I have tried Googling mapped drives, and various related terms, buthave not really found a good explanation. I would appreciate someone explaining just what a "mapped drive" is and how/why it would be used.
View 9 RepliesI just walked into my home office and there had been a power outage. I got the message (on my 4 month old Vista x64 system) "disc boot failure please insert system disc and press enter" I am scared to death. It finally booted up but I need to get to work fast. I can find a lot of tutorials to create an image but what if I need to use it? I have Macrium reflect "free edition" I need to create an image. I can figure that part out. My questions are.
1-Can I create this image on another computer on my home network? If so, how would I use this image if I need it.
2-Does creating a ghost image create a bootable .iso and how do I use the ghost image.
3-If my HD fails. I need to get a new one, restore Vista from the recovery disc(s) I already made with HP recovery disc maker to factory state. Then use this "ghost" image to get (what) back? Software? Settings? That's my main worry.

I have two laptops and a desktop. The desktop is running Windows XP and the two laptops are running Vista. I have all three on the same network and there is no problem there. I recently had my laptop at a local school and connected to the network there (not sure it is relevant, but I thought I would throw that in there). After I got home, I have been unable to re-connect to my network drives. I tried to remap them, but the other computer, drives, etc, aren't showing up in the My Computer or the Network area, or when I try to map them.
My wife's laptop is having no problems. The drives still show up on hers without a problem and nothing has changed on her computer. So, I know it is the laptop with Vista that is the problem (don't want anyone telling me to download the patch for the XP). I am thinking this is a simple stupid little setting glitch that I am over looking, but I am at my wits end. If memory serves me, it did this before when I had the computer at the same school and I don't remember how I fixed it.
‘No mapping between account names and security IDs was done (0x80070534)
I have an Acer laptop running Vista Home Premium SP1 connected via a wireless network to a Desktop PC running Windows XP Professional SP3.
Attached to the Desktop is a Maxtor USB hard disk which is used for backup of the Desktop. I can read/write from the laptop from/to the Maxtor. When I use the Vista Backup and Control Centre on the laptop to establish backup on the Maxtor, I can browse to the folder on the Maxtor, but when I enter a username and password I get the following:
If I use an administrator username on the desktop pc I get:
‘No mapping between account names and security IDs was done (0x80070534). Please ensure that the username is valid’ … (it is!)
If I use a limited username I get :
You need full control permission for the network share. Make the user a co-owner, with Full Control. The network share cannot be on a computer running Windows XP Home. (0x8100002A)’ As I say above, I am using XP Professional SP3 on the Desktop Computer.
