• Media Player 12 does not recognize removable media (drive letters, sd cards, compact flash, usb, android phones drives) as a synchronized device. Running under 7 64-bit.

  Tried and tried to make it work. According to announcements of Microsoft on removable media, you can synchronize however every time I try to get Media Player 12 to sync it search devices and just empty. I have connected devices and they have drive letters in Windows Explorer. I even clicked on the link 'open as a portable device' in Windows Explorer and then went back to media player and it doesn't. I can open whatever music is on the device in the file menu in media player. In mp 11 I could synchronize throughout the day with my removable devices. I just thought they had disabled this feature until I read that you're supposed to be able to do. I connected my Samsung Captivate as memory mass and tried as well, but obviously missed. I plugged as an MTP device and in Windows Explorer, the Autoplay option is "Sync digital media files to this device using Windows Media Player". So I think this will be a safe work, I try several times, restart the computer and the phone. Recognized again in Windows Explorer, everything seems like there should be no driver issue, but Media Player still does not recognize my camera! Help!

  Update: I left a removable USB enclosure to connect for three years and a half hours. I've forgotten about it with media player running, came back and noticed, it was listed as a device in media player. So it looks like you could synchronize this right? FAKE! I dragged music to synchronize with it and the sync button is grayed. A lot of space on the device. Well, what about MP now recognizes the drive, I'll unplug the unit and then plug it back in and maybe will correct some glitch MP knows. Wrong again! New MP can't find the device! I thought that software/computers were supposed to get faster not taking 3.5 hours to connect a device and then maybe someday in the future, you can synchronize your device. But at this point don't still no luck. I just thought that Microsoft has decided to get rid of the features within the MP to synchronize removable devices because I could never get this far until reading last night it is supposed to work with key cards, usb sd and removable media. After having no luck in getting MP to reconnect to my USB stick, I erased the cache device thinking that would help, but no, he didn't.

  Another update: when I connect my phone as a MTP device, AutoPlay rises and there is an option to synchronize with Windows Media Player. When I click on this option, MP opens and then said: "searching for devices" and never find the "SGH-I897" (Samsung Captivate). Anyway if I go up as mass storage or the DPW Windows device sees and I can move the files, but cannot get the Media Player to find it or recognize it! It should be simple enough for where Windows Media Player should be.

  It worked for me, once put into automatic I clicked on the Start button and the rebooted enumerator. I restarted WMP and there was my flash drive in the synchronization domain.

  Thank you!!

• Satellite P70-A01D: change the drive letters after the 2nd SSD upgrade

  I think it's a generic UEFI / Win 8.1 question (not according to model).

  However, FWIW, I have a Satellite P70-A01D (bought locally here in Australia).

  It is a victory of 16 GB 17.3 inch Gen4 i7 4700MQ Intel HM86 8.0 64-bit RAM.
  http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/products/computers/satellite/P70/psplpa-01d002/specifications

  I updated the OS to Win 8.1

  The P70 is supplied with a drive Bay HARD vacuum #2 - I bought a 250 GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD that I want to use as the main system disk / boot Win 8.1.

  I installed this SSD in bays #2 and from there I had no problem using the wizard of Samsun cloning software provided with the SSD (VCC 4.0) to clone my 1 TB on the SSD system.

  There are a lot of instructions from Samsun and around the web on how to clone and "substitute" of a HDD with a SSD - however there are much less when it comes to 'Add' the SSD - in the #2 Bay - while always keeping the original HDD fully functional as an additional drive.

  After execution of the cloning software, I tried just go into the settings of the UEFI on reboot and change the order of the boot drive placing the SSDS over HARD drive.

  It worked but there are obviously questions still as I had not renamed readers SSD worked as system but he was editing as D: and HARD drive was still C: and most of the system/application paths were always scheduled to access C:!

  It led to the crash and restart cycles of the Bureau (? & or explorer.exe?) and two consistent error messages:
  -"SkyDrive engine Sync host has stopped working".
  -"Host for the synchronization setting process has stopped working".

