I have an external 1TB WD USB or E-Sata connect hard drive that I cannot get my system to recognize.
Is the drive partioned and formatted?
Is it shown in Device Manager?
Is it shown in Disk Management?
What operating system are you using

    Thanx in advance for any and all help i am, hopefully about to receive.  i read quite a few of previous threads and didnt find one with my issue.
    HERE GOES...
    this entire system was running with a different brand mobo (just upgraded to this msi-7125) and was running great!!
    however when i installed windows xp media center edition 2005, things where working great.  that is until i installed the nforce system drivers from the disk that MSI provided me. once i installed the ethernet driver,ide-sw driver, network controller the ask me for a reboot after install was done,  when the system restarted i got all the way the windows xp splash screen or loading screen.  at that point windows stops loading stays on the loading screen for about 10 minutes, then the computer shuts off.
    i have tried running memtest and had no errors, im positive that my psu is capable of handling my components.
    i'm really stuck on this one, any help would great thanx again!!!

    You should be able to get into Windows through safe mode. From here uninstall the drivers and restart. You should hopefully be able to get into Windows normally now. Get hold of the latest drivers from the Nvidia web site and try them.
    Also check both Ethernet controllers are enabled in the BIOS.

    The Centro uses a microSd card, if you have an adapter for the card it might be write /read protected. There is a switch at the top left of the card. I would try using other kinds of SD card into the PC to make sure it's not the SD card reader to hub. Next if the PC still does not recognize the card I would reformat the card right on the centro. Just go to Card Info and hit the drop down and select format. If you have pictured and other information try to Bluetooth it to your PC or send it via the internet.

    Hello darkhawk,
    Thank you for the recommendation.  I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one  - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
    Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
    If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

  • Moving photoshop elements 12 and lightroom 5 from windows machine to a Mac Pro

    Is it possible to transfer licence from the windows machine to the mac?
    The Lightroom version does appear to be a windows/mac version but the serial number won't activate the product.
    The Photoshop Elements was actually a windows version so perhaps that is more excusable.
    But is one really expected to either buy this software again or just forget about them all together?

    For Lightroom and Elements your license covers both Mac and Windows.  You do need to install the appropriate version in each case however.  I Windows version will not work on a Mac, and vice versa.

  • K8N Neo4 7125 - Installing 2nd Hard Drive - Hitachi Deskstar 1TB Sata

    I went to install a second drive on my old desktop, a Hitachi Deskstar 1TB Sata Drive.
    Initially, it was recognized in the BIOS and Windows XP Computer Management panel.
    I partitioned and formatted it in Windows XP (NTFS).
    When I re-started the computer, the computer would not recognize the drive in the BIOS or Windows, as if wasn't there at all.
    I am thinking this is a BIOS issue.  Is there a limitation on Hard Drive size for this board?
    Also, I cannot find where the manufacturer says this is a SATA II but retailers say it is.  Could this be a problem for this board?
    Lastly, could it have been recognized as a FAT32 drive but when I formatted it to NTFS that caused a problem?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.  The board continues to fill my needs and I hate to just junk it because of the hard drive limitation.

    Thanks in advance for all the replies thus far.
    My specific model is K8 Neo4 Platinum 601-7125-010 as noted in my profile.  This was the first K8 NEO4 Platinum model MSI manufactured.
    Yes, the sata ports are orange, thus making it a SATA I board.  Given that, should not a Sata II drop down to a Sata I standard automatically?
    I have talked to a couple of other techies, which I am not, who have had similar experiences and both of them said they later found their bios was limited to accept only certain sized drives. 
    I wonder what is the maximum hard drive size for this board and Bios (1.9)?

    You have to connect the HDD to another machine 1st, to be able the drive to be detected.

  • I redirected iTunes to an external drive and moved my iTunes library and folder, but my hard drive is still low on space.  How can I be sure that my music is all on the external HD ONLY, especially with the new iCloud technology?

