View 7 RepliesI purchased a new HP Windows 7 laptop for my wife to take to France and England. The computer works perfectly here in the US! I have Microsoft Security Essentials running on it. All software and drivers are up to date.
Over there when she trys to browse the Internet using the hotels' WiFi she gets a message about certificates being expired. I assume this is the website's certificate. But she says no websites can be accessed.
I lost my Event Viewer, and had to do a repair installation to fix it. Unfortunately, during the repair install, Windows decided to rename my second HD as the D: drive... it was K: before that. Now I cannot access any of my docs, pictures, music, or videos through the normal means... they don't show up in libraries or explorer, and apps like Restorator and Sure Thing (CD labeler) cannot find them. I think that means the paths are broken..?
It won't allow me to rename the HD back into K: (it's not listed as available). I can access the data by clicking Computer > D, and I can see the data is there, but its unusable as of now. Any ideas?
i want to change a HDD drive letter from F to D, this drive has games and apps installed on it, will those still run ok after i change the letters?
FYI the OS is on a seperate drive C
Kind of a wierd one, at least for me. All of a sudded, whenever I type the letter"l" in any program, I get the blue locked screen. All I need do is hit enter or click the user icon( since it is not passworded) but does anyone have any idea what's going on here.Running Win 7 professional 32 bit.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI just built a new computer which I am trying to set up identical to two of my present ones. The first terabyte hard drive is divided into 5 partitions, C thru G. Windows 7 is on C and Windows XP is on D. The other three partitions are categorized storage. I also added two more terabyte drives which are supposed to be H & I. Since my CD/DVD rom had assumed "H" in Windows 7, I reassigned the drive letter "J" to it. When I installed what was supposed to be my "H" drive, it showed up as "I". When I attempted to reassign the drive letter "H" to it, "H" is not on the list of available drives, So I tried renaming it to "Q" and then back to see if "H" would show up. It didn't. I went ahead and put the final drive in It was supposed to be "I" drive and indeed it came up correctly as "I" drive. So everything is in order now except for my "H" drive which still remains as "Q" until I can figure out how to make the "H" drive letter become available again. This si important to me since I do regular synchronization between my other computers and the drive letters need to be matched on all of them.I am not on the new computer right now, but on my last built one which has the same setup. I didn't seem to have any problem on this one since the drive letters are all on order. I've never had a lick of trouble getting them right on the XP partitions.What do I need to do to get "H" back on the list of available drive letters?

I set up the M drive following these instructions found here from LifeHacker and here from Microsoft previously.
I decided to try the same with 7 and everything goes according to plan until I get to the part where I go to add the new "M" drive and I can not click to "Assign the following drive letter" followed by letters that I can assign this new drive. I can only select "Mount in the following empty NTFS folder." Is anyone familliar with this issue and tell me what I am doing wrong?
I just got a couple of new HDDs to make notebook backups (clones) on. When I first formatted each one, using a USB dock, I set the drive letter of each one to U. Everytime I change the drives, the drive letter changes itself to E. I change them back to U but they change themselves back to E the next time I put them in the dock. What is going on here and how can I keep the drive letters from changing?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm sure this has come up before but I'm after more detail. I have a new PC. My 'C' drive is a SSD.A second 2 TB HDD was assigned 'E'.I will choose, where possible to load apps onto 'E' because of the size, restrictions of the SSD. So far I've been hold back but have installed MS Office 2010 on 'E' and the Canon software for a Pixma multi-function.I have now installed 3 more, 1 TB HDDs (from older PCs) and one of these is 'D'.I'd like to change the 2 TB drive to 'D' and change the existing 'D' to 'E'.Microsoft issue a warning that some windows apps will have problems if a drive letter is changed but don't specify any.If I do change the letters, will this cause problems with the path to the Office suite? If problems do arise, does reverting to the original lettering resolve things - or is the registry well and truly screwed by then? Would getting a registry backup done and having it on the desktop be of any use?

