Windows 7 Creating Alphabetized Headers And Organizing Contents Of Flash Drives?
Mar 11, 2012
Windows 7 HP has suddenly started to create headers for the alphabetical groups it has started to organize the contents of my flash drives into. Here is an example: The headers were not there last week, they have not been there since the system was built a year ago, they are not on the drives themselves and they do not appear when the flash drives are plugged into my XP system. I have made no changes that would account for the appearance of these headers during the past week or so.

I'm trying to create RAID0 with two drives. The first is 320GB and second 1TB. I know it won't be 1,32TB. The summary capacity should be 1229,5 GB (298.0 + 931.5). It asks for RAID name, RAID level, Strip Size and Capacity. Capacity is by default 596.2 GB and below is "The default value indicates the maximum capacity using the selected disks....". I hope the maximum size could be at least 1100GB. How is it possible to have available only a half of the smaller drive? I have:
GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3-B3 (BIOS version F10)
Drives Samsung (320GB) and Western Digital (1.0TB)
CPU: Intel Core i3-2100

I noticed on the forums over the last few months, many people for one reason or another having problems getting their DVD drive to boot from their newly purchased Windows 7 DVD disks, but given that many retails and e-tailers will not accept boxed software returns, I thought I would write up a quick guide on how to create a bootable flash drive that you can install Windows 7 from. This guide can also apply to those who can boot from the DVD, but are having problems finishing the install process.

I have a Windows 7 installer DVD, but I would like to transfer the files to a USB 2.0 flash stick to install from there instead of a DVD. Can someone post a link to instructions for this and the software I need to put the files on the flash and make it bootable. There seem to be a number of applications that do this, but I would like to know that I am using something that is safe and proven to work well.

I've got three different (but identical, to look at them) MicroSDHC thumb drives. When I tried them in my new Win 7 PC, it assigned a different drive letter and description to each, under Devices with Removable Storage. Even though "Hide empty drives in the computer folder" is checked in my Folder Options, it's not working -- they're still listed under Computer, grayed out. Worse, when I fire up Windows Explorer, it occasionally (but not consistently) gives me a series of errors about the drives not being available -- and this continues to happen even after I uninstall them in Device Manager.

I have a problem with my PC. It is simply can't read lot of USB drive. I need to restart in order to be able to read it. Sometimes it is working or else it is still fail to read.I don't know what is the problem but I get this Inaccessible Function error. And when I checked at Disk Management, the file format of the USB flash drive shown as RAW.I have Ubuntu on my PC (dual boot). And it is just working. Therefore for some reason, my Windows 7 is stupid enough to detect my USB file system.

All of my Removable Storage Devices (Flash drives, External HDD) do not work with my Windows 7. When I connect them, I hear the beeps but the device sometimes show up, sometimes not and sometimes they appear after a long interval. On accessing them, Windows tell me that I need to format the drive. Well, I can't do that. It's happening with all of my removable devices, not just one. They work fine with my laptop which is Windows 7 too,

I have a new HP pavilion pc with windows 7. I set up (I think) Windows Live Mail and I do receive e-mails. The problem is when I go to Windows Live Mail, I get a screen that distorts my background and the email headers are a bright blue with white letters that I can't read. when I x-out of mail the screen goes black and then restores to the normal background.

When I put the flash drive into any of the USB drive on the computer I get a message come up firstly asking me to format the flash drive. I even get this message come up when I plug my TomTom satnav in via USB.If I click on the drive designation I get the following message: {{ K:drive is not accessible. The volume does not contain a recognized file system. Make sure that all required file system drives are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted.}} I know that the memory sticks are OK as I have tried several and also tried all the USB slots on the computer and in another computer. I cannot remember having done anything to have caused the problem since last using the USP drives.

It is difficult to remove multiple flash drives using the safely remove hardware dialog. I had three flash drives plugged into a USB hub, and I wanted to remove all three at once. I click on the remove hardware icon in the notification area, but it only allows me to select one drive at a time.
When I click on a drive to remove, the dialog disappears and another window opens to let me know that the drive can be removed.
I have to repeat this process for the other two drives. Worse still, the remove hardware icon changes position when the safe to remove dialog appears.
Ideally, when multiple removable devices are installed, the remove hardware dialog should remain visible after selecting a device to remove. That would allow the user to select additional devices to remove if so desired.

