  • ReadyShare drive unusable in the DOS command prompt

    I have a Nighthawk C700 - AC 1900 WiFi cable router Modem where I configure drive ReadyShare USB access.

    When I type the UNC "\\READYSHARE\USB_Storage" and type the Admin password for write access - I "can" see the files/disc in Windows Explorer. I can map the UNC path as a player U:\ and I can see/access it very well in the GUI.

    However...

    Once I go to a CMD command prompt (even tried as admin) - I see 'no' this player U:\. Error message = "system cannot find the drive specified."

    ReadyShare drive is a USB 2.0 disk formatted in Win7 to NTFS 2 TB external.

    I'm on Windows 10 v1607.

    If I connect the USB directly to my computer - I can see/access this drive U:\ locally and use the CMD utilities against it very well (robobopy.exe).

    Anyone working on this issue and or knows how to get CMD to use/see the ReadyShare full-access/write?

    Thank you...

    Update: it's working now. ?

    I've upgraded to the latest version of Windows (1607.14951.1000) 10.

    I also upgraded Netgear engineering to v2.4.32.

    I "can now use/see the drive Readyshare in a CMD Shell."

    I can run normal DOS commands on this very well mapped drive.

    I had to modify my script robocopy to remove the /COPYALL and /ZB settings as I guess that Linux/NAS does not support these settings, but I can now, with the click of a shortcut on the Desktop - Sync/restore my files the on the network to the NAS drive.

    I don't know if it's the change in Windows or in engineering who has been around.

    hope this helps others too.

    I think it means that you do not have the correct privileges. Did you use an elevated command prompt?

    You can do the same thing with the netsh command

  • Re: How to run the update to the BIOS of the DOS - Satellite A100 PSAA8A command prompt?

    I'm having some trouble with my GF Satellite A100 (PSAA8A). When installing a new HARD drive with a clean install of XP, I flashed by chance, one of the BIOS when installing drivers. Its kind of bricks now.

    Using a floppy disk CD boot, combined with the update of the V6.00 BIOS, I goes to a DOS command prompt, but not sure where to go now.

    Under * Tradional BIOS update *.
    See the link: [http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?z=234&service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=B IOS & FID = TRO0000000b07]

    It is said:
    + 1. Extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder. +
    + 2. Three subfolders will be generated in the temporary folder. "docs", "update - 3.5' disc', 'Update - CD - R or CD - RW +.
    + 3. Insert a 1.44 MB diskette formatted in the floppy disk drive. +
    + 4. Run the *.exe file in the folder "" Update - 3.5 disk ". Follow the instructions on the screen. A BIOS update diskette will be generated. +

    But there is no 3 folder. There is only a single called S10VWF that contains Winphlash etc. (see photo url). As far as I know, I can only run Winphlash Windows environment due to its GUI. Then what should I do? Help!

    Hi Brett

    There is a little thing that you have forgotten or supervised.

    The BIOS you downloaded is a version of BIOS to WIN. It s not traditional BIOS update!

    The description published in your ad describes the update using the traditional BIOS.
    But the Toshiba driver page only provides updates of BIOS based VICTORY. The BIOS can be upgraded only from Windows operating system running.

    Please don't mix these two possibilities of updates!

    You are in the Recovery Console, which is in the wrong place to do a clean install. It's what you want to do, Yes? Not a repair installation? And you have already backed up all your data, because you know that after a clean installed nothing you put on the computer since you he'll be there, Yes? Forgive me for asking these questions, but I would rather err on the side of safety. Assuming you want to do a clean install, here are the instructions:

  • command to bring up a command prompt at an administrative command prompt

    I did too much work with Windows XP lately. Now, I'm working on a Vista system troubleshooting, and I continue to start a command prompt, run a few commands and then says that I don't have enough privileges even if I am logged on as an administrator. Is there a command that I can use command line so that it becomes a guest of administration for the times I forgot to do a right click and "runas admin".

    Basically, I'm looking for the equivalent of typing "knew" under Linux, although XP and 2000 taught me this connection as the admin is, as logging as root. This is no longer the case without user control gene, I want to do on this system, because I don't trust of the user that I'm fixing the deactivation.

