• Satellite P70-A01D: change the drive letters after the 2nd SSD upgrade

  I think it's a generic UEFI / Win 8.1 question (not according to model).

  However, FWIW, I have a Satellite P70-A01D (bought locally here in Australia).

  It is a victory of 16 GB 17.3 inch Gen4 i7 4700MQ Intel HM86 8.0 64-bit RAM.
  http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/products/computers/satellite/P70/psplpa-01d002/specifications

  I updated the OS to Win 8.1

  The P70 is supplied with a drive Bay HARD vacuum #2 - I bought a 250 GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD that I want to use as the main system disk / boot Win 8.1.

  I installed this SSD in bays #2 and from there I had no problem using the wizard of Samsun cloning software provided with the SSD (VCC 4.0) to clone my 1 TB on the SSD system.

  There are a lot of instructions from Samsun and around the web on how to clone and "substitute" of a HDD with a SSD - however there are much less when it comes to 'Add' the SSD - in the #2 Bay - while always keeping the original HDD fully functional as an additional drive.

  After execution of the cloning software, I tried just go into the settings of the UEFI on reboot and change the order of the boot drive placing the SSDS over HARD drive.

  It worked but there are obviously questions still as I had not renamed readers SSD worked as system but he was editing as D: and HARD drive was still C: and most of the system/application paths were always scheduled to access C:!

  It led to the crash and restart cycles of the Bureau (? & or explorer.exe?) and two consistent error messages:
  -"SkyDrive engine Sync host has stopped working".
  -"Host for the synchronization setting process has stopped working".

  I saw in the Control Panel-Administrative Tools-Computer Management-Online Storage-online-online right click on each drive disk management online online that I can access > however
  (a) I'm not sure if the solution I need is this simple;
  (b) nervous about change of letter on a disk while running the system; and
  (C) uncertain steps in order of evolution [IE. C: (non - sys) becomes M; D: (sys) becomes C:...

  At the moment via UEFI I'm back to working with the system on the HARD disk rather than on the SSD seems stable and without compromise of my screwing around!

  Apologies for the long post by train to make sure to include all relevant information. I think that my final goal is double win bootable 8.1 / Ubuntu 12.04 of the SSDS probably with Ubuntu on a 50 GB partition leaving 200 GB (enough?). I want to keep a slab of SSD space available for photo and video editing: +/-100 GB!

  I wondered simply assign new letters to readers, however the notes at the bottom of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows7/change-add-or-remove-a-drive-letter state:

  You cannot change a drive letter if the drive is a system partition or a boot partition.

  Suggestions please?

  Hello

  I think you could try to change the letter to readers as suggested in the Microsoft article.
  Where this is not possible, try to use 3rd party such as GParted software.
  http://gparted.org/LiveUSB.php

  You could try changing the drive letters might start to the top of the unit using the live USB version.
  But it might be possible that your system would not initialize correctly after this change.

  So you should not forget to mark the partition as bootable.

  Your comments would be appreciated

• The specific letters are not available under Windows 7 drive letters

  1.) bought a new computer - a Windows 7.

  2.) proposed two hard drives from my old computer to the new computer.

  Each 1.5 TB drive has a single NTFS partition.

  (3.) I want to use the same drive letters, I used to have for these two partitions: Z: and G:

  Z: assigning to any readers was no problem.

  Assigning G: the other drive is impossible: Windows simply does not present G: as one of the options.  Available drive letters are ABEFMNOPQSTUVW.    The letters of drive in use are

  C (the primary partition on the new hard drive in original)

  D (DVD player)

  F (one of the hard drive from the old computer has moved new computer)

  L (USB HDD)

  R (mapped to profile just to keep simple traces, make it easy to find in the Solution Explorer, etc.).

  Z (one of the hard drives from the old computer has moved new computer)

  Even if I unplug the USB stick, unplug Z and don't map r: whereupon, letter G ever becomes available for anything.  I can change F to an easily - available drive letter and return to F - but I can't change it to G.

  How G in the drop-down list with all the other available drive letters?  By the way, where the hell are I, J and K?

  How G in the drop-down list with all the other available drive letters?  By the way, where the hell are I, J and K?

  The computer has a multi card reader? If so, they probably use these drive letters.

  To show empty drives:
  1. open Windows Explorer.
  2. click on organize.
  3. click on folder and Search Options and click the view tab.
  4. uncheck the hide drives empty in the computer folder, and then click OK.

  Check if it shows the missing disks and you can now assign.

• Is it possible to generate scripts the assignment of drive letters, such as the computer will remember each reader the same way with every new beginning?

