VixMntapi_MountVolume is not because of the missing driver

I use VixDiskLib and VixMntapi to open a VMDK. I am able to open the drive and get the volume descriptor, but when I call VixMntapi_MountVolume it returns VIX_E_MNTAPI_NO_DRIVER.  This driver to I need to install, and where can I find it?  Is this something we can redistribute?

Thank you

Gregg

Hi Gregg,

A driver model kernel is needed under Windows to be able to mount the volumes. On Linux, the fuse kernel module is used.

When you install VDDK, the driver is installed automatically. This is a software only driver (unfortunately, you need to write your own setup utility to install the driver), he was named vstor2 - mntapi10.sys - Yes, you can redistribute.

Thank you for using VDDK,

    Hello

    The CEekey.exe seems to be part of the Toshiba E - key utility.
    Therefore, you should try to reinstall this utility to obtain the keys working again.

    I was getting an error (triangle) in Device Manager and could not update the Teredo tunnel network driver, so I uninstallled thinking she would be automatically reinstall when I quit and restart. Unfortunately, he didn't like that. The pilot is now missing and I can't go online (I use another XP PC to write this note). PS: If necessary, I can have access to another PC in Vista Business.

    How can I go about restoring the missing driver? Thank you

    I called Technical Support from Microsoft (paying). It turns out that this 'Teredo nickname Tunneling (something)"card network is not necessary.  I plugged in the RJ45 on another port on my router and rebooted the PC. I now get access i.e. connectivity to the internet. I checked the Device Manager. It is no longer a "Teredo nickname Tunneling (something)" listed under "Network adapters" network card in Device Manager and I no longer get an error message about the Device Manager.  Detective Conan.

    You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

    Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-

    If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.

    How to extend my C drive volume in Windows 7, so that the disc I want to merge in drive C is not adjacent to the C drive, please help

    Jackin salvation,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

    When resizing of volumes in Windows7, you must be aware of the following criteria:

    • Only you have the possibility to reduce or enlarge NTFS or RAW (unformatted) partition using Windows 7 tools.
    • When you shrink a partition, files not movable as a page file or a shadow storage area are not resettled. This is why you cannot reduce the size of the Windows beyond volume where these types of files. If you need to reduce the volume, you will need to remove, move or delete the page file or the shadow first storage area, and then reduce the volume and then add the page file or shadow storage on the disk area.
    • If enough bad clusters are found on the disk partition will not shrink.
    • You must be logged on to an administrator account in order to resize Windows Volumes in windows 7.

     

    Windows 7 Partitions or Volumes of shrinkage

    This section shows must shrink a Windows volume or partition. To do this, we must open the Windows 7 disk management tool. The following steps will guide you in this process.

    1. Click the button on the Start Menu in the bottom left of your desktop , and then click the Control Panel menu option.

    2. When Control Panel opens, click on system and Maintenance category.

    3. When opens in system and Maintenance category, scroll down and click on Administrative Tools.

    4. Double-click the computer management icon. The console of the computer management will now open. Down, you will see a category called storage and under this category will be the disk management icon, as shown below.

    5. Click on the disk management icon, and you will now be in the disk management utility as shown in the figure below. This utility you can see all the partitions on your computer and format, delete, create, develop or resize them. For this tutorial, I'm going to resize the partition E: of 16 GB so that when completed, there is a 8 GB partition and provides another 8 GB of free space I can use for other purposes.

    6. To shrink the partition, just click with the right button on the partition that you want to work with and select reduce . In this example, I click right on the E: partition and in the menu that appears, I select shrink.

    7. A screen similar to the one below appears. This screen indicates the size of the current partition you, how you can reduce it to a field where you can enter a specific amount to reduce, and then how big partition will be once it shrinks. By windows 7 default enters the maximum amount that you can reduce the volume, but if you want to change this amount, do so by entering the amount in MB in the enter the amount of space to shrink in MB: field. When you are satisfied with how windows 7 will shrink the partition, click the minimize button.

    8. Once windows 7 is complete decreases the volume, you will be in the disk management screen, but now the partition size will be the size you requested as shown below.

    Now that you have reduced the size of your volume of Windows, you can close the computer management console.

    You have now finished reducing your score and you have the extra space available for use as required.

    Windows 7 Partitions or Volumes extension

    This section shows that you must extend a Windows volume. To do this, we must open the tool of disk management where we can resize our volumes. The following steps will guide you in this process.

    1. Click the button on the Start Menu in the bottom left of your desktop, and then click the Control Panel menu option.

    2. When Control Panel opens, click on system and Maintenance category.

    3. When opens in system and Maintenance category, scroll down and click on Administrative Tools.

    4. Double-click the computer management icon. The computer management console will now open. Down, you will see a category called storage and under this category will be the disk management icon, as shown below.

    5. Click on the disk management icon, and you will now be in the disk management utility as shown in the figure below. This utility you can see all the partitions on your computer and format, delete, create, develop or resize them. For this tutorial, I'll extend the E: partition so that it uses the rest of the available space on the disc 1.

       
    6. To extend the partition, he just click right-click on the partition that you want to work with, and then select the Extend option. In this example, I click right on the E: partition and in the menu that appears, select Extend.

    7. A wizard appears as shown below. Press the Next button to continue.

    8. A new screen, shown below, is displayed allowing you to select the free space available on your local hard disks that you can use to extend the space of the selected partition. It is important to note that Windows 7 allows you to extend a volume using free space on the same drive as well as the other disks. I strongly suggest that you do not extend a volume on a disk with free space of the other. It is because if one of the disks has a hardware failure, then all data on this volume will be removed. Rather just to use the free space on a drive that contains the volume you extend
      .

