• Cannot access the files from the internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead

  I can't access the files from an internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead. I think that my files are still there, as shown in the volume of the player volume ~ 500 gb which is almost completely full. But I can't access most files, including documents and settings. When I took 'ownership' of the folder, I could open the TI but then it showed everything that was in my documents and settings on the computer file I used to open it, not the documents of the car.

  Uhm... I think the issue here is a misunderstanding of what you watch.

  If you want to access your files from the old hard drive - you need to look in the right place.  If the old system was "Windows 7", "Documents and Settings" is the * wrong * place to look and "Users" would be the place to go.

  You * will * take ownership and change permissions on ALL (you want to propagate to all subfolders/files when do - to save time) in order to get them properly.

  New-->: Windows Vista/7 would have your files located in the directory 'Users' of the root of the drive - and then under your username.

  • \USERS\\Desktop\
  • \USERS\\Downloads\
  • \USERS\\Favorites\
  • \USERS\\Documents\
  • \USERS\\Music\
  • \USERS\\Pictures\
  • \USERS\\Videos\

  ... etc...

  Documents and settings to WIndows Vista/Windows 7 is a symbolic link and would lead to what you see if you tried to use it.

• Satellite L670D Simple Drive external HARD drive question

  OS Windows 7 Home. Preload by Toshiba.

  Have a Toshiba simpledrive 1 T. When plugged into the USB hardrive are rewritten with shortcuts. Hard drive in Explorer properties shows data from correct volume on the disk, but I don't have access to the drive. Shortcuts anywhere.

  Disk formatted with laptop and work very well, but can not eject. Whenever I want to eject the disc, it is being used by another program. Cannot find the program using Xdrive. Once the X drive is off and then turn it back on shortcuts will be displayed again. Do not have the same problem with Xdrive on my PC - OS Win 7 Pro - works fine.

  I've updated to Toshiba laptop drivers, Bios etc. Also updated Windows still no go. It must be a problem with laptop, but I seem to not be able to solve it.

  Help will be appreciated.

  Hello

  Hmm, try connecting the HARD drive to the computer before booting the operating system Win.
  Also, check if the software Xdrive isn't blocked by any other security software (antivirus, firewall tool, etc.).
  I also recommend checking the power management of the Win 7 on your laptop. Check if the USP ports are not configured to save energy.

• Satellite A200-1If does not start after the BIOS update

  Hello

  It is my first time on the forum posting, I hope someone can help me.
  I recently downloaded the latest update of the Bios (bios - 20090121132526.zip) for my laptop. I ran the bios Setup, after the update it restarted my laptop, but then he went to a black screen and no longer start.
  When I press the power button only power led lights, fans begin to turn and the DVD - rom turns and stops and the screen is blank.
  I am running Vista Home premium 32-bit.

  Can anyone provide a solution on what I can do to fix this?

  Was the system standby standby/extended/recovery?

  Its important to cold starts of the system before and after an update of the BIOS.

  You could try to remove one of the modules RAM (change RAM size) and turn on, otherwise the system may need to be sent to an ASP for repair.

• Drive external HARD encrypted in ExFat?

  Hello

  I have a new drive external HARD I need to use on a Mac and a PC. I need to access the same files (data analytics), so I don't want to make 2 partitions and have duplicate files. What I've read, it seems that ExFat is the best option for this (they are large files, so that the FAT will not work). My work, however, requires external hard drives to encrypt. When I tried to put it on my MacBook Pro (El Capitan), however, I received an error.

  My question is this: is there a way to meet all three of these criteria?

  (1) disk encrypted

  (2) read/write on a mac

  (3) read/write, the same files on a PC

  I have a separate HARD disk for Time Machine, I use an airport. This disc will have to travel with me.

  Thanks in advance!

  If you were able to encrypt it using the built-in OS x software, Windows would not be able to decipher. If you use a Windows build-in encryption software, OS X would not be able to decipher.

  You have to find a 3rd party package that works on BOTH OS X and Windows, which can encrypt and decrypt on both platforms.

  In the past, I would have done TruCrypt, however, he was abandoned by unknown original authors, but there have been a few replacements based on the original source of TruCrypt.  Try googling 'TruCrypt Alternatives' and you might find something where they support the OS X and Windows.

  Otherwise, you will need to find another cross platform encryption package.

• Connection drive external hard am.

  Hello world
  I wonder if it is possible to connect the drive external hard am to z3?
  In the light of others do it on the other android device. Got an otg cable, plugged my HDD but the phone is not supported it or I'm doing something wrong.

  Any help with this would be appreciated.

