• External drive suddenly not visible

  I have Windows Vista Home Premium

  Yesterday, I was using a reader as I often do.  I know that it is properly formatted and readable that I placed and removed information on this disk several times.  When I plugged the drive today, the reader has not read.  He did not appear in the computer, disk management, devices Manager or anywhere else.

  Try it on another computer. If it does not it be a bad box or cable. Try using a known working cable.

• Satellite L300 (PSLB8C-0H901X) does not work

  My laptop Toshiba Satellite L300 PSLB8C-0H901X, does not work, no power, no MESSAGE, nothing, lamp power and charge Get when pluged into anything else, any known issues? All the fixes, thank you in advance for your help.

  Of course, your laptop is completely dead. In such situation, there is no magic solution and I m afraid that you need professional help. If there is absolutely no reaction is maybe defective electronic power supply and the motherboard must be exchanged.

  As you know this is part more expensive so you need to check if this is the solution for you.
  Call, explain the situation and let it check your laptop.

• My Macbook Pro gives me a message saying: external drive is not readable by this computer. But he worked Twitter.com. What can I do?

  I tried to move my music and my pictures of my Macbook Pro 2012 to other Macbook Pro 2009, but the older one is absolutely remained stuck. So I unplugged. Now, it will not be read by Macs, and give me a message, the external drive is not readable by this computer. Both are running on the same iTunes updated and Maverick. What can I do to recover thousands of photos and CD?

  The disc in particular is either corrupted or has failed.   If you don't have a backup, you find yourself working with a data recovery service, which will not come cheap, and they don't guarantee any results - to try to shoot everything that is left behind.   Reformatting the drive - if it has corrupted and not failed - could bring the disk itself to the utility, but that won't help with any data on the disk.

• WD external drive is not detected by the Windows backup program

  Original title: with a WD external drive backup program

  I have a WD My Book Essential 320 GB external drive. The Windows backup program does not recognize the drive... The drive IS recognized on my computer and I can access and transfer and copy and paste to it without problem. It's just the backup program which does not. No error message or anything. Only, it does not recognize the drive when I get to the destination area. I tried to update the drivers. The WD support site has Backup downloads for OTHER external drives, but not this one. Their Web site says to contact Microsoft support. Any suggestions?

  Hey mrlray,

  Here's what you can do.

• Satellite L300-1BD - output does not work VGA

  Hello.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 1BD (model PSLB8E). I've been usinng the VGA output to connect to my LG tv. It worked fine until last week. All of a sudden the TV won't not reckognized by cell phone. TV says no external device is connected. I tried different things: commissioning with the TV connected and not connected via the VGA cable, by pressing the FN + F5, removing the battery and pressing on the powerbutton, verified to the last videodriver, deleted the driver existing and installed new... unfortunately without result. I also tried to plug the TV with a different VGA cable, but no result. It is not the TV because I tried to connect the laptop to a TFT monitor and it did not work as well. Tested the VGA cable with my friends laptop: it works perfectly.

  The strange thing is: if I crochet TV up the laptop, I can hear the phone makes the his "new hardware found" and turns black same laptopscreen for a second, then everything appears on the laptopscreen. If I check the graphic properties with the right click on my desktop, I see they are no set for 'clone device ". As if the laptop computer knows, something is connected, but just cannot transfer the image to the TV screen.

  The graphics card is a Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset family.
  The OS is Vista Home Basic (32).

  It's a shame that the VGA output seems to be down because I watch tons of videos and movies through my laptop on the TV screen. I don't know if this could be a software or a hardware malfunction. If someone has an idea or an idea, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

  Marcin.

  Hello

  All that you have done to test the functionality of a VGA port is good, but I assume that there must be a hardware problem and I recommend you to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider.
  Of course, on this path virtual, we can only speculate what may be the problem, but it should be tested correctly. If you want to last and ultimate test Exchange HARD drive, install original OS, you got with the functionality of your laptop and test with the factory settings.

• Satellite L300 - 1AP PSLB8E starts not--a black screen and blinking cursor

  I have a Satellite L300-1AP model no PSLB8E.
  While trying to do a system restore on it the screen became empty outside the slider, and that's how it remains.

