• P30: External hard drive is not detected when you use IEEE 1394 cable

  My P30 not / can not detect my newly acquired Western informed extreme Digitak Drive 320 when I connect via the firewire port. I use a 4-pin cable (which costs a fortune, by the way) who is supposed to be a way to connect this drive to a 6-pin pc.

  My ieee 1394 driver seems to be called 'VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 host controller".

  Can someone tell me what to do? I really need to connect the FireWire drive because I need the USBs for other devices.

  Thank you!

  Hi, Lars

  It is really strange. I use the external DVD drive (DL) using the same cable. I tested it with several units (old Satellite 1900, Tecra M1 and also new Qosmio G20) and everything works perfectly.

  Check the power supply to the external HARD drive.

• External hard drive does not work on windows 7 after using the external hard drive on a mac (osx 10.7)

  title says it all. It does not open on autoplay and does not anywhere, but is always works on mac

  http://www.Mediafour.com/products/MacDrive

  If you want to use the drive to read and save files on both mac & PC I think that you will need create separate partitions on the disk, a formatted for mac and one for the PC.

  The utility linked above only allows access to a mac formatted drive and access the data, having never had to use it I don't know if it allows you to save files PC to the mac player

• Seagate 120 GB external HARD drive could not be detected

  We use Win XP Pro, when you plug the HDD of the promt "Cypress AT2LP RC42" System. How to detect this material?

  In the Device Manager Composite Device failed to start Code: 10

  Hello

  I think it might be 2 possibilities, why it does not work.
  First the external drive is dead and that is why it does not work or there is something wrong with the USB ports.
  Sometimes after installing SP2, the ports will not work.

  For this, I found this Microsoft Knowledge base article:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=873169

  I think you should try to connect this USB HDD on another computer, make sure that the HARD drive is not altered.

  My brother uses a with USB cable external HARD disk that supports 2 USB connectors.
  This cable allows you to use the USB ports and dual power.
  I think that's not a bad idea, try using a USB hub with an external power supply and then connect the HDD to this hub.

  Eventually, it helps.

• IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

  I have a MacBook from 2008. 4 years ago I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive. I have thousands if photos on it. IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

  < re-titled by host >

  I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive.

  Did you move the iPhoto library for the external hard drive or the iPhoto application, or both?

  How is formatted the external hard drive? Is the file system on the drive Mac OS extended (journaled) or other system files?  Is the drive directly connected by USB or similar, or is it a SIN?

  IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times.

  I don't understand - if you force quit smoking, launches the application, or you can not force it quit?

  IPhoto is suspended without doing anything, when you launch?

  What version of iPhoto does? And what version of Mac OS X?

• External hard drive is not recognized

  My external hard drive is not recognized by windows, the led lights up but no display on 'my computer '.

  Try it on another computer, if it doesn't, it could be a bad cable or hard drive box. Use a different cable or an enclosure.

  If it works on another computer, on your computer check the disk, if it is displayed in computer management. In Explorer, right click on "Computer", click 'manage '. Under computer management, storage, click on "disk management". If it is showing a right click on it, click on «Change drive letter and path...» ", click the"Edit"button and then assign a drive letter.

  Or if the reader is displayed, you can check in the Device Manager. In the device under Universal Serial Bus controllers Manager looking for the drive generally a mass storage device, right-click on it, uninstall and then restart. If does not uninstall everything under USB controllers, then restart your computer.

• Re: Tecra 9100 - new HARD drive is not detected

  I have a Toshiba Harddisk provide a Tecra 9100. Checking the BIOS it shows "Enhanced IDE", but you are trying to boot from the disc does not work HARD. Even trying to install a new operating system present, that the HARD drive is not detected.
  From the laptop is also very long.
  Any idea?

  Your new HARD drive is larger than 120 GB? The HARD disk controller supports the 28-bit LBA and large drives as 120 GB will not be recognized by the BIOS.

  What you mean with Enhanced IDE? The BIOS recognizes the new HARD drive with model number?

• HARD drive is not detected in BIOS - need to recover data.

  What happened is that my laptolaptop takes a long time to start, so I slapped him. After that I kept getting the error message "no boot device, please restart". So whenever I restarted I kept getting this message. I also sometimes had "Media Fail" message. I pressed F2 at startup to get into the Bios. Settings so check I saw that hard disk still showed it's a Hitachi one.

  My hard drive was clicking to it so I searched online advice on what to do and I saw on the opening of the hard drive in a clean environment, ensuring that no dust went on the drive. I expect the head being stuck on disc, but it was not stuck. So basically, I put the lid on. Since then, the hard drive was not detected.

  Not in the Bios (he said no). I bought a CD to restart which can temporarily become Windows to the screen under Xp, so I can go to the computer to retrieve data from the hard drive. It shows nothing. There is always a clicking hard drive, more a ticking sound. It is always possible that an expert could remove the hard drive and recover my data that are valuable photos and videos.

  Thank you

  What model of laptop do you have?
  Try to set the BIOS to default settings and check if the HARD drive is recognized correctly.

• Seagate external hard drive will not mount

  I can't get a TB Seagate Backup Plus 2 player to mount on my Macbook Pro 2011. When I plug it into the USB port, disk utility detects it. I ran check disk and it said the necessary repair disk. Then I ran the repair disk and it said it was successful. However, the player still don't let it go. The disc appears on the other Mac, but not my Macbook Pro. It is not the problem of the USB port either because I was able to mount other external hard drives in order to use it. The reader has already worked on my Mac until I updated my OS from Snow Leopard in Yosemite.

  Something could be wrong with my Mac that prevents the installation disc, or is it more likely to be a problem with the drive?

  I guess it is related to software driver for Seagate to support the NTFS on mac.

  OS X support NTFS natively, but read-only.

  The installation of the supplied driver allows read-write access, but it is obsolete seamingly.

  I just got the last of Seagate site, but it is still pretty new. The Info said taking in charge until Mavericks only.

  If this is the case, you can take a from below.

  1. Uninstall the current driver and expect to release a new Seagate. In the meantime, you can have read access to the disk.
  2. Uninstall the current driver and get the latest version of the driver by the developer instead of Seagate. The last time the developer (Paragon) even on El Capitan and without limitation to Seagate drive. (Paragon is not free but has the trial period - http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ )
  3. Uninstall the current driver, then take the alternative. The son will be your help for this. - Need to write to the drive (ntfs) outside Yosemite
