I have Windows 7 64 bits in a DELL Laptop Latitude E4300 working fine (more or less). I just plugged into it a USB HD from iomega with 500 GB capacity. I can see this disk without problems in all my XP (32 bits) based systems. But not on Windows 7. When I try to open it I get the error message:
Cannot access F:
The archive is damaged or inaccessible
I know the disk is fine. I have in this very same computer vmware installed with Ubuntu 64 bits where I can mount the HD and see it without problem (?) but not in the host Windows 7 system. I saw a driver installation message the first time I plugged into the laptop on Windows 7 but clearly, this was incorrect.
Should I uninstall the driver and get it from somewhere else other than the default place (which did not seem to work well)?
Im trying to partition the drive but I cant make the C drive less than 500gb. I followed this guide How to Resize Disk Partition in Windows 7. How do i make it smaller. I wanted to make C for Windows 7 and extra, but not half the hard drive.
I have a WD 500GB HDD plugged into my PC via USB, the drive was brand new and had a 90GB partition and a 410GB partition on it, I formatted the larger partition with Partition Wizard and now in disk management the drive only shows as 90GB, there is no unallocated space where the partition was before. I've run 5 different partition recovery tools (Partition Wizard, Acronis True Image WD, Easus Partition Recovery, Partition Table doctor, Active Partition Recovery) but none of them can see anything more than 90GB, what's happened to the rest of it and how can I recover it?
I recently bought an HP Elite Book and I decided to pick up an OCZ Vertex 3 for the computer (120GB SSD). I normally use Norton Ghost for a lot of things I do so I decided to use Ghost to Image the OEM HDD that came with the laptop too the SSD. I went in used the command prompt screen to use the switch -ntexact so it would work, did Disk -> Disk image and ran the process. Now when the unit boots with the SSD in it, it's getting hung up on the starting Windows 7 Screen.
I have a Hitachi 2TB Hard drive with about 1.2 TB worth of data (it was my data drive for my SSD). I've recently had to temporarily move motherboards (from a Z77 Motherboard to a Dell Foxconn from 2007). However, I can't use my SSD on the Foxconn (G33M) so I made a 500GB partition to use for WIn7 until I get my mobo back. However, I can't install because Windows keeps saying I can't install on a GPT partition. Before I would just change the mboo into EFI/UEFI mode to fix it, but my 2007 board doesn't support it.
I have a problem I hope someone can help with. I have an Iomega Prestige 1Tb USB HDD which is working fine. I have however just insstalled Windows 7 RC on an old PC to try it out. The installation went fine and I connected the USB HDD and copied over a number of files to help further set it up to meet my requirements with no problem.
I then installed drivers for my Speedtouch 330 USB Modem and now the USB HDD is not working. I have tried uninstalling the Modem Driver and uninstalling the USB HD Driver and then reconnecting but with no success. I continue to get a Windows 7 error message. The USB HDD is still working perfectly on my XP laptop.
I hope someone can suggest a solution before I try a complete Windows 7 reinstall?
I have a spare sata 500gb hdd.Thinking of getting a caddy to hold this drive so that I can make use of it,On the other hand I have seen desktop docking station for a hdd. Just want to know which one would be the best to get. A Caddy or the docking station?
I was playing Mass Effect earlier. Got off because of school, so i put it to sleep. When i returned home, I tried getting on steam. The path wasn't found, so I didn't think anything of it. Rebooted. Still no path, so i go to my slave HDD, and surprise! It wasn't there for some reason. I've looked for it in disk management; no where to be found. Ran seatools, no luck. I had around 300 GiGs on there.I also turned off the laptop, took out the battery, and both master and slave drives for an hour. NOTHING.
EDIT: when i check disk management, it seems there is a drive of some sort on there, but it has no name.. It's blank. Nothing but *Status* has any information: "Healthy (OEM partition)." When i try to right click, the menu only has a "Help" tab.