      As discussed in step 5, for this tutorial we are going to extend my 8 GB partition (drive E :) to the total size of disk 1 using all the available space. As disk 1 is only available free space on my computer, windows 7 automatically select as shown in the image above and use the maximum amount available to extend the partition. If there were other drives with free space that they have shown during the selection available . If you want to extend the volume to a lower amount you can change in the Select the amount of space in MB: field. In the contrary case, press us the button Next .

    9. You will be now be presented with a confirmation screen. If you are sure you want to extend the volume, press the Finish button. Otherwise, press the back button to make changes or the Cancel button to cancel this operation.

    10. Once Windows 7 completed to extend the volume, you will be on the screen disk management, where you can see the amount that you have extended with the new size. An example of this is shown below.

    At this point, you can close the Management window of the computer that your task is completed.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Difficulty to install Windows XP because of the missing HARD drive driver

    Hello

    I recently bought a P200-1 and I try to install Windows XP instead of Vista.
    I bought Windows XP Home Edition. Installation was first arrested for lack of HARD disk drive.
    Classic message: «Setup didn't find any hard drives installed in your computer»
    I downloaded Toshiba support "Intel Matrix Storage Manager" (pilot: ICH8M_32bits).

    The contents of this directory was extracted to the root of a disk.
    I restart my PC with XP CD-Rom and floppy drive connected. Setup download SATA AHCI floppy driver (press F6, and then later S key).
    The installer can read disks and partitions and offers the choice of a partition for the installation of XP system.

    After you have selected a partition, the installation begins and the installation program asks to insert "Intel Matrix Storage Manager" in drive A.
    Here's the problem: floppy drive not responding, disk is not read and XP installation stops.
    Ask for a second time to insert the floppy is suspect because he thought the driver drive HARD has already been read successfully.

    What can I do now?

    Thank you for your help

    JR

    Hello

    The problem might be that you have formatted the HARD drive (partition) or created a new partition after the installation of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
    In this case the formatting removes the driver from the HARD drive.

    Another possibility is the use of software called nLite. This software allows to include the SATA driver in the XP installation CD.

    Simply search for nLite and you will get lots of useful details.

    I bought this laptop Toshiba Satellite L50-B-15U , and lately I have had this problem. Whenever I want to play a video on youtube, or most of the flash videos in browsers, they load and buffer, but used to play and are stuck at 0:00. After brewing the button refresh to several times, sometimes I can play a video as normal, but its similar to 20 times 1. I know that it's because of the driver audio conexant because with the standard microsoft driver, this problem does not occur, but the audio is * ty.

    The strange thing is, when I try to look up from my laptop on the Toshiba site to download driver, I can't find the audio driver Conexant for windows 8.1, only those for windows 7.

    So far I have tried:
    -Restart the computer
    -Completely remove the Chuck (reboot afterwards)
    -Reinstall the driver from the toshiba website (windows 7 a)
    -Try the other conexant drivers I found on the internet.

    According to specification for laptop, your laptop comes with Win8.1 64-bit which includes all drivers tested.
    Have you noticed this problem since the day where we?
    To be honest I can't imagine it, especially if that happen "lately.
    Maybe you have installed something, an update that might be responsible for this.

    Try to roll back OS a few days using the System Restore tool, just to check if the problem will be solved or not.

    So now I can't enter to windows or restart my computer, how do I get into my windows again? Help, please. :(

    Hello


    1. What is the exact error message you get?

    Method 1:
    I suggest you try the steps from the following link

    Windows Vista or Windows 7 unbootable, and the Startup Repair tool does not resolve the problem
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/934540

    Method 2: go to the BIOS (Basic Input Output system) Setup, & change the switch setting between AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) and IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics), SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) and the drive controller is restarted. If it solves your problem, the driver for the HARD disk (HDD) is corrupted.

    IMPORTANT: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Method 3: Your hard drive is damaged to the point that it cannot even recognize that Vista has been installed on it. If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you can try running chkdsk to fix the HARD disk; you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc.

    a. Insert the installation disc and restart your computer.
    b. click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.
    c. If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

    Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see check the link for the BIOS: frequently asked questions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

    d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
    e. click on repair your computer.
    f. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    g. in the System Recovery Options menu, click command prompt
    h. type chkdsk /f / r and press ENTER.

    Important:
    when running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost

    This will perform a disk check and perhaps recover the system. CHKDSK can repair problems related to bad sectors, lost clusters, reticulate files and directory errors

     

    Method 4: I suggest you run /ScanOs, /FixBoot commands from following link:

    How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

  • Internet not working, suspect the missing drivers

    Hi all

    My laptop is a HP pavilion dv6z 6100 laptop with windows 7 64-bit OS.

    I recently bought a new hard drive and reinstalled windows and while I was there, I put in a new screen.  Long story.

    I did both jobs and everthing seems to be okay and my computer booted up beautifully, but now my internet does not work.  I looked at my device manager and there were a few nice yellow triangles with some! "s in em.  There are 7 of em.

    I tried to update the drivers with what has been on the hp website, but it doesn't seem to do much.

    Devices with errors are:

    Network PCI Device, controller, SM Bus controller, USB controller, unknown device, USB controller, unknown device

    the hardware for them in the same order ID are:

    PCI/VEN_14E4 & DEV_4727 & SUBSYS_1483103C & REV_01 - RCO network.

    Device PCI - PCI/VEN_10EC & DEV_5209 & SUBSYS_358B103C & REV_01

    Con bus PCI/VEN_1022 & DEV_780B & SUBSYS_358B103C & REV - 13 - SM.

    the rest, I'm not sure that are important.  If you guys want the ID I'll give 'em to you.

    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    Hello:

    You can imagine right.

    Here are links to the drivers you need.

    First install the SM Bus controller... Install the chipset driver (first listed file) and reboot.

    Then, install the driver USB 3.
