Accessing network disks in windows XP (I tried everything!)

I am running Sun One web server 6.0 SP5. I have been running it for a while under Linux, but want to run it under Windows XP now. The data (webapps, docroot) are still on the Linux box, which is mounted as a network drive on the PC. The problem is the server (service function) cannot see network drives.
I have changed the default user (login) of the service to my own windowsXP account, but that did not help. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the suggestion.
I skipped testing the "samba" mount for fear that the password or userid requirements would cause a problem. I set up a straight "windows share" that has broad permissions. I put a simple HTML file in this share, and try to call it up as the docroot. The share automounts under Windows XP administrator account, and under the account I usually use; neither seem to make a difference. I have run the service as both administrator and the local user (as well as the default "localsystem).
I hope someone has gotten this to work....I am about at my patience limit with Windows.

To back up your data, either use Target Disk Mode and a cable from another Mac (which mounts your problem Mac as an external disk of the other Mac) and Disk Utility on that other Mac, or — and this is all assuming you either have a slow Internet connection and don't want to use Internet Recovery, or if you have an older Mac that doesn't support Internet Recovery — you can create a bootable USB key disk on another Mac and then boot your problematic Mac from that keydisk, then use Disk Utility from the installer to make a backup to another (external) (scratch) disk. You can also use that keydisk to reinstall OS X, to repair or to reinstall OS X.

Accessing Airport Disk from Windows XP

I have a new Airport Extreme with an attached USB disk. I am able to access the disk from my MAC, but when trying to access it from my windows computer I get Unknown user, incorrect password or login is disabled (error 1203). I have tried configuring the disk access with base station password, disk password and user accounts. Have also tried guest login.
I have 2 XP machines. On one I see the airport disk, on the other I don't. On neither can I access the files. The one that totally does not work has no firewall installed. T
The application I am using is Airport base station agent on the PC. The airport utility on both PC works fine. Running 7.2.1 firmware on the base station
Help apprecited.

An update (and maybe some help to someone with a similar problem). I still can't get the airport base station agent to work, but I have succeeded in mounting the disk manually. Had some problem with the syntax, but it is \\172.16.1.1\diskname where 172.16.1.1 is the address of the airport base station and the discname is what it says it is. Don't try to add the name of the base unit into the path. I set it up with disc password (don't know if his makes a difference). And obviously if you have the airport in bridged mode, this will not help, since the unit will not have an IP address

Time machine unable to access network disk

I have a USB disk attached to my Airport Extreme, and use it as the target of my time machine backups from my mac book pro (connected via WiFi). For the most part things work fine. But if my macbook goes to sleep, after it wakes up it often (not always) gets the next time machine backup to fail with a message saying that it cannot access the disk. At first I found a brutal method of correcting it: I would disconnect from WiFi, go to my AE and power cycle it. After it came back the macbook never had any problem with the disk. A little more exploration indicated that Lion wasn't unmounting the disk properly. The following works (but sometimes requires a few iterations): I'll go to finder, eject the disk, and disconnect from Airport Extreme, and then go to the terminal and do
sudo diskutil unmountdisk disk1
(I first do a diskutil list to find out the right disk)
and then ask time machine to backup again. Many times I have to repeat this a few more times before it "takes". Has anyone else run into this? It clearly looks like a bug in Lion, since it never happened until I upgraded.
Victor
PS. I understand that Apple says that they don't support time machine backup to network disks. But they do to a time capsule! It isn't really different.

I'm replying because, while I don't have a solution for you, I was experiencing the same issue at home not long ago. My solution has been to backup at the office (), but I'm about to switch back to running Time Machine at home. I think we'll be going through this together.
The difference in my situation is that my backup volume lives in a PowerMac G5, but I'm sure it's the same error.

New SSD in T430, Windows not loading, tried everything...

