For the SviInternalDisk drive letter reassignment

Hi all

I use composer to deploy a set of persistent linked clones and I am running into a problem with the SviInternalDisk drive letter assignment.  The attribution to this particular drive that interferes with a script that assigns F: to a shared drive on the network, we run F:.  I can come in and change it by disk management in XP, but if I recompose what change is lost.  So my question is twofold.  First of all, this change should stick because it is a persistent linked clone?  Secondly, is it possible to reassign the drive automatically letter?  I understand a script may do that, but I wonder if there is a way to accomplish this directly by the view.  I'm under view 4.0.1.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Welcome to the community

> First of all, this change should stick because it is a persistent linked clone?

No, persistent related clones get configured letter during the Create Pool Wizard. Then recompose or any operation will override manual changes

> Secondly, is it possible to reassign the drive automatically letter?

In View 4.5, there is an option to change the drive letter for the persistent disks

  • The same drive letter may point to different locations for different processes?

    The same drive letter may point to different locations for different processes?

    Our users have the E: drive mapped to one place. But I need a scheduled task in order to use the E: drive to point to a different location at the same time, without affecting the mapping of moose for logged in users.

    There is no work around this need of ours. This is because users are working 24 X 7 update of our data files on the E: drive, and a log file is made. We plan prevent users for a minute every night while move us / save the log file and then allow users of the resume and allow a new log file to create. Then take the saved log file and apply it to a real set of monthly backup of data files, so the backup files will be ready for a recovery after disaster. The program that applies the transactions recorded in the data files is able to apply operations to files that are considered as being in the same exact location.

    I know that's not possible without resorting to the application logs a set of files on a completely different machine. But I ask.

  • 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.

  • Windows 7 x 64 upgrd dv6500z disconnected network drives allow usb drive mapping to the same drive letter

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with the readers of network disconnected allowing for new drive usb to their drive letter mappings. I have my laptop dv6500z home with windows 7 Home premium connected to my router wirelessly with a couple of shares of x 64. Now I turned off, trip and start. All right, the drive letters show as disconnected as they should. Now I plug in a USB key and it corresponds to the drive letter of one of the disconnected actions and not a new, unassigned drive letter. In Explorer, there will still be disconnected action description. Click on it and it accesses all my files on the USB key. In admin tools/disk management, the correct label for the USB key is displayed.

    So is it a problem of HP or just a problem of Microsoft with Windows 7?

    Woody, I was able to replicate that XP is not a bug but a feature. On my laptop, it originally had vista on the c drive and a recovery on the d drive partion. There are about 1 1/2 years I have upgraded Vista to XP. Then recently updated to Windows 7. kept the 3 OS's so I got triple starting capability. Then at home, I added 3 network shares, while I was using a lot of drive letters. When actions are undone, Windows maps a USB key which has not been connected before system one of the disconnected but readers still show in Explorer, the name of the drive on the part of disconnected. However, if the USB is connected to the system before, Windows appears to map a drive letter that he remembered from before.

    In my case, Windows 7 has been installed recently, so there is no remebered for my USB drive letter. I was away from home, so I had a lot of disconnected shares. In addition, now that I got a 3rd OS added to the system, I used a lot of letters from the GET go by car. It's much more likely that I would meet this feature after installing Windows 7.

    Hello Paula,.

    I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

    Did you receive an error message when the C: drive letter change?

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    Unfortunately, drive letter cannot be changed for the C: drive as it acts as a boot partition.

    Some programs make reference to specific drive letters. If you change a drive letter, it could be that these programs do not work correctly.

    Windows 7 can help to back up the system partition by preventing reformatting or deletion of it, and if the system partition is distinct from a (as recommended) boot partition, it will not automatically assigned a drive letter.

    For reference:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-are-system-boot-partitions#1TC=Windows-7

    However, you can create another partition to save your data and files.
    Reference:
    Create and format a hard disk partition
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/create-format-hard-disk-partition#create-format-hard-disk-partition=Windows-7

    Note: Formatting a volume will destroy all data on the partition. Be sure to back up any data you want to save before you begin.

    I hope this information helps.

    Please let us know if you need more help.

    Open disk management, find the drive using the drive letter you want to use, change the drive letter of this to 'Z', find the new drive, change the drive letter that you want, and then change the drive letter of the drive you have labeled it 'Z' to a drive letter of your taste.

  • No driver for the Flash drive on the HP website

    Hello.

    I just bought a HP USB Flash Drive v125w of Fry.

