• Copying files to Western Digital My Passport external hard drive is very slow.

  Original title: WD My Passport DHM emits

  Specifications:

  Western Digital My Passport Hard Disk (500GB)

  Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 SP1

  Laptop Lenovo G470 (USB 2.0 ports) (no infections of malware etc..) (All drvers put updated)

  Hello, I have a WD EHD and when I back up my files, I have run into some problems. The copy files dialog box doesn't move (the transfer rate and transferrerd files), I copy .avi, .mp4 movies in the root of the EHD. Sometimes the file transfer goes smoothly (even for large files like 10 GB-towards the top), but sometimes the transfer just freezes and the flashing light signal of the EHD WD just stops flashing. My DHM has also a downward transfer rate (starts for about 50 Kbps or more then deteriorates overtime Kbits/s 5 and lower). Although he manages somehow complete certain transfers of file (.mp3, .jpg and other small files). Note files that executables and other file prone malware as (installers, game and application installers are compressed to the .7z format)

  I tried a few solutions:

  1.) formatting of JEP

  2.) remove the partition in disk management and making it again a partition

  3.) to uninstall, reinstall the driver in Device Manager

  4.) tried on other PC and USB ports

  -I don't have a shorter cable to test if this is the problem and I do not hear the crackling sounds or have autumn EHD or pressed (no physical damage). The first time I have this problem was when one of my friends got my infected DHM and I format. Since then, the problem was just if I formatted JEP countless times and he well cleaned. Thanks in advance for your help :)

• Premiere Elements on external hard drive.

  I plan to buy Premiere Elements. Can be installed on an external hard drive?  I want to use my work which is much better than my current computer laptop. However, my IT Department. have a cow if they see anything else than to the stuff on the computer.

  Thanks for your help.

  You don't say what OS you are running. You can probably install an external hard drive, but it should be connected to your work computer during the installation and will leave traces in the work computer in the obvious places. You say that your IT Department will have a cow. I heard of people been fired for installation company not approved on a company computer. Is your work really worth?

• Sudden appearance of the names of long and digital folder on external hard drives

  I have a couple of external hard drives - from different manufacturers - that I use for storage of music and video files and backups. For some reason, the two generated spontaneously records with alphanumeric long file names - for example H:\6f4f50122a8503a6e12ba6813091dede.

  They have few locks on them and thus defy the deletion.

  In fact, I went to the length of formatting of disks. He gets rid of these files, but they come back soon. Does anyone know the purpose of these files?

  I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit flavor.

  No they are not needed, start in safe mode to delete

• Elements of external hard drives automatically put in the trash

  Hello everyone.

  Something strange has happened recently on my iMac (OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 version): I am a photographer and use several portable hard drives to back up my photos.  I hung 4 to my Mac while I'm typing this.  When they are attached and active, some of the articles on these portable drives are automatically put in the trash.  I'm very good on empty the trash and the last time I went empty, he said I had over 3 million items to remove.  I knew that something was wrong and through some trial and error, I figured out that if I ejected portable hard drives, the basket showed empty.

  No idea why things of my portable hard drives are automatically put in the trash and if yes, how can I change this?

  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

  Tony

  FWIW, there is no mechanism for a reader automatically put anything in the trash. Therefore related software. For example once a Mach time backup drive is full, it will remove older backups to make room for the new.

  The discs in question are come with preinstalled software?

• IO error 0x8007045D with Western Digital External Hard Drive in Windows 7

  I have a Western Digital 1 TB external hard drive, and I am currently running Windows 7.  When I try to move files on the hard drive I get the error 0x8007045D i/o and it won't let me move or copy the file.  What can I do to fix this?

  Error 0x8007045d is "ERROR_IO_DEVICE" - "the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error."

  Check the behavior in a clean boot, or insafe mode.  If it persists, you will have a problem with the external hard drive.

• My external hard drive missing from my computer

  Hi everyone is smarter than me... which would include about each of you.  ;-)
  I have a Western Digital 1 TB external hard drive connected to my laptop Dell Inspiron 6000 Intel Pentium clocked at 1.86 GHz proc running Windows XP V2002 Pro 32 bit SP3. Until a few days ago the WD is working fine since I bought it about 3 years ago.

