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.

    Sounds like the hard drive has failed.

    The only thing I can think that you can try is to update your Chipset drivers. I don't know if this will fix the problem even if, as you have pointed out that the machine can detect other USB devices already.

  • Transfer Ipod Satellite C660 library to external HARD disk

    I'm trying to find a way to transfer my ipod on my external hard drive library. I saw on you tube, but when I try on my C660 laptop, it does nothing.

    Can anyone help.

    Hello

    Maybe I m wrong, but why don't you post this request here in the Toshiba forum?
    In my opinion this has nothing to do with the Toshiba laptop.
    If you want to move or synchronize the files from ipod, use the Apple iTunes software.

    I'm not familiar with ITunes (I put t it) but I guess you have to change the path file somewhere in the settings of iTunes and the path should point to the external DRIVE connected to the laptop drive.

  • Problem of the Satellite A100-912 usb external HARD drive

    Please help guys!

    I installed Win 7 32 bit on my laptop Satellite A100-912. Everything works perfectly in addition to having problem reading external usb HDD (disk appears in disk management, but are not accessible). These discs are not defective, because I use them on some other Pcs. Thumb drives are not a problem at all. Tried to use the self-powered USB hub but without success. Not sure if this is a related issue of Bios or a material limitation of this device. Thank you!

    > Everything works perfectly as well as having problem reading external usb HDD (disk appears in disk management, but are not accessible).

    The HARD disk appears in disk management, but you see the additional HDD in my computer?

    I don't know Mr. what could cause this and he s strange that you cannot access the USB HDD, even if it has been recognized correctly
    Maybe you should try updating the chipset driver.
    Chipset driver controls the ports of interface USB/so it of certainly worth a try

  • My external hard drive will not go up and I'm not sure what the question is

    My external hard drive will show up in disk utility, but not of viewfinder. I tried to hit "repair disk" and he says it will take 4 hours, but after a while, that he's finally going to say that it is impossible to repair the disk and I need to make a backup.

    Help?

    Almost always, the question is quite simple: the hard drive is faulty or has failed. So I hope that you have a backup of everything that is on, it is absolutely essential.

  • 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.

    "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!

    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

  • C50 - D satellite - external hard drive is not recognized

    Just Satellite C50 D but are unable to read or recognize my LaCie hard drive.
    As it has all the data from my old computer, it is rather important. Can someone provide help and advice on the way to a) the disc or b) transfer all data in the memory of the laptop

    Thank you very much
    A  :-)

    Hello

    The laptop supports 1 USB 3.0 port and 2 USB 2.0 ports.
    I recommend you connect the external HARD drive to each port (USB 2.0) and USB3.0 just to check if it is not a compatibility problem. But generally, it shouldn't be a big problem to connect a USB 2.0 device to a USB 3.0 external.

    However, it could also be that this external HARD drive needs more than usual 500mA power supplied by a USB 2.0 port. In this case, you must use a USB cable to Y to connect the HARD drive to two USB ports.

  • Satellite A200-1If - drive external HARD after a while is "unknown device".

    Hello!

    I have such a problem: I work with my external case alu Toshiba 3.5 HDD 500 GB and after awhile of copy of the files in the laptop it disappears and appears this luckily device recognized.
    Can it be caused by not enough power in the USB port?

    THX for any help or the workaround

    Hello

    Yes, this may be caused by the fact, there is not enough power provided by the USB port. first of all, note that external USB hard drives 3.5 inches are generally designed to be used with systems of office due to their higher power needs (this is also the reason that many need an external power supply of their own). my suggestion would be to buy a 2.5 inch drive external hard USB is designed to be used with laptops. Another reason that the hard drive may disappear when copying files, is that there may be a problem with the connection of the USB cable between the laptop and the external HARD drive. I suggest to check that both ends are connected properly and not put any pressure on the cables and keep them stable.

    I hope this helps you with your question

  • How to change the Satellite L670D-103 using new SSD 80 GB HARD drive?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L670D-103 with a 320 GB HARD drive running at 5400 RPM which is too slow for me.

    So I plan to change this factory by a new SSD HDD to increase the performance of the overall system :)

    But as the SSD are expensive, I have only a 80 GB SSD.

    I built the recovery on a USB media and I want to use it to restore my system to the new SSD (I previously did the space needed to ensure that all data can be stored on my new SSD 80 GB space; p)

    Retrieving SSD partitioning new procedure is done without error, but when copying image to restore data to freshly created the partition, one not enough space error stop the process!

    It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb).

    So, how can I restore mysystem on my new SSD?

    Thank you
    Stéphane.

    > It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb)

    To my knowledge, you have different recovery options:

    (* 1) * recovery of factory default software

    (a) recovery to out of box state
    (b) recovery without changing the HARD drive partitions
    (c) recovery of a custom size partition

    (* 2) * "erase the HARD drive.

    I think that if you choose factory default software recovery of-> recovery to out of box state then the recovery would create exactly the same size of partition on the new SSD which were available on the 320 GB HARD drive.
    I think this might be the reason why you have received this message.

    Perhaps you need to choose the 3rd option Recovery on a custom size partition

    What do you think?
