Strange Local Disk Q: was added to my computer

My new HP Pavilion dv7 for some reason is now show under hard drives ' Local disk (Q'I have no idea where it comes from all of a sudden.).  I have nothing connected or disconnected.   He denied access, said that it is not accessible.  No matter what I do, I can't explore, delete, check properties etc.   Everyone understand this oddity?  How I'd get rid of it.

If you have Microsoft Office 2010, which is the creation of the Q drive. It uses Application Virtualization (App - V) technology which requires the creation of a virtual disk. By default, the drive letter for this virtual drive is q in some systems, it may substitute the letter R Q.

This disc cannot be hidden or deleted...

Here are some links that will give you better understanding of Click-to-run service that generates this drive Q... http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/982434 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2257628

  • Groups and permissions of the user is added to the local disk post-conversion?

    We currently have a security policy with our Windows servers requiring admins to remove unnecessary security groups and users on the local disks. Basically, the SYSTEM and administrators retain full control, but all other users and groups are deleted for security reasons. We find that during a P2V conversion/clone servers, security groups and users are added to the readers of these new virtual machines (see screenshots below):

    Security before and after conversion. Could this be a function of the sysprep post-conversion tasks that work?

    Until now, we thought that, apart from the usual physical changes inherent to a clone, security remains unchanged. We follow best practices for conversion of these machines (running this as a local administrator account, run this converter installed on the machine, by stopping services as much as possible and so on).

    http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/6174/pre-permissions.pnghttp://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/6181/post-permissions.png

    You can compare it to a system where you don't resize volumes, but all other factors are the same?

    If you reduce the size of a hard disk volume during the conversion, it will make a copy of file by file from the source to the destination devices.  We may have to add permissions for the conversion process, but I don't know if it is real.

    If you maintain or increase the size of the hard drive, it is a clone of block level which should be a bit-by-bit copy the source system.

  • one of my local disk drive indicates space used some GB, but nothing is stored in this disk physically.

    one of my local disk drive shows the space used a few GB of data even if nothing is physically stored in this disk

    When you go to start / computer and select which lead and then choose explore does nothing there or are there any files or folders.  Make sure you first start / Control Panel / folder Options / view and check the button to view the hidden files, check the box to show system files and uncheck Hide extensions of known file types files.  Explorer shows that it uses space (exactly how much)?  What was on this front disc has been added to your computer as an additional drive?

    Go to start / Control Panel / Admninistrative tools / computer management / disk management and tell me what he says on this drive.  Does also show the disk space used or is it clean? Hover your mouse over the the disk image and a text box appears.  Post the EXACT content, as they are presented.

    If you want to clean up (and there is nothing on it to save) then right click on the drive and click Format.  This will wipe the drive and I hope, will solve this problem.  If this is not the case, the reader may have a hidden partition that occupies space. We can deal with that by deleting the partition and then format again.

    I hope this helps.

  • Problems downloading a file of muse for the first time. Museutils.js is not on the local disk on the file index.html.

    Hi all

    I hope someone can help because I'm a little desperate.

    I started to design a page with a muse of Qooqee model: SENSE.

    I worked for a month on this issue. When I was about to finish, I got a message that there is a new version of Muse to update. I did the update when I was still working in the design.

    When I finished the desktop version, I downloaded using the "upload to the ftp host" button. All fine until he has gave a "error on the index.html file.

    Screen Shot 2016-02-17 at 2.02.16 PM.png

    So, I was unable to complete the first uploaded to the online page.

    My husband, who knows a bit about coding, opened the index.html file, and we have seen a warning: MUSEUTILS. JS IS NOT ON THE LOCAL DISK.

    Screen Shot 2016-02-17 at 9.43.24 PM.png

    Reading questions similar to the forum that I can guess that the problem has been built with I started with the earlier version of the Muse and updated the Muse version in the workplace, when I finished the page.

    Now, the page is not alive because I am not able to download the file.