  The problem: the drive is listed in the device as Manager works fine but it does not appear in my computer. I reinstalled the WD software and run the diagnosis that came back with a mistake or two test and repair but not yet in MyComp. I searched the entire computer, but the E: drive is not there. I have studied this thing to the end, including the proposed solutions on Microsoft here, but I am against the wall and do not know what else to do.

  Any suggestions?
  Thanks in advance!
  Mike

  Me = SHOUTING, CHEERING, YELLING, CELEBRATING, essentially going nuts!  :-)

  Guess what, y ' All? I found my Western Digital external hard drive!  I'm so excited!  I was not happy that since my children were born.  Laughing out loud.

  AND I OWE IT ALL TO TECH-GEEK! THANK YOU 1 BILLION, JILLION AND GAZILLION, BILLIONS OF TIMES!

  Your post today mentioning external hard drive to your customer and how you had retrieved all the data using http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk, it's what saved my life! I spent very little time on their site and very little time running of the programme and BING POW ZOOM! My drive is back, fully intact, not a single missing file!  I think it's all because I was able to give the drive a name (you know, L for logic and so forth). Because as soon as I wrote the files on the disk - which literally seconds - restarted, and BINGO! She's back in my computer!

  I can't begin to even formulate words to properly express how I am grateful to you, TG. I am most grateful. Can I make a donation to your charity in your name?

  A BAJILLION THANKS!

• E3000 displays "USB is not supported" error with external hard drive

  I have the E3000 router and recently bought a USB WD (Western Digital) 2 TB external hard drive.  I plug the HDD on the router, open the home page of the router (http://192.168.1.1/) then click on storage > disk and I get an error of "the USB is connected is not supported"-suggestions on how to solve this problem?

  Thanks for any help!

  I had the same problem with my WD hard drive today after setting up my E3000. Remove the protection 'security' or the password on the disk as well as level of what the duration of sleep obtained took care of this problem. My WD is now working with my E3000 seemlesly.

• Start with external hard drive problem

  I recently bought a Western Digital 1 TB external hard drive. When it is connected through the USB port my Pavilion a815n Windows XP hangs on the blue HP screen at startup. Western Digital technical support Advisor info sent to me I need to change a setting in BIOS but I can't find the trunk of USB device option setting in the BIOS of HP.  Can you tell me how to access this setting, or what else to do to solve the problem?  Thank you!  Jake

  Problem:
  After connecting a device USB to the PC, the computer does not start in Windows.

  Cause:
  The motherboard has a boot from the USB device, or a similar option, which is enabled in the system BIOS.

  Solution:
  In the system BIOS, disable the option to boot from the USB device and the USB Legacy Support option. This will allow the PC complete the process on the internal hard disk and allow you to enter Windows. If this does not work for any reason, you should boot your PC before connecting the USB key. Once the computer is fully booted Windows, plug the USB and wait for the operating system to detect the drive.

  Update the BIOS seems to have solve the problem. It was normally restarted with the attached hard drive.  Thank you!!  Jake

• Update of Windows, external hard drive + sound problems

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1720 with Windows Vista installed. I recently bought a Western Digital 1 TB external hard drive, which I forgot to unplug a couple times when I turned off the computer... Windows normally the thing 'install updates & stop', and I'm sure that he accidentally put the files to one of these updates on my hard drive, because a little bit ago, I noticedthis new file . He also said that the hard drive is used whenever I'm trying to remove it safely, even if I did open / running. I wonder if there is a way to solve this problem...? Is it safe to just delete the files from my external hard drive?

  In addition, around the same time, through the speakers of my laptop stopped working. He still works perfectly with headphones plugged in however. In playback devices, speakers/headphones (SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC) is active and supposed to be 'working '. When I check with Device Manager, it says that the software is up-to-date and fully functional. I wonder if this could possibly be linked to a bad Windows update... and also how to fix it.

  Thanks in advance for any help!

• Western Digital elements Desktop 1.5 WDBAAU0015HBK to external hard drive F:------is not accessible? !

  Hello

  Anyone know how to get your hdd to work again?
  When I try to open the WD hard drive in, start - computer and then double-click the hard disk drive, I just that stand: F: \ is not accessible.

  I built my desktop computer, on my own, win7 64-bit SP1 included, MSI MB, 128 GB Crucial M4 main hard drive.

