Unable to Rename Partitioned Drives

Hello,
We have a Power Mac partitioned into 15 drives for use by our students. A few days ago the drives randomly started demanding an administrative password to change the name of each drive.
I have had this problem before with other Macs in our office. I have solved that problem by changing the ownerships & permissions of each drive. And when all else failed, I created a new administrator for the computer and the problem went away.
I tried both of these things on our Power Mac, yet the problem persists.
Any advice?

I have gone through the ownerships & permissions and tried several different combinations of having the owner "locked/unlocked" and the "Ignore ownership of this volume" selected or de-selected. I get the same results regardless of these changes.
Strangely, EVERY TIME I restart the computer, I am able to once again re-name the volumes. But once the computer goes into sleep mode, the problem arises again.

  • Unable to access Partition Drive

    I was recently using a G6 Tower with a hard drive partion for use with Virtual PC loaded. The logic board/mother board crapped out and rather then pay the funds to repair I installed the hard drive in a stand alone box to use with a new iMac. I have been able to access the drive in the box but am encountering lots of issues when trying to access the partion portion. I'm unable to access Virtual PC for some reason and keep receiving the message "Virtual PC quit unexpectedly" and am asked to reopen the application which just goes into a loop. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the hint though I am aware of this. I'm attempting to access the partition to obtain some data off of it to in turn utilize within VM Fusion.

  • Unable to rename partition

    I wanted to change the name of a Time Capsule and also the partition on it.
    I successfully changed the name of the base using Airport Utility (easy).  However, I cannot figure out how to change the partition name.  I used the mv function in Terminal and it appeared to work successfully, but when I rebooted my machine and reconnected to the Time Capsule, the partition reverted to its old name.
    I cannot change the name of the partition in Finder, as would be able to do with other items.
    What am I doing wrong?

    LMAO people in here are so rude and hold the highest authority when they don't even have a clue as to what they are talking about. I recently changed mine from Terabyte to 2TB.
    You need the old version of AirPort Utlity 5.5.3 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1390
    Click Manual Setup on your Time Capsule > Disks > Disks(tab) > Click on the current name under Time Capsule Disk > Then to the right type new name > Click Update

    Your problem is not Boot Camp, in fact, is your optical drive. Win XP requires indeed sp2, but also the internal drive, does not work from external optical drive.
    For other possible tricks, please use the appropriate Boot Camp forum, not here. Mac OS X may be installed from both external and internal optical drive and/or internal/external partition of a disk, any disk. Windows is not so generous.

  • Unable to rename folders and files on SharePoint mapped drive.

    I just installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 and have mapped a drive to my SharePoint "Shared Documents" folder.  I am able to open, save, and delete files and folders.  However, I am unable to rename files and folders.  No matter how long of
    short of a name I use I get the following error:
    "The file name you specified is not valid or too long.  Specify a different file name."
    I've mapped the "S" drive to http://hostname.domain.com/Shared Documents/
    I am a SharePoint Admin, and have confirmed that if I do not have this problem if I log into SharePoint with IE.  I have also confirmed that others are not experiencing this issue. Also, this issue did not exist on my previous installation of Windows
    7.  Therefore I assume this is a config issue.
    Also, in "My Computer" it shows the mapped SharePoint drive as a "FAT" filesystem.

    Did some more testing. From my mapped drive, I can create new folders and files, and delete them.  I created a folder in Windows Explorer, when I tried to give a name it gave me the above error and saved the folder as "New Folder".  No matter when
    I try, I cannot rename this folder unless I log into the SharePoint interface.
    Next, I tried this from the command line.  I moved to my S drive, and did a "mkdir test" and was able to create a folder named test.  Next I tried to "rename test testing" and received the following error:
    The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
    The full path is S:\test.  If I do a "mkdir testing" I am able to create the folder.  If I try to rename the folder in Explorer, it gives me the "file name not valid or too long".  I'm obviously well under the 260 character limit, so there
    has to be something wrong with the fiel name, or drive mapping.
    Also, when I "dir" the S drive it tells me the drive has no label.  "Volume in drive S has no label."
    I'm having the same issue with files. I can create a file, modify it, delete it, but can't rename it.

