My location of removable storage for Cd 'E' no longer recognizes my cd. When I put a cd it shows that it is in slot "D".

This just started to happen, and I don't remember to make changes.

Hi gofner,

You can still access the CD in D drive?

Method 1: You can try to change the drive letter, refer to the article below to know the steps

Method 2: You can run the fixit available in the link below

Thank you, and in what concerns:

    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...

    Hi ebugsasi,
     
    To remove protect him writing on a kingston Micro SD cards, locate a switch or button on the side of the micro SD adapter card. It will normally be a symbol of locking/unlocking on it. Put it to the unlocked position.
     
    This should remove the write-protection feature.

  • my memory card for my digital camera does not work when I put it in the memory card slot

    I use vista and a emachine El 1200-07w. It worked last week I just stuck the memory card and a menu pops up saying what are the options I could do (for example, open the folder, etc.) now, when I put the memory card in nothing happens, but if the memory card is in when the computer is turned on, then he will say new hardware detected but it can't find a driver for it. Why is it does not work now, but was last week and how the hell can solve this problem. I have no software for my digital camera, I always just went out the memory card it stuck in the memory card slot and it was very good. It's just a less expensive memory card (Lexar) I have a 2 GB and 128 MB and will no longer work. Thanks for any help!

    Hi, I hope you can follow this. Remove the storage card from the computer, then go to control panel
    then
    Device Manager
    Expand portable devices
    the type of memory card slots should be listed if your type is a yellow triangle in it,
    Right-click on it and choose uninstall.
    It should reinstall it automatically or when you put the memory card in the slot.

  • 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:

  • 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.

    You must find the XP drivers for the drive and install them if the manufacturer of the drive has put at their disposal.  The backup program can run on Win XP, but if it is a Win 95 program you can't get to work.  You can try running in compatibility mode.

  • Managing removable storage in windows 7

    I replaced my computer that was running Windows Xp Professional with the new one running Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. The only way I can access my documents is backup of windows xp (.bkf) but windows 7 will not read these files. I tried many suggestions from the microsoft site, but it all comes down to the fact that RMS is not able to be activated. I see that you said in November 2009 that it would be corrected when windows 7 has been generally use. I don't have a hard drive for use work transfer.

  • What is the removable storage management?

    I just checked the "turn windows features on or off" and I noticed that the "removable storage management" is turned OFF. I used a hard drive portable USB and flash drives since I have this computer without problem.

    What does the "removable storage management"? I can't find something more descriptive than the presentation text short I get when you hold the mouse pointer.
    This is the most I can find:
    http://www.blackviper.com/wiki/Removable_Storage

    If my portable USB drive, my USB key and my DVD +/-RW do not count as removable storage requiring this feature, what?  I use all these devices at least once a week without a problem.

    Besides, someone you will suggest a guide to access descriptions of best of all find under "turn Windows features On or Off? Some are self-explanatory such as TFTP, Telnet and games, but others I'm not sure as RIP. Why would I need RIP on the home (client) version of Windows and why only RIP version 1 that does not support CIDR.

  • 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"?

    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.
