Remove a mapped drive

I have successfully mapped to a network drive on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite running Vista w / SP2). I could read and write to the disk until I restarted my computer. On reboot, Vista said that it was "could not reconnect all network drives" or something like that. My problem is identical to the problem described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/960646 I downloaded the fix, but I was told "the update does not apply to your system.  I went through the forum, and it seems that the problem is that Vista is looking for the mapped drive before you connect to the internet (a fall from a wireless network) and I want to remap the drive, but uncheck the "Reconnect at logon" option, but I can't find out how to remove the mapped drive (I have actually 2 instances of it). I looked through the forum and I'm missing somewhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Very well. Too bad. I feel so stupid now. I click right on the drive, and selected 'disconnect' and he removed the drive. I swear, I had tried that before and it didn't work. I don't know if it was restart the computer or something, but it worked. Thanks for your help anyway

  • User account locked access to the executable file on a mapped drive to a pc

    I have a windows 7 64 bit pc.

    I mapped drives that I have used for years.

    Now, 1 mapped drive on this pc, my account is locked when I try to run an executable file. I can connect to other PCs and it is not a problem. I don't have any credentials stored on my pc. I rebooted, removed from the computer from the domain and readded. I checked the server when the actions are (logged in as myself) and can run executable files. It is a problem on this pc for this drive. Even if I use the full path in windows Explorer, my account locked with incorrect password.

    Any ideas on where to find the next?

    The executable is probably attempting to access a shared resource using the incorrect credentials. You would examine its inner workings in detail, for example by checking his profile files and registry keys, in order to know what it is.

    This forum deals with Windows in an environment home. To discuss the issue further, I recommend that repost you your query in a TechNet forum such as this.

  • Mapped drives are not available. Machines inaccessible area. Can ping from command prompt.

    Hello

    Working in a Windows domain.  Have a 150 machines in the field.  Now, a single machine seems to have lost the authority to communicate.  This machine was a member of the domain for more than a year and has gained access to these places and several times of the mapped drives.  It's a user's machine, so not sure what may happen before this started.

    At the moment the machine is connected to the network.  I can browse internet fine (internet accessed through the default gateway).  At the command prompt I can ping machines on the domain by ip or name.  Both work very well.

    Can I use remote desktop to connect to other computers on the domain.

    What I can't see all the drives mapped or access the domain computers via Windows Explorer.  When I try to access a mapped drive (accessible by everyone) I gat an error message.  "The location is not available.

    When I try to select a machine in the field of windows Explorer I get 'open folder '.  \\XXXXX is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.  The specified network provider name is invalid.

    Tried this as multiple users.  Not the specific profile.  Tried under the Domain Admin and get the same error.

    Search error messages and found many solutions.  None worked.

  • If I remove a MBP drive can I access data?

    On a recent trip, I fried logic board in my MBP 4 year. I don't know if the hard drive is still ok, but it can be.

    I think to remove the hard drive and put it in a box of HDD external (or whatever we call them).

    But the drive was encrypted with filevault. I have the filevault encryption code. If the drive still works and I plug it into another Mac, I will be able to access the data? Will it ask me to enter the code?

    Thank you.

    As far as I know if you connect the drive and go into disk utility there should be a prompt to disable the encryption,

    and providing the password and leave the reader to decipher.

  • Conclusion removed the hard drive

    Our "old" laptop teacher at work will be used by students this year so our IT team has removed all hard drives.  Unfortunately, one of our teachers made a mistake on the external hard drive backup and lost his papers. The info was accidentally recorded on the hard drive... not the external drive. All hard drives (hundreds and hundreds) are now randomly laying in boxes.

    We can find the laptop that was hers, but is it possible to find the serial number for the hard drive that had been in it? Are the serial numbers for the laptop in any way linked to the serial number on the hard drive? Just try to find every way possible to help him.

    Not sure about the BONE... probably the latest or next to last.

    Thank you!

    There is no correlation between the installed hard drive and MacBooks in which they have been installed. Then the next number in the series could even have another brand of disc.

    Frankly, I can't remove these drives. A single pass of erasure with writing zeros would be crushed everything (but it takes all afternoon). Crushed once sufficient for everything but nuclear secrets.

  • If I remove the hard drive from my Mac book will find my Mac still works

    One of my buddies and ME are supporting it because im trying to say that if you remove the hard drive of a Macbook, find my Mac no longer works, even if you get a new hard drive and connect it to the Internet. He said, that it only stops working if it is not connected to the internet, and I know it's true, but I want to know if my theory is correct,

    If you remove the HD there is nothing to identify your Mac then FindMyMac.

    To use FindMyMac the Mac must be connected to the internet and FindMyMac must be enabled in system preferences > iCloud. This requires Mac be signed in iCloud.

  • Satellite Pro P300 - remove the HARD drive to make a backup?

    My P300 went to my local store to repair for a network card problem. I thought it was just a software problem or driver, so I wasn't worried that my machine is still under warranty. After investigation, they stated that they could not resolve the issue, so would be to reformat and reinstall the OS, they thought they should solve the problem.

    To my horror, I found that they had broken the seals of guarantee and open to the top of the machine. They claimed the only way to save the P300 before reformat it, is to remove the HARD drive!
    Is this true?
    (It turns out that a broken chip is to blame, but because they violated the warranty, Toshiba will not touch!)

    Can anyone say about this the removal of HD to support it please?

    Hey,.

    Normally it of not necessary to restore the factory settings with to remove the HARD drive but don t you worry about this. The laptop can still be opened from a service provider authorized without losing the warranty.

    I also put t know why they did, perhaps they have checked the material. It would be possible because they have professional diagnostic tools.

    But interesting to know whether or not your problem is now resolved?

  • Satellite P10 804: how to remove the HARD drive?

    I would like to remove the internal hard disk of 60 GB of my satellite P10 804 and replace it with a bigger drive, but cannot find a way to enter in the case of removing the HARD drive.

    Does anyone have the details on how to do?

    Hello

    To my knowledge, the HARD drive must be placed under the optical dirve.
    To remove the HARD drive, first remove the battery and the optical drive, and then follow the steps below:

    1. remove the four black screws that anchor the shield of aluminum covering the HARD drive and pull it out.
    2. gently pull on the HARD drive the front panel of the computer to disconnect the system board, then pull it out.
    3. remove the four silver screws that attach the HARD drive to the HARD disk case.

    But be careful. If you have no experience ask someone with more experience in these replacements.

  • Need help to remove the hard drive from a Satellite Pro M10

    Hi, a good will would point me in the right direction. I am trying to remove the HD from a satellite pro M10.
    I discovered the net without success.

    A diagram with being usefully etc.

    kind regards J

    Hello

    I can't give you a diagram or something, but I can give an indication to take a look on the front left side of your machine. On this corner of the left side under the volume control is a small blanket where the HARD drive is in. You need only to unscrew the 2 screws that are accessible when you turn on your machine and and look at the bottom of your machine. Do you know what I mean?

    When you remove these 2 screws, you need to remove the HARD drive by taking some screwdriver flat-blade and paste between the disc cover and HARD case. Then carefully remove the cover of the HARD drive and you can recover the HARD drive with the cover and exchange it.

    Voila, your hard drive West. It s is not difficult at all.

    But if you still have some questions then request.
