• How can I change the drive letter assigned to the partition of 'winretools' on a laptop Win 8?

  I'm just going through the process to customize a new Inspiron 14z with Windows 8. The only thing that left me speechless are all provided partitions installed on drive, thanks to a combination of everything be different on Win8, Dell make their own way and GPT formatting.  Generally, I would like to know what the devil all these partitions are for, but it is fine if it will be a slow learning process.  More precisely and immediately, I need to change the drive letter assigned to the partition of 'WINRETOOLS '.  Currently it is D:, and the problem is that 10 years from now, I'm using as my data partition D: and a number of applications, configurations, settings, etc. assume that all my files are on D:.  For example, by having all my music on D:, I can sync iTunes library and preference between machines and all results files and playlists is from a machine to another.  Same thing for my photos.  Same for a bunch of utilities like FTP consoles, sync utilities...

  In an earlier version of Windows, I would just go into management drives, right click on the partition in question, assign a different drive letter and work done.  On my machine, the WINRETOOL 2 GB partition shows not even as having a drive letter in disk management, despite the fact that it is D: in Win Explorer.  In addition, only the right click option is 'help '.  I took this option, and, despite its aspirations, it is not useful.

  How can I change this drive letter to something else?  WINRETOOLS should even have a drive letter in Explorer (some messages that I've seen indicates that it must be hidden)?  If I change the drive letter, which will break its function, whatever it is?

  ....

  My machine has a 500 GB of rotating disk that has all of the above partitions.  I shrunk the 80 GB C: partition, to create a data partition.  I've not yet formatted the unallocated space I want to solve this WINRETOOLS thing first.  Finally, there is a 32 GB of SSD that I put in place as a cache of the Intel Smart Response, and it is no longer visible to the operating system.

  At the command prompt, type the following and press "enter":

  mountvol D:\/d

  Close the command prompt.

  Drive D: letter should now be available and not used.

  Here's some info about Mountvol, it's very powerful to be safe to use it:

  

• Loss repeated drive letter assignment to restart

  Whenever I reboot, one of my hard disks loses its drive letter assignment and must be reassigned in Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management > storage > disk management.

  I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate x 64. I did not have this problem with the same hardware configuration and Vista Ultimate x 64.

  Configuration:

  2 SATA drives of 250 GB in RAID 0, which contains the Windows system directory and is assigned C:
  1 1.5 to SATA drive assigned D:
  1 DVD player, received the letter of drive E:

  After each restart, D: loses its drive letter assignment. I have him assigning other drive (for example, H: or b or G :) letters. No drive letter assigned works.

  I'm open to any solution, including the execution of a script at startup if necessary or editing the registry. Please let me know what are my options.

  Thank you.

• Secondary hard drive receives the drive letter assigned to the start-up

  I have recently formatted my secondary hard drive, which had been sitting in my empty PC and do nothing for a while, to function as a music folder. The problem I have is that every time you start that I have to manually assign the drive letter, Windows does not automatically. I tried to reformat the hard disk, but it does not solve the problem. In addition, by train to perform a bugcheck gives an error indicating the check cannot be completed. Personally, I have no idea how to solve this problem, and I have not found anyone with the same issue.

  Hi Revolvist,

  There is a possibility that the second hard disk is defective or damaged.

  If the second hard disk is a separate hard drive, I suggest you disconnect the drive from the computer (if possible) and connect to another computer and check if the problem persists.

• My PC drive letter assignment is incorrect.

  I have a HP Pavilion a230n w/Windows XP Home Edition, SP3 & IE 7. I tried to find why I can't burn a CD/DVD, when I noticed that the designations of drive letter on my secondary internal drive would be ', the CD/DVD burner and CD-rom have changed. How can I fix it?

  Hi Carolina,.
  Well, there is a lot of information here so I'll do my best to sort it out.

  You say in your first post that you have a secondary internal drive that has been designated as the "D" HOWEVER, which was actually just a Partition of the 'C' drive and not a disc correct full-fledged?

  If this is the case, then my suggestion is to change the drive letters and just create the primary partition as "D" as is was before. However, having 2 discs called 'J' is a problem.
  You say that it is an external drive. What is it? It is a storage device, or just another piece of hardware that the computer considers as a drive?

