• Should what format I use for my external hard drive?

  I have an external drive that I wish I could use (writing) from my Mac and my PC, but without the limitations of + 4 GB files.

  Is this possible or am I pasted with limiting the size? If so should what format I use on my external hard drive? and it has all the other notes aside I should know?

  Thank you!

  Hi Filabaca:

  If you want to use a hard drive external Mac and PC options are:

  1. format the drive in Mac as exFat

  2. format the drive to NTFS on a Windows PC and use a program like Paragon NTFS for Mac. https://www.Paragon-Software.com/home/NTFS-Mac/

  Paragon NTFS for Mac allows you to use a disc formatted in NTFS by a Windows PC.

  Here is an article showing the difference between FAT32, exFAT and NTFS. http://www.howtogeek.com/235596/whats-the-difference-between-fat32-exfat-and-ntf s /

• Can I use my old external hard drive after replacing SSDS?

  I recently bought a replacement of SSD for my hard drive.  A friend suggested I have get a box for the old man and keep it in a backup or extra.  I was wondering how difficult that would be, and I would be able to run applications from her?

  -Matt H.

  Yes, your friend is good, just buy a USB box for this and then you, it's like any other external hard drive. You can get these 10 pounds and more, but you get what you pay for.

  Simply open the screw in the naked reader, plug, close the case and you are done. It's very simple to do.

• can I use my main external hard drive as my hard drive

  can I use my external hard drive as my main hard drive as my internal is full and how to do it thanks

  Hi darrenmchenry,

  You cannot use the external drive as primary drive as the operating system files will be present on the internal drive.

  If the internal drive is full you can always use the external drive to install programs on the computer by pointing the disk as the location when you install the program and make sure that you do not disconnect the external hard drive if you have installed the programs on it.

• Problem with the use of the external hard drive.

  I was using a disk external hard seagate to store pictures. All of a sudden, it wants me to format the drive. If I do this, will erase all my photos? Is anyway around that I wouldn't lose thousands of photos.

  See Zigzag3143 answer you and I would add the following:

  If you have only one copy of all the files that are important to you,
  whether on an internal hard drive, external drive, or anywhere else, you
  are always in danger of losing. It is always possible that a hard
  car accident, near Thunderbolt, user error, virus, attack the same
  stolen computer, can result in the loss of everything on your drive.
  As it has often been said, it is not a question of whether you'll
  such a problem, but when.

  I hope you succeed to save your photos, but for the future, be
  of course, you always have a backup of these and any other
  important files on external media.

• LR 5 - use of the external hard drive to store photos

  I just bought the LR5 and imported the photos, that I have stored on an external hard disk drive J assigned.  the catalogue has been and is on my C drive.

  When I reconnected it the external hard drive to my PC, it received the F drive letter.  I change all the folder names.  Thus, the path stored in the catalog is false because records are now on the F drive.

  I looked at the previous posts, but did not see an answer.   The LR folder box has no record and click on restore. I see no pictures to restore.  The button synchronize is gray...

  Given that this problem of the evolution of the railways will occur regularly since I use several readers, I appreciated all the help

  You have a recent backup of your catalog file?

  Have you tried elsewhere on your hard drives?

• TOSHIBA external hard drive does not work with Mac

  Finally, I used my Toshiba external hard drive on my MacBook Pro in December. I want to keep all my photos, and I've always been able to add new photos to it and delete the 'old' out of it. I plugged it today to add more photos, and it is not letting me. I went to the sharing & preferences and he read that when he used to say, read and write. I went to the info, and I noticed, it says that the format is Windows. Why he did change and why can't I use it? Can I fix it? Thanks in advance

  Looks like you have formatted the NTFS drive that is read-only for OS X. Copy data to another drive, then partition and format the drive correctly for use on a Mac.

• Restore the backup to an external hard drive

  original title: if I reinstall my Vista, how to make the backup on an external hard drive? Is it a procedure drag-and - déposer? I use a Seagate external hard drive and there is no help section.

  Have run the back up to the external hard drive, I would like to know how to use it when I reinstall Vista Home Premium system.

  Also, I tried to check the hard disk for errors, and he has not finished the event.

