E3000 not seeing usb hard drive

have installed the latest firmware and my e3000 is not seeing my external drive at all. when i plug in a usb stick, it recognizes it fine.
it's a 1tb wd internal drive inside of an enclosure . my pc recognizes it fine when plugged in through the usb enclosure. it is formatted ntfs. the drive is being accessed because I can see the indicator lights on the enclosure flashing, but nothing is showing up in the router configuration page.

it other drives work here then its local to the WD drive.
yes i know i know you mentioned it works in a PC, that still does not mean the enclosure is good. the controller board in the enclosure could not be in agreement with the latest firmware.
can you reflash to the previous firmware to test? this for sure would rule out the drives enclosure/controller board...

Imac will not see my hard drive on start up, wants to start from network start up disk that does not exist. How to get rid of it? So there is just one choice / my hard drive.

I have a Intel duo Imac. Everything has been running relatively smoothly for a few years now. All of a sudden my computer will not start. I get the flashing folder with a question mark.
When I go to Start up disk in my system perfernces while the computer is on. I see 2 possible choices. One is my hard drive with the operating system shown. The other is a non-existant Network Start up disk with a question mark in it ( looks like a hard drive with a question mark and it say's its a "network start up disk).
All I think I want to do is get rid of the Network startup with the question mark. I can not find anywhere how one can just remove an old or non existant start up disk without reformatting.
I believe this came from a clients hard drive who had a network system on it. We no longer have that drive. It no longer exists. But a latent icon shows up in start up disk.
When I go to change the start up disk. I can change it to either the hard drive or the network with the question mark. But when I select my hard drive and then got to restart the computer. I get the flashing folder with a question mark on start up. I have also seen the flashing globe a couple times.
When I attempt to run disk utility from may install disk ( holding down "C" on start-up ). Disk utility does not see my hard drive. Just the Apple install disk with the disk utility on it.
What can I do to remedy this short of re-installing? Will a program like Disk Warrior or Tech Tool help?

Thank you. That's what I thought will need to happen.
One more question. I tried using the Apple install disk that came with the computer. It's an OS 10.5.6 disk. It does not see my 10.6.8 system internal hard drive to repair. All it see's is itself 10.5.6 disk. Do you think I can use a 10.8+ disk utillity since that is a higher system it will see the 10.6.8. Where the 10.5.6 does not?
I don't want to turn the computer off for fear I'll get the question mark again. P-Ram got me going last time but for how long I don't know? It would be nice to be able to turn the computer off for the night and startup as usual to give it a rest and try to reset itself.
Thanks for your help, I know I will eventually need to re-install. But I am in the middle of a project with tight deadlines and all I can do right now is back-up. Trying to migrate to another computer temporarily to finish the job. That's a lot of extra work in the short time also.
Just trying to put a band-aid on it for another couple weeks.

IBook G4 not seeing the Hard Drive

My iBook G4 does not see the hard drive. When the computer turns on I get the flashing smiley face in the folder. When I put the disk for the computer in then the computer starts up but cannot see the hard drive so I cannot get into anything. I even put the computer in safe mode to see if I could get it to work and I couldn't. I had a friend who works on computers look at it and he said I needed a new hard drive. So I changed out the hard drive and the computer worked fine for 3 days and then it did the same thing. I'm not sure if there's a problem with the logic board or really what is wrong with it. Please help

Cantobellus:
So I changed out the hard drive and the computer worked fine for 3 days and then it did the same thing.
This seems to suggest that your HDD may not be the problem. Try the old HDD you removed by putting it in a firewire enclosure and connect it to the computer and see if you can boot the computer from it. I experienced a similar issue with a iBook G4 which is detailed in the thread Could it be the logic board?. Your issue may be different, but the thread may give you some ideas for troubleshooting.

AirPort Extreme does not see printer, hard drive, AirPort Express!

I just got an AirPort Extreme (802.11n), to replace my AirPort Express. I have a Brother 665CW wireless all-in-one printer, which had worked perfectly but now I cannot find it. I have also hooked my USB hard drive into the Extreme. I can see the hard drive in the AirPort Utility, but I don't know how to find it from my iBook. I'd also like to put the Express in another room to use the AirTunes feature. Unfortunately, almost nothing is working!
Here is how it's set up:
Den:
AirPort Extreme - hardwired to:
- DSL modem
- hard drive (via USB)
Brother 665CW (wireless)
Living Room:
AirPort Express
Advice would be appreciated. I'm usually able to troubleshoot my problems, but documentation on this Extreme is really bad! Thanks!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I had problems adding Airport expresses using Airport Utility. However I found it worked fine if I used the manual set-up option and not the Assist me option.
Reset the airport express then, in manual set-up, set the express to 'join an airport network' add the airport network password and see if that works

T42 will not see 160gbSamsung hard drive in bios - solid green light no apparent activity

