• Maxtor One Touch Plus 4 500 GB external hard drive no longer works.

  Okay, so, I got this hd for about a year now. Never had any problems with it, and I also have a 1 TB WD external hd. The WD it still works perfectly. However, the Maxtor suddenly stop working on me on 30/06/10 while I was using it. I have music files and art for the work I do on a Web site stored on that hard drive. I got my music running and had opened the hd on my Toshiba laptop to work on things that I have towards people. My music has stopped playing its own and the hd show me the files in that my images and things were, but when I clicked on the file, there is no files inside. So, I turned off my computer and unplugged the two hds from the computer for an hour. Their return to and turned back on the laptop connected. I can still enter the WD hd, but the Maxtor one, I can't. Any time, I try to enter it, it tells me I need to format it before so I can use it. I KNOW I have not formatted and kept Microsoft Security Essentials and Spybot S & D up-to-date. I went to the Seagate/Maxtor website and did all the troubleshooting it. I also switched usb ports (my laptop has 4 of them), the cords between my works still WD and Maxtor usb and even tried to uninstall drivers and reinstall them. All my work is stored on this hard drive Maxtor and I really would rather not lose him if I can help it. I also tried to Exchange power between external hds two cords. The WD we still works perfectly then the Maxtor always told me, I need to format it. It appears on workstation as drive Local (e) instead of the name, that he was initially awarded. I know I have to not format or delete anything out of it when he started to do this for me. I hope I can recover the data so that I don't have to just start over and make people wait longer for what I owe them. (Graphics types of work on GaiaOnline a few different "shops" on the Web site.) I also hooked the hd up to a desktop computer to see if it was a problem with my computer, but even on a different computer, it still says I need to format. I am running Windows Vista, the desktop computer is running XP. Hd has also worked on the desktop before it stopped working on my laptop.

  Am running SeaTools to see if that will find and fix everything that could cause this problem.

• Toshiba stor.e 1 TB HARD drive no longer works

  Hi all

  I have a new Toshiba stor.e 1 TB HARD drive and was transfer photos and music to it and all was fine, I ejected it but when I plugged it back I get the message:

  F: is not accessible
  Data error (cyclic recovery control)

  A quick search and it says that run cmd and chkdsk but that simply says:

  The type of the file system is RAW
  CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives

  Please can someone help?

  Thank you

  According to the article in the Microsoft Knowledge base, the data error (cyclic redundancy check) - indicates that the operating system has found a car with bad sectors or some other intermittent problem.

  In my opinion, you should go to disk management and check if the external HARD disk is listed:

  -> Panel-> administration-> computer management tools--> disk management

  If his list, you can change the file RAW to NTFS format
  Then you can perform a chkdsk command.

  But you lose the data, change the file format.

  As far as I know, using the command: + convert DriveLetter: /fs:ntfs + (drive letter + should be replaced with the drive letter of the USB HDD) should not lead to data loss

• 500 GB external HARD drive no longer works

  someone please help.

  About 3 months ago I bought a hard drive of PC world 500GBexternal (not sure of the model number, this is money, with external power supply, USB cable A B, very bright blue light on the front, about 60 pounds). I used it regularly both with my PS3 and my Toshiba Vista laptop.

  Suddenly it has stopped working. The blue light is on, and noise workout like its spinning but when I plug my devices nothing don't recognize. I tried with the laptop, PS3 and IMAC. Blue light beeps when you plug it into the USB port but that's all. The device don't can't see it!

  I tried a new USB cable, but it made no difference

  Please help me. I've got the years worth of photos, music and movies out there that I can't lose!

  Thank you
  Simon

  Hi Simon,.

  You have only stored the data on that HARD disk? Normally all files must be stored on a second disc, otherwise it s not a backup! ;)

  Anyway, you can see the external drive in Windows disk management?
  The external HARD drive is always turn vertically?

  At the moment it sounds like it's HARD drive is defective and must be replaced :(

• External USB floppy drive no longer works

  I have a model #: p6710f computer from HP running Windows 7 desktop.

  I myself bought an external Bytecc USB Portable diskette (Floppy) disk. Although it did not work initially, it began to work a week later after some updates on my computer running. The work of at least a year since then diskette drive.

  Now the last month, the floppy drive does not show in the list where you can find the C drive or the D drive. You can hear the floppy drive respond when it is first plugged in, but it does not show on the screen which you access.

  Is there anyone who is able to understand why the floppy USB drive won't work with my computer? What should I do to solve the problem?