  Yes, you can check what file system that is used if you connect to a PC, right-click on the drive in the Solution Explorer and select Properties.

  It is possible to convert NTFS to FAT without deleting all data, but I do it without the first run a backup in case something goes wrong. And if you have files bigger than 4 GB it will be problems with these as FAT32 does not support that. exFAT supports, but I didn't know of any tool that can convert NTFS to exFAT without wiping the drive.

• 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,.

  I have an old drive external HARD with images recorded on it and I use it for years with WXP, Vista, Win7 and now with Win8 too. There is no problem at all so I put t understand what could be wrong with your HARD drive.

  Do you have similar problems with other external devices connected to your laptop Portege?

• Satellite A100-216: can I move Windows.old for drive external HARD

  Hello

  I got my satellite A100-216 almost 12 months, (and I'm pleassed with it, incidentally), and bought with XP, but she has the option (taken) to get the upgrade to Vista Home Premium.

  I have finally plucked courage to Vista and have a question.

  In the book, it says that the hard drive will be completely erased, and all must be safeguarded. OK - did this.
  It lights up during loading to say that only a full upgrade is possible and that the old windows will be stored in a folder called "Windows.old" even if the operating system will be unusable.
  There seemed no option but to agree with what is happening and lo and here is the record + Windows.old + is here, and it's * Gb * 6 in size!

  After saving everything, can I really keep this large amount of things on my HARD drive. I can move it on my external hard drive?

  The capacity of the HARD drive, (nominally 100 GB) but showing 93Gb shows 24,6 now used by Vista without other programs or drivers installed.

  If I remove this 6 GB, I'll have a more reasonable 75 GB to play with.

  The other option would have been to start on an OEM XP disk, opt for delete and re-create a primary partition and load Vista from there after the format. Would it be: r: work and B: use less space.

  If the 6 GB file is all that it would save, I'll just save it on my external HARD drive.

  Thanks :)

  Hi Dave,.

  The Windows.old folder is a backup of your files/folders/settings of your XP system etc.

  It is automatically created during the process of update for Vista and is designed as a quick way to return to the earlier version of the operating system if you need to do. \obviously its value will decrease over time, once you start using Vista, because different files will become obsolete with the use.

  The normal procedure is to remove these backup files "shadow", once you are happy that Vista is not working properly and there is an option to do it for you in the utiliy Vista disk cleanup.

• Satellite A200 PSAF3A - upgrade the hard drive - data retention?

  Hello

  I am working on a Toshiba Satellite A200 PSAF3A with a dying 160 GB Fujitsu 5400 RPM SATA drive installed.
  I would like to replace the hard drive 400 GB 5400 RPM SATA drive in a car with a Fujitsu and transfer any existing information on it. I noticed that there is a standard C:\, a System Volume of Toshiba and a HDDRecovery partition on the current drive.

  Can someone tell me if this is possible by using disk imaging software? If so, what are the issues could meet? (eg. new player will only recognize the old C:\ partition size etc.)

  I have already created a backup of the drive image and all 3 partitions (as she made a lot of noise and possibly at its output) using shadow protect Desktop
  Toshiba HDDRecovery & the System Volume partitions don't show in SPDesktop as the affected drive letters, so I don't know if I can restore using this program. Everyone has used successfully to achieve this result?

  pus
  I also have a Ultimate Boot CD for Windows here, and have successfully used the Roadkills Disk Copy with a SATA Adapter USB to copy a C:\ on a laptop in the past. It would be a better approach? I was thinking of using this method because it must copy all 3 partitions, then just use GParted to resize C:\ to fill the rest of the available HARD disk space.

  Thanks in advance :)

• Drive external HARD is compatible with eSata on Satellite L655-158

  Hello

  I buy a L655-158 this weekend, I also intend to buy a Seagate external hard drive that fits the eSata using something like that: -.

  "Times that are up to six times faster than with USB 2.0 powered Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Upgrade Cable of eSATA transfer is designed to keep pace with you, to offer you!

  With the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Powered eSATA upgrade Cable you can easily and inexpensively switch interface GoFlex and GoFlex Pro Ultra-Portable from your hard drive at speeds ultra-fast eSATA.

  The FreeAgent GoFlex Powered eSATA upgrade Cable works with any port powered eSATA/USB combo, and is compatible with the ultraportable GoFlex and GoFlex Pro drives. Please note that it is not compatible with standard eSATA ports, not powered.

  Take the time to transfer upward with the FreeAgent GoFlex Powered eSATA Cable upgrade to Seagate.

