WD passport external drive breaks down computer hp amd athlon, vista 32. Get the computer running again after that 3 full restores.

Have wd passport, it blocks the computer, (blue, white, green screen screen), the problem started when I tried to update the wd software from windows update, partially backed up files? Afraid to fix the unit on my computer I had to do 3 times system restore to return the computer to life a little somehow... but don't trust him more. A defender analyses and analyses of Kaspersky on wd drive and software, computer, crashed... again... and again. He is back on? So do shred computer and buy a new one? This is similar to what killed my Dell a few years ago... only without connection... computer external hard drive is HP (compaq cq60) AMD athlon x 2 64 vista 32 bit nvidia graphics (paralyzed, unable to start the control screen). No disk Windows vista. I think I have backup and restore disks but not enough savvy to use computer. Checked with computer shops, the Bill to fix is more than some new computers... 3-400 dollars.  At end of rope here, want to throw all this stuff of high technology on the window (pun!) and get back to newspapers and mail.

  • 3200 Maxtor disk external drive (installed) does not systematically start upward. I get the message "code 10". How can I fix it?

    I did troubleshoot directions, uninstalled and reinstalled.  Also disconnected and re-connected.  Sometimes it works, but not always.

    It is a new problem.

    According to this thread support, the drive doesn't have enough power to start, and sometimes the player not spin up. It seems that, over time, the power supply provided by maxtor, when you bought to deteriorate and no longer provide enough power to the drive. When the player does not have enough power to the adapter, it can try to draw power from the USB. When the player draws too much error, windows it disconnects and gives you the error code. try to find another 12v adapter that matches.

  • I need to transfer my docs from old XP to format external drive to new computer Vista.

    This XP formatted external drive is partitioned into several directories. They stored the files wmv, songs, photos, etc.

    When I plug in USB, Vista computer said that it has found the driver DEVICE USB IA37L080ATVC07-2. But this hard drive storage has not shown in the file manager.

    Since my Office XP no longer works, I took the primary hard drive and a plan to set up as external drive to retrieve the documents and files...

    Does anyone know how to make a Vista machine to copy files from external hard drives in XP?

    Open "Disk Management" and see if the USB drive is listed, if so, then simply assign a drive letter to each partition on the USB drive. Then, open Windows Explorer and copy your files on the computer of Vista Basic.

  • Together-hard drive breaks down when the resizing of the IDE

    Hi all

    I'm trying to resize a thin provisioned IDE drive using the following command:

    * Set-hard drive - HDD (Get-disk hard - VM myVm) - CapacityKB (37 * 1024 * 1024) *.

    However, I get the following error message when you try to do:

    Invalid operation for the device '0'

    The maximum size that works is 8GB (8 * 1024 * 1024) which is be the default size for the virtual Windows XP machine I created.

    Execution of the order, even against a SCSI drive works fine.

    I'm initially create virtual machines with a disk of 1 MB and resizing in order to reduce the time of provisioning. Someone has seen this before or know a work around? We currently lack of vSphere 4.0.

    Thanks in advance

    Not sure if this is a bug or by design, it appears however that you cannot resize an IDE drive. (Interesting that you mentioned that it works up to 8GB).

    One solution is to convert the drive.

  • What happens to my key if my hard drive is formatted, the key will work after that my hard drive is formatted?

    I want to know that my synchronized computer key will work if I format my drive hard because when the hard drive is formatted, then the key code is deleted, even though I saved my key will it work after formatting hard drive. Let me know.

                  let me also know that what will happen if I lose the key I had saved then how will I access my synchronized computer .
    

    Hello!

    Can you indicate the information where it says that the information is stored in our servers? If that mentioned anywhere we need to clarify.

    The only reference I found is here: How can I set up Sync on my computer? and it is specifically stated that the information is synchronized on devices through our servers. If it is misleading, let me know so that we can reword it.

    Regarding the storage of the key in your pen drive or any other backup system: this is the best solution and it will work correctly after you format your computer. The key does not change when you format your computer, so you will have no problems after all.

  • I had a virus on my computer acer laptop and thought restoring factory setings it would solve the problem. It wiped everything, including my computer windows. How can I get my computer running again and what I look at?

    the screen that appears whenever I start my computer says "windows boot manager, windows did not start." a recent hardware or software change might be the cause.

    fie: \windows\system32\winload.exe

    status: 0xc000000e

    Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or damaged.

    A factory restore should you restore your computer to its state when you bought it. If the factory restore did not work, you have to be a problem with the hardware or the original image. Do factory restore using the recovery disks, not the recovery image on the hard drive. Alternatively, you can contact Acer technical support about the error since it is their original which has been restored. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Computer running slow after the removal of McAfee.

    A few months ago, I removed McAfee from my computer (windows vista). Since then, he has really slow, constantly "not responding" and takes about two hours to get on the same page (before crashing again). Initially, I removed the program via the control panel. When I look at the performance data, I've got a base score of 3. The report of health system tells me that the beginning we is slow because of 'on-access scanner service', "mcshield.exe file name." I tried the selective startup options, try turning it off, but I can't find the program.

    I also ran the McAfee tool (from their website) to remove it, but no luck.

  • Windows 8. The mouse cursor disappears after that my computer sleeps and wakes up then.

    I unchecked property "mouse shadow."  After about 5 minutes of my violin with the other properties of the mouse, the cursor appears again.  My computer is brand new.

    Howdy,

    I too have been looking for forums and playing with the power settings for days - it was driving me crazy!

    I happy to report that I found a work around for this problem.

    Simply plug your mouse / KB in a USB hub - I got a hub powered bus of really cheap 4 ports (one that does not require an external power supply). If you like your classic Intellimouse Optical as I do, it may be the solution for you.

  • Could not get the internet/wireless connection after you installed new hard drive?

    I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC (dv6736nr), Windows Vista laptop.  The hard drive crashed and I got a new installed.   I set up my wireless connection, even that is on the other 4 computers in this building (my desktop computer running win7 netbook win7 running 2 computers of the landlord, winVista running - they have comcast modem,? a good router) when I set up the wireless connection, it connects only 'local', no internet.  I researched this some, tried all the places with a parameter that can be a problem, but nothing helped.  What the hell did I miss?  The connection is good because it works on my desk, on which I write, as I said. To my knowledge, the hard disk the the wireless are not connected; or is it? Any help, the concrete steps that I take on my laptop, the settings themselves, would be greatly appreciated.

  • Files could not be copied into a WD My Passport External Drive because of an error 0x8007045D i/o device

    I tried to copy files from my hard drive into an external Western Digital My Passport drive. But, as I was watching the progress of the copy of the files, I noticed that only four files have been copied to the external. A large majority of the files could not be saved due to an error 0x8007045D i/o device. I noticed it's the same error I get when I shut down my computer (in this case it is said error of breakpoint or something). Drag / drop files did not work. Still later, my USB key no longer works.  I tried to check my hard disk for errors, but my camera came out clear.

    I use Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit, E5800 Pentium Dual Core and an Asus motherboard.

    How can I get rid of this error because I need to transfer my files specifically in the external hard drive?

    Help, please. I'm not very tech savvy so simple instructions the better.

    Hi @roryheadmav!

    You can try the basic steps in such cases troubleshooting - first try to connect the hard drive to an another USB port of the computer and if possible with another USB cable.

    I hope that you will be able to transfer all the data you have, but in case it does not work, you can also boot into safe mode and try to copy the same and see if you can successfully complete the copy error-free operation. You can follow this article that describes how to enter Safe Mode.

    Hope this helps and let me know how it went.
