Removable drive letter disappears
After you delete without risk a device from the drive 'H', the E, F, G, H and I drives disappear display in windows Explorer. I have to restart to see and use them again.
Any ideas why this happens and requires a reboot to see and reuse them?
Thank you

Dear community, FYI [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2] In Windows 7 64 bit can drive letter D be removed safely to a HP recovery partition which is full? My drive C partition has a lot of space, but the recovery drive D partition shows red/almost complete. My computer is a HP dv7 laptop running Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition. Occasionally, I get annoying warnings in order to free space on recovery drive D. I know that the D drive is important and not did something for her. A previous post of Microsoft MVP said remove the recovery Partition letter D would take care of the problem without affecting, or withdrawing, D recovery drive data. However, while following its not recommended, it is a warning about the programs potentially does not work properly. I cancelled the process without continuing. Other posts in this thread mentioned will come with the removal of the letter ends not "power" with a red 'X' I have both a bootable HP recovery disk and a Windows recovery disk for this computer in the case of a hard disk failure, as well as frequent backups and Images of disks of the computer for the whole system.

Backup Windows, as with all utilitiies of backup, looking for the next after C drive letter because it is not a good idea to save anything on the main drive. What Windows backup or any other backup utility does NOT do is check if the disk with the following letter is a suitable place for file backups. To locate and remove the backup of Windows files, search for *.bkf and then delete them. Backups must be stored in the external media that can be isolated from the host system when the not required. Preferred to use an external USB disk. You can get one of them before deleting the files bkf in D... :-) Redesign existing external hard disks and still 6 Lightroom able to find existing photos. I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive. Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files. I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter that has been designated by Lightroom to store my photos. I could go into my Windows 10 and reset the player to the letter that Lightroom has given at the beginning of the external hard drive. However, I know this can happen again, if I connect any stick USD or another device, while the external hard drive is not connected to my laptop. I found the information that I can do the new designation of the final drive by choosing a letter it is 1/2 way or higher in the alphabet. I would like to turn an external hard drive on a strong letter, warns we hope this previous problem. My question is, if I already have a lot of pictures on this external hardrive with the designation of the current drive, how it becomes a higher letter and have 6 Lightroom recognizes files, now under the new designation of drive letter without having to go to each photo individually and manually force Lightroom 6 find each photo. It would take more time than I'd like to lose. Is there a way to get just 6 Lightroom to recognize the new disk designation has changed and is able to find all of the existing files? I have read the ADOBE LightRoom 6 manual and seem not to be able to find anything on how to do it. Any help would be welcome. Thank you! So in Windows, you can select a drive like q letter (or any other letter you want only towards the end of the alphabet) Then in Lightroom, you can reconnect to the photos on q: the following instructions (see specifically 4 Figure and related text) Get the iPhone to recognize the change to iTunes Library the drive letter I'm doing something that should be extremely simple, and Apple has found a way to make it incredibly difficult. I'm moving my media to a new computer. On my old computer, all the media has been on the J: drive. On my new computer, it's all about the D: drive. Other than that, the folder structure is exactly the same. Apple says that in documentation for migrating to a new computer, activate the option "Keep iTunes folder organized Media". There are several reasons why this is not an option, mainly because iTunes is the absolute worst to organize your media folder. I've seen cases where iTunes dumps simply all your files perfectly organized in a single folder for you to figure out what that is when you get the file you need. No thanks, I'm perfectly capable of organizing my own files. Not to mention, my multimedia files are on a data disc and the app folder, where the files to iTunes library is on an SSD with limited storage. Then... Guard iTunes library trace the location of support using a "iTunes Music Library.xml" file. I've updated this file to use the new location and when I open iTunes on my new computer, everything is perfect. All my media is there with all my custom illustrations I apply (iTunes can also be really terrible at the corresponding work on music not purchased via iTunes!). If great, let's get my iPhone recognized now because it's really the only reason why I use iTunes. As soon as I connect my phone and it starts the synchronization process, it crushes everything in the XML file and returns all my music in the original location (now the music in the iTunes library has!'s next to all my music sync). You're going to go to a song and it will ask you the new location, I can go to, and then iTunes invites even to use this new location to update other files 'disappeared', but the problem is this feature only searches the subfolder where the particular file is located, you have access to what is in this case an album. Do you know how many albums I have? You mean I have to go to every single album and update the location manually? Once again, no thanks! So my thought at this point, ok, let's just resync all the music with the phone, that well that is always a huge pain given the extremely slow transfer speeds from your computer to your phone (Apple Hi, meet 3.1 USB or same USB 3.0) in combination with the size of my library (we're talking days to complete!), it's even less of a pain then go each file (or a piece of each album) and updated the location. On a side note - it would be really great if the synchronization on the Wi - Fi technology still works... I mean, they had what, over 4 years to operate and you're still lucky if your phone is recognized by Wi - Fi. That means I have to leave my phone on my computer for days and who really has the ability to do? Sorry, I digress. So, I removed all of my music from my phone and got iTunes to be happy with the new drive letter. Great, let's start the arduous process to sync my music on my phone. I re - activate the option synchronize my music and what happens, my iPhone again overwrites my iTunes library with the former location of media! Excuse me, but how is it reasonable to have the phone, which is a destination and contains a subset of your library, to be the registration system for which the files are stored in the source? I mean come on! This is absurd! I've always hated that Apple is owner and forces you to use iTunes (some of the worst software ever developed) to manage/sync your media. But for years, I have it justified by saying iPhone works simply. No worries. Well, I'll say, it does not just work and my insinuation that Apple made simple products that just don't work no longer holds water. At this point, I am very close to say goodbye to the iPhone and switch to Google project. I'm tired of less expensive phones friends surpassing my overpriced device that uses obsolete technology. Sort of, I'm sorry to dump all this on the community, but it is absolutely ridiculous that it's so complicated to change a drive letter and I am at my wits end. Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer a solution. I'm doing something that should be extremely simple, and Apple has found a way to make it incredibly difficult.
