Won't boot up with external hard drive attached

Pavillion HPE h8-1360t, AMI 7.15 Bios, Windows 7 Home Premium x64 bit, consistently fails to boot with external USB hard drive attached (WD 500GB MyBook) attached.  Have tried disabling the device in BIOS, htting f10 to apply the change and then selecting "save changes and exit", but after shutdown/powerup the BIOS returns to the old setting.  Read the posting that states a BIOS upgrade will solve the problem but Support web page shows no BIOS update available.  Any suggestions greatly appreciated. 

2Suntech,
Open up command prompt and run the following command SFC /scannow.
This will scan the system files and correct any errors that it can.
Here is a link to command prompt.
When you go to open command prompt, right click and run as administrator.
If it has not been to long since the problem started, you can run a system restore.
This will take the system back to when everything was working correctly without affecting your personal files.
Here is a link on how to do a restore.
Let me know how everything goes.

  • Mac won't boot up if external hard drive is on

    I just purchased an external hard drive to use for my Time Machine backups. The "installation" instructions said that with the computer off, to power up the e.h.d., then power up the computer. Well, the computer is evidently trying to boot up from the e.h.d. - the white screen/apple logo sits there for 5 minutes, then it restarts but cycles through the same thing over & over. Called Apple Care & we simply turned the e.h.d. off and booted up just fine. Then turned the e.h.d. back on & my first Time Machine backup went fine.
    Shut down for the night. Turned the computer on this a.m. (external drive still on) and the same rigamarole - no successful start - happened again.
    My question: should I just turn the external hard drive off when I turn the computer off (I use it only for Time Machine backups) or should I stress & sweat over finding a solution or, last resort, return it?

    I would contact the manufacturer of the hard drive for a firmware update.
    It is strange that this drive in particular should have a problem, as it was one of the ones demoed at the Stevenote, and shown on the Time Machine initial advertising. If a firmware update doesn't solve the problem, return the drive, and get a better rated drive that is known to be compatible with your version of the operating system.

  • ITunes won't sync correctly with external hard drive

    I have long kept my music on an external hard drive and had absolutely no problems with adding files to my iTunes library. Whenever I added songs to iTunes, they would automatically be copied over to my external device (a Seagate Freeagent 1TB USB External Hard Drive) everything would be fine. I could erase the song data remaining on my notebook without any problems.
    But, after recently upgrading to Windows 7, I'm having some trouble keeping everything organized. I did a clean install so I had to reinstall iTunes, and upon doing so I specified for it to access my library from my external device like before. It does that just fine, but when I add songs to iTunes, they don't copy over to the hard drive, and when I consolidate the files, all of my songs get copied onto my notebook hard drive.
    Is there a fix to this? Something I skipped when telling iTunes where to get/keep my music? I want to be able to add songs to the library and have them copy directly to my external device.

    Hmmmm. By any chance, do you have 4 GB of RAM and an NVIDIA USB EHCI chipset on the Fujitsu? If so, perhaps see the following Microsoft document:

  • Why wont my macbook pro boot with external hard drives connected?

    After two years of uninterrupted success running my MBP with five external hard drives attached (two USB, two eSATA with LaCie Expresscard 34, one FireWire 800), my MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.2 installed will not boot with the drives attached. Starting up with the option key depressed does not work. Anyone have insight? This didn't happen until I upgraded to 10.8.2, so is there a bug fix needed in that update?

    Update, I reset the PRAM (i think) and now the chime is back as I start up... small win but thats all it does.
    So I decided to dload a copy of Lion and burn to a disc, then try and boot from there. When i boot holding option and select the dvd it sounds like something is happening, contstant turning or reading of the disk, but nothing is happening on screen, just my old friend the apple logo and his mate the spinning wheel. Starting to concede now, just hoping to get my data back, its mostly photos and some files i cant duplicate.
    I am going to purchase Mountain lion on my current apple ID using a friends macbook and try and reinstall from there. Although i never had Mountain Lion installed in the first place (just lion) there isnt an option to buy lion on the app store (i dont think)  This is prob my last spin of the dice i think before handing it in, unless anyone on here has some ideas....

