Help? How do I access a Windows Drive Structure?

Hi:
I found a sample file system browser example but it didn't really work. It ran fine but coudn't see any drives, directories or files.
How can my Java app. learn what drives are on the client's computer?
Where do I start, to get a tree of all the drives, directories and files on a Windows computer?

Just a heads up, the getRoots() method works for all file structures if im not mistaken.
Heres a bit of code too for anyone else that may be interested that will list all the roots to your console:     
File [] theRoots = File.listRoots();
for(int i = 0; i < theRoots.length; i++)
System.out.println((i+1) + " -> " + theRoots.getPath());
Though late in the game, its my first post and I actaully knew the answer to something.
Ahwell...
Scott

  • How do I access external hard drive connected to AirPort Extreme via iPad

    Hello,
    How do I access external hard drive connected to AirPort Extreme via iPad / windows laptop.
    I donot have a Mac and I use windows laptop.

    For your iPad, you will need an app, like FileBrowser, to access the external drive.
    For your Windows laptop, you would access the drive like any other network share. The basic format is: \\<servername>\<sharename>, where, in this case, the servername is the base station name and the sharename is the name of the external drive.

  • How can I access the window so I can download to adobe and run the file rather than save it

    By mistake I put a check mark in the window box to save my downloads to documents. I want to send them directly to adobe so they can be seen. How do I access this window?

    hello, you can change that setting in firefox/tools > options > applications - there you can define the default action for the file-type in question (that will probably be '''portable document format (pdf)''' in your case).
    [[View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them]]

  • I have a MacPro with two 1T hard drives. How do I access the hard drive that is not the start-up drive?

    I purchased a MacPro and upgraded to 2 1T hard drives.  How do I access the hard drive that is not the start-up drive?

    Have you formatted these new drives yet with Disk Utility?  That is the first step.
    Once they are formatted, if you want to see them on your desktop open the Finder preferences, General, and clock the checkbox that says "Show these items on the desktop" for the hard disks.  If that preference was already set you should see the drives appear after they are formatted.  Then they are there for you to use as you wish.

    Help with Adobe.premiere.elements12. Please
    It would appear under the organizer tab that the photos are organised in the lowest folder in the folder structure within Windows Explorer.  How can I use the Windows Explorer structure to organise the photos within Elements.

    In a situation such as yours, I tend to consolidate items into folders so I have folders of nice workable numbers of images, somewhere between 20 and 200 images. Now, whatever, once you've imported, do your moving within LR, not the OS! I will select all in a folder and drag into a folder a level or two or three above, and then delete the newly empty subfolders. I hope this helps a bit!
    Once you've reached just new Imports of camera output, you'll be flying along.

  • How can I access a thumb drive plugged into an airport with my iPad?

    how can I access a thumb drive plugged into an airport with my iPad? I am trying to set up an information point to serve weekly info over a NOT connected to the internet airport.

    You can't. There are a couple of devices such as AirStash and the GoFlex drive that you can access over WiFi. They are limited, as I understand it, though.

  • How can I access a shared drive in window?

    Hi
    I have connected a 320GB hard drive to my Airport Extreme and it is all great. I can access it from my MacBook Air but when going onto Windows I cannot see it? I have tried the 'Map Network Drive' about 50 times and it never works! When looking on Airport Utility (on Windows) and I see it. I've looked at other discussions but they keep on going on about AEPS and such that I have no idea about! Could someone give me a step by step instructions on how to access my shared drive?
    Thanks

  • URGENT HELP: How to reformat an external hard drive?!

    We purchased a Desk Hammer external hard drive with USB. My hubby plugged it into his Mac G4/OS 8.6 and when it was recognized, he selected to format it for Mac only. We needed it to be ISO Whatever so I can use it on my Windows systems too. The Desk Hammer people are no help with how to get access to this thing and reformat it (in fact, WARNING they say they do not even support Mac usage for these drives!). What can I do to reformat it to work on the Windows side? thanks for any help....
    Mac G4   Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier   Mac OS is 8.6

    Windows machines support Windows formats some of the time.
    The Mac formats and supports many common formats, and is nice about it.
    You use the exact same utility you used to format it for the Mac, only you select MS-DOS as the type. If the drive is of a modest size, that is all you need to do.
    The Mac will also happily read and write files on it, even though it is an MS-DOS drive. It may not properly show their Icons (everything may be generic MS-DOS documents) until the files are copied to a Mac drive.
    A very large drive will need a third-party utility to format all the space on it into Windows format.
    ISO-whatever and High Sierra and a few others are CD-only formats, you will not be able to format a Hard drive to that format.

  • How do i access my hard drive?

    My flash storage drive is full and I have a vacant 2TB SATA disk, but how do I access it?  In Windows PC it was easy to access drives under "My computer," where is the analagous feature on the mac? THANK YOU!

    You should reformat the 2TB drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) if it's not already, use a program such as the Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper to clone your existing system to it, confirm that it works, and make a copy on a second drive before deleting the files from the original one.

  • How can i access the hard drive in a satellite A30?

    I have just bought a new hard drive and have been startled by the lack of information on the internet with help to access the hard drive. Please help. I have the satellite a30-203. Thanks, Daniel Short

    Hi daniel,
    turn your A30 upside down. Then you need to remove one screw in order to remove your optical drive. After this you will see the HDD. Remove 4 screws that secure your HDD from the computer. Then pull back the hdd using the back brackets in the same way like you pull out your optical device.
    Hope this will help.

  • How do I access my hard drive connected to airport extreme?

    I've already imported video to my hard drive. I had it previously connected via firewire. It's there in an imovie 08. However, when I open up imovie in the "Event Library" panel, my hard drive has a yellow triangle with an exclamation point on it. Does anyone know how I can access this?
    Do I have to choose "import" first and then copy the movie back into imovie? I think this would defeat the purpose of storing the footage on the external drive, right? I'm trying to make my first movie, so please be gentle if this is an easy question to answer. It's throwing me for a loop right now.
    Thanks again!

    sorry, the hard drive is connected via USB to my airport extreme. Here's how i can look at the files:
    Macintosh HD, under "shared" i select my hard drive, open it and then click on imovie events, then i can access the 19 different folders which contain multiple clips in each folder, along with an imovie thumbs file etc.
    However, in imovie when create a new project, then click on import, it will ask me where i want to save the files, and on the drop down arrow, the only choice is my macintosh HD and I can't choose anything else. I really don't want to save them to my computer's hard drive if i don't have to. It seems there should be an easier way to do this, but i'm overlooking something. I just want to be able to make a movie with the clips that are already saved on my hard drive which is connected via airport extreme. Thanks again!
