• Floppy drive icon not shown in "Devices with removable storage" in Windows 7

  I have a floppy drive connected to my motherboard, and it has been activated on my board Super IO Configuration in my UEFI.  I have a hard drive with Windows 7 installed, and a hard drive with Windows XP installed.

  In Windows XP, in the window my computer , under "Devices with removable storage", my floppy drive icon here and I can access the drive.  But in Windows 7, the floppy icon is not there, and when I type "A:" in the search bar, I get "the system cannot find the drive specified."

  I checked the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices registry, and I see the A: drive among the mounted devices.  I checked my Device Manager window, and I see 'floppy drive controllers' in the list, but not "floppy drive", I see in Windows XP.

  How can I get my floppy drive activated or reactivated in Windows 7, with the floppy disk icon showing?

  Never mind.  I received my floppy drive in Windows 7.

  Here's what I did:

  I'm back in my UEFI and disabled the floppy controller in my Super IO Configuration and starts in the two Windows operating systems.  The floppy drive, of course, disappeared in Windows XP.

  I tucked my UEFI and re-activated my floppy controller.  Now, the drive appears in Windows XP and Win7.

• Why are external USB drives not considered "Devices with removable storage" by Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium?

  Readers USB Flash RAM, CD drive USB, readers of CD - RW USB, USB DVD +-RW drives and DVD-ROM USB readers are all handled by Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium as "devices with removable storage".  To check this, look under the "Computer" entry in the menu 'start '.  However, if one uses as a USB external hard drive, that one is listed under 'hard drive '.  Programs noticed this, and some of them refuse to use it as a removable media drive, even if it is technically removable media, with its electronic and all.  It's kind of weird, because you can't remove the RAM on the USB Flash memory drives either.  Is there a way to get readers to external USB hard drive listed under "devices with removable storage"?

  -Yekta

  USB hard drives do not seem material RMB (removable media bit) bit set.

  I tried to format my external drive scratch NTFS (it has been formatted in this way, but I have re-formatted to ensure that), and it always happens as "Local Disk".  Also, I put the "Optimize for quick removal" option on the parameters of the disk driver hard software.  Which doesn't change anything either.  It came even as "Local Disk".  Finally, I formatted the drive with the FAT32 file system (use some flash drives).  The drive still shows as "Local Disk".  In the tests described above, I still "withdrew safely" the disk first and then re-connected.

  Thanks for the help, I now know it is a bit material in the electronic control unit which controls special registration of the drive in the operating system.

  As you reinstalled just Vistas, you would have a very limited number of Restore Points!

  Try the system restore.

  If this does not work, and you don't know what you were doing, reinstall it again.

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  See you soon.

• How manage/remove startup programs in Windows 7

  Crikey!

  You people are things made and actions 'hard '!

  With "how manage/remove programs startup in Windows 7?",...

  Everything I've ever done is to find the startup program (in the "All programs" list, have a good overview of what is there, then, VERY SIMPLY, remove those I don't want to open at startup.)

  When THIS is done, the program (s), I have DELETED does NOT start.

  At the start, never!

  Period!

  Some software packages will place their TITLE... at the beginning, without your consent.

  And, it's 'how' I get rid of them. I have this same title... in the "All programs" list, in any case!

  Autoruns is a great program for geeks, but for the average home user it generates so much information it can be a nightmare.

  Stick to the MsConfig - Startup tab in a 1st time, but start in programs and features when cleaning. You don't need to worry about something in the boot if you can remove the program anyway.

  Printer drivers HP is a good example. Many have their program of customer Participation and the consumables installation order plated on by default, but for the majority of users, as they are not necessary. Despite a message claiming that, on the contrary they do not affect printer operation at all.

• What is normal for the backup of XP SP3 and the startup type of the removable storage service?

