local drives

I recently had my Presario replaced SR5550F HD (old one crashed).  I am running VISTA. I use an external hard drive LaCie FW for all my data, I call my LaCie J; drive.  It has 3 partitions, I:, J: and K: I use I have; for all of my data. J & K: are empty. Since the internal HD replacement, I noticed in the Explorer who, in addition to the local disk C: and local drive J; He has also filed a "network drive" designation (name of the home drive) j (Z.)  It has the same data as my partition I: on the external J: drive.  I do not understand why it shows up as a network drive.  The problem (I guess it can be bound) is that very often, when I boot I do not receive my J: drive and I get a message saying "Coul not reconnect all network drives.  It is obvious immediately, because my wallpaper is located on the external data drive.  I'm not the letter of the system and have no idea how solve this.  The only solution I found is to stop, then restart, in which case it connects.  Of course, this is getting really old.  Suggestions, please?

Hello djangobill,

Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

I understand that you are having problems with your computer does not connect a network drive that have not mapped you. Accually according to what you said in your post you have mapped when you set your wallpaper to an image on the usb drive. The system created an internal mapping that image and when he starts the load operating system before your USB hard drive is added and it loses the connection to cause you all this grief. You have two options, as I see it.

You can move the image from the external drive on your local disk and reset it as your wallpaper. As the operating system would break the link with the old image it is more to keep the internal mapping and your problem should be solved.

Your other option is to go into your BIOS and enable Legacy devices, it would load your USB to first image mapped to be accessible when the operating system is going to get him.

I hope I have shed light on the question for you. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • I have lost my original photos from my local drive if I optimized my iCloud library?

    I moved my photo (900 GB) library on an external drive. The value in pictures new external player as the new library system library. Now when I turn on iCloud it tells me I have to optimize my photos. I'm afraid of losing my originals from my local drive. Optimization of my library will erase my originals from my local computer? I have to delete my old library in iCloud that has already gone through the pain staking the download process (759GB) in order to reuse my iCloud? I try to avoid to keep my computer another 3 months. Simply cross ICloud cannot check the new library with my iCloud library and move on. How can I start again using my iCloud? Please give me some advice or assistance. Thank you

    The value in pictures new external player as the new library system library. Now when I turn on iCloud it tells me I have to optimize my photos.

    What is your external drive only has 1 TB of storage?  You have found the warning because the 900 GB in iCloud and the size of your current library on the external hard drive will not fit on the disc. If you have a disc, use a drive twice the size of your library of Photos, so you will not miss storage in the years to come. Any drive that you use with pictures must have Mac OS Extended (Journaled) file system.

    iCloud library does not know, the pictures are identical. It will download all the photos in the library moved to iCloud and check if they are duplicates. And it only allows you to introduce you, if you use 'Optimize', if the combined size of the photos in iCloud and on your Mac is larger than the available storage.

    And Yes, the "optimize" option can cause some originals will be deleted. It is completely dynamic.  You can turn this option off again directly after that you turned the library on the external drive as your iCloud photo library for re-download all original, and before Photos was able to start optimization. Do it only if you are sure, the library will fit.

    If you do not all projects in your photo library and did not use the function "Faces" and has invested a lot of work by naming the faces, you could simply start with an empty library on your external drive and let the photos to download icloud to the empty library. It will be faster to download again and the merger of the library moved in your library to iCloud. The only downside, the tags of faces will be missing and your books and other projects. If you need to keep a backup copy of the library has moved.

    I have HTML static pages on my hard drive that contain my stories I regularly update and publish a story accommodation site via FTP.

  • Satellite U400-112: impossible to format the local drive (damaged MFT?)

    Hello!

    I had a pretty serious problem with my HARD drive.
    250 GB HARD drive
    C: 116 GB - NTFS - Windows XP (Vista initially)
    D: 1, 5 GB - NTFS - (Vista Recover?..)
    E: 117 GB - RAW (was NTFS prior to crash)

    Local drive E: MFT have been damaged because of the virus attack (I hope not because of my madness!). It's NTFS, now it's RAW. I got all the necessary data partition with program ZAR, but all my attempts to recover or just the format E: remained unsuccessful.
    None of the defective sectors found on the HARD drive. Standard Windows tool to format the disks fails: 'it's impossible to finish the formatting of E:

    Before this problem with the E: drive, I had several problems with HARD drive. I have never divided re discs, to Partition Magic from the beginning he identified incorrectly. I tried Partition Magic 7 and 8.
    Link: [error screensaver | http://cs1498.vkontakte.ru/u169802/154397/x_3a82b4fb.jpg]

    The problem is that the special programs (I tried "find and Mount") also could not identify partitions to correct the defective MFT. I thought that low-level format can help me, but I heard, that the use of all applications for other producers can probably destroy my HARD drive. Are there only special applications of Toshiba developed for such cases? Or you can advice me something else?

