• Is it possible to install Windows XP Home Edition on my external hard drive?

  I am currently using a computer with Windows 7 installed on the internal hard drive and want to install Windows XP on my external hard drive. However when I try to install Windows XP it says that my current version is newer than the one on the CD. I know that you can not install an old on top again, but what I want to do is install on my external not my intern.

  Any help is appreciated, thanks.

  Unless your external hard drive is an eSATA drive (which for all purposes useful, behaves as if it IS an internal hard drive), then the answer is no.

• Western Digital elements Desktop 1.5 WDBAAU0015HBK to external hard drive F:------is not accessible? !

  Hello

  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?

  Best regards

  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.

• How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate? I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2),

  How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate?  I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2), and I need to do backups plus two from other computers on the same external hard drive.  To do this, I think I would need to identify each backup file separate I know which file to specify if I need to do a restore.

  How can I accomplish this? The program does not seem to give me the ability to specify a file to which to write the backup during a given session files.  In addition, I do not understand why I can not see the file name in Windows Explorer - my files options are defined to be able to view hidden and system.  Would be grateful for any help you can provide, tonight if possible.   Best regards, Oliver for Norm

• You can save the projects that you are currently editing on an external hard drive?

  I went travelling this summer and want to make a video of all my photos / videos. As you can imagine there are many of them and they are on different cards memory. So I bought a disc external hard samsung which is comparable with Mac to store all my content. The first batch of files that I imported from my hard drive to iMovie went on well, but then I tried to import some more and I do not have enough memory space on my Macbook Air.

  Is there anyway you can get iMovie to use my external hard drive to save projects as default? So instead of import content and she being temporarily stored on my macbook while editing, it would save on my hard drive?

  I am very new and relatively new to mac for iMovie so I apologize if this doesn't make much sense.

  Yes you can.  For a long time I used iMovie 11 but transfer events to and external drive is covered in the help files to: http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6d42c

  and the transfer of projects to: http://help.apple.com/imovie/#move7d66613

  Note that the disk should be in Mac format.  If you are not sure, check using disk utility.

• Can I fix Windows XP Home edition instead of reformatting hard drive?

  Hi there, my girlfriends A100 laptop has developed a fault where it gets loading up xp (xp with the blue loading bar loading screen) then back to the option screen giving options such as the safe mode with network, invites order and last known configuration. None of these work. I have not changed any hardware or installed software recently. I have a disc of toshoba product recovery, what I would like to know is it give me the option to repair of xp and I like to keep my personal files or it will completely erase my hard drive for a new installation?

  I used this disc today but got so far but did not select the option of recovery in the case where this removes the hard drive. This could not have come at a worse time, I spent yesterday reformat my external hard drive, so the only place where are our precious files on the laptop! If I can't repair xp I might have to buy a hard drive adapter 2.5 inch computer notebook to a desktop pc to access my files. Any help would be very very useful!

  PS: apologies if there any obvious mistakes, Im using my wii to write this and his age!

  Recovery time WILL erase the HARD drive. You should back up your files first.

  You have a few options:

  1) boot from a generic XP Installation CD and choose repair Windows. This may not work, the problem may be caused by anything whatsoever.

  2) boot from a Live CD Linux such as Knoppix (or BartPE XP-based) and copy your important files to the c: (Windows partition) on a USB key.

  (3) remove the laptop HARD drive and attach it to another PC using a USB 2.5 "HDD SATA Adapter (they are cheap), then copy the important files and then run the recovery.

  (4) attach the computer portable HARD drive directly on a desktop PC motherboard. The desktop PC must be equipped with SATA connectors. connectors SATA 2.5 "and 3.5" are the same.

• Video editing with an external hard drive

  I just bought a MacBook Pro, 8 GB Ram, 128 GB SSD. I know he will give first for my needs very well, but the size of the hard drive is not ideal for the storage of video. I have two old 1 TB hard drives, one from an old computer that died and another through a mix to the top (long story), a Western Digital, the other Hitachi HGST, but both run at 5400 RPM / MIN. I know this isn't an ideal speed for video editing, but I wonder if there is a way to use one of them as a drive externally (with the appropriate forum) as a video editing platform. I also read a lot about Raid being ideal for video editing, but I admit I don't know much on not the Raid beyond what I read in brief article works. I also have a cheap Toshiba external 300 GB hard drive.

