I wish to rename my drive letter & not create problems

I had an SSD installed on my PC.  The SSD is 'C' & kept for programs only. The other drive  letters I have currently got displayed don't make much sense.I started with CD burner & Blu-ray burner & got them away from my own files by changing the drive letters to Y & Z.   A USB drive which is red in color is not R drive.
I want to give the drive that has all of my music files & its catalog data another letter.  I want to do this without having problem with file associations etc.  How is this done without creating problems?  My photos are also on this drive but I know that I can just direct that program to its catalog location.
Since an SSD is fast enough it apparently doesn't need to be indexed.  What I have done is plugged a couple of my external drives into the PC & had Windows index every drive except 'C'.  I don't know is indexing will automatically updated the index to reflect the new drive letter for my music files but it It doesn't I'll ask for it to be done again.
Thanks in advance

Just before I did this I when I opened iTunes I got the message that said that I must have changed by burner or something to the effect & that I had to re install the program.
I held of doing this because I wanted to change the drive letter first.  This I did & that appears to have worked.
I hadn't made any changes to DVD burning software.  I did see that there was a new 64 bit version available so I downloaded & installed it.
The next time I opened the program I got the same message that I needed to re install the program.  When I went to tell it where the library.itl I must have directed it to the wrong library as it asked me again about my account details & wanted my credit cards details.  Only after I give this information did I find that the library that I had nominated was in fact the account for my wife's iPad.
So now I have 2 major problems firstly I'm linked to my wife's account where it displays the few things she purchased.  My library was make up 100% from all of my old CD's that I had ripped. nothing else.  How do I connect to the other library.itl file?
The second problem is that even though I downloaded & & installed a new version of iTunes I'm getting the message that I need to reinstall because my burning software has changed & it hasn't.  How do I get past these problems?
Thanks in advance

  • My home page opens fine but sub pages attempt to load from the local drive. Not a problem with IE.

    Some time ago, while doing a bunch of things at once, FF asked me a question...not sure what it was as I was distracted by other things...I answered "yes" and since then my own website's subpages attempt to load from my C drive. This is not a problem with the homepage itself and it does not occur with other browsers. Driving me crazy and no one seems to know what is the problem...only with FireFox

    http://www.questfundingservices.us is the home page which opens fine on any browser. But, in FF, any of my sub-pages attempts to open from the local drive. I believe this happens for other viewers of the site, but I am not 100% sure of that.
    I never intentionally entered a <BASE local in the html and I don't think there is one, but you can check the source yourself.
    This was never a problem until one day, while doing 50 things at once, I went to my website and FF popped up a question...Don't remember what it was and, in my haste I just said "yes", I think...and this problem has occurred ever since!!!

  • SQL Server Driver Class not found problem

    Hi,
    I've read several replies to similar topics but almost all the answers are: set your classpath because JVM can't find your .jar files containing those classes.
    I'm using Windows 2000 Pro and J2SDK1.4.1_01
    Ok, the problem is that I've set my CLASSPATH under environment variables (Windows 2000) as:
    .;C:\<INSTALLATION_PATH>\lib\msbase.jar;C:\<INSTALLATION_PATH>\lib\msutil.jar;C:\<INSTALLATION_PATH>\lib\mssqlserver.jar
    where INSTALLATION_PATH = Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 JDBC Drivers ... or the like.
    I've set this CLASSPATH under System variables and under User variables and still can't find the class I need.
    Is there any problem with CLASSPATH or Win2k or J2SDK1.4.1_01 ??
    Thanks in advance.

    I had to tar xf my .jar drivers into my project directory to work.
    now I have:
    C:\path\classes\*.class
    C:\path\classes\com\microsoft\jdbc... etc
    at least I got it to work.

  • Accountind document not created problem

    hi guys
    one of invoices generated does not generate accounting document. It gives the following error messsage:
    Error in account determination: table T030K key ICI ZB Y0
    Message no. FF 709
    Diagnosis
    In the chart of accounts to be posted to, no accounts are defined for the tax code you used.
    Procedure
    Contact your system administrator.
    Define the accounts to which a tax posting is to be made with the tax code entered in Customizing for taxes on sales/purchases.
    To do this, choose Maintain entries (F5).
    ANY IDEAS WHAT THIS IS??
    To make life easier, the customer is tax exempt and is unsecured.
    Urgent response would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    If the customer is tax exempt, the tax component should not be picked up in the order or billing doc in the first place.
    Pl ensure the following :
    1) Your customer has the Tax classification as "exempted".
    2) In VK13 ( condition - UTXJ) ensure that there is no tax code mapped to the customer classification "exempted" .
    If the above two are in order, you should try creating a fresh order, carry out entire sale process and then invoice. 
    Pl let me know if this works.
    Thanks ..Vasavi

