  I can't open my camera of withdrawal because it asks to format when inserted, but when format us windows says it can't complete the format

  This problem is usually caused by

  1. problem with the connecting cable
  2. the problem with USB port
  3. problem with the device itself.
  I suggest you try changing ports and cable. If this does not work, the problem is with the device only.
  In addition, note that the option to remove is not necessary to be used if you use Windows XP or a higher version of Windows and the device has an indicator of activity.
  
  As you can see, most USB storage devices are configured for the fast-moving, which means, no need to use the option remove safely. If you are sure of a use, for example, a file transfer operation is complete, you can remove the device directly.

• Error: "Windows could not complete the format" when you try to write to blank DVDs

  I get this error when you try to copy files to a blank DVD.  I am trying to drag and drop files into the dvd player and after a small roar, the dvd ram drive stops and the error message.  Then the drive no longer recognizes blank dvd inside.  I am running Vista 32 bit and my dvd ram is a matshita dvd - ram uj880as ata.  I tried to switch to the microsoft 'FixIt' site, but the problem is not resolved.  I think that the report mentioned that the reader could recognize not writable or something to that extent.  The player can play DVDs fine, however.  Is there a solution to this problem by replacing the dvd ram drive?

  Hello

  Have you tried to close all programs and then insert the disc to see what is happening? Try a slower
  speed or mastered format. Have you added any burning new software lately - these tend to compete
  for resources and can interfere with each other.

  Should which CD or DVD format I use?
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/which-CD-or-DVD-format-should-I-use

  ====================================

  You have disk problem as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD read).
  Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

  Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

  CD have a tolerance + - and you can write on the outside edge.

  Notes on the troubleshooting and repair of readers of compact disks and CD-ROM Drives
  http://www.repairfaq.org/repair/F_cdfaq7.html#CDFAQ_014

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

  Try this troubleshooting:

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Hope these helps.

  Hi GloriaZF,

  What is the size of your external hard drive and what is the available free space? Open my computer-> right click on the external hard drive-> properties. You will not be able to copy more data if the disk is full, or who have less space compared to the size of the file you are trying to copy.

  You need to remove the order data to make the space more. Deleted data from the device USB will be permanently deleted and will not be stored in your Inbox, so take care while eliminating unnecessary data.

  I hope this helps.

• When I place a disc in my CD - DVD player, it says that it cannot read the media.

  I use a Windows 7 computer and everytime I put a DVD in the drive, it says that it cannot read the disk media. I tried to uninstall and reinstall it, I also tried the Player update. The computer realizes that the drive is in the computer, but it will not play any DVD or CD. Anyone know how I can get running without having to disassemble the computer?

  Clean the disc with a DVD cleaning disc, available in most stores and retail businesses.  If this fails so that the reader has probably not and must be replaced.

• When you export, Lightroom default 5.5 by e-mail instead of hard disk when I put up presets user on a computer that is running windows.  Could this be a framework for Microsoft outlook that does this?  I can't understand.  Thanks in advance.

  I use the latest version of Lightroom (5.5) and when I try to set up new user export presets, Lightroom keeps default 'e-mail' instead of 'hard drive '.  I am using Microsoft Outlook.  I just want to export small files in a folder on my hard drive to upload on a photography website that I belong to but Lightroom wants to email them instead.  I can't understand this strange behavior and why it does not work as it is supposed to.  I don't know if it's a problem of lightroom, an OS problem or a problem with Microsoft Outlook.  Thanks in advance.

  I had the same problem and I solved it by choosing post-processing-> after export-> Do nothing, instead of just leave it blank. It will be useful.

• When I open my external hard drive via laptop, windows Explorer restarts automatically.

  When I open my external hard drive via my laptop, windows Explorer restarts automatically. Why is it so? It opens perfectly well in other major tours. I use windows vista.

  Hello

  ·         You receive an error message when you restart the Explorer?

  Method 1:

  You can run a scan on the hard drive to check for errors and repair if there is no performance problem.

  Reference:

  Check a drive for errors

  Method 2:

  Attempts to start in the State of clean boot and check if the problem persists.

  Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

  See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
