What to do if your external hard drive does not show in my computer

Easy to FIX
Right click on my computer
Choose MANAGE
Then find DISK MANAGEMENT
You should see your ext hard drive under the list.
Right click on it, and choose CHANGE DRIVE LETTER
Choose anything, but I recommand something higher than M:


I’ve seen this problem with alot of STORAGE DEVICE

It happen more often with Laptop because they usually have Card reader.
So it makes couple drives like e:, f:, g:.
Storage device tries to install themself with the drive letter next to CDROM
c: – HD1
d: – HD2 or CDROM
e: – Mass storage device (maybe for card readers)
So your external HD tries to have the E: drive (probably a bug)

5 Tips for Using Windows 8.1 Like a Boss

Windows 8.1 has been one of the most-maligned operating systems in recent memory, and, in my opinion, much of what’s been written about it has been misguided, unfair, and just plain wrong.

The piling-on Microsoft has experienced in the rollout of its new operating system just goes to illustrate the weakness of the technology journlism field. As a tech journalist, I have some advice for tech fans: Don’t rely blindly on tech journalists�try it for yourself! Most tech journalists are concerned with one thing: getting lots of page views. And they know that one sure-fire technique is to take a scathing, negative attitude. I even recently saw a tip-list article telling tech journalists how to up their page views, one of which was simply “Be negative.” I would link the article, but its title doesn’t meet PCMag’s family-friendly standards.

The number-one whipping boy for this sort of click-bait negativity is Microsoft. Perhaps it’s payback for the company’s 90s-era monopolistic shenanigans or for some of its technology misfires�Vista, the Kin phone, the Zune…the list goes on, admittedly. But it’s clear to me that the even slickest, best executed, most technologically brilliant, most cost effective product, software, or service, if associated with the name “Microsoft,” would still manage to find an army of detractors.
Another factor is that the press exaggerates everything. New York wasn’t as dangerous in the 90s as the then mass media would have the world believe: I lived there for the entire decade, riding the subway at all times, and was the victim of just a single failed attempt at pickpocketing during that whole supposedly scary era. The press is an echo chamber that magnifies everything, especially when there’s fear involved. And what could be scarier for computer users than an OS paradigm shift?
Which brings me to Windows 8. With its latest operating system, Microsoft has tried to do something that hasn’t been done before�create hybrid system software that’s equally at home on a tablet as a desktop or laptop PC. And doesn’t that make sense? If you could have just one device, a powerful tablet that could do absolutely everything that a desktop computer could, wouldn’t you want that?
Again, despite everything you’ve heard, Windows 8 is not hard to use�once you’ve got just a few new habits under your belt. Here’s my cheat sheet on how to run Windows 8 and 8.1 like a boss, so that you’ll never want to look back to Windows 7 or, gasp, the more-than-a-decade-old XP. All this is not to say that you will feel instantly at home with Windows 8, so don’t expect to race around it the first time you try it. But after some exploration and familiarization, you may just find that it offers a superior computing experience.
1. Think of the tiled Start page as a full-screen Start button. Because that’s exactly what it is. Just as with the old Start button, you can simply start typing to show programs that begin with the letters you type, and launch them without having to scroll across tile screens. You can customize this page to your heart’s content, grouping tiles and placing your most frequently used ones on the first page. Finally, know that tiles are not just for new-style full-screen mobile apps: Any standard Windows desktop application you’ve been using for years can also get a tile that you can place wherever you like on the Start page for easy access.
2. The Desktop is a Tile. If you worry that you want Windows to keep looking and working like Windows 7, just tap that tile on the Start screen labeled “Desktop.” You’ll right away feel at home. And there are always numerous was to quickly get back to the Start screen from anything you’re doing on a Windows 8.1 PC: The easiest are to just move the cursor to the lower-left corner of the screen, where the new-style Start button will appear, or tap the Windows key. If your comfort level demands it, Windows 8.1 lets you boot right to the desktop, through Control Panel’s Taskbar and Navigation Properties dialog. There you’ll also find a choice (also new in 8.1) to use the same background for Start as for the desktop.

3. Find its Charms. No matter what you’re doing on a Windows 8.1 system, you can always get to the Charms�a menu rail of buttons along the right site of the screen for major system actions like Search, Share, Start, Devices, and Settings. Just move the cursor to the top right corner and then down. (or swipe in from the right on a touch screen). One of the “adjustments” in using Windows 8.1 is that new-style apps generally use these charms�and not their own menus�for settings, search, and sharing to email or social networks. The Settings Charm is also where you’ll find the Power options, including those for shutting down and restarting.

4. Use the App Bars. No this isn’t where you get free appetizers: The app bar is a feature of just about every new-style Windows 8.1 app. To invoke it, you just right-click on the app’s screen in a mouse-and-keyboard situation, and swipe up from the bottom of the screen or down from the top on a touch tablet. Once you do this, you’ll reveal the app’s functions and options. For example, opening the app bar for Adobe’s new Revel for Windows 8 app, you’ll see buttons for Sharing the photo to Facebook, adding it to an album, or editing it.

5. Keyboard shortcuts still work. Most of Windows’ time-tested keyboard shortcuts work just as they always have: Alt-Tab to switch you among open applications, F5 refreshes the active window, Alt-F4 closes the current app, and so on. But the Windows Key is the mother of many new, useful shortcuts. Make friends with the Windows key, and you will sprint through the OS. Just tapping it switches you between your current app and the Start screen, Windows key-D takes you to the desktop, Windows key-F opens Find, and�a very handy safety tip�Windows key-L returns the PC to the lock screen.
A full list of Windows 8.1 shortcuts is on this support page. One key combo most people may want to avoid, however, is Windows key-Enter, which starts the Narrator reading everything on screen endlessly; stopping this requires the not-very-intuitive Caps+Esc key combo. The screenshot here shows just a small sampling of these Windows-key shortcuts.

How to use pendrive as ram memory in windows 7 & 8

Hi friends, Do you know Windows 7 / 8 and Windows vista comes with a ready boost option.
Q-What is ready boostAns- “ReadyBoost is a disk cache component of Microsoft Windows, first introduced with Microsoft’s Windows Vista in 2006 and bundled with Windows 7 in 2009. It works by using flash memory, a USB flash drive,SD card, Compact  Flash, external hard drive or any kind of portable flash mass storage

system as a cache. ReadyBoost is also used to facilitate SuperFetch, which allows it to perform analysis of boot-time disk usage patterns and creates a cache which is used in subsequent system boots.” Source
If you are using a high configuration PC, It doesn’t show any effect on speed because if you are a normal user I think only a few times you use your full ram memory but if you are using an old pc with low ram memory(Like 512 MB or IGB) and harddisk & using vista or 7. It speed up your PC and you will see the result, reduced application data loading time, reduced shutdown and restart time and many more you can’t imagine without High ram memory.

How to use this feature

  • Plug in your pendrive
  • Format with NTFS or FAT32
  • Now go to properties
  • Select ReadyBoost
  • Check Use this device
  • Choose maximum space to reserve system speed
  • Click on Apply and OK. 

Your readyboost PenDrive is ready Now to Use.

Here is an personal suggestion HP and Sandisk is the Best for this work so what are you waiting for.
