Why the used computer recognize my HD and cant I format it?

Hello

Trouble with my 1 TB HD. I wanted as it is formatted in NTFS, FAT32 to be used on a PS3.

I tried everything to format, finally a friend suggested a basic program, I think called Format of MISTLETOE, of http://. So I converted to FAT32 format, and it worked, for now.

Until today it no longer seems to work. When plugged in, the light comes on, but it is not recognized in my computer, tried on 2 different computers.

Googled my heart to find a way to re - format, but all the software I receive, can't see the HD. I entered in the management of the computer and use disk management. The HD appears in disk management, but an error message appears saying "the drive cannot find the sector requested.

The HD appears as disc 1, unknown, 3.86 GB (well below the 1 TB), initialized and unallocated.

Now, I read about a right-click and select "New Simple Volume", this option is grayed out and inaccessible. Have also read about creating new Partitions, but I seem to be unable to do.

As it is probably obvious, Im not all that technical when it comes to computers, and my knowledge in this area is quite limited, so any help would be greatly appreciated to help resolve this situation.
Im not concerned about data loss. I just want to be able to reformat the drive, preferably in FAT32, NTFS will do, as long as his work.

See you soon

If the drive is detected in disk delet all the partitions

Remember, there is a limit of size of partition, with the tools of integrated victory, for fat32

Create a 32 GB partion and than to format in fat32, create another partition and format it for ntfs

(You will lose anything on this disk)

    Why my list of e-mail, text and phone iphone 6 freezes after upgrade ios10?  Have you tried to turn it back on.  Becomes a real pain in the uknowwhat.

    I had the same problem at first but I was testing the first version of ios 10.  but the reason may be due to the low storage? If your storage space is ok please go to settings then general try to look for the software update again just to make sure that you use the latest version of ios usually there a few times an update immediately. If none of these solve the problem, try now button the power button and the home button at the same time (the screen of your iphone turns off a few seconds) touches both simultaneously when you see the apple logo on your screen if all else fails you can try connecting your device to itunes on a pc and run a quick diagnostic test? you go to itunes on a pc if you have already installed on your pc, laptop etc... Look at the upper left side... Click the help... Go to the bottom of the list to "Start the diagnosis" (make sure that all the test boxes have a tick and click ok to run the test) PLEASE NOTE your iphone you will need to be connected to the computer before hand... hope this will help you know if there is a problem, but when I came across this problem with my camera it was because my storage was almost full on my device and in icloud if This is the case then you need to maybe buy more storage or delete applications or games, you do not use this should help solve the problem of storage (if your device is low on storage)? hope this helps somehow.

    I suggest you to check if temporarily uninstall the antivirus software on the computer Windows XP allows you to connect properly.

    But don't forget to install the software after troubleshooting is done such that your computer will be at risk.

    Method 2:
    You can also check the settings of firewall on the windows XP computer. You can check if the ports are opened correctly for the network to connect. See the help link - below
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/283673

    Method 3:
    If the problem persists, you can even perform the clean boot on the Windows XP computer and check if you can identify the application that is causing problems in the clean boot state. To perform the clean boot follow step 1, mentioned in the article, below, and then try again checking in this state of boot -

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    If the issue is resolved check what non-Microsoft service or program is at the origin of the problem. referring to article and following the other steps.
    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  • How to use Ready Boost, and what are the requirements for the use of portable hard drives and flash drives for use with Ready Boost?

    I have Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate Edition and try to get Ready Boost to work on my PC using portable hard drives or flash drives. I have 2 portable hard drives (iomega 120gig, Seagate 250gig) and a 8gig sandisk cruzer flash drive. All this deterioration when you try to use the ready boost said that these discs only are not compatible or not supported. So what do I need?

    Not all readers will work with ReadyBoost. There are some readers who actually will specify that they are capable of ReadyBoost.

    By WikiPedia:

    • The device should have an access time of 1ms or less.
    • The device must be capable of 2.5 MB/s for 4 KB random read speeds indicates the spread uniformly across the entire device and 1.75 MB/s write for 512 speed random writes spread uniformly across the device.

    You must also put the device and let it plugged in for ReadyBoost. ReadyBoost is therefore best suited for a small thumbdrive (up to 4 GB) that greater thumbdrive or external HD that you would probably be disconnect from time to time.

    Open solutions Explorer window, find your Cruzer - right-click on it and click Properties. If there is a ReadyBoost tab, you can set up - set it to dedicate this device to ReadyBoost. It will be implemented and save a file on the USB key. Click Apply and're you good to go.

    A caveat which I can testify first-hand. Apparently while booting, Win 7 has trouble with some USB key - it will search the thumbdrive, the operating system, the process of starting to stall and you say: ' Missing Operating System ' - Fortunately the solution is very easy. Shut down the computer, remove the USB key, restart the computer and it will start normally. I had this happen with a 8 GB Cruzer. This seems to be a random thing, because I had the Cruzer plugged in and booted several times without encountering the error of missing operating system message. No idea why or why it is injury. Currently, I use a Kodak USB 2 gig key that seems to work very well.