Hi there,
I bought a T430 about a week ago. I'm not completely inept with computers: I successfully added another 4GB of RAM with no problems.
Then I wanted to replace my HDD with my SSD. I know the SSD works because it was in another laptop. I put it in an external dock; hooked it up to my T430; cleared it. I have kept the HDD as a safe backup, which I have used repeatedly since. I also made a Windows recovery disc on a CD.
I cloned the HDD onto my SSD using EaseUS software and told it to make it bootable. It didn't for me, so I blamed the software.
I then used Acronis True Image to make a bootable copy of my setup on a USB drive. I turned the computer on with just the (blank) SSD and tried to load the USB. The computer refuses to recognize the bootable copy point blank. Just brings me back to a screen asking me which drive I want to boot from repeatedly.
Alright then, I said, clone the HDD onto the SSD and then try the USB bootable. Did that, but it made no impact. Same problem as above.
Okay, let's try a fresh install on the SSD by using the recovery disc. This is when the real fun happens. I get to the Lenovo-themed System Recovery menu, and I click Next. Then I get an alert box saying "This version of System Recovery Options is not compatible with the version of Windows you are trying to repair. Try using a recovery disc that is compatible with this version of Windows." What? I only made it this morning. I don't think there has been any major updates to Windows since then! (Just in case, I made an even newer recovery disc tonight. I got the same error.)
I then cleared the SSD and tried the recovery disc on the clean SSD. Same error again. The recovery discs aren't working, the system is not recognizing the USB copy, and the cloned (and supposedly boot-ready) SSD won't boot.
What's going on? All I am trying to do is replace my HDD with my SSD, and run Windows 7. I didn't think it would be this hard
Some extra points:
- I am inserting the drives. The computer can read that it's a Samsung 840 series SSD.
- There is no problem with the USB. My desktop can read it just fine, and sees that there is 29GB of stuff there.
- I have changed the boot order in the BIOS to load the USB (or CD) drive first.
- I have disabled the secure startup option in the BIOS.
- I have tried Legacy, UEFI, mixture of both, etc etc.
- Yes, it's a legit copy of Windows. It came with the computer a week ago. There is [i]maybe[/i] an issue that I'm looking to reinstall Windows 7 onto the SSD, but the only recovery discs that come with the computer are Windows 8... but then how do I get Win 7 onto my SSD?
- I have searched the forums. None of the suggested solutions (mostly listed above) have worked.
Any help would be much appreciated, folks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had one extra hiccup. The Windows 7 disc could not locate the activation/product key on the BIOS. Neither could any of the semi-questionable programs that I downloaded. So I could not authorize Windows 7.
I called Lenovo. They said it was my fault for using Windows recovery discs instead of Lenovo recovery discs. (Heaven forbid! It really should not matter. It is a terrible approach on the part of Lenovo that their initial recovery discs gave me an error about licensing, but yet they seemingly don't support the stock Windows recovery discs.) Anyway, after I told the agent - in my polite way - that this was a ridiculous scenario, she offered to send me out Lenovo recovery discs.
I accepted. They arrived today. I reinstalled Windows, and now everything is running just fine.
In case anyone in the future reads this thread: ask Lenovo to send you out Win 7 Pro recovery discs, and use them after you install the SSD. It makes the process much easier.

Can't access Network share from Windows 8 computer

I have a clean install of Windows 8 x64 running in a workgroup environment. I can access multiple computer/NAS shares except one share off a partifular NAS. This share is accessible from other computers and the other shares on the NAS are accessible from
this Windows 8 computer. I have cheked the credentials and they are fine, added them under the credential manager, tried to map a drive and selected use other credentials etc but it continually says "Windows cannot access \\ComputerName\ShareName"
you do not have permission. I have permission and nothing is wrong with the permissions or the server. This is driving me crazy if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried:
1. Mapping drive with ip address e.g. \\ip address\sharename
2. disabled ipv6, made sure netbios enabled, made sure client for ms networks enabled.
3. Setup a new account on server, doesn't work either.
4. All sharing options enabled. I even modified the permissions on the share for "everyone" full access and it still didn't work.
Has to be something with this windows 8 machine.

Dear all,
Hi am using 2012 r2 server and i have created share folder ,and added the user Id in that share folder but while accessing in windows pc (local admin) its opning all share folder , but its not asking password if i click in share folder it shows you do not have
permission to access . but till lastweek it was worked fine . and if i tried in administrator login its asking password authentication. Please help me ASAp.
Thanks

Frozen on "setup is starting windows" blue screen tried everything...

Hi, I have tried the bootcamp section but no reply so far. My situation is this - I have an intel imac running 10.4.9, boot camp/XP SP2... everything was running fine. I went away for a week... to my knowledge no one used my computer. I came back and ran os x, everything was fine... I rebooted into windows, black screen, no sign of windows at all... only the standard detection of hardware etc as usual but no windows. Rebooted, same again. Repeat 10 times, same every time. Tried safe mode, everything... never got any further. Booted into os x, fine... tried again in windows... nothing. Decided to format, removed the windows partition, started boot camp process from scratch... got up to the "setup is starting windows" part (after all files have been loaded from the xp cd to prepare for setup) - froze. Rebooted, tried again - froze at same point. Left it for an hour... no change. Have tried formatting completely, zeroing over entire HD, burned multiple fresh copies of windows... re-slipstreamed... never gets any further. Hardware testing using os x cd comes up clean...i have latest firmware... latest security upgrade from apple...tried with all peripherals unplugged... same same same.
At this point I'm thinking something to do with firmware maybe...since that is the only thing I have been unable to change. Im stumped. Have looked all over the discussion pages and none of the solutions people have been given have worked for me.
Any help would be so very much appreciated.
Thanks
Intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