  • Help, need help booting XP from external hard drive

    Hi all, i can't seem to get XP to boot from my external hard drive.
    OK, heres the story. i have an imac. i use bootcamp to run OSX and XP. things are good. but i run out of space, so i buy myself a 2tb bare drive and swap it out. so i put the original internal with OSX and XP into an external firewire/usb enclosure. I install refit. I hold option on startup and it shows that i have a windows and a mac OS i can boot from the External firewire disk. looks great, but when i choose the windows from the Ext disk, it doesn't boot, instead it loads windows7 on my new 2tb internal disk.
    i hear its hard to boot windows XP from an external disk. my professor told me it has something to do with the boot.ini file on the XP disk... something about changing the value of the "rdisk" to 1, which i have done.
    i am not trying to reinstall xp, rather just boot from it because i have so many applications/plugins that i do not wish to reinstall.
    Does anyone know if this is possible?>> Logon to windows7, and create a system image/backup of the system FROM the XP external disk? and then reinstall XP on that disk, then restore back onto itself? that way i won't have to reinstall.
    anyone have any ideas?

    Hi boi,
    you can't start ANY windows OS from external HD...

  • Issues with External Hard Drives

    I hope this is the right forum for this one - please give me a steer if not! I've also posted it in 'Dock and Finder', but this forum seems equally appropriate, if not more so.
    I'm getting repeated issues with External Hard Drives, including ones that I have been using successfully for months/years, suddenly failing to mount and then becoming 'unknown device' through the firewire branch of 'About This Mac'.
    I've just bought a new hard drive on the grounds that the others had somehow failed, and the same problems are emerging. I decided to Repair Permissions on my iMac's internal drive, and am copying the results below, from repair runs conducted yesterday and today:

    Permissions repair complete
    My concerns are:
    * Some of the permissions repaired yesterday appear to have needed to be repaired again today
    * There are several files which carry a warning that they won't be repaired as they have been 'modified', and some of these clearly relate to disk management.
    Does anyone have any ideas what is going on???
    Thanks!!

    Many problems with the 10.5.7 update have been fixed by a Restart.
    If that doesn't help, something may have gone wrong with the update. Download and install the "combo" update, from: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_7_ComboUpdate
    If that doesn't help, try running the Apple Hardware Test, on the disc that came with your computer.
    1. Disconnect all external devices (including the Ethernet cable) except the keyboard and mouse.
    2. Insert the "Additional Software & Apple Hardware Test" disc that came with your computer.
    3. Restart while holding down the "C" key. When the list of available startup volumes appears, click Apple Hardware Test and the right arrow.
    4. When the Apple Hardware Test main screen comes up (after a moment), follow the on screen instructions.
    5. If it detects a problem, an error code will be displayed. Make a note of it.

  • Blue screen on start up with external Hard drive connected

    On start up Imac freezes on light blue screen with external hard drive connected via firewire. Starts okay without hard drive connected. I have repaired the drive with no resolution of the problem.

    You might try starting the iMac in "verbose mode" by holding down command-V when booting:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492
    That could show you some messages that might explain the problem.
    Another approach is to launch the Console utility and look for messages dated around the time of a hang.

    I have a tesco router and an external hard drive attached to it as a network drive (shared) for my macbook and MB-Air. Have no problems with my MB accessing it, but with MB-AIR it says -  'the version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. pls contact your system administrator to resolve the problem'. MB-Air uses maverick downloaded yesterday - upgrade from mountain lion. MB uses snow leopard still, as i am quite used to it and am thinking of upgrade if mavericks work fine on air. Also have parallel on snow leopard but it is no longer supported according to mac website - if i upgrade am i going to lose my parallel and will have to buy a new one!!!

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

  • How do I boot Leopard from external hard drive?

