Satellite A300-19 q - how to start with an external USB drive

• computer a824n of office doesn't start with an external hard drive 2T connected.

  My HP Pavilion a824n desktop computer won't start with my new external hard drive 2T connected via a USB port.  The computer stops on the first screen, which I think is the Intel screen, with options for press ESC, F1, F10.  But these keys do nothing.  The only way out is to press the power button until the computer turns off.

  If I disconnect the external drive before turning the power on, the computer starts normally, the internal hard drive.  After that, I can connect from the outside and it works correctly, so I don't think that there is a defect in it.

  I can get into the screen of the BIOS settings to start with the external drive disconnected and by pressing the F8 key.  But the BIOS shows adequate priority, with the hard drive screen internal first, second DVD, third CD.  The internal hard drive is correctly identified by the model number and the new external drive is not at all (because I started without the connected external.)

  My guess is that when I start with connected externally, BIOS thinks it's the hard drive, it is supposed to boot from.  How can I get the machine to boot from the internal drive?

  Your guess is correct. The hard part is that I'm not sure of an exact solution I've seen this be something difficult to solve.

  Have you tried to update the firmware of an external drive?

  Have you updated your PC BIOS? If you are still running XP, I think that it is the update to the BIOS of your PC:

• HP envy Phoenix: win 7 does not start with connected external hard drive

  I have a desktop HP Envy Phoenix with i7 chip and an SSD for the OS.  If I connect via USB external drive of 3 TB WD for the backup of the system does not start while it is attached.  The pc seems to be trying to boot from the outside, can't find the OS and does not start.  It will start fine with small external drives connected.  It is the size of the disk? Is there a way to fix this?

  Hello

  The WD drives seem to pose problems of my potential.  I have used other brands such as Seagate and Hitachi without running into problems with external USB drives causing the system to boot.  Maybe it's the USB adapter that I use which does not cause starting problems.

  @tpetras

  I used the adapter HP USB 3, which uses drivers NEC or TI and has never had a problem starting via a USB external (non - WD) readers.

• How to start in my external hard drive to Windows 7 on my iMac?

  Hello

  I new here and just want to start in Windows 7 with boot camp on my iMac running Mountain Lion.

  I was told this software can do, but I am confused how.

  My drive hard win7 is currently connected to my iMac via a usb adapter. How to start up in it?

  Thank you.

  There are additional manual changes must be made to the .vmx config file to allow the Virtual Machine to be suspended not and do not taken Snapshots in order to have it comply with the same conditions imposed on a partition boot Camp install Windows when it is running as a Virtual Machine.

  This was repeated several times in this forum by myself and others so you should be able to search and find details of I synopsized here.

  I had a quick glance, but you would be kind enough to post a link to this part.

  Take a look at: changing the file .vmx for your VM from VMware Fusion (1014782)

  To keep the Virtual Machine of suspension, you do not want to do when you use a physical disk, add the following option in the .vmx config file.

  suspended. Disabled = "TRUE".

  To avoid having the pictures taken using the following option syntax:

  ide0:0. DeviceType = "rawDisk.

  Note that if the physical disks hard was created as a (free) SCSI vs IDE, then ide0:0 would be scsi0:0.  Note that this option can be added automatically when adding a hard pointing to a raw disk, do not remember for sure and no were not I can test at then time, so the option may already be present but if not then add.

• Windows 7 computer to connect to Airport Extreme with an external USB drive attached. Flash drive appears for the network map but not the hard drive.

  original title: drive hard extreme airport

  Using Windows 7 and the Airport Extreme.  The Airport Extreme has a USB port that can be used to mount an external hard drive which is accessible via the wireless connection.  Only thing is, I can't get a 2 GB flash drive will appear for mapping.  When I use the other hard drives, they never show upward for mapping.  They show that it is connected to the Airport Extreme, but are not seen by my PC.   The internet has a rumor according to which hard drives will show up only on a PC if they are to FAT32... which would work without another formatted hard drive.  What do you know about my problems of compatibility with hard drives?

  Hello

  Check updates firmware for the Airport Extreme.

  Airport - Support

  ---------------------

  Although I think that the question is really the Airport Extreme also updates Windows 7 WiFi.
  Check with the system manufacturer and the real device manufacturer updates the driver.

  Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
  version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
  Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods
  below is preferred so that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are
  found)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

  You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

  After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version.
  (Those become your fonts of rescue system manufacturer).

  Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as windows
  7 love the updated drivers.

  I hope this helps.

• How can I make an external USB drive read-only?

  I'm trying to find a solution to take a USB HD in a spacing classified environment / air.  If I can make the drive read-only (like I gave him that I need to copy on these machines), then the Agency will probably approve the device.  I can't use DVDs that data are 30 + GB in size.