  Is it possible to use effectively the foregoing as an external video source? Together or individually. I appreciate all the advice on the issue, but please do not suggest buy a new hard drive of any kind, my budget is very tight right now.

  Thank you!

  According to the media, if its very strongly compressed mp4 files you can get away with using a single 1 to 5400 RPM drive in an external enclosure. If the media is higher bitrate, you may need to use a box that can contain 2 or more drives and offers raid 0. If you go with a bigger case, as one who holds 4hdd or more, look who he has raid 5. raid 0 will attempt to double the speed of the two hard disks 1 to. You then have to find one that can connect to your computer, in your budget. Thunderbolt, esata or usb 3.0 are common options, according to who will use your macbook pro.

• To the help of two time Capsules, but a as a external hard drive only

  I just bought the new Time Capsule 2 TB "ac" and created a new network home wireless with it (TC is connected by Ethernet to the Modem/Router). I also use this TC to my Time Machine backup. Now, I would like to use my old Time Capsule ' don't (dish, 2012) as an external hard drive in my network in order to make manual backups of various data by drag-and - drop. I donnot want to expand my network wirelessly with the old TC. How can I include in my network just like an external hard drive?

  Very simple... Connect TC Old WAN LAN new TC... the old Installer TC mode bridge... and wireless off.

  He then worked as an external drive in the network.

• Can I get my favorites on an external hard drive that I use as support? I have Windows 7 Edition Home Premium.

  I've been backing up my computer with Windows 7 Home Premium on an external hard drive. I've been using manual backup when I plug the external hard drive. I tried looking for the folder of Firefox but can't seem to find it. He recorded with all of the other files and folders, and if so how do I enter it?

  Your Firefox profile would have the data. You can find it at:

  • C:\Users\ < Windows user/login name > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ < profile folder >
    • The file you want is called places.sqlite

  You can copy this file if you want to restore your bookmarks to your current Firefox back to C:\Users\ < Windows user/login name > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ < profile folder > and overwrite the current file. Keep in mind, this will delete your current bookmarks.

• 0x8078012D error code when you back up the new pc for external hard drive

  I have a brand new HP Pavilion Windows 7 Home Premium desktop/8 GB memory/1 terabyte hard drive. Just hung up 3 days ago, and after installing my software, attempted to perform a full backup with the image of a brand new Toshiba Canvio 500 GB external hard drive. I get 0x8078012D error code, without interruption.  I did a check on the external hard drive disk, and it was good. I did a check for virus on the external hard drive, and that was good. I have triple checked the settings for backup and they are as I want them to be. -What is the Toshiba external hard drive or my bad nine HP desktop computer?  I had to call HP tech support yesterday as 2 programs, I had already installed has stopped working, but also Java and Adobe Flash Player. HP technical support was not only bad in his work, but right has supported up and hard with me and talked to me. I told her to give me control of my computer and down the phone that I reported him. He wrecked settings that I had, I did a system restore on the eve of the appellant, which was day 2 of owning the new pc. Now everything works as it was and I think that the 2 programs stopped working due to a Microsoft update that I had done that day. I don't have re-uploaded the 6 latest updates from MS and pc seems to work very well, but I can still save on the Toshiba Canvio external hard drive. Last resort, I reformatted the Toshiba Canvio to NTFS, even if it has already formatted to. Still can not make a backup on the external drive. I don't know what to do. Return the pc?  Return the Toshiba Canvio?  I'm in debt $650 for these 2 pieces of metal. Help please!

  Hello

  The error would have occurred if the services related to backup Windows could have been disabled. This can also occur due to other security software installed on the computer.

  Y at - it a third-party security software installed on the computer?

  I suggest you to check if the services are running and in manual mode.

  You can follow the methods:

  Method 1:

  Follow the steps to check if services are running. If not, restart them and check if that helps:

  (a) click Start.

  (b) type Services in the start search.

  (c) in the Services window, search for the shadow copy volume.

  (d) right click on the Service.

  (e) click Properties.

  (f) select Start on ManualType.

  (g) click OK.

  (h) now repeat the same steps for Windows backup service as well.

  Check if you find the same error trying to save using the hard disk. If Yes, proceed to method 2.

  Method 2:

  I suggest to temporarily disable the security software installed on the computer and check if it helps. Check out the link to do so:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  Important note: security software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  It will be useful.

  Just reply to us with the results. We will be happy to help you.
