How To Reassign Which Drive The Computer Uses For Memory Cards
Apr 30, 2012
I stuck a compact flash memory card into my computer and it wouldn't see it. Somewhere I saw that the computer sees memory cards as drive K. It so happens that some time ago I set up a partition on the hard drive as K.
I went into Disk Management and changed the letter to R, restarted the computer. It now won't see any drive. Everything on the desktop seemed to work and I could access the internet, but whenever I tried to look at C or R it would say something like 'server failed', or 'cannot locate server'.
So I went back to Disk Management and changed the letter back to K and now everything works fine. I have a number of programs located in K. If I can I would rather re-assign which drive the computer uses for memory cards (Win7, 64bit)
The problem is that no kinds of storage cards are currently working perfect on my computer.For an example no phones can be connected, have tryed 2 htc's with microsd cards, and a sony ericson with an m2 card, and same problem. Also if i try to open any SD cards, like camera it dosent work.The thing is that it comes up as removable drive, but when i try to open it it just says please insert card. I have tryed deleting, installing reformatting drivers, and cards like crazy and its the same. I have also tryed changing the drive letters around but the issue is the same.The only thing that makes the work is the following: If i leave the card in the cardreader, or a phone connected, then restarts the pc whitout removing the card or phone, then it works when its rebooted. but asoon as i remove the card/phone and reinsert them the issue is still there "please insert card".I have even changed the motherboard, cpu, and memory, and formated the computer 3 times but still same issue. So im thinking that windows is installing wrong driver or something? [code] Also the issue was the same on my old computer also running windows 7 that had a socket 775 build.
I original bought 4x2g of these:[URL]- G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL6D-4GBNQ They are rated 6-6-6-18 with a Cas Latency of 6, also have a speed of DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)Now since I only need to replace 1 stick, I figured try to get the same exact stick, but it seems they dont sell the exact ones any more.So I was going to get this single 2g stick of G.Skill's: [URL]- G.SKILL 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5S-2GBPQBut it seems to be rated a bit slower?5-5-5-15, lower voltage, a Cas Latency of 5 & its speed is DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)Will this limit the computers ability to really perform at it's highest possible rate of 8g if the 4th stick is slower like that?
any computer running windows 7 but this new laptop i have (hp g6 core i5) seems to be continually corrupting memory cards out of my camera! when i first insert the memory card and view the pictures and go to change their orientation; windows comes up with a message saying it can't change it because the picture is no longer there! when you go back to view the folders on the card they appear as symbols as they have been corrupted! the first time it happened i downloaded (and purchased the key) for recovery which seems to do a good job of recovering the images. its really annoying me as to why it is happening! i'm now very careful and transfer images from the sd to the laptop straight away and safely remove the card afterwards. the laptop also corrupted a different memory card when the lid was shut and re-opened but im assuming this is because the computer was hibernating without the card being safely removed.has anybody else had this problem and if so how can it be sorted?
I recently update my vaio vgn-cr205e from win vista to win 7 ultimate 32 bits everything look great but suddenly when I try to use the webcam i got a message that is not conected and also I try to use my memoy cards sd and pro duo and also dont work I look everywhere trying to find the drivers but no
I have a Toshiba Satellite L655-1EM laptop running windows 7 home premium 64bit.OEM came pre-installed. I've had the laptop about 6 months.It works great but I seem to get the BSOD quite a lot. I noticed it only seems to happens when I'm using either of my external hard drives or SD cards. Usually when I am transferring a batch of large files between drives.
I've got a large program that I've installed on my wife's laptop, that I'd like to be available only when I log onto her computer. She currently is the only USER. I installed the program (it takes many discs to install, plus it has been customized post-installation) when logged in as her, and now I'd like to have my own account, and transfer that program to my account.
How do you reassign COM ports in Windows 7? I have several 30 x USB pic programmers and they are in the 70s, 80s and 90s and I know there is nothing else on the system. My programming software can cope with up to 33 x Com ports so I need to reassign to use ports in that range. how i get in and reassign them?
I have a Acer Aspire 5253 laptop which came with a 1 GHz AMD C-50 dual core processor with 2 GB of RAM and a 64 bit OS. It was using 100% CPU and 90%- 100% memory, so I removed the 2 GB of RAM and installed (2) 4GB RAM. Thing is it will still using 100% of the CPU and now only 23% of the memory. Is there something wrong here? 1-2 apps running (this number includes the anti-virus program) and one loading can stall or freeze the computer. Why so little memory usage? why doesn't the CPU allocate more memory to help itself with the load?
Programs mostly used: Google Chrome Windows Office iTunes Kaspersky Pure (anti virus program, always running) Pot Player (video player)
I recently upgraded my computer ( which is working fine ) and some of my old computer parts would now belong to my brother. When assembling my brothers computer I didn't remove the cpu or RAM once. The only things that were switched from my computer to his were graphics card, PSU, HDD and CD-DVD Driver.Now when starting my brothers computer, it will recognize the cpu and the amount of ram, but after that it stops. It still is answering because if I press DEL or f11, I will acess either bios or boot menu. After that it tells me that the HDD hasn't been recognized. Another weird thing is that it only shows the bios startup screen if the CD-DVD reader is connected, otherwise the computer will start but it will remain full black screen.
Motherboard that I using currently is ASUS P7H55-M LX.It basically has only 2 slot. Intially I bought a 2GB ram and wanted to increase it recently. Did not thought of wasting too much on ram since I have bought it only a year ago.Hence I bought a 4GB ram and placed it in.
Here comes the issue:
After placing it, my computer keep freezing.So my question is that is it alright to mix ram size in the same motherboard?
