• Cannot change drive letter external (Windows Vista)

  I connected an external hard drive to my laptop (3.5 "), but it can not display in Windows Explorer.
  I have Windows Vista installed on my laptop

  The external hard drive is recognized in disk management, appears in good health, but has no drive letter assigned.
  When I want to change the drive letter, this and every other option is grayed out, except the option 'Delete Partition '.

  All the world is facing this problem before?

  Thank you

  Nielke

  Hi Nielke,

  I'm sorry to know that you still have the problem.

  You can try plugging the external drive to another PC to see if the device works it.

  If it is detected on another PC, you will need to take backup of the data on the external hard drive and try to format the drive by following the steps mentioned above to the PC where it detects.

  After formatting the drive, check to see if it detects is to change the drive letter.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Windows7 - error msgs & MGP works does not properly after changing drive letter

  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

  When first, I partitioned my HARD drive, the 2nd logical drive was labeled J:, who was the next available letter after all the optical drives and integrated flash memory readers.

  I prefer to label it D: (to follow immediately from the boot partition which is C :).  I used the functionality of disk management to change the drive letter of the J: to D: (and of course move the rest optical drives and integrated flash memory ready in 1 letter).

  When I run some programs, I get this error message:

  "There is no disk in the drive. Insert a disc into drive \Device\Harddisk4\DR4.

  Options click below this message are "Cancel", "Try again" or "continue".

  Some programs, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Works word processor and spreadsheet, clicking on one of the 3 options will allow the program to operate normally.

  For other programs, such as Windows Live Movie Maker, clicking options will cause a "Drive not ready" message and lead to more problems.  For example, I can not load my existing projects, because I can't get to the screen that allows me to navigate through drives and folders to choose my file.

  I uninstalled and reinstalled the Movie Maker, but the problem is still there.

  Seems to me that it is not the individual programs that are at the origin of the problem, but something in Windows 7 itself.

  How can I get rid of the error messages and get the programs to run normally?  Do I have to edit the registry of Windows 7?  If so, what will exactly be changed?

  Thanks in advance.

  Think I found the answer.  Looks like it is a problem of registry after all.  That's what I did:

  (1) go to the start menu.

  (2) execute Regedit by typing "regedit" in the search box and press .

  (3) the search for "J:" in the whole registry.

  (4) when a directory path is starting by 'J' and the pursuit of my familiar subfolder names, I should now start with "D:" instead, I right click on it, choose "Edit" and change the "J" to "D".  (Note: I only change to directory paths that looked familiar to me and I'm sure that should now start with "D:".)  I change all instances of "J:" that were found).

  (5) once this is over, choose 'File', then 'leave '.

  A ran programs that have already given the error message.  No error message comes this time.  Restarted the PC and programs run.  Once again, no error message.  I hope that things stay effortless.

• Question catalog: changed drive letter

  Hi all

  I just install a new SSD on my desktop and install new operating systems. All this has caused some of the drive letters (I have a bit more disks), to change. I copied my catalog to a new location and tried to load it into Lightroom and... obviously it does not find the pictures. The only change was just the hard drive. Is it possible to update the catalog to pick up everything that on another drive? Or I will have to work something around and get this drive received the letter from the former?

  The OS is Windows 7 btw.

  Thank you.

  I assume you have two choices...

  1. reassign the drive letter in Windows so that it matches what Lightroom is expected
  2. reconnect in Lightroom using Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

  Seagate 2.5 "laptop hard drive - USB
  also tried with Maxtor external hard drive 3.5 "

  Hello

  I have two laptops running Vista. On each of them, I have an external USB or SATA drive that I use as a backup partition.
  I have my own backup utility, and I like to use the letter B for the backup.

  When I change sometimes the discs I've met this parameter is incorrect problem on two computers - sometimes I can change using the method above and sometimes I can't.  I tried to stop the disk cache, anti-virus etc etc etc. with totally inconsistent results so far as I can tell.

  Today I tried to boot mode safe mode (F8 at startup) and tried the same steps as before and it worked on the first attempt.

  Maybe it's worth a try.

• Change the impact of drive letter

  Hello

  I'm Win 7 Pro x 64.

  I have a need to share an application between colleague who has data on an external hard drive.

  Initial challenge was to ensure that the external hard drive appeared as the same drive on machines different configurations.

  Experimented with the function "Change drive letter" in the management of the computer in the Administratyive tools for the control panel.

  In my case I changed the drive F: (USB port) drive W:.

  It seemed to work except that I know have a 'new' drive F: which is presented as system reserved.

  A reboot doesn't change anything.

  Guess my question is should I this extra drive under the drive letter changing?

  As a matter of interest, the new F: is shown as having 70.0 MB free of 99.9 MB - where are only physically affected data?

  If this is not the case, how to remove it as I would like my USB to back to F: drive as I have other apps referencing this disc - OK I could change the Botr prefer to put things to how they were.

  Thank you in advance.

  You should always have a reserved system drive, which is there for purposes of recovery.  There normally do not however have a drive letter.  I would just remove the letter F: (but do not remove the drive) and ignore it.

• How to change the letter on the external HARD disk

  My drive external hard was originally on drive F, and with that, I got all my music iTunes also. However, for some reason, my computer stopped recognizing the F drive; the following message appears when you try to open this drive:

  "The drive or network connection that designates the shortcut 'F Drive.ink' is not available. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available and then try again. »

  The problem I have now is that the external hard drive is now the G disk and iTunes does not recognize the path (G:\iTunes), I say to use, for example, my music is not loading properly and that a fraction is playable.

  Can someone help me with this?

  Hello

  I would recommend to change the external drive (g) to F letter.
  Do you know how to do this?

  After the external HARD disk is connected, you need to access the disk management and you will see the HARD drive (unique partitions) and other readers.
  Then you must mark the external HARD disk and should change the letter F.

  Perhaps the letter F was reserved for another drive.
  In this case, you need to unlock the letter F by assigning another letter to the reader that uses the letter F.