  General information

  Other compatible with ultraportable GoFlex and GoFlex Pro readers. "

  So, my question is the compatible adapter with eSata on the L655-158 port, is the powered port or not? If this is not the case, what are external drives others who enjoy the ease of eSata, and well what they are doing?

  Thanks in advance,

  Hello

  > So my question is the compatible adapter with the port eSata on the L655-158
  There are just sort of eSATA port. If the external HARD disk supports eSATA interface so I guess you can connect this external HARD disk to the port eSATA to the Satellite L655-158

• Drive external HARD USB will not access the files correctly on Satellite A100-033

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-033 (PSAANE-03J02GEN), running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.
  I have a Western Digital passport external hard drive, which has no power source, because it pulls its power via the USB port.

  Sometimes the player works fine, but I often have huge problems to access files on the drive. Opening a folder can make Windows to hang.

  Open an audio file or a Word can do Word or audio software crash. Copy files often fails and in the process can make the Explorer Windows stop working.

  Recently I tried to copy a 33MB file from the external hard drive to my laptop, and while he did it took more than an hour. So many things can happen, none of them pleasant.

  Problems can occur if the external drive is the only device connected to a USB (apart from an external mouse, I always use), or if the external hard drive is one of a number of devices plugged into my laptop - either separately or through a USB hub (powered or unpowered).

  Anyone know what is happening and how I can make my USB external drive usable? I have two other external drives (powered by their own power source) and they work perfectly.

  Why, most of the time, do drive limp along so badly that they are virtually unusable?

  Hello

  One thing is clear; the problem is definitely related to the external HARD drive and not the laptop. It seems that this problem still occurs if the HD has been connected.

  It of really difficult to say what could be wrong with your external HARD drive
  Maybe HARD drive sectors are corrupt, and therefore you can not open folders and some files stored on the HARD drive.

  Have you tried to format the HARD drive? Check this box and try to save and re-open cases.

  In the worst case that the external HARD drive has a hardware malfunction

• Satellite A200 PSAF3A - ccreen goes black after installing the graphics driver

  Hello.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 which has the video adapter Mobile Intel (r) 965 Express Chipset Family (256 MB).

  I bought my computer in Australia and is the SATELLITE A200 (PSAF3A-08202D) with Windows XP.
  The computer began to be very slow, and since I had a lot of programs that I wanted more I restored it to the out of the box.

  The problem is that the screen went black after the windows logo. He worked only in safe mode. I deleted the drivers of graphics cards and it works but without a graphics card.

  Now, I can't play games or watch movies.
  Whenever I try to install the driver, no matter if its from the cd that came with the computer, the toshiba Web page or the Web site intel it still restarts black screen.

  I tried to disable the adapter instead of uninstall. When I enable it, she accepts and he will say his work but just with screen resolution of 640 x 480.

  If I try to put it above it is always black.
  Can someone help me?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  First of all, you should visit this Australian page from Toshiba:
  http://www.ISD.Toshiba.com.au
  You will find all the drivers for this model of laptop.

  I checked and found that there is a BIOS v2.5.
  Check if the BIOS needs to be updated (if the older BIOS is installed)

  In addition, there is a display driver v14.29.1.4833 and chipset driver v8.2.0.1012
  Install it!

  Last but not least the Win XP should be updated to the latest state!

• Satellite A200 - 26J PSAE6E: No. HARD drive during the installation of XP

  Hay @ all. My name is ahmet.

  I'm from the Germany. I have a problem.

  I bought a toshiba laptop and I think it's a very good laptop.
  But I don't like Vista. It uses to much space, much grafic and a lot more.
  So I tried to install my old windows XP Professional sp2. Here's the problem:

  During installation, Xp procres say there is no hard drive.
  Hmm, I thought I should have a look on other forums. There, they said to integrate a sata driver on the xp cd.
  But I don't understand the using nLite to use.

  Could you show me how I had to reinstall my old XP?
  I have a lot of files to my laptop and I change some settings in Vista so that I could not use internet.
  If I want to reinstall vista with the recovery cd, it would remove all folders, photo ect.
  I use only my other old computer.

  I would be very happy if you could help me.

  Hello

  The nLite is a freeware program that helps you to integrate the SATA (Intel matrix Storage Manager) driver in the original XP operating system.

  If you want to know how to use nLite software, then glasses a bit.
  There are many websites that explain how to use nLite.

  (Driver SATA) Intel Storage Manager can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

  Last month, I created a new XP CD using the nLite.
  I've included a few pilots, SP2 and some patches it of really not very difficult.

  As I said... Scope of protection is a key ;)

  Good bye