  I saw in the Control Panel-Administrative Tools-Computer Management-Online Storage-online-online right click on each drive disk management online online that I can access > however
  (a) I'm not sure if the solution I need is this simple;
  (b) nervous about change of letter on a disk while running the system; and
  (C) uncertain steps in order of evolution [IE. C: (non - sys) becomes M; D: (sys) becomes C:...

  At the moment via UEFI I'm back to working with the system on the HARD disk rather than on the SSD seems stable and without compromise of my screwing around!

  Apologies for the long post by train to make sure to include all relevant information. I think that my final goal is double win bootable 8.1 / Ubuntu 12.04 of the SSDS probably with Ubuntu on a 50 GB partition leaving 200 GB (enough?). I want to keep a slab of SSD space available for photo and video editing: +/-100 GB!

  I wondered simply assign new letters to readers, however the notes at the bottom of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows7/change-add-or-remove-a-drive-letter state:

  You cannot change a drive letter if the drive is a system partition or a boot partition.

  Suggestions please?

  Hello

  I think you could try to change the letter to readers as suggested in the Microsoft article.
  Where this is not possible, try to use 3rd party such as GParted software.
  http://gparted.org/LiveUSB.php

  You could try changing the drive letters might start to the top of the unit using the live USB version.
  But it might be possible that your system would not initialize correctly after this change.

  So you should not forget to mark the partition as bootable.

  Your comments would be appreciated

• My local disk drive letter changed from C to D after the installation of Windows XP.

  "The system (c) partition has insufficient free space. Windows installation needs at least 392 megabytes (MB) of space on this partition. "To install Windows, enough free space and restart the installation.

  Its evil!

  I don't know why its saying C

  STOP 0x0000008e error. Also setupdd.sys - address F740DFEA base at F73EC000, Datestamp41107c8f. After trying to install Windows XP on a new hard drive. Never been in the BIOS. A bit afraid to change much, but it is said that the caching and shadowing should be turned off and boot into Safe Mode, but I cannot get Safe Mode because there is no OS on the drive. Also, he wants to know if I want to install Windows XP to a partition on the disk. I looked at other readers, and there is a partition, so I think I should. Any information would be appreciated.

  Original title: 3rd slave ATAPI Incompatible drive.

  When I turn on my computer, the stalls of process startup and says '3rd slave drive ATAPI Incompatible press F1 to continue' I press F1 and then esc because I don't know what to do.  When the computer does not start, the only thing that is not working is my CD drive.  It does not read the Cd I already tried the FIX for CD/DVD.  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the disk set.  When I restart the computer and let the TI find it on its own, I get the same problem.  I tried a few system restores.  None of this has worked.  I don't know how it happened because some other people use this computer.  Could this be a problem with the plug-and-play functions.  Help please.  I am running Windows XP and have updated all Microsoft Update to see if it helped, it only has done it.

  Hi RachelH_7997,

  You can edit the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) settings or replace the CD/DVD drive and check if the problem persists. If you are not comfortable to run, you can contact the manufacturer of your computer for help.

  
  Note: change BIOS / chipset can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/chipset can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Hope the helps of information.

• How can I boot from the Windows 7 Installation CD so that I can reformat the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 7?

  How can I boot from the Windows 7 Installation CD so that I can reformat the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 7?  I have already reinstalled Windows 7 from the CD, but that has not solved my problems.  When I put the factory CD in my CD player, it won't always boot from the CD.  When I put my Windows 7 Ultimate CD in the CD drive, it doesn't always start from the CD.         I realize that the reformatting is not always necessary, but I caught a few viruses (despite anti-virus running) and I need to start with a clean hard drive.

  You must go into the BIOS and change the boot on CD order
  first push.

  How to get into your BIOS? It is not dependent on Windows, but on what he
  motherboard/BIOS card that you have. In fact, you need access to the
  BIOS before Windows begins to start. A common method is to press
  the key delete when you turn on first, but this is not necessarily true
  for your computer. Watch the display carefully when you start first;
  There is often a message here to tell you what to do. If this is not the case, check
  your system documentation or check with your provider.

