• How to assign a drive letter on a Portable device?

  I have a Canon Digital Rebel XSi and I am on Windows 7.  I would like to have the images automatically copied to my hard drive, when I connect the camera.  When I connect the camera via USB, it shows fine in portable devices.  The problem is that the path is Computer\Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XSi.  I can't get any third-party software to recognize as a path valid (because it does not begin with something like F:\), I can find no way to get Windows 7 to assign a drive letter to the camera directly.

  Is it possible to assign a drive letter to the camera or get a third-party software to recognize Computer\Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XSi as valid a path?

• Satellite Pro U400 VISTA disk management has 6 primary partitions

  Hi all!

  I have a strange effect on my Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro U400 (but it seems not to be specific to this one that I saw the same symptoms elsewhere, at the same time):

  I had the laptop with a 320 GB drive with recovery-(invisible / "Configuration EISA", 1,46 Go) system (C:, ~ 150 GB) and data (E:, ~ 150 GB) volumes. It's the usual structure of Toshiba,

  pre-installed OS was Vista professional.

  As I plan to install Linux in addition, I have done as a result of preparations:

  Recovery disc Vista created 1.).
  2.) C: shrunk to ~ 100 GB using Vista disk management tool.
  3.) E: shrunk to Go ~ 98 using Vista disk management tool.
  It is suggested that 4.) E: directly behind C: using Parted Magic CD.

  Finally I got a 97 GB of free space at the end of the disc, and everything worked well away. Creating an additional on the free area, Vista disk management, resulted in an extended partition created by Vista. This extended partition contained the extra volume as well as the free space remaining behind.

  To prepare for installing Linux, I've finally created three logical Volumes inside the extended partition with Vista disk management tool.
  After that, I had the following structure of the partition on the disk (indicated by the Vista Disk Manager):

  invisible 1.46 GB, primary
  C:, ~ 100 GB NTFS, primary, active, System
  E:, ~ 98 GB NTFS, primary, data

  ~ 97 GB extended partition, containing:
  2 GB unformatted (planned for Linux swap)
  20 GB unformatted (planned for Linux root "/")
  21 GB unformatted (planned for Linux "/ home")
  Empty remaining 54 GB space

  More on Vista worked properly!

  Recently, I installed OpenSuse 11.1 using the volumes placed within extended partitions (user-specific configuration). The Installation worked correctly. Logical volumes have been formatted to

  2 GB of swap (swap Linux, / dev/sda5)
  20 GB ext3 (Linux root ' / ' on/dev/sda6)
  21 GB unformatted (Linux "/ home" on/dev/sda6)

  during the installation of Linux. Linux and Vista up and running with their scores. If I look at the hard drive with Linux' partitioning tool, I see three main partitions + range, as expected. The scope contains the Linux partitions + empty disk space.

  HOWEVER:
  ========

  If I look at the hard drive with the Vista disk management tool now, I get the following image:

  invisible 1.46 GB, primary
  C:, ~ 100 GB NTFS, primary, active, System
  E:, ~ 98 GB NTFS, primary, data
  2 GB PRIMARY, no format info displayed
  20 GB PRIMARY, no format info displayed
  21 GB PRIMARY, no format info displayed
  Empty remaining 54 GB space

  This means:
  VISTA DISK MANAGMENT ME PRESENT 6 PRIMARY PARTITIONS WITHOUT ANY COMPLAIN
  Although a hard drive on the PC architecture usually only supports maximum 4 primary partitions.

  Issues related to the:

  Have you ever seen a similar behavior?

  Is this a bug of presentation in the Vista disk management tool?

  Or is it a bug in formatting under Linux?

  Is there a solution for this problem?

  At present, the two BONES work very well. However, the disk will be get permanently damaged as soon as I try to create more partitions in the empty space left?

  Sincere greetings and thanks for your comments.

  Girard

  > Have you ever see similar behavior?
  NO.

