Hi John,

There are several reasons why you are having issues accessing the pictures on your 2 external hard drives. To isolate the issue, kindly answer the questions below:

• Have you tried using another USB cable on your external hard drives and see if you will still experience the same issue?
• What other troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
• Have you tried to connect your external hard drive to other computers beside your desktop PC and HP laptop?

Regards.

 

Laptop hard drive upgrade

To replace a hard drive on a laptop is a little more troublesome than a desktop. 1st as most people here suggest you will need some sort of a backup disk just in case. Also be sure when buying the new Hard Disk is compatible with your model. And i would strongly suggest you install a new system and start from scratch because there are far too many problems that can occur when transferring system files.
