  • 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?

    Ed_P wrote:

    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.

  • 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).

  • Can I connect external drives, flash sticks, cards, etc. to a specific drive letter?

    Hello. My question is for Windows Vista, Xp and Win7. I have Vista and XP.

    I was wondering if I can assign (or delete the assignment) a drive letter to the external hard drive. I have a laptop and that not always you wanted to plug a certain external drive first, and everytime I turn on the unit. If I can assign a drive letter - I wanted to have it exclusively for some external hard drives, flash sticks, cards, etc. If possible. And Cancel if something breaks or is replaced, etc.

    Can I do this with my office also (this is the XP one)?

    Can it confuse the system? What updates or anything like that? What happens if I change the associated device?

    Also would it help if I run specific programmes on a device external usb, but I am currently not.

    Assuming this works: I can leave something assigned to the drive letter K and whatever it is I plugged in any OS: nothing runs the K drive unless it is the specific device, even if not assigned devices...? Those who can jump to L or D - J, etc.?

    Thank you.

    Assignment of drive letters is pretty easy - use tool (diskmgmt.msc) disk management to assign letters.  Insert the disk or device, run the disk management tool, find the drive or device, right click and select 'Change Drive Letter and paths', click the 'Edit' button and assign the drive letter you want.  Not the drive letter assignment is made by inserting the device and using the button 'delete '.  I don't know of a way to remove a drive letter assignment, if the device is missing or damaged /-maybe someone else can chime with this knowledge.

  • Hard drive partitioned using its missing data after restarting the system, sharing and management of the computer

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite with Vista and since my laptop came with only a single 250 GB, i.e. C:\ partition I tried to partition more than I did the following, I had about 90 GB of data to start with which I transferred to a portable hard drive then:

    Panel--> Admin Tools--> computer management--> management disk storage--> right click C:\ Drive and reduce volume--> it showed only 50 GB of space heat shrink and I created a new volume with this space (F:\ 50 GB)--> transferred all the files to the new 50 GB portable HD space F:\ and remaining 40 GB on the drive C:\

    When I started my computer after a few hours, the new partition F:\ was missing! In addition, there was only the C:\ drive of origin with 40 GB data that I had transferred + 45 GB of data I think it was there previously because the installed files.

    C:\ was so now 40 + 45 = 85 GB without a trace of the 50 GB of data on the new partition I created!

    I had recovered my system to a day before before I did it, it could be the reason? Now, when I try to go to System Recovery it does me not an option for a restoration of watch system.

    To be sure, I now have a backup of the 40 GB of data from the C: drive, but I lost the data of 50 GB of the new partition, and since I have not written new data on the drive is possible that it's still there?

    When I try to search for some files I know research shows me the name of the file, but the file does not open, and the location of the file shows that it is not accessible.

    Kindly advise me on what can be done given that 50 GB of data is really important.

    Thank you

    Go to disk management and open it in full screen and then press the PrtScr button.  Go to start / all programs / Accessories / Paint and open the program.  Go to Edition and click on paste.  Then go to file and click on save as and select a .jpg file type and call the disk management and save it to your desktop.

    Then go to http://skydrive.live.com/ (you will have to perhaps sign up and maybe download some programs, but this will give you a free online place where you can store files for others.  Once the page to the top, click on add files and navigate to the file you just save it on your desktop and add it to one of the folders (I suggest the Public folder).  Once it clicked, and information about it will appear at the bottom right, including where exactly the file.  Copy this URL and include it in your next post.  I would like to see what looks like disk management without asking a thousand questions to describe everythhing for me.

    If you did a restore of the system already on the previous day, there is probably no new restore points created since then, so there is no option to do a system restore.  In addition, a system restore would not solve this problem - this is way beyond its capabiliities.

    Download the free EASUS Partition Manager: http://www.partition-tool.com/ and run it to scan your drive and see if it finds anything Disk Manager can not - it "s possible he can pick up our lost F:\ partition or unidentified space which could be this partition but not correctly identified.  In a same, t I would like to see if it detects anything useful (and it can also be useful the fixing of the problem if we can find it).  Moreover, the total space of the C:\ drive is now is what it was before you have shrunk or it it showing the size reduction that you can expect if the new volume had actually been created?  Let me know what you find if anything.

    Right-click on your CD-ROM drive, and then click on change drive letter and paths.  Click on edit and then right click on the drop box for the available letters.  F shows as available or is missing in the list?  Leave it (don't change anything in reality - I just wanted to see if F has shown as available since if it was assigned (such as C: is assigned) should not be shown at the top on the list.)  I would like to know if he was there.