  • Creating a symlink directory on a network share to a path below a mapped drive letter, local path, or UNC path does not work

    Am I correct in assuming I can not create a `symlinkd` to a network share, local path, or a UNC path on a network share that will be accessible by clients?
    ###Mapped drive letters don't work:
    1) navigate to a network share:
    pushd \\windows2008server\share\
    2) make a hardlink:
    mklink /d test_sharedir t:\directory\
    dir .\test_sharedir
    #Directory of Z:\test_sharedir
    #File Not Found
    UNC paths don't work:
    1) navigate to a network share:
    pushd \\windows2008server\share\
    2) make a symlink:
    mklink /d test_dirunc \\windows2008server\share
    dir .\test_dirunc
    #Directory of Z:\test_dirunc
    #File Not Found
    I can create a functional `symlinkd` on a local drive to a mapped drive letter or a UNC path.
    Are my assumptions above correct?
    We are in the middle of a migration and have created two symlinkd to UNC paths for shared DLLs, one below c:\windows\system32\ (directing to a share containing 64-bit DLLs) and one below c:\windows\syswow64 (directing to a share containing 32-bit DLLs).
    On the file server, we have had a path to 32-bit DLLs (from Windows 7 clients: s:\dll\).  I am attempting to rename this directory so that it is accessible via "s:\dll32\" and would like to create a symlinkd that links "s:\dll" to
    "s:\dll32" [again where S: is a mapped drive on a Windows 2008 server].  How do I do this?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hello Mandy,
    The link you sent me is for Netapp CIFS server daemon contained within DataOnTap (the Netapp OS) to follow symlinks.  I am inquiring about the Microsoft products Windows Server and Windows 7.
    To gain a better understanding of the Microsoft Windows Server and client (Windows) CIFS stacks and interaction of the stacks, I have referred to Figure 6 "Server Message Block Server Model" within the following (albeit older) document: http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/8/0/2800a518-7ac6-4aac-bd85-74d2c52e1ec6/tuning.doc
    You will see the following:
    I assume that the Windows Server CIFS server service must be "smart enough" to determine that a CIFS client is attempting access to a SYMLINKD and actually fill the request by following the SYMLINKD.  The CIFS server service does not appear
    to operate like this.
    1) Am I correct in my assumption that the CIFS client (redirector) and the CIFS server (server) do not following symbolic links (whether they be file or directory)?
    2) If not, how do I submit a feature request for this so that it can be reviewed and approved or not approved for inclusion/hotfix release?
    Thanks for your time,
    Matt Brown
    [UPDATE]
    Note that you can use a `directory junction` instead of using a SYMLINKD, to link to LOCAL resources (source). However, `directory junctions` do not allow access to resources over UNC.

  • [SOLVED] Toshiba 3.0 USB 2TB (HDTC720XK​3C1) Assigned Drive Letter But Not Working

    My external HD has 750gb of data that I cant access.  It shows up with a hard drive letter, but doesnt show like it used to (showing how much storage is used and unused) or showing it's assigned name.  It also doesnt work if I plug it into a different computer (does the same thing).  I cant remember if I properly removed it when I unplugged it last night when I finished using it, so that may be the cause.  I tried going to "manage drives" and uninstalling the drivers, but no luck.  Tried rebooting with it connected, no luck.  Tried unplugging for several hours and plugging back in, no luck.  I do not wish to reformat the drive because of the 750GB of data I'll lose.  Please help!  

    *****I FIXED IT!!!!!*******   I continued searching the web and found the fix.  All I needed to do was open the command prompt (cmd) and run this script "chkdsk /f E: (E: was the generic drive letter assigned).  Basically windows runs check disk and fixes the problem.  It also said you could try "chkdsk /r E:" but it worked on my first attempt.  Make sure you allow the computer enough time to finish.... It took a long time for it to completely finish.  (one way to know if it's done, you will be able to type in the cmd prompt again, if not, your computer is still working in the back ground)  After it was done, I ran my windows defender to check my removable drive for virus's and sure enough it found 3 threats.
    I HOPE THIS HELPS ANYONE ELSE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM as it seems like a relatively easy fix, but over 80 people had read my plee for help with no response.

  • Script to connect and rename a drive works on Windows 8.1 but not Windows 7

    I have a script to map a drive to a WebDAV share and the staff wanted it so the Drive shows up as Onedrive and not \\http......etc So I added entries to the script
    to rename the drive to that. It seems to run and work perfectly on Windows 8.1 but on Win 7 it maps the drive but the rename part doesn't work. Even running the rename section manually in a separate script on Windows 7 does nothing. Is there a different rename

  • TS1493 When I go to change the drive letter, I go through the entire process and when I click on disk management, my ipod is not listed. On my computer it is still listed as a digital camera

    I have searched online and tried all the possibilities to fix the issues I am having but have sadly been unsuccessful. My ipod is being read as a digital camera, it is not reading on my itunes therefore I cannot sync any music or apps I have purchased. The only solution I couldn't try was to change my drive letter. Main reason being, my device did not show up under the disk management page.