SOLVED
Well, I'd like to thank all of you for your input. After much prayer and extensive search, I was finally able to install Windows XP SP3 on the new iMac. I kept the 32GB partition created by Boot Camp 2.0, but I did 2 things differently when trying to do it this time. The apple keyboard (since it is so short, really Apple, you had a usable length with the Pro models 10 years ago) was connected to a 6 foot USB extension cable to reach the back of the monitor. This is because the iMac is on a computer desk with a pull-out desk to place the keyboard and mouse. But I disconnected the extension, and plugged it direct this time. I didn't leave the Windows XP SP3 disc in this time, I just restarted, and while it restarted I pressed and held the OPTION key. An icon of just the "Macintosh HD" came up on the screen, at which time I inserted the Windows CD, a few seconds later, an icon for the CD appeared to the right of the Mac HD icon. I selected the CD, and again it went through loading drivers getting ready for windows setup, same as before. I cried out to the Lord, and YESSSSSSSSS, it finally asked me if I wanted to format a windows partition! Needless to say, it went through the entire process fine.
I didn't need to update to Boot Camp 2.1, sp3 is working fine. Installed and ran a few programs, connected to the internet, and so forth. Although I left the network connection to the internet disabled, don't want to use the Windows side for the net, too many virus problems possible.
I shut down the computer, re-connected the USB extension cable, and when I went into the Windows side, guess what? The mouse and keyboard locked up completely. I connected the apple keyboard direct again, and then I had control again. Using the USB extension cable on the Windows side is the only problem, because the Mac side works fine with it. This will be a new post because I really need the extra length because of the distance. But thanks to all.

athlon 2200/gigabyte mobo/1gb men Windows XP Apple docking station with IR for ipod

Thanks! But I actually figured it out! Right after I said something about the driver, I went into device mangager. Sure enough even though it did not show up as a drive letter the device manager said is was installed and working.
So I deleted the device out of device manager. Restarted and plugged it in. Although I go some weird error. It found the IPOD and now Itunes sees it.
I believe that killing the process would have done the same thing as you stated.
Thanks to all for taking the time to answer these issues. It beats the apple store or tech support.

Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

"Restoring the window layout" hang - tried everything! HELP!

I'm in Mavericks and am experiencing that "Restoring the Window Layout" hang that is kinda infamous around these parts.
Except that in my case, I've done EVERYTHING that all the other links suggest. I have:
*Trashed the Layouts folder (inside Users/myusername/Library/App Support/Final Cut Pro)
*Trashed prefs (inside Users/myusername/Library/Preferences)
*Followed the instructions to remove FCPX entirely (as found here: Final Cut Pro X 10.1: How to remove and reinstall Final Cut Pro X) *and* repeated the removal of Layouts and prefs as stated above.
And the problem still persists.
I am [attempting to run] the latest version (10.1.2). Purchased through the App Store so it is verified as the latest.
I can in no way get FCPX to launch properly. Every time I try, it hangs during the launch on the "Restoring the Window Layout" launch screen. I do see my last-used project partially drawn behind it, but the window is all funky (things are in weird places).
Please help...kinda desperate here...

Thank you so much.
I am certain I had trashed all the prefs mentioned in the other threads (there were about 3, in the Users/Prefs folder), but I tried your key command, got the prompt to completely trash all prefs, and it did indeed cure the issue. Thanks a ton!

Apple Device Drivers Missing on Windows - I've Tried Everything

To sum it all up:
My laptop will not recognize my ipod/itouch through usb cables therefore I cannot connect with Itunes or charge my devices through usb.
My ipod/itouch does not show up under devices, not even under "hidden device" options.
Apple Mobile Device Drivers is no where to be found on my laptop. It's not under device manager, it's not under USB drivers or any other option listed in device manager.
I've tried re-installing Itunes and all Apple programs over 5 times now.
I do not think it is my laptops usb ports as they work for other devices that use a usb connection such as my printer.
I've tried connecting other Apple devices through usb and they do not work on my laptop.
This is driving me INSANE. If anyone has any solutions that would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi
so windows requires the apple mobile drivers in order for your device to be recognised by the computer and iTunes
if you have remove iTunes from your pc but not followed Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support, if you remove iTunes in the incorrect order , then when you go to reinstall iTunes will not install in the correct order,
if you follow the above link exactly as stated and once removed, go to reinstall iTunes with your iOS device connected to pc , this will insure that the correct drivers are installed, once iTunes has downloaded and launched , disconnect phone , unlock screen, reconnect and allow access