  * Have tried to reboot the computer, does not work.
  * Plug the WD hdd in my laptop 64 bit Win7, do not work, same error.

  In Disk Manager, I see that the drive works fine, and I see that it has the right amount of space, since the last time I used the hard drive.

  Which means that I prefer not to format the drive hard until I moved all my important files on another hard drive.

  But how can I contact with my Western Digital elements Desktop 1.5 WDBAAU0015HBK to external hard drive?

  Best regards

  Hi Jessica,.

  First things first: Let's try to save your files!

  Method 1: (take a look at the method 2 first before you start method 1, it is perhaps more to your tastes).

  Since you have to build your own PC I guess you are tech savvy enough to boot your PC in a Linux environment. I've seen many HARD drives that suddenly don't would not open in Windows more but normally open in an environment Linux like Ubuntu, Mint, DSL, etc. etc.

  • Enter a blank (empty) USB key.
  • Download Universal USB install.
  • Find a Linux distro to your tastes. Just take a look at Distrowatch or just go with my favorite version: Linux Mint and download the .iso image file.
  • Run the USB installation tool
  • Step 1 scroll down to Linux Mint 13 cinnamon (or the distribution chosen by you)
  • Step 2 Browse for the right .iso image file downloaded
  • In step 3, select the empty USB.
  • Start the process.

  When finished restart your PC with the USB attached. During startup, select the menu boot options and choose to boot from USB. Now boot Linux Mint. No installation required! : D

  When you arrived at the office, search your Western Digital HDD elements in 'computer '. Now hope and pray that it will open! If so: start copying all the files and folders immediately to another drive.

  When everything is save go in Windows and format of the WD hard drive. With a little luck, it'll work again. You'd better check the SMART data to see if the drive status.

  Method 2:

  Since the drive appears in disk management, try to make an image using a program like DriveimageXML or what you want. Once finished, try to read the contents of the image. If you are able to do this, you have just saved your data. Now format the WD hard drive. With a little luck, it'll work again. You'd better check the SMART data to see if the drive status.

  Good luck, Sebastian.

• BSOD when establishing an external drive of 3 TB Western Digital Elements on Win XP SP3

  I have a Dell Latitude E6400 with Win XP SP3 and I just bought a 3 TB Western Digital Elements external drive. When I plug it into the USB port, it seems that the drivers are about to install as they would with any new material, but I get a BSOD immediately.

  And what is 'exactly' the bugcheck BSOD error message?

  Windows XP 32-bit only recognizes the MBR disks and MBR disks have a size limit of 2 TB because of the limitations of partition table.  Greater than 2 TB of disk uses a style of partition GUID partition table (GPT) and 32-bit XP Window does not support this style of partition.  You will need get a Western Digital driver to use this drive with Windows XP.

• Western Digital 1 TB My Book external hard drive on Vista 64 - Bit needs driver. Windows can't find it!

  Here's the deal. I bought a Western Digital 1 TB my book about 2 months ago. I plugged on my DELL XPS laptop running Vista 32 bit with no problems and managed to save all my files. Everything worked very well. Although this computer is damaged and sent to DELL for repair. Make the long story short, a replacement computer was sent to me. Now, I have a DELL studio XPS under Vista 64 bit and now the external hard drive is not recognized.

  I understand that Vista supposedly recognizes external drives and download the drivers when connected to the computer. Windows tries to find the driver but is unable to find and does not install. In Device Manager, the drive will appear as unknown device under other devices.

  I searched for an answer to my problem and posted on yahoo as well, but nothing useful that worked were found at the moment. When I do an automatic search for the driver, windows cannot find the software and refers me to the manufacturer of the device. Western Digital returns me to Microsoft.

  I tried all references to Western Digital troubleshooting, and as I said, this device works perfectly on the 32-bit system. I know that this has been a problem for many and would like to know if there is something I can do to get this device working once more. I don't want to reformat the drive, but if I do how can I if the Vista operating system can not find a driver?

  Thank you. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  I searched for the 64-bit operating system compatibility page and indicates the compatible reader.
  
  This is the exact drive I own: My Book Essential Edition 2.0 WDH1U10000 - disk hard - 1 TB - Hi-Speed USB

  The issue is clearly with WD, the 64-bit driver that they provide or the firmware for their unit