    I redirected iTunes to an external drive and moved my iTunes library and folder, but my hard drive is still low on space.  How can I be sure that my music is all on the external HD ONLY, especially with the new iCloud technology?  It doesn't look like I created any more space by doing this, AND I totally lost all my iTunes playlists.  I'm not sure if because I added old library materials manually if this messed up my playlists, or if the new location is just not reading my moved library.  In any case, I followed step by step instructions and found a few holes and thought I'd just "figure it out" but I guess I'm not as smart as I thought since I'm still scratching my head many hours later.
    Thanks for any support ;-)

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
    If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • Mac and Windows on same iTunes Library? NAS?

    I moved my mac iTunes library to a NAS, hoping that all machines in the house (Mac and Windows) could access and update the library (but not at the same time because of file locking).  So I moved the .itl and .xml files over to the NAS as well but some machines can only see parts of the library.
    Is this not a supported configuration?  How could I set up such a sharing library with update capability?  Thanks in advance.

    You don't need any software installed on the windows PC. Just plug it into the Ethernet port on the router to the Ethernet port on the NIC card. If you want the Fios software installed go to activatemyfios.verizon.net and click configure another computer and enter your fios user name and password. If you are having connection problems go to verizon.com/connectionwizard and install that software.

  • ITunes 64-bit and Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

    I have a relatively new installation of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and have not moved the "Music Folder" to a new location. I have moved the "My Documents" folder to a new location tho. Inside of the "My Documents" folder, I see folders named "My Albums" and "Music Lyrics", but no "Music" or "My Music".
    After installing the 64-bit version of iTunes, I get the following error.
    The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created and is required.
    The default location for this folder is inside the "Music" folder.
    I have researched and seen many references to this error and Windows XP, but nothing for Windows 7.
    Ideas?

    Something may be awry with the special registry permissions on the My Music folder, Just. I think the iTunes installer looks for those in order to determine just where the default location of My Music is on a given computer.
    But since this is a first-time install, the situation should be pretty simple to recover from.
    Hold down the shift key when you go to launch iTunes. In the dialog box that comes up, select "Create library" and put the library where you please.
    Probably a good idea after doing that to try launching iTunes again, just to make sure that it is still finding the iTunes folder. But by default, next time you open iTunes (after creating a new library), it should try to open the library in the location you created the library in.

  • When using the same Firefox profile in Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 8.1, how can I keep autoscrolling enabled in Firefox for Linux?

    I access the same Firefox profile in Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 8.1 (Windows fast startup disabled). I have the newest version of Firefox (26.0) on each system.
    Every time I launch Firefox in Ubuntu after using the profile in Windows, I notice that autoscrolling is disabled. So I have to manually enable it every time after using my profile in Windows.
    Conversely, every time I launch Firefox in Windows after using the profile in Ubuntu, I'm asked whether I would like to set Firefox as my default browser. I choose "No", first making sure that there is no check mark next to "Always perform this check when starting Firefox". I have to do this every time after using my profile in Ubuntu, despite the fact that if I check my preferences in either OS, "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup" is not enabled. Note that Firefox is my default browser in Ubuntu but not in Windows, but I have no need for Firefox to check whether it's the default every time it starts in either OS.
    I don't know whether these problems are related, but it seems likely that they are. Is there a way that I can keep these settings constant, so they don't reset every time I switch operating systems?

    I'm sure that when I close the browser in either OS before switching to the other, the following two conditions are true in the Advanced tab of the Firefox Preferences menu:
    1) "Use autoscrolling" is enabled (with a check mark)
    2) "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup" is disabled (no check mark)
    The autoscrolling feature allows you to scroll by holding down the middle mouse button and moving the mouse up and down. The extension you linked to, ScrollyFox, enables scrolling by clicking a button in the Firefox UI, which is quite a different feature. So unfortunately the problems still remain.

  • Can i use my external itunes media folder on mac and windows

    Ok, i have moved my media folder itunes to my external drive.
    But i also have installed windows 7 on bootcamp 
    I want to use the same itunes media folder external on my osx and windows is this
    possible didn't tryed it because i was afraid that i could damage the data.

