  • External hard drive gives USB not recognized error

    I have a Western Digital Passport 80 GB HD, which worked fine with XP until today.  I plugged this morning and received an error not recognized USB.  I followed the troubleshooting tips and online help.  It seems that in most cases, if you go to computer management / disk management, you can see the external hard drive.  This is not the case with mine.  I don't see the player.  I downloaded the recovery software, but everything is based on the premise that the drive appears.  Mine does not work.  Can someone help me?

    Thank you.

    Unfortunately, this drive has probably went wrong.  Have you tried another cable to connect your player to your computer?  It may be a long shot, but it is possible that the cable could be damaged.  You may need to take your car to a specialist in recovery to recover the data.  I apologize for the bad news.

  • External Hard Drive - you do not have permission to access this folder.

    I have a question to do this and it is for the most part been answered on another topic, but the mine goes further; I have made a homegroup in Win 7 and added my third computer Vista, and shared my external hard drive to it.  Only problem is, I want both computers to write and be able to connect the player to the vista computer for faster transfers.  I wonder if she shares made it difficult for the computer to vista to read, and you wonder how all the access permissions, it seems that whenever I do a folder on the Win 7 computer, I have to re - authorize the permissions.  Seizing property in 7 will continue this problem if I want to use the hard drive under vista?  In addition, I get not him "you do not have authorization error", and I also get a "access denied." In a first time what was going on only the vista, but now its started happening on the 7.  (I tried sharing and security for everyone).

    I thought about it, I had to create another group by taking the reader to computer vista and adding a group to the location of the vista computer, then in the description of name I had to put the name of the vista user account and allow full control in the same workgroup name settings

  • How do I back up to external hard drive that is not an available drive

    I have a Vista and my computer alerts me needs to back up, but fails because the "D" drive is full.  I did a cleanup and still not enough space.   I plugged my external hard drive and tried to return to the top, but this isn't an option to store up to only D.   How can I clean the drive as well as to add an external hard drive as a backup option?

    Hello

    D: is normally your partition recovery and between 5-15GBs in size.

    If the above is correct for your case, read this:

    Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

    1. to reinstall Vista from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

    F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

    You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

    2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

    Also ask them how to make records.

    Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

    There are backups on an external hard drive.

    To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.

  • Seagate external HARD drive expansion will not identify Windows 7 x 64. OK in a first time and fine on Vista x 86.

    Recently installed Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 Vista Home Premium x 86. Under Vista, everything was fine. Less than 7, my Seagate expansion (1.5 TB) hard drive initially was recognized (I have iTunes library I can't play to prove :)) after a few days using 7, however, I lost the external HARD drive. I get the error message is "software device driver is not properly installed." In Device Mgr, it says it's an "unknown device" with the yellow! triangle. "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) "appears in the details of the device. No updated drivers are available. Windows updates are up to date, nothing helps. Restart, reinstall, restore driver, deactivation, nothing works. Tried to update my BIOS, but it is already the latest version of Dell. Trying any other Dell Update, what it offers is the Download Manager, but not actual updates I select. I'm not allowed to use this player all of a sudden, after that it worked fine for a few days!

    Thanks in advance for any helpful info!

    All this occurred within three days of using Windows 7 x 64, so I don't think there is a previous restore point to go back to. However, I would not I install updates to be rendered unusable and allow my system, and their insecurity. And, as stated in my original post, I have gone through the drivers to uninstall or disable normal, remove, reinstall, etc. etc. without help.

    An update my original post, I finally got the unit of work, although not as fast as it was in Vista x 86. I did back up the device to a laptop from Vista Home Premium I have, let it load the drivers it needs, and then after reconnection to 7, it has been working well, but overall slowly in read/write functions and clicking on a lot more than he did primarily when operating. What I went through get this thing to work, I think that the currently loaded driver is for a 32 bit OS, and there is no update (again) for 64-bit. I leave it alone, because it is functional, and if it is not recognized after the next set of Windows updates, I guess I have to restore to a previous image.

    Dell doesn't seem to have anything for her, and Seagate plans explicitly on their site that they don't provide drivers for this HARD drive while referring to Microsoft or the manufacturer of the equipment for drivers.

    Anyone know how to get your hdd to work again?
    When I try to open the WD hard drive in, start - computer and then double-click the hard disk drive, I just that stand: F: \ is not accessible.

    I built my desktop computer, on my own, win7 64-bit SP1 included, MSI MB, 128 GB Crucial M4 main hard drive.

    * Have tried to reboot the computer, does not work.
    * Plug the WD hdd in my laptop 64 bit Win7, do not work, same error.

    In Disk Manager, I see that the drive works fine, and I see that it has the right amount of space, since the last time I used the hard drive.

    Which means that I prefer not to format the drive hard until I moved all my important files on another hard drive.

    But how can I contact with my Western Digital elements Desktop 1.5 WDBAAU0015HBK to external hard drive?

    Hi Jessica,.

    First things first: Let's try to save your files!

    Method 1: (take a look at the method 2 first before you start method 1, it is perhaps more to your tastes).

    Since you have to build your own PC I guess you are tech savvy enough to boot your PC in a Linux environment. I've seen many HARD drives that suddenly don't would not open in Windows more but normally open in an environment Linux like Ubuntu, Mint, DSL, etc. etc.

    • Enter a blank (empty) USB key.
    • Download Universal USB install.
    • Find a Linux distro to your tastes. Just take a look at Distrowatch or just go with my favorite version: Linux Mint and download the .iso image file.
    • Run the USB installation tool
    • Step 1 scroll down to Linux Mint 13 cinnamon (or the distribution chosen by you)
    • Step 2 Browse for the right .iso image file downloaded
    • In step 3, select the empty USB.
    • Start the process.

    When finished restart your PC with the USB attached. During startup, select the menu boot options and choose to boot from USB. Now boot Linux Mint. No installation required! : D

    When you arrived at the office, search your Western Digital HDD elements in 'computer '. Now hope and pray that it will open! If so: start copying all the files and folders immediately to another drive.

    When everything is save go in Windows and format of the WD hard drive. With a little luck, it'll work again. You'd better check the SMART data to see if the drive status.

    Method 2:

    Since the drive appears in disk management, try to make an image using a program like DriveimageXML or what you want. Once finished, try to read the contents of the image. If you are able to do this, you have just saved your data. Now format the WD hard drive. With a little luck, it'll work again. You'd better check the SMART data to see if the drive status.

    Good luck, Sebastian.