  In addition, the actual error codes you get will be a world of help to understand what actually causes the errors. So, if you would, please copy these errors and post them here. Who's going to tell us at least in the right direction.

  I am also curious to know what program you use to burn CDs.

• "*:\ Application not found' (no drive letter of the external device, double-click the drive letter, App not found message...)

  Windows 7 64, noticed this morning after the insertion of a USB key, I double click on the drive icon and a popup with the message in the title appeared. I checked the USB, works very well in the other 3 machines without worries. Digging on the net I found a few options...

  The method to remove the autorun.inf to the reader; has not changed.
  Tried to change the drive F:\ BOF to H:\ letter; Seemed work, however all new default device is "F:\. "and had the same problem. At this point it seemed to me it was just the F:\ player for some reason, then dug around the registry, checked the controlpolicy for drive letters, nothing suspicious here. Next...
  Tried to do a 8MB partition, formatted to 'F:\. "(The letter apparently problematic) and hide with the"NoDrives"Reg entry (so new devices would be default G:\); Does not work either.
  Looked in the AutoPlay options; no difference. I am now about to throw the laptop someone else out the window...
  If I right click on the drive (no matter what I changed to in diskmgmt.msc) I can click on 'Open' and see the content... ARGH! Why not double clicking?
  The first entry in the context menu of the player is "install or run program from your media"... What is c? Why won't it just open the double click like all other Windows machines I've ever used, ever...
  Seriously, I'm about to cross my arms, get in a huff right and throw my toys like many on the pram as humanly possible, what is happening on Earth? I've never had this before and I can't get this sort for love nor money, the lady that has laptop is should not have to "work to spare; to simply open a USB? Is she feeling. The machine works absolutely well outside the conclusion that no external USB is available as usual? I can't face to reformat for her, in addition there are 3 programs again there is no reason for this madness, Google Chrome, Microsoft Office, and Dropbox... Oh and I.S. Commodo...
  Please help, I'll lose my mind on this one... That has never solved this for me I will not mention my next child after you, seriously... Thank you

  Ok...

  I found that the Expert 'IT' (the laptop owners friends 17 years, son... Yes, if we all had a dollar for every time that it caused headaches...) had removed a lot of pre-installed software (Asus K53E) installed "Windows 7 Manager", ran different settings and seems to have stopped many services. He said that he had used black service guide also vipers, and once he had done all the hacks and tweaks and customizations, it took the W7M once it has completed leaving a few programs that are on the machine, so it was 'lightning fast'... * face palm *.
  It has Intel i3-2310 and 4 GB of Ram, the owner which accounts, the company uses only Word, Excel, box deposit and LogMeIn for remote use of its PC works...
  so... I assume that this would explain why these methods don't work, than to go on what you advised, I had already checked all except the patch, the problem still persists.
  I should have checked the services during my first puzzle of really, but got it works by ensuring that all USB services are back to original settings. (Now you tell me what is the fix?)
  I think for most people with the question of the title, as usual you bugs recommended would get people upward and running or issuance autorun.ini I've seen mentioned, unless someone has already gone to town on the removal of any service that they don't like not the look of...
  I went on the lappy and made my own service, and tests to make sure that everything is fine and put an image of the system on its servers of the company, so I can remotely wipe/restore his cell phone... Never tell no computer people you know about computers... Never...
  However, regardless, I'll still name my next child, Arya, because is a beautiful name! Thanks again for your time and help!
  TL/DR: It seems that in this case, it was down to services being stopped by the guru of the 'IT', and my following childs name is Arya. Happy days.

• Is it possible to map a local folder to a drive letter and not to lose it after the reboot?

  subst is a command that can be used.  However, its effect is gone after reboot.  If it is possible to set up a bat at the start, it is not ideal.

  net use seems to work better.  But does go through the sharing service when access a local folder?  If Yes, who is much slower?

  A better alternative?

  If so, it seems that it s not installed correctly and you should try removing the upper and lower filters in the registry:

• HP Pavilion m7667c, try to install Vista 32 bit. No OS - the charge not assigned drive letter.

