• Iomega Portable hard drive now does not appear under "Devices" after accidentally deleted USB cable. USB

  My Iomega eGo Portable hard drive was connected by USB on my Macbook Pro OSX 10.9.5 cable and I was transferring my iPhoto folder.  Unfortunately, the cable dropped and I got a message on my laptop hard drive had not ejected correctly.   I reconnected it the cable, but now, it does not appear under devices in the search page.  I also checked the disc utilities and it isn't here either.  I tried to connect the hard drive of my iMac, but it does not appear in the devices out there either.

  Although I have been using a Mac since they first appeared on the market and can usually work things, I find it more and more difficult with all the new technology.  Everything that used to be so easy, one of the great things the Mac since MS-DOS.

  If anyone can help I would be very grateful, because I have a lot of files on this disc of old Mac and use the Iomega to backup my most important files.

  The drive may have failed.

  Try different USB cables.

  Remove the naked drive from the iOmega enclosure and test it in a known functional wardrobe.

  Ciao.

• New external USB 500 GB Portable Hard Drive appearing is not in Windows Vista

  I connected a new 500G portable hard drive to a front USB port on my HP PC (with an AMD Phenom X 4 image processor), under Windows Vista Home Premium. Windows presented a pop saying that the driver has been installed, then he said: USB device installed. The software of the device has been installed successfully and is ready for use.

  However when I looked for the drive in Windows Explorer it wasn't there. I read in this forum, and using the information that I realized that I accessed the computer on my PC management - up it only shows C: drive and D: drive image factory, but below that, when disk 0 is assigned to the C: and D: drives it shows disk 1, unknown, uninitialized. Assuming that it is the car in question, I tried to initialize the disk, but then the error FUNCTION INCORRECTE.

  I don't know what to do at this point. If the player has not been assigned a letter, there seems to be no way to transfer or partition.

  A new drive must be formatted. That is why it is sjowing up as disc 1, unknown, uninitialized.

  When I plug my portable hard drive to the usb port it does not read and display the contents...

  Hi deaza,.

  Ø Have you connected the USB hard drive to the computer directly or you have used an external USB hub to connect?

  O trying to connect to another USB port to check if it works?

  O the hardrive shows in windows of the computer when you connect it?

  Method 1:
  If you have installed security software, I suggest you to temporarily disable the security software and connect the USB and check to see if the same problem happens. Make sure that you enable the security software after checking.

  Alternatively, you can try to plug the USB key into a different USB port and check if it helps.

  Method 2:
  I suggest trying to launch hardware and troubleshooting of devices and check to see if it helps, here is the link:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-to-do-when-a-device-isn ' t-installed-correctly

  Method 3:
  If this does not help, then follow these steps:

  (a) remove all your USB devices. Use the safely remove the feature to turn them off.

  (b) open Device Manager and navigate to the section for USB. Uninstall all USB drives. There should be one for each USB port, and then restart.

  To open Device Manager, go to the link below and follow the steps:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-Device-Manager

  (c) Windows should re - find all of the devices. If it is not the case, note the error message and let us know.

  You can also navigate to the link below and follow the steps to install the USB device.

• Portable: hard drive DST SHORT failed

  My computer won't start and repeatedly goes to a blue screen with a sunburst type above (the mouse pointer still work). I've run the HP tests and get this result:

  "Short DST: FAILURE.

  FAILURE ID: GDSDBX-TLR7RJ-9XL03F-604J03

  PRODUCT ID: XF288EA #ABU

  Hard drive 1

  "Test drive: FAILED.

  I guess that means that my hard drive is irreparable, but can someone confirm this. Also, I will be able to buy another hard drive and use the ERD that I did to reinstall Windows 7? I ask because it was preinstalled on your laptop and came with no disk to reinstall. Only, I was commissioned to do a repair disk.

  Thanks in advance.

• Windows 7 computer portable HARD drive connected to a professional XP S3

  Windows 7 computer portable HARD drive connected via USB to a desktop XP Professional SP3 PC.

  PC shows the folders, I have access to the folder of Photos, but cannot access the Documents folder where files I need. I tried to share the folder, but it does not work.

  Any suggestions please?

  Probably, this can be corrected by taking possession of these files / directories.  Once you do this, however, you will find probably your permissions in disarray try to re - install the drive in your computer to Windows 7...

