• WD external drive is not detected by the Windows backup program

  Original title: with a WD external drive backup program

  I have a WD My Book Essential 320 GB external drive. The Windows backup program does not recognize the drive... The drive IS recognized on my computer and I can access and transfer and copy and paste to it without problem. It's just the backup program which does not. No error message or anything. Only, it does not recognize the drive when I get to the destination area. I tried to update the drivers. The WD support site has Backup downloads for OTHER external drives, but not this one. Their Web site says to contact Microsoft support. Any suggestions?

  When I plug in a hard drive Seagate external 3 TB laptop is not see it.  I have an i7 desktop which has no difficulty to see TWO of these external sources.

  Why the laptop doesn't see the 3 TB external drive?

  If someone can tell me how to find the model number, I'll be happy to oblige.

  It comes with a 320 GB and 4 GB HARD disk but an extra 4 GB has been installed by the retailer, when I purchased from Harvey Norman.

• Lightroom - how to restore backed up files (not the Lightroom Catalog) from one external drive to another?

  How to restore backed up files (not the lightroom catalog) from one external drive to another.

  I've recently saved my photo files to one external drive to another. The backup (carbon copy clone) pointed out some files corrupt on the original drive.

  I deleted these files and find good copies of Time Machine backups.

  I want to get rid of the original external drive; use the recent backup as my main outside and then save it to a new disc.

  I'm not sure how everything is point lightroom for backups so he knows look on the new drive instead of the old drive and all points of exclamation and question marks go away.

  There are close to 60 000 images in several files with a 'parent folder."

  My best guess is Lightroom Help - create and manage folders - locate missing files

  Can I point to the folder of one of their parents, and all of the subfolders will return?

  This is the process for recovering files in lightroom and there will be a problem with so many photos?

• Using a LAPTOP computer and external drives to implement infrastructure ESX4 &amp; vsphere.

  Hi, people.

  Not been not not possible for me to acquire a robust and compatible to get by under ESX 4 Server (physical space at home, so many components niggle and not much more money to spend in), the only way that I would have to set up about 5/6 of the virtual machines in a field of messaging infrastructure running ESX4 in a portable high power (on the quad-core i3 / i5 or i7 processor) at least 6/8 Gb. RAM enough to satisfy my needs and requirements of the virtual computer.

  However, there is another parameter to be considered: external drives for execution of VMFS file systems, because modern systems (Sata, Pata, disks etc. interfaces) are not compatible for loading system; No virtual machine are taken care on them and, in case of, the performance will never good if each of them was running at the same time.

  The previous ideas must do some open and helpful (I'm sure they will) thoughts and advice:

  (1) has (or had) everyone feels with ESX4 in a processor of high power like the kind of I mentioned earlier? What has the vendor/model and material?

  (2) in the case of, how do you solve the question about to running 5 or 6 external drives for disc not computer usb virtual (AFAIK, ESX3 doesn´t support of USB drives)? NAS home (for example, LinkSys NAS200) is not enough to implement my desired purposes?

  (3) in my situation, the need of presentations good getting on ESX 4 and practice to get VCP certified, what has been your best idea in a hardware platform with space for?

  As usual, I'm very nice for your answers and advice.

  Andy.

  What you need to do is really not possible for a laptop - since it is a home network, I would look to get a whitebox - check-vm - Help.com or http://ultimatewhitebox.com/ sites dedicated to helping people like you looking for a box of cost effective to run reliable ESX -.
