• No possible partition for the resettlement of the El Capitan

  I have major problems on both OS X and win 7 (imac) 2009.

  The computer is unusable, especially the keyboard. This follows an update to El Capitan a couple of weeks.

  The computer does not start with keys (keyboard problems), the only available drive start is bootcamp, but OS X and recovery disks are visible on win 7 in bootcamp console.

  I tried to reinstall El Capitan, but no records are available for the partition, so I'm stuck (must be a GUID which I did not).

  I saved all the files and would really like to restore systems. However, the dvd does not work (eject) for the two OS x installation DVD or Windows 7 iso burned dvd.

  I wonder if it is repairable? Thanks in adavnce for any advice.

  What is an Apple keyboard? Do you have problems after the upgrade, or a few days later.

  The computer does not start with keys (keyboard problems), the only available drive start is bootcamp, but OS X and recovery disks are visible on win 7 in bootcamp console.

  If Alt/Option keys do not work during startup, command + R or command + Opt + R work? If it is an Apple keyboard, you run a MSC and resetting the NVRAM.

• Seagate drive back up the partition problem

  Hello

  I have a problem with a Seagate drive on my mac.

  The drive is 1 TB and I formatted into 2 partitions: 1 exFat and 1 for Time Machine. All worked fine for the last 2 years, but now when plug the drive into my mac it loads only the partition exFat (I can access the content of it.).

  Backup partition isn't appearing any more. I tried to open disk utility, but it won't let me see my discs, while the Seagate is connected. (I thought about it when I unplugged the Seagate drive, everything is back to normal).

  If I want to eject the disc it will freeze it and drive the LEDS will not stop fashing until I take out the usb cable.

  Experienced this kind of problem?  I would be very grateful if you could help me.

  Hello gregfromoakland,

  I understand that you are looking to get back to Snow Leopard to go to El Capitan, while retaining the files were backed up by Time Machine. Fortunately, your data should still be intact, but is not accessible from Snow Leopard.

• I can't see my hard drives partition more :-/

  Hello

  I can see is no longer a partition that I had on an external drive. I know that this probably isn't the best thing to do, but I had a backup time machine on this partition (such as one on my hard drive to the Mac).  I think I've ejected the drive not correctly once, and since the partition of time machine no longer appears

  Disk utility does not launch or that hard drive is plugged so I can't reformat it even :-/

  If anyone knows any more options?

  Thank you very much

  Nick

  You can try to disconnect your external drive, reboot into Recovery Mode (command-R), and OS X Utilities launch disk utilitymenu, connect your external drive and see if you can format.

  I purchased Drive Genius 4 OWC (Macsales.com) and had something similar happens where I could see all the partitions on the external drive but could not repartition or delete one of them. With Drive Genius, I was able to repartition and format. So, you might need a 3rd party app like Disk Warrior and Drive Genius (trial download) to manipulate your external drive.

• How can I make use of TC partitions and make sure that the file analysis is on the right partition?  I do not see the partitions that I have done in the Finder, but I can drag and drop the files in the folder 'Data' unique under Finder/Shared/TC.

  MacBook Air, OSX 10.10.3, 128 GB; 2 TB Time Capsule ME177LL/A.

  Final objective: use Time Capsule as a Time Machine for my MacBook Air and as a storage solution for large files that I don't want permanently on my MacBook Air.

  So far, I've implemented the TC and set up Time Machine on the TC.  I was able to create 2 partitions on the TC using disk utility then that TM was a backup and the disk was recognizable in disk utility.

  Under Finder/shared, I see the TimeCapsule 'airport', and when I click on it it is a file called "Data".  I was expecting to see my two partitions here.  Under 'Features' is a ' Zissou31 MacBook Air (3)"sparsebundle file and I can also create folders here and drag and drop files on the TC here.  I can see the partitions in disk utility, but how do I see/use the partitions I created in the Finder?

  I fear that this may not be set up correctly and I'm either losing on an entire partition I created or these files dragged/dropped may be at risk of overwriting of TimeMachine.  How can I make sure that the file analysis is on the appropriate partition?

  I disabled TimeMachine and go back to see if I could 'point' to one of the partitions, but the "Data" folder is the only thing that TimeMachine seen.  How do I point time Machine for one of the partitions?

  Thank you!

  In addition, in disk utility, I can see one of the partitions TC is related to the time Machine, indicated by the icon Time Machine green bottom left, but two partitions seem to fall under "Zissou31 of the MacBook Air (3) .sparsebundle.

• Windows stops and restarts each time I login, the last thing I did was partition the hard drive

  I upgraded my hard drive because I needed more space.  At first, I put the same settings as the original drive.  C is the primary drive and D is the HP recovery disk.  There is apparently a small partition that windows uses, but does not have a drive letter.  I left all sizes even.  This has left me a large part of the unallocated disk.

