Hard drive and windows 7

I brought the Toshiba PX 1394u external hard drive. It worked amazing on my windows XP computer however i recently moved and brought a windows 7 laptop, and my hard drive doesn't want to work as well as it did on my windows XP (unable to copy files and at times doesnt recognise it). It works on my xbox 360 but not my laptop.
Is there ainyway of getting my hard drive to work with windows 7?

Is this an NTFS drive? If so I think you have an issue with its security settings. Pull up the properties of the drive and click on the security tab and look at who can do what - I expect you will see "names" relating to your old laptop. I would suggest a google for "NTFS external drive permissions" and I would expect you will find some step by step guides to sort it.

    Your "Firefox personal data", like bookmarks, are stored in your Profile folder in Firefox. See this support article about how to recover that data from that old hard drive and transfer it your your new Profile.

  • New Hard drive and Window disc

    I bought a dv6-6047cl before, and the hard drive is not working now.  (No window disc with the laptop)
    So i buy a new hard drive,after i put the new hard drive and it shows me
     DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
    What should i do?
    Someone told me i should buy a new window 7 Home to RESTORE TO FACTORY SETTINGS.  Is that right?
    If yes, which CD should i buy?  Can you show me the picture?
    If not, what can i do?

    you download the ISO then you need use the Microsoft tool to make the bootable memory stick or cd.
    Use the links in my 1st post for the Microsoft tool & a guide on using it.
    Once you have your boot media made you need plug in the usb stick or load the cd & then boot notebook & enter boot option menu & boot from cd or usb drive pending on what you decide use.
    A very basic guide on installing windows 7 is in link below, don't follow it blindly, just use it as a rough guide as needed & think twice, do some research or ask questions if hae doubts<>problems ...

  • New hard drive and Windows 7 issues

    I bought a new 1 Tetra Samsung hard drive for my computer since 150GB was not enough. I did this because I need windows partitioned for school. After I installed the hard drive and inserted the Mac OS disk, it would not recognize the hard drive to install. Since then, I have read previous forums such as: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3322843?start=0&tstart=0
    Now, the issue is: I went ahead and installed my Windows XP SP2 because I could not get Mac OS to install. I have also downloaded the Windows 7 Professional update from Microsoft and have a Operating Disk on its way in the mail. I am having some issues with sound and camera and probably others that I don't know about yet, like my graphics card and such. What should I do?
    1. Erase HD and install the Mac OS, because I do want this on my computer. Then download updates for Windows 7 bootcamp and reinstall Windows 7 when I get it in the mail.
    or,
    2. Is there a way to fix the driver issues that I am having without having to reinstall windows. I have not tried to partition yet and install mac.
    I think it would be best to:
    Install Mac OS
    Download updates
    Bootcamp and Install Windows 7
    What do you think and do you have any advice as how I should go about this. Oh, btw, living in a PC world and coming home to my Macbook Pro 3,1 and realizing that it is not as functional is kinda disappointing.
    So, I found this site for the sound: http://www.stuffedcow.net/macbook_audio
    And: http://www.cirrus.com/en/products/cs4207.html
    I am not sure how to go about installing a new driver. Do I download and save or do I run a certain .exe?
    I found this post and was reading, but I am not certain about the right driver for the sound. If I erase the hard drive and install mac. Then, bootcamp and install windows, will I loose my wifi driver? Windows 7 should have that update, but according to this post, it may not.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2534313

    If I were in your shoes I would want to understand why I couldn't install OSX on the internal drive before going any further. Without getting past that hurdle you may or may not be successful in your aims, but you are outside mainstream intended ways of running Bootcamp.
    Just a couple of starters:-
    1. Is your internal hard drive (samsung) formatted with a GUID partition table and HFS+ file system? All done in Disk Utility, booted from the Install disk.
    2. The Apple Install disk (plus subsequent Apple Software Updates) has all the drivers Bootcamp needs, without having to find and download from elsewhere. I run Windows 7 64 bit on two Macs and have never had to go and find a driver. (Of course Windows does it automatically for me for other hardware). Sorry if this next point is insultingly obvious, but just to check that you know you can put the Apple Install Disk in while running Windows and Windows find the installer.
    You don't say anything what your MBP is or what version of OSX you are running. I am not fully up to date with the inplications of Lion and Bootcamp drivers as there is no install disk. I believe 2011 MBPs won't run XP.
    Your comment "Oh, btw, living in a PC world and coming home to my Macbook Pro 3,1 and realizing that it is not as functional is kinda disappointing" implies that you haven't had a Mac very long. Although Macs are easy to pick up and use, there is a LOT to learn about customisation and using it properly and getting the most out of them. I have a number of relatives who still use OSX "out of the box"....it's like driving a car in first gear, and complaining "this car doesn't go very fast". Not a perfect analogy as speed is not the issue here.
    Sorry if some of this post is missing the target...just take on board the bits that apply.

  • Upgrading hard drive and Windows

    I have a X61s Thinkpad with a 100 GB hard drive that is getting full (about 85GB).  I plan to buy a larger faster hard drive (probably a 7200 RPM 250 GB Western Digital one from New Egg:  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136279
    First question; Are there any likely problems with upgrading to this hard drive?
    Second, I still run XP and have recently purchased Windows 7 to install.  Should I clone existing drive contents to new drive and then change to Windows 7 or install Windows 7 on the existing hard drive and then move everything to the new drive?  Or some other scenario?
    Finally, do I need to worry about the fall protection on this drive conflicting with the similar system in the laptop?
    I'm fairly computer competent, but like it much better when I don't have to muck around inside the settings too much.
    Thanks,
    nwjhawk

    someone else will probablly have to answer as to the compatibility of the new drive. but, as far as installing 7, are you planning an upgrade or do you actually have the os on disc.  if you have it on disc, i would probably install the new drive and load the new os right on it.  that way you would have your old drive with your old os as a backup just in case anything would go wrong.  if you are planning an upgrade then i would clone the old drive to the new drive and do the upgrade on the new drive. active protection and power management should still work the same but there have been a few posts on here concerning buggy drivers.  if your display starts freezing or lagging uninstall active protection first and if it still acts up then do the power management. but it should still work okay.

