[S1670CDS] "Cards bootable component snap": on an external hard disk

Hello

This time, I would like to make this Satellite 1670 CDS booting from an external USB hard drive.

The BIOS setting "bootable add-in cards ' in the section 'Boot' seem to indicate that it is possible to boot to PCI devices.

Then, I want to buy a PCI USB 2.0 controller to do.
The motherboard is USB 1.0, so I don't know if a USB 2.0 controller is working, or if it will limit the possibilities in USB 1.0.

It is quite disturbing: I don't remember if there is any free PCI slots inside the laptop, and even if there is, there is no place to put the USB ports accessible from the outside (sorry I have no words to say Hmm).
But I'm ready to cut the plastic of the laptop box to create a space where the USB ports may be accessible.

One of the purposes of the present is backup data on another drive, if drive crash HARD to my laptop inside.

Finally, do you have someone has it already done this sort of thing?
Do you really think that this is possible?

Let me know ;) I have the saw to the left hand!

Sorry, that I have to disappoint you!

A PCI card is only for desktop computers, it does not fit into the laptop!

You can buy a USB 2.0 PCMCIA card to connect the HARD disk, but you cannot start it!

You wrote that your drive HARD internal fails, the only way to run Notepad is to change the internal HARD disk and install an operating system on it!

In my opinion is the best to change the internal HARD drive (a little is available on ebay), install the OS and more HARD disk space, you can use an external USB HDD!

  • Portege R830 - external HARD disk error - "target not found device.

    Hi all

    I recently bought a 1HD R830 which has windows 7 as its OS.
    I have a few old external hard disks that were formatted on windows vista.

    When I try to use it on my new computer it says "target not found device.
    I called support for the external hardrive, who said this is an incompatibility problem and that I would need to re format external hard drives (and therefore lose all about them unless I copied them on a compatible hard drive).
    Is this true?

    Rather than go through the hassle to copy all data to another hard drive is there a way to make my new computer compatible with the external hard drive?

    Your help is very appreciated.

    See you soon,.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Problem with external HARD disk - cannot mount the mac partition and can't unmount the partition windows

    Hi all

    Need your help. I have problems with my external hard drive. I worked on it yesterday when the cable is a little detached and disassembled my intestinal HARD drive.

    Here are the specs:

    1 Macbook Air 11.5 "running on El Capitan (10.11.1)

    2 Buffalo Ministation external (1 TB) HARD disk divided into two: a Mac partition (for time machine) and the other a windows on FAT32 partition.

    Before the accident yesterday, it was working OK.

    Now, when I connect the HARD drive, it turns on but the Mac partition cannot be mounted (it does not appear on the Finder. I opened disk utility... just load forever and does not work) and the Windows partition is visible... but I can't take it apart without turning my computer.

    I can assemble and disassemble a USB stick very well.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Maybe you can explain a little better.

    I would like to make some general comments before having your replay.

    It is not wise to use TM on a disk with apple unformatted or partitions, it is preferable to have a dedicated TM drive also.

    For TM, the rule is that the drive is about 3 times the size of the boot disk.

    Normally you 'survive' a good step disassemble the drive external, but in this case with a another partition formatted on this subject, I'm not sure if that do not corrupt the disk, especially since the Windows partition is bootable. I have suspct the partition GUID on the TM partition table is corrupt.

    I propose to start the disk completely: in DiskUtility select the 'higher' level (name of manufacturer) and the Partition, one OS X Extended (journaled) partition table Partition GUID. And use it only for TM, is not too big for this.

    Have another drive formatted NTFS for Windows.