• Satellite 1800-712 does not start with the new HARD drive

  Hello world.

  I am currently trying to install a new HARD drive in my notebook of 1800-712.
  I'm having a few trubbles as my Satellite won't start with my new HARD drive.

  I upgraded my BIOS to the latest version.
  The new HARD drive is a 40 GB Samsung.

  Any suggestions on what I need to do to make it all works?

  THX, Philippe

  Hello

  This device was shipped with 20 GB HARD drive.
  You again is 40 GB.
  I guess that the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive because of the size.

• Computer does not start with connected external HARD disk

  Although my BIOS doesn't look like another hard drive, when I start my computer with the external hard drive, the main computer shuts down until I have disable externally. I want to have external to back up automatically but can not have both to play well.

  Help!

  Hello

  The same thing happened on my laptop with a connected external printer.
  I was not able to turn on the laptop until I unplugged the USB printer.

  Well, I checked the BIOS which controls the start and put the HARD internal disk to the first position!
  Try this. Maybe it helps. Otherwise you will need to disconnect the external USB HDD til the operating system has started

• Satellite M30X-129 loses connectivity with the external USB device

  I have a problem with my laptop that has regularly been do worse and I can handle is no longer!

  Whenever I work with external devices via USB ports (all kinds of devices but my external hard drive Smartdisk CrossFire and my iPod in particular), after a certain period of time (sometimes minutes, sometimes hours) the laptop loses connectivity with the device.

  If happens to be listening to the music, download photos from a camera or laptop computer for the ' net or sync of the iPod, the connection is cut off, turning off the device and I have to start all over again!

  I'm almost at the point of launch of the laptop by the window, so any help is most welcome.
  Thank you
  Abderrahman

  Hello

  This happens also with the external USB mouse?
  This occurs if the power adapter is plugged or only if the laptop running on battery?

  In-hubs properties > Device Manager USB root-> power management
  You will find the option called allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

  I would recommend the brand and disable this option.

  Maybe it helps.

  By the way; When do you update the operating system? I think that it s there long time, perhaps some system files or registry entries are corrupted or a 3rd party application affect the USB functionality?

• Start with an external display Vista on HP laptop

  Hello

  My HP laptop screen is broken, so I need to use an external monitor. Unfortunately, the screen not active really up to what I'm going to connect to the page into account. This means that if I want to access bios, upgrade to a new operating system, or to do other things, I'm completely blind.

  Is it possible that I can get the operating system to start with my external monitor.

  Please note: I have a strong experience of PC and I'm decent to things like the change of systems. So feel free to suggest something dangerous or risky.

  Unfortunately, what you want to do is not possible.  The system should be launched before the second monitor is enabled (and you can't have the main monitor an external monitor on a laptop).  If you want to see what you do with stains where the disk hard operating system is not in use, you have no other choice than to repair your laptop screen (it does not cost much more and if you get only one monitor (and not the entire upper eyelid) you can replace exactly that and it shouldn't cost as much as a whole new lid (assuming it's the monitor that is the problem and not) (not something in the lid) anywhere near).  I did myself on my Dell and it wasn't easy by any means and I had to use tiny tools, I had not used in years (and if ever I need to do it again, I could just let a technician computer repair or Dell even myself worth) - but it can be done.

  There is no way to say BIOS (or something else) to use the external monitor as primary monitor - the controls are not there, and even if they were, the connections would be not activated by the system (and you cannot do it from the BiOS unless / until the system works).  You might be able to do the main monitor once the system is working, but not until then.  I appreciate your computer experience and a willingness to try something dangerous or risky, but it is not a question of who - it is just possible iisn can't with any Windows OS I know and probably other software of OS as well (and I'm not sure I would even suggest something dangerous - perhaps risky - even if I knew it would work because I'm tryng to help solve the problems and not cause) new or worse those).

  I would just bite the bullet and contact HP and get the laptopr fixed or at least get the part and try to do it yourself (a bit risky, difficult, time consuming and who need very small tools to accomplish if this can be done on a HP as it did on my Dell - you need HP technical support or parts if it is possible and that the difference in cost to ensure that it is possible) and useful effort).

  I'm sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear, but it's like that.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• How can I migrate a time machine backup external USB drive to time capsule

  Searched the forums and can't seem to find an answer. With the help of El Capitan 10.11.6. You want to transfer backups Time Machine 4 years on an external USB drive on my new Time Capsule. Any ideas would be MUCH appreciated.

  There is no official method because it has problems.

  There's no official way.

  Here see Q18. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

  We recommend that people not me there. It has not proven reliable long-term. Start a new backup on the TC and keep the USB stick in the form of archive. After a few months or a year you won't have it.

  You have to understand the Time Machine backup otherwise locally the CF network. It is easy enough to move the backup network local but much harder the other way around.
