• Internal drive disappears after 15 minutes running ' G:/Users/SAM/Desktop refers to a location that is unavailable'... etc.

  Hey everybody,

  This is my first post here, and it's because of a terrible problem that I have where one of my internal drives disappear literally just from my computer after about 15 minutes of my computer.  If I restart the computer the drive will return, but then disappear just after 15 minutes of use.  If I remove the drive and connect it to an USB hard drive docking station, it will show well here.  It's just a 250 GB SATA drive.  The only thing I can think is that I use it to store all personal files that are usually stored on the system C:\ drive.  When I installed the OS a few years ago, I went through the steps to get my data off the drive system in the event of a crash.  I doubt that could be the cause of the problem because it has worked well for a long time like that?  I remember having to do weird things in the registry or something to get the users folder to point to another drive.

  The problem exists since probably almost a year now...  It got so fed up of this office that I just stopped using it and started using my macbook exclusively for about a year.  I'm starting to use this computer for backups because it can hold much more (and more numerous hard drives) that the macbook could dream to).

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you
  -Sam

  If it works in a dock and the dock is a dock motor, it is the motherboard, or a connector failed

  Although G: might suggest that you have several internal hard drives and if so, you can check if the power supply is charged.

  And no it's not a victory to issue.

  HI Maria,

  1 are. what file you referring?

  2. What is the brand and model of the laptop?

  3. are you able to boot to the desktop?

  4. when exactly you get the error message?

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1:

  Step 1: Start in safe mode and check if the problem persists.

  Start your computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

   

  Step 2: If the problem does not occur in safe mode, you can put your system to boot (in normal mode) to solve the problem.

  Place the computer in a clean boot state, then check if it helps. You can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to configure the computer to start as usual as mentioned at step 7 of the article mentioned above.

  Method 2: You can perform the system restore to a date when it was working fine earlier.

    1. In Control Panel, open backup and restore.
    2. In the section back up , click change settings.
    3. In the dialog box Configure the backup , click Next.
    4. In the dialog box that you want to save , click Let me choose, and then click Next.
    5. Expand data files, library, expand additional locations, and then click to clear the check boxes folder AppData, Contactsand Research .
    6. Expand computers, expand the element of your system drive (for example, expand Local disk (c)), expand users, , and then click to select the checkboxes AppData, Contactsand Research if they exist.
    7. Click Next, and then click Save settings and exit.
    8. Backup and restore, click back up now to perform a new backup. The backup operation must complete without errors.

  Hi ronreyna,

  Try the following steps:

  Put the computer in a clean boot (namely if any third-party software hinders the process)

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135 ---> how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  Check with step 1 (run a clean boot):-If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

  Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

  (Note: after find you the problem causing the program, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program and also don't forget to put the computer to a normal startup)

  The SFC utility allows administrators to perform an analysis of all protected resources to make sure they are the correct version. Whether SFC should find all incorrect versions in one of these protected resources, SFC will be replaced by the correct versions.

  You can still run a sfc on the windows vista computer scan. To run a scan suite sfc as follows:

  a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

• Done F:\Akston\Desktop refers to a location that is not available

  I don't even really know how to describe this problem.

  This problem started when I got an external hard drive for Christmas. I copied my entire "My documents" folder on the external drive. I ended up having to backup and copy because I accidentally made a shortcut once and accidentally moved the whole thing once. So it's probably what is the impetus for my problems.

  How, how it manifests:

  When I turn on my PC, it says that F:\user\desktop is not available. But the drive 'F' is not where everything is, and I have no idea how the F drive would somehow enter my startup or registry or whatever it is. Drive F is only affected by Windows when I connect to a mobile device (blackberry/android phone) via USB charger. I never ran anything my phone is off so I have no idea why the F drive would all of a sudden my office.

  The other manifestation of some error (register?), it's also impossible for me to open any microsoft office files. Else - pdf, jpg, works very well, but no file Microsoft does open on my computer.

  Every time I click on a file to open it it tells me that Microsoft cannot access ' C:\Users\Akston\...

  The files are still there, is not the problem. I can copy the files on a USB key and open it on a different computer, and when I click the icon of a file .ppt file, windows displays a preview of the first slide. Then the files are there and Windows recognizes to some extent, but it will not open files from Microsoft that are on my C drive, or my external hard drive, any USB jump drive I connected or emails.

  I can open MS Office programs, but not save anything because it says "an error has occurred the logon dialog box. I guess I can just try to re - install MS Office (which would be a problem because I can not find the disc), but if it's a problem of MS office, it does not explain why my startup is looking for desktop on my drive "F".

  Any ideas how I can fix?

  I tried a system restore to as soon as possible (while the problem), and that solves nothing. I tried to scan the discs thinking that maybe there was a corrupt file or something. I tried the Defrag. I tried spybot.

  I have not tried a registry cleaner because I have read that they can do more harm that good, so I thought I'd post here for an overview.

  Sorry for the long post, don't know what else to do. Thought I would try this before that I have just went ahead and bought a new computer because of what is probably a tiny, fixable error.

  Hello

  ·         What is the exact error you get when you try to open Microsoft Office applications?

  ·         Are there external drivers connected to the computer when you start on the desktop?

  If so remove all connected readers and then boot to the desktop and check what is happening.

  Method 1:

  Step 1:

  Try to start in safe mode and check if you are able to boot to the desktop without errors. To start in safe mode follow the link given below.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

   

  Step 2:

  If the problem does not occur in safe mode then boot to the desktop in normal mode and check that the third-party program is causing the problem. To configure your computer to clean boot follow the link below.

• F:\New Windows\ refers to a location that is unavailable.

  Not too long ago, I restore my computer as long as the plant and attempted to move files from my USB drive to my computer just after it was finished boot without the Internet or anything like that. However, a couple of my folders have their names replaced with strange symbols and are inaccessible. A message appears everytime I try to open them. Here's a picture of him: http://i43.tinypic.com/rtdc08.png

  I have my files saved on my drive a while before that, but I have not checked their until after I restored my computer, so I suspect that this could be the problem instead. It could be a virus, that I was infected with before that or did something happen to my computer during the restoration

  Hello Tracy,.
  These are indeed some strange look file "names". As the virus 'option', of course, it could be, but if it was I would expect your files to be scrambled and not just the few. You can always check by running your antivirus program on the files (most antivirus applications have a feature to allow you to test a specific file, one at a time).

  So if it isn't a virus, another approach to try is using the software of data recovery on the files in question and see if they can be recovered in this way. The trick here is to install the software on a different disc in the drive you want to recover the files from (if you do not you could overwrite the same file you are trying to recover).

  The program that I use and recommend is called AidFile Recovery Pro, download here (be sure to select the free version): www.aidfile.com/product.htm .

  I hope this helps. Keep me posted.
  Kind regards
