i have a Hitachi external USB hard disk 320 GB it was working fine at may laptop but when i tried using it with the computer ; the windows cannot detect the USB Drive . i tried it with 2 computer . but its still the same .pleas help i badly need my files

it is the letter or name assigned to the partition of your harddrive

What are you trying to do or accomplish? Are you wanting to format it, access the data on it, or something else? Have you tried formattting it?

Does "to partitions" actually mean "2 partitions" or "two partitions" instead?

It might help if you stated how the drive got in that condition.

Hi,

The trick with the PS3 is that the HDD must be in FAT32 format. Most External drives nowadays are shipped preformatted using the NTFS file system.

You will have to convert the current partition or a portion of it to FAT32 to allow the PS3 to see it.

You will need a PC to do this on

HDD Partitioning Tool : http://visopsys.org/files/partlogic/partlogic-0.69-iso.zip
Manual : http://partitionlogic.org.uk/manual/index.html

Have not used this particular product myself yet, but it should be quite easy if you follow the steps in the manual.

Usually.. You connect the drive to the external enclosure, and plug it into a spare USB socket.
If the drive is new and unformatted, go into Disk manager and format it.
I dont know what you are trying to register

Your backup was probably on the hard drive. All computer manufactor went to that years ago. My suggestion is to go to your computer manufactor website and download the driversyou need for your computer.

Hard Disks are generally VERY fragile, especially the external drives simply because the read/write head inside is a very tiny substance. your case suggests that when it dropped, the read/write head might have got broken, and which means....you might have to get a new one. BUT in a very rare case however..you can do a funny and pretty nice trick, just get another one of the same type (Exactly the same type), then get A Very Good Engineer, and tell him to help you to transfer the read/write head to the former one, just for the purpose of retriving your datas...then return everything back to its normal place. HE HAS TO BE VERY CAREFUL THOUGH!!!, so as not to damage the two hard disks!
(How I wish I could be there to fix it for you, cos I've done it A LOT before...lol).
Hope this solves your problem.

If you plug it in and it does not appear, it may be choosing the wrong drive letter.
If that drive letter is already in use it will not appear.

Open the start menu, right click on my computer, then choose manage.
Select (on the left) Disk Management.

If it appears in there.
Find the thumbdrive in the list and right-click and choose 'Assign a new drive letter' . Make it like M or somthing far down in the alphabet.

If that does not appear under the disk management then the disk might be physically damaged.

An urban myth (which does sometimes work) includes putting the drive in the freezer for a day or so.

Also remember it might be somthing as simple as a bad cable or port on the computer. Try to access it with a new cable from a diffrent computer.

You should be able to buy an external USB drive (or thumb drive) at any electronics store. You can connect a USB hard disk drive or USB memory stick to your TV by using the USB inputs of the TV. This feature allows you to play files stored in a USB drive. 2.5" and 3.5" inch (hdd with external power supply) external hard disk drives are supported. IMPORTANT! You should back up your files before making any connections to the TV set in order to avoid any possible data loss. Manufacturer will not be responsible for any file damage or data loss. It is possible that certain types of USB devices (e.g. MP3 Players) or USB hard disk drives/memory sticks may not be compatible with this TV. Quickly plugging and unplugging USB devices, is a very hazardous operation. Do not repeatedly quickly plug and unplug the drive. This may cause physical damage to the USB player and USB device itself. Do not pull out USB module while playing a file. Media Browser Menu You can play photo, music, and movie files stored on a USB disk by connecting it to your TV and using the Media Browser screen. To do this, perform the following: Connect a USB disk to one of the USB inputs located on the side of the TV. You can connect two USB devices to your TV. If both USB devices include music, picture or video files, USB selection OSD will be displayed on the screen. The first USB device connected to the TV will be named as USB Drive1. Select a device by using up or down arrows and press OK
