Can we connect a external 1tb hard disk to a hp omni 10

can you help me with this

I'm pretty new here, so let me ask you just one basic question. in connecting the drive via a usb connection, are you using a powered usb hub?  Since the Omni 10 is a tablet, it does NOT provide power to its usb port as a desktop would nornally do.  I'm thinking the this full fledged version of windows 8.1 should be able to see your drive if connected correctly using a powered usb hub,
Regards,

  • Connection failed when trying to connect to external Lacie hard disk

    I have an external Lacie hard disk which sits under and is connected to my Airport Extreme base station. I access that volume by using the 'Connect to Server' option in the finder, and I can see the Lacie drive when I get to the stage where I click to 'browse' and then click the Network icon.
    However, today instead of connecting as usual (after asking for password authorisation, etc.) I now get a temporary window message saying:
    "Looking up, "x1-6........local..." I guess the IP address?
    After 3 minutes I then get the following error message:
    CONNECTION FAILED
    The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again.
    Yesterday I had a problem with my MacPro while trying to access info on the Lacie volume and with no response from the MacPro to shut down, I had to hold the start button down to get it to shut down. I then turned the Airport Express and Lacie disk off at the main plug powerpoint (I forgot to dismount the Lacie volume from another Mac running!). Hoping this would reset everything, but now this problem has happened!
    Any help or advice on this would be much appreciated as I hold some key financial and business info on the Lacie volume and I can't access it now!!!
    Thanks

    Hi Rick
    That's worked!
    I did reboot Airport Extreme initially (had to switch off power to AEBS and Lacie disk as looks like there is no power switch on the AEBS?...and tried, but same problem. But then tried this again and all now works as before.
    Thanks for your advice and the direct connection tip, which I was considering doing anyway if the conventional route didn't work.
    Phew!

  • Trouble connecting to external USB hard disk through PC

    I've had AirPort Extreme 802.11n for a few months which I use to connect to a printer and to share a USB hard disk between my eMac and my thinkpad. For a while everything was working beautifully. The disk showed up on my eMac desktop and in my Windows XP file explorer. Then recently the USB disk stopped connecting at all to either computer even after trying the old remedy of connecting directly to my Mac, dismounting it, and reconnecting. Then today a bunch of updates for the AirPort Utility became available and after updating to 5.3.1 on my eMac the disk shows up on my eMac again. But on my PC here's the situation: the disk appears in the AirPort Utility for Windows (5.3.1) but I can't find it in Windows file explorer. I tried the alternative ways of connecting shown here:

    but no dice.

    Uhmmmmmm, you meant to say the Macbook Air DOES have (2)  USB PORTS 
    GENEDI, yes, you can connect a 2.5" USB external HD to your Mac AIR, ...... done it a 1000 times 

  • Can I connect an external hard disk to time capsule? I tried but it doesn't show up. What would be the reason??

    Can I connect an external hard disk to time capsule? I tried but it doesn't show up. What would be the reason??

    The USB drive must be formatted for Mac in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), or if you want to use both Mac and Windows files, the drive can be formatted in FAT32.
    A number of drives are formatted for Windows only in a format called NTFS. This willl not work on the Time Capsule.
    In addition, the USB port on the Time Capsule is under powered. You almost always have to use a powered USB hub when you connect a drive to the Time Capsule...even if the drive has its own power supply.

  • Can i connect an external hard drive?

    Can I connect an external hard drive to the ipad? How about the new one or the iPad 2?  I would like to be able to watch movies stored on the external drive.

    Ordinarily no but I seem to recall someone once describing such a device.  Mr. Google is your friend.

  • Can I connect an external hard drive to Time Capsule for off site back up?

    I like having a copy of everything at another site in case of a house fire. Can I connect an external hard drive to Time Capsule to make a duplicate of what is on Time Capsule? I would store that hard drive at work and bring it home monthly or something to back up Time Capsule. Thanks!

