Unfortunately coping the partition does not work. I don't thing you will be able to create recovery media from the copied partition on the external but if you have not yet created recovery disk you can give it a try.
If you cannot create the recovery media you will need to contact HP support to obtain a recovery kit.

External Hard disk unresponsive after waking from sleep

i have an external usb2 drive connected to my 15" mbp. when waking from sleep, the drive is shown as mounted by accessing it gives me the spinning beachball icon and the computer stops responding until i pull out the usb cable from the mbp. it then proceeds to give me a device removal error. the external drive draws power from the usb bus.
other than this one issue the hard drive works perfectly on both ports.

I got home from work today and was forced to hard restart AGAIN. It seems to be happening more and more often now, but maybe that is just me.
My logitech revolution mouse has never caused problems before with a g4 powerbook or g5 tower. The last thing I added was the apple wireless keyboard. I can't imagine it being the problem since it is using an apple product with an apple computer.
I read the link you sent and used Disc Utility to repair disc permissions and received the following warnings:

External Hard Disk disconnected while rendering, project disappeared now with a yellow exclamation sign triangle. Is there a way to recover it?

Hello,
I was working on a project located at a library in an external hard disk. The external hard disk was disconnected while FCPX was rendering. Once it was connected back there's no project in the event, I can't find it in Finder nor anywhere else and I get a yellow triangular exclamation sign icon. Has the project disappeared? Is there a way to find it? I have no backup
Recovering this is quite important for me.
I'd greatly appreciate any help or tips.

External Hard Drive Fail After Waking from Sleep

Hi,
I've been having this issue for over a year (since upgrading to Lion, and now still persists after upgrading to Mountain Lion), and I haven't been able to find the exact answer I need after searching through the posts here, and on the internet.
I have a 2011 MBP, and after upgrading to Lion last year, I've noticed that my WD external hard drive for the Mac has issues to be recognized after the laptop wakes from sleep. The drive icons are still there on the desktop, and all the files are listed. However, I cannot open any of the files, and Time Machine backup automatically fails.I am able to eject the drives by dragging the icons into the trash can. However, nothing happens if I simply unplug the fire wire 800 cable and re-plug it into the computer after ejecting the drives. I need to reset the external drive by unplugging both the fire wire cable and the power supply, and replug everything.
Aside from being a hampering process after waking from sleep, this is also very stressful on the drive itself, so I would like to fix this. Does anyone know the issue behind this or have a solution? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for this, and apologies for delay in replying...in between seeing your post I backed up the ext hdd to another mac and used the disc utility to erase and repair and then re mounted the ext hdd. OK. I have then tested the ext hdd being recognised when waking from sleep mode a few times and everything appears to be fine. If this doesn't work (long term) I will follow the instructions as you have suggested....
I now have a new problem with my HP printer (Photosmart Plus) which is not being recognised by a new wireless router..Ok whilst the router is switch on and I have reconfigured the printer..but when the router is switched off overnight and then switched back on...I get a 'printer is not connected' message and have to go through the re configure routine all over. I am minded to think this is a router problem as the same issue is happening to my wifes Mac Book Pro (which is only a few weeks old)...any suggestions..

External Hard Disc problems after upgrade from OSX 10.4 to 10.6

I have a La Cie external hardisk which I connect to my MacBook Pro with a firewire cable. It is formatted with UFS/Unix filesystem and was very fussy about being unplugged without being ejected under 10.4. If it was accidently unplugged with 10.4 it would take about 10 minutes to mount the next time it was plugged in, while it was checked, but would work fine.
Now with 10.6.1 the permissions show me having only read access (so I decided to make a copy of the disk and reformat it). Unfortunately when the disk is plugged in, it immediately shows in the finder, but is behaving strangely - it only shows some of the files in the filesystem and ceases to function at all after a few minutes. If I try to verify the disk using Disk Utility I get an error message saying that it is unable to unmount. I've also tried DiskWarrior, but it says the filesystem is unsupported.
Any ideas would be gratefully received...
Thanks!
Chris

this very much sounds like a failing/failed hard drive. you can try reformatting it wile booted from the snow leopard install dvd using disk utility there. if that does not work (I suspect it won't) I would get rid of it altogether.

