• How to get Windows 7 to recognize more than 4 GB or 8 GB USB driver for ReadyBoost?

  I have a USB stick 8 GB that I used it with Vista for ReadyBoost.  Of course Vista only recognized 4 GB for ReadyBoost, but Windows 7 is supposed to recognize more.  However, Windows 7 recognizes more than 4 GB stick for ReadyBoost.  How can I get Windows & to recognize more than 4 GB for the ReadyBoost.

  Hello

  You can try to format the disk in the format exFAT?  Open computer with the inserted Flash drive.  It just right-click on it and select format.  The last option, you will see is exFAT and there, use the menu drop down.  Select and format the drive using this.  Then after it's done, right click on it again and select Properties.  You'll see the ReadyBoost tab.  Click on it and it will let you know if the device can be used and that therefore to ripped it on.

• 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

• How to get windows 7 to recognize the drives after the letter Y or Z

  I had a very bad habit to make 3-4 all new hard drive partition that I buy and now because of this HDD my registration including a dvd and virtual dvd and external hard drive went up to the letter X, now I have another 1 TB hd I would like to add, but the problem I've seen , it's that windows dosent take more drives after Y or Z? How can I get windows 7 beyond the letter Y or Z as I can't afford to withdraw a single hard drive all have important data on them. More I need some free readers for as and when I plug my pen drives or by phone (which takes 2 drive letters)...

  Rrrr, you cannot

  However, you can use your HARD drive as an NTFS folder. As far as I know, these folders only on C:\ appeare.

  So if you have 3 partition, you will have something like this: C:\Part1, C:\Part2, C:\Part3.

  Then, right click on computer-> manage-> disk management.

  Here, you can select your HARD drive, create new partitions and use them as NTFS folders.

  Then, right click a partition, change drive letter, and click Add or change and you will be able to ride like a NTFS folder.

  Or, Yes, you can merge 2 partitions.

  Hello NavarroIT,

  How to get windows media Center in windows developer preview?

  Media Center has been temporarily removed from the Windows 8 Developer Preview. It will be added in the scheduled beta end February 2012.

  Media Center

  While not a central theme of your comments, I have received about 50 emails about Media Center. I would like to reassure customers that Media Center will certainly be part of Windows 8. No doubt about it. Knowing how strong the support of Media Center is between the testers of the preliminary version, we still have to do to ensure quality and compatibility with supplements is what you expect still in pre-release (as for any version of Windows, compatibility is an important effort, and when we work on the underlying video engine (for example, make sure that the features that push these areas receive adequate coverage).

• Please someone help on how to get windows 7 drivers for compaq nc6220

  I need assistance on how to get windows 7 drivers, to drive the foregoing, named mobile.

  Thank you

  Hi brephosa8701,

  Unfortunately the nc6220 doesn't have Windows 7 drivers on the HP.com website, I suggest that you try to use Windows Vista drivers and see if that can solve some problems for you.

• 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?

  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.

• How to get windows 7 Professional operating for existing key?

  How to get windows 7 Professional operating system software for existing key

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?