    I hope this helps or at least gives us some clues on how to solve the problem (whatever it is).   Keep me informed.

  • After using a third party partition manager program left to extend my Windows 8 partition, the system of Windows 8 start to a black screen and Windows 8 partition of the drive letter has changed

    Original title: problems of Windows 8

    I have Windows 7 (32 bit) and Windows 8 (64-bit) is installed in a dual boot. I tried to extend the partition of Windows 8 with a third party partition manager. Subsequently, I restarted after having learned so much.

    Later, the first thing I saw was that the locked screen image is replaced by a blue color. Photos of the user are also missing. Once connected, it took a long time for windows everything ready, and I'm stuck in a black screen with the mouse pointer.

    I entered in Safe Mode and found that the drive for Windows 8 letter has been changed (C: = Windows 7;) D: = recovery partition; E: = Windows 8, new drive letter; F: = Windows 8, old drive letter), I tried to change the drive letter, but it does not work.

    Partition of Windows 7 works well (it is what I currently use to put this problem), and I can access the data in the partition of Windows 8. I tried the methods of different repair without result (such as chkdsk and sfc/scannow).

    Can someone help me with this please? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    I understand that you have a problem of black screen with Windows 8 and the drive letter for the partition of Windows 8 is also changed. This problem is due to the use of the third party partition manager program because it affects the registry files and causes the instability of the system.

    Try to run auto repair from the Windows recovery environment and check if that helps.

    Method 1: start the recovery environment with installation of Windows 8 media.

    It is another way to boot the PC and launch recovery tools when something goes wrong with the operating system.

    Please follow the steps below. Insert the DVD to install Windows 8 on DVD-ROM and restart your computer.

    (a) once you start your computer by using the Windows DVD or the system repair disc, a black screen is displayed with the gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press a button on any.

    (b) select the good time and the type of keyboard .

    (c) click on repair your computer in the lower left corner.

    (d) select Troubleshooting to Choose an option screen.

    (e) click on advanced options in Troubleshooting screen.

    (f) click Auto repair of Advanced Options screen.

    (g) following, choose the operating system by clicking on its button.

    (h) Windows 8 will be looking for problems on the hard drives and verify that all required files are intact.


    Method 2: Run the restoration of the system of the Advanced Options screen.

    System Restore to restore your computer to a previous state, quickly and easily without losing any of your files and personal settings. Sometimes when you install programs or drivers, they can affect some system settings and prevent other programs to function properly. You can use system restore to restore these settings to their previous state

    Follow these steps:

    (a) once you start your computer by using the Windows DVD or the system repair disc, a black screen is displayed with the gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press a button on any.

    (b) select the good time and the type of keyboard .

    (c) click on repair your computer in the lower left corner.

    (d) select Troubleshooting from the Choose an option screen.

    (e) click on advanced options in Troubleshooting screen.

    (f) select System restore.

    After the system restore your documents and files will always remain to their previous state.

    If you do not install Windows 8 media, I suggest you connect to any other computer and create a floppy disk to install Windows 8. Using this disk, you can run the troubleshooting provided methods.

    How to create the installation media for a PC refresh or reset:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

    You can also try the same steps using the bootable USB key. You must select USB as the first boot to the BIOS device.

    Note: Microsoft don't recommend any third-party partition manager program because it corrupts the registry files and cause the instability of the system.

    Write to us if you're still having problems. We will help you.

  • How can I correct the wrong drive letter in the Collections only - no files?

    I moved my Lightroom Catalog from another computer. All my files are correct, but my Collections records point to a drive letter does not exist, and I get the error that there are duplicates.

    How can I fix the drive letter in the Collections only? Find all missing Photos does not work because it applies only to folders and files have the correct drive letter.

    Charles

    I think the best thing to do is to copy the old catalog of the any file to the new computer and place it in its own nine empty folder. Then change in Windows, the drive letters E on the new computer becomes G (as it was on the old computer). Then double-click the Lightroom from the old computer catalog to open it, and everything should be good.

    So in Windows, you can select a drive like q letter (or any other letter you want only towards the end of the alphabet)

    Then in Lightroom, you can reconnect to the photos on q: the following instructions (see specifically 4 Figure and related text)

  • External drive has a different drive letter now, he does not see Lightroom Catalog.

