Your external hard drive appears on your computer all right but you cannot access it?
I would try to connect the device to another computer to make sure its not just your computer. If both computers cannot see the data there is most likely damage to the FAT (file allocation table) and/or boot record or the transport hardware in the external enclosure is going bad. If you can physically remove the harddrive from the enclosure and directly connect to a motherboard, that may be another alternative. If all this fails, you may have to contact a data recovery company or try recovering data with a freeware data recovery program (or buy one)
Which Windows programs would you use to manage folders and files?

How do you recover a folder deleted from the computer?
re-install the hiding software. Each program uses their own unique software to encript data. You cannot use another program to "Unhide" data that another program has encripted. Now, if you simply made the file hidden through windows. Open windows explorer "Windows Button + E" Click tools>Options Select folder options then click show hidden files and folders. Then browse to the last place you had the file. That's the best advice I can give.... Hope this helps!
How do you copy files using ommand prompt?
Depends on which operating system you are using and whether you want to copy more than one file.
In DOS/Windows command prompt "c:\copy xxxx /destination_folder/"
if more than one file you can use "c:\copy xxx.* /destination_folder/"
Xcopy has more options (verify, copy subdirectories ..) and is used "c:\xcopy xxx* /s /destination_folder/"
In Unix/Linux/OSX cp is the command for copying
as in "#darkstar$cp -R *.txt /destination_folder/"
cp has a lot more option than xcopy but you will need to type either "cp --help" or "man cp" to get the best of cp's actions.

How do you fix printer spooler error message?

What is Spooler error?
Spooling is a computer technique wherein data is transferred temporarily so that it can be accessed and processed later. Since data is processed at different speeds, it is useful in slower processes to provide a waiting area for other jobs while it is still trying to read the current batch of information. It's especially important in printers because this is actually the only means through which the computer communicates.
The following information will provide a better understanding of spooler error

- Variation of printer spooler error
Symptoms of spooler error
Tell-tale signs of a printer spooler error include system freezes, high CPU usage and print queues that don't let you print or delete a job. It is a very serious error that should be resolved at once.
Resolving printer spooler error
There are several ways to resolve printer spooler error, probably because there are many variations of this error. The error caused by faulty software can be resolved by deleting all the information found in the directory. Thereafter, navigate to the Control Panel, click on Administrative Tools and then services icon. Find the service labeled Print Spooler, highlight it and restart the process. If that doesn't work, the program might be corrupted. Click on start, then Run. Search for the document labeled services.msc, and this will trigger the opening of another window. On this window, scroll down and click "Print Spooler". Check its setting and turn on automatic mode. Click Okay, and restart the machine. If you're lucky, this might be all you have to do. Still doesn't work? Navigate to the Add/Remove Programs screen of the Control Panel. Find the all the software responsible for making the printer run including the drivers, and uninstall them. Be sure to be thorough about it, or the problem may not be solved. Download the latest copy of your Printer's software from the manufacturer and reinstall it.

How do you install a hi-speed USB host controller on a Windows XP computer?
For the most part, the High Speed USB controller will be integrated right onto the motherboard of your system. You will sometimes run into this problem when upgrading to or installing a new version of XP, for sometimes it does not readily have the drivers available. What you have to do is to actually find out the motherboard that you have in your system, and download, or request the CD, that has the motherboard resources on it, in order to get Windows to install that particular controller. If you have a name brand computer, you should be able to contact the manufacturer to get the CD or download. However, if you have built the system, or someone else has built you the system, you will need the CD that came with the motherboard. Yes. If you have an empty PCI bus slot on the PC motherboard, you an install a PCI card which provides you 2 or 4 USB2.0 ports which are available at around $10. There are some combo cards which provide both USB and Firewire (1394 ports).
How do I know if my computer has windows xp?
The easiest way to figure this out on a running computer is to press the Windows key, hold it and then also press the pause key so that they are held down at the same time. That takes you to system properties and tells you at the top of the page whether you have it or something else.
Another way, like if your machine is dead, it to look is to see if there is a certificate of authenticity label attached to the PC, and that the label says it has XP. That doesn't always mean anything, since XP could have been removed.
If the machine in question has a multiple boot screen coming up, it might say it has XP on the list of choices. Then if you select it and it works you would know. If not, then you might want to either repair the XP installation or finish removing its remnants.

It can be changed and the user is free to save a file wherever they want to if they don't want it to go to the default folder, so there is no single answer to the question.
