• Windows Explorer: Impossible to copy an external 6 GB ISO on hard drive file - file too big error

  My problem is exactly similar to this thread: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7files/thread/a6c41ba8-1496-4993-9304-59476e797581

  I am trying to copy a 6 GB ISO on my external hard drive file, but I get the error "the file is too large for the destination file system . My external hard drive is a FAT32 file system.

  Is there one solution other than the formatting of my external to NTFS? And if not, what are the dangers of do?

  Thank you.

  Michael Murphy is correct to identify the problem, but I do not share his solution (more specifically requested an alternative formatting).

  There is another solution it's your external drive to NTFS format - convert to NTFS (which means that you will not lose your data, programs and settings just as you would if you formatted).  It is the best way to convert a drive to NTFS and is specifically designed for this purpose - I wouldn't format the drive unless I had no other choice (and you can) - it is not the process of corroct for this task (but to be honest it will work, but again it will be wpe the external drive clean information in the process when this is not necessary).

  Here are the steps to perform the conversion.  It is very easy.  http://techblissonline.com/fat32-to-ntfs-conversion-in-windows-xp-or-vista/.

• Can not use the USB ports on my Satellite P10

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P10 3 years computer that has 3 USB ports. None of them works although the power is coming from them than my external mouse upwards but lights does not work. In Device Manager it says that everything is working ok IE all the drivers, etc. I was told that it's probably the motherboard?

  Maplins it's a software problem. I tried a PCI card with USB port but they no longer work. The PCI location is fine but as my wireless adapter card works from there ok. I restored the computer 3 times and each time the USB ports do not work.
  Any suggestions? I want to add an external mouse drive DVD etc...

  Any help appreciated... Mark

  Hello

  Did you use the clean Toshiba Recovery CD to restore the operating system on your laptop or have you installed the operating system from the original Windows CD.
  I advise to use the Toshiba Recovery CD because all the driver and patches installed on this CD.

  The USB ports provide a current of 500 ma, and it is a standard. If several external devices connected to ports needs more power as 500mA, then it of possible that the laptop does not detect USB devices several.

  In Device Manager, you may turn off the power save the unique option to the USB ports.
  You can do this in the properties of the USB port

  Additional I advise to use a USB hub with external power clean.
  These devices are not very expensive and will allow you to connect and use several devices together.

• Can I use external recovery disk to do clean install of Windows Vista?

  Hello

  The hard drive in my old PC has not totally. I have a CD of the manufacturer of the PC which is labeled

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

  External recovery (32-bit)

  (For distribution with a new PC only) .

  I was hoping to buy a new hard drive and use this disc to do a clean install of Vista. Is this possible with this drive?

  Unfortunately, I can't support this constructor because they went bankrupt a few weeks ago, and their website has been taken down.

  Thank you.

  I have now managed to fix the problem and install Vista successfully by, in the BIOS, changing to AHCI to IDE.

• Clean install of windows 7, now I have no permission to copy on external hard drive.

  I have a HP media center 2005 office which originally had XP on it. I bought an upgrade Windows 7 years and installed and never had a problem. Two weeks ago I reformatted my computer to get rid of a redirect virus, and everything seems to work perfectly except for one thing: my C: drive and both of my external hard drives, K:, and M: require administrator privileges to copy/paste/modify anything.
  When I did a clean install it automatically gives me an admin account.

  My question is, what can I do to change the permissions and security settings, while I have a total control over EVERYTHING. I recently tried video file on my external drive and he told me that I needed permissions and click ok to try. But he did nothing.

  I want access to all of my files. Drive C and the two external. I noticed that the security options when I consult my files or directories where showing these accounts:

  SYSTEM
  Josh (Josh-PC\Josh)
  Administrators (Josh-PC\Administrators)
  Everyone

  and I was getting a SID that is long enough

  There are a lot of files, but one in particular that made me on this hunting witch was changing my user profile file in Firefox. I did a clean install and wanted to change the shortcut menu in firefox, but also a few other settings.
  This just happened to reside in C:/documents and settings /

  The recipe is the same as before: take ownership of the problem folder. It make recursive so that you don't need to treat each case separately.

• I just cleaned the gills vacuum in my desktop iMac computer and removed and cleaned where is ram and now my iMac does not illuminate and the screen is black. My external hard drive turns on and I can hear it running, but that's all. Any ideas. I'm devasta

  I thought I was doing the right thing, but now it is clear that I was not properly clean even if I was very gentle. Why the screen lights up or really light up at all. Completely black and the keyboard does not light either. Someone has an idea? Thank you

  Unfortunately, vacuums are very statically charge and their use within electronic devices is usually not a good idea. It is very possible that the discharges of static electricity has damaged your iMac.

  I hope that you unplugged the iMac before cleaning. Make sure that the iMac is reconnected.

  Hold the Apple store nearest to the assessment of the iMac.

• It seems my time machine and external hard drive are wiped clean this morning I started my computer. Is there a way I can know for sure if anything is salvageable?

  I started my iMac this morning find a message that I didn't stop my Seagate external hard drive properly. I always just shut down my computer, I do not close the hard drive first. Now the computer says disc is not readable by this computer. Looks like it's a goner but maybe not, I don't know. I can't tell if it's the same thing to my Lacie Time Machine. There are no backups on it. How will I know what to do? Nothing is salvageable?

  

  Try to run a disk utility to repair your disk of TM. It seems that there are 757 GB of backup data it me.

• the commands > clean XHTML... and now the document will not be up-to-date on external server

  I have had a warning before I performed the clean up of HTML, but ignored. Can someone give me an idea where to start the search for a solution. I think that the site is running a model off the coast and add these changes to all model-if it exists... Please help

  Thanks in advance

  Looks like you might be confused about what do models DW (.dwt files).

