"You have to format the disk in the drive...". »

Hello

I had some problems with Vista is not able to read hard drive when I try to open my Buffalo external hard drive or my camera, I get the following message: "you must format the disk in drive x until you can use it." Vista reads both in RAW format, but I am absolutely certain that they are not - all of the two has worked very well until a few days ago, and both work perfectly on both XP and OS X. If anyone knows how to solve this problem, I would appreciate it a lot. Thank you

Hello jaetejou2,

Thank you for your response back!

I suggest you to visit the link provided below to the support of Buffalo with your external hard drive.  I don't know your specific model, but there is a search.

However, he advised that it was working a couple of days, when you have submitted.  You did it changes on your operating system before this problem?  I suggest to try a system restore to a point in time where everything worked.  Please let us know status.  Thank you!

The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. The System Restore tool uses points of restore to return the system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time where you have not experienced the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  • "You have to format the drive" error after the use of USMT through an Esata cable

    My company migrate to Win 7. We use the USMT to capture state powered hard drives Lacie user, putting on our image of Windows 7, then restore the capture user. However, the other day I was in a laptop computer with an Esata port, so I used it on the usb port. Then when I tried to boot from the disk and mount the image, he said "No BONES on the disc" so I went back in windows was watching the drive to make sure it still worked and, all the user data was their. Then I put on the side, fell on the image from another drive (wipe and load method) but when I went to restore from the first disc "you must format the disk to use" you will see. and it appears on each computer in the plug in.

    This happened also another technology that happened to try Esata instead of USB. This is a nightmare that could cost me my job if I don't get figured out. I am running facilitated us data recovery Assistant, who finds some 9 500 files on the disk, but it will take 22 hours to complete. And I think that he has a simple solution, I don't see. I think that the Esata some how made specific to this laptop drive at the time.

    Any suggestions or responses are greatly apperciated.

  • How can I download a recordable CD that has already a few files on it without the software you want to format the drive first!

    I was able to do this on my XP desktop but it crashed and now I use my 64 bit Vista laptop.  There must be a way that I don't see.

    Sorry, but your reply ignores the problem that is the threat to format the disk and erase the existing content if you download a file on this disk. Finally, I discovered that the solution was disguised by the ambiguity of the software.  If you choose "mastered" it of no problem even if the explanation of 'controlled' looks that would destroy the capacity of the disk to receive or delete files "under control" and future - only formats the drive before you download a file on it! Equal stupidity on my part and the author of the software.

  • Why my button submit JavaScript break after you have enabled for the drive?

    I created a form with a submit button that uses the following script to dynamically generate an object and the user cc in the submission email.  The form and the button work fine in Acrobat Pro XI, but after that I address the reader (other Save As > Reader Extended PDF > activate tools more) the Send button did nothing.  I am able to fill in the fields and save a copy, but the submit button loses all the features.

    var cToAddr = "[email protected]";
    var cCCAddr = this.getField("RegistrantEmail").value;
    var cSubLine = "Registration for event in " + this.getField("EventCityState").value + " on " + this.getField("EventDate").value + " - " + this.getField("FullName").value;

    Drive all you can do is either send an email with the entire PDF file

    (with mailDoc), or a simple e-mail where you can use a script to place the

    form data in the body of the email, by using the app.launchURL command, but

    the size of this e-mail is limited.

    Alternatively, you can submit form data to another format using submitForm.

    Hi Sunny,

    To better understand the issue, let me know what happens when you try to format the drive? You get the error message?

    This problem could occur if the files are hidden.

    Try the steps listed here and see if it helps:

    Method 1:
    We will check if there are all the hidden files in the player. To verify that the same as follows:

    a. open the drive that has the problem.

    b. click on the view tab.

    c. check "items Hidden."

    Check now if all the files or folders are appearing in the player.

    Method 2:
    If the problem persists, I suggest you to check if there are all the files in the drive through command prompt.

    a. press Windows Key + r

    b. type cmd and press enter.

    c. in the open prompt window, type the following commands one by one and press enter after each command.

    : (e.g. d :)

    dir

    d. This will show all the directories or folders in the drive.

    e. check for all the folders inside the car.

    Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with an up-to-date report of the issue so that we can help you further.

  • You must format the drive until you can use it!

    Hello.. can someone help me please...

