Windows recognizes but cannot install the disk usb 2.0 external hard

I ran completely out of disk space and was given a 500 GB external hard drive... made by WD... a passport to be exact. He has been recognized for a long time with the wizard and then announced that he has no idea of what is material, nor has an idea on how to install it and to return the element where bought... I did... brought a new one and exactly the same thing... people say it's because of the usb port not fast enough... I feel there is another way around this as other elements usb 2.0 have no problem... any help is appreciated more graciously!
I use a Dell Dimension 3000, 1 G of Ram, HDD 160G OS XP Home Edition SP3.

Thank you
Angel

  • I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive

    I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive because the drop-down list in the Disk Management Console does not give me this option. I'm logged in as an administrator and running Windows XP.  The driver for the new hardware is not digitally signed because I can't initialize the disk.  So I can't get my new hardware to run.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the option "Initialize disk" in the Disk Management Console?

    for the past 6 months that I had to use a return to the top of the boot disk to get windows to load so I could copy all my important files and documents on DVDs as my windows xp edition home sp3 OS suddenly stopped wanting to load normally and I'd just reformat the HD

    Hi storm36,

    You must have the Windows XP disk to repair Windows. As the CD/DVD drive is not getting detected, we recommend you try the following steps and check the result.

    Step 1: Check if the device is detected in the BIOS (basic input/output device)
    a. start your computer and press on delete key continuously to see the BIOS.
    b. check if the CD/DVD device is detected.
    c. If this isn't the case, then unplug the unit and he reconnected inside the CPU/Tower.
    d. check the result.

    Step 2: If the device is detected in the BIOS, try the following steps:
    a. start your computer and boot to the desktop.
    b. Click Start, click Run, type devmgmt.msc, and then click ok.
    c. select my computer, click the Action menu and click scan for hardware changes.
    d. check if the CD/DVD device is listed in the list.

    Step 3: If the problem persists, restore the computer
    see How to restore Windows XP to a previous state .
    b. Once you have restored the computer, check if the CD/DVD drive is visible.

  • Help. I could not find activation key for MS7 so bought the new version, but cannot install the new version as system thinks old version it

    How to uninstall and reinstall, or fix this problem.  I hope I didn't just buy new software I can't use :)  Thank you.

    Is identical to the old version new version, which means, are of the same edition?

    For example, is a copy of Windows 7 installed on Windows 7 Home Premium machine in addition to the new copy you purchased?

    Because, if they are, simply update the product key:

    Click Start, right click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click on the link 'change product key '.

    Enter the product key

    Click next to activate via the Internet.

    If they are not the same, then you will need to do a custom installation, with the following exception.

    If the new edition is greater than the current edition installed, then you can use the product key and upgrade to the new copy you purchased.

    It should be higher if Starter > Home Basic > Home Premium > Professional > ultimate.

    http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/26/Windows-7-anytime-upgrade-%E2%80%93-unlocking-more-benefits/

    If it turns out to be something else, then you must use the new copy and do a custom installation:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    To learn how to change your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, the following tutorial:

    http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.