  With the help of Partition Master, I created a major score that I use for music, photos, documents, etc.  At the time I did, I got an external hard drive connected.  He was assigned as drive F and I created the new partition as G:.

  Shortly after this, my computer crashed and restarted.  When I log in, it says that windows has recovered from a serious error.  It plugs along for a little while and then did the same thing again and again and again.

  It doesn't gives me a lot of other information that means something to me.  If I click on the Details button for the information it sends to Microsoft if I want to report that it has a bunch of gibberish, but I'm sure that it wants to say something to someone.  I'll try to copy the next time it hangs after as I write this.

  I ejected the disk external and changed the drive letter on my new partition to F.  I can't believe that's going to do something, but I thought that maybe the partitions on the drive must be in order (of course, I'll try anything).

  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  So can I please get acquainted with the appropriate problem I have and the clear solution for him...

  When the behavior started? Did you recently add or remove any hardware or software?

  , Start here: you can download the c:\windows\minidump content to SkyDrive and provide a link?  If you have trouble downloading the files, copy them to the c:\windows\minidump folder in a new folder on your desktop and upload them from there.  

  Consider the following general guidelines for dealing with bluescreens.

  Consider running chkdsk on all partitions.  Leave complete chkdsk on each partition and see if that helps.

  Also consider running SFC/scannow.

  If you start in safe mode, do you still feel bugs? What if you do a clean boot, or boot device?

  Consider the memory with memtest86 or Windows Memory Diagnostic test. Note that memory that pass the tests isn't necessarily good memory - he not only failed a review.  Examine systematically to eliminate the system RAM - run with a few modules for awhile and see how things are going. Then try the other modules.

  Other common suggestions include ensuring drivers are up to date, but also to ensure that you use the latest version of the BIOS.

  It may be useful to use the driver verifier.  To activate the... Driver Verifier start-> verifier.exe-> OK-> create standard settings-> next-> driver select the names to a list-> next-> sort by provider-> select all other Microsoft drivers-> finish and OK your way out of the dialog box.

  Then restart and use the system as you normally and wait for a problem.  In case the system does not completely start after activation of the Verifier, boot mode safe and run driver verifier and tell him to remove the changes.

  Wait for a bugcheck occurs after you have enabled the auditor as described, and then download the dump on your SkyDrive and provide a link.

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

  This error (7th) is usually a driver problem and display adapter (video) driver is the most suspicious if
  It could be others. Antivirus/antispyware/security programs, major software and hardware (heat)
  questions can also cause the error. When you get to the section of the driver to use the Troubleshoot utility my
  generic methods in the next message and then return to the if necessary troubleshooting tool.

  Have you recently added hardware or drivers updated? Don't forget to look in Control Panel - Windows
  Updates to see if all drivers have been updated it. Other donor opportunities include the antivirus/anti-
  spyware/security programs.

  When you get to the pilot and sections of the memory of the troubleshooter check the following message to
  update drivers and memory test and then return to the troubleshooter if necessary.

  BCCode: 7F 0x0000007E

  Cause

  SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED bug control is a very common bug control. TO
  interpret, you must identify which exception has been generated.

  Common exception codes are:

  0xc0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION indicates a memory access violation has occurred.
  For a complete list of exception codes, see the Ntstatus.h file located in the inc directory
  the Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK).

  Solve the problem
  If you do not have to debug this problem, you must use certain basic troubleshooting techniques.

  Make sure you have enough disk space.
  If a driver is identified in the bug check message, disable the driver or check with the
  Reference of the manufacturer for driver updates.
  Try changing video cards.
  Check with your hardware vendor for updates to the BIOS.
  Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading.
  If you plan to debug this problem, you may find it difficult to get a stack trace. Parameter 2
  (the address of the exception) must identify the driver or function that caused the problem.

  If the exception code 0 x 80000003 occurs, a hard-coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but the system
  has been launched with the /nodebug switch... This problem should occur infrequently. If it occurs repeatedly,
  Make sure that a kernel debugger is connected and the system is booted with the/debug switch.

  In case of exception code 0 x 80000002, the trap frame provides additional information.

  If you do not know the specific cause of the exception, consider the following questions:

  Hardware incompatibility. Make sure all new hardware that is installed is listed in the
  List of Microsoft Windows Marketplace tested products.
  Service system or driver faulty device. A service driver or defective peripheral system can be
  responsible for this error. Hardware problems, such as the incompatibilities of the BIOS, memory, conflicts
  and IRQ conflicts can also generate this error.
  If a driver is listed by name in the bug check message, disable or remove that driver. Disable
  or remove drivers or services that have been recently added. If the error occurs during startup
  sequence and the system partition is formatted with the NTFS file system, you may be able to use safe
  Mode to rename or to delete the faulty driver. If the driver is used as part of the system startup procedure
  in Safe Mode, you must start the computer by using the Recovery Console to access the file.

