View 2 Replies View RelatedThe problem that I am having all started after I updated my Windows XP OS to Windows 7. When I start my computer up software is meant to start up a NAS drive that is on the network. This works fine but this software only starts the NAS drive after the computer is started and Windows 7 places it has offline. When the drive finishes startup should it not also display in Windows 7 that it is now online? This is what happened on my previous XP OS and it also works with another 2 machines that I have attached to the network which are XP and Windows Vista. how do you get Windows 7 to automatically check to see if the NAS drive is online or offline?

I know mount and unmount are not commands btw, I just wanna know the difference.
is mounting/dismounting a drive same as putting it into online/offline and why not if so.
I once was able to print wireless windows 7. Now it shows offline. I cannot find any option to turn it online.

View 4 Replies View RelatedLast night as I was attempting to install Windows 8 RP to test it out, I decided I would do a dual boot incase I didn't like it. It downloaded, burned fined and I went to make a new partition, and this is where things went south for me. It converted every disk to dynamic once I had created the new disk to install it on and for the life on me I can't get it to convert back to basic, so I'm pretty well screwed if something goes wrong. Things I've done:
1) Attempt system restore - Ok, so I didn't have a restore point created so this is of no help.
2) I followed this guide found here on SevenForums and attempted all 3 methods - nothing worked Convert a Dynamic Disk to a Basic Disk
3) I downloaed EaseUse Partition master to attempt to change dynamic back to basic, and still a no go.
4) Tried to install Windows 8 again and it would not let me delete the current dynamic disk partitions to start over
5) Tried HP recovery tools to set the computer back to factory condition and it wouldn't work.
Is it possible to delete everything and start over from scratch or will it still be dynamic? At this point, i want a time machine so I can go back before ever attempting to make a dual boot.

View 8 Replies View Related"The disk is offline because it has a signature collision with another disk that is online" Message when original and cloned hard drives are both installed. There is a "simple, way too simple" fix, which makes the inaccessible hd accessible. It obviously changes the signature and OF COURSE MAKES THE HARD DRIVE NO LONGER BOOTABLE. Absolutely negates the idea of cloning a boot drive, required recloning, etc. Live and learn. The cloned drive does not require authorization when booting the original W7 64 bit system. The cloned drive also boots up on a foreign 32 bit computer, complete with all applications. However the W7 OS was not authorized.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI formatted and installed windows 7 64 bit in a pc which previously had windows 7 32 bit. When i booted my 1tb dynamic disk was not detected. So I went into disk management and it had listed my disk as "Foreign Disk". So i imported the foreign disk.
The drive was detected and opened. So i rebooted the pc but now the drive is still not appearing in my computer. When i go to disk management the 1tb appears but there is no drive letter assigned. When i try to assign drive letter it statest that "Specified File cannot be found"
Im trying to convert a drive on my laptop from FAT32 to NTFS as recommended by Microsoft baseline security analyzer. When I type in convert E: /fs:ntfs command in the cmd prompt I get a message that I dont have permissions to do so. How, on my own machine do I get permissions or what do I type in to get to root? I know that on Linux machines you type in su to enter password to get to root user but Im not sure how on my own windows machine. I am a 1st year IT student and am learning. I thought I had all the permissions since I am logged into my machine as administrator.