External display resolution changes after returning from display sleep

I often use an external display as a second screen with my Macbook Pro (OS X 10.8.2) However, when I return to the computer after the display has gone to sleep, the external display resolution changes when the display reappears. Then I have to go into System Preferences > Display and "Detect Displays" in order to return the external display to the proper resolution.
Does anybody know of a way for me to avoid having to do this every time my display sleeps?
Thank you,
Adam

I have the exact same problem.
I found the key combination ⌘ alt F2 also restores the proper resolution on both displays, however it's still a bit annoying

Iphone backup to an external hard disk

I'm currently using a Mac Air with very limited internal hard disk space (60.7GB). And after all applications installed, I'm left with hardly less than 10GB, not enough space to backup my iphone and ipad.
How can I point iTunes to store my iphone and ipad backups to my external hard disk, and to restore from it?

This previous discussion may be of interest: how do i change the file location of a backup on my computer

Problems with iPhoto after exporting library to external hard disk

Hello all,
I am using iPhoto 8 on an iBook G4. I recently attempted to back up my iPhoto library to an external hard disk. I did this by dragging the iPhoto library to the external hard disk. I did not delete the library on my own computer. Since I've done this, iPhoto has not been problematic. For instance, when I attempt to open an event on my computer, I can not see the thumbnails of all the photo's in the event - iPhoto will display each individual photo in sequence. If I want to print a picture, I have to export the entire event - I can't just drag the thumbnail to my desktop. Also, when I attempt to upload new pictures from my camera it produces an error.
Does anyone know what might be going on? I need to be able to access my photo's, so can anyone give me some advice on how to fix whatever I've done?
Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

iPhoto will display each individual photo in sequence.
There's a slider lower right of the iPhoto Window - drag it left.
Why are you exporting to Print?
when I attempt to upload new pictures from my camera it produces an error.
What does the error say?
As for accessing your pics:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

I am unable to copy files from my macbook pro to my external hard disk.

I am unable to copy files from my macbook pro to my external hard disk. I tried to copy a movie 800mb in size to my EDD and it shows the loading box and it says zero kb loaded out of 800mb and sometimes it loads a a few kb of the file, then after a while it ejects my hard disk and gives a message saying you should have ejected it properly. and it sometimes gives this message
"The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “....” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)".
This happens with a range of files if they are more than a few mb in size, so I am pretty sure its not the file problem. It also occurs sometimes when i try to copy from my EDD to my mac.
I have tried everything. I formatted my EDD to MS-DOS (FAT) format because i need to use it with mac and windows. I tried resetting The SMC and the PRAM and NVRAM. I tried verify and disk repair on disk utility. But the same thing happens over again and it is really frustrating. The problem doesnt happen with my PC.
My EDD is an Apollo 320GB hard drive from Imation.
Also are there any particular EDD brands that may not have this issue with MACs and can be used on mac and PC?
Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,
So this is follow up from my debarkle with the EDD. I found out my problem with copying files from Mac to EDD and vice versa was a result of a not so good EDD ( i had an apollo hard drive from imation) that was not very compatible with macs. So i did my research and found out that the best hard drives were Western Digital and Seagate. I bought the newest western digital EDD 1TB and formated it to FAT32 and guess what...no problems so far. The only problem is that FAT32 format doesn't copy files larger than about 4 gigs so i couldnt copy a movie from my brothers computer onto my EDD that was 1080p. You could probably resolve that by partitioning a small part of your hard drive in ExFAT? but yeah, hopefully that helped guys.

How to move all or partial data from Mac to an external hard disk?

