• EA4500 - unstable connection to my external hard drive from Seagate Freeagent

  Hello

  I would be very grateful if someone can help solve the problem captioned.

  I bought the EA4500 for a week and all is well, except that the connection to my external hard drive 1 TB via the USB port of the EA4500 is not stable.

  The router are visible at the level of the 'network' of Windows 7, as one of the "Computer".   I therefore use my memeo autobackup software to back up my data via a network connection on the external hard drive.

  It works very well, however, for a limited time.  The time is a few hours.

  After that happens, the device can no longer be seen at the level of the "network".  In addition, it cannot be mapped via the service 'road map' normal.  A "Not enough resources" error when I want to map the drive.

  The problem can be solved temporarily after a "roboot" of the router.  But it's frustrating.

  Can someone help me solve this problem?

  Thanks in advance.

  What is the ip address of your router buffalo? 192.168.11.1?

  Check and see if you are double natting.

  Try changing the scope and dhcp IP linksys range identical to the buffalo.

• New computer that is running Windows 7 does not recognize my external hard drive completely

  I bought a new PC with windows 7.  I use an external hard drive with USB to move the files from the old PC (XP) to the new PC.

  When I go on my devices, the external hard drive appears.  When I look at the details on this HD and pushes to execution, windows States there are no problem.

  The clues of what I need to do so that I can look at the files on my external hard drive?

  Thank you

  Hi Andre,

  I've struggled for some time with this one, here's how I finally solved it.  Apparently, USB drivers for mass storage devices was not compatible with my external hard drive.  I simply uninstalled the USB drivers for mass storage devices, then plugged my hard drive.  Automatically downloading appropriate drivers, and I was good to go.

  Just thought you might want to know that.

• Move the Windows Media Player files to another external hard drive

  The hard disk that contains the files from my Windows Media Player 10 is dying.  I need to move the data to a new hard drive that I bought, but have not yet connected to my PC.  Old and new external hard drives are plug-and-play.

  I have a lot of additional information to the library and want to be sure that I don't lose in the process.  However, I have not found anything in the documentation that tells me how to move my database from one hard disk to another.  Can anyone help?

  If music files are in MP3 or WMA format, so most of the information is also stored in the files themselves, so that these information will be retained when the files are moved. There are a few fields that are not stored in the files, such as play account, custom fields and possibly star ratings. In order to preserve these fields during the movement of the library, you can use the backup of the metadata tool.

• Windows 7 and problems with my external hard drives

  I have 2 Lacie (Big Disk Extreme) 1 TB external hard drive attached to my desktop system.

  When I press the Start button and go to devices and printers, the "yellow icons exclamation point warning" are located next to each external hard drive icon.

  Right click on each hard drive icon and going to solve problems, I learned that for each hard drive drivers are missing.

  When I let Windows 7 try 'Apply this difficulty', it is failed every time.  It is said that it cannot search the drivers of these drives.

  Go directly to the site Lacie, there are no drivers to download for these external hard drives (which are around 18 months of age).

  What gives?  How can I get Windows 7 to stop warning me of these external hard drives?  I don't remember having to download all the drivers for these external hard drives when I was with Windows Vista.

  Help!

  Try this...  I found a solution now using Partition Wizard Home Edition 4.2, - its free, then open it to find readers and by assigning a different letter on the external drive - Bingo... applying the changes the disk with the icon is displayed in the pane of the computer and I am able to open the drive!

• Windows 7 does not detect multiple external hard drives

  I recently bought a HP Pavilion laptop to 7 Home Premium. I have two 500 GB external hard drives. When I connect them individually to the system, they are recognized and I can copy files to and from these External Drives. But when I try to connect both at the same time, Windows 7 does not detect the drive I connect then. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  If the disks are powered by the USB bus and do not have their own external power supply the problem is that the laptop does not provide sufficient USB power to control both.

  The USB specification, is that each port should provide 500mA at 5V. To keep their batteries, laptops usually provide 500mA to share between all available ports. If you need to use several USB devices with significant power, you must either externally powered USB hub or to provide the devices with their own power supply to cutting.