    Really, it's amazing how everyone is so excited for you say 1000 ways to get to a command prompt by closing the one you have and by creating a shortcut to admniistrator runas.  You're not a fool, and you know how to do this.

    There's no equivalent of "su" I've never been able to find.

    Your command prompt, you can type: runas / user: machinename\adminuser cmd, but who will always ask an admin password and opening a new window cmd...

    This is sure of what you want, and it is faster than messing around with a shortcut.  It is not always exactly answer your question, but maybe that's good enough.

  • frustration here command prompt

    I know that SOMETIMES when you hold down the SHIFT key while clicking on a BLANK space in a window of Windows Explorer, you can get the "open command prompt here" to appear.
    It also works if you hold the SHIFT key and right-click on a folder in this window to open a command prompt in that folder.

    However, if I work with a lot of files in a folder and to run a command with a wildcard character, it is VERY difficult to get the "prompt here" to appear because there is not any space in the window.

    Is there a way to always appear as the XP registry hack? I found this link, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/make-command-prompt-here-always-display-for-folders-in-Windows-Vista/

    If I'm missing something, as a location for a click in a window FULL of files, please post the thing to "invite command here" appear when there is no empty space in the window.

    Use a large window of the Explorer. If you don't have too many selected columns, the space to the right of the last column will serve your empty space.  If you have something selected, you must click once in the empty space to deselect. Then shift-right click in the same space and you will get the context menu with 'open command here window '.

    As an alternative, create a batch file, say newcmd.bat, with a line like this:

    @for %% in (%1) @cmd /k cd /d % ~ dpf

    Then make a right click any file, choose 'Open with' and get in your new .bat file.

    If you only view files (they don't give you 'Open with'), shift-click-right, one of them and choose "open command here window.  When the window appears, type 'cd..'.  (You don't need a space after 'cd', but of course, it wouldn't hurt).  Lame, perhaps, but pretty fast.

    If the .bat file line is not supposed, ask about the order FOR.  You miss out on improvements in automation.

  • How can I configure the standard user profile in the impossibility to use the command prompt on windows7

    My teen age son knows how to get into the command prompt and use the computer as an administrator temporarily... How can I stop this?  It has a standard user account.

    On the flavors below, you must edit the registry directly by creating the value of HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System! DisableCMD.


     
    How to change the registry? I need more specific measures.
     
    Thank you
    Kathy
    This is not a trivial process for non trained. Also note that open a command prompt does NOT give your son of additional privileges unless he knows the password for an administrator account.
    Please note that if you skip any step then you may have a machine that won't start longer.
    1. Burn a CD to repair Windows via Control Panel / backup and restore.
    2. Test this boot the machine with her CD in the repair of Windows.
    3. Label this CD as "Repair Windows CD", then store it in a safe place.
    4. Start normally. Logging in as an administrator account.
    5. Create a Restore Point.
    6. Log in under your son's account.
    7. Click on the Globe to start, and then type regedit.exe and press ENTER. Enter the credentials of the administrator in case of dispute.
    8. HKey_Current_User\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows-access
    9. If there is no windows system key, create it:
      Click Edit / new / key, type system, and then press ENTER.
    10. Click on the key to the system.
    11. Click Edit / new / DWord, and then type the letters DisableCMD and press Enter.
    12. Double-click the DisableCMD value, and then type 1 in the data field and press ENTER.
    13. Try to open a command prompt. You should get a message of "deny".

    And just to clarify my and other previous posts... you do NOT get to a command prompt and start your receiver from sqlplus.  sqlplus is a command-line that connects to a database and provides a user interface to the question of the sql to the database statements.  lsncrctl is another command line utility, used to send commands to the listener.  lsnrctl and sqlplus are two completely separate and distinct, all tools two started from the command line of the operating system, that have nothing to do with the other.  Neither one is a kind of 'gateway' to the other.

    Hi Jack,

    This driver belongs to AsIO.sys Asus Probe. Try to uninstall Asus Probe and if you need, install again. If this does not help, uninstall Asus Probe and other tools of control such as Speedfan. Open the registry (regedit.exe) editor and search for AsIO.sys and remove all the entries that you can find.