    Hi
    Yes there is a way to use the media folder with both OSX and Windows, however you have to have the drive formatted with windows NTFS and use something like Seagates NTFS for Mac program. If you buy a Seagate GoFlex Drive it comes ready formatted with the software on board to install on your mac, then anything saved on the drive will be readable from both OS.
    I use a couple of these drives for just that purpose very successfully, unfortunately I haven't come across an alternative to buying the Seagate drive.
    Hope this helps.

  • External Hard drives Mac OS and Windows

    I have a question on external hard drives. I am looking for an external drive that will work with both my Mac and Windows xp pro. I remember that Mac used to be able to read windows format but not vise versa. I know that thumb drives switch back and forth with no problem but it seems that hard drives do not. I went to the store and was told and the boxes state that the windows drives must be reformatted to work with Mac and the WD Mac drive said that it must be reformatted to work in Windows, (as I expected). Is this something new between the OS's or something to do with the drive sizes? Any help would be appreciated as I would like to be able to move large files, usually movies, between the two formats by simply moving the external drive from one to the other.
    Thank you

    If you reformat that flash drive to use +Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)+, it will probably work. But then, you would not be able to use it on the Windows PC (until you reformatted it again).
    then probably the best option although more expensive will be to buy an ethernet drive and connect to my router.
    Or maybe you can do a direct transfer from PC to Mac or Mac to PC over wired Ethernet, and put the extra storage drive on the Mac or PC, formatted to be optimal for the respective connected OS. If your PC has gigabit Ethernet (and your router is has gigabit ports), it should be fairly fast. Make sure the cables are rated Cat-5e or better.
    Wow another Power Mac 8100 user who added a G3 card to it.
    Still a machine that is set up and runs fine, for using my old Mac OS 9 programs. I bought mine used after it was already a few years old, but it was used as my primary Mac longer than any other machine before or since. It stayed relevant for a long long time.