  I can switch off and restart it, will begin to start, then exactly the same thing happening.

  Plesae any ideas?

  > pressing the zero key "0" turn on the power, when you see a white bottom bar and hear a glance release the Zero key and it should start installation or reinstallation of your system

  I doubt it will work because this function is NOT implemented on Toshiba notebooks European but as I know about the series of notebook Toshiba U.S.!

  You can try to press the F8 key. An option called fix my computer should then be visible. Select it, then choose Toshiba HDD Recovery. Then a HARD drive recovery procedure must begin.

  But if it of not possible to choose this option, and then you take your recovery disk and must try to boot from it.
  If you don t have a recovery disk, and then use a CD of original installation MS windows, or you can order a new disc of recovery from here:

• Satellite L300 install driver for USB 2.0 adapter - does that mean?

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite L300 and the wireless works without any problems (except intermittent breaks in connectivity not experienced by other users of the netwrok). When I logged in this morning, I immediately get the following message:

  Windos needs to install the software driver of USB2.0 WLAN adapter

  I don't have a USB adapter, but the Realtek one standard. I tried to reinstall the Realtek driver nothing works. When I click on search and install the driver software, the system continues to search for hours without stopping.

  Wireless networks are not accessible; the device does not work correctly.

  Anyone know what is happening?

  See you soon

  Anders

  Hello

  He s strange because it sounds like you would use a WLan external stick.
  But you use internal WLan card right?

  I m not very well what s wrong, but it is worth to install the WLan driver.

  First, you need to go to Device Manager and should remove the network card from Device Manager wireless, you will find it in the network controllers.
  Then, you must restart the device.

  After the reboot, Windows will ask the Wlan driver you should visit the page of the Toshiba driver and need to download the latest driver and then reinstall it.

• WD My Passport drive external drive will not mount once my Macbook Pro is already on

  Hello

  I actually had this problem for a year or two, but I'm finally getting bugged to this topic enough to see if it can be 'fixed '.

  I have a 2 to WD My Passport portable HD connected to my macbook pro via an external (wall outlet) powered TRUST 5 x USB3 Hub.  If everything is connected, when I start the macbook pro there is no problem and the WD My Passport is mounted in the finder.  But if I remove manually the hard drive and then try to mount it again while the macbook pro is running it doesn't mount not.  It used to, but he won't now.

  In the past the WD My passport would need to unplug and perhaps the USB3 hub would need power cable disconnect from him and the USB hubs out the macbook pro.  So when I joined this new and plugged the hard drive WD in the hub, it would rise very well.  But now it's just point blank refuses to ride until I restart the macbook pro.  Once I restart it it climbs perfectly and stays up forever--until it is dismantled manually - and then I have to restart the macbook pro again so he could mount once more.

  I tried all combinations of pull cables and adapters to power but nothing has worked.  After dismantling the WD hd and plug back on the USB3 light led on the hub hub lights up and the hard drive turns manually, but, as I say, it is not mount and it is not visible in disk utility.

  Any ideas please?  It's a bit annoying to have to keep restarting the mac whenever I had to unplug the hard drive WD.

  "As issued" WD Passport appear to cause a number of reports of trouble around here. You have already taken the first "not best" - using a powered hub. Just make sure that the hub is really power (lights on, for example). It could be that the external drive is in its death throws.

  This happen if the WD is the only thing on the powered hub?

  The Mac USB ports work with other devices?

  Here's what my experience with these things has believing me. WD made great bare discs, but I can't be so kind to their pens. Three questions:

  (1) I think that they should use chipsets which are not very easy to Mac.

  (2) most driving the ship formatted for Windows

  (3) even those shipped as "Mac editions have some odd which makes it difficult to access file formatting.

  If you do not have to share the drive with a Windows computer, you can reformat the drive and that often fixes "fail to mount/recognize" question. Disk utility is your tool of choice here because it is already installed on your Mac. Completely erase the WD drive by selecting the tab 'Clear' in the bar tabs to disk utility. Define the plan of Partition to GUID Partition map and journaled for Mac extended format. Press the button 'clear '. The reader will now will be rid of eccentric WD partitioning and formatting schemes and be a good Mac hard drive.

