• Why my external hard drive appears twice in Lightroom?

  My folders to Lightroom 6 are broken down into '2015' and "2016." However, under the section of the folders on the left, it lists my external hard drive twice, by 2015 one of them and 2016 in another. It wasn't a big deal, but when I went back and added the "Oct" file in 2015, he put it under the folder 2016 for some reason any. Folder does not exist "Oct" less 2016 on my hard drive, just in the case of 2015.

  I tried to move it and it won't let me (because, ironically, it is said there is already a file named "Oct" that exist - I know there are, that's why I want to move it where it belongs!) ». I don't understand what is happening. Very frustrating. Should I delete something and try again? Thank you

  Please help and Windows 7 or windows 8.1 PC do the same thing.

  Hello

  I found the description of the product of this external HARD disk:

  Product features:
  • USB 3.0 - powered portable add-on storage.
  • Voltage of bus capable USB, no need for AC adapter.
  • Easy to use with no software to install.
  • Adapts to large digital files with spacious storage capacity.
  • Protect your drive (internal shock sensor and ramp loading technology).

  Specifications
  • Capacity: 1.0 TB
  • Interface: USB 3.0
  • Transfer rate: up to 5 Gb/s
  • Speed: 5 400 rpm
  • Average access time: 12ms
  • Cache buffer: 8 MB

  It is a HARD USB 3.0 drive. No doubt the HARD drive is not recognized correctly in windows exploerer due to the low power.
  The USB 2.0 port common feeds only 500mA. The USB 3.0 device must be able to 900mA.
  Therefore, it would be advisable to connect this 2 ports USB 2.0 HARD drive with a USB Y cable

• 2nd hard drive appearing is not in my computer

  My 2nd hard drive is not appearing in my computer.  The hard drive was a slave, that I took from my old xp machine after it crashed.  I had installed in my new vista machine before and it worked, but then I had to reinstall the operating system and since then he did not appear.  I double checked to make sure, it has been defined as a slave drive and it is.  It appears in the Bios, Device Manager and in disk management, but not in my computer.  Nothing is appearing as unallocated in disk management and the player said his good health.  In the Device Manager, it says the device is working properly.  I tried to give him just a drive letter in the management of records, but when I right click on it the only option I have is help.  I also tried to update the drivers, he says that they are up-to-date.  I tried deactivation and activation of the hard drive.  I even tried to uninstall.  When I rebooted, it detects and reinstalled the drivers, but I still can't get it to appear in my computer.

  Alw179,

  so I assume you are using the new Windows 7 for this post.

  Proposal of John Doe has worked for me. This is how do you a little more in detail:

  step 1: Windows 'Start menu '.

  Step 2: SPECIFY the, "disk management" in the box "search programs and files" at the botom

  step 3 find and RIGHT click on the hard drive in the list that program shows.

  step 4: select 'Change Drive Letter and paths '.

  step 5: click Add and make sure that ASSIGN it THE FOLLOWING DRIVE LETTER: bubble is selected and then use the drop-down menu to select a drive letter, do not use it.

  step 5: click OK

  step 6: complete, you should have something pop up indicates that your hard drive is available to show.

  I hope this helps.

• Adapter Ultrabay - HARD drive does not appear

  I just bought a new adapter for my T400 Thinkpad ultrabay. I put a brand new Toshiba 320 HDD and place in the laptop. The HARD drive is another laptop but is still new, I bought my companion who has installed a newly purchased SSD in his cell.

  in any case, when I placed the ultrabay adapter in the notebook with the new HARD drive, I received a message that Windows 7 was install drivers for the new Toshiba drive, the standard procedure. But I don't see anything in my computer.

  HARD drive appears in Device Manager but not in my computer. See the screenshot.

  I tried to follow these instructions with no luck. I also tried to update the BIOS with no luck.

  The light on the adapter does not-maybe it is somehow off?

  Help, please...

  Too bad. I solved the problem. I used Partition Wizard Home Edition to see the drive and create a new NTFS partition on the HARD drive and a drive letter assigned.

  Thought I'd post the solution here if someone would know a similar problem.

  Hello

  I think it might be 2 possibilities, why it does not work.
  First the external drive is dead and that is why it does not work or there is something wrong with the USB ports.
  Sometimes after installing SP2, the ports will not work.

  For this, I found this Microsoft Knowledge base article:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=873169

  I think you should try to connect this USB HDD on another computer, make sure that the HARD drive is not altered.

  My brother uses a with USB cable external HARD disk that supports 2 USB connectors.
  This cable allows you to use the USB ports and dual power.
  I think that's not a bad idea, try using a USB hub with an external power supply and then connect the HDD to this hub.

  Eventually, it helps.

• HARD drive is not recognized on the Satellite 2800 200

  Hello

  First of all, I'm Dutch so I hope that I do not have too many mistakes in my English writing.

  I bought a 2800-200 Satellite at a friend's House. This laptop has a problem.
  When it is started is says "insert the disk in the drive system. Press a key when readya?.

  My bios is ACPI BIOS version 1.80
  In Pheripheral in Bios it says disc hard = not used Mode.

  On page two discs i/o: HARD drive: no drive.

  I tried two hard drives and the two were not working and not recognized in the BIOS.
  I have no CD of restoration.

  My questions:

  What kind of central computer has this laptop?
  Can someone help me with the recovery CD?
  What can I do to fix this?
  How can I change my BIOS so that the HARD drive is recognized?