  > Is this a bug of presentation in the Vista disk management tool?
  I doubt that it is a bug, I think you forgot something.

  As far as I know you can create 4 partitions on the HARD drive and this is the reason why you have the ability to create an extended partition.
  An extended partition can be divided into several logical drives.

  That is why it s wise to create a primary partition for Windows OS for example and an extended partition, which can decompose the in logical drives (partitions) different.

  However, I put t see a problem if everything works properly

• Could not load the virtual disk manager

  I am operating Windows 7 SP1. At one point, I lost the ability to use the virtual disk manager. I've scoured the web and many forums to find answers and none worked. I tried to repair windows, run sfc/scannow, etc stopping before you reinstall windows, which some people have suggested that I have many software loaded and am not sure that this will not happen again once I loaded the software again.

  It is a "backdoor" way to force launch disk management? My need is to change disks on some of the hardware devices, such as DVD players and card readers.

  Would appreciate any advice or suggestions... Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Thanks for the reply.

  Glad to know that you were able to solve the problem. Your efforts to solve this problem is appreciated. Feel free to post your request here on the Forums of Windows, we would be happy to help you.

  Thank you.

• cannot change the drive letter of the external hard drive in XP

  I bought an Iomega 1 TB external hard drive and I can not change the drive letter.  I have a click right on my computer and select manage.  When I click on disk management, it does not recognize the outside.  The weird part is that it appears in my computer and I can access the drive without problem.  I disconnected the drive of my XP machine and connected to my Vista laptop and I was able to access it through the management of the disks without problem.  Iomega support claims that it is most likely a problem with my XP machine.  Any ideas how to solve this problem?

  Hello rolandboy,

  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

  Try to use diskpart to complete the task.

  -Click Start > run > type diskpart and press enter
  -At the prompt, type list volume , press enter
  -At the prompt, type select volume 1 (where 1 is the number of the volume is the volume that you need to change the drive letter)
    -At the prompt, type assign letter = A (where A is the letter you want to assign your volume)

  Close your CMD, and you should be finished.

  Hope this helps Chris.H

• How to make a portable USB drive use the same drive letter all the time

  Original title:

  I have many removable hard drives from Toshiba.  Use them for photography.  I usually connect simply, transfer photos from the DSLR camera (images raw, very big, not a camera point/rod).  When I plug in, computer automatically selects a player... F, g, H: by M or N.

  Then, I use Adobe Lightroom for adjustments.  Once they are imported into Lightroom it keeps track of this record, they were on.

  PROBLEM:

  If I unplug the removable hard drive, plug in at a later date, computer can randomly choose a different example M instead of H letter.
  LightRoom is so impossible to find photos/images.  I would then have to re - import and start any setting completely from the beginning.

  Question:
  How to direct the computer to select the same drive when I plug in a removable hard drive.

  Plug in a hard drive removable, computer selects H:, can I import into LightRoom, I disconnect the removable hard drive, a week later I want to make adjustments more photography, connect the removable hard drive and FORCE/DIRECT COMPUTER TO SELECT H: AGAIN (or whatever of the original letter was).

  Hope it makes sense.

• UNABLE to get the drive letter of the disk 0 Partition 1

  Hello world.

  Well, yesterday I tried to install Ubuntu netbook edition 10.10. Well, in the middle of something was wrong and it corrupted the Windows partition. Linux is installed, but Windows is damaged.
  I'm on a Gateway laptop, and I have a recovery disk. The thing is when I try to boot from the disc, it says Windows is loading files... and then it opens with an error message saying fail to get the drive letter of the Partition 1 of disk 0. When I turn on the computer, I present a selection of software Ubuntu and Windows Vista loader option. If I choose that, it would open a window of system repair and th other options. I passed by them and tried to recover my pc from the recovery disc. However, none of them worked. I chose the option to Scan drive for errors, and you are prompted to restart my pc. I did, but now, if I select the Windows Vista loader it comes with a long error message.
  In the Linux file browser, C:\ is now called PQSERVICE, but he's not normal Windows OS files.
  The thing I would ask is; How I completely erase my hard drive, reset the partitions and reinstall windows from my recovery disc? I have no special programs or documents that I need to backup, I all recorded them on a portable hard drive. Also, I can reinstall Linux (rightly) with no dramas.
  PS. I have a drive to upgrade Vista to Windows 7. I have not yet tried, but if I inserted that and tried to boot my computer from that, would that work?
  Thanks for your time.