I just purchased the wd mybook 500gb studio e stata and using it with windows 7. When i try to access the drive it say's. "please insert a disk into removable drive"
I currently have Windows Home Premium 64-bit and seems to be working quite well.However, when I tried to connect my Iomega eGo external HDD to *every single USB port I have on the computer* the computer would "see" the HDD but not register as a HDD that I can access.It will not show up in My Computer at all. The HDD has music files on it from a different computer, so it's not empty.When I go to look at the USB connections, it shows up as a USB Mass Storage device, but again, I cannot actually get INTO my HDD.As a side note, when I look at computer management, my external HDD shows up as Disk1. Perhaps I need to allocate a letter to it? How can I do that without erasing the data stored on it already?
Network storage drive that had loads of stuff on died, though we backups on a another networks drive and finally managed to get it onto a new Iomega drive.
However, the software for getting to the drive is basically a gloryfied web page. It can find the drive fine, and the folders, but cannot connect to the folders. It says "A problem occurred when trying to connect to the folder "Public"".
Tried running as admin, did nothing, then tried compatibility mode which it didn't run at all in. IE doesn't help either. However, XP can run it just fine, and can find the drives fine. But 7 can't!
I have a 500 GB Western Digital Hard Drive, I can't access one of its partitions, it says access denied, and I have the ownership and all security stuff is marked for my account and system. Still can't access it, while I can when I boot from my other hard drive which have windows XP.
My Computer indicates only 35Gb free on my drive, and dropping daily. WinDirStat shows 400Gb of 'unknown' files which I'm unable to delete (option greyed out). I have used various drive cleaners, done a chkdsk & a full system virus scan to no avail.
Need a WDC RE3 SATA Driver for a DC7100 and a Windows 7 ICH6R Controller Compatibility Issue
I'm trying to install a Western Digital RE3 500GB SATA Drive on to the System but the Latest Version 2.15A of the 786C1 Bios is listing the drive at 0.0 MB and Windows 7 doesn't see the drive at all. I'm trying to install Windows 7.
The WDC Site recommends that I contact my motherboard manufacturer, so I'm following their recommendation and posting my request for a DC7100 SATA Driver for a WDC RE3 Drive here.
I've been to the Intel site and there doesn't seem like there is a proper Windows 7 Update for the ICH6R Controller since the Intel® 82801 FB/FR I/O controller has been discontinued.
I want to download the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager Floppy Configuration Utility dated 7/2009 from the Intel site, but I need confirmation from HP Support that this utility will work with a DC7100 with he Latest Version 2.15A of the 786C1 Bios for a Win 7 install.
I have an Iomega portable hard drive, which is compatible with windows 7, however, when running the Iomega Encryption Utility using the reconfiguration option to set a password for the hard drive, it told me you must format this drive before use, anyways, my windows 7 doesnt recognise it anywhere! yet before the encryption ran it did! in disk management it only shows my C drive, the Iomega showed up in my computer as a G drive but it doesnt now. Its like the computer cant see the hard drive! I read about formatting the disk but it wont give me that option when the device is plugged in.
My Iomega Home Storage NAS is suddenly not accessable. It is formatted in Linux (I believe). Can I in any way connect it via USB as an external HDD and save my files? My computer has Windows 7 64b. If I try to connect the drive via USB, I cannot see it in "My computer" but it is present in Diskmanager.
I am thinking about getting an 'iomega (#34836) 1TB eGo USB 2.0 External Hard Drive to replace a much smaller one from a different manufacturer. However, I have read a few reviews where some folks running Windows 7 had some problems getting it to recognize the iomega eGo External Drive. this External Drive while using Windows 7 ... either 'pro or con'?
the iomega_HDD(F use to be reconized and it was droped and now it is not reconized. the ubs connection is good i tried on another divice and it was reconized. The light on the imogea_HDD(F is on when plugged in but it makes a ticking sound and it is not reconized?
My Iomega external drive stopped working. One minute it was fine and the next I could not see it anymore. Tried two different laptops and neither sees it.
I am trying to fix a iOmega harddrive for a friend and the issue that he has is that the iOmega is not being recognized by his computer. The device has power, the disk is spinning and the led is on and stays constant, no flashing or anything. I have tried to see if the device was in Device Manager but it is not. The device is not being recognized by Windows 7 at all. No beeping noises when I plug it in or anything. I have tried multiple USB ports as well as other computers. The device just isn't being recognized.