  My hard drive is MK2023GAS and is not broken. There is nothing on this HARD drive.
  But also with the disk hard 10 GB of origin, I had the same problem.

  I hope you can help me and once again I apologize for my English.

  Hello

  I'll try to help you my friend.

  > When it is started is says "insert the disk in the drive system. Press any key when ready
  This message appeared on my laptop after the HARD disk is dead.
  I had to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the operating system.

  I guess that it of the same problem with your laptop. The HARD drive is not present or not recognized, and you will need to install a compatible HDD for the operation of the OS.

  I have google a bit and discovered that this laptop comes with the 10 GB HARD MK1016GAP of Toshiba drive. It supports the interface ATA-2/ATA-3/ATA-4/ATA-5.

  Please note that many BIOS have a limit of size of HARD drive. This means that not all HARD drive sizes are supported! I assume a 20 GB should be compatible, but this is just my own opinion
  > How can I change my BIOS so that the HARD drive is recognized?
  The BIOS can be modified outside the update (check page driver Toshiba-> Archive-> archive of Satellite).
  But vary important is that you use a compatible HARD drive.

  > Can someone help me with the recovery CD?
  Don t know if you will be able to order this CD at the service provider allowed in your country, because the laptop is really an oldie. But you should ask the guys.
  What you is to install the OS from the Microsoft CD-ROM and then could install drivers needed.

• Example: officejet j4580: why my printer say my appears not connected to my computer

  Why my printer say my appears not connected to my computer

  Hello @momodeda!

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  I don't know why the computer does not show the printer offline, but I would be happy to provide help to try and get communicating them again!

  The first thing I would suggest is to power cycle all the devices.  Remove the power to the printer, shut down the computer and remove the power to the router.  Wait 20 seconds, then reconnect the router.  Wait for the lights on the router to return.

  Plug the printer in and turn on the computer.  Once all devices are back on, try printing again.

  If this does not work then I would recommend uninstalling the HP software.  Once the uninstall is complete, it would be wise to perform a cleanup of the computer disk. A disk cleanup will improve the performance of the computer and remove the temporary files that may cause problems during the installation of the software. Once disk cleanup you must restart the computer and reinstall the HP software.
  
  To uninstall the HP software, click here: uninstall the HP software
  
  To perform a disk cleanup, click here: perform a disk cleanup
  
  To download the HP software, click here: HP Officejet full feature and driver software

  If please, after back and let me know how it goes!

• Cannot install windows XP it said hard drives are not connected & windows can not find the hard drives

  I got an asus computer notebook windows vista, upgrade from vista to windows 7, now I'm not able to do a clean install of windows xp, when I try to install XP, it says that hard drives are not connected & windows cannot find not the hard drives, so once again installed windows 7, is there a way to overcome this problem Why do I get the message windows xp does not detect hard drives? I even formatted the hard drive & tried to install Xp, but still, I get the same message.

  The answers will be appreciated...

  Thank you

  Because the Windows XP installation CD does not have the necessary disk controller drivers.  You will need a floppy drive to provide the drivers of controller for the installation program, or you will need to burn a CD of Windows XP with the controller drivers slipstreamed into the installation.  A CD of Windows XP with SP2 included may have the necessary drivers.

• External hard drive USB, not received a drive letter in Vista 64-Bit

  I do not use my BeyondMicro 160 G external hard drive a lot just to make occasional backups, well this time was different.  I have powered the drive, plugged the USB cable into my PC and normal tone was heard, but NO drive letter is assigned to the drive.  In fact I couldn't find anywhere in my computer that the unit was even detected.  I Visa Ultimate 64-bit, I tried to uninstall the drivers in the Device Manager and rebooted and still no external drive, any suggestions?

  Konala Hello,

  Thank you for your response.

  If the external hard drive not detected below are some steps to solve the problem:
   
  You can check if the device is compatible with Windows Vista by visiting the Windows Vista Compatibility Center, which includes a list of drivers, hardware and applications that are compatible with Windows Vista.
   
  For reference, the link to the Windows Vista Compatibility Center is included below:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/
   
  Then, if the external hard drive is not detected in Device Manager, please check if the external drive is detected in the management of the computer:
   
  You can check this by going to: start then click on computer
  When it is connected and switched on, the drive should appear as a drive letter on the computer (ie: drive E:, F: or another letter.) An Autorun window may also appear if the drive is detected.
   
  If the external drive does not appear, please check the following:

  · Check the power supply and check if it works normally.
  · Check the wiring and check that the USB cable is plugged into a port. You can also try another USB port.
  · Check disk management to see if the drive is detected it:
   
  1. right click on computer, select manage, select disk management.
  2. check the upper and lower windows to find if the drive is detected.
   
  If the external hard drive is not detected, try to connect the external drive to another PC to check if the unit is working normally.
   
  Then please check if Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is installed currently.  If WVSP1 is not installed, you can try to install this service pack and check if the problem still persists.

  Here are a few articles with possible solutions and its fix for the hard drive problems.  Maybe at least will help any problems you encounter.  I could have provided more targeted recommendations if you had provided more information about what the problem is exactly, when he started, the manufacturer, make and model of drive, how the player does not work - is that it recognized by the system, it appears in Windows Explorerr, the door opens when you press the button...  If the following text does not, provide this and more information about the problem and your configuration maybe we can provide additional assistance.