  I was getting ready to plan and attempt a clean full backup for tonight.  I have the backups created on several entities, currently backup but have a very stable system at the moment and wanted to try to make a clean backup file.  That day has finally arrived after been forced a corrupted system files hard drive failure "repair" critical and forced me to go back to SP1a (my Windows Genuine valid CD which I highly appreciate) in order to obtain any boot system, including safe mode and console mode.  Repair has presented many incompatibilities at the level of program and system, including the basic WMI and COM of the corruption system.  Three months later... it of time to update my backups and recovery procedures and hope that this does not happen!

  In preparation, I decided to refresh my memory on the use of the backup and by browsing the Help and Support Service Center files.  One of the first things I noticed was "storage removable service must be started for the backup works correctly."  Audit and inspection of my existing Services using computer (Local) management, I have observed that after a normal windows startup, the removable storage service is not started with manual startup type.  I use a USB drive connected as my backup media, and it is fully operational as a normally formatted NTFS data disk volume.  I have windows indexing disabled on this volume.  Is the type of service required removable storage of normal manual started?  The backup program will automatically start this service?  I know I've never manually started it myself and backups seem to work well.  Should we change the startup type to automatic?

  -Thanks, Jerry

  I would like to leave as a textbook.

  The Service will start (if capable) as soon as ntbackup.exe begins.

  If you want to see, with your Services window related to the function of RS place and it will not work and the manual.

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  Ntbackup.exe

  Click OK to start the backup and the Restore Wizard.

  Go back to your Services window and press F5 to refresh and SR Service should now work.

  When you exit the backup and the Restore Wizard, the RS Service stops (it may take a few minutes), and you may need to close the Services applet and reopen it to notice she's moved to manual and not running.

  You will see things like present to the event system log viewer:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Service Control Manager
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 7036
  The removable storage service entered the running state.

  (this is when you go out the backup and the Restore Wizard and wait a few minutes... then the Service stops itself...)

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Service Control Manager
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 7036
  Description:
  The removable storage service entered the stopped state.

  It's like aid and assistance...  Most of the people (including the technical support engineers who are hired by Microsoft) say to set the Startup Type to automatic, but you don't have to...  Set it to manual and it will start fine when he needs start (if he can).

  There is no need for these Services (and many other Services in XP) as starting at each restart and run all day without doing anything.

  Here is a good list that will help you understand your XP Services:

• historical files won't accept the removable storage like SD card

  Hello

  not until I got my Tablet Surface Pro, I discovered that I am not able to ADD a SD memory card to the library, then having these backup files upwards through the history of the files.

  Historical files only accepts items (drives/folders) that are included in the library, correct?

  SD cards and other (disks) removable storage cannot be included in a library, correct?

  It could have been no problem in the past, but with computers as a shelf where you add storage capacity by inserting an SD card, it would be wise to look at it as a real player and allow removable storage appear in the library, right? I mean the USB portable drives are not really different and they can be added to a library.

  Does anyone know a 'trick' to be a part of removable storage library?

  Thank you

  Frank

  I managed to get the history file to my SD card backup in any first format in NTFS then authenticated users permissions.

  Click right on NTFS formatted the SD card and select Properties then the tab Security , under group or user name , click the button Edit then Add , and enter the user authenticated followed check names, OK etc.

  Then create a folder, such as SD-Documents and then right-click on that folder and select include in library > Documents or library what ever you want added to folder.

  Works on my device Windows RT as well as my PC 13 of Yoga.

• How can I transfer downloaded internet files firefox 'downloads' in the menu to another file or removable storage device.

  Many of my internet downloads went to "downloads of firefox" and I do not see how to transfer them elsewhere.

  Hello

  In the "Downloads" one window entry right click and choose 'open containing folder '. This will open the folder where the downloaded file is stored and you can copy it to the desired location / device.

  Choose "Tools" > "Options" > "Général" you shows the path to the folder where Firefox is save the downloads, but does not open the folder itself. You can see the downloads folder path near the entrance "save files to" around the middle of the window. If the full path is not visible, click "Browse". Here you can also change the location where Firefox is save downloads. For example you can replace your removable storage if the unit is installed and always available.