  * Original title: Windows 7 - letters card readers

  I have a laptop computer when it is in a dock, it will have two hard drives connected.  It will also in most cases, a USB flash drive connected in and out of the dock.

  These discs are used for the back to the top of file transfer and I always wish to have the same assigned to them to drive letters.

  When I was with Windows XP, the computer remembered the mapping and each player has been located at the same place every time.  However, now I've upgraded to Windows 7 and is not only the computer remember the drive letter every time, it disconnects regularly readers.

  My question is: is there a way to the assignment of drive letters, such as the computer will remember each script will travel the same with every new beginning?

  I can live with it disconnect readers, but it is precisely an effort to use disk management to change the drive letter for each reader, whenever a re-start of your computer.

  You are aware that usb keys are not designed to stay connected on the start or stop, because there is a possibility of resulting corrupt file

• How to re - assign drive letters to partitions before installing XP?

  I would like to re - adversely affect permanent drive letters for the existing partitions on a hard drive that has been used for data storage only (i.e. I want to keep the partitions), then install XP.  How can I re - assign the drive letters for the partitions?

  Hello

  I just put one of my XP (bootable) disk in another one of my XP machines. The reader, before he was transferred, with C, E and Z scores. He was placed in a PC that had C and F partitions on a single drive hard but also taking over the letter E for the optical drive.

  After insertion, the partition on the changed drive letters as follows...

  C to D

  E to H

  Z to G

  Just for the acid test, while only inserted in the other PC, I changed the G (formerly Z) to Y.

  Then I replaced the drive in his PC original and started again. Partition letters were returned to what they were before the transfer took place, i.e., C, E and Z.

  What makes that to demonstrate that the drive letters do not move with a disc, they are assigned by Windows, at the time of the first detection of this particular operating system and remain like that for this particular operating system, possibly modified in another PC.

  Of this, you'll see suggestions to change the partition letter in another PC won't work.

  It seems that you have partitioning software at your disposal, so what I would suggest you do is the following.

  These instructions assume that you have an OEM installation of Windows CD, IE. not the manufacturer recovery media to perform the installation. The manufacturer recovery media is likely to format the entire disk (including all your data partitions) before installing Windows.

  Firstly back up all important data.

  Re-label all existing singlepartitions. This will help you determine what Windows Setup detects when you go through the installation of bulkheads treat.

  Secondly, to create a space at the beginning of the training, large enough for the new OS to move/resize existing partitions. Then create a new partition in this space at the beginning of the disk, label it unique and make it active. Check that it is the active partition only. Hide all other partitions, leaving the new partition at the beginning of the disc as the only visible and active partition.

  Disconnect a card reader and make sure that none of the external hard drives, memory sticks etc are attached and start the Windows installation CD.

  If all goes well, the Windows installation will see your new partition on the C drive, and you can install Windows.

  Once Windows has successfully installed you can install and use your partitioning software to display the hidden partitions. Windows should assign the letters unused in alphabetical order beginning with E (or F if you have two optical drives). You can change these letters if you want, but you have to leave within the newly created OS, and not in another PC. Your partitioning software probably has this installation or use disk management as described previously by Nithyananda J, i.e. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307844

• External drive letters do not mount properly.

  Hi all, here is one for you.

  I have Western Digital external storage drives, I plug it on and use that I need different things.

  One of these if my software (Memeo) backup on a 500G drive.

  I've marked these drives so I know which ones are connected.

  It seems that Memeo is stuck seeing the drive letter (H in order to run backups here.)

  It's ok, but for some reason when I connect this drive to backup on the machine, it is no longer happens as (H.)

  He always default (I have and I can't it will come up with (H.))

  I realize that this all depends on which order that plug you into the discs.

  Note: I have an another external WD 4 TB of video storage and I noticed that this seems to be required on the (H car (or so it seems) adjustment.)  Event with this player not connected not I can't get any player to come as (H, but as soon as I plug the video storage disk (H appears on the right.))

  My question: is there a way to 'flush' or 'clear' this setting to hold somewhere on it.  Or do you have other ideas?

  I'm under Win 8.1 on a HP Pavilion Notebook of Ent.

  Thanks in advance,

  Change/assign letters to drive manually using disk management. Or at least the video player. Plug it, go to the management of records, right click on the drive and select "change drive letter and path. Choose a path of letter Z same key string, maybe. If the backup drive is not given then H, repeat the process and give it the drive letter permanent h.

  Make Disk Management-press the Windows key and x. easily choose disk management from the list.

