USB Network As Drive / Disconnecting Drive?
May 18, 2011I have a External USB Drive that is Networked as a Network Drive, Windows7 will not allow me to disconnect the drive. The only option Seagate gave was to make sure the drive was not indexing which it's not, my goal is to disconnect the drive, connect it to another computer etc Followed by reconnecting it back to the previous computer and it continues on as a network drive or if I connect it to another computer it continues to act as network drive. Seagate told me that I'd have to purchase their NAS drive which I didn't want too.

Map Network Drive From Web-hosting?
Feb 9, 2011I wanted to know if its possible to map a folder from my web-hosting account as a drive on Windows 7. I know I can map an FTP folder - but that gets mapped as a folder and NOT as a drive. The reason why I want to map something as a drive is so that I can use it for cloud storage.
Services like DropBox are blocked at my workplace so unfortunately I cannot use them and hence I am looking to map a folder from my personal web-hosting as a drive on my computer.
My web-hosting is a basic PHP-MySQL hosting with cPanel version 10.

Feb 21, 2012recently moved a 1 Tb drive off my main computer and set it up as USB external drive on my Linksys E4200 router.I would like to add a folder on this drive to my 'pictures' library in Win 7. Messages tell me I cannot because it is not indexed. Context menu on the drive/folder dose not give option to index nor does the Windows Search allow me to add the networked drive as a location to be searched.
Is there a workaround that can make the off-line drive searchable from my Win 7 machine?

Oct 3, 2012I am using 2 Windows 7 Professional 64 bit machines and 1 Windows 7 Professional 32 bit machine on a wired Ethernet network.
The network works very well with one issue. When I add a new folder on one machine and try to access that new folder from another machine the new folder does not appear. I must disconnect the network drive from the machine with the new folder then map a new drive. When I map the new drive the new folder displays in Windows Explorer on the second machine.
This is very frustrating when I want to add an email attachment file from another machine and it won't display until I disconnect and re-map the drive.

Oct 31, 2009I have a Drobo set up as a network drive -via droboshare - everything works fine, however applications (specifically backup software, drobo copy or Bonkey) cannot see the dirve which is mapped to z: when the application are set to run as administrator.
Drobocopy requires this so turning it off is not an option. Bonkey doesn't but I am having issues running it and I think turning it on might help. Any ideas? I have tried turning off my firewall but that hasn't helped.

Map Network Drive On Different Domain?
Nov 16, 2009I'm connected to my college network via VPN and would like to map a network drive. When I try to access the share on the network form 'RUN', it sure does ask me the username/password credentials, but I understand the domain is the problem here.The domain it's trying to use is apparently wrong and I'm not able to change it. Any ideas? The domain it's giving is Domain : <Windows 7 system username>-PC Which is not what I want. I'm not able to change it as well EDIT:I just gave the domain name as part of the username and it worked! For example : username : Campususerid

Nov 18, 2009I have a small-business network set up, which is basically just a shared drive. The server is running Windows NT, and when I try to connect to it, my laptop (running Windows 7) asks for a username and password. I've entered the default ones for the router, and I don't know of any other password protections on the network. Any ideas?

Apr 9, 2010I mapped a network drive and checked reconnect at logon.The name is: myUserId (\serverNameHome).I have tried these things from an xp forum:

First, you need have a "Shared Folder" on your hard drive. If you haven't got one already, create a new folder on your hard drive called "Shared", then right-click it and select properties. Click the Sharing tab and tick the "Share this folder" box. Next, click "My Computer" and in the Tools Menu, click "Map Network Drive". Notice the little down-arrow next to the drive letter shown. Click the arrow to get a list of letters. Select the one you want to delete, then browse for your Shared folder and select it. By this means, you will assign the drive letter to a real folder. Make sure the "reconnect at login" box is un-ticked. Click the Finish button to get a warning. Answer YES and the Shared folder will open. Close it. Next, right-click the drive in My Computer and select disconnect. Ah, I hear you say, but it is still there! Re-boot and have another look - enjoy.The problem it causes is when I try to connect to a Citrix application a Windows folder is created on the mapped drive and stuff is put there.Then the Citrix app fails.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMapped Network Drive On Same PC Not Writable?
May 19, 2012I run some CAD and compiler software that (unfortunately!) uses absolute path names in project files, so I need to access all my files with exactly the same path for my PC and my laptop. Enventually I want to put all files on an external NAS drive, but only have the PC at the moment.So my first thought was create a folder on my PC, say C:X_Drive, map it as a network drive, say X:, and share the folder as X: on the laptop. Then I'd always access files through the mapped drive, and all paths would be consistent, and moving to an external drive should be trivial.
This sort of works. I've set up the Security tab to give everyone full access. I can read and write the folder itself, but cannot write to the mapped drive version on the same PC, I'm warned I don't have permission. I'm an administrator and the only user on the system. I've tried UNC addressing and direct fixed IP addressing when mapping, no joy. Subst doesn't work properly either (drive comes up as disconnected in explorer, but I believe that's a known Windows bug).
Error When Trying To Connect To Network Drive?
Apr 21, 2011Getting an error when trying to connect to a network drive 'An error occured while re-connecting.No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept'Now this has been setup with a local folder on the server shared and is being mapped to 19 people on the network.I looked under advanced permissions and can see max allowed connections set to 20, there are 19 people in the company but the problem lies that some bring in their laptops and attempt to connect to to the existing shares as well which is obviously causing problems as I can only allow max '20' connections to this mapped folder.Is there any fix that will allow Win 7 Pro x64 I can enter in the registry to allow more connections?

