Since the update of Vista on my external hard drive problems

I have a problem with my external hard drive. A week ago I reinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium on my PC. Everything worked very well, my external hard drive, too. But after installing all the new updates and SP2 my external hard drive has problems. If I copy something from her, or just listen to the music is recorded on it, so overall if I work with her, after 1 to 3 minutes it stops working. I have to sign in to get access to it again. But before installing SP2 updates after SP2 everything worked out very well. So I think that there is a problem with SP2 or the following updates. My Pc is a Dell Dimension 9200 and the external hard drive is a Verbatim 1 TB external hard drive and USB 2.0

I tried to bbot with Ubuntu and delete the Autorun.inf. Now everything works fine again.
Thank you

    Independent of how this feature works, you want to have your photos in one place and have a backup (second copy) somewhere else. All hard drives will not be successful at some point - some more early, some late - never trust to have your files in any safety devices if they are on a single disc. Once you have your sorted, it would be useful that you will organize/name/tag new photos immediately if the task is relatively short and simple. I copy my photos on my internal hard drive for my camera, take a quick look with preview to see who needs some changes and then decide where to put them - either drop them immediately after naming them or bring in an editing application and then file them away.

  • Install Vista from an external hard drive

    My girlfriend has a laptop Dell Inspiron with Vista Home Premium on it. She has the Dell installation disk, but its optical drive does not work. My laptop HP with an optical drive that works and I used to copy the installation on an external hard drive Seagate disc.

    I want to do a clean install of Vista on Dell sound. Can I just start directly from the folder on the external drive? How can I go about it?

    If your external drive is connected via usb the computer cannot start.  The computer does not scan for a bootable hard drive usb bus.  In addition, if you just copy the disk the file is not bootable.  She needs fix his optical drive if it is faulty.  If it works, you affect the optical drive as the device higher in the boot order in the BIOS Setup.  If you do not have the experience to do this take the computer in a store.

  • Problems reinstalling the programs previously installed on an external hard drive.

    So we have this 900 GB external hard (called the [re] drive) drive still connected to your computer via the USB port. To save space on the local hard drive (drive C), whenever I had to install a program, I would put all of his stuff on the external hard drive. Now, I know it was a stupid idea because it can completely screw your computer somehow. in any case, after I realized that I should only record the program on the computer files, I deleted all the program files on the external hard drive and planned to resettle them on the local C drive. However, for what I'm trying to install on the C drive, I always get a weird error message, and I'm sure it has to do with already being installed on the ext disk. In addition, the ext drive gets disconnected from time to time, and there wearing always changes. It used to be included in the port of J, but now it's on the port of K. When the ext disk used to contain the program files, it was listed under the J drive. After I tried to reinstall everything, the reader became the K drive because he got more unplugged. I don't know that this has something to do with all these installation errors as well. However, no matter what port I plug the ext drive in, it refuses to change: it won't change k. It's so frustrating! I can not even my printer drivers to reinstall correctly, and I'm having a HUGE problem with reinstalling Java. I tried to work around this problem, since a few months now, and now I'm about to take just a baseball bat to this computer and replace this piece of *. And I've already messed around a bit with the registry editor, and I DID find things listed (as in Java or my OfficeJet printer) in the title of the folder on drive J railways, which of course is not an existing file path, because it changed the drive K. But I'm not sufficiently comfortable with the registry, in order to have the courage to do so much = (in any case, someone has any ideas? And the system restore does not restore points soon enough if it's what you recommend.

    Hi Ron,

    What is the exact problem that you are experiencing when trying to reinstall?

    Programs must be uninstalled and reinstalled to the correct location.

    If the deleted programs are still in the Recycle Bin, you can restore them and change the drive back letter and follow the correct procedure.

  • Vista guard setting external hard drive read-only...

    SP1 Vista Ultimate x 64

    My external hard drive (WD Elements 500 GB) guard get the value read-only. I can go in, select all the files, right click > properties and uncheck the 'read only' box, click OK. When I open the drive once again, they are read only once more.

