

    If it is not in the Device Manager there at - it marks of yellow warning?

  • Denied access in writing to a disk external hard drive for Windows XP laptop.

    I have my laptop running on Windows XP. Recently I am facing difficulties to copy the files to my portable hard drive to an external hard drive (Intenso) - the error message "Unable to create the new folder - access denied".

    Surprisingly, the last time that I triedto copy some files was in December 2010 and everything worked fine. Even more surprising is that when I'm trying to copy files from my laptop to desktop hard disk Intenso I barely have problems at all! It works very well. Also, the operating system of my portable desktop is also WindowsXP.

    Tilak

    It seems that the hard drive is formatted with NTFS, and you must add the "everyone" to the root of the drive with ALL the account permissions and leaves all of the subfolders will inherit this setting.

  • Correct installation of the new hard drive for Windows 7

    Have a disk hard fatal crash with Dell OEM Windows 7on, so I bought a new hard drive compatible system and have my old system Win 7/recovery of data on a memory stick. It's been years that last I formatted, partitioned and installed an operating system on a new hard drive and I totally forgot how it's done. Vaguely remember some DOS commands were required to work out of BIOS (?). Can anyone list the individual measures to be taken, assuming that the hard drive is physically installed and turned on? It would be a great help!

    Unless this stick memory has on her installation files as well, you cannot reinstall win7 on the new hard drive

    You will need the DVD / or the ISO of Win7.

    ]

    And no you do not need BACK. Just the dvd or ISO / to boot from. Then you can format / partition in the configuration screen

  • Incompatible with the controller hard drive for Windows 10 update

    After 4 TEC, I was able to update Windows 10.  Now the report of compatibility for my computer says that my hard disk controller is not compatible with Windows 10.  I have Windows 7 and its been running pretty well with some minor problems.  When I go to search for drivers or windows updates, it seems to continue indefinitely and do nothing.  Not sure if that has anything to do with the controller, but I thought I would include this information.

    The latest technology suggested that I go to my local IT guy... funny, considering it's my computer at home.  What are my options?  Or someone has an idea how I could get the controller fixed my own?  Or should I consider 10 Windows a lost cause and wait until I get a new computer?  Thank you!

    Hello!  Thanks for the reply.  I've updated driver for the controller, and the next day was 10 Windows in my Windows Update.  I opened it to the top, and it worked!   Now have 10 Windows happily running on my computer.  Thanks for the information!

  • He said has no sufficient rights when trying to reformat the external hard drive in Windows 7.

    I run Windows 7 Home premium. I have an external USB disk, which (after a few corrupted files) I want to reformat. When I try to do that, I get an error message saying that I don't have sufficient rights to perform this operation. I have rights full administrator on my PC and there is no option "run as administrator" available for the format command. Help!

    The problem disappeared as if by magic! I tried to eject the disk, we told him I could not do that because it was still in use, and the player then become available to the format command. If the issue has resolved itself of its own, but thanks anyway for taking the time to begin to bend your mind to my problem.

  • Windows 7 backup and restore not recognizing external hard drives

    My laptop recognizes the drives external hard and other storage devices and I can read and manually copy files, etc for them. But the backup and restore told me that nothing is connected when I try to run it. Also, when I connect the external hard drive to a USB port, the menu that is displayed does not include the option of backup of the device just connect. Is there a setting I need to change in the backup and restore program? Or is there another solution that everyone is aware of it please?

    Hi Sally,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that the backup and restore does not recognize the external hard drive, but Windows doesn't. I'll be happy to help you with your query. Let me ask you;

    1. Is - this happy with all external hard drives or individual?
    2. What kind of backup are trying to create, auto or manual?
    3. You did it recently no specific changes in the computer?

    There may be several reasons why backup & restore does not recognize the external hard drive. Let's check out the steps below.

    Step 1: Connect the device to a USB (Universal Serial Bus) and a different test.

    Step 2: You can check if the services responsible for the backup of restoration & work or not.

    Volume Shadow Copy and backup of Windows service.

    To check the services, you can follow the procedure.

    (a) click Start.

    (b) in the Search tab, type Services.msc , and then press Efriendship.

    (c) now in the services window, locate Windows Backup service and Volume Shadow Copy services. Check if they are started.

    Note: Check the services separately, and then close the Services window.

    Step 3: Run the next Fixit and check if the disc is recognized.

    Click here to launch the Fixit.

    Step 4: You can try to temporarily disable the security software of the computer and check with the question. Later, re-enable the security software.

    See: , disable the anti-virus software

    Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attack.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.