    Thanks for your help!

    P.S. These applications did not help me:
    Find and Mount (can't find the HARD drive)
    Acronis Recovery Expert (does not find the HARD drive)
    OnTrack EasyRecovery Professional (does not resolve the error, but help to recovery data)
    HDD Regenerator

    Thus you get back all your important data?

    I would like to just launch Recovery to restore the HARD drive to its factory condition. If the recovery fails, you can try to delete the partitions with FDISK from a startup MS-DOS disk. Free bootdisks can be found at www.bootdisk.com

    FDISK can also repair a Master Boot Record by running this command: FDISK/MBR
    But it is not 100% reliable, it could cause more harm than good.

  • Local drive: totally empty D?

    Hey!

    I have a HP Compaq laptop. I use this laptop for 4 years. I have 4 local drives.
    (1) local disk: C
    (2) local disk: D
    (3) new Volume: E
    Presario_RP:F 4)
    So, today, I open my computer, and I see that my Local drive: D is empty. He had all my files into it. But now it is empty. When I click it, he asks me if I want to format. I click on Cancel. When I right click on it, the computer does not respond. Then after a while, it does. When I saw his properties, he said that the used space and free space are 0 bytes in size. Since then, my computer is very slow. Sometimes it gets stuck.
    So, I want to know how to recover all my files and how to speed up my computer. Help, please. Thanks in advance. Here is my card:

  • How to map a network drive, such as a local drive

    I have a program (Samsung Link) that can only detect the local drives to share with my TV. I have a network drive I want to share with her, but it does not detect it (I obviously mapped it and it is visible in Windows Explorer on my Windows 7 Pro 64 bit PC).

    How can I map the drive so that it will be detected as a local drive?

    How can I map the drive so that it will be detected as a local drive?

    Depends on intelligence and enforcement of Samsung Link needs...
     
    Might be able to create a symbolic link to a local folder (unused) on a local computer and it MIGHT (* could *) can fool the Samsung app.

    symbolic link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753194.aspx

    so...

    Map a network share directory, you can use this command:

    net use \\Server\ShareName


    Then... If you want to access the network share through a location on your C: drive, you'll want to set up a symbolic link:

    mklink /d  C:\Folder\NewShareName \\Server\ShareName 
    

    Now, when you browse to C:\Folder\NewShareName, you'll see the content of \\Server\ShareName...
     
    Perhaps IF you could point to C:\Folder\NewShareName Samsung
    (* NewShareName shouldn't exist in C:\Folder before running the command "mklink".)

    1. I tried running SFC scan, but there was no problems found

    Thank you

    Hello

    You may need to get a third-party synchronization software by using your favorite search engine to perform the task.

    Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    Given that the other person is the owner of the file, he or she may also need to give you permission to share the file/folder.

    For more information, see the article:

    What is Sync Center?

  • Why two local drives appear on my PC if I have one?

    Why two local drives appear on my PC if I have one?

    It seems to be the partition of 100 MB of the system default, but she appears on 'My PC' or 'computer '...
    I leave it there or what should I do?
    Thanks to all for the replies! :)

    The 100 MB System Partition is created by Windows 7 during installation and it is usually hidden in almost all cases. What might have happened in your computer, it is that, somehow, a drive letter has been assigned to that partition, and this is why it is displayed in the window of your computer. You can delete the associated with the System Partition drive letter on your computer to make this new hidden partition. You must not remove or make changes within this partition, it will leave your computer in the absence of priming.

    To remove the drive letter of the System Partition:

    1. click on Start, type diskmgmt.msc in the search box and press ENTER to open the disk management window.
    2. right click on the partition system booked about 100 MB of size in question and then click change drive letters or paths.
    Note: Be careful here, do not make any changes to the drive letter assigned to the other partitions in the computer, which would be a disaster.
    3. then in the pop box - next up, Select the drive letter assigned to the partition, and then click Remove.
    4. There will be a couple of guests you say that if you remove the drive letter, some programs that rely on drive letter may stop working, you can safely accept these guests. Once you are done by clicking OK in these pop-ups, close all open windows and restart the computer.

    You shouldn't see that partition in the window of the computer now. It will be useful.