    Can I connect an external hard drive to Time Capsule to make a duplicate of what is on Time Capsule?
    That is exactly what the Archive function on the Time Capsule is for. Connect a USB drive and click Archive, and a mirror image of your Time Capsule will be copied over to the USB drive.  It's a slow process that will take 4-8 hours depending on how much data is on the Time Capsule, so best to start things late at night and let them run overnight.
    Another option would be to use a commercial application like Carbon Copy Cloner to keep your backup.  The advantage to this approach is that once the first "master" backup is done, the application will only back up the changes on the Time Capsule that have occurred since the last backup. So, subsequent backups will be much faster, probably only taking about 10-15 minutes.

  • Can I connect an external hard drive to one of the ethernet port of the airport extreme and access it from my Mac or PC?

    Can I connect an external hard drive to one of the ethernet port of the airport extreme and access it from my Mac or PC?

    If this hard drive is part of a NAS device, then yes it should be accessable from either a Mac or PC while connected to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) by Ethernet.

  • Can I connect an external DLT Tape drive to the SCSI connector on an E450

    Hi... totally new to SPARC. I have inherited an E450. It appears to have the 8 bay option. I have 6 scsi disk drives installed in slots 0 through 5. Internally, there is one ultra scsi controller in slot 2 and two internal cables running from the top of the card, one for each channel. I do have an extra ultra pci scsi card, but when I plugged it into a pci slot, the system would not boot. Bottom line, can I connect an external DLT drive to either Channel A or Channel B at the rear of the Unit and not intefere with other SCSI devices (i.e. the disk drives). Currently, the DLT is set to SCSI ID 8. If this isn't recommended, how do I install the secondary ultra scsi card and have the system recognize it ? Note that the Hard drives have been wiped and I WILL be loading Solaris 10, but have not yet. I wanted to make sure all of the hardware worked first. The second PCI Scsi controller I have is an Adaptec 39160, and I'm assumming it will work IF needed. I'd prefer not to use it if necessary.... ANY HELP is sincerely appreciated ! Thanks, Randy

    I suggest you leave the current internal connections just as they are.
    You never know when you'll need to add more disks.
    That Adaptec card is for PC's.
    It won't work in a Sun SPARC-based system.
    What sort of SCSI interface is required for that tape device?
    Single-Ended? High Voltage Differential? Low Voltage Differential?
    You need a card that matches that interface type if you hope it to "drive" the tape.
    One quick way to tell, is to examine the chassis of the tape peripheral
    and find the small icon that should be at the port for the SCSI cable.
    For example, Sun's 375-0005 card is Single-ended and is what you already have inside your E450.
    Sun's 375-0006 is a HVD card and would be correct for A1000 and D1000 arrays or L7 or L25 tape libraries.
    Sun's 375-3057 card is LVD and would be appropriate for Sun's D2 array.
    The manual for that 375-3057 card happens to have pictures of the SCSI icons I just mentioned.
    See page 35 in that manual.
    http://192.18.109.11/816-2156-11/816-2156-11.pdf
    Once you confirm what's needed by the tape peripheral, we may be able to suggest how to connect it properly.

  • Arch: Install to & run from External USB Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

