USB ext hard drive keeps stalling, error message, and then re - appears

the maxtor drive is sometimes considered, sometimes not.  This change while the pc is turned on.  I get different errors, not installed correctly, problem with hard drive 2.  I have recently upgraded to windows 7 vista teacher, the problem was the same in vista.

Hello

To me, this looks like a problem with your maxtor drive.

Were you able to do a health check on it? It works on other computers (if you have others to try)

Try to other usb ports on your computer.

You have a cable extra-long usb, sometimes long usb cables can drop the unit.
If not, maybe it could be a hardware problem with your usb port or the maxtor drive.

Kind regards

  • Pavilion p6-2330: hard drive for the error message failure

    I need to know what to do in response to: "short hard drive DST-Failed", failure ID: 60E3KV - 0007Q 9 - WPTXOK - 60QD03 on a desktop pavilion p6-2330.

    When the computer is turned on, it presents a loop; try to solve the problem, but unable to do so.

    The memory test is 'spent '.

    SMART hard disk check is 'passed '.

    Thank you.

    Hello.

    This 24 character of error codes when generated from the HARD drive test indicates a Smart failure or disk Self Test - in both cases, this means that the drive is defective and must be replaced.

    You always have access to the data stored on the disk? If you do, then save as much information as possible and look for a replacement drive. If the product is still under warranty, you can contact support, but in case you have no guarantee and you would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself – please let me know.

    I hope this helps and good luck!

  • Installed a Windows Update and now 5 Lightroom keeps showing an error message, and then exits.

    Windows Update and now when I try to open Lightroom it gives me a message that says "Lightroom has encountered an error when reading it is an overview of the cache and will try again during the reboot" reboot is not good at all.

    The problem you are experiencing is not related to an update of Windows. The preview cache is corrupt. You must use Windows Explorer or the Finder to open the folder that contains your catalog. Find the folder that has the extension .lrdata and delete the entire folder. Then, launch Lightroom as you normally would. Lightroom will be in the construction of a new Preview file and you should be able to continue normally.

    I don't know the reason, but a lot of people have experienced this same problem. Take a look at the more "like this" list to the right of this message. It is more common than you might expect.

    Hello

    My laptop was getting slower and slower, so I did a restore default via the recovery partition, and when it restarts to start reformat and reinstall back to factory condition, I got a message on the screen telling me to run the hard drive test. Did it and got error 303 and 305 messages. Restore to preset works however, after doing research in the error codes I go account, I'm for a new hard drive.

    My laptop is a HP Pavilion dvd6-3203TU with WIndows 7 Home Premium installed. It currently has a disk 320 GB TOSHIBA MK3265GSXX HDD in it.

    After reading the forums, I am pleased to see that my recovery disks will be reinstalling everything on a new hard drive and partition a C: drive and also the recovery partition. The main issue I have is my new drive hard must it be 320 GB in size as the original or to buy something like a disk 500 GB + for the laptop. If I have to replace the hard drive that I can as will increase size while, if possible i.e..

    It must also be a Toshiba or I can buy another brand?

    Eager to help regarding this I thank you in advance as

    Hello

    Your laptop is listed as coming with a 320 GB hard drive, but you can install just as easily a 500 GB or 750 GB HARD drive if you want more space - readers at the following links are examples that would be perfect for your laptop - you are in no way limited to a particular manufacturer.

    Hard drive 500 GB

    750 GB hard drive.

    The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 65 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  • 250 GB USB external hard drive is compatible with Mac OS x on an iBook G4?

    Hello

    I just bought a Toshiba 250 GB Usb external hard drive because the seller advised me telling me that it works in my iBook G4 Mac OSX computer.

    I made it and I see it on my desktop with a folder called System Volume Information and 2.32 GB available.

    I tried to copy a file and I got a message saying that the disk is not editable.

    Where can I find the instructions to initialize if it's compatible?

    Thanks in advance,

  • Using a Mac to partition a USB external hard drive to use to start Windows 7 on a PC

    Hello

    My PC hard drive died recently, and I need to reinstall Windows 7. Fortunately, I have a Windows 7 .iso file on my Macbook Pro. I also have an external hard drive USB empty. I try to use the Mac (in particular the disk utility program) partition this hard drive and load the .iso file in it, with the intention to start the system and install Windows 7 on my PC. (NB. I have a new internal hard drive which I intend to install Windows on to, but it's something that I should be able to handle later and should not be relevant at the moment.)