I have windows 7 64 home premium installed on the following computer:
Intel i5 2500K (3.30Ghz, 4core, 6MB cache) Asus P4H67 8 GB Ram 2TB Hard drive
and when running a specific application (that task manager says is only using about 500 MB), Windows gives me a Low Memory warning, even though taskman says there is about 4000MB free memory. Does anyone know what would be causing windows to think it has low memory when, in fact, it has more than half of its physical memory empty.More info? I have a 25GB Swap file configured and over 300GB free on my main hard drive. The app that is working when Windows complains is Sony Vegas 9, and the warning message shows up both in Vegas as well as explorer.I have tested the ram and it is all working, and I can fill it right up by starting a beefy instance of bukkit, so I know the meter successfully registers up to the full 8GB ram, but when the error happens, it's somewhere between 3 and 3.8 GB used.
i have a new samsung laptop running windows 7 64bit.when i first set it up the 1tb hard drive partitioned. that was ok, everything worked fine. a couple of days later i couldn't start windows, no idea why. as it was new and not a lot of files on it yet i reset it to when i first recieved it. now the hard drive shows 2 partitions ,one of 360gb and one of 54mb.
A week ago I had same problem 130 gig of hard drive memory and was vanishing throughout the day.it got down to 15 gig then I dont know what i did but it came back.Now yesterday same problem memory is vanishing and I went from 130 gig to 24 gig.
A couple months back, had issues with windows attributed to virus. I formatted C drive and did a clean install. Last week, windows was having issues with win explorer stopping , random crashes etc so i did another clean install Friday.Since then, I have had a few blue screens of death flash then the PC goes off.Is it possible there is something wrong with my hardware vs win 7? is there software that will check my C: drive (an SDD Drive) and memory for issues?
I bought a laptop few days ago ,OS windows 7and 320 GB hard drive,I am losing so much memory more than 35 GB so far without instaling any thing on it ,I just did the recovery disc thing when I started ,I'd love to know where did this memory go ?
My friend told me to fix his laptop and when he brought it to me i did a diagnostic test for the Hard Drive and Memory. The memory came out successful but the hard drive did not. I was wondering if I could replace the hard drive with my suggestion link below. My only concern is that will the HD will fit. He said, he would like a little speed boost if possible so I'll be giving him a 7200rpm HD.
i have like a thousand or close to thousand videos saved on my computer and they all 1 gb. one i get to 1000 of those videos, sayin they the same size, my hard drive will be full. is it like ipod memory, cause i like to fill up my computer with videos, movies?
how to download music from my computer to a memory card to put the music on my cell phone i need step by step instruction ..I have tried to do it alone but no luck?
it's been about a week now and my computer just freezes. and stays frozen. it happens most often when i leave a browser up and walk away from the computer. the only other thing i have noticed happening lately is that i have been getting warnings that my browser is using a lot of memory. it says this when i am running an app on facebook or when i have 2 or more tabs open like in Internet. i am not very familiar with the tools used with windows seven so i did not run high jack this. (i am using internet explorer 8)
My computer has started to act weird recently I don't know the cause and therefore ran the driver verifier to stress my drivers. Because its not hardware related have ran several tests of cpu, gpu and ram without any errors. But when I ran the driver verifier I actually got a bsod.
I have a problem in booting my computer. It is Windows 7 64 bit laptop, from Dell. I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my computer separately. When I try to boot my computer, it runs into a blue screen. The blue screen disappears very quickly and then the computer will restart again. I guess the last line of the blue screen is something like physical memory dump.
I tried to boot my computer in safe mode, but it stops at CLASSPNS.SYS. I have also tried to use the startup repair, but in vain. I can't do system recovery because it doesn't have a recovery point. I used the Dell diagnosis tool and ran some tests. It seems that the diagnosis tool can't detect my hard drive. But it is a little bit strange to me because I can access files in my Windows 7 using Ubuntu.
When i connect the first USB Stick (1 GB Kingston) everything it's ok, it shows up in Explorer, but when i try to connect the other one (i have two) it wont show up, but i can access it if i just type the drive letter in the address bar (J:).Also if i try to connect my phone as a USB device or any other memory stick, same problem...not showing up in Computer window.
my brother used a mac lap top and i think he formated it to beable to copy movies to my terabite. it now does not recognise it on computer ore dvd which it did before
I have Windows 7 Home Premium, 32bit laptop. So this started with my accidentally deleting the 'My Documents'. At the time of deleting, i think it showed, My Documents is too large for recycle bin. That's why i can't find it there. (I have tried 'Recuva' to recover deleted files, but 'cause i'm not much of a computer literate, i didn't know what files to retrieve and what to leave. Though, from the files i did bring back, most are corrupted, overwritten or something.) Also, after My Documents got deleted, under 'C:Users', a padlock has appeared on my '(User Name) Folder' - but 'Public Folder' is fine. As i clicked 'User Name' properties, the 'Share With' showed - 'Nobody'. {other options available were 'Homegroup(read), Homegroup (readwrite) and Specific People'}. Shouldn't it be showing - 'Advance sharing' ?Thus, i thought maybe restoring 'User Name' folder to its previous version would work. When i did that, it said - not enough memory. i tried again, 'cause i knew there was more than half of its total capacity available. {I regularly keep a check on it.} But after repeating the restoring process, i again got 'Not Enough Memory'. Later, when i opened the C:Drive it really showed that suddenly the drive was low on space- very, very low. i tried 'disk clean' and deleted most of the things from there. Then i opened C:Drive to check. Instead of making more space, i saw 3.62 GB of Free Space lessen to 2.72 G.B ! However, i still tried for the forth time to restore 'User Name' folder to previous version and got the same regretable 'Not Enough Memory'.