    I'm currently staring off into space... my 3 month old MBP seems to have finished its painfully long boot and all that appears the Leopard background. The local Mac guru isn't available until Monday but did tell me I need to boot from my external hard drive. Um, how do I boot from external hard drive?
    The cause of the problem: inserting flash drive powering up.
    Tried safe boot. Only difference was iCal reminder popped up in space.
    Mac guru told me do NOT use install disks!
    Help!

    Apple support has told me that you cannot boot a MBP from an external drive when Leopard is installed on a MBP.
    That is just plain wrong.
    1) Hook up your external drive. Use FireWire for better performance.
    2) Launch Disk Utility and highlight the actual drive icon at the left. Click on the Partition tab.
    3) In the Partition section, click on the Options button. Click on the radio button for "GUID Partition Map". This is the option you must use in order for a drive to be bootable on an Intel based Mac. Click OK.
    4) Set up your partitions however you want and click the Partition button at the lower right.
    From here, you can either clone your internal drive to the external, or install Leopard on it from scratch.

  • My Macbook air flash had gone for a month and I saw Apple's Macbook air flash storage drive replacement program. I'm not sure whether that program is still available for the broken device or not. Now, I'm booting from the external hard drive. Thank you.

    My Macbook air flash had gone for a month and I saw Apple's Macbook air flash storage drive replacement program. I'm not sure whether that program is still available for the broken device or not. Now, I'm booting from the external hard drive. Warranty has gone in October 2013..
    I want to send back my macbook air back to apple store. The problem is that I bought it from US and now, I'm using it in Myanmar. If the program is free of charge for my device, it's worth trying to send back to US. Since mine is broken, I'm afraid Apple will take charges for reparing.
    So, if anyone having the same problem as me, I would like to get suggestion....
    Thank you!!

    I have no idea about how to handle the international aspect of your question.
    But here is the Apple writeup about the problem and the remedy.  Maybe that will help you.

  • My computer shows the grey screen that says i need to restart when i tray and boot from an external hard drive

    It shows the grey screen that i need to restart when i try to boot from an external hard drive. both drives have snow leopard

  • A205-S5000 won't boot. Says possible hard drive problem

    Laptop won't boot and says possible hard drive problem. Need to recover
    personal reports and data, so thinking of removing the drive and using an enclosure
    so the data, if still good, can be extracted from the drive by another computer. Question
    is, will I be able to create the restore cd's from the hard drive if the hard drive is not the
    boot drive ie; attached to a 2nd computer via usb and enclosure. 
    If it's not possible, I can try to create cd's from a different model laptop (toshiba), same vista os but
    what about the product key?  I will try to reinstall the bad drive and try a reboot to recovery mode but
    I doubt that is going to work or complete. Idea was to get a new drive and try to install recovery disks.

    Satellite A205-S5000
    Recovery discs must be from an identical model. If you can't burn them from that computer, best to order them
       Order Toshiba Recovery Media 
    The restored Windows is pre-activated.

  • Format for external hard drive attached to Time Capsule

    What format should I used for an external hard drive attached to my Time Capsule that will allow both my Mac and PCs to read and write to it?

    It should be HFS+.. it may work with fat32 but that is a lousy format.
    The actual format of the drive is irrelevant to the PC.. the TC offers SMB connection.. so it is a true file sharing device.. the format used to store the files cannot be directly read by windows but is "interpreted, translated" via the firmware of the TC.
    BTW this is true of all network storage.. A NAS can store files in whatever format its OS requires.. freebsd like freenas might use XFS.. or linux use EXT2 or REISFS.. it makes no difference as long as it offers that store to the windows (and apple) network as SMB.. then windows can handle it.

  • Can time capsule back up an external hard drive attached to my imac and the iMac internal Harddrive

    Can time capsule back up an external hard drive attached to my imac and the iMac internal Harddrive

    In addition to Kappy's comments, the external drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in order for Time Machine to be able to back it up.