Does anyone know how to get Windows to assign a drive letter to the USB drive automatically?
till 2 days ago, when I connected a USB stick or any other USB device, it was given a driver letter automatically and a window prompted for which actions I want to do.Now (after a windows update?), the drive doesn't receive a drive letter automatically. I have to go into disc manager a give manually a drive letter in order to be able to use the drive.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI had windows 7 on a SSD drive, assigned C: by windows 7, but it was full so I decided I'd clone it onto a bigger SSD drive using Acronis Disk Director. Went swimmingly I thought, both drives contained the same data. I wasn't too sure what my next step ought to be, whether acronis will have sorted it so that my new SSD now has the orginal SSD's drive letter or not. If it did, it will be mean a simple transition. But you guessed it, it left the drive letters the same, so when I booted up, it loaded from the orginal SSD. I then changed the original SSD drive letter, and used EasyBCD to remove the original boot and create a new one with the new SSD. Unfortunate now when I boot up Windows 7 I get a Preparing Your Desktop message for a couple of mins, but it's then followed by a screen with a cursor but no desktop icons or taskbar. It also seemed unresponsive to keyboard strokes.

Using Acronis True Image 2010, I keep 2 images of each OS on D.I'd like to put an image of C onto E, then make some changes to it. I think I tried this back in the Vista beta days, but can't recall if I ever got it to work, tempted to say "no".

View 5 Replies View RelatedI installed Windows 7 Ultimate on a newly formatted scsi drive that carried designator "D"(the existing "C" was a smaller SCSI that I wanted to get rid of) I removed the old "C" drive and installed another new scsi(identical to the new boot drive). The second drive was recognized but did not get a letter assignment. I configured the second new drive as mirror to the other("D"). Worked fine except that the second drive was also asigned "D" in the process, and seems to be working fine and has been successfully loaded as a mirror. I want to change the designator of the first (or either one, really) to "C". When I try to do that to either one, I get the flag: "the parameter is incorrect". Motherboard is Intel S5000VSA with Xeon 2.5 GHz quad.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDual Boot Windows 7 x64 beta
XP x32
After installing Windows 7 into a new partition, the OS started up fine from the new dual boot screen, but I didn't have access to my Win XP partition from within explorer. In disk management, I was able to add a letter to my WinXP volume (I took the next available "O") and it popped up in explorer no problem. However, after restarting, Win 7 begins to load, then BSODs way too fast to think about catching with camera.
I got the option to run startup repair at the restart, and I did so. The conclusion there was that I had plugged in a device during the last session that was now causing problems. That is bogus, unless that device is my newly lettered partition. I read many a thread in here about re-lettering a partition that had lost its letter in the install (usually the other OS volume in a dual-boot environment), but didn't see those posters then have issues upon restart.
I can boot into XP, although here now NONE of my drives have letters.
Any Help? I really was diggin' my Windows 7 time, and really enjoyed taking advantage of all my RAM and x64 versions of CS4 and CAD.
I installed Windows 7 to test it on my PC (I still use XP for most purposes). Now I want to reinstall it because I want to try a different version. Unfortunately, I would have to re-assign all drives again and I have a lot of them. Is there any way to save the current assignment and restore it when I have reinstalled Windows?

Drive 1: vista boot loader, vista32, two partitions (vista on C, some stuff on D), both NTFS
drive 2: broken grub loader (never mind actually), one ntfs partition with some porn, games, and other usual stuff . named E.
so then, i copy the 7100 x64 distr into my flash drive, boot it, and install our beloved 7even into the drive 2. it does not ask me anything, write its boot loader to drive 1, lets me choose which OS to boot into each time... perfect. BUT(T):
7even named her own partition C, while drive 1 partitions became D and E. i swapped last two easily, using 7even's disk management utility. that's 1 of 3 and that's not enough. i really want 7even's partition to have the same letter as in vista. i even googled it, and didn't find any answers.
7even is still unconfigured, so it would not be a problem to reinstall it. even more, if it's really necesarry, i can move all of drive 1's data somewhere else, so i can format it.