I bought a 160 gb Samsung HM160HC for my T42 to upgrade and do a clean install. When I power on the laptop the green hard drive light stays solid. No activity at all and I do not hear any activity from the drive. The bios is 3.23 which is last one for the t42 in 2007. It is also not recognized in the bios setup screen in the startup menu, but the original 40gb shows up fine when I put it back in with the windows XP pro on it and boots up.
I also get a media test failure code: pxe-e61 to check cable on boot agent base code (ba1217bc) screen during boot up and of course "operating system not found" since it can't see a hard drive. Even when I load windows for the install it cannot find a source drive to install to.
Any ideas what is wrong. thinking I got a bad drive I ordered another one and it does the same thing. I have tried them in both of my t42 laptops with the same problem. Hard to believe I got 2 lemons but it does happen. Any known problems trying to use this drive in the T42 that you might be aware of, it was recommended by some other users when I was researching for a drive to buy for the upgrade.
Thanks,
Al

It never hurts to go over the basics:
a) Make sure that all the pins are straight and no jumpers present.
b) Secure the drive face down in the caddy with all four screws.
c) Gently but firmly push it in all the way, applying the pressure to the HD cover, and then secure the cover with the screw as well.
Any progress?
Well, do I feel like a dummy. The original HD was secured with only 2 screws so I only put the 2 of them back in since it worked fine for it before, It slid in and seemed to make the connection, no bent pins or anything, no jumpers, etc. just no action either ..LOL, WRONG!!!!! I build computers as a hobby so I went to my assortment of screws and put 2 more to secure it at all corners. HELLO.. works like a charm. I was so frustrated I just couldn't see it or didn't think that 2 scews could be the problem since it work fine like that before. Lesson learned and I know better than to cut corners in computer assembly.
So thanks for pointing out the obvious that I couldn't see. BUT... another issue that you might be able to help with.
I upgraded the HD sine the other one was only 12 gb and I was maxed out and I had been having windows XP Pro freeze up for no apparent reason, sometimes while I was using it other times I would come back and it was just unresponsive and I would have to hard restart it by powering it off. Thjought it was the sleep mode or hibernate mode glitching at first, then thought the hard drive might be getting to full and glitching or had a bad sector or sectors causing the problem.
Well I decided to go with Win 7 since most of the other computers on our home network are win 7 just to be compatible. I don't need the Aero features so that is not an issue for me. Well it is still freezing up, happened while I was updating Win 7 for IE 9. JUST FROZE. no response. Had to power it off to get it to work, just like before. Any Ideas, could it be in the BIOS? It is the last update from IBM 3.23. I also could never get the pointer mouse to work before which would be noce, kept telling me it was turned off in the bios...mouse pad works fine just can't activate the pointer control from the control box but I could never find or figure out in the bios what was wrong. Not sure if the two problems are related or not.
So you thinkd reflashing the bios would help? I went in and checked the connections tothe motherboard when I upgraded the ram, just o be sure they were not loose or not counnected securely. Everything seemed to be fine but no pointer activity either and still frezzing up.
Direction to go and what to start looking for. start with the basics again i guess. I have 2 t42's and the other one works fine no glitches and the pointer works on it with no problem.

XP sp3 cannot see usb hard drive connected to airport extreme 802.11n

I have a sata drive that the airport utility recognizes. I attempted to follow the instructions from post HT1331 but no luck yet. I also reformatted the drive from ntfs to fat32 using vista but with the same result.
I found another post while writing this one which solved my problem. It turns out how I formatted the drive wasn't usable by AEBS.
Connecting Large USB Hard Drives to Airport Extreme
I needed to format the drive using the instructions found below.
http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm
After doing this and plugging in the drive I was able to use the drive intended. Since I had started the post I figured I would list the solution.
Cheers!

I don't think two problem are related. Now, for PC, try to disable the firewall software if you ave one. Some firewall can block it, like for ex PC Tools firewall, or ZonaAlarm. Some of them you can configure to work with disk agent.

Installer not seeing my hard drive

Hi all,
I'm running the VM installer on a new machine. The machine has a 750Gig SATA hard drive on it.
It's not detecting the hard drive.
I'm assuming I need some kind of driver for this.
Do I download an .rpm package for this?
How do I apply the driver during the boot/installation process?
Thanks
John

Hi,
According to the specs from HP on my machine, the machine has the following motherboard:
* Motherboard manufacturer's name: ASUS M2N78-LA
* HP/Compaq name: Viola-GL8E
According to the site where I purchased the machine, the motherboard uses the chipset:
Chipset NVIDIA GeForce 8200 Chipset
Just for giggles, last night, I downloaded OpenSUSE 11 and installed it. The installation went flawlessly. I would like to experiment with Oracle VM though.
I would also like to report that both Oracle VM 2.1.2 and the latest version of ORacle Enterprise linux have the same problem of not detecting my SATA hard drive.

