My SIMPLETECH 160GB SIMPLEDRIVE PORTABLE HARD DRIVE is not reconized by windows 7,8 10 or xp. can i open the case and install it into my tower

Yes, but you will most likely need an adapter to adapt the 2.5" drive to a 3.5" drive slot. Additionally, if you wish to keep it as an external drive and suspect/confirm it is the enclosure that is causing the problem, you can purchase 2.5" drive enclosures pretty cheaply.

cords are just copper connectors covered by plastic insulation the bits that count are what is on the ends so if the end connections are the same , it will work

Can't open external hard drive.

Hi, not sure about this one, you could try looking at the external hard drive, it should have small connoctors at rear, near power cables, the conectors should be configured for a "slave", if its wrong, computer is trying to look for opperating system, and cant, pannicks, & sulks. The external drive should now come up, d: or e: or f: or h: or whatever! Hope this helps.

Have connected a SimpleTech drive to MAC via USB and windows backup files are shown. I would like to recover Pic files out of the backup and place them on my MAC. Is there any easy way to do this?

You might have to restore the backup files from on your Windows machine, then drop/drag photos to a new folder. Windows and Mac's use different filing systems, so Mac's are unable to read the Windows backup file format.

Dropped Hitachi HD

WOW! Really painful! CREATE a "backup" folder on your GOOD drive first. Try this... YOU are trying to get your Hitachi drive to boot and READ! So PLACE your Hitachi Drive in GIVEN position and RETRY booting each time... VERTICAL (connectors UP).. then connectors down. Will it boot and ACCESS? Try PC board UP, etc, etc... EVERY position you can think of... REBOOTING each time you re-position... Hopefully ONE of those positions WILL allow you to ACCESS your Hitachi!! As soon as you can, SAVING your most important things first. IF ALL ELSE FAILS... Take a look at the photo below... See the chrome 'arm' above the stacked disk(s)? You want to BANG the disk into your palm and hopefully 'free' that "arm" to access your drive again freely! Amigo ~ THIS IS a last resort... But finally ~ it is written on the Pyramid Walls... BACK IT UP! Anthony drive-jekgp1zrad54h2e1ud0shnw3-2-0.jpg

96300 400001 001

I have used CCLEANER for many years and never had a problem. That does not mean someone else might not. But being as you have to use CCLEANER from within Windows, it is highly unlikely you do not have a recognized file system. It kind of sounds like possibly you have CCLEANER set to open on a different drive than the one Windows is on.

I have a simpletech 250 GB external hard drive

May seem like a silly question you are not booting up computer with ext drive still plugged in are you? i am assuming your operating system is on the internal drive. if so don't have the external plugged in when you start up.
