  Hi dynamitenews

   

  1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
  2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

   

  You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

  Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.
  
  BIOS WARNING-
  Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly.

  I hope this helps.

• Why my TestStand deployment installation appear under my Windows will not start menu of my target machine?

  Why my TestStand deployment installation appear under my Windows will not start menu of my target machine?

  I managed to install the deployments of work to the target machines. However, I expected to see the classified facility "My TestStand system" in my Start menu, but it is not. Am I misunderstanding something here?

  Also, if I do another target second deployment to the station as "My TestStand system B", all LabVIEW files in my previous installation for "My system TestStand" disappear from the directory (c:\Program Files\My TestStand system) target.

  I use TestStand Professional 4.2.1 on Windows XP and LabVIEW 2009 development station.

  Thank you Paul,.

  That solved my second problem and inspired me to look deeper for the response to my first problem. The answer lies in the tab 'distributed file","Installer properties' box 'create a program item:

  

  Wouldn't be nice if it is automatically checked by default for main sequence files? Wouldn't also nice if "Upgrade Code" was regenerated automatically by default whenever we have saved the file *.tsd under another name?

• Cannot copy files from a USB USB Kingston on WD external hard drive

  When I try to copy large groups of a Kingston DT101 (32 GB Tumbdrive) files on an external hard drive WD (WD3200MLSP: 32 GB) the computer does nothing and there is no "Copy" dialog box I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers but it does not work. However, when I copy only the sections of the USB hard disk, then copy works. I use the Ctrl + C to copy the files and the light on the USB flashes on then off. Then, when I navigate to the folder on the hard drive and I press Ctrl + V to paste the files, the light on the USB key turns on and remains lit. However, the lights on the hard drive WD do nothing.

  It depends on the size of the file.

  It files are 4GBs or more and the player is formatterd to FAT32, it will not transfer due to limitations of size of FAT32 file transfer...

  See you soon.

  Hi Rob,

  Thanks for the son. HP do not have an update of the firmware.

  DevManView let me see all the devices that are installed.

  I disabled the device I think about the origin of the conflict, but which has not set a problem.

  I'll have to get the keys to void Current Control Set.

  Thanks for your help.

• Why LR4 shows me two folders to an external hard drive?

  Hello.

  So I don't know that I can explain so I tied this screenshot. LR4 shows two external hard drives 'ESF-PHOTO' when it's really only. It has the same folder on the two 20120523_straight_down called on each, but in each case there are 4 images even though it says 3. Two of these images are reversed, and I think that's why it says 3. I tried the update folder location. I tried to synchronize the folder. I tried to remove the top folder, called 20120523_straight_down, which then gets rid of the ESF-top PHOTO. After that I try to add the image missing fourth to the different 20120523_straight_down folder and it adds just this second ESF-mystery PHOTO by car.

  

  All this happened after I moved the catalog and images on this external hard drive and run Carbon Copy Cloner to support up to a second disc. Once this is done, I restarted LR4 and began working on an image in PS6. When I closed this image and returned to find the Edit version in LR4 I couldn't find it. Once I found it after searching all pictures with its file name that I saw that there were two ESF-PHOTO files.

  When I have tried all the above troubleshooting I unplugged the backup drive.

  It is a difficult question. Any one guide me through on this one can.

  See you soon,.

• Why has Lightroom copied my pictures from my external hard drive to my drive internal while the import?

  I loaded all my photos on an external hard drive, created a new catalog and imported into Lightroom CC. However, there, without checking the book 'copy' copied all the pictures imported on my internal drive and they also linked in this way. Is it possible to ask Lightroom to just link the photos on my external hard drive?

  If you want pictures to stay where they are on the import, you must specify "Add", not "Move" or "copy".

  

• To pictures of portable external hard drive

  I have a lot of pictures on my laptop and a catalogue prepared by Lightroom 3.5.  I decided the best way to store photographs is to keep on an external hard drive so that I can work it easily from any computer on my network. (laptop is often cut)   Is there a way to keep/import/export/edit the current catalog so that it works with the pictures on the external hard drive? I wouldn't really have to redo the catalogue with all the keywords everywhere.

  You can copy or move the catalog file (*.) LRCAT) for the external hard drive with your operating system (Windows or Mac Finder). Then, once moved, double-click it to open it. All of your information catalogue (keywords, other metadata changes) will be available.

  The only problem (for Windows users, I don't know if this is true for Mac) is that the external hard drive should have the same letter on each computer you attach to. In other words, if it is today the E: drive on your computer, it must be the drive E: on all computers. Is relatively easy to change in the Windows drive letters; If you need to know how to do this, let us know.

• I can't find my external hard drive under 'Computer' but it appears in "Devices and printers" How can I access files on my external hard drive?

  I can't find my external hard drive in "computer".

  I just bougth a new HP computer running Windows 7.  I just copied a bunch of movie files, music and photo of my old Mac (OSX Leopard) on a Western Digital external hard drive.

  I plugged the external drive in my HP via USB 2.0 on the front of the computer.  Windows recognizes the drive.  She appears in the Panel of external control/hardware and Sound/devices and printers as "HARD disk".

  It does not appear in 'Computer' under 'devices with removable storage ".

  I just want to get to my files so I can copy them to my new computer.  How to access my files on the external hard drive?  Why isn't he appear in 'computer '?

  Hello ShamedMonkey,

  Thank you for your message.  The problem you are having is because of differences in formatting between PC and Mac.  You can, however, transfer your files between the two.  I will set out what must be done under and limitations of each.
  First, you will need to format the drive on your PC.  When you format the PC, you can format it in FAT32 or NTFS.
  (You mentioned that you do not see the drive in the computer) To format drive:
  Click 'Start' > right click on 'Computer' > select 'manage '.
  Click on "disk management".
  In the right pane, you should see your drive > you can then do a right click and 'format '.
  FAT32:
  This format will allow you to easily transfer files between the two.  This format becomes problematic when you transfer files more than 4 G.  There is a limit of 4 GB in FAT32, etc. of many movies are bigger than that and cannot be transferred using this format.
  NTFS
  This format has no size limitation, however, in its normal state it will be 'Read only' on Mac.  If you will not be able to transfer all the data itself.  While doing some research on the web, it seems that you can use a program called MacFuse on your Mac to change to NTFS files.  I have not confirmed this, but you can give it a try.  If this program works as planned, it would be the way to go.
  Please let us know if it did or did not solve your problem.
  See you soon
