my external hard drive works in only my laptop and is not detecting in other laptops..... please help me... so that my hard drive works in other laptops too.
hi there floriann software,

first of all, i would say that it is always a better idea to open up a new thread, instead of engaging in an old one.

apart from that, as the drive is recognized on other systems except for the xp one, then it comes to drivers. make sure you go to the mobo's website and update the drivers.
is the drive initialized as mbr. in case it is initialized as gpt, i would advise you to back up all the data and initialize it as mbr. win xp has some limitations on that: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2581408

cheers,

try that drive with another computer. if it doesn't work, it's probably dead. Hi,
  

  
Try to use HDD Regenerator, it is free for the first bad sector, sometimes that happen due to hard drive failure in the PCB (board) or due to excessive heat inside the laptop and it damage the disk, I had a lot of clients with this problem and unfortunately the most of the times, we can not recover nothing because the surface of the hard disk is really damaged, I expect you can solve your problem.

Or are you using later generic drivers from the Intel and Nvidia sites? If the latter, well, that's likely your problem. Go back and test again with drivers from your laptop vendor.

[View solution in original post](/t5/Graphics/Problem-with-Intel-UHD-Graphics-630/m-p/1227288#M91445) first try testing your RAM (goldmemory or memtest)
  

  
if the memory pass the tests try reparing your xp, if repair doesn't pass from any reason, pull your HD take it to your friend, back up the data, and reinstall OS that is where i'd start as well. osi...
so:
1. physical link (maybe check the patch panel and the cabling that's involved in connecting to the computer, maybe swap cables and try a usb to ethernet adapter to rules the nic out.
2. data link - check the switches and switchports on the way. maybe try to use different portts
3. network - most likely not an issue if all the other computers are working fine...
etc.
but this is pretty much it: Try to xcopy the data over to the external drive.



start>run>type "cmd">hit ok  

In dos window type "xcopy /?" this will show you all of the parameters or switchs used in xcopy.



If you are not famaliar with dos you may want to seek out a friend who is. This is a chicken and egg problem. No drive, cd/dvd won't work. You either need to get an external drive, or have someone write it to a USB thumb drive that your system can boot from. > Hello. I have an HP Pavilion 4500 laptop and it won't turn on. I've tried everything to get it to turn back on. There are no flashes or beeps or anything when I hit the power button. Also, before all this came up, my charger wasn't charging correctly. It would turn on then turn off repeatedly. Then one day, my laptop shut off and didn't come back on anymore. I haven't been on my laptop in about 4-5 months now. Could someone please tell me what might be wrong with my laptop?

you havent used it in almost half a year!!!! get yourself a correct charging unit for it that works properly and charge it. leave it out in a warm spot for a day before hand though. it sounds like its gotten very cold internally and also all the battery power has seeped away to nothing. this happens with rechargable batteries after a while. of course you wont get anything when you've got a dead battery. sounds like the charger you have already may be defective or your current battery is defective at least.  

At the other end of the scale though it could be that you laptops power supply unit has become defective and maybe that has blown.  

Rule out the simplest options first of it being the charger or battery. if theres no joy take it down to a local computer engineer and get them to have a look. be prepared to spend a little dosh on it.



btw what r your laptop specs?? might help us.:D Do you have a laptop or desktop?


If its a desktop, do you have integrated (part of the motherboard) or discrete (card plugged into a slot in motherboard)  

networking controller?


Ususally Fedora (at least for the past several years) has had great support for ethernet controllers right 'out of the box'.


Have you used this particular machine with other operating systems and had the internet work correctly through through ethernet?


Did you create the Fedora bootable media yourself? Did you install Fedora yourself? Did you have the computer connected to the router through the ethernet cable while you did the install?


If you have a discrete networking card, you might need unusual drivers that the Fedora live media did not have.


If you did make the live media yourself, did you check the .iso file integrity before writing it?


Are other computers on the same network able to access the internet?
