  Thank you.

  Unfortunately, your procedure has not worked as the device could not be uninstalled from the Device Manager.

  As I prepared to reinstall Windows 7, I gathered information from Control Panel - programs.

  I did a search by the most recent dates, and I realized that an Application has been installed and I was not aware that I installed it.

  The cause of my 9 day long search for a solution was a malicious program called Manager of adjustment by the AZTECS.

  Removing and restarting desktop cured the problem.

  Now all USB devices, including my Western Digital My Book 1230 are recognized.

  Thanks for your advice, support and everything.

  It is a "case closed" with a happy ending :-)

• Western Digital Elements WDBAAU0010HBK external hard drive,

  I want to use a Western Digital elements external hard drive WDBAAU0010HBK, but my laptop does not recognize it as a drive in windows Explorer. It gives notice that the hardware is installed and ready to use, but I'm not. In printers, and other devices, it displays an icon of the hard disk, but I only see the properties of the disc and not the files that are on it. I searched the internet for drivers for this drive, but WD elements has no pilot at all to its Web site, it says that the drivers must be installed automatically by Windows. I hope there's a sollution to this problem.

• Backup and restore does not recognize my external HARD drive.

  When I try to use the ms backup and restore it only recogniza my external HARD drive.

  Is that possible reinstall or repair?

  Hello daniloalvesmaciel,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  First of all, I could check and see if the hard drive is listed on the Windows 7 Compatibility Center. Clickhere for a link to the Compatibility Center. If it's on the Compatibility Center, then check out the web site of the manufacturer for updates or drivers.

  Then check if you see the external hard drive in the Device Manager.
  To check these options:

  1. click on the Start button to display the Start Menu , then selectControl Panel .
  2. the Control Panel window opens.
  Now click system and security from this window.
  3 Scrollfor Device Manager.
  4. click on the Device Manager.
  5. to view material click on any category and the associated list of installed hardware. For example. Click on hard drives.
  Right click on the external hard drive. You can see the different options likeUpdate driver software, disable, uninstall and properties etc.
  6. click on Properties to display the details of the hardware. Click theDriver tab , to view the details of device driver.
  7. then on the software update driver to check and see if you have the latest drivers.

  Then check again and see if you can save on the external hard drive.

  If this is not the case, try to map a drive to the external drive. Can you back up now.

  Please respond and take stock of your problem.

• Using the HARD drive of a Tecra A4 as a for another laptop external HARD drive.

  I have a Toshiba Tecra A4. I want to use the HARD drive as a second hard drive to another laptop, but it seemed to me that the HDD in Tecra A4 has a special bond that does not fit in a standard externel HDD-Bay. Anyone know how I can use the HARD Tecra A4 drive as an external HARD drive?

  Subquestion: is it not possible to use a 2.5 "HARD drive normal in a Toshiba Tecra A4?

  Hello

  AFAIK Tecra A4 has 2.5 inch HDD inside. But the HARD drive has another connector HARD drive that you can remove. The HARD drive is placed in the HARD drive chassis and fixed with four screws. Remove the screw and the connector. Be very carefully and take it easy.

  After that you can use in other laptops.

• Windows 7 can not "see" the files on my external hard drive all of a sudden after I used ICACLS to give me full control.

  I used ICACLS in a command prompt high to give me all permissions for all on the external hard drive. I do not share the disk or remove permissions from any other 'user' but all of a sudden the guest not to see the files on the disc and I don't know what to do about it. But when I open a window and go outside, the files are there, I can access it, use them in all cases, I would normally.

  Anyone has an idea why an elevated command prompt would not be able to see the files that are clearly on the external hard drive? There is just something not right on command prompt, you see only not the files that are there.

  Thanks in advance

  Update: it turns out that there seems to be some kind of conflict between the UAC and the Administrators group. Don't know how I was touched, but I finally finished refusing authorization in writing system on my external hard drive. Suddenly Builtin Administrator, users of Builtin and NT Authority stood, one of them, or another group, resumed training, locked read-only access to all files, and then he took it a little further and removed my ability to write attributes or read them. I was forced to use a back up 'Admin I have on standby with a third I reapplied my main administrator permissions, but still denied access. After doing things with ICACLS, I was able to get a partial control, but I still couldn't save.

  At the end of the road, it turns out that an external hard drive formatted in NTFS is recognized by the computer as a disk fixed, as if it were part of the computer, and there it was treated as such, given my file system files by locking the.

  Even with the hidden Builtin Administrator I activated, I couldn't access the files. I finally had to move all the girls to the drive c:\ and format the external drive with exFat so that the system do not think that he was part of the computer. Unfortunately, I can never depend on having a System Image backup because exFat cannot have a writing for her.

  I have full access, as well as anyone and everyone, there is no permissions on exFat, so it's a compromise, better than the system for the control of my own computer ruined combat...

• How to copy a catalog of external hard drive to the hard drive of the computer to use smart insights not connected to the external hard drive?

  I am very new to LR5. I put LR5 in place so that my catalog and photos are on an external hard drive. I discovered that when not connected to the hard drive, LR5 can't find my catalog, therefore, I can't do any editing in intelligent insights, unless it is connected to an external hard drive. How can I fix this so that I can edit photos without being connected to an external hard drive. Is it possible to copy the catalog out of the hard disk on the computer's hard drive or I have to re-establish a new catalog using LR5? Must the catalog always be loaded onto the hard drive? Thank you in advance.

  Yes that's correct. The LR catalog must be on the computer's internal drive. Then when you have smart previews activated you can change the image without going through the reader that they are connected. When you connect this drive images will be updated.

  Simply COPY these 4 folders on your internal drive in a folder called Lightroom catalog that you create. Then open LR and go on the file menu point and select open catalog. Navigate to the folder you created called catalog in Lightroom and select the Lightroom Catalog.lrcat 5 file and click Open. Once restart Lightroom open change preferences, > preferences, and under the general tab, in the catalog default section make sure that "when starting to use this catalogue:" listings in the area where you copied the files. Something like Macintosh HD/Wherever, have created it this folder/that folder name/Lightroom catalog.lrcat 5.