    I wanted to play with ArchLinux 2009.02, but replacing the existing Debian-Lenny on the laptop's HDD wasn't an option. So I experimented with installing Arch on an external USB Hard Disk Drive.
    I have tried to make this "newbie-friendly", so I hope the more experienced will forgive the detail.
    Materials:
    Three year old Dell Inspiron 6000
         CPU = 2.0 GHz Pentium
         RAM = 2.0 GB
         Internal HDD = 80 GB
         Internal CD/DVD R/RW
    External USB HDD = Freecom FHD-2 Pro 80 GB
    Archlinux 2009.02 install CD
    Steps to install:
    1. I put the Archlinux install CD in the drive and connected the external 80 GB HDD in the USB port.
    2. When the Dell laptop was booted, I pressed F2 to enter the BIOS setup. I edited the boot sequence to the following:
         Internal CD/DVD
         External USB device
         Internal HDD
    On the Dell, you can also press F12 to select the preferred boot device for that boot.
    3. I started the laptop and the Archlinux installation menu came up and I proceeded with installation following the "Official Arch Linux Install Guide" and the "Beginners Guide".
    4. Used km to change to UK keyboard layout and then began the installer script (/arch/setup). I was installing from the core CD so I skipped the network steps.
    5. HDD preparation.
    This was fairly straightforward with two cautions:
         (a) Make very sure that the external HDD (sdb) is selected for the operations.
         (b) Remember to set the Bootable Flag for the first (/) partition on the HDD.
    I chose 20 GB for /, 2 GB for swap and the remainder for /home.
    6. The package selection and installation was fairly straightforward.
    7. Configuration of System
    This was section was straightforward with one warning:
         USB had to be added to the HOOKS in the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf file!
    I found this to be essential for my external USB HDD to function as a bootable device. Otherwise I got the same sorts of errors relating to unrecognisable file system types that other people have reported in the forum.
    The relevant line from the end of the edited /etc/mkinitcpio.conf file is below:
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata usb filesystems"
    8. Installation of GRUB was the other point where caution and/or correction was necessary.
    When it asked where GRUB should be installed, I had to select sdb (my external USB HDD) and not any of the particular partitions on sdb. If the root partition sdb1 was selected then the laptop won't boot from the external USB HDD.
    The GRUB /boot/grub/menu.lst as written by the installation routine specifies hd(1,0) which doesn't work when you try to reboot from the external USB HDD. When you boot Arch from the external USB HDD, as far as Arch is concerned - at that point in time - the external USB HDD is the first drive in the system. To fix this:
         (a) When the Arch boot menu comes up, press e to edit the grub entries.
         (b) Change the first line to hd(0,0)
         (c) To the end of the kernel line add rootdelay=8
         (d) Press b to boot the system with these temporary corrections.
         (e) Once your Arch system has booted, edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst to make the above changes permanent.
    The relevant portion of my /boot/grub/menu.lst looks like the following:
    # (0) Arch Linux
    title  Arch Linux
    root   (hd0,0)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/... ro rootdelay=8
    initrd /boot/kernel26.img
    # (1) Arch Linux
    title  Arch Linux Fallback
    root   (hd0,0)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/... ro rootdelay=8
    initrd /boot/kernel26-fallback.img
    9. The laptop happily and consistently boots Arch Linux from the external USB HDD when it's plugged in before startup/booting.
    Running Arch from the external USB HDD seems as quick as running Debian from the internal HDD.
    So if there is a performance penalty associated with using an external USB HDD, my wife and I haven't noticed.
    In summary, the three essential points to address during installation to an external USB HDD are:
         Remember to set the bootable flag for the first partition.
         Add USB to the HOOKS for /etc/mkinitcpio.conf file.
         Correct the /etc/grub/menu.lst file.
    I hope this is helpful.
    Ted

    Hi Rookie,
    As you say, it is worth remembering the rootfstype= option for the kernel line just in case someone still has problems with GRUB after making all the other changes.
    I was working with the most recent Arch 2009.2 release.
    I only got messages about unrecognisable file system type when I tried booting with the "stock" or "as-installed" GRUB (before I edited /boot/grub/menu.lst). After editing /boot/grub/menu.lst to identify the drive correctly and add rootdelay, GRUB was able to do the rest and everything worked OK without any error messages.
    Best wishes,
    Ted

  • 2 x 1TB hard disk in mac mini server, possible?

    Hi to all of you,
    I see the Mac Mini comes with 2x 500GB hard disk. Since you can now find 1TB hard disk on the Internet I was wondering if the mac mini server would support replacing the 2x500GB HDD by 2 x 1TB HDD?
    Anyone has tried it?
    Would it support it?
    Dag

    I wonder the same thing. Power isn't the issue, though, all these drives should draw low enough power that the Mac Mini should be able to handle it, neither should cooling be an issue, since the Mac Mini is AFAIK not passively cooled.
    However, most laptop 2.5" drives these days are 9.5mm high, the 1TB drives have the older, these days less common 12.5mm high form factor. So the real question is: does the Mac Mini provide the ability to mount 12.5mm high drives.
    FW drives are NOT an option: less performance, and external cables are a recipe for disaster, particularly with any sort of server. Lose cables, corroded connectors, pulling on the wrong cable, separate power supplies that can independently fail, etc. etc.
    I'd rather have a 1TB server with a RAID-1 configuration than with a RAID-0 setup...
    ...and while the thing is open, toss 8GB RAM in...

