Trojan generic component on my new HDD Ext

Hi guys I am after some help please.

I recently bought and installed a new external hard drive of 250G, after that installation, that I now have what appears to be two drive additional F and G disk drive G is where I store stuff on the hard drive and the drive F contains the drivers and some other stuff.

the problem I have is that my Mcafee antivirus keeps telling me that I had a generic component Trojan asteroid on my G drive the virus is in the OFFICE. INI file, I tried to remove, clean and quarantine it, but it says that I can't do any of these actions.

After searching this forum I found some other ppl have the same problems, this could be a false positive since my AV a companion to SAI work, it could be something to password protection.

I hope really some nice ppl you can shed some light on this issue for me.

Thank you very much

Hello

I don t think that the applications on the external HARD disk could be dangerous.
I also read a few comments in this forum about the software that was automatically placed on the HDD external and recognized as a Trojan and viruses.
In my opinion the data and files on the external HARD disk is not known to antivirus software and therefore the antivirus tells you it s a Trojan horse.

You can try to activate hidden files and you will see maybe on the external HARD drive. Then, you can try to delete those files or to format the single partitions on the external HARD drive.

  • Win 7 Pro X 64; system does not recognize my Sata HDD Ext USB Powered clos

    In the recent past, my system no longer recognizes my Powered Sata USB HDD Ext I closed deleted the April May security updates and nothing does not. Two updates would not uninstall: KB3020369 & KB3020370. They were both installed on May 7, just about the time the ext drive was not recognized.

    FIX

    Problem solved. In my case, the external hard drive was plugged in and powered and the external drive appeared in 'surely remove the material and the media', but does not appear in Windows Explorer. It was enough of a drive letter. Left click on start, Control Panel, administrative tools, COMPUTER MANAGEMENT, storage, MANAGEMENT OF DISKS.  A list of drives has been shown. Mine has no drive letter. I have a click right and select the simple volume on the dark line, and followed the instructions.

    Everything is normal and I already copied the files on it. Thank you all for your efforts and help.

  • Installation of a new HDD in the Satellite 4320 Pro, advice?

    I need a new HARD drive in my baby, his old HDD is clicking and whirring and apparently not in good health, more since I installed Windows XP with service pack 2 I can no longer hold my programs on the tiny 6 GB thing!

    I was wondering if you wonderful people out there can help me by answering my questions:

    1. is there a limit on the size of the HARD drive that my ' 4320 Pro can take, if there is a limit (for example, 10 GB) so can I upgrade the BIOS to allow for a more generous size (say 40-80 GB)?

    2. is it difficult to remove the old HDD and then put the new? Has anyone else done this procedure before? Should I take my baby into pieces? I installed the new memory before and had no problem :), it was very easy it will be that easy?

    3. What is the depth of the original 6 gb 2.5 "HDD in my little girl? The replacement of all them seem to 9.5 mm deep will take a kind of foam spacer if for example my old HDD to 12 mm?

    4. Finally someone noticed problems once they have installed a new HDD on there Sat Pro?

    Thank you in advanced for your wisdom.

    :)

    Hi Stu,

    In response to your questions: -.

    1. most computers manufactured since the end of the 1990s can accommodate the larger discs, I found several supplies citing disks > 40 GB for your model. Any restrictions imposed by your BIOS could be corrected.

    2. remove the HARD drive is relatively simple and will generally involve nothing undo more than a few screws. Most hard disks are held in a caddy of some kinds and this will have to be transferred to your new drive. You must locate your current HARD drive (it must be under a Panel on the side or your laptop. Note that some models locate the HARD disk in the optical drive, so you may need to remove this first.

    3 hard drives usually come in two sizes, 2.5 "and 3.5", this refers to the width of the player. the real depth is largely irrelevant, since it will be held in a caddy. You certainly should not wrap the reader with the foam.

    4. I replaced my drive HARD original with an 80 GB version. The process took less than 10 minutes, and then I just rebuilt my system from the product recovery discs before restoring my data on a backup CD.

  • Need new HDD for my Satellite C855 1RL

    My drive hard internal is not read and was told that I need a new. Where can I buy a new HDD for a Satellite C855 1RL, and what kind of money it costs. I have the recovery disks

    Thank you

    You can buy new HARD drive in every store of the computer. What you need is 2.5 "SATA HDD.
    In my opinion you should now reflect on the upgrade and buy SSD that will offer more performance and make your laptop run much faster than before.

    Talk with your dealer ad pick up some useful information about the HDD and SSD upgrade Exchange.

  • Cloned new HDD for Pavilion 1210.uk does not start

    I am new to the forum so Hi everyone.

    I just installed a new HDD (SATA) to my office. BIOS identiified unit correctly and I cloned using HDClone software. He succeeded with 0 read and write errors. All files are accessed through drive letter access. So far so good, I thought. I then tried to boot from the disc again by changing the BIOS boot order. Hoewver, when the trunk begins with the new PC HARD drive crashes with a white/black screen with the cursor blinking in the upper left corner. It is the logo of Microsoft and o/s linen starts (XP).

