PC Backup Windows is not 'see' my hard drive connected to the network.

My WDC NAS drive appears in Windows Explorer and I am able to read and write normally, but I am unable to make an image backup to it because the mapped drive letter does not appear in the drop-down list of available backup storage devices. This happens on an established network of Vista (Business edition).

DickShirk,

Rather than choosing a network drive, you will need to provide the network path to the system. Here's a thread that is very similar to yours that should help you to solve your problem:

  • Professional Windows does not see my hard drive during installation and wants to leave the installer.

    installed the new hard drive in my compaq lap top, started the professional windows installation and stops because it cannot find the hard drive. It is in the bios and has passed the tests. My lap top has only a cd/dvd drive, a floppy drive. Not knowing what to do.

    It is probably because you have a hard drive Serial ATA (SATA) in your computer.  These drives did not exist when Windows XP came out and so no drivers for this type of disc can be found in a regular Windows XP don't install.  Windows makes allowances for that by inviting you to press the "F6" key at the beginning of the installation process, but then you must provide the SATA drivers diskette (no other medium will do).

  • Problem of not seeing list drop-down connection to the wireless network when checking connections network - pc windows 7.

    Problem of not seeing list drop-down connection to the wireless network when checking connections network - pc windows 7.

    I just installed a Belkin modem-router - which went well. Can I connect WiFi gadgets etc. I can also connect to the internet via a network cable to my pc. I also installed a belkin usb wireless adapter and in Device Manager, says it is enabled and works.

    My problem is, I have no way of choice get a WiFi PC to display in the list (from the notification area) and cannot get the pc to give me options to create a wi - fi connection. The more I get to try to do that is "unexpected error"!

    If someone could help on this - I would be very grateful

    Good news - update of my ongoing saga with this Belkin modem/router.

    Got the pc to see wi - fi now. It turned out to be the Zone Alarm! As the router has a firewall, I uninstalled Zone Alarm completely. Also, I went into the properties of belkin usb and checked it was the most recent drivers, it does not so I installed them.

    So far so good

    Thanks for the help

  • Internet connection issues "Limited or no connectivity." and "windows could not find a certificate to log on the network.

    I'm so unable to connect to the internet?

    Hello.

    I'm so unable to connect to the internet.

    Since I've renamed our WiFi network and add a WEP key, I have problems with wireless connection on my
    Windows XP computer desktop, which is a Dell Dimension 4700.

    The questions that I get connection are...

    "windows could not find a certificate to log on the network.

    "Limited or no connectivity."

    I did all the solutions I could try to fix the connection problem!

    1. once I received the message "limited or no connectivity", I click with the right button on the connection and click on repair. It is not always connect for me and I got the "limited or no connectivity message.»

    2. then, I disabled the network connection and then enabled. That no longer works.

    3. I tried to withdraw from the ordered list of connections, and it still doesn't work.

    4. I checked the driver manager, and initially the Ethernet driver was outdated and missing of its pilot. He had a yellow question mark with a black sign and yellow with an exclamation mark inside.

    5. I used DriverZone, downloaded the driver, installed and rebooted the computer after the installation of the it. Apparently, it worked. But I could not always connect.

    6 I have ensured that I entered the correct WEP key, and then adjust the settings correctly. I did it like 10 times in a row and would not always connect.

    7. I tried to go to the command prompt and typed in IP Config/All and that's what I mean.

    Windows IP configuration
    Node type: unknown
    Active IP routing: no
    WINS proxy enabled: no
    ETHERNET connection to the Local network card
    State of the media: Media disconnected
    Description: Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection
    Ethernet card 2 wireless network connection:
    Suffix the connection-specific DNS: (EMPTY)

    8. after that, I typed the command: ipconfig/release
    and then I got this error...

    No operations can be performed on the connection to the local network, although it has its media disconnected.

    9. after that, I tried Googling for some solutions, and the solutions I found were not any use.
    A solution was

    10. opening of Services...
    Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
    Scroll down to and double-click Client DNS | Set to automatic on startup
    type |
    Click apply | Click the Start button | When it starts, click OK
    Do the same for the DHCP Client.
    Do the same for the remote procedure call (RPC).

    and it still doesn't work.

    11. when I look in the menu network connections, I see my connection with a lock on the side, with a red X under the lock and key. In the description, I see not connected, protected by a firewall. How could I remove the internet connection firewall? I disabled the firewall and that did not work.

    12. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the network card and who does not work either.

    It is not the network itself that is the problem.  It is not the modem or the cable. There are no disconnected son or something like that. We have other computers in the House and the internet works fine on other computers. As I said, since I renamed our WiFi network and added a WEP password, I had problems with connecting to my Windows XP computer.

    My computer has updates that must be installed as well. Updates would fix the problem? I just need to have internet.

    What should I do? Thank you for your time.

    Sincerely,

    Justin

    Have you tried to set the value of the link speed/duplex mode? I had the same problem you describe. Your card is only capable of 10/100 communication.

  • How to set up Time Machine via a HARD drive connected to the USB port on the router?

    Hi all

    I have an Arris Touchstone Data Gateway DG1670A/TW for my internet / wireless which was provided by my ISP.  There is a USB port at the back of the router and I was wondering if I could connect an external HARD drive to save the two Macbook Pro that I have in my house through Time Machine wireless?  If Yes, could someone provide me the details regarding how to set this up properly?

    I too, was thinking about making a 4 TB HARD drive - 2 and wanted to partition so that half of it would work for Time Machine and the other half I would be able to store photos that I take on my digital SLR and are in Lightroom.  Could this be a problem at all? I partition? or Time Machine just to use the available space and delete older backups to make room for additional photos?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    A device third-party network attached storage (NAS) or a router is unsuitable for use with Time Machine.

    Apple has published a specification for network devices that works with Time Machine. No third party provider, AFAIK, does meet this specification.

    Apple does not endorse any device third-party network for use with Time Machine. See this support article.

    Network backup, use as destination an Apple Time Capsule or an external storage device connected to another Mac or a 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only 802.11ac base stations support time Machine, not older model.

  • Windows 7 backup and restore not recognizing external hard drives

    My laptop recognizes the drives external hard and other storage devices and I can read and manually copy files, etc for them. But the backup and restore told me that nothing is connected when I try to run it. Also, when I connect the external hard drive to a USB port, the menu that is displayed does not include the option of backup of the device just connect. Is there a setting I need to change in the backup and restore program? Or is there another solution that everyone is aware of it please?

    Hi Sally,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that the backup and restore does not recognize the external hard drive, but Windows doesn't. I'll be happy to help you with your query. Let me ask you;

    1. Is - this happy with all external hard drives or individual?
    2. What kind of backup are trying to create, auto or manual?
    3. You did it recently no specific changes in the computer?

    There may be several reasons why backup & restore does not recognize the external hard drive. Let's check out the steps below.

    Step 1: Connect the device to a USB (Universal Serial Bus) and a different test.

    Step 2: You can check if the services responsible for the backup of restoration & work or not.

    Volume Shadow Copy and backup of Windows service.

    To check the services, you can follow the procedure.

    (a) click Start.

    (b) in the Search tab, type Services.msc , and then press Efriendship.

    (c) now in the services window, locate Windows Backup service and Volume Shadow Copy services. Check if they are started.

    Note: Check the services separately, and then close the Services window.

    Step 3: Run the next Fixit and check if the disc is recognized.

    Click here to launch the Fixit.

    Step 4: You can try to temporarily disable the security software of the computer and check with the question. Later, re-enable the security software.

    See: , disable the anti-virus software

    Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attack.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.
