  • 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.

  • 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.

    Step 2:

    Run a scan antivirus on your computer.

    Note: If infections are detected during the scan, there is a risk of data loss because infected files will be deleted.

    You could add the second hard disk of 500 GB as a slave and copy your files on the hard disk of 2 TB if its startup. If its not bootable, try to load Windows on it and install the 500 GB drive as a slave and copy your files:

  • Satellite P100-307 - is - I can change the internal HARD disk 500 GB model?

    Hello

    I am a beginner and I would trade my internal 200 GB of HARD drive against a 500 GB Samsung HDD. I have a Satellite P100-307.
    Is this possible at all?

    Thanks in advance for your advice.

    Hello

    Theoretically, it should be possible to use 500 GB laptop HARD drive. He already has SATA interface and it would mean that there is no limit of capacity as on the old IDE interface.

    So, you can buy every 2.5 HARD drive SATA interface. It makes no difference if you buy A manufacturing or B. It of your choice!

    You can give us feedback operation ;)

    Right-click your folder of the image and choose copy...

    Right-click on the drive letter for your external hard

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!

    BOUGHT NEW COMPUTER WINDOWS 10, CHANGED ITUNES MEDIA LOCATION FOR EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. THE MUSIC DOES NOT APPEAR ON ITUNES.

    Changing the iTunes media folder location setting affects only where new additions to your library will be stored.  To use a disk external drive to store your library complete (and assuming that you have access to the original data of the library on an old computer) you must copy the iTunes folder, by default in C:\Users\username\Music, on the external drive - structure library and its records should be like this:

    The hold button SHIFT DOWN when you start iTunes and when you see this message:

    Click choose a library... then find and select the iTunes Library.itl in iTunes on your external drive folder.
