Just took delivery of a Cube247 base unit with Vista Ultimate64-bit installed. I have a freecom 500gb 3.5" External Hard Drive that after plugging it in isn't being recognised.I thought this was a Plug & Play thing but do I need to be looking for some applicable drivers. this as I am quite keen to be backing up to my Freecom as soon as.
View 4 RepliesMy external drive just crashed and I use it solely for backup of my systems. Since I haven't had much luck with the reliability of external drives, I welcome suggestions for a drive that holds approximately 500GB. The one I have now is 466GB capacity.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI know this problem is has alot of words to read but please read it. Yesterday my 500gb capacity drive (i have used up 15gb space) worked fully which I named BX2BXsq The next time I got to use my drive, lots of folders were deleted. I restarted my computer and accessed my drive and this error came up E: is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. My hard drive makes a funny clicking sound. I took my hard drive off and then on using another usb port and now it was called Local Disk. I took my hard drive off and then tried putting it into a mac (Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger) and the mac said that the drive was unreadable. Now when putting my hard drive in my Windows XP computer, and a speech bubble came up saying that my hardware was not recognised. I know for a fact that my hard drive still has precious valuable data. So have you got any ideas to recover data from my hard drive.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm going to get a new desktop with XP installed. I have a copy here of Vista Home Premium and I'd like to set up a dual boot. From reviewing everything I can find online, I think I can handle that. Eventually, I expect I'll migrate over to Vista most of the time. When I partition to install Vista, I understand I'll be creating a new drive letter. Any recommendations on relative partition sizes on a 500GB hard drive? But ... something I've not been able to locate is whether, once I install Vista and then install Office 2007, presumably under Vista, whether I'll be able to access Outlook, Excel, etc. from either OS - will I be able to open my Outlook 2007 if I boot into XP? Will one version of my browser run from either OS?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have 2 powered USB 2 hubs connected to my vista PC - neither are recognised - i.e. if i plug my printer/mp4 player/camera etc into the hubs my Pc does not realise they're there. There are 2 ports on the front of the PC and 3 at the back - it makes no difference where I plug the hubs in, they are not recognised.
If i plug my printer/mp4 player/camera etc directly into 1 of the USB ports on the PC they are recognised.
i have Vista home premium and its been running fine until i try to use USB devices..it chooses when to recognise them.. i have a 250gb external hard drive that when i plug it into any of the 3 USB ports on my computer nothing happens (no noise to say its connected , no autoplay or the drive name doesnt appear in the computer section) there have been occasions where the device connects as i hear the little sound that is heard when you connect a device but nothing appears so i cant physically access the device. this also happens when i plug in my internet..i plug the ethernet cable and the USB cable from the modem to the laptop (which i have done many times before and have had no problems) and nothing happens i cant get ointo the internet. the only way that i can sometimes connect (incuding this time!) is if i restart the computer. i have done this when trying to connect any of my devices and there is about 1 in 3 chance it connects.
ive gone into the device manager in window and clicked on all of the ports which say they are working fine. but have also plugged the devices into other computers and have no problems. is there any way of scanning the USBports or does anyone know how i can fix this and connect my devices without having to restart time and time again?
I installed vista 64bit today on a sata harive in my new computer. Now in my old computer i had a 300gb IDE hardrive and i installed this in the new system and it is recognised in vista but says i cant use it before i format it...However i cant do this becasue i have so much data on it...Is there anyway to view it without formatting it?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have just bought a Sata/Ide to usb converter, but when I plug my harddrive into the usb port of any computer (vista or xp) it beeps and installs the Drivers and even adds the little safely remove hardware icon down in the system tray. but I can't find the hardrive in my computer or in administrative tools. I have tried an IDE hardrive,a 2.5 inch sata hardrive and a cdrom drive, why is it not working. The Adapter is Brand New, I have only just opened it.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI made the mistake of plugging my Wacom pen tablet in before installing the driver. Vista recognised the device and installed a default driver which does not work. The Driver installation disk will not install untill the default driver is uninstalled. How do i do this?
