I have an external hard drive (Seagate), recognized by the PC but unreadable said, I'm on windows 8.1, I do not know how to solve this anomaly; tried it on another computer with windows 7, it is suggested to me to format the hard drive or hard drive that contains many files that I must not lose (archives) what can I do? Thanks in advance for your advice

Probably as a result of sector Hauptstr.
Windows key + X and is admin command prompt.
type this:
CHKDSK x: / f
(where x = drive associated with your external hard drive letter, and x: before and after x: there is a space)
and para on entry.
Command CHKDSK (check disk) will correct its mistakes and your external hard drive will be accessible again.

Probably due to errors in sector.
Windows key + X and select Administrator command prompt.
type this:
CHKDSK x: /f
(where x = associated with your external hard drive drive letter x: and after that x: there is a space)
and press ENTER.
Command chkdsk (check disk) will correct the errors and your external hard drive will be accessible again.

  • 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.

  • With the help of 2 external hard drives

    I want to connect 2 external hard drives (OWC Mercury Elite Pro) to my iMac.  I use one for the pictures and the other for the safeguarding of the iMac.  The two hard drives come with FireWire, USB 3 cable also.  Is it possible to connect the two leads one to the other with fireware, or do I need to connect one with firewire and other separately with USB? I would like to get the speed of firewire to both if possible.

    Thank you

  • El Capitan compatible external hard drive?

    I have a Macbook Air with OS Elcapitan 10.11.3. I want a recommendation compatible external hard drive. I heard that some external dives have"problems" with El Capitan.

    I am a tech and have a large selection of discs between my personal and professional materials. Each external drive, I have worked with El Cap. In general however I avoid external drives Western Digital WD uses owners chipsets that are sometimes not completely compatible with Apple technology. I have a couple Seagate, Toshiba and IOmega readers of 'ready made '. As I said, they all work with El Cap.

    I prefer to create my own OWC external systems or IcyDock enclosure. I tend to buy bare drives HGST, Toshiba and Western Digital these days. My speakers are for backups and a multimedia disc of high quality is very important. I tend to buy Server nu class disks. I prefer to make my own because it gives me total control over quality enclosure recognized with a standard chipset in the industry and also a known internal drive. When I didn't buy an external 'ready made' I have no idea what is inside or who did the speaker. At this moment I have USB 2 and FireWire speakers that are 5-8 years and still going strong (even if I swapped drives several times over the years). I don't think that I have a single 'ready made' disc, which is close to that age.

  • Steps to add an external hard drive

    Hello.

    My HARD drive becomes full, and I want to be ready for when it happens.

    I want to add an external HARD drive. What I've already read, I am supposed to do to import pictures on my new drive, no problem with that. I don't want a new catalog.

    Issue. Suppose that the newly added external drive is not connected and I want looking for some images, say of a son, Gideon. But I know that I have pictures of him on both discs, LR will say connect the external hard drive also? He follow where my pictures are so that he can tell me which drive to connect, it should happen that I then have 2 external drives?

    Thank you very much.

    Deon

    When a drive is not connected, you can still perform most of the functions in the library Module (such as research, discovered the thumbnail, add/edit metadata).

    You cannot develop or export or print the photos that are on the drive that are not connected.

    Yes, LR knows which drive photos are on, and if you try to develop one of these photos, or export or print, we'll tell you the reader is disconnected and you should plug it in again.

    ATTENTION: Under Windows, you will need some method of keeping the same drive letters. To do this, the easiest method is to choose a letter that is high in the alphabet (as S :) for a such propulsion, so that other USB drives do not interfere with the drive letter.

  • Seen my original library cut in two, can I have the second library on my laptop with images referenced on my external hard drive?

    Following the Division of the library and the Organization,

    I can duplicate the library system on an external hard drive. Then divide the library and erase part of it on my library system and do the same on the library to external hard drive blocking the erased part of the library system. Essentially to save space on my laptop. But I need to have two libraries on my laptop, one with the originals and iCloud services, and the second with "small pictures" listed on the external hard drive. Can I do it? How can I do? ¿Is - it safe on two libraries?

    Thank you!

    If you want to turn outside your library in a referenced library, with the originals on the external hard drive, you can not do it by duplicating the library if your original library is managed. Does not support photos to transform photos managed in referenced. The only way to make a photo referenced must import it such that referenced.

    You can do the following:

    • Export all the photo you want to move to a second library to your external drive.
    • Then, create an empty library on your internal drive and import the photos exported to this library with the preference "import. Copy items to the library' for disabled people.
    • Delete all the photos in your library that you moved to your new library referenced iCloud.
    • Keep a backup copy of your original library on your external drive, so that you can revert to the original version, if you made a mistake.

    Hi @db69613,

    Welcome to the HP forums! It's a great way to engage, ask questions and find resolutions by working with specialists from the community of HP.

    I'm just surprised at the levels of technical knowledge and technical skills that your possession. Hats off to you for this. It was very clever of you! It has been a privilege to have shared this platform with you and work with you.

    First of all, programs of a different version or windows session will not work on another computer as it was installed on the computer of origin at this time. It is an installation and application software, to the difference of the data or information that is accessible by any computer when the hard drive is connected. It is because no software installation binds the application of this specific operating system installed on this specific to the time machine.

    If the computer does not and the hard drive is accessible, all the content (such as music, photos, videos, and other information are accessible), but the programs have been installed originally are not available and will not work on any other computer when it is connected to the outside.

    However, if the hard drive works fine, windows is correctly installed, then the same hard disk can be installed on another PC of office and some of the programs should work ideally.

    I hope this helps! Please let me know how it goes. I really hope that the issue is fixed without hassle.

    If I saved photo on an external hard drive, I can now delete backup files from the laptop for free space - my 'E' drive is full and cannot run backups more.  Also other documents that have now been removed still have backups that I need?  How will I know what backup should I keep not individually through hundreds of files?  Thank you in advance.

    Original title: can anyone help please?

    Hello

    You can take a safe backup.

    After you create your first backup, Windows backup will add new information or changed to your subsequent backups. If you save your backups on a hard drive or network, Windows backup will create a new backup, full for you automatically if necessary. If you save your backups on CDs or DVDs and could not find an existing backup disk, or if you want to create a new backup of all the files on your computer, you can create a full backup. Here's how to create a full backup:

    1. Open backup and restore by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking the backup and restore.

    2. In the left pane, click on create new, full backup.