  • I bought windows 8 pro discs, then my computer is dead, I can install it on the new computer of windows 8 and how do I do this?

    Also, what is the difference between the pro version and the Windows 8.1 update? I'm not a pro like you old guys, simple answers would be really appreciated, thanks.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft community!

    1. Yes, you can re - install Windows 8 on a different computer.  Before you re-install in another computer, please make sure that you remove Windows 8 to the computer that you have already installed software license terms Microsoft lets a copy must be installed on one computer only.
      To remove Windows 8 of the current computer, you must perform a clean installation of Windows 8. Install with previous operating system drive (Windows 7\ Vista\XP). This removes Windows 8 in the current computer and install the previous operating system.
      Note: You may lose all your data when you perform a new installation, so please back up all data before installing the previous operating system.
      Once you have removed Windows 8 from the current computer, download Windows 8 in the new computer and install. When installing, please provide the same license key that you used during your first installation of Windows 8. You can also find this key in the purchase confirmation email that you received.
    2. As your second question, Windows 8.1 will be a free update for users of Windows 8. Which means, you must have a version of Windows 8 in order to install Windows 8.1. Windows 8.1 brings updates for the Windows 8 Pro(or any other Windows 8 version). See the following links to learn more about Windows 8.1:

  • (E) adobe Illustrator 9.0 on the old computer that's broken and...

    I need to install and join the new computer program, but Adobe says it is already registered. I could have used another account or something, but you can identify who I am looking at my e-mail address. Help! [email protected]

    You only need to register your software once when you install the original (if you choose to save it at all, which is a good idea)

    Your license allows you to have installed and enabled on both machines.  If you have already done this then you may have to contact the Support from Adobe via chat and ask them to reset your activations so that you can install and activate on the new machine.  If it's only the second time you've installed and activated the software, you only need to provide your serial number to make it work.

  • Why the firefox rendering engine go berzerk and display garbage?

    As I scroll or I go to a new page, more at any time, the display in the window of Firefox becomes badly displayed. It is pehaps diagonally across the window or perhaps a sub display field appears distorted diagonally. I could send a screenshot. It happened a bit when you use Thunderbird, which I understand has the same rendering engine but not lately. If I close Firefox and start it again, it might behave for a while. He quickly began having problems again. Right now, as I type this, this pane for entering text flashes on and outside, and it has now begun to go diagonal to its display. At the same time, I continue to type text. Is it possible to send some screenshots? As I type this and then to the bottom of the page, try to copy and past the information requested below in case of problem, I had a lot of trouble with the screen turning autour. Finally, I noticed the link to copy all to the Clipboard to paste below. I can't tell you if he did because I can't get the window below to display correctly.

    Instead of boot mode safe, you can try to turn off the use hardware acceleration where possible of Tools (Alt + T) > Options > Advanced > general and restart Firefox normally.

    You can also take a screenshot using the PrtSc / SysRq key on the keyboard. This takes a picture of the whole desktop, copy the memory/Clipboard and you can paste it in any graphics program, save it and download it. To take a just active window press Alt and the key above together.

  • Windows does not start after the use of CD "" Toshiba Recovery and Applications/drivers ".

    Well my Toshiba Satellite A205-S5814 laptop was very slow and I was getting very frustrated with it, so I decided pop in the CD "Toshiba Applications/Drvers" perhaps to restore my laptop to factory settings and run perfect once again.

    As I was doing this operation and tried fixing it, the thing finished and off the laptop. And when I turned it back on, Windows will now start and give me the Windows Boot Manager screen. My laptop had Vista on it and I even tried to install Windows XP Home Edition on it with a disk I had. But whenever he's going to do, he says he can find t any hard drive? But for sure, there is a hard drive!

    I do not understand what has happened and why this Toshiba drive ruined my laptop. Before I used this drive my laptop has always works and works OK, it has been slow but still booted Vista and stuff ran. Can someone please help me or tell me what to do, I think that Toshiba has messed up my laptop with disc here, and I don't think that we should have to pay so he can get fixed.
    Please help me.

    Hello!

    I don t think that the Toshiba Recovery disk ruined your laptop.

    If I am right on the recovery disk is Vista and it was installed before. I think the installation going something wrong.
    When you get the Windows Boot Manager you can fix your computer? You can reinstall Vista without the recovery disk when you choose this option, then Toshiba product recovery.

    When you install Windows XP, you need a SATA driver. If you don t use one, you will get this error which can t find hard drives.
    You can download it on the Toshiba site and after booting from the XP CD, you must press F6 to load drivers from a floppy external drive or use you nLite to create a disc with drivers.

    Good bye
