Unidentified disc drives and no drive letter.

• Data Scheduler display disc drive letter

  Critical how must be the drive letter data disc for Office VM model?  The call of the documentation on the configuration of the data disk to be 'E '.  But when I configure this model with a view (or even a simple test clone), the player will eventually be "D".  It would be a potential problem for AutoIT scripts?

  The drive letter is only a problem during the installation. During the installation steps, all the data files in the directory "inputs" of the Office package copied the disk of data with the letter 'E '. If the E: drive does exist in the captain VM (instead, it is "D"), then you can just manually copy all the files entry for the directory "D:". I hope this helps.

• After using a third party partition manager program left to extend my Windows 8 partition, the system of Windows 8 start to a black screen and Windows 8 partition of the drive letter has changed

  Original title: problems of Windows 8

  I have Windows 7 (32 bit) and Windows 8 (64-bit) is installed in a dual boot. I tried to extend the partition of Windows 8 with a third party partition manager. Subsequently, I restarted after having learned so much.

  Later, the first thing I saw was that the locked screen image is replaced by a blue color. Photos of the user are also missing. Once connected, it took a long time for windows everything ready, and I'm stuck in a black screen with the mouse pointer.

  I entered in Safe Mode and found that the drive for Windows 8 letter has been changed (C: = Windows 7;) D: = recovery partition; E: = Windows 8, new drive letter; F: = Windows 8, old drive letter), I tried to change the drive letter, but it does not work.

  Partition of Windows 7 works well (it is what I currently use to put this problem), and I can access the data in the partition of Windows 8. I tried the methods of different repair without result (such as chkdsk and sfc/scannow).

  Can someone help me with this please? Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  I understand that you have a problem of black screen with Windows 8 and the drive letter for the partition of Windows 8 is also changed. This problem is due to the use of the third party partition manager program because it affects the registry files and causes the instability of the system.

  Try to run auto repair from the Windows recovery environment and check if that helps.

  Method 1: start the recovery environment with installation of Windows 8 media.

  It is another way to boot the PC and launch recovery tools when something goes wrong with the operating system.

  Please follow the steps below. Insert the DVD to install Windows 8 on DVD-ROM and restart your computer.

  (a) once you start your computer by using the Windows DVD or the system repair disc, a black screen is displayed with the gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press a button on any.

  (b) select the good time and the type of keyboard .

  (c) click on repair your computer in the lower left corner.

  (d) select Troubleshooting to Choose an option screen.

  (e) click on advanced options in Troubleshooting screen.

  (f) click Auto repair of Advanced Options screen.

  (g) following, choose the operating system by clicking on its button.

  (h) Windows 8 will be looking for problems on the hard drives and verify that all required files are intact.

  
  Method 2: Run the restoration of the system of the Advanced Options screen.
  
  System Restore to restore your computer to a previous state, quickly and easily without losing any of your files and personal settings. Sometimes when you install programs or drivers, they can affect some system settings and prevent other programs to function properly.

  (b) select the good time and the type of keyboard .

  (c) click on repair your computer in the lower left corner.

  (d) select Troubleshooting from the Choose an option screen.

  (e) click on advanced options in Troubleshooting screen.

  (f) select System restore.

  After the system restore your documents and files will always remain to their previous state.

  If you do not install Windows 8 media, I suggest you connect to any other computer and create a floppy disk to install Windows 8. Using this disk, you can run the troubleshooting provided methods.
  
  How to create the installation media for a PC refresh or reset:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

  You can also try the same steps using the bootable USB key. You must select USB as the first boot to the BIOS device.

  Hello Justuslonginus,

  Thank you for your message.  What is the brand of your computer?  It could be that your computer manufacturer has a required update before installing SP3.  You should check with them before moving to the next steps.  After checking with you computer manufacturer, try to run the new hardware wizard to scan.  The instructions are below:
  Click "Start" > click on "Control Panel" > double-click "Add Hardware".
  Answer that the device is already connected and allow the system to scan.
  If your system has not yet found your drive.  Then we can remove SP3 to see if it was the culprit.  Click HERE for instructions to remove the SP3.
  Please let us know if it did or did not help to resolve this problem.

• Why drive letter external for the reasigns Windows Vista and how to stop it from happening

  I have Windows Vista Home Premium with the latest service packs and updates installed on my machine.
  From time to time, when I connect the external USB HDD, previously assigned letter of Exchange to another.
  After that the media library files and setup do not work properly. I have to manually assign.