  Model DW are not used by the server, they are only used locally by DW himself. Download a .dwt the server does nothing for the child pages on your server.

  When you change a .dwt file, DW asks to update all the pages associated with it (you might have broken depending on whether the error). When you click "Update" DW changes all child pages associated with the .dwt locally. You then download all of these child changed pages.

  The .dwt itself needs to be on the server, if you plan to share it with someone.

  If you do not use a .dwt, could you explain your workflow a little more in detail?

• Starts the Powerbook g3 pismo of the external drive?

  Hello, all,.

  
  

  I want to start my Powerbook G3 (Pismo) running OS 9.2.2 since the restore in one disc external hard drive. (PB knows he has a drive hard internal , but the drive does not read discs in there.) The computer goes up the disc - its own restore disk - when it comes starts with Macintosh HD as a player start, but when I try to use the restore disc as commissioning, starts to drive to go up, but the door opens. Even if I hold the door closed, the computer starts low to halfway and glued in place: first, the question mark flashing, then commissioning with Macintosh HD but then freeze it.

  This happens even if I chose as the startup disk restore disk in the startup configuration panel. This means that I can't even begin to use disk utility to clean the hard drive of the computer. I did that with two other computers (reset several times), but those who had internal functioning disks. Is it possible that I can do this computer using the external drive as the boot? I read that the G3 Pismo that allows. I know I can get someone to take out the hard disk and smash, but I expect much prefer to destroy it myself. And I can understand how to remove the hard drive, but it seems to imply a boatload of maneuvers and some tools that I have, at the present time. I would not completely destroy the computer. It would be good for recyclers to be able to retrieve some parts, though they might be useful to someone.

  It is possible that I can't boot from the restore disc in the external drive, but maybe there's something that I have not yet tried. It seems crazy that the external hard drive with the restore disc appears on the desktop with a normal restart, and I can choose as boot drive but can't seem to complete commissioning. If anyone has any ideas on this subject, I would appreciate it a lot.

  Thank you.

  Are you trying to boot the PowerBook to an external optical drive that is connected to a USB port or your external drive connectivity FireWire?  If it is USB, that is the problem.  The reading of an optical drive connected by USB is one thing, but start since it is a different matter.  Unfortunately, your Pismo is not capable of this.

• Time Machine deleted messages on an external drive to the trash can on iMac are taking place on the hard drive?

  I am struggling with a computer, try to empty the trash with 1million 300,000 Time machine backup files. It runs for two days now and won't install. At this rate, I'll need a week before my computer becomes viable. I don't feel able to go to the Terminal to do the trick. Also at this point, I'm afraid to stop the process again... Backups on an external drive of pigs 400 GB on my drive hard imac... I have so little room to work right now. I deleted some 200,000 files already yet the storage on my imac HD has not moved. The files in the Recycle Bin of the external drive really live on my hd now until they will be deleted if all goes well before Christmas?

  I have a new computer to come next week so I'm wondering if I'll just reformat my entire hd in my imac to solve this problem... Any ideas?

  You do all this in the Finder?

  Time Machine has to delete the files from the user interface, normally "browsing Time Machine backup", navigate to the desired folder, and select the option "delete all backups of...» ». This is the approved way that should work.

  If you are manually dragging the items in the trash of in a Time Machine backup, it can choke. Time Machine stores data with many levels of access control permissions & Finder seems to have difficulties to remove to empty the trash. In fact, I think that the TM drive has limits to prevent normal users to change data on this disk.

  Personally, I think your safest option is to abandon the process, restart, erase and reformat the Time Machine drive. Who will lose all history backups but again in a clean condition seems to be better than trying to manually prune the Time Machine data. Time Machine removes old backups when it is full - so you shouldn't really need to intervene like this anyway.

  Wait and see if anyone has a better idea.

  P.S., each disk has its own "basket", so doing drag items should not fill your Mac startup disk. Maybe the operating system is out of memory, try to process all the files, exit other applications & see if that changes anything, you may have to wait just if you want to avoid to abandon the process.

• External hard drive in the process of disappearance

  I use a Synology hard drive for storing music. Until recently, it was linked to an ethernet cable to an Airport Extreme, which then connected to a Mac Mini which I use as a player. After that a closed power Synology became unusable/invisible when it is connected to the Airport (and the hard LAN is not lit). But when I connect it directly to an ethernet circuit (set up to extend a network established by another airport functioning as a router) the external drive becomes visible. The problem with this is that the transfer speeds are much slower (although not quite slow to affect the sound quality) and iTunes must have the file for each song is identified and selected individually in order to play.

  Any suggestions on how to make recognizable tough with a direct connection to the airport? The glitch is more likely to be at the airport or the Synology disk?

  When I saw the title I was sure that this would be another problem of USB hard drive... We don't have a lot of problems with Synology, which are excellent products by hand.

  I would say that your test procedure indicates the problem with Airport Extreme. Since the Synology works when plugged into another device on the network.

  The witness of not on network indicates a problem of basic connectivity. I suspect that stop feeding has corrupted the configuration of EI... It's weird, but it happens.

  My recommendation is just factory reset of the AE and start with a new clean configuration.

  If you are using a very old AE... so let me add a few questions...

  Æ must be connected by ethernet to the rest of the network. And then in Bridge mode and create a wireless network... does not extend...

  Or to extend a wireless network (from another router from Apple) and no ethernet on its wan port.

  You should not use join a wireless network. This option is not yet available in Airport utility later to the extreme... but it is always possible to get messed up with previous utility.

  I will also say that old AE may fail on the ethernet ports. What model exactly is EI? If it's more than say 5 years, it is time to update without worry.