  Thank you for your response. Uninstalling the driver, restart the computer, and then reinstall the process... I had already tried this a few days ago. Although the computer recognizes drive as new hardware and load the driver, I was not yet able to access the disk. But here's the strange thing...

  My office is where I got this problem. Yesterday, I connect the floppy drive for my laptop for the first time. The laptop recognized as new hardware and load the driver. I was able to use the floppy drive on the laptop. Out of curiosity, I disconnect the floppy (USB connection) of the laptop drive and reconnect to the desktop computer. The Office has recognized as new hardware and load the driver. I am now able to use the floppy drive on the desktop. Weird that it is... my question to get the floppy drive on the Office to work is now resolved.

• WD external hard drive no longer works! Requires formatting?

  Help! my external hard drive has suddenly stopped working and windows requires that I have format it before so I can use it again. But the bad news is that I have a lot of important data that I just can't lose so I need to know if there is anyway, any program that can help me out stuff before formatting because I don't want to lose it!

  It's a WD Elements 1 TB, and it is only about 7 months since I bought it. I think maybe some virus or something that I don't know the damn because before it empty I did some updates to my laptop and used HD once then on the second plug it has failed?
  Any solution?
  Thank you very much

• Satellite A40: HARD drive no longer works

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A40 with a 40 GB hard drive that was supplied as standard.
  I have had absolutely no problems with it since buying it... so far.

  On September 19 I left my laptop (do nothing) for a while I had to rush. I went back to the 'blue screen of death' that says I had a hardware failure and Windows were closed. It was late, so I turned off the laptop and he left until the morning.

  The next morning I start the laptop. It makes a noise of terrible rattle than he ever has before. It loaded windows extremely slowly, me connected and then crashed to blue screen.

  When I heard the noise, I thought it was the turbine that is blocked will cause the laptop overheating and stopping. Then I checked the fan for obstruction and dust and then cleaned the dust out of the heatsink at the back. I turned on the laptop and the sound came back.

  After listening to the noise more closely, I heard that he was not coming right in front of him - the hard drive fan, but the compartment. So when I started the computer I got the Toshiba POST screen and then it would not start. I booted from the recovery CD to reformat the HD, but whenever he tries to read the HD to start re-formatting it crashes. And now, whenever I turn it on I get the message "insert system disk".

  I had this problem before with another computer and everything just re-installed windows, but I have never had such a strong and terrible HD noise. I'll try to reinstall windows later today, but wanted to know if anyone else has had a similar problem and if it would be wise to replace the HD altogether. Preferabbly I want to reinstall Windows and recover files lost which unfortuently have not been saved, I typed only their place the same day.

  Any comments or ideas would be very useful.
  Thank you.

  Hello

  For me, the matter is very clear. According to the description of you, it sounds like a HARD disk head crash. The noise is coming from the inside of the HARD drive.
  In addition, the message "Insert system disk" appears because the BIOS can not find the HARD drive or operating system.

  Well, unfortunately, in my opinion it is not big thing to do. I don't think that replace drive HARD will solve this problem and allows you to reuse the laptop.

  Good luck

• my external hard drive no longer works

  I have a Toshiba external hard drive (320 GB) and the FAT32 format. It was working fine but all of a sudden it was not as hard drive Toshiba but Local disk: F and it says I need to format it. What should I do? I want to backup my files :(

  There is probably nothing you can do.  Hard drives break down.  Actually, let me rephrase: all the hard disks fail.  It's just a matter of time. That is why the only safe way to keep your data is back it upward.

  If you do not have a backup, you will need to contact a data recovery service and see if they can restore the data.  However, these services are not guaranteed and very expensive (hundreds of thousands of dollars).

• WD external HARD drive no longer works with Win7 since the upgrade to Win10

  My laptop has Windows 7 installed and my external worked fine. My new laptop had win 8.1 pre-installed so I have connected my drive and worked fine but when I plugged in my Win 7 machine he was working more.

  I upgraded my new machine to win 10 to see if that would solve the problem, the drive connected but then I could not remove so I stopped the machine and deleted but I can't always connect to a Win 7 machine.  Everyone knows this?

  Hey there Leeaf72,

  I'm sorry to hear about the issue. What is the model and the capacity of the drive? Have you tried the drive on other systems or possibly with other USB cables?
  I would check if the drive is recognized in the BIOS, Device Manager or disk management. Here's how for the last two:
  Device Manager: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=cXczh0
  Disk management: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=xFP3QI

  I would also see if you have all the latest OS and driver updates. Try to reinstall the USB drivers. You can also try out them completely and let the update tool to install.