    I don't know if that's the problem, however. I downloaded a fresh sense of QooQee model and erase all content and pages name I will use them (he has added a few pages and I moved the contact page somewhere else on the site map). Then, publish the page Go Daddy and have the same problem. Error on the index.html file. For that I am lost again, because everything has been done with the same version of Muse and the latest model of sense (I don't know how they update the models).Screen Shot 2016-02-18 at 12.12.01 PM.png

    Can you please give an idea on how to solve the problem? What I have to redo the entire page?

    Thanks in advance, you are my last hope.

    Good to see that we can exclude a Muse for the functioning and the collection of production. The problem must lie in the specifics and/or requirements of GoDaddy, hosting provider. The Muse team is very aware of being a very popular hosting provider GoDaddy , so they want to learn all the occasional problems or quirks that might appear with Muse in combination with these suppliers. It might have to do with the current version of Muse, but it could also be a coincidence that GoDaddy has begun to change some things on their side as well. Or it could even be a Gremlin (colloquial term for a software bug temporary and inexplicable) blocking a circuit which seems to happen from time to time...

    Are you sure that you follow all the advice and guidelines in this FAQ: download an Adobe Muse of the site to a third-party hosting service ?

  • ENVY of HP TouchSmart laptop 15: local disk D is not accessible

    My notebook Nr is: E1P04AV

    MODEL: 15 t - j100 ABA
    Rev: 1962-110
    CCDI: 0982110000405E00000320000

    I get this message when I access to 'My PC' and click on Local drive D: "local disk D is not accessible. The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable. »

    This local disk D is partitioned with local disk C. The two units are on SSHD, 1 TB, Seagate asa series drive.

    A 24GO SSHD is also installed with 1 TB HARD drive, but the SSHD is not visible in WIN10 in 'My PC' (or, indeed, it is this local disk D?).

    During each reboot, a message appears: "fix local disk D." But the local disk D does not seek redress.

    I just finished installing WIN10 and spent the day to reinstall all printers, scanners and software (with hindsight, I shudda treated first with this corrupted local disk).

    I'm going to local disk likely damage C which has the OS WIN10 on him (I guess), if I reformat local drive D? I would like to reformat ALCO D drive while in WIN10 (not in dos prompt mode).

    FOR INFO:

    My fingerprint reader has not worked in the month. It stopped working after I installed the update of the driver.

    Until I loaded WIN10, I tried to restore my inoperative SimplePass fingerprint reader by loading the newer driver for that I downloaded updates from the HP driver.

    Immediately after the installation of the driver SimplePass my laptop crashed with the BSOD on reboot.

    Each diagnostic single HP I ran in Mode BIOS says all readers and all components, everything going ON.

    What is happening with SimplePass driver software?

    I called Softex but no direct technical Support was available. I left a message, no one returned my call.

    I took the chance and selected the option "Format". The 'quick format' restored the local drive D.

  • Volume D: is dirty. Check Disk Local Disk d does not solve the problem

    Whenever I start my computer under WindowsXP SP3, chkdsk runs indicating that the D: Volume is dirty.  He noted no other problems.  I tried to run check disk Local Disk d with two checked options, but it does not solve the probem.  What should I try next?

    That is right.

    First of all, let us look at the ideas of the Microsoft support engineer:

    I would never not follow the suggestion of Microsoft Engineer in method 1.  This idea makes no sense.

    The Microsoft Support Engineer method 2 does not work for you (or most people), unless you have a XP installation CD bootable authentic with the same Service Pack as your installation.  In your case, you would need a true bootable XP with SP3 installation CD and most of the people do not have such an animal.  It is therefore extremely unlikely that will help you at all - and if your file system is damaged or dirty, I of course never suggests that in the first place until your file system is straightened.

    Volumes that contain file system errors is known as "Sales". When a volume is dirty, he has known file system errors, and you must run chkdsk on the volume to repair the problem.

    When XP starts, it automatically checks the on each volume's dirty bit (C, D, E, etc.), and if any volume is dirty, XP will automatically run chkdsk/p on next reboot on the volumes in an attempt to clear the dirty bit.  Which does not clear the bit of impurity or it may take several passes.