    I tried to go to the security settings for the player and adjusting so that everyone has the right to change the files and so on, to which I have an error message (on each file) saying that it cannot apply security information that the data are protected against writing.

    The drive is formatted in NTFS and says he's got the A attribute.

    What should I do?

    In most cases, only playback status is defined because there may be no "file locking" when editing and simultaneous removal. I suggest try enabled write caching and testing accessibility in writing files.

    Alternatively, you may have a problem of 'ownership' with the reader.

  • Gets the air space, copy Photos on external hard drive.

    If I copy and paste the picture on a USB application (which works very well, I have all my pictures) is the photo still be there when I open the app copied on my computer once I have them deleted on my Mac? I would like to remove all the photos from the first photo app that I have to make room, but keep photos somewhere (not iCloud).

    I would also like to know if after I open the old one and adds new photos of Photos on the Photos app, which is now on my external hard drive. (somewhat like fusion of the old and the new) Is this possible?

    Thank you very much!

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)

    1. exit Photos

    2 copy the library of your folder on the external drive.

    3 press and hold the option (or alt) key while launching Photos. In the menu that appears, select "Choose Library" and navigate to the new location. From there it will be the default location of your library.

    4 test the library, and when you are sure that all is well, trash on your HD internal for free space.

  • Use the TC for backup and as external hard drive

    Hello

    Can I use TC for backup and as external hard drive?

    If yes then when it is full, TC erase my personal data I have stored in TC as a hard drive or erase the oldest backups?

    1. Yes, but you shouldn't. Your working data and backups must be on separate drives in case one of them goes down.

    2. Time Machine will not erase the data it did not originally there.

  • Problems with the PX1267E - 1 32 300 GB external HARD drive

    I got the toshiba (px1267E - 1 32) (300 GB external usb drive)
    At some point I plugged the usb taken in upside down (for a bad reason he did) and of course, it did not work.
    Hmm, I thought that is burned.

    But when is reconnected it quickly he was again detected only on mode slow usb 1.1. I guessed the drive inside was a standard drive, so I removed the drive from the case but. When I put in a different usb transmission case, it is detected and also the correct size (although its more than 200 MB). But it is not formatted.

    I gues the chip of the original envelope has a kind of special way of partitioning. But the data is still on the disk and if I connect it to the orriginal chip sound as good. But still the speed slow usb. Is there a way to read the data by using some kind of software? I save the data and put the disc in another usb enclosure.
    So, to make it short.

    I have a disc to work partially because the usb controller is a little broken (speed slow usb 1.1)
    I tried to read the disc by using the IDE or another external case usb, but windows does not include the partitioning.

    I need to backup data, but need to type SME software so I can unzip the partition.
    PS its not passworded I never put a password on it.

    I hope someone can help me

    > I guess the chip of the original envelope has some kind of special way of partitioning.
    It s no matter what chip it is. This has nothing to do with the partitions on the HARD disk.
    External USB controller can be IDE or SATA controller.

    You said that the external HARD drive has been recognized
    > When I put in a different usb transmission case, that it is detected and also the right size

    I put t understand how the external HARD drive has been recognized by the OS, but generally you should see it in disk management.
    We could also see which partitions are created.

  • External hard drive problems - we have most of the files to get a message "access denied."

    USB connected external hard drive was used with XP.  For a small period of time, we had to connect to a machine from W7.  Now that we are back to the XP machine, we have most of the files to get a message "access denied."  How we fix the problem.  The files are images, videos or music.

    Try this,

    Start in safe mode.
    Open your computer and right click on your external hard drive.
    Go to properties.
    Click Security.
    Click on Edit under a quote "to change permissions, click on change."
    Click on Add.
    Type in "everyone" in the white box.
    Then check in the box "total control".
    Press OK.

    This makes the hard drive usable by everyone (all users and different computers)

    I hope this helps.