    If you have pictures (on your iPod) in the Camera Roll, that may be why the iPod is showing up as a camera. The Camera Roll is where pictures taken on the iPod, screenshots taken on the iPod and pictures saved from Safari are stored.
    Copy the pictures from the Camera Roll and put them onto yuor computer. Once you have done that, you can delete the pictures from the Camera Roll and perhaps the iPod will stop showing up as a camera.
    The iPod Touch does not have an accessible hard drive, so it will not show up under disk management.

  • Windows 8 does not remember secondary SATA hard drive letter

    So, I bought an HP Pavilion with a 1TB HDD with Windows 8 installed. I burned the recovery disks, wiped the 1TB (Seagate) drive and installed a 250GB (WD) drive. I installed the WD as the primary boot and OS, and formatted the Seagate as a basic drive for
    storage. I reinstalled from the recovery disks, and the OS went exactly where I wanted it to, but the Seagate doesn't list in the My Computer display. It does appear in the BIOS, and it does appear in Disk Management.
    I searched the internet and found the tips about using Disk Management to assign a drive letter to the second drive. SUCCESS! Or so I thought. I can see the second disk in disk management, and can successfully assign a drive letter so that the drive appears
    in My Computer; but after any/every reboot, I have to go through the same process over and over and over again. Windows 8 is not "remembering" the drive letter settings for this particular drive.
    It doesn't seem like a big deal, but this drive is intended as a shared drive for the "Homegroup" so that everybody can use it as storage. Not everybody in the small office is familiar or comfortable with going through this, so I need the system
    to "remember" the disk settings all of the time.
    The 1TB Seagate has the following properties:
    Disk type - Basic
    Partition style - MBR
    File system - NTFS
    Does anyone have any ideas? Suggestions?
    Thank you!

    Hi alcisco70,
    The drive letter miss after restarting the computer, right?
    I would like to suggest you update its driver firstly, and then do the following:
    open a command prompt with administrator privileges, then type:
    Diskpart
    List disk (you will get detail disk info, if you only have one disk, it will show disk 0)
    Select disk 0
    List volume (you will get detail volume info)
    Select volume # (change # to corresponding number)
    then enter:
    attributes volume clear hidden
    After that, restart the computer and reassign the drive letter to that volume. And navigate to the path below:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\VolumeInfoCache
    Which lists all the current drive info.  check if there is any conflict.

  • External Disk Not Readable by OSX after Setting Drive Letter in Windows 7

    My external hard drive, which was previously formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), contains all of my purchased music. I have this external drive connected directly to my iMac via USB. My iTunes in OS X points to this drive.
    After installing Boot Camp, I was able to read this external hard drive in Windows 7, but I changed the drive letter used in Windows 7 from E: to G:. Bad idea, apparently...
    Now when I boot into OS X, I can no longer read the drive (although I can read it in Windows 7 just fine). I get the error message:
    "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." [Initialize] [Ignore] [Eject]
    When I use Disk Utility to attempt to Repair Disk, I get the following error:
    "2010-11-24 08:43:41 -0800: Verify and Repair volume “disk2s2”
    2010-11-24 08:43:41 -0800: Starting repair tool:

    I've searched for this issue in these forums and on the web and have not yet found a solution.
    Is there any way to repair this external drive so that I can again read/write to it in OS X (WITHOUT losing my music)?
    Thanks!

    I had this exact problem. I bought a 1 TB My Book, formatted it with Disk Utility, and completed a successful backup. I also had some home videos on it and was using about 40% of the drive. One day, about a week later, I had the same "disk unreadable" message and soon panicked. Tried everything, but finally spent $100 for Disk Warrior and I was able to get my videos off, but it wasn't able to fix my drive, DW said I didn't have enough memory.
    I reformatted and put my videos back on, but now will use a different drive for backups, so if it fails again I only lose my backups.

  • My CD/DVD drive will not let me put in CDs period, and there is no CD currently in the slot. How do I fix this?

    When I try to burn CDs or insert CDs into my iMac, the slot/drive will not let me enter a CD. Just yesterday it was working, now it isn't. I have tried restarting the computer, turning it off, waiting a while, holding down the eject, etc. There is no CD currently in the drive either.