Hei,
I need to learn how to move the movies/projects/events from mac hard drive to another external hard drive.
So basically, I have always imported all events from my video camera (the original clips) to iMovie located in my MacBook Pro hard drive. But after videoing for one year, the hard disc is starting to get full, and I cannot continue using only the laptop's hard drive.
So I would like to move part OR all of my iMovie related stuff to another external disk drive (connected with USB wire). How do I do that? Is it possible to have some events located in Mac's own hard drive, and some clips/projects in the external hard disk? How to arrange all this?
I know that "projects" are linked to the original event clips, so if I would be able to export some part of my iMovie data to the external hard drive, I should export both, for example, everything from the same year (the events) which is linked to the projects that are using those data.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

ok First with IM9, you can easily move stuff around. Here are some lessons learned from my experience managing projects across 6 different drives.
1. All Drives must be formatted macos extended journaled
2. The large terabyte drives are great for long term storage of events
3. When you are working on a project, if possible, try to move the clips the current clips you will need to your internal hard drive. This is only necessary if you care about any time machine back ups.
4. I have also worked on project straight from the external drives. I also use portable drives such as WD passports. These are small 500 gig drives that can travel with you. I have three of those. LOVE THEM.
5. One way to move projects and clips and keep things organized is to move the project using command drag. It will ask, do you want to move just the project or project and clips. Then voila all clips and project are then moved to that drive!
6. REMEMBER...MOVE WITHIN IMOVIE using COMMAND Drag. NEVER EVER USE THE FINDER. This is for both projects and events. Using the Command Key will ensure the projects are moved and not just copied!
7. Last but not least, if you have changed the dates of events using change date function in imovie....For some reason, there is a bug. It inconsistently will change the date. Don't know why and have reported the issue, but it is still not fixed!
But its still a great little app!

Cannot copy files from external hard disks

This is happening often enough to be really painful:
I insert a hard disk. I browse the files on it. I open a new window of Finder and drag some files from the external hard disk into my own machine (OSX Leopard 10.5.5). It croaks, telling me some "permissions" are wrong (Error -36).
Browsing Google and Macosxhints and all of that, the suggestions indicate that I should "repair permissions", "repair disk", and reboot. All done. Still doesnt work.
What now? I never had this problem with Windows. What's with this permissions drivel on OSX and how can I fix it once and for all? I only use my machine to browse on Firefox/Safari, talk with Skype, edit with Coda/Transmit, and then Office documents. Which of these tools changes these mysterious permissions so that I have to keep "repairing" again and again???
Thanks for any pointers or advice!

I am on shaky ground here because I am totally ignorant about about Windoze and MS-DOS. What I can tell you, though, is that the Unix underpinning of Mac OS X is heavily reliant on the concept of "ownership" which, apart from other factors, has security implications. FAT32 has absolutely no concept of file ownership. (That's why Microsoft encourages everyone to use NTFS instead - mainly for the security implications).
You need advice - Sorry! - from someone more knowledgeable than me as to how to change both the format (to Mac OS Extended, Journaled) and the Partition Scheme (to GUID) *+while preserving your data+*. I presume that you would need to find a temporary home for that data, after which altering the drive's structures would take only a moment - but as to how to then correctly replace the data onto that drive I would prefer not to say. I would guess that simply transferring the data back onto the drive now with a 'Mac-appropriate' structure would suffice - but PLEASE do not entrust your data to my 'guess'.
Wait patiently for someone who knows how to advise you to respond in this thread, or post again with a possibly more descriptive/pertinent title.
Sorry not to have been of any help.

How to Export pictures from iPhoto to external hard disk? Newbie here! Please help!

Need your help guys. Just bought a new Macbook Pro. Loved using the iPhoto but after managing a lot of my photos, realised that I cannot export an edited photo from iphoto to my external hard disk. I am not sure what iphoto version I am running right now but my Mac is brand new and comes with the pre installed softwares. Whenever I try to export an event, folder or even a picture, I will get this message unable to create/Volumes/FreeAgentDrive/ after going thru the Export process in iphoto. Please help!!!

Your Mac can "read" data from an NTFS drive, but can't "write" files to it.
If you intend to use this drive only on Mac computers, then, use Disk Utility to erase it and format for Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
If you want to be able to write files to the external drive AND still use it with Microsoft Windows computers, then, format it as MS DOS. (Or, on a Microsoft Windows computer, format the drive as Fat32. However, if you use Windows XP, be aware that the largest size you can do this with is 32Gb. Vista and Windows 7 doesn't have this limit.)
Another option, do you have to use an external hard drive? What about a flash drive?
