  • External drive HARD Toshiba 1 TB does not work on my laptop but works on another PC

    Hello
    I used my drive external HARD for almost a year with no problems until now. When I hook it up to my laptop and try to open it, the computer laptop everything freezes and I can't do anything.
    It is recognized in the Device Manager where it says "this device cannot start. Code 10 "and"the process of hosting the driver for this device has finished".

    Should I try to uninstall and reinstall even if it works without problem on another computer?
    USB ports on my laptop seem to be OK that other devices work well.

    Thanks for help.

    It looks like a USB driver problem.
    I think you should first disconnect the HARD drive.
    Then go to Device Manager, look for USB hubs and controllers and uninstall/delete all the USB controllers.
    After that, restart the system. Wait for USB devices deleted would be recognized and then connect the USB HDD to one of the USB ports.

    I hope this helps.

  • Internal and external drives hard. Vista and XP recognizes the limits? The partitions ok?

    Hello. I had a few questions. It focuses on internal and external HDD. I have Vista and XP. I read a bit of info I would like to shed some light on.

    I watched an external HARD disc. A Western Digital 2 to My Book Studio Edition II external HARD drive, USB 2.0 / FireWire 800 / eSATA. In the end what he says:

    The system configuration required

    • Available USB port, FireWire 800 or 400 port, port eSATA or eSATA adapter card
    • Mac OS X 10.5.2 10.4.10+, +.
    • Windows 2000/XP/Vista
      Note: the 4 TB version works with Windows® Vista only. Windows 2000/XP do not support hard drives with capacities above 2 TB.

    I guess it's true. So: If someone were to buy a 4 TB model: can you even plug the drive in Windows XP and then partition it in two? Or will it give errors or not be recognized?

    What about Windows 7? I guess it's more advanced than Vista. Obviously.

    I am looking for 3 Tb + internal and external HARD drive. I can not find them. I ' v looked on the websites Seagates and Western Digital, Future Shop and Best Buy, local stores, etc. Maybe I missed them. I think I can start to see well for the holiday season.

    Thank you.

    I don't think that there may be a problem with xp sp3. I don't know with vista sp2 and 7 should work for you.

    BIOS update is also important.

  • Could not open any project or external drive backup files

    Hello world

    The way I got things set up, is that my final cut pro project has been saved on the external drive. Whenever I open it, it picks up from the external hard drive. Recently, I had a power outage that stopped my external drive and crashed my FCP X. When I turned things on, I kept getting an error that the FCP closes unexpectedly. I have the option to ignore or to reopen. I tried to open my backups, but I get the same error. Sometimes he was telling me to save it to the internal drive and it would actually open, but I get a lot of lack of links to files. My mac doesn't have a lot of space, so I need to be stored on the external hard drive.

    I thought that maybe it's my sharing and permissions of the drive in the menu get info, then I have everything given access, but does not work. I tried trashing the preference of the FCP, but that did not work.

    I have version 10.2.3 and on Mac OSX 10.11.6 El Capitan

    Could someone help me please? I don't know what else to do.

  • To access the files on Western Digital MYBOOK 500 GB external drive

    I'm on a PC running Svc Pack 3 Windows XP and had a Western Digital MYBOOK 500 GB external drive connected works very well and
    then I moved my PC set-up to another room and my problem began.

    When I turn on the system detects now the MYBOOK so I sent a message to Microsoft and received the following response:

    A computer that is running Windows XP cannot detect a USB, an Apple iPod flash drive or an external hard disk drive.
     
    YET, if I unplug the power of the MY BOOK and plug it back... it is now fastened on my system than the 'G' drive and I can open it, see the directory of the file but cannot open or access data.
     
    Also, once it is detected, I get the message balloon of text to the following address:
    Windows - delayed write failed
    Windows was unable to save all the data for the file G:\$Mft.
    The data has been lost. This error can be caused by a failure
    your network connection or computer hardware. Please try
    to save this file elsewhere.
     
    And when I click on a specific file I get another message
    The path for the file name G:\1Dons (2) \5Funstuff (2) \cmptrguy.ppt is not valid
    Please check that the path and the name are correct.
    "WHAT CAN I DO TO HAVE ACCESS TO THESE FILES - IT ' S ALL MY CURRENT WORK GIRLS ACTIVE
     

    Looks like you have a corruption of the data on your disk/file system.  Once you are able to mount as a drive letter, try to perform a check of the disk drive.  The procedure accelerated this:
    Double-click "My computer"-> right click on the drive-> properties-> tools (tab)-> click 'Check now'--> check that the two options-> start.

    or follow the procedure here:
    "How to perform disk error in Windows XP check"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265 >

    Please keep in mind that it can take more than two hours to perform according to the size of the disk and the amount of corruption and if they're using USB1, 2 or 3.  In cases where corruption is bad, sometimes this can make matters worse so if you can back up all the files in the first place, do.

    The one and only true definition of a 'Important file"is"a file has been saved.

    HTH & good luck,

  • Access denied to external drive

    I have an external drive, which works perfectly well. But I've just updated from vista to W7, and now I can not access the disk from that specific computer. I get access denied. On the properties, all users have full access. And the funny part is on my other computer, with the exact same OS, the drive works perfectly. So, I expect that there is a setting that I didn't know.
    Is there someone with good ideas on how to solve this problem?

  • Drive hard treatment noise just continuously

    Hi all

    I bought the Toshiba laptop in September 2006 and now is under warranty. The problem is that processing HARD drive noise comes from the HARD drive but it works very well. I mean, when the computer is processing something, drive hard work and during this process, the SOUND comes which is irretraceable.

    Normally, this type of noise comes from the old hard drives. Can any body guide me what I have to do. Can I claim warranty in such conditions or any other solution

    Thank you

    I recommend you contact the partner of service authorized in your country as soon as possible without a lot of discussion. They should check and if necessary you will get new HARD drive. This now, while the warranty is still valid.