  • Bootcamp - OSx on one hard drive and windows 7 64bit on another hard drive

    I have browsed the forum and the net without getting a clear answer
    Fact:

    Is there a posibility to set up bootcamp this way, and how does one procede to land in this solution.
    Please help me with a clear answer.

    Installing on multiple drives of course can be done.
    I consider it normal, common sense approach.

  • Replace hard drive and windows 8 software

    Hi,
    Where do you get the replacement for $30+ ? Is it a Recovery set from HP ? A Recovery set from HP will have Windows and drivers for your machine which allows you to bring your machine back to factory settings.

  • Portable Hard Drive and Windows 8

    Hello, I have a Toshiba portable hard drive model #HDDR640E04X.  It works great on a Windows Vista 64 bit machine and has for years.  However, now that I have a new laptop with Windows 8, it will not read the drive.  It has downloaded drivers from Microsoft when I have plugged it in via USB.  It will recognize the drive and assign it a drive letter, but there is no way to access data.  Any ideas?  I looked for drivers or other patches on the Toshiba web site for this model and none were available.  I'd prefer to be able to use this on both computers and not have to buy a new portable hard drive.  Thanks.

    This device cannot start (Code 10)
    Does the drive have it's own power supply or does it depend upon power from the USB port?
    If the latter, I suspect the port does not supply sufficient power.
    To confirm that, see what happens with a powered hub like this one.

  • New style hard drives and Windows XP

    According to this article, new style hard drives will cause problems for XP due to sector size
    http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2010/03/why-new-hard-disks-might-not-be-much-fun-for -xp-users.ars

    That is correct. However, WD being the first to use these large sectors, has included a utility to adress the problem with the LBA 63 sector, which is no longer adressable with the 4096 byte sectors. I have not yet seen reports on reliability and stability with this utility.

  • I have itunes directory on an external hard drive and want to direct a new installation of itunes on windows 8 to use it. I tried holding down ctrl and clicking itunes and after many tries got it to work one time. When I went back in later it had reverted

    I have itunes directory on an external hard drive and want to direct a new installation of itunes on windows 8 to use it. I tried holding down ctrl and clicking itunes and after many tries got it to work one time. When I went back in later it had reverted back to a blank version of itunes and I cant get ctrl to work again. Any other ideas?

    This is sometimes caused by a problem with the iTunesPrefs.xml file, normally found at C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunesPrefs.xml. Try dragging this to the desktop and trying again.
    Alternatively the problem may be that you have McAfee AV and it is preventing iTunes from updating the same file and thus causing the problem. See Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml? for details.

  • I'm trying to transfer my iTunes library from my old Windows-based Acer to my new MacBook Pro. The Acer has two hard drives, and I've had to split my music between the two drives in order to hold it all.

    Neither drive has enough room to consolidate the entire library.  And over time (for reasons I just chalk up to the Acer being a bad computer), I've inadvertently created multiple "libraries".  After everything went missing somehow a couple of years ago, I had to import a previous library called "Previous iTunes Library," and my library has annoyingly enough been called that ever since.  What's the best way to make all this get fixed into a new complete library on my new Mac?  I have an external hard drive, and if I cleared everything else off of it, it might be able to store the entire consolidated library.  Would that work?

    It sounds like the library might have been placed in your Home/Library folder which is invisible.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For  Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    When you find the iPhoto library move it to your Pictures folder.

  • Windows 7 and iTunes doens't recognise iPod Classic 80g after wipe clean hard drive and format fat32.

    My iPod Classic 80gb every now-and-then goes funny, and eventually iTunes doesn't recognise it. In the past I could put it on disk mode, and do a reset, but some times I would have to format (FAT32), uninstall and reinstall iTunes, so it would work. Now it happened again, this time wiped clean the hard drive and formatted. However windows 7 and iTunes still doesn't recognise it. Tried many tips online but nothing works. All software I have used don't see the hard drive, so can't format it again.
    I can get it on disk mode but even then windows and iTunes don't recognise it. When connecting to laptop my machine goes boiling hot. Left it connected with iTunes on for  few hours but still no luck.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello @turingtest2.
    Following your threat I realized it was time to have my hard drive changed. My iPod classic has a Samsung Model: HS081HA, 80gb/3600 rpm (real hard to get it open and check out!!!).
    My question is if I DO HAVE to buy exactly the same hard drive, or I could get away with another manufacturer and model, such as Toshiba (80 GB MK8009GAH FOR iPod Video 5th 5.5th iPod Classic 6.5th 7th Gen Hard Drive - Ebay listing)?
    I ask you that as these Toshiba hard drives are considerably cheaper.
    Help much appreciated.

  • I copied my iPhoto library to an external hard drive and all the event windows are black. Once you click on a square the photos are still there. How do I fix that?

    I copied my iPhoto library to an external hard drive and the event windows show up black.
    The photos are still there once I click on an event but they don't show in the window.
    My next step is to delete the iPhoto library from the internal memory to free some memmory space but I don't want to do this until I see that the library works fine on the external hard drive.
    How do I fix that?

    Hold down the "option" + "command" keys and launch iPhoto.
    Select the "Rebuild Thumbnails" choice.
