How can I get Windows 7 to recognize my NAS drive as a file server?
I just bought a new desktop computer with Windows 7 (the first time I used it at home). I have three drives NAS; one of them is an of Maxtor Central axis. I use the Central axis as a file server, it has Word, Excel and other Office files in addition to my music library and a handful of videos. Whenever I try to open a document, say Word, Windows 7 does not show the Maxtor under my network. It shows one of the other drives NAS (Iomega). When I right click on the network, click "Open in a new window", I see the Maxtor drive. However when I click on it, Windows will open Windows Media Player. I see only three songs, which aren't even mine; I think they were samples placed on the disk by an application.
Other machines on my network (a computer laptop PC and Mac) continue to be able to see the of Maxtor Central axis.
I can open my documents giving the fully qualified network path "\\Mca-054e16\Public", but it's a pain. I can't map a drive letter for the drive; I just get the small circle who constantly.
How can I get Windows 7 see Maxtor Central Axis like a file server and not only a media server?
Thanks in advance for any help that anyone may be able to provide,
Nolan
Hello
· How do you set up the network?
· Have you used a Maxtor software?
The Seagate knowledge base indicates that his NASwas released before the release of Windows 7. Therefore, it has not been tested in this environment and is not supported by Technical Support. http://Seagate.custkb.com/Seagate/CRM/selfservice/search.jsp?docid=211931&NewLang=en&HiLite=Maxtor+central+axis+Windows7#note

I have connected a recovered hard drive (Western digital) outside my computer crashed, that was a win xp to another computer running windows 8. The new computer doesn't recognize at all. Nothing does show up as an extra hard drive. There is in fact no answer I can see at all. Scary is as I said this is a new computer and I'm not at all familiar with where to find anything. I have to go to 'help' to even find the control panel I am as unfamiliar with it. I would like to import all of my pictures and documents from the old hard drive. Any help please?

How can I get windows xp to recognize a new disk of 1 TB sata hard?
How can I get windows xp to recognize a new disk of 1 TB sata hard?
Hello NavarroIT,
In addition to the previous comments, I have link for HD is not recognized. It is an external drive. However, without knowing the manufacturer of your hard drive, you will need to check on this end. You may need to format the disk first. I hope this helps.

Original title: the file format of external hard drive is the RAW and not NTFS. How can I get Windows 7 to read RAW hard drives without having to format the hard drive due to important work on this subject?
I put the hard drive on an XP and Vista machine and can read the hard drive, but not with Windows 7
Hi Zling,
It works on other OS? When did you finally read the disc and with what OS? If you can read the drive and make a backup of the data on this subject, I you suggest to backup the data on the drive and then put it in using the NTFS file system.
I hope this helps! Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

Where are the files stored WindowsLiveMail? Under what article directory. I have "tons" of e-mail messages stored on the old disk and need to move them to the new drive faster. How can I do?
The location of the store folder, which contains all the messages, calendars and the account settings, is configurable by the user. The default location is
C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live MailIf the installer of WLMail is a record storage in the default location, it normally acknowledge and take into use if. The only user that would be required should reinstate saved passwords. If this is to succeed, the old and new installations of WLMail normally must be exactly the same construction. The storage location must be in place in the default location on the new drive before installing WLMail. Also, the current user must be the owner of the record store to its new location.
If the old drive is installed on the same computer as the new facility in WLMail, you can point the Import Wizard to import messages to the old folder of the store. They will find under storage folders into imported folders.

Have recently updated mobile wifi, how can I get my printer to recognize my new wifi
Original title: mobile WiFi
You must be a little specific (brand, model, W7 version etc.) to get a helpful response, I think. Then someone with a similar configuration may be better able to help.
You may be better to ask the support of the manufacturer of the printer wireless itself. However, this http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/install-printer#install-printer=windows-7 and its related links gives the general idea.

Hello rsmith3042000
What kind of system do you have?
Do you have an XP installation CD?
Here are installation tutorials

If you had only a recovery partition, it's lost now so you might contact the manufacturer and ask for the CD recovery.