• Media Player Library question after the drive letters changed - Solution found

  I wanted to share a solution to a problem that I found and after searching on Google, I found no answer.  But after some perseverance I managed to fix it myself.

  I installed Win 7 & got to read all of my media files in WMP12, no problem.  However, I changed the drive letters on drives where my video, music and photo files were required, then lost all the details of the library.

  I thought I could rebuild the media player library by updating the files included in the relevant libraries, but it did not work.  I tried various other corrections posted (mainly by deleting all files in WMP library so he could rebuild), but without success.  What I found worked was:

  Close WMP and Media Center
  Remove all the libraries (music, pictures, video) file paths, so no files have been included.
  Run Regedit
  Search for all references to the old drive letter paths & modify registry data show new car path (for example, my music was on E:\My music, after assigning new drive letter, as it's on the music of H:\My, so I searched for all instances of music E:\My replace E) : by: :)
  Restarted
  A run WMP
  Added the new path of the folder in the library
  Hey presto, he began to rebuild the music library!

  Hope this helps someone else that I spent several hours of frustration of trying to understand this one!

  Thank you. A few trips to REGEDIT and I finally found him. There were two places «...» Of the Shell folders' and '... User Shell Folders ". After making sure that both had updated letters my multimedia files are fluid in. Thanks again!

• The specific letters are not available under Windows 7 drive letters

  1.) bought a new computer - a Windows 7.

  2.) proposed two hard drives from my old computer to the new computer.

  Each 1.5 TB drive has a single NTFS partition.

  (3.) I want to use the same drive letters, I used to have for these two partitions: Z: and G:

  Z: assigning to any readers was no problem.

  Assigning G: the other drive is impossible: Windows simply does not present G: as one of the options.  Available drive letters are ABEFMNOPQSTUVW.    The letters of drive in use are

  C (the primary partition on the new hard drive in original)

  D (DVD player)

  F (one of the hard drive from the old computer has moved new computer)

  L (USB HDD)

  R (mapped to profile just to keep simple traces, make it easy to find in the Solution Explorer, etc.).

  Z (one of the hard drives from the old computer has moved new computer)

  Even if I unplug the USB stick, unplug Z and don't map r: whereupon, letter G ever becomes available for anything.  I can change F to an easily - available drive letter and return to F - but I can't change it to G.

  How G in the drop-down list with all the other available drive letters?  By the way, where the hell are I, J and K?

  How G in the drop-down list with all the other available drive letters?  By the way, where the hell are I, J and K?

  The computer has a multi card reader? If so, they probably use these drive letters.

  To show empty drives:
  1. open Windows Explorer.
  2. click on organize.
  3. click on folder and Search Options and click the view tab.
  4. uncheck the hide drives empty in the computer folder, and then click OK.

  Check if it shows the missing disks and you can now assign.

• After an update of Windows, message received as C: drive is not partitioned

  Original title: after the last update of Windows (the one with all dll changes) Windows said my C: drive wasn't patation, non-functional. anyone has this problem

  After a check in the event viewer, I found a lot of mistakes, my dll file where not pick up markets and does not. Checking system files could not run, and most of the file system soon just disappeared. Debug system, it was a joke because half of the Debug program has been corrupted. In easy words after the execution of Windows 7 months it really took me by surprise.

  I hope that no one else fell on this problem. But I would like to know something about how this could happen. I know that you cannot load an OS without first setting up the player. So how can he say that my C: drive is not the partition. Not corruption, the player checked very well, just no partition.

  A first for me so I'm curious to the power of 10 x. All thought is appreciated.

  Thank you in advance.  If I do not answer quickly, sorry Xmas time... busy explaining Windows 8...

  Oh yes reinstall Windows, to a lot of mistakes.

  Update: found information file in Event Viewer that makes a full update of window, but I also discovered that the connection supply or supply was irregular on my C: drive. This likely slowed the drive interrupt the file transfer. Always pay attention because I checked and it said that the update completed successfully. Well I will solve this problem and see what happens. Power supply has changed and it works better.  Hopw this helps someone...

  Hello

   

  Please join Microsoft Community where you can find the necessary information on Microsoft products!