  If the problem is associated with Win32k.sys, the source of the error may be a third remote
  control program. If this software is installed, you can remove the boot of the computer service
  by using the Recovery Console, and then by removing the offending system service file.

  Check the system log in Event Viewer for additional error messages that might help identify the
  device or the driver that generated the bug check 0x7E.

  You can also disable memory cache BIOS may try to resolve the error. You should also
  Run the diagnostics of material, especially the scanner memory, which provides the manufacturer of the system.
  For more information about these procedures, see the manual of your computer.

  The error that generates this message may occur after the first reboot during Windows Setup, or
  Once the installation is complete. A possible cause of the error is lack of disk space for installation and system
  BIOS incompatibilities. For problems during the installation of Windows that are associated with the absence of disc
  space, reduce the number of files on the disk drive hard target. Find and delete any temporary
  the files that you do not have to have files hidden Internet, backup application and .chk files files that
  contain fragments of file saved to disk scans. You can also use another hard drive with more drive
  free space for the installation. You can solve the problems of BIOS by upgrading the version of the system BIOS.

• Therefore each SATA in my Win7 x 86 device listed as an ejector device when I'm ready to eject the USB device?

  Just at the moment where I thought that my Windows 7 Pro 32 bit environment worked perfectly, one day, I was ready to eject a USB device, I plugged, I saw ALL my devices SATA appearing alongside my USB items which have been plugged, including my C drive!

  Why is this?  How, all of a sudden all my readers (internal and external) appear as removable safely disks in my Win7 32 bit and not in my Win7 64-bit (yet)?  And how can I fix this problem so that my SATA devices are not among my USB devices?  One SATA device should be listed; and this is my backup of Master, plugged in a socket of SATA_A1, for which the SATA_A2 is shared by the eSATA plug.

  Here is a little information about my hard drives and the ATA channels to which they correspond:

  B: System reserved / F: 64 - bit Windows 7 - ATA Channel 0

  [Simple walk; reserved my win7 system 64-bit is not hidden to prevent my win7 32-bit access it.]

  X: Master Backup - ATA Channel 0

  [No misspelling; my Device Manager is showing TWO ATA Channel 0 s in the list of ATA/ATAPI IDE controllers.]

  C: 32-bit Windows 7 - ATA Channel 1

  [The main reader.]

  ATA Channel 1

  [Unknown as of yet what this ATA Channel 1 corresponds to.]

  Primary data G: - ATA Channel 2

  [For additional storage.]

  Secondary data H: - ATA Channel 3

  [For additional storage.]

  D: Blu - ray - ATA Channel 4

  E: DVD Burner - ATA Channel 5

  Now for my Win7 64-bit, Disc C installation (which is my first hard drive) represents my 64-bit Windows 7 and partitions B and F (for my second hard drive) my 32-bit Windows 7 with its partition system reserved for B.  Everything else is the same, but...

  ... In my Win7 64 bit environment, my IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers list has only 2 ATA channels; 0 and 1, no duplicates.  I haven't checked for correspondence of these channels, but I'll bet that channel 0 belongs to Drive X and 1 channel belongs to the C drive.

  How is it that, in my environment 32-bit, an ATA channel has been assigned to each disk in my machine, and how to disengage and remove the assignments without losing access to all these readers?  I don't have this problem before, and I can't determine when the problem first occurred.  I can't uninstall ATA channels 2, 3, 4 and 5 of my device manager, afraid that the corresponding drives disappear from my Explorer and becomes completely inaccessible.

  UPDATE:  He finds that, for some unknown reason, my SATA AHCI controller has been replaced, which displays all my readers as removable.

  First thing I did was make an update, I think it was almost a downgrade, to the standard AHCI driver provided by Windows.  All readers always displayed as removable.

  Then I did an update; This time, instructing the Device Manager to search for the driver accompanying DVDs of the card from my mother...

  ... And here!  After a restart, only displayed as removable drives are X Drive and everything I plug into the USB ports.  In my device manager, only ATA 0 and 1 (no duplicates) channels are displayed.

  Hello

  Facing this problem with other USB devices as well?

  Here are possible causes:

  • In most cases, this is caused by antivirus or anti-spyware installed on your PC application. You will need to contact your specific anti-virus or publisher of anti-spyware to help determine if this is the case.
  • If the disk contains a partition NTFS, indexing can be activated.
  • There may be some other third party software which is still accessing the drive.  This software is most often safety, management of storage or backup utilities.
  • If your disk contains WD SmartWarr it can actively scans your system. Make sure you have stopped all operations of backup progress.

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.