Macrium To Backup To A Network Drive?
Aug 24, 2012my son set up a backup strategy. He has a Seagate GoFlex 2TB network drive that he planned to do backup with. It comes with software to backup files and folders, but not the system image. He has Windows 7 home which apparently can't do backup to a network drive. I see Macrium is recommended here. Can the free version backup and recover a system image to a network drive?
View 1 Replies View RelatedBackup To Network Drive Runs Out Of RAM
Oct 1, 2012I have been using Win 7 Professional, Backup and Restore sucessfully for almost a year where I have been backing up my computer (250Gbyte Sys Image and 150Gbyte User Folder) to a network dual RAID 2TB each hardrives. A few months ago, these backups failed to complete sucessfully, causing the computer to lock up. At first, I thought it was becuase I left the computer running for too many days but it seemed to lock up every Sun morning which is when I discovered that it coincided with my scheduled backup time. What happens is during backup, the RAM memory slowly increases until it gets into the mid 90%, the computer locks up and displays an error message, not enough memory.I have reduced my backup size from 150Gbyte to 50GByte and I still get the same result, I have completely started over with a new backup setup, selecting the network drive etc. No luck there.

Sep 6, 2010I just upgraded to Windows 7 Enterprise having had used XP for years. In addition, I have an 8tb server networked with a large collection of movies. With XP, I made each folder a thumbnail (.db file) so that each folder containing the movie would have a picture of the movie cover. My HTPC is still running XP, and of course, can view the thumbnails just fine. With Windows 7, I have tried everything.Basically, i can't get it to show the thumbnail (.db file) which is contained inside each movie folder.I have changed the folder options to "always show icons, never thumbnails" so that it will show thumbnails. I have changed the local group policy editor to make sure that windows has the proper settings. There is even an option to" turn off the display of thumbnails and only display icons on network folders."

Nov 17, 2011My boss has a special network folder mapped only to his PC. He keeps a lot of xls and doc files that are for his eyes only. One of the xls files refuses to save, the error message states that the "file is currently in use". No one else has it open, or even has access to it's saved location.
He can still save a copy with "Save As.." but he can't even manually delete the original file afterwards.
I'm thinking it might be a hung process, but I wanted to see if someone here has a solution/explanation. I'm going over to mess with it now, and will check back later to update.
Compatibility Mode On A Network Drive App?
Jan 27, 2011I have an application that runs on a network drive so users can access it from different locations. We have recently added a Windows 7 system, and know when the application is installed locally, it needs to run in XP Compatibility mode. However, I am looking for a way to set this compatibility mode on the network drive install for my Windows 7 user.So, is there a way to change the compatibility mode of an application running off a network drive? Or does the application have to be on the local harddrive?

Sep 1, 2011I'm having a problem with my network, which consists of 2 Windows 7 Ultimate x64 PCs.
My Dell laptop is connected through a wireless router to my HTPC and both computers share their Multimedia drives, where the connection worked perfectly in the old school workgroup network setup (no HOMEGROUP). I say workED, right up until a transfer of files from laptop to HTPC got disrupted as the HTPC suddenly crashed. I restarted it, deleted part of the files that got transfered, but now the connection only works one way: HTPC to Laptop.
I've tried every possible solution google gave me, but to no avail... I've tried defragmenting the HTPC disk, tried fixing errors on the disk, tried removing all sharing connections and making new ones... but keep getting the same message "You do not have permission to access \HTPCd". I even tried system restore on the HTPC, which was successful itself, but didn't fix my problem. I have both firewalls and antivirus software off for now. Network discovery is turned on for both computers, they are in the same workgroup. I've tried reseting the router as well.
Can it be that the broken file transfer screwed the HTPC disk up? I can access it without problems from the HTPC itself.