  Hello

  1. can you give us the long error message?

  The recovery disc can be used to restore the computer to factory settings and I suggest you best computer manufacturer contact to get help for the same.

• Spectrum of HP x 360 13-4195dx: how to reassign the drive letter of the recovery Partition or delete partition?

  I just bought a new spectrum X 360 convertible. I'm trying to use Laplink PCMover PRO to move my programs etc to my old PC. But when I get to the part where I said to transfer, it tells me that there is not enough room for my D: drive. The recovery partition is D:.

  What I've done so far:

  (1.) I made a recovery USB drive using Windows 10 disk management software. (I thought that this software would allow me to remove the recovery partition after the copy, but he did this).

  2.) I tried to delete the partition by using the disk Windows 10 Manager but is not an option.

  What I want to do is delete the D: drive (I have the USB recovery) recovery and create a new partition of D: drive.

  Does anyone know what I'm missing here?

  Also, who was the person who chose D: as the recovery partition? (was that a competitor? (LOL)

  Thanks in advance,

  Dave

  I read on some other posts that the resumption of "F11" looked like a particular drive letter, so I was hesitant to remove the drive designation letter assignment. I did my recovery USB drive then I'll just delete the partition. I don't really like having all my recovery options on a HARD disk that will crash a day (LOL).

  Thank you

  The provided Windows tool is disk management in the applet of the Control Panel administrative tools. Click Start-> Control Panel-> administrative tools-> management-> disk management computer.  Then locate the drive in question.  Right-click, and then click paths of access with the drive letter Change.

  If this does not work, you can try it free Easeus Partition Manager that you can download at http://easeys, com.  I got lucky with this program and Windows 7.

• Can I change the drive letter of the recovery partition?

  HP P7-1235, Win7 64 bit running. 1 TB HARD DRIVE

  I usually partition my hard drive, so that my data is separate from the operating system and applications.  the operating system is the C: partition, and my data is generally D:.  The problem is: "D:" is used by the recovery partition.

  I can change his letter to something else, and recovery still works?

  Hello

  Well, everything has been said on this subject and its okay.

  It's better to not touch the D: partition, set another letter to your other partiion, if you change the recovery partition, you won't be able to use it.

  But you can also do a thing, you can go ahead and create your copy of the recovery disks, just enter some DVD, create your copy of the recovery Image, then you can change the drive letter of the partition Recovery to E: or even delete that.

  A copy of records RRS, you can always use them to again state of the plant, and that will reformat all your partitions, create the recovery disks and do what you want and prefer with you D: partiion.

  Thank you

• href="file://f://myfile.ext would not specify the hard drive and use the same directory as my html file.

  When you use href="file://f://myfile.ext' it will open fine in Firefox 3.6.8. However, I wish NOT hard code hard drive and use the location of the same player if my html file that calls this href link.
  I tried to use href="file:///myfile.ext" and it does not work. I get an error message saying file not found.
  For ie browser I can just specify href = "" / myfile.ext "and it works very well."
  This is a simple html file that refers to several local files and I have everything on a usb key (IE my F drive). The memory stick will be sent to several people and their USB can be another letter.

  I found a solution to my problem. Found I could just specify
  href = "MyFile.ext" and he will see when he's in the same directory as the html code containing the reference. " No need for extra slashes!