    If the volume dirty bit, one is set, this indicates that the file system may be in an inconsistent state. The dirty bit can be set because the volume is online and has some remarkable changes, because changes have been made to the volume and the computer shutdown until the changes have been committed to disk, or because corruption has been detected on the volume. If the dirty bit is set when the computer restarts, chkdsk runs to verify the consistency of the volume.

    Whenever you start a computer that is running one of the Windows XP operating system or the Windows Server 2003 family, autochk.exe is called by the kernel for all volumes to check if the volume dirty bit is set. If the dirty bit is set, autochk performs an immediate chkdsk /f on that volume. Chkdsk /f verifies file system integrity and attempts to fix any problems with the volume.

    A simple power interruption is something that could result in a disc was marked as dirty.  Have you had a power failure these days?

    You can query the dirty bit on a volume from the command prompt window.  Here's how:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open the command prompt window.

    For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive D, type:

    fsutil dirty query D:

    The sample output:
    Volume D: is dirty
    Volume D: is not dirty

    Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

    You can not enter any command to clear the dirty bit - only chkdsk /r or chkdsk/p can clear the dirty bit.

    When chkdsk runs automatically restart either because XP thinks he needs to (perhaps your NTFS volume has been marked as dirty) or you decide to schedule the chkdsk with error correction during the next reboot, the results appear in the viewing Application event log.  You should look there for the chkdsk log to see what happened and no problems after running chkdsk.

    To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

    A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

    %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

    Click OK to launch the event viewer.

    Search the Application log for an event originally by Winlogon, something like:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Winlogon
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 1001
    Date: 04/08/2010
    Time: 11:25:57
    Description:
    Checking file system on C:

    The type of the file system is NTFS.

    One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You
    may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended
    that you continue.

    Windows will now check the disk.

    Please wait while your computer restarts.

    The dirty bit fade not until chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p) tracks clean when the system reboots (as in the example) or when you run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console.

    Many times, the best remedy is to just run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console so you can actually see what it does.  Sometimes, this also seems to be the only way to clear the dirty bit and this way you can see what he does.

    Note that you can not also question the bit of impurity of the Recovery Console and you can't turn off the bit of impurity to enter any command.

    If for some reason chkdsk will not erase the dirty, you can simply say XP never check the volume dirty bit, but who will not fix your fault of potentially hard drive, or it could be the drive just need to have chkdsk run on that (sometimes you need to run it more than once) or you will have to think about replacing the drive.

    If you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, you can boot into XP from that (even a SP2) Recovery Console CD will work and run chkdsk /r manually from there and repeat until chkdsk /r is clean.

    If you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, say so and I'll post instructions so you can make a CD of XP Recovery Console and how to run chkdsk from there.   There is no required XP media.

    I wonder why it is that I have never see an engineer Microsoft Support post instructions on how to make a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console... probably because there is no KB article for them to post.

  • User duplicated on the Local disk folder

  • Change sharing permissions, now I can't access the local disk

    Hello all, I have two computers, both running windows 7 (one is 64-bit and the other is 32-bit) connected via LAN and WiFi. One of them has all of the local disk shared with full compensation for everyone (full control). I decided to remove these permissions and control to "deny". Then I had to cancel the task and decided to resume later. HURT, now I've lost access to this drive, even though I can access some files. When I try to enter in the drive, an error message appears saying "C: is not accessible. Access is denied. I did some research and it seems to be a common problem, but I followed all the steps did not work. It shows as 0 bytes and security options does not show anything, but "you don't have permission to view or change the permissions of the object settings. I tried to adapt, even in safe mode and as administrator, do not to prevail. It keeps saying 'access denied' I also tried to set a hidden administrator account, but the account manager is 'not available for my system' when I made these unfortunate changes, it was not this computer but on the other, I think it might be the reason. Now, I can not access my local disk or change anything. Please, help me, I can't find a solution to this mess!