I have win 7 home premium on one tower and win 7 pro. on another. My question is can I save a system iso of each one on usb flash drives in case of a crash? My home premium c:/ drive shows 445gb. free from 465gb. so would I have to use at least a 20gb. flash drive. I know New Egg has a large selection of flash drives. I have a second hd in my pro system I used to save a complete iso backup on it.

I install a flash drive, opens automatically, when I close programs and click remove I get a window item is still in use. Close all programs and click safe to remove. I am not real literate on computers but I don't know where to go to even find if there is anything left open in the flash drive. I keep going back ti remove safely and same window comes back.. How big a risk if I just remove it?

I have tried multiple fixes and still cannot connect any flash drive or external drive to any usb port on my computer without the dreaded "Usb not recognized" error. My mouse and keyboard are both usb and have worked fine though. I have unplugged the power cord from my psu for a few minutes. I have booted into safe mode. I have deleted the infcache.1 file. I have check my Bios settings (and have latest bios update). I have completely removed all the usb devices in device manager and rebooted which reinstalled everything. I have booted the computer up with a flash drive already in a usb port. I have gone into Drive Manager to see if anything is recognized without a drive letter. I have even applied the hotfix from here - [URL]. Nothing seems to work, yet all of these devices work fine on my netbook running Windows XP.
When I originally installed Windows 7 everything was working fine. I would say it roughly stopped working a month or two ago. I don't constantly use flash drives or my externals so I could be a little off on the time frame (why I didn't do a system restore). I first noticed the problem when I plugged in my Tmobile G1 phone to transfer files and it wasn't recognized. My phone would still charge off of the usb port, but I couldn't mount and browse the 4 gig sd card in my phone. It was working before because I have files on my phone that I transferred from my computer after the Windows 7 install. I started testing out my known, working flash drives as well as my usb powered 2.5" external drive and they too come up unrecognized on all usb ports (front and back).
My specs:
AMD X2 5000+ BE
Gigabyte GA-M55plus-S3G mobo
G.Skill PI Black 4GB ram (2x2 - DDR2 800)
2 Western Digital Sata drives
Nvidia 9800 GTX+ video card
450 Watt PSU (don't remember brand right now, but good amp rating on 12v for video card).
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
The only drivers I am using for the system that are not the default Windows 7 drivers are for my video card and onboard audio. Onboard audio is the only Windows 7 driver provided on the Gigabyte website for my motherboard. What shoild I do, check or double check or should I start considering formatting and a reinstall of Windows 7 (which I have been trying to avoid)?

I have a couple of flash drives I have formatted to NTFS. One for an install drive and one for a readyboost test. If I formatted the drive in CMD do I have to format it the other way (to FAT32) in CMD or can I just right click the flash drive and format it there?

I got a new motherboard yesterday, installed it, and installed windows. This morning, I decided it would be a good idea to flash the UEFI (BIOS) to the newest version. Now, when I try to boot, it just sits with a gray cursor at the top left of the screen. I went into the UEFI and went to boot order, but it only shows my 1TB hard drive and my dvd drive. But I had a 750GB hard drive with windows installed. I think this is the reason it won't boot, because it doesn't see the drive with the OS installed.

I have just recently acquired a flash-drive and have been curious as to how to encrypt some files on it. The key word being some.It's a large drive (8GB), and will be used for many different things. I want an area on the drive to be used to transport/hold personal documents which I wish to have encrypted.I have tried software like TrueCrypt which decided to use the whole drive, and didn't seem to work properly anyway (?)I want something that acts like a 'safe', I double click it, I enter a password, I access the files.I need the software to run strictly from the stick, without the need for Admin' Privileges and for it to work on most operating systems (2000 and newer)... I understand I could use old fashioned password protected/encrypted .zip's.... but I don't know if Windows can natively read these without the need of say 7zip or WinZip.

