  1. External HDD is recognized but cannot be viewed on the windows explorer


    Hi,


    I need help with my Externeal HDD (seagate 1TB), I havent used my HDD for more than a month now.


    When i plug it in, it lights up, reconized on the task bar on the lower right but I cannot access it through explorer or see the files stored inside. (I have previously used this HDD on my laptop)


    Tried checking it inside the device manager and i can see it there under Disk Drivers - device is up to date and "Device is working properly"


    Thanks in advance for the help, i really need the files stored inside my HDD.

    :)

    Windows Explorer crashes whenever I open my external HDD or thumb drive in explorer..

    Windows Explorer crashes whenever I open my external HDD or thumb drive in explorer..

    So, I open up My Computer, open my F Drive and boom: "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and must close". It is really annoying! I am fine everywhere else in explorer, but something just screws up when I try the external HDD (USB) or my thumb drive.

    Can anyone help?

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