    I have Windows vista... I have an extra external HARD drive... Every time there is an upgrade of vista I can't access my external hard drive, I click Open, he said: "you need to format the disk in E: drive before you can use it, you want to format?"

    Ok.. It's something to do with permissions I have solved this a coupke times before fixing it then setting a restore point, unfortunately my restore point will not do after an another upgrade of vista/update...

    How to reset the permissions so that I can access all my music, images, and documents stored on my external hard drive and... What can I do to stop future updates change my settings and stop my access to my external hard drive?

    Thanks in advance, ian.

    Gringy,
    Here is an article with detailed steps to take to solve the problem of permissions permanently.  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/949608 this involves advanced enough procedures so if this isn't something you feel comfortable with that you get assistance to do this process.

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

    Thank you

  • I installed Camera Raw on photoshop 11 9.1.1. When I try to open a file of a DMC-FZ200 Panisonic RW2, it tells me it doesn't have this format. the specification say it does. ???

    I installed Camera Raw on photoshop 11 9.1.1. When I try to open a file of a DMC-FZ200 Panisonic RW2, it tells me it doesn't have this format. the specification say it does. ???

    Photoshop CS4? = version 11 or 11 elements of Photoshop?

    Camera Raw 9.1.1 is only compatible with Photoshop CS6 and Cloud versions. It is not at all compatible with Photoshop Elements.

    Therefore, it is unlikely that you have installed Camera Raw 9.1.1.

    That said, the Panasonic DMC-FZ200 has been supported since Camera Raw 7.4.

    Devices supported by Camera Raw

    If you have Photoshop elements 11 - which ships with Camera Raw 7.1 - check what version of Camera Raw is actually installed. Help > updates

    If I understand correctly, you want to display a different set of data in a DataGrid control for each selected item in a list?

    I would just use link:

    
    
    

    This assumes that this list is filled with the data elements in a format similar to this:

    {

    label: "Label 1 list."

    data:]

    {col1: "col1", col2: "col2"},

    {col1: "col1", col2: "col2"},

    {col1: "col1", col2: "col2"}

    ]

    }

  • Why did you have to change the layout of Firefox?

    I would like to know why you've gone and changed the provision in the Firefox?

    I'm still on Fx 3.6.18 because frankly 5.0.1 is horrible.

    Why did you have to change everything and make a difference. Why couldn't you have given us the same layout as 3.6.18 but with these new updates.

    I will never download Fx5. 3.6 was perfect.

    Also how can I contact Fx without upgrading?

    Firefox 3.6.19 is available here.

  • Action menu is empty; "You have not installed the extensions.

    Like many others, share my Menu is empty after the upgrade to El Capitan. By running the recommended command here has no effect. In the system preferences panel, the only options on the left are all and share Menu. Share menu 'not allowed' in gray below. Everything indicates "you have not installed the extensions.

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    Step 1

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is localized to your user account.

    Select the feedback connections* and log in as a guest. Do not use the Safari connection only 'user comments' created by 'find my Mac '.

    While signed in as a guest, you will have access to your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you use them for the first time. Do not be alarmed by this behavior; It's normal. If you need any password or other personal information in order to complete the test, save, print, or write them before you start.

    Test while signed in as a guest. Same problem?

    After testing, log on to the guest account and in your own account, disable it if you wish. The files that you created in the guest account will be automatically deleted when you log out of it.

    * Note: If you have enabled 'find my Mac' or FileVault, then you cannot activate the guest account. The login 'User comments' created by 'Find my Mac' is not the same. Create a new account to test and delete it, including his home folder, after testing.

    Step 2

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is caused by changes in the system of third party that load automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Please take this step regardless of the results of step 1.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Download worksheet of others generates you have not signed the Applications required database error

    Greetings,

    We use the 7.2.12.04.25 32-bit version of ADI on a machine IBM P750 running AIX 5.3.  The correct application of the Oracle is version 11.5.10 on a 10G database.  We have two users who are unable to download each other spreadsheets, but are able to upload their own.  Another user is able to download the worksheets created by both users who cannot download all other worksheets.  ADI settings seem to be the same, and users choose the same responsibility.  Database properties appear to be the same as well inside spreadsheets.  One option would be to copy the contents of the worksheet to the other person in one they have created, and then load it but this process is too cumbersome to entertain.  Has anyone met and solved this problem?  The mistake they see is "you have not signed the required Applications database.