  • Possible to attach external Esata hard disk on the Imac Quadcore 27?

    Is it possible to attach external Esata hard disk on the Imac Quadcore 27? Or any other Imac? The purpose is for video editing, but maybe Firewire 800 is good enough for hd video in Final Cut Pro?

    Hi Simen,
    The iMac series do not have an ESATA connection and there isn't a way to make a connection inside. The only possible way is to perform surgery on the iMac which
    1. probably will not work and
    2. almost for sure Invalidate the warranty
    This is a fairly common questions however there just isn't a way to do it. If your external drive also has a Firewire or Firewire 800 connection that is your best bet. As you probably know your iMac has a Firewire 800 port and you can daisy chain Firewire devices.

  • Can I connect an external HD on the time capsule and use it as storage space ?

    Hello,
    I am thinking about purchasing a time capsule for backing up my data, but I also need storage space for photos and videos, can I connect an external hard drive to the time capsule and use it as storage ? If so, is there any risk of the time machine use the external hd space for backup as well and eat up all the storage ?

    can I connect an external hard drive to the time capsule and use it as storage ?
    Yes....for storage, as in backup files.  But, not recommended for "working" image or media libraries.
    If so, is there any risk of the time machine use the external hd space for backup as well and eat up all the storage ?
    No, unless you intend to also use the same drive for Time Machine backups.

  • The finder window for an external USB hard disk suddenly started separating files by time (today, yesterday, etc.) and stopped allowing me to change column width, order, etc. Also the header bar shifted to flat white from gray.

    The finder window for an external USB hard disk suddenly started separating files by time (today, yesterday, etc.) and stopped allowing me to change column width, order, etc. Also the header bar shifted to flat white from gray.
    All was normal until the icon for the disk stopped showing up on the desktop when I would plug it in. I rebooted the computer, and the disk icon now shows up but this new look to the finder window started as a result. The hard disk does not have this problem when I use it on another Mac running Snow leopard. Also, two other external hard disks that I use on this computer running lion 7.4 still have the normal header bars with columns that can be reordered, etc.
    I have tried looking in preferences and other places but have not seen this discussed. 

    Well duh - I finally figured out that somehow in the View options for the hard drive, the "arrange by" option had been changed to "by date" from "none". Not sure how that happened, I had never used the "view options" menu tem before. Changing "arrange by" back to "none" gets the gray column headers and the collapsible folder icons back. 

  • Recovering lost GarageBand files from failed external backup hard disk

    For years, I've used SuperDuper's "Back-up - All files" function to regularly backup my computer's hard disk to an external firewire hard disk. On the day I initialized my computer's hard disk to install Leopard, wouldn't you just know, my external hard disk failed. I immediately stopped using it. I've used Data Rescue II on this external hard disk but can't find my GarageBand files. These were in a hard disk subfolder, not in the GarageBand folder or in the User > Music folder. I'm trying to find eight "projects" (some are GarageBand 2 files, others are GarageBand 2008 files), each of which including a voice recording (found a few of those, .aiff files) and software instrument tracks (some imports from Band-in-a-Box, which also can't be found -- but that's for a different forum). First off, what am I looking for, what would those files look like? Data Rescue II's Fast Scan doesn't see any .band file. Searching by name, using a part of the song's name, doesn't bring up anything. This doesn't seem entirely trustworthy as lyrics files using the same name (.doc files) were later found. I've only found two threads related to this on the Web, and they seem to indicate that DRII would be unable to rescue "packaged" files, which my guru husband says is nonsense. So I'm back to the original question: what is it I should be looking for on the external hard disk? Any suggestion gratefully received.

    This is for people who would come to this thread searching an answer for the same kind of problem. I had much better success with FileSalvage. I was able to find the majority of my GarageBand files, with MIDI tracks. Audio tracks were not always included but could be found among .aif files. I have not yet searched for the Band-in-a-Box files.