    The problem started when I plugged an additional external USB key. The drive that I use for my photos was labeled F:, now G: is labeled, even after you remove the extra disc of installation. The catalog in LIghtroom is still pointing on F:, which currently doesn't "exist". The physical drive is fine - Windows Explorer sees all files. I see two approaches to solve this, neither one of which I know how to do: (1) reallocate the letter F; at the promenade repoint (2) catalogue to G:.

  • 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
  • How can I get Lightroom to find photos on a USB key when the drive letter changes?

    E:, F.; or G: and when it cahnges, the catalog says the photos are missing.  How can I get

    Lightroom for photos?

    Tom Barnwell

    The quick solution is to click on the folder that contains the missing files and choose "update folder location" and then search for the file on the USB drive. The longer term and fix, you must apply is to configure Windows to always give the same drive letter USB. You can do this through the XP disk management application in the management of the computer (the control panel applet). The following screenshot is for XP and Vista and Win 7 will be something similar which is accessed via the administrative tools (see second screenshot).

  • 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.

  • Get the iPhone to recognize the change to iTunes Library the drive letter

    I'm doing something that should be extremely simple, and Apple has found a way to make it incredibly difficult. I'm moving my media to a new computer. On my old computer, all the media has been on the J: drive. On my new computer, it's all about the D: drive. Other than that, the folder structure is exactly the same. Apple says that in documentation for migrating to a new computer, activate the option "Keep iTunes folder organized Media". There are several reasons why this is not an option, mainly because iTunes is the absolute worst to organize your media folder. I've seen cases where iTunes dumps simply all your files perfectly organized in a single folder for you to figure out what that is when you get the file you need. No thanks, I'm perfectly capable of organizing my own files. Not to mention, my multimedia files are on a data disc and the app folder, where the files to iTunes library is on an SSD with limited storage. Then... Guard iTunes library trace the location of support using a "iTunes Music Library.xml" file. I've updated this file to use the new location and when I open iTunes on my new computer, everything is perfect. All my media is there with all my custom illustrations I apply (iTunes can also be really terrible at the corresponding work on music not purchased via iTunes!). If great, let's get my iPhone recognized now because it's really the only reason why I use iTunes. As soon as I connect my phone and it starts the synchronization process, it crushes everything in the XML file and returns all my music in the original location (now the music in the iTunes library has!'s next to all my music sync). You're going to go to a song and it will ask you the new location, I can go to, and then iTunes invites even to use this new location to update other files 'disappeared', but the problem is this feature only searches the subfolder where the particular file is located, you have access to what is in this case an album. Do you know how many albums I have? You mean I have to go to every single album and update the location manually? Once again, no thanks! So my thought at this point, ok, let's just resync all the music with the phone, that well that is always a huge pain given the extremely slow transfer speeds from your computer to your phone (Apple Hi, meet 3.1 USB or same USB 3.0) in combination with the size of my library (we're talking days to complete!), it's even less of a pain then go each file (or a piece of each album) and updated the location. On a side note - it would be really great if the synchronization on the Wi - Fi technology still works... I mean, they had what, over 4 years to operate and you're still lucky if your phone is recognized by Wi - Fi. That means I have to leave my phone on my computer for days and who really has the ability to do? Sorry, I digress. So, I removed all of my music from my phone and got iTunes to be happy with the new drive letter. Great, let's start the arduous process to sync my music on my phone. I re - activate the option synchronize my music and what happens, my iPhone again overwrites my iTunes library with the former location of media! Excuse me, but how is it reasonable to have the phone, which is a destination and contains a subset of your library, to be the registration system for which the files are stored in the source? I mean come on! This is absurd! I've always hated that Apple is owner and forces you to use iTunes (some of the worst software ever developed) to manage/sync your media. But for years, I have it justified by saying iPhone works simply. No worries. Well, I'll say, it does not just work and my insinuation that Apple made simple products that just don't work no longer holds water. At this point, I am very close to say goodbye to the iPhone and switch to Google project. I'm tired of less expensive phones friends surpassing my overpriced device that uses obsolete technology. Sort of, I'm sorry to dump all this on the community, but it is absolutely ridiculous that it's so complicated to change a drive letter and I am at my wits end. Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer a solution.

    I'm doing something that should be extremely simple, and Apple has found a way to make it incredibly difficult.

    If you was to move your iTunes LibrRy to another drive, follow these instructions: How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support

    If you have already moved successfully, just launch iTunes while holding down the button Optio/alternate, then choose the location of the library.
