• When put external hard drive or a usb ports on the old computer, windows xp flash drive cannot operate. Just try to take off the important information from this computer to put in another.

  Get the yellow signal, and even if the device seems to work, Assistant ask me to install a disk into drive G.

  It could happen because of the USB 1.1 of your old motherboard version. But your compatible USB 2.0 device & back USB 1.0 compatible with reduced performance mode. So, if the devices work, then just ignore the message.

  Also make sure your Win XP has at least service pack 2 installed.

  To find your version of Win XP:

  Start > run > type "winver" (only the text within the quotation)

  Reading the dialog box for the Windows version, subversion of copyright, Service pack etc.

  Before Windows XP SP2, the OS had no compatibility issue for the USB 2.0 device.

  Hopefully this will solve your problem.

  If you need any link of Service pack of windows so feel free to ask us. You can upgrade your old XP to SP3 last free cost simply by downloading a 500 MB file.

• Where and how can I reinstall the external hard drive to the new HD to the computer?

  Original title: HD crashed.

  I want to thank the person who answered my question about the HD crashed I saved all my data and window xp. My next question is, how and where can I reinstall external hard drive for the new HD to the computer? Should I send it to drive c or where? I'm not strong when it comes to computers. I know just enough to get me in trouble. Thank you.

  Hello!

  You will need to use a full copy of Windows XP.  Should be a sticker with the product key on the side of your desk or below if it is a laptop.

  Once you have this drive, you can reinstall Windows XP.  After you have installed all the software and drivers, you will be able to transfer all your data to the new HARD drive.

  If you don't have a copy of Windows XP, you can probably get a copy of the recovery from the manufacturing of computer media.  Just to provide the model and serial number and they should sent it.

• Bought the new computer windows 10, itunes has changed location of support for external hard drive. The music does not appear in itunes.

  BOUGHT NEW COMPUTER WINDOWS 10, CHANGED ITUNES MEDIA LOCATION FOR EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. THE MUSIC DOES NOT APPEAR ON ITUNES.

  Changing the iTunes media folder location setting affects only where new additions to your library will be stored.  To use a disk external drive to store your library complete (and assuming that you have access to the original data of the library on an old computer) you must copy the iTunes folder, by default in C:\Users\username\Music, on the external drive - structure library and its records should be like this:

  

  The hold button SHIFT DOWN when you start iTunes and when you see this message:

  

  Click choose a library... then find and select the iTunes Library.itl in iTunes on your external drive folder.

  For more information, see user turingtest2 on make a library of portable split.  You must also acquire a 2nd external drive and allows create and maintain a backup your library.

• I just plugged my camera and uploaded new photos for my Creative Memories Photo Manager. Now when I go to the Safely Remove Hardware my camera does not show... only my external hard drive.

  Thank you

  Creative Memories Photo Manager probably ejected your camera after you import the images. Check the default settings and change them if you prefer something different.

  If your camera is not displayed as ejection, it is safe to remove it. Damage to the file system wouldn't be possible, but not certain, if he had written active file or buffer not released when the device has been deleted.

• Windows 7 and bios sees not the hard drive, but when I connect the hard drive to the USB with an adapter, I see directories and files

  Please, I need pc

  Original title: windows 7 and bios does not see the hard drive. but when I connect the hard drive to the USB with an adapter, I see directories and files... Ive a hp Pavilion, what to do?

  Check the BIOS for hard drive setting.

  Make sure that you do not connect the drive to a SATA/RAID port.

  Old IDE drives - check the jumper on the drive (use "Cable Select" as a starting point), the BIOS must also be set in legacy/compatibility/IDE mode. Note: If you currently use the AHCI mode, then switch to IDE mode may cause Windows to boot.

• How to export pictures from a sd card to lightroom and and external hard drive at the same time

  Hello

  Is it possible that I can export my photos from my lightroom cameras sd card and an external hard drive at the same time so I have pictures original/master in both places

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Robert!

  Looks like you want to make a backup during import. If this is the case, you can designate a different location for a second copy when importing.

  

  1. Check the mark a second copy of box in the management of the files Panel and choose your external drive in the menu drop-down
  2. Then you set regular destination of Lightroom in the Destination panel.

  However, if you mean that you want in the foreground images in Lightroom, but have them physically located on an external drive, then all you need to do is choose this drive in the Destination panel. Lightroom Catalog can be on a different drive.

  I find it useful, however, to use the automatic backup in file management Panel in case.

• found new hardware wizard appears and unknown device device Watch Manager

  Since a few days ago, the Add New Hardware Wizard keeps popping up. I looked in Device Manager and found an unknown device (yellow exclamation mark) should I delete the device? I don't know what to do to identify which device is unknown.

  If you remove it, then he'll probably be back the next time that you start.

  go to start / all programs/windows update (at the top of the list of the menu), custom search, watch your optional hardware updates and search for a driver that you have not already installed, you can get lucky. Otherwise post the details of your specifications and ask again.

  Furthermore, it can take a while to get the pages updated and you may need to install active x on the way, a line will appear at the bottom of the fixed part of your browser screen (the same as when you download) If this is the case, click on it and install active x, then a box should appear and tell you allow I think.

• During the installation of a wireless mouse, the 'New Hardware Wizard' appears unnecessarily!

  During the installation of a wireless mouse, the "New Hardware Wizard" pops up, and more than a half a dozen times looking for the pilot.  I installed the driver from the disk provided by the manufacturer.  Actually, the mouse works correctly and doesn't have another driver not found.  Someone has suggestions for the "new hardware found" stop?

  This external hard drive works on other systems?

  The drive will appear in the top of the disk management window?  If so, look at the column layout, Type, file system and status.  The "file system" must be FAT or NTFS.  From your description, it appears that Windows does not recognize the partition as being to the format in a way that he can use.  You may need to delete the existing partition (attention: this will remove all files that may exist on the disk), and then create a new partition in FAT32 or NTFS format.  Advice to do this, right-click the disk, choose 'Help', then go to:
  -> How To disk management...-> manage the volumes of base-> Delete, Create, or Format.