  Why this is happening and more important How to stop from happening at all in the first place?

  Thanks in advance

  Windows assigns the next available drive letter when you connect an external drive. During his previous letter assigned is no longer available it will be assigned the next drive letter. I have an external hard drive with three partitions, I assigned the letters X, Y and Z, whenever I connect the drive on my laptop, it will display the letters that are always available.

• How can I change the drive letter of the second disc of C: to another letter?

  original title: I add an opportunity second hard drive labeled C:. How can I change the drive letter of the second disc of C: to another letter?

  I'm runnibg Vista service pack 1 on a Compaq Presario with a labeled hard drive C:.

  No you haven't, how it was labeled in the old pc is irrelevant, just install you it as slave on your PC drive, depends on the question of if you need to change the jumper on the drive. Some PC manufacturers require the rider to be set as "cable select" others as "slave" (unless of course, it's a sata drive that requires no jumpers)

  Once it is set, when you start your PC, it will be assingned a drive letter

• Disconnected (removed) external hard drive still exploring and using drive letter - how to remove?

  Dear community,

  I recently removed an external hard drive of my computer laptop windows 7, I guess it was not not ready to 'remove Saveli' it at that time. The hard drive itself is fine, but the icon remained in windows Explorer because it is disconnected. I manually assigned the drive letter Q on the drive before, and it always appears like that, since this disconnect. When I click on it, there is of course a mistake ("Q is not accessible. "Access denied"). When I plug the hard drive it is listed in another letter (E), the 'Phantom' to Q drive is not affected by it at all.
  It (the ghost drive) does not appear in the computer/disk management manager and I can also not reassign the letter Q on the original hard drive (or any other - is not in the list!).
  I would use the letter Q again to the hard drive (my paths and associations of are consistent) and want to get rid of the ghost car. Any ideas how?
  Thanks in advance,
  Philipp

  FYI
  It's great that the problem corrected itself, but for general reference or other who can run in the ii, how to fix a ' stuck or ghost hand "is to remove its entry in the registry key below and then open a new market or restart.  This problem is relatively rare, but sometimes and still does not resolve itself.
  (Note this drive letter Q is used by Office, click Run and sometimes mysteriously appears for this reason, unlike your situation.)

  Then, finally I can access any other desktop pc wired to shared folder via the Wi - Fi by this method.

  But I still don't see them on eventhrough network I can access by this method. Please help me solve this problem.

• The strange thing is that, when you go and try to remap the drive, it shows that the drive letter is mapped to a different drive used to be shared on the server?

  I am running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit in a dish netwrok with no announcement. I can map drives on the server without any problems and everything seems fine. Then after a few hours it seems to lose the mapping on the drive. There are two mapping drives and he loses a. It will show in my computer as being mapped, but you cannot access it. You can connect to the mapped drive on bringing the command run and typing in the UNC path in.

• NEW EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE IS NOT RECOGNIZED IN WINDOWS 8, BUT IS PRESENT IN DEVICE MANAGER AND IN DISK MANAGEMENT (NOT ME LEAVES NO ASSIGN A NEW DRIVE LETTER PATH)

  I buy a new drive external hard 2T hard drive (plug-n-play) for my new Windows System. When I launch the device I have here a beep let me know the unit is plugged on my USB (3.0 or 2.0 as it is backward compatible) but when I go to my computer, the device does not appear, and as such I can't use it. When I go to the devices it is recognized and works apparently correctly. After some browsing on the net, I was told that I have to assign a drive letter. Thus entering disk management, the unit is, properly partitioned. However, when I right click on the appropriate partition gout the menu to change the disk path appears but is grayed out, and as such I can't use to assign a path drive letter. I checked to see if I run as administrator which I believe that I am by default when I first activated Windows. Is there anyone who has experienced this same problem or know a fix?

  Thank you very much

  Hi, I solved the problem with help. Because Device Manager wouldn't let me not use the format option I deleted the main partition by right click on the partition and then the wizard formatted the partition to NTFS, as I store a few large recording Daw. During the process of the wizard automatically assigned a letter from path of reader (e) but you can choose other. The drive was originally formatted FAT 32. The main problem I had was in the drop-down list that appears when I just clicked on the primary partition was options of Format and assign new drive letter have been greyed out... the only option left to delete the partition and reformat the drive. It's a new external so I didn't not lose all content.
