• All external hard drives showing that raw

  Hi all

  Hope you can help. For the last two days none of my 3 external drives have been showing under 'my computer '. They work fine when I attach them to another machine. When I look at my "Device Manager" readers are here and in "computer management" records show as "simple, basic, RAW, healthy (primary partition) but they have"drive letter"like I said they work perfectly when I attach them to other machines."

  Thank you

  If you changed the partition, Windows Vista has been known to reassign letters local drive incorrectly.  Looking through several docs, let's say if plugged in, unplug it and plug it back to Windows to recognize it.

  It is a doc from Windows 7, but it relates as well to Windows Vista

• How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate? I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2),

  How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate?  I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2), and I need to do backups plus two from other computers on the same external hard drive.  To do this, I think I would need to identify each backup file separate I know which file to specify if I need to do a restore.

  How can I accomplish this? The program does not seem to give me the ability to specify a file to which to write the backup during a given session files.  In addition, I do not understand why I can not see the file name in Windows Explorer - my files options are defined to be able to view hidden and system.  Would be grateful for any help you can provide, tonight if possible.   Best regards, Oliver for Norm

• 250GB external hard drive shows only 125 GB

  Hello

  I just bought an external hard drive 250 GB, I plugged it opend my computer one selected the external hard drive on the side of the rite of the screen in the detail he gives me the total size of 125 GB it's just?

  Hello

  I recommend you check the external HARD disk size in disk management.
  Please enter this option right click 'My computer' icon and select 'manage '. Computer Management opens and there you can choose disk management.

  The other possibility is that the drive was badly formatted. I also recommend formatting again. Check if it is possible to create a partition 2 with about 125 GB of space

  hsving obvous problem assostated with little or no space drive. slow operion of progtams "program does not" and 'unable to write' trusted sites.

  Sometimes when the hard disk becomes incredibly full, you can even copy files to an external hard drive. In such cases, simply pull the disk and put in a USB external hard drive case. Attach it to a working computer and copy the data in this way, either on a drive in the system of work or another external hard drive (it will be slower). Delete the data out of the full disc.

• How to recover my data stored on an external hard drive now that I use a MAC

  I bought a Sea Gate 2 to external hard drive for my Dell PC a few months back.  It saved my whole computer and check everyday for any extra stuff back up.  Recently, I switched to a MAC, and in a prime time could not open at all.  However, I called door seafarers and they helped me set up my Mac so now I can open it as a hard drive.  However I still do not see the material recorded from my PC.  I was told that Windows has somehow compress the files when it is saved as a backup, and this is perhaps why I can't see my old files.  If anyone has any ideas I'd love to help.

  It's really a question you need to ask the experts of Mac (choose the forum that pertains to your variety of Mac).  However, the information that anyone who will help you needs to know is what software created backup files.  In other words, what "saved" your computer?

  For example, you use Windows Ntbackup?  You use software provided with the Seagate drive?

  If you can open the Seagate on Mac disk, configure your Mac to be able to show file name extensions (the letters after the dot): http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh825.html and register this file extension to your aid application.

• External hard drive not appearing is not in Windows Explorer

  I have a Toshiba external hard drive that has been previously connected to a MAC and that worked very well. I have data on the MAC that I need to put on my PC that is running Windows Vista, but when I plug it into the computer it does not appear in windows Explorer.  She appears as installed hardware and appears under Device Manager/disk management, but there is not a disk entrusted to him.  When I right click on it to assign a drive, this option is grayed out and I can't assign the driver.  Is this what can I do to access the external drive?

  Try the DISKPART command line?

  Using a command line

  1. open the command prompt.

  2. type: diskpart

  3. at the DISKPART prompt, type: list of volume

  Note the number of the simple volume without drive letter assignment.

  4. at the DISKPART prompt, type: select volume n

  Select the volume, where n is the volume number, without drive letter assignment.

  5. at the DISKPART prompt, type: assign letter = L

  Where L is the drive letter you want to assign to the drive.

  AutoPlay must illuminate with the newly assigned drive letter.

• 1 TB external hard drive works on XP but not Windows 7

  1 TB Toshiba external hard drive.

  It works on my laptop that runs Windows XP bot not on the laptop that is running Windows 7, if the hard disk works. It also works on Vista.

  My Seagate (320 GB) hard drive works on the Windows 7 laptop - so the USB ports are not defective.

  When I plug the hard 1 TB drive that it appears not on the Manager list of devices, or the title of the disk management, still green light from the disk hard flashes and lights up like it normally does when plugged into the laptop XP.

  I have read all the forums and tried the following: edited the Registery values for mass storage devices USB (deleted and lower filters);  Edited the "Usbstor" INF file as suggested check, the Toshiba site for any compatibility issues, and they have suggested that it is a problem of windows 7, given that the player works on other platforms.

  Because the disc is not visible in device etc Manager I can't try the other options.

  Any input would be appreciated

  I found the problem to be with the controller Toshiba uses on their external hard drives.

  I removed the hard drive Toshiba of the carcass, put it in an envelope of SeaGate (thus using a SeaGate controller) and it worked fine.

  To my knowledge there is no software around HD Ext Toshiba and W7 work. Take the HD out of the envelope, buy a cheap eSATA to USB connector & problem solved.

• External hard drive Toshiba without being detected in Windows 7

  I have toshiba drive hard 500 GB and I use very long in my pc, but to this day used to my hard drive detected by my computer, but looks like that my hard drive is detected in my laptop and its good. I used several solution, but I can't find one that works for me:------(including uninstall them the drivers) here a few images when I use to fix it but I can not find my hard disk in disk management, but it has been detected in my device manager. Please help T.T #Sorrybadenglish

  I suggest do you a normal shutdown/reboot and check again.

  Doubtful it has nothing to do with drivers.

  We will need some information more and clarified:

  1. Makes you think of a hard drive is not detected?
  2. Is the Toshiba drive listed in Device Manager, the main drive to the computer or is it an external drive connected?
  3. Is the above display on another computer?