• portable hard drive of 1 t - can be used without a computer

  I need to a portable hard drive 1 t, as I can up load my pictures from my camera 7 d on the hard drive without using a computer. I don't want the addition of weight/packing space of computer on my church sponsored 2 week trip to Israel.

  Although there are offers available, they usually come to such a price premium you are much better off to find a small tablet or netbook computer that can accommodate a card reader and a USB hard drive external standard.

  These alternatives give you the advantage of being able to download a copy of your photos to the cloud using the wifi at the hotel. This way, if the drive is lost or stollen that you still have a backup of your photos available.

• How to use Ready Boost, and what are the requirements for the use of portable hard drives and flash drives for use with Ready Boost?

  I have Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate Edition and try to get Ready Boost to work on my PC using portable hard drives or flash drives. I have 2 portable hard drives (iomega 120gig, Seagate 250gig) and a 8gig sandisk cruzer flash drive. All this deterioration when you try to use the ready boost said that these discs only are not compatible or not supported. So what do I need?

  Not all readers will work with ReadyBoost. There are some readers who actually will specify that they are capable of ReadyBoost.

  By WikiPedia:

  • The device should have an access time of 1ms or less.
  • The device must be capable of 2.5 MB/s for 4 KB random read speeds indicates the spread uniformly across the entire device and 1.75 MB/s write for 512 speed random writes spread uniformly across the device.

  You must also put the device and let it plugged in for ReadyBoost. ReadyBoost is therefore best suited for a small thumbdrive (up to 4 GB) that greater thumbdrive or external HD that you would probably be disconnect from time to time.

  Open solutions Explorer window, find your Cruzer - right-click on it and click Properties. If there is a ReadyBoost tab, you can set up - set it to dedicate this device to ReadyBoost. It will be implemented and save a file on the USB key. Click Apply and're you good to go.

  A caveat which I can testify first-hand. Apparently while booting, Win 7 has trouble with some USB key - it will search the thumbdrive, the operating system, the process of starting to stall and you say: ' Missing Operating System ' - Fortunately the solution is very easy. Shut down the computer, remove the USB key, restart the computer and it will start normally. I had this happen with a 8 GB Cruzer. This seems to be a random thing, because I had the Cruzer plugged in and booted several times without encountering the error of missing operating system message. No idea why or why it is injury. Currently, I use a Kodak USB 2 gig key that seems to work very well.

• Can I create a recovery image on a flash drive or a portable hard drive instead of discs?

  I am trying to create a recovery image before moving on to 8.1, the recommendations for the media are discs or a USB Flash drive. Can I use my portable hard drive to create this place?

  Thank you for your quick response!

• How did you just watch and see which files/folders are already on the portable hard drive?

  Trying to access the site just to get a glance at what already on the disk. Haven't used in years. Think that it could possibly be this hard, never be you making fun of me!

  Hello Koolbreeze7,

  I'm not sure of the method that you use to access your external drive, but regardless of the type of drive, it's (portable hard drive, USB key, etc.) they are all accessible fashion.

  It works on all versions of Windows.

  Connect the USB hard drive. A driver installed the first time you use it.
  

  Click Start, then computer and double-click it to open it.
  

  You should see similar to this image of hard drive icons.

  

  When you plug the laptop drive, another icon of the disc is added to your list. This is the icon you open to access the content.

  If a new drive icon does not appear when it is connected, your computer does not recognize the drive and so you will have to go through the steps of troubleshooting of the error.

  Here is a video showing the same thing on a XP machine.

  Note: Where, he says, 'My computer' can be as simply "computer" depending on which version of Windows you are using.

   

• Can I have the HP Portable hard Drive 500 GB connected all the time to the laptop?

  Hello. I bought a HP Portable hard Drive 500 GB with USB 2.0 to 3.0 running on Windows XP in a Toshiba Satellite laptop since 2003. I had a few problems, probably due to the low speed of my USB port, but now it seems OK, as I moved it to a different USB port according to the instructions for help. My question is if the hard drive has been designed to be connected all the time or if I have to disconnect me and just use it whenever I have store information. Thank you

  Hello

  I connect 3 of them to one of my laptops all the time. I actually use a (7 ports) USB hub