    I just wanted to save my files if I can get a new computer.

    After putting in the Flash drive, my computer said that there is no driver.

    So I go to the HP website to download a driver for this product.

    I can't find a. I can find a driver for the v120w driver, but not my v125w driver.

    This is a new product... Why is there not a driver?

    I call HP and ask... where can I get a driver? Why is there a driver for this product? And if it does not exist, can you please tell me what Flash Player I can use with my Windows 98 computer?

    Of course, they can not answer simple questions. They don't know anything. All they can say is "if it isn't on the Web site, then there no driver." They can advise me on Flash Drive can I use for my Windows 98 computer, and where a driver is available.

    I can't believe that I've had to work so hard to get so little information. Incredible.

    Can someone help me?  I just need a pilot to save my files so I can get a new computer.  Someone can tell me which driver I can use for Windows 98 and has a driver to help me install it?

    I can't believe that HP could not answer that for me. Totally LAME.

    Message edited by Soliel 08/25/2009 12:51

    Thanks for the reply.

    Just for the record, I punched in this product several times in different ways and came up with nothing on the HP site.  I came to the top with the 120 series but not the 125.  I don't know how you did it, but I couldn't.

    And the package doesn't say anything about compatibility.  He uses that word at all.

    Nevertheless, I thought it on mine... without the help of HP.

  • Is it dangerous for the HARD drive, the icon she samples D:\?

    Is it dangerous for the HARD drive, the icon she samples D:\?
    .. The example of the start menu button is also in D:\. (Classic interface)

    I downloaded the 'old' Nice and exchanged icons on my desktop.
    The user, workstation, trash ones and two new folders using the icons for them also.

    The question is - I moved these new icon samples in D:\ (which is not the main drive) and I was wondering if the PIN that reads the HARD drive is physically mobile all the time on one side of the disc to another. Because the icons are located in the D:\... and these icons are defined on elements that are found in C:\, lol!

    so I was wondering If it damage the hard drive (physically)!

    Please answer, thank you!

    Hi Kaloyan,

    Keep the icons in the D drive or any other drive which is not the main drive does not affect the HARD drive somehow.
  • 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.

    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.

    I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive.  Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files.  I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter that has been designated by Lightroom to store my photos.  I could go into my Windows 10 and reset the player to the letter that Lightroom has given at the beginning of the external hard drive.   However, I know this can happen again, if I connect any stick USD or another device, while the external hard drive is not connected to my laptop.   I found the information that I can do the new designation of the final drive by choosing a letter it is 1/2 way or higher in the alphabet.   I would like to turn an external hard drive on a strong letter, warns we hope this previous problem.   My question is, if I already have a lot of pictures on this external hardrive with the designation of the current drive, how it becomes a higher letter and have 6 Lightroom recognizes files, now under the new designation of drive letter without having to go to each photo individually and manually force Lightroom 6 find each photo.  It would take more time than I'd like to lose.  Is there a way to get just 6 Lightroom to recognize the new disk designation has changed and is able to find all of the existing files?

    I have read the ADOBE LightRoom 6 manual and seem not to be able to find anything on how to do it.

    Any help would be welcome.

    Thank you!

    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)

  • Every three months or more, the drive letter for the backup drives jumps from one to another

    I posted it here because there is no whole final forum for the Windows OS line.  It is a problem that has been around since Microsoft made Windows XP and, frankly, I'm tired of it.

    I have some backup players; one that I'm pretty much every day, whenever I have the machine and another every two weeks of use.  I make sure they are always attached to a specific USB port so that the computer does not change in response.  But still, every three months or so, the drive letter handling these jumps from one to the other.  I run a Web site today and use a p2p Manager to transfer files to my machine, but most of them depend on the drive, so I could really do without what is happening every three months... all because your company won't repair it or provide an intuitive, ToolPart beginners' of the Windows operating system, forcing to keep a disk permanently assigned to the same letter.

    I know that this is part of basic programming because it is something that Microsoft has simply been unwilling to identify and correct.  I know also there are millions of people like me who suffer from this problem.  For the love of God, please make this tool a priority for Windows 8 and build one for Windows 7/Vista!
    * original title - your drive letter management is (Windows, all versions) *.

    I don't think that the USB ports are wired so that the computer OS is informed of the port which has been consulted.

    I also doubt that you will get Microsoft to change at this point.  As a solution, I give my readers a volume name, and so I don't know which drive is no matter which drive letter that has.