When attaching a flash drive:
1. The autoplay pop up doesn't appear;
2. The device does light up initially;
3. The device doesn't show up in "Computer"
4. The device doesn't show up in Disk Management - just Disk 0 (system reserved, C: and I and 0 (CD ROM)
5. The device appears in Device Manager under USB controllers as a storage device but I can't access it.
6. This happens with all memory sticks and occasionally with ipod etc.. but sometimes for no apparent reason they work! All devices works ok with other computers.
7. 9 times out of 10 plugging in a device or turning on the USB attached printer will cause the computer to BSOD, usually with IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL 0X0000000A
8. Devices are never allocated a drive letter.
The only thing I can think of is that I repartitioned the external hard drive (which I attach to back up) which may have confused the computer with driver numbers? Possibly?! And I did fiddle with the System Reserved drive as I had back up issues and one of the solutions was to rename it, then I renamed it back again (I think).I'm running Windows 7 Home 64-bit, Avira anti virus and the computer is about 6 months old, working ok until a month ago. Can't think that we downloaded anything about the same time as the problem started but possible. I've tried to update all drivers that I can think of but the only one that needed doing was the Nvidia GeForce 7025 which was outdated.

I am trying to add a page number series on the bottom of the pages and alternating headers at the top, odd and even pages, and to begin these on the third page of my document. I cannot get it to do this. The page numbering shanges when I try to add the alterning header, and none of it will begin on the third page, even using a page break. How can I do all this?

My laptop is not letting me copy anything onto USB flash drives. I'm using windows 7. I have already tried system restore and uninstalling the drive in Device Manager and Disabling write protection in the registry but to no avail. I am able to format the pen drive and also access files on it and copy files from it. But I am not able to paste files from my laptop onto the pen drive. It says "Destination folder access denied" and "You need permission to perform this action". I am running an administrator account. Also I am able to do everything normally in the case of a external HDD but again face the problem when trying to paste something to SD cards. I have taken ownership, run as administrator and also tried to drag-drop but to no avail. This not for just 1 particular file/folder. I am not able to copy anything to the USB and at the same time I am able to copy anything to the external HDD.

In this tutorial, we'll be using the context menu to move and copy files and folders. The context menu appears when you right click and as its name suggests, it changes depending on what context or situation it appears under.
When you have completed this tutorial, you should be confident with copying and moving files and folders around your PC and understand how to create your own folders and organize content on your machine.

Under computer I go to my drive of folders. When I click new folder either by right clicking or by hitting new folder the system then creates 2 or 3 new folders at one time. I then have to go back and delete the extra folders. At first I did not mind because it only happened once or twice and now it is every time.

I just got a new PC with Windows 7 installed and have run into this issue twice, both times with a particular folder - let's call it "UsefulDocuments2" (the actual folder name DOES have a 2 at the end, but there is no folder called "UsefulDocuments").
Sometimes, when I try to view the folder contents using Explorer or through Windows Live Mail (in an attempt to include a file in the folder as an attachment), I can't view the contents of the folder. When I access the folder, it has the proper path listed in the address bar of the window and displays the number of items (171) in the lower left corner. However, the status bar just says "Searching for items..." except I can occasionally see it flicker to say "171 items."
While it is "Searching for items..." (which is 99.9% of the time), it doesn't display any of the contents of the folder. The scrollbar on the side of the window constantly flickers - it's recognizing that there are 171 items in the folder and that the scrollbar is necessary, but then keeps re-searching the folder contents, I guess.
Weirdly, if I change the folder name to, say, "UsefulDocuments" it works fine (at least right now). If I then change it back to "UsefulDocuments2" it reverts to its old behavior. Also, if I open a file in it in Word (2010), I can view and access the contents of the folder without any problem at all.
Obviously, I can just change the folder name, but don't really want to for organizational reasons, and also am just curious as to what's going on and how to fix it should it happen to other folders, etc.

I'm using 7057. Not sure when this problem started as I don't use CDs or DVDs that much. The drive works fine, ImgBurn works fine, all other programs seem to see the files on a disk fine, they just don't show up in Windows Explorer. I click on the drive in the "Navigation Pane" and nothing happens. I've tried two good DVD drives, uninstalled ImgBurn and PowerISO, still nothing.