  • Partition Table Looks Different Between OSX and Windows 7

    Hey all,
    I recently replaced the hard drive on my 2007 iMac, going from the 320GB drive to a 1 TB drive. It actually worked! The previous drive was failing in very odd ways, though booting into the Windows side (more on dual boot later) always seemed to work, and S.M.A.R.T. always reported that the physical drive seemed OK.
    The previous drive (320 GB) had around 200GB devoted to OSX and 100GB partitioned off for a working Windows 7 installation (custom installed x64 Win7 Ultimate). I had the Windows system image backed up to my NAS, and had a Windows system bootable disc to restore that image.
    After replacing the drive (and almost crying that I had actually done it right), I first restored OSX from a Time Machine backup, and let it take the full 1TB of space as Journalled HFS+. Then, I used Disk Utility to shrink OSX down to 500GB, and created a second partition (formatted to NTFS) with the remaining 500GB.
    Now, restoring a Windows system image is an odd thing, as it tries to do a lot of partition work as opposed to simply restoring the Windows install to a partition. I tried Macrium Reflect first (made a backup in that, too), and it looked like it was going to let me restore to the second partition. It completed the restore...and the entire hard drive was hosed. Partitions had been moved, renamed, resized, and nothing was bootable. I had to use Recovery from an external USB thumb drive to go back to the single, full-drive install of OSX.
    Then I tried again. Made the second NTFS partition and used the basic Windows System Restore disk to restore from the standard system image I had on the NAS. I was not expecting this to work. But it did. Windows started showing up in Startup Manager when "option" was pressed on bootup, and both OSX and Windows booted properly and ran fine. This is where I (finally) get to the supreme oddities:
    OSX Disk Utility still reports two 500GB partitions, one for OSX and one for Windows.
    In OSX the Windows partition shows as having NO DATA on it. Not sure what would happen if I tried to write a file to it when mounted, but there is no data on it when viewed from OSX (I was always able to see the Windows files when I mounted that partition on the previous drive).
    The Windows partition does not show up as a valid bootable system in System Prefs --> Startup Disk (naturally, I suppose, since OSX doesn't think there is anything there).
    From the WINDOWS side, Windows still sees the old partition table: 200GB for the "unknown" HFS partition, and then the rest of the space can be devoted to Windows (started as 100GB, but I was ablt to expand it to use the remaining ~750GB!).  Windows thinks it can have 750GB of space even though I know its partition is only 500GB in size!
    Windows cannot see the OSX HFS partition data using HFSExplorer. It CAN see the HFS partition on the attached backup drive (the drive I use for Time Machine).
    GParted (a partition program on a Linux bootabld CD-ROM) shows the same partitions as OSX Disk Utility (2x500GB), and also thinks the Windows NTFS partition is empty (all space reports as "unused").
    Did I mention both OSX and Windows work fine???
    There are, of course, two other partitions on the drive: the first partition is the 200MB one I always see (EFI/GUID portion?), and then between the HFS and NTFS partitions is the 600MB recovery partition (which also shows at option-pressed boot time). OSX, GParted, and Windows see all four partitions, and in the same order. It is just that Windows sees the wrong sizes, and OSX cannot see any data in the Windows partition.
    Surely this is all going to break spectacularly at some point, isn't it? What if I ever did write a file to the Windows side from OSX, or what if OSX starts taking more space than the 200GB Windows thinks is the max for that partition? What if I try to make Windows use more than 500GB because it thinks it has almost 800GB to use? What if I defrag the Windows drive?
    I had no idea a partition table could look this goofy and yet still have everything be bootable and workable. Is there something I can do to get everything in sync? Basically, I am assuming I need to get Windows to do some low-level kung fu in Disk Manager in order to properly get everything lined up with the "right" partitions as reported by both GParted and OSX Disk Utility. But how do I do that?
    By the way, any ideas that totally nuke the drive and start from scratch are completely fine (if it seems like they are doing something different enough that I'd give it a try). I have good backups of both OSX and Windows and have restored them about a half dozen times already as I dealt with the previous failing hard drive and with trying to get dual-boot working again. Not to mention, this iMac is now my secondary machine to the new Mac Mini I got a couple weeks back when I wasn't sure how much more life I was going to get from this 6+ year old iMac.
    Thanks for listening to me ramble about this very odd issue, and a huge THANK YOU in advance to anyone who has ideas to help.
    Thanks,
    sutekh138

    Update:
    I am pretty sure the issue is a simple GPT/MBR discrepancy.
    I installed rEFIt and used it's partitioning tool (gptsync built in) upon bootup. It was able to show the GPT table and the MBR table, but it thinks the second partition of the drive (the Mac OSX bootable partition) is "extended" in the MBR table and says "will not touch this disk."
    However, it does look like an MBR sync should be straightforward, as there four partitions in the GPT table and four in the MBR (and MBR allows a max of four, AFAIK). I just need gptsync to relax some rules. I found a link to a supposedly newer version of gptsync compiled for OSX, so I will try that later.
    First, I will try Partition Wizard, a free tool I found for the Windows side. It has a "Repair MBR" option that I would have tried last night if I weren't running a new Windows Image Backup in case all of this goes haywire.  *smile*  The PW tool also has an option to change the MBR over to GPT entirely. That might work, but then I am not sure Windows 7 will boot (from what I read, x64 Win7 running on EFI-enabled hardware should work, but who knows).
    Anyway, I will try the following things, in order, until something works, when I get home tonight:
    From Windows, run Partition Wizard and try "Repair MBR".
    From OSX, download recent gptsync and try to run it.
    From Windows, use Partition Wizard to do a full MBR --> GPT conversion.
    Nuke the Windows partition in OSX Disk Utility, expand the HFS partition to take up the whole drive, and then add a Windows-bootable partition via Boot Camp-ish command line commands (diskutil). Because if nothing else works, I have to assume I just created the partitions wrong in the first place such that a Windows restore miraculously works, but the partition weirdness is just a timebomb waiting to happen.
    Finally, if none of the above work, I'll just get things back to the way they now work and wait for the timebomb to (possibly never) go off.  *smile*
    I'll update this thread if I get something figured out, in case anyone else stumbles upon it...
    Thanks,
    sutekh138