    Some additional information:

    * Old HARD drive still boots without problem with or without the new drive.

    * I changed the transfer rate of 3.0 GB to 1.5 GB being the SATA 2 drive. That made no difference, then changed back.

    I don't know what is wrong, someone has also experienced this or knows what is the problem?

    Thanks for reading.

    The cloned system was not built with PATA and SATA drivers.  This could be the problem. You still get the blinking cursor?  You can send an email to technical support HDClone and ask of PATA, SATA problem of cloning.

  • How to write to HDD Ext

    So I have an Ext HDD that has been formatted in windows. However, when I'm using a mac and drag / drop files it is not written. The funny thing is, when I use another mac, it reads and writes files very well, so I'm able to drag-and - drop without problem. I can't have this problem on a computer that tries im of files to back up. Any idea what is the problem?

  • Do need me an adapter for the new HDD in Tecra T9100?

    I try to install a new hard drive (Toshiba 456 X3I89209S S/N this.) A, 40 GB). Need me an adapter or a framework for that?
    The HARD drive has no adapter, just the usual PATA pins.

    Your new HARD drive is a 2.5 or 3.5?
    Only 2.5 hard drives will fit in a laptop.

    However, you need a HARD drive connector to use the HARD drive in the laptop.
    But if you remove the old HDD there is already such a connector. Remove this connector and put it to the new.
    That s all and then you can use it.

  • Satellite M70-151 - not possible to install new HDD

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Satellite M70-151. bunch of old hard drive (100 GB Hitachi) reached the Windows XP screen then just ends with a blue screen a turn off laptop, immediately. I had to restore my data with an application file-rescue of another PC. It was not possible to start from old hard drive yet.

    Then I bought a Western Digital SATA II 250 GB hard drive that put my Windows XP CD in DVD player installed and tried to start. The laptop turns off as soon as the laptop computer tried to access the HARD disk.
    Thought, it was question of SATA II disk and tried a Samsung 160 GB Sata I - same result.

    BIOS recognizes the correct drives.

    If I try to boot from old hard drive, it shows the issue I mentioned first, but as before it reaches the Windows XP Boot screen before moving on to the blue screen before turning off the laptop. So start goes further than the boot with new hard drives

    The Windows XP CD I used is not the restore CD that came with the laptop, but a normal license.

    The heat is not a problem, I cleaned the CPU fan there is enough space to breathe the cold air mobile, the temperature is ok.

    * My questions are: *.

    Is there any special application running on laptops satellite, like special software of Toshiba, perhaps Backup, should I be aware of?
    What I need to preformat the hard drive, Toshiba-Hardware will recognize the hard drive?

    It would be great to get help on this issue, because I'm out of ideas. Thanks in advance!

    André

    Hello Andrew

    This behavior is very strange. I have some old Satellite M70-159 with 100 GB HARD drive. I also tested how it will work with a 250 GB HARD drive and all is well.
    On two drives, I have installed WXP using the Toshiba recovery image.

    I answer your two questions No. to install Windows XP Home edition on this model of laptop you don't need some special Toshiba application or a piece of software.
    HDD should be recognized correctly by the BIOS and the Windows XP Home edition installation procedure should work well.
    What you can try is to set the BIOS to the default settings and try again.

    The strange thing for me is that judgment. The blue screen tells me that there may be some serious hardware problem, the HARD drive controller might be. It's really not easy to say with certainty what can be the problem.

  • Satellite P35-S609 - new HDD not accepted

    Hello

    I am trying to install Windows XP (toshiba recovery CD) on a new hard drive Samsung HM160HC (160GB) on a Satellite P35-S609 but once the CD format the HD and copy all the files on the hard drive (to start installing XP) laptop does not boot from the hard drive, someone has an idea?

    Obviously, the drive has no flaws, perhaps the bios V1.4 takes not more than 100 GB HD or I don't know if this is the limitation of Windows XP, the thing is he isn't still trying to start the start of HD - anyone have any idea?

    my email:
    [email protected]

    Hey Buddy,

    Your new HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS?
    You can install Windows on another drive?

    Satellite P35 has old IDE interface and generally it s limited to 128GB HDD (> 120 GB). If the HARD disk is not recognized you use a 120 GB HARD drive only.

  • Windows XP Home edition does not recognize new HDD on the Qosmio G20

    I have a Qosmio G20/390LS bought a year ago, when I worked at the Japan, I tried to upgrade the hard drive with a new HD 100 GB Hitachi SATA but I faced a problem that XP does not recognize the HD.
    For your reference, the Bios sees the new HD, when I install the XP operating system I load the driver downloaded from the Toshiba Web site but no way RAID with F6... XP does not recognize the HD.

    Do you have any idea how to fix?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Computers portable Japanese are unknown to me, but if this laptop comes with two hard drives and RAID option do not forget the good option is set in the BIOS. Without the right BIOS setting you will not be able to install the OS.

    On Qosmio G30, I was able to install Vista when for two HDD HARD drive settings were 0-RAID-1. Check it please and let us know.