  If you share the road with a Windows computer, consider getting a better workout. After having fought external drives 'brand' on my computers and others that I maintain, I now use only boxes of other computer world with naked WD drives inside. Since this change, I have zero problems. For my MacBook Pro, I use this forum:

  https://eShop.MacSales.com/item/OWC/MEPMU3ES/

  I ordered the external power optionally for use at home and go on the road bus-powered. It's an empty envelope - just a hard drive of nu. They are more expensive than the stuff that Staples puts on sale every weekend, but are much more reliable. I ask the question. "What is my value data?"

• Satellite L300 wireless works do not with my particular brand of modem

  Hello, I really need help here.

  My laptop is Toshiba Satellite L300, and I got it since April. I can't connect wireless via the modem I have here at home (netgear DGN2000).
  I can connect to other modems however. I've updated my wireless with Atheros card, but its still does not.
  If anyone has any suggestions please please please help!

  Thank you

  If you can connect to other routers on that it is proof that your laptop WLAN module works properly.
  In my opinion you cannot connect to your one because of wrong settings on your router.

  Your laptop detects your router? Your router is visible for Satellite L300?

• Satellite L300-13R - WLAN does not not on Windows 7

  Hello!

  I think that this is not a problem. Windows 7 is only a beta OS and at the moment, the pilot decision-making is not very good.

  You might find some drivers on the site of the factory of the WLAN card. In your case, it should be Realtek.

  Good bye

• Drive external DRIVE will not mount after resizing in Windows

  Hi all

  I got a 1 TB external drive that I used for a while about 10 Windows and OSX (El Capitan). I had two partitions Configuration for use on every platform without any problems.

  Then, I needed extra space on the Windows partition, so I think that, if I remember correctly, that I've resized using the disk management tool in Windows. I reduced the OSX volume and increased the size of the Windows volume. I can probably hear you all shout now.

  Surprise, my volume OSX will now not mount when I run in El Capitan. It does not show in disk utility, and the only way to 'see' it is using diskutil:

• External drive is not accessible by Time Machine or disk utility

  I have a USB drive connected on my MAC (OS X El Capitan) the drive has 3 partitions, one is used for bacp of documents (200 GB), empty (300 GB) and for the backup copies made with Time Machine (300 GB). Since yesterday, Time machine does recognize more the drive for the installation of the most recent reserve backup copy, The Time Machine, the disk partition is also not found by Finder and when the drive is connected via USB to the MAC, disk utility does not but rest in mode search, without giving any information.

  The MAC system information indicates that all the three partitions connected via the USB bus, ar

  I can't remove the disks with the indications of the boom, but when I remove them physically a warning I thay sgiven the duisk has been removed as not appropriate.

  I think that something is wrong with the partitioning of the disk, but I see no way to retrieve the disc.

  Does have same problem or if it can indicate a path to a solution of the problem.

  Stop

  Restart and rest the PRAM

  How to reset the NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

  start in safe mode

  Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning - Apple Support

  Reconnect the drive (and any other external devices)

  If the disc is not visible in disk utility, you can try to connect to another computer and check it or reformat if all else fails.

  a disc formatted in anything other than extended journaled Mac will not be usable with Time Machine. If you need to reformat the drive in NTFS or FAT or ExFat, format Windows PC then reconnect to the mac, once the drive is recognized, reformat with extended Mac.

  It is also possible that the drive is dead. If it is still under warranty it can be replaced, but manufacturers don't offer a premium-free data recovery. see the manufacturer's Web site. you will need the serial number of the drive.

• Satellite L300 - hard drive Installer for OS only

  When I opened my Satellite L300 the other day I discovered that I have 2 slots hard drive and I have a spare SATA drive. I'm looking to set up a disc for the operating system and the other for all my data. I was told to do it in the BIOS but I don't want to waste time in it because I don't know what to change. This who should I / change?

  As much as I know, that you do not make anything in the BIOS. If two hard drives are recognized correctly install own OS on the new created partition C. Later, in Windows Explorer, you will see two hard drives and the second you can for example create two partitions for your data.

  There is nothing special, if there's second HARD drive.