  My HP Pavilion PC m7667c console was at the origin of many blue screens. After several diags that does not solve the problem, I replaced the power supply because the block is dead.  Then replaced the motherboard.  The XP PC operating system will not recover because the BONE had already improved Multimedia Pro XP to VISTA. I can get the VISTA OS to run from my CD to upgrade to VISTA, but the operating system is not found, because there is no drive letter assigned to the drive.  I tried a replacement for the HD signal cable but no help.  I can't on a screen so windows help.  At this point, I'm ready to reformat the hard drive then maybe I could partition and assign a drive.  Any suggestions?

• Mode DSC-W510 usb drive letter

  I'm looking for more information on exactly how this functions model of the device when it is connected to a computer - I would like to be able to connect with the usb cable and the camera memory stick appears as a removable drive with a drive letter assigned in Windows. I do not use any software to transfer pictures off the camera - want to just drag - move in Windows. This model camera offers this feature?

  Page plug is really not so much about this and I tried looking for a manual for this camera and can't find one.

  Set the parameters of the camera to a single LUN and USB connect to mass storage. To define, access the settings menu of the camera. After setting the camera, connect the camera to your computer. Go to the computer, search for devices with removable storage. Look for the drive where the camera is connected. If you see the DCIM folder, that's all.

• SanDisk Ultra Drive Letter missing problem

  Did a search but don't seem to find something that fits to my problem. I have several Sandisk Ultra USB flash drives, for most versions of 16 GB with a 32 GB version and for some strange reason, whenever I have insert in a Windows computer (Windows 7 and Windows 10) they fail to come up with a drive letter. Instead, I have to go to computer management > disk management > change drive letter and paths and assign a (usually E) drive letter to the Ultra drive to be install in Windows every time.

  I have many other readers flash including Sandisk Cruzers who do not exhibit this problem. There is always a drive letter assigned whenever they are inserted into a Windows computer.

  Is there a cause for this problem?

  Is there one alternative to having to assign a drive letter to each time I insert the Ultra flash player?

  Assignment of the different drive letters to each different drive, IE the more different 16 GB for the 32 GB ones, should help. I have some of my own assigned to S: and T: to deviate the other random readers.

  Thanks for the suggestion. Tried that on the Ultra drive (five of them) and it did not work. Each of them has been assigned their own drive letter but would not come up with a drive letter, so that other readers not Ultra would rise with the drive letters.

  What seemed to have worked was to access the 'diskpart' execute the command, and then run the following command: automount enable

  Then when the Ultra drives were inserted, they came up with a drive letter from the first drive letter not in use on the system.

• 2nd hard drive appearing is not in my computer

  My 2nd hard drive is not appearing in my computer.  The hard drive was a slave, that I took from my old xp machine after it crashed.  I had installed in my new vista machine before and it worked, but then I had to reinstall the operating system and since then he did not appear.  I double checked to make sure, it has been defined as a slave drive and it is.  It appears in the Bios, Device Manager and in disk management, but not in my computer.  Nothing is appearing as unallocated in disk management and the player said his good health.  In the Device Manager, it says the device is working properly.  I tried to give him just a drive letter in the management of records, but when I right click on it the only option I have is help.  I also tried to update the drivers, he says that they are up-to-date.  I tried deactivation and activation of the hard drive.  I even tried to uninstall.  When I rebooted, it detects and reinstalled the drivers, but I still can't get it to appear in my computer.

  Alw179,

  so I assume you are using the new Windows 7 for this post.

  Proposal of John Doe has worked for me. This is how do you a little more in detail:

  step 1: Windows 'Start menu '.

  Step 2: SPECIFY the, "disk management" in the box "search programs and files" at the botom

  step 3 find and RIGHT click on the hard drive in the list that program shows.

  step 4: select 'Change Drive Letter and paths '.

  step 5: click Add and make sure that ASSIGN it THE FOLLOWING DRIVE LETTER: bubble is selected and then use the drop-down menu to select a drive letter, do not use it.

  step 5: click OK

  step 6: complete, you should have something pop up indicates that your hard drive is available to show.

  I hope this helps.
