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

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

Drive system corrupt, how can I get windows 7 on a new drive?
My drive hard system is corrupt and I want to replace it with a new hard drive.
I can't back up my files or create the disk image windows won't let me because of the corruption.
The computer randomly restarts and various other problems are happening, and I tried destructive restore but gave up after waiting 15 hours it ends!
My main question is how I'd get windows on a new drive?
I have a product key but no installation dvd and I am running windows 7 Home premium. Most of the messages that you have a dvd installtion or a backup of your system, but I can't find a post that deals with this specific problem
Any help would be greatly appreciated
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:

Here are installation tutorials

How can I get Windows 7 Pro 32 bit automatically connect to drives mapped to the startup?
How can I get Windows 7 Pro 32 bit automatically connect to drives mapped to the startup?
Hello
It should connect as much as the other computers with their car are on the account users are properly configured, security passwords are defined and firewall do not block.
If the system is only yours and there is no need of local network security, enable the guest account on all computers, give them all the permissions and there will be less to worry about connection mapped, but local drive without security.
PS Ce preceding is based on cable connections. If the connections are wireless, it's another story.
Due to the maturity of the wireless adapter and their support through the OS, automatic connection could not occur.
Wireless is great, but most of us try to sneak out of it the uses it was not designed for.