  Assuming that you used the backup of Vista and made program a full backup and not an image backup (although some of these procedures include the restoration of a full image backup), here is some information to help you restore data.  Try to read or at least most of the analytical documents before you start, so you get a good understanding of the process and the procedures involved.  Restoring from an external hard drive is a little different from restoring a secondary internal hard drive, CD/DVD or Flash drive or on the network (although quite close to the procedure of network). If you have used the Vista backup program, you can not restore using drag-and-drop - you must use Vista restore program.

  Here is an article on the restore procedure:http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

  This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vista http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.  It also focuses primarily on the full backup process, but he did mention the full backup and restore process as well.

  Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work):http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.

  Back up and restore: frequently asked questions
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-and-restore-frequently-asked-questions

  I also found the following (but don't know if it of true or not):

  1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."

  2. I chose "Advanced Restore"

  3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.

  4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.

  5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »

  6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue

  7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.

  8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."

  9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup (Yes... even if he said that thebackup location is not available " ")

  10. and you press "next".

  11 guess what... no error!

  12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.

  13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.

  14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)

  I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works and even when it does not).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• 1 TB external hard drive works on XP but not Windows 7

  1 TB Toshiba external hard drive.

  It works on my laptop that runs Windows XP bot not on the laptop that is running Windows 7, if the hard disk works. It also works on Vista.

  My Seagate (320 GB) hard drive works on the Windows 7 laptop - so the USB ports are not defective.

  When I plug the hard 1 TB drive that it appears not on the Manager list of devices, or the title of the disk management, still green light from the disk hard flashes and lights up like it normally does when plugged into the laptop XP.

  I have read all the forums and tried the following: edited the Registery values for mass storage devices USB (deleted and lower filters);  Edited the "Usbstor" INF file as suggested check, the Toshiba site for any compatibility issues, and they have suggested that it is a problem of windows 7, given that the player works on other platforms.

  Because the disc is not visible in device etc Manager I can't try the other options.

  Any input would be appreciated

  I found the problem to be with the controller Toshiba uses on their external hard drives.

  I removed the hard drive Toshiba of the carcass, put it in an envelope of SeaGate (thus using a SeaGate controller) and it worked fine.

  To my knowledge there is no software around HD Ext Toshiba and W7 work. Take the HD out of the envelope, buy a cheap eSATA to USB connector & problem solved.

• Toshiba 320 GB external HARD drive make my very slow computer

  Hello.

  I bought this product a few weeks ago now, and every time I use it, it makes my computer go tp so slow to the point where I can't actually do something on this subject, due to the fact that everything becomes inadmissible. Also, the rate at which I transfer files to it is also very slow. Any ideas why and what I can do to speed things up a bit?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You suggested that the laptop becomes slowly during the use of the external HARD drive.
  I guess that transfer you a data from the HARD drive internal to the external USB HDD.
  I think that it s not very rare, that the laptop runs slowly during the transmission of the data.
  It depands on the program that runs in the context of the operating system.

  I put t know which interface you use USB2 or USB only, but data transfer depends on the interface.

• Disk recognized as usb flash external hard drive

  I have an old Samsung SP0411N IDE internal hard drive, I am trying to use as an external hard drive with a SATA & IDE adapter USB & eSATA Conceptronic csatai23u. Windows XP with Service Pack 3 detects the etc. of Sata to usb etc, but instead to detect the hard drive, it detects a usb mass storage, which according to me, that means a usb flash key.

The device does not show in my PC.

• USB external hard drive stopped working

  I use Vista Home Basic Edition on a Dell Inspiron 1525.  I use a WD external hard drive for storage (almost a year) and it has been fine until today.  All of a sudden he disappeared.  At microsoft I used the fix tool and it said: relocation that the driver can solve - I say yes - device driver comes up saying installed successfully - but the disc puts to work continuously until I have unplug the USB or turn off.  Then everything went again.  I tried a dozen times, but it's always the same.  The only new thing that was installed today was a color laser printer & I don't see why that would stop the hd.  Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated as I need my data!

  Hello KBS406,

  1. Sign in as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group.
  2. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click performance and Maintenance.

  4. Right click on the drive, the partition, the logical drive or volume that you want to assign a drive letter to and then click change drive letter and paths.
  5. Click change.
  6. Click assign the following drive letter if it is not already selected, click the drive letter that you want to use, and then click OK.
  7. Click Yes when you are prompted to confirm the drive letter change.