System Image Restore can't see USB hard drive

Hi
I've just spent a day taking System Image backup images of three different hard drives. Well ok I didn't just sit and watch the bar move across the screen although it did hold up my computer. Anyway, what a waste of a day from my PC because
when I try to restore using System Image backup from my USB drive, the USB drive cannot be found. I have followed the procedure on page 750 of Configuring Windows 7, 70-680 precisely. I tried booting from an OS DVD and a Windows Repair
DVD, but no USB drive. I tried using a blank usb stick and that can't be found either. The USB drive can be seen when I logon to Windows to get the images on it. Might this be more to do with hardware such as adjusting BIOS boot settings,
or updating BIOS firmware. There seems to be others with unresolved problems like this. Should I join them and buy Acronis instead?

Thanks for sending me these links and I will check them out. I think I came across most of the answer on the following link although doubts are raised:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/windows-7-restore-from-image-wont-recognize/ce8e3d0a-236d-4eff-8370-c171d2dfa555?tm=1333929198413&page=1#footer
Basically, I should have had three files on the external drive as follows:
a.      A file named: MediaID.bin
b.      A file that has the same named as your computer name (this is where the .zip files are located).
c.      The 'System Image' folder named 'WindowsImageBackup'.
By moving my backups into a folder out of the way and doing a fresh backup I prevented some confusion in the system. After this I could at last see the external drive and backup when doing a system image recovery. But how is
it be possible to store more than one backup of hard drives on an external disk? The only way I know is by moving backups in and out of a folder which will take ages to do. Maybe I can rename the unused backups but this will get confusing
because there are thee files to a backup and I think files are overwritten when doing backups if left in the route of the external drive. I is too easy to overwrite a backup of another drive by accident.

My time capsule does not see external hard drive

I just got a new time capsule and am hoping to use it as a wireless bridge and NAS.
I've got it set up as a bridge and that seems to be working correctly, but when I plug my external hard drive into the time capsule, I can't see that external drive show up anywhere.
Has anybody else run into this issue?
The hard drive is a WD Elements 3 TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive - WDBAAU0030HBK-NESN.

I can't see that external drive show up anywhere.
If the drive is formatted correctly and communicating with the Time Capsule, then it will be displayed when you open AirPort Utility, click on the Time Capsule icon, click Edit, and then click the Disks tab at the top of the next window. Example:
Remember that since this drive is a "network" drive, it will not be displayed on the desktop until you manually mount the drive.

MacBook does not recognize USB hard drive

Hello,
I have a MacBook 10.5.8 and I have been using an external hard drive (Mobile Drive Clasic 2.5'' 80-GB USB-2.0) to keep saves of important files. It has been working fine until now but I have recently used the same USB drive on a Windows 7, which would often not allow me to eject it, so I did the unwise and simply plugged it off at any rate a few times. This did not appear to cause any problems - but when today I tried to copy one file from my desktop to the USB drive it seemed to lag, I hit cancel, I restarted the computer and since then the USB drive does not show up at all. I plugged it in my Mac to see if it was a Windows problem, but to my surprise it does not show up there either, not in the Finder (I have the box checked in my Preferences) and not even in Disk Utility.
Is it possible that the USB drive was damaged beyond repair and that I cannot retrieve the data? What could possibly be the problem? :/

If the drive used to work with both computers and now works with neither one of them, the fault is with the drive. If it is not showing up in Disk Utility that would suggest a hardware fault.
There are a number of data recovery services that are usually able to get data back off of even badly damaged hard drives, you might try working with one of them. DriveSavers is well thought of. They are not cheap though. You will want to decide how much that data is worth to you.
Best of luck.

My new airport extreme does not see the hard drive

I have a new airport extreme with a hard drive connected to the USB port but the airport can't see the disk. I verified the firmware and is 7.7.1
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1665
Disk was working good but after Mavericks, the problem start.
Any suggestion?

I had problems adding Airport expresses using Airport Utility. However I found it worked fine if I used the manual set-up option and not the Assist me option.

Can not find USB Hard Drive with Airport Utility Programme

I am quite new to MAC and I am having difficulty making my Iomega External HD seen by the Airport Extreme Base Station (new version). I have the latest Aiport Utility software 5.2.1 but when I go to the hard drive section it does not see it. The drive is connected via USB. Can anyone help me please.

Hi, this could be caused if the hard drive isn't in the right file system. To make it work, it needs to be formatted in a 'MAC OSX EXTENDED' format. You can do this in Disk Utility if you connect the drive directly to the computer and go to applications/utilities/disk utility.
Another question that may be asked this external hard drive, does it have its own power supply? If it does it should be ok, but some small portable thieves power which the router probably wont provide. If this is the case you can sort it by getting a powered USB hub (which don't cost much).
Another issue you might come across was a bug I found if you give the Hard Drive a name and connect it to the router and it appears and the next time you unplug the router power and connect it again it sees it but you cant connect to it on any computer over the network, the hard drive name needs changing every time you unplug the router, its a silly bug but im glad I finally worked it out.
Also, Airport Utility has a new software update, so have a look for it, should be 7.2.1 now!
Let me know how you get on!