    This fixed my issue, which sounds just like yours:
    http://www.powermax.com/askjacob/2012/02/optical-drive-in-imac-not-accepting-cdd vd/
    Basically:
    1) Shut down
    2) Wait until iMac has completely powered off
    3) Hold down mouse button
    4) Power on iMac and continue to hold down mouse button
    5) Listen for sound of drive cycling itself (makes the sound of ejecting a disk)
    6) Let mouse button go
    7) Log in as normal
    Good luck!

  • HT1368 why is the "buy all" no longer visible on my wish list? and it is not letting me delete items.?

    why is the "buy all" no longer visible on my wish list? and it is not letting me delete items.?

    The 'buy all' has, for some reason, been removed from the current version of iTunes - you can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe it'll be added back in a future update :http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html . Until then you can only buy items individually.
    In terms of the 'x' for deleting items from it, other people have posted about that and it's affecting me as well. I assume that there is a bug with the current version of iTunes and/or a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix.

  • Folders not available on removeable media when assigned a different drive letter

    I have LR 5.2 and I move files off onto a removable drive as a back-up and it allows me to share the pictures with them when they sometimes lose them.  Windows 7 routinely assigns the drive to the letter M:, N:, and sometime P: and apparently I cannot see the folders unless the drive is assigned the same letter as it was when I imported the pictures into the catalog.  The folders don’t even show up in the library, but if I do an import all of the folders appear as valid destinations within LR. How can I fix this?  The first picture is a screen shot of the library; notice that the year 2013 is missing.  The second screen shot is what appears when I go to import; note that 2013 appears.  The folders simply do not appear in LR except when I attempt import.
    When I look at N: in my “working catalog” it shows it as having catalog “AUMC” but the folders in it belong to the part of my working catalog that I have moved to a different external drive since they’re old picture I don’t use much.  They all have question marks, but they are resolved with I attach the external drive with those folders on it.

    I do not have access to Windows 7 right now, just windows 8.  I am certain that Windows 7 has the same functionality, but my directions to get there may be off a bit as it may have changed.
    1) Connect your external drive to your computer, and check what letter Windows gave it.
    2) Go To Start->Run and enter 'diskmgmt.msc' (without the quotes)
    3) A new window will come up.  Maximise it, so you can see it all.
    4) Torwards the bottom, you will a white box with the drive letter of your external disk in it.
    5) Right click on this white box and select 'Change Drive Letter and Paths' (This may be slightly different in Windows 7).
    6) If the 'Change' option is available then click on that, otherwise select 'add'
    7) I suggest here you select a letter near the end of the alphabet to minimise the chances of another drive using it.
    8) Windows should now try to use this letter each time it mounts the drive.
    If windows continues to change the drive letter, then make sure that you 'eject' the drive properly each time because if you do not, windows may think that the drive letter is still in use.
    Alternatively, in step 6 above, select 'add' and in there, you can give windows a path on your C drive to mount the disk to (make sure that the directory you select is totally empty).  Then the whenever you connect your external hard disk to your computer, the contents will be available there.  If you go this route though, make sure that you only wite to this directory when your external hard disk is connected.

  • Windows suddenly not recognizing iPod Shuffle - drive letter conflict

    If you're having troubles with your PC not recognizing your Shuffle even though it used to recognize it in the past, this is just something else to consider (sorry if it's already been covered):
    When I originally connected my Shuffle to my laptop on my home network, it was recognized immediately, and my WinXP OS assigned it the drive letter "I". Later, with the Shuffle no longer connected to the laptop, I was setting up my home network, and I mapped one of my shared network locations to the "I" drive letter on my laptop. The next time I plugged my Shuffle in, Windows would not recognize it. I proceeded to plug it into both of the other computers on my home network, and it was recognized immediately on both of them. So I then went back to the original laptop, disconnected the network drive mapping I had set up for "I". Once I did that, when I plugged my Shuffle back in, the Shuffle was again being recognized immediately (not surprisingly, still as drive letter "I"). In short, Windows has a memory of drive mappings made in the past, and sometimes this can produce unexpected or unwanted behavior (I would have expected my Shuffle to automatically be assigned the next open drive letter, but alas, that was not the case in my experience).
    To minimize the possibility of running into this problem again (in case I do more network drive mapping in the future), I used the Disk Management utility in WinXP to change/force the Shuffle's drive letter on my laptop to be "Z" (right click on My Computer and choose Manage, then look for the Disk Management module - you probably will need Admin rights to do this, but I haven't confirmed that).
    PC   Windows XP Pro  

    Had this happening too, had a very old cable, tried a new cable and it worked great. My ipod was showing up in itunes, but not in windows (or in device manager). When I tried to use the utility to copy files from my ipod to my hard drive I couldn't do it (wonderful utility getsharepod.com). The new cable solved the problem!