    As my DVD player also decided to break (I had not used for a long time), I can't burn the .iso to disk image file and start that way.

    So my question is, what is actually in all possible ways to use my WD 500 GB external hard drive to boot Windows 7 from USB? If so, is it possible to configure the hard disk with the .iso image file using a mac? I think I need somehow do "bootable" my hard drive to boot from it, but I don't know how to do this using a mac, so that it will be compatible for Windows startup.

    I've had this problem for days now and nothing I try seems to work - I tried what seems like all combinations of formatting, partitioning, extracting, BIOS-set-up-ing and file-system-change I can think of. Any help will be really appreciated. Also, if you need information such as specifications, just let me know and I will try to provide all the details I can.

    In addition, I understand that there a lot of messages on the boot from external hard drives, but I looked carefully and found nothing for my situation (more precisely using a mac).

    Thanks in advance for help; If all goes well there is something obvious that I'm missing that I can fix it easily.

    Hi Michael,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    From your problem description, I understand you want to make bootable Windows 7 disk using Mac computer.

    About a tool to burn an iso image on Mac, I suggest you contact apple support.

    https://discussions.Apple.com/community/desktop_computers

    However, as a solution, I suggest to go to one of your friend who has the operating system windows download Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool and burn the iso image.

    Detailed suggestions are mentioned in the following article:

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    I hope this helps. If the problem persists or all linked windows queries or issues related to the Windows operating system, please get back to us. We are here to help you.

  • Install windows 7 on the new hard drive getting the error cannot continiue

    I bought a new drive hard seagate from my existing was only 250 gig, so this is a new clean install, I installed the drive hard drive start the computer with the dick of installed Starter, he began to load then I get this error message saying;
    "Update failed due to a stop press unexpected ok to restart the computer." Installation will continue after the computer restarts. »
    However, when you press ok, the machine starts, but continues to display this error message and so am now stuck in a loop. What can I do to stop this, because I am totally confused. I have a second hard drive in the machine, but when it is started, he found the new HDD 1000 GB.

    Any help would be appreciated

    First chech that the BIOS is configured to use the CD/DVD drive as frist boot device.

    Then remove the old drive and only connect the new drive.

    Start the PC and insert the CD that you created and boot from the CD.  If there is a "Long full" test, which is that you need to perform. Also check the SMART data (look for bad sectors).

  • External hard drive keeps restarting by itself!

    Hello

    I have an iomega RPHD - U 250 GB hard drive plugged into my pc and I keep it this way because I need to work on organizing my files. However, it keeps restarting itself as a minute after that I opened the case, whenever I plug in my charger (has something to do with the charger?) or at random times. It's really annoying and I have no idea why this is happening. How can I solve this problem and how to avoid that this happens in the future?

    Ah.  Well that seems to me something of the chain is a failure.  The drive itself, the cable, connector, it is plugged into USB port or something on the motherboard.  I start to exchange of components or entrust it to another computer and see if it happens there.

    If not, try another drive on the computer of 'problem' and see if it works.

    Both of these can narrow down what is causing the problem. But you can also try a clean boot of the computer too. See How to perform a boot in Windows, allowing to tell if it's a software problem on the computer that is really the cause.

  • Satellite 1800-712 does not recognize my USB external HARD drive

    Hello

    I would really appreciate the help. I own a satellite 1800-712. I have receently bought a usb external hard drive for some extra memory (IE Toshiba MK4026GAX USB Device)

    When I connect it to my usb port it records any with the computer. The green light so there is power to the hard drive. The usb ports recognized of other fine features (a modem and memory stick)

    I tried the external hard drive on a desktop pc and it works fine.

    I have downloaded all windows xp service pack updates and updated my bios. Don't know what to do now.

    Please help and thank you in advance!

    Hello

    Although sometimes, I know that the OS is not able to recognize the external USB device, because the device external USB (HDD) consumes more energy than the 500mA.
    The USB ports provide 500mA power and if the device needs more power so it s is not possible for the Windows operating system to recognize the external device.
    You have an external power supply for the USB HDD? You should use it.

    Good bye