• Static drive letters

  I'm under Arcserver UDP as my backup software. I have Windows Server R2 2012. I am trying to assign the same drive letter to two external drives, whereas when I'm running late at night, I won't be able to enter and change the drive letter that the software records the back up. I tried to go through the Disk Manager tool and it won't let me assign drive letters, but he won't let me assign the same drive letter to 2 different disks. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

  If Windows was installed on a partition C: drive and cloned the drive with two partition v.

  Windows must change the letters if a player is off arrangement.

  the clone is an exact copy from where it comes.

• Static drive letters are not retained when you restart

  I assign drive letters static for two CD-ROM drives on my system - v and w:

  Whenever the system is restarted, it 'forgets' static CD-ROM drive letters and assigns its own, which means an external HARD drive gets the wrong letter of drive and screw to the top of my backup arrangements.

  It started in the last few weeks, although I'm not sure what I did to make it.  The system is Windows XP Home SP3, kept up to date, including the last batch of August 2010 patches.

  I had a Windows startup internal defective HARD drive about a month ago, I replaced after the cloning of one defective on the new drive.

  Change drive letter must be done in diskmgmt.msc in msc, L.click

  on a disc, go to actions, all, select 'Change the letter of the drive/path', change the letter...

  However, don't forget that xp by default uses "D" as his letter for any installation cdrom.

  V & W for the cdrom will cease installation & other problems. The change of

  that must be done in REGEDIT... HKEY/LOCAL/MACHINE/software/microsoft/windows /.

  Then, open Configuration & change letter as needed...

• How drive letters are assigned to external drives and file path names?

  How drive letters are assigned to external drives and file path names? MyBook is a drive letter (M) when it is connected to my desktop computer and another letter (L) when it is connected to my husbands office, USB key has the same letter, no matter what usb port is used. Is the letter assigned when the file is created and does not change? or is it to the port to which it is connected to? in what computer?

  Each computer assigns the player to the first drive letter not used in alphabetical order.  It makes no difference what port it connects to.

  Missing drive letters in Windows 7

  In Windows 7, multiple drive letters are not available to map network drives.  e: by j: are missing.  How can I fix?

• Media Player 12 does not recognize removable media (drive letters, sd cards, compact flash, usb, android phones drives) as a synchronized device. Running under 7 64-bit.

  Tried and tried to make it work. According to announcements of Microsoft on removable media, you can synchronize however every time I try to get Media Player 12 to sync it search devices and just empty. I have connected devices and they have drive letters in Windows Explorer. I even clicked on the link 'open as a portable device' in Windows Explorer and then went back to media player and it doesn't. I can open whatever music is on the device in the file menu in media player. In mp 11 I could synchronize throughout the day with my removable devices. I just thought they had disabled this feature until I read that you're supposed to be able to do. I connected my Samsung Captivate as memory mass and tried as well, but obviously missed. I plugged as an MTP device and in Windows Explorer, the Autoplay option is "Sync digital media files to this device using Windows Media Player". So I think this will be a safe work, I try several times, restart the computer and the phone. Recognized again in Windows Explorer, everything seems like there should be no driver issue, but Media Player still does not recognize my camera! Help!

  Update: I left a removable USB enclosure to connect for three years and a half hours. I've forgotten about it with media player running, came back and noticed, it was listed as a device in media player. So it looks like you could synchronize this right? FAKE! I dragged music to synchronize with it and the sync button is grayed. A lot of space on the device. Well, what about MP now recognizes the drive, I'll unplug the unit and then plug it back in and maybe will correct some glitch MP knows. Wrong again! New MP can't find the device! I thought that software/computers were supposed to get faster not taking 3.5 hours to connect a device and then maybe someday in the future, you can synchronize your device. But at this point don't still no luck. I just thought that Microsoft has decided to get rid of the features within the MP to synchronize removable devices because I could never get this far until reading last night it is supposed to work with key cards, usb sd and removable media. After having no luck in getting MP to reconnect to my USB stick, I erased the cache device thinking that would help, but no, he didn't.

  Another update: when I connect my phone as a MTP device, AutoPlay rises and there is an option to synchronize with Windows Media Player. When I click on this option, MP opens and then said: "searching for devices" and never find the "SGH-I897" (Samsung Captivate). Anyway if I go up as mass storage or the DPW Windows device sees and I can move the files, but cannot get the Media Player to find it or recognize it! It should be simple enough for where Windows Media Player should be.

  It worked for me, once put into automatic I clicked on the Start button and the rebooted enumerator. I restarted WMP and there was my flash drive in the synchronization domain.

  Thank you!!
