Map a drive in my computer without affecting letter

Hello

I'm a bit short on the letters here (Z is already taken by an external HARD drive and I already have a USB which uses A given that I don't have more than one disk).

I was wondering is it possible to map a folder (local or online) as a drive in my computer without using a drive letter.

I know that it is possible to use a HARD drive without using a drive letter (NTFS folder or something - don't know exactly how it is called because I have never used before) (correct me if I'm wrong).

If Windows does not support this, can you recommend some apps for it?

I'm trying to map box and SkyDrive (don't like the app from SkyDrive) and I don't want to assign a different letter drive permanently.

And sorry if this is the wrong for this topic.

Hello

  • Removal of iTunes on one computer without affecting other devices

    Salvation;

    I turn on a laptop computer to someone else at work. I have been using my personal account to my iTunes music library and it is connected to iCloud. How to clear my songs on this computer without affecting my other devices?

    Chris

    Transfer your library to another computer. When you synchronize it will search this library.

    Moving a library: quick response if you use preferences by default iTunes settings: copy the folder integer iTunes (and to ensure that all of its subfolders and files) intact at the other disk, hold down the option/ALT key to start iTunes and on request to select a library select iTunes Library.itl file in the copied folder.

    When it's to a new computer put the iTunes folder copied to the default location of Macintosh HD > users > * user name * > music (or home > music) so you don't even have to start with the down option, iTunes will automatically look for what it y.  (Make sure that it is no anything already in the iTunes folder it that you want to keep because you will replace it with the one you are moving).  Don't forget to authorize computer in iTunes to your Apple ID if you use it to synchronize with Apple devices or play multimedia DRM protected (e.g., movies).

    Ideally, you should then restore the computer to the new condition.

  • Question about moving from windows to another drive for another computer without an optical drive

    I bought new parts for an old PC: card MOTHER, video card, SSD, etc. However, currently the old parts that I have that I thought were able to move to the new computer - optical drive - are too old, because they use IDE instead of SATA cables.

    Now I wonder, because I did not have a SATA USB cable where can I connect my SSD for my laptop, can I install a version of windows in this SSD to my laptop?

    I have used a USB cable with an external DVD drive SATA and picked up in the BIOS, and started the installer of Windows 7, so I don't see why it shouldn't.

  • Limit of 2 TB on 2nd HARD drive, how to change without affecting the system reserved Partition?

    I have 2 drives - 240GB SSD where Windows is installed and a HD in Toshiba 3 TB of data.

    After installing Windows 7 for the SSD, it creates a system reserved 100 MB Toshiba hard disk partition. I now want to create a single data (d) on the Toshiba partition but disk management only limit myself to create a partition of 2 TB and a 746 GB partition. Past posts to dig suggests it's the MBR problem - then what can I do now to break this limit, without deleting or play with the 100MB system reserved partition?

    Hi YT :)

    You're right, that this problem is caused by the fact that your hard drive is cut using the style of partition table MBR, which allows only to create partitions to a maximum of 2 TB size each. In order to 'break' this limit, you must convert your hard drive in a GPT partition table, which does not have this limit (well, the limit to 128 TB then there it doesn't matter much). You can convert your hard disk from MBR to GPT without loss of data. Follow the instructions in the tutorial below:

    http://www.thewindowsclub.com/convert-MBR-to-GPT-disk

    Method 2 and 3 explain how to perform the conversion without loss of data, method 3 is the easiest.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

  • Transfer of files from the old HARD DRIVE to new computer without an old computer. (He's dead - can not use) I have the hard drive, but need help to transfer my old files and settings.

    ·        My old Win XP computer died - it is completely unusable. I bought a new PC with Win 7 Pro and 1 TB. I still have the old HARD DRIVE (250 GB) which I have attached on the new computer using an external enclosure supports SATA drives. The external hard drive is connected to the computer in USB 3.0. I checked that the new computer can see the external hard drive. (I also used for backups by changing the hard drive with a 2 TB drive 'mass storage' - that works.)

    I searched the internet for possible solutions and found no help. If the transfer of files from Microsoft would change the disc to analyze, it would be simple. But if I select the OLD computer it scans the disk I'm on (new) - automatically.

    Is there anyone who has had the same problem? He must be because computers die all the time and people buy new computers - who then, somehow, they get the former transferred files. I could do it manually, but that wouldn't change the settings. Last resort would be to buy an old computer XP (SATA), replace the drive. Transfer the files, and then sell this computer.

    You may be able to recover your data files, but I hope that you will set up your new system to automatically backup a second internal hard drive or an external USB hard drive.

    This suggestion may not work, but it's worth a try. Buy an external USB drive enclosure. They come in two sizes 2.5 "for the portable computer drives and 3.5" for desktop disks. You can purchase adapters for 3.5 "envelopes so that they can also be used with a portable player. Place the hard drive in the enclosure and connect to a USB port of another computer. Several hard disks are more able to start, but the contents of the disc can still be accessed, read and copied from the disk because you do not use the operating system on a failed disk.

    Here is an example of the type of device, I suggest:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=external+hardrive+enclosure&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=14388537836&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=556960941559985931&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&ref=pd_sl_32uorbwbuk_b

    You need only to the speaker, that you see are not necessarily more expensive. Thereafter, you can put an old hard drive usable, an abandoned because you need a larger drive internal, in the enclosure and use it as additional external storage.

  • Is there a way to make the NAS200 act as a drive in my computer

    Not sure if this has been discussed here yet.

    I have a NAS200 connected to my router and I can access through my web browser without problem.

    I was wondering if there is a way to make it act as a player that is in my computer. It is to say give it a drive letter and do appear in "my computer".

    I'm under win 8 pro desktop hard wired to the router with the nas200 connected. Is there a way to "climb" the nas200 as drive on the computer.

    Thank you

    Yes, you just need to map the drive on your computer. You must ensure that the network drive is detected in the first network. You can click on the following link to find out how to map the drive:

  • Cannot get Windows XP Home Edition for a mapped network drive / share on a computer of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

    I constantly tried to use the "NET USE" syntax to get a Windows XP Home system to keep & share mapped network drive on a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit of the system and nothing I tried or worked on ANY blog. I can map the current network through made normal drive right click on 'My computer' and then provide a designation of drive letter with the correct path and have had great success using the function "connect using a different user name." However, even with the box checked to re-connect to the opening of the service is WORTHLESS! I made a lot of attempts to use the Net use syntax to create a batch file to overcome this non-functional raw application. I would really appreciate someone who actually had this issue resolved and work. I have looked at all the Windows files on the XP machine, searched the registry about a possible switch, which could make the necessary changes and have made all necessary changes on the Windows 7 system to accept the mapped network share. Help!

    Hello

    Since you have a network with different OS' I hope that Win 7 is configured to run on asnetwork work.

    If evry thing is configured properly it can be a problem of how your router keep information network. With the help of Staic DHCP or IP static on computers could help solve the problem.

    Just in case you need to reconfigure your network.

    ---------------

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

    For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall isactive .

    Since you have a network with Win 7 and the other version of Windows, you must configure Windows 7 as work network.

    In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

    Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

    If I am not mistaken (I reserve that right!), Home Premium cannot be joined to a domain and the OP also indicates to gain access to resources in a different domain. Thus, according to trusts in place or VPN connections, it could be a challenge. Where did the idea of using something easy of access/sharing of resources.

    Otherwise, you need to set the resources to allow access of the anon/no authenticated user.