  If the drive is recognized I download and run WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic and see if the car passes the quick and extensive tests. Here's a link: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=a6nz3g

  Post back with some progress,

• Vista does not allow access to my Toshiba USB hard drive

  Hello!

  My Toshiba external hard drive that worked perfectly well in XP does not work on my visit Home Premium. The error message says something about. INI files.

  I've seen previous discussions about this problem by suggesting to download the right drivers for Vista under the following address

  Can someone please help me find the right drivers? Thank you very much!

  Hello

  I have no idea of (external)? HARD drive drive do you have average but if the HARD drive does not work under Vista OS, then that means that the driver/software is not compatible with Vista OS.

  A part of software for external hard drives, you'll find the European Toshiba driver page:

  Maybe you should check this again!

• Connect to airport extreme USB hard drive

  I have a drive external hard Iomega LDHD-UP that I want to connect to my Airport Extreme (running the 7.6.4)... version but I can't seem to do.)

  Currently, the airport is set up as a bridge to my Verizon Fios router.  It all works very well.

  The instructions from Apple don't seem to help me, because I do not have "Airport disk utility" - only "Airport utility" - and I'm hit a roadblock there.
  (Airport: how to mount a volume of Airport Extreme USB hard drive in Mac OS X and Windows - Apple Support)

  Normally, I can understand something like this, I thought I would ask for help rather than making circles for another hour.

  Any advice?  Thank you.

  OK, so I read all the info in this article,where to get the Airport disk utility >

  ... and I now know that 'The airport disk utility' is no longer (and does not have the article I cited above), but I'm not even see my drive hard when it is connected to the Airport Extreme.

• AC2400 (E8350) router cannot map USB hard drive in Windows network.

  Hi all

  I recently bought the Linksys AC2400 wireless router and a USB 3 Western Digital Elements 2 TB hard drive.

  The network works perfectly, except for the USB hard drive. The firmware on the router recognizes it okay, but in the windows network, I can't access your hard drive. I simply get a path not found error.

  I tried:

  Y access inside or outside Windows Homegroup.

  -Re - formatting in the linksys configuration (Fat32... There is room for improvement)

  -Test the USB drive directly into the PC, works perfectly and formatted in NTFS.

  -Turn off all firewalls.

  -Tried the port USB2/Esata instead of the USB3

  Also, from another computer on the network, I get the same error.

  Pre-installed on the hard drive was a mediaserver program called Twonky. He wants autoconnet to my router using port 9000, but the web interface I get then does nothing. Also when I enable the mediaserver configuration linksys website, he created a mediaserver in windows network, wth pilots twonk. But I can't change that.

  When I test the ftp server, I had access to the hard drive without any problem. This suggests that it is not a compatibility problem.

  I could also map the Windows ftp server, but that does not work on my mediaplayer, I need for this network interface.

  Does anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong and why windows is unable to connect to your hard drive?

  I didn't install the new version of firmware, because the changelog mentions nothing about the functions of the USB or storage.

  I've added a few photos with the settings, it could be useful.

  THX in advance for any response.

  (b) has detected before HARD drive in my computer screen? If so, did you do changes on the computer before this problem?

  (c) that you get an unrecognized USB device notification error message?

  The unit is probably go up at the same point one of the partitions and thus becoming "invisible". In

  2. In the list of the categories of equipment, locate and expand Bus USB controllers.
  3. Right-click every device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
  4. Restart the computer and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.

• External USB hard drives lose its connection and work stoppages. __

  External USB hard drives lose its connection and work stoppages.

  History

   
  Windows 7 Ultimate - 64-bit
  I installed it on a HP Pavilion, OS, 64-bit, and I have this problem.
  People report that it does not occur with Windows 7 32 bit OS.

  Problem:
  Any brand of external hard drive USB (and other USB devices sometimes) lose its connection and stops working only when copying large files internal drive to external USB drives.
  The USB device may appear to work properly when Windows first starts, but later stops working (crashes computer) after the start of large files to copy. You must restart Windows for the USB is working again.
  This only occurs when you copy files large files to THE USB port, not on the internal drive. It happened when I synicing my IPhone with Itunes when it started the synchronization of music files.

  According to the suggestions I have:
  1) updated the BIOS from the websites of the manufacturers.
  (2) power management disabled on the USB hub for disks
  (3) ensure that the BIOS for Legacy USB is set to.  I don't have this option in the BIOS settings.
  (4) this is not a motherboard problem, it is located on three different MB that we use.
  Also tried three different USB drives and different cables.

  Because I tested with two different computers updated and USB drives, our opinion is that this problem indicates that the Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

  Someone knows a solution?
