View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using a SAMSUNG NP-S3510-A03 laptop. The problems I have had with this laptop are unreal, I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy itAnyway, my current problem is that the laptop will not read my external HD that it was previsouly reading fine before.I recently got a whole bunch of important files on the external HD to transfer to the laptop. While it was transferring the files, the transfer window crashed. I ended the task and went to try again but the external HD would no longer show up in My Computer. I tried restarting, no joy. I then tried plugging the external HD into all 3 USB ports, still no joy.It won't even show up in Disk Management.
When I plug the external HD in, the light comes on so seems to be working fine. But I get no noise in Windows to say the device has been connected, no autorun, nothing.I really need the files that are on it ASAP and cannot get the files from the original source anymore. I have not tried it on anyone elses PC/laptop yet and won't be able to for some time.
after trying everything to get my old computer to work I eventually gave up and dusted off my wallet and bought a new one, I bought a new Lenova i3, with win7 64bt, my old computer was win7 32bt, all my important files were on the old hdd so I removed that and put it into an external case, but when I plugged it into the new comp it says drive not formatted do you want to format, which I obviously dont, I then tried my other external hdds and they are all the same, I know there are recovery programs that will recover the data, but I am reluctant to use these as there are a lot of home movies of my family on these drives and everytime I have used a recovery program before, the recovered video files will no longer play is there a way around this
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a usb 3.0 enclosure from silverstone model ts07b and a new 2 tb drive from seagate model ST2000DM001; the usb 3.0 card is from syba model SD-PEX20093. The problem I am having is that when I plug the enclosure into the usb 3.0 slot with the seagate hdd the computer does not recognize it, but when I plug in another 2tb drive from WD (caviar green wd20ears) the computer recognizes it. I know the seagate is not dead because when I plug the enclosure into a usb 2.0 slot the computer recognizes it. Now I need to know what I should replace, should I get a new enclosure or pci card?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I attach any USB storage devices to my laptop (eg memory sticks, 1TB Seagate standalone drive, internal drive mounted in external usb chassis) I get a Code 32 error in the properties panel saying the drivers are disabled. All the devices show the following drivers:
c:WindowsSystem32DRIVERSApsx64.sys
c:WindowsSystem32DRIVERSdisk.sys
c:WindowsSystem32DRIVERSDzHDD64.sys
c:WindowsSystem32DRIVERSpartmgr.sys
c:WindowsSystem32DRIVERSsnapman.sys
These all look like pretty standard drivers. A possible item of interest is that I have been pretty aggressive about turning services to manual or disabled at boot to get my computer to run faster. Which driver is disabled and how do I enable it or otherwise fix this?
My Windows 7 Toshiba laptop no longer provides popups when I plug in an external device via my available USB ports, ie: my external HDD for backups, my camera memory stick to upload my photo's etc.. when I plug in I get the audio noise which confirms something has been plugged in but I no longer get a pop up to invite me to take appropriate action like start a backup or upload my photo's. This process worked fine until a few weeks ago now nothing?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Toshiba Satellite L655-1EM laptop running windows 7 home premium 64bit.OEM came pre-installed. I've had the laptop about 6 months.It works great but I seem to get the BSOD quite a lot. I noticed it only seems to happens when I'm using either of my external hard drives or SD cards. Usually when I am transferring a batch of large files between drives.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSuch as a mouse, a mobile, or an external drive.I mean make them visible (in My Computer) even though they're not connected so it's easier to remember what devices I use. My memory is awful, don't ask.Obviously I know I wouldn't be able to access the files unless the devices were connected, but the point is to make their icons show up as if they were connected even though they won't actually be of any use.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've just bought a new computer and put it all together, installed drivers etc but no sound is working.If I go to Control PanelHardware and Sound it says "no audio devices are installed".However, if I go to Device Manager, under "Sound, video and games controllers" there are 4 instances of "NVIDIA High Definition Audio"Now I guess thie Nvidia drivers might work through the HDMI connection on the GPU, but my soiund setup is with the old audio jacks that plug in to the back of the motherboard.I tried uninstalling the nvidia audio drivers in device manager but when I rebooted they just installed themselves automatically!

Name resolution for the name dns.msftncsi.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
The client was unable to validate the following as active DNS server(s) that can service this client. The server(s) may be temporarily unavailable, or may be incorrectly configured. 68.94.156.1
And I went back through older logs of when the same thing would happen, and those two were the ones that popped up the most. However, this also popped up from time to time:
Name resolution for the name www.microsoft.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
Name resolution for the name www.australian-charts.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
Now, I know my way around a computer, but this internet talk is pure "gibberish" to me, for lack of a better word.
Additional information: The connection to my router is wired, not wireless. My PS3 and my laptop can stay connected/have never dropped a connection, while my desktop does it enough that it's beginning to bother me.
When streaming Netflix, my computer is registering as a new device each time I play a movie. The Device ID is different when I check on all my registered devices (the only device that uses my account is my one computer). I have not changed any settings, reinstalled Windows, or made any drastic changes in the system. I do not use a router and am using Cox Communications as my ISP.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am currently running Windows XP 32-bit with 3GB of RAM installed 2x 1GB + 2x 512MB.
I am thinking of buying another 2x 1GB sticks of RAM to bring my total RAM up to 4GB. As Windows XP only recognizes 3-3.5GB of RAM will Windows 7 32-bit recognize and utilize the full 4GB? So basically is it worth getting an extra 1GB of RAM for Windows 7?
I have been unable to connect to anything on my wired network, for about the last week. I don't remember making any changes however, I just became unable to connect.I having done a little troubleshooting.1. I can connect to the shares of my Windows Home Server if I use the IP address. The name does not resolve.2. Flushed DNS and restarting DNS server. Flushing DNS works on one client, to allow browsing by the name & restarting DNS works on the other. However neither works after a restart.3. Only my Wifi clients are experiencing this issue. My wired clients, desktops, PS3, Xbox 360, and Boxee can connect perfectly.This issue is not limited to my server. I can't connect to shares on my desktop, nor print to my wired printer.Some network background:I have DSL through CenturyLink and have a Linksys E2000 router.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been running Windows 7 on my pc for 3 months with great satisfaction (I upgraded/clean installed from Vista). However, tonight my pc wouldn't recognise any USB hardware (some of which I can only assume are internal, as my keyboard and mouse are PS2). Having looked online for possible fixes, it seems that running an upgrade from my installation disk would resolve the matter.My pc is stuck on the 'Starting Windows' page and won't proceed any further. I have rebooted - but although the bios page and boot setup page can have the cursor moved by the arrow keys, hitting the 'enter' key then freezes those pages. I have tried to select 'Windows 7' as the operating system rather than 'Starting Windows' but this also freezes the pc.I now have what seems to be a rather large paper weight with a fan inside it on my desk...can anyone offer a solution around this issue?