  • Unable to format partition, disk may be damaged

    I was experiencing a problem with my Windows XP installation on Bootcamp. The Windows side kept restarting, and I could not find the reason, so I formatted with the Windows XP disc and tried to re-install it, but it didn't work. I forget the exact error as to why. So I went back to the Mac side and re-formatted the partition sing Bootcamp, and now when I try to re-install the Windows XP on the Bootcamp partition, I get the error:
    Unable to format partition, disk may be damaged
    What can I do? I don't understand, because this disk has worked before and I am on the mac side right now, so the actual disk does not appear to be damaged. What can I do?

    Do a full format as it will check for errors and mark bad clusters if it finds any (full format = quick + chkdsk /x ), but only create one OS partition e.g like 30GB or something , this will be plenty enough for the os ,instead of the whole drive . Will save you time .
    Wait with partitioning the rest of the drive as an extra partition until the OS is installed using diskmanagement .
    Also make sure sata-dma is enabled in bios .

  • Win 8.1: Reset vs Install on partitioned drive (XP- upgrade 8- upgrade 8.1) now need clean install

    This is a little complicated.
    I have a Thinkpad T-60 (4GB) and a T-61p (8GB)
    Both machines have SATA drives partitioned in 3 (System, Images, Data)
    Originally, both had XP (the T-61p was RAM upgraded to 8 GB before upgrade (remember the $50 early-bird special?)
    I upgraded the T60 without problem (as I recall).
    I had to get the 64-bit physical upgrade as you could only download the version you already had (32-bit; remember that disaster?) for the T-61p.
    Figuring I had 4 GB on the T-60, I used 64 bit as well, ending up with only 3 GB active.  I take it this was a waste and should have just used the  32-bit, right?
    I clean installed (as I recall) 8.1 using a generic 8 key (right?) and then an 8.1 key (right?, or is that an 8 key that will still activate 8.1?)
    So here it is 3 years later +/- and both 8.1 installs are pretty trashed so...
    I downloaded both the 8.1 32-bit and 64-bit .iso's
    I have my serial #'s
    I tried a Reset on my Server last night (whole disk, no partitions) - it worked, and gave me an option to wipe all disks, or just the C: system disk (which I did, others intact). It is fine, all settings gone, no trash.
    Now the question is what will happen with my partitioned drives. I want a clean install on the C: partition, and D: and E: left alone.
    Will Reset trash all the partitions and load the entire disk? (NOT what I want) .. or ..
    Should I use the Install option? (which I assume will go through the partition manager) and allow me to clean install on C: only.
    Lastly, if I have read correctly, there is no point in putting 64-bit on the T-60 (4 GB) as all you end up is 3 GB active anyway, so I should go back to 32-bit and avoid the 64-bit headaches?
    Thanks!!!

  • Download Helper, even with paid converter upgrade, gives "Invalid Capture File" errors and will not record audio, with "File Creation Error - Unable to rename/copy audio file" Error.

    Download Helper Screen Capture worked to capture video if the default "no audio" option is active. But, no audio. The "speakers" or "microphone" audio options are confusing....the audio to be captured is from the video, so what do you choose? With either "speakers" or "microphone" selected, the captured file has poor audio and no video. Re-capture efforts (speakers) get "Invalid capture file error" and "File Creation error- Unable to rename/copy audio file"
    The paid upgrade of "Converter" doesn't work.
    Instructive documentation - not very good.
    Suggestions - Need time delay between initiation of "Record" and starting the video to be recorded.
    Could use timer tracking of the record process.
    Are there operating system limitations? (Have Windows XP Pro)

    That is an issue for the developer of that Download Helper.

  • Unable to Load USB Driver in LV for Total Phase's Aardvark I2C adaptor

    I have tried to instal Total Phase's Aardvark I2C USB driver for LabVIEW on two computers and two versions of LV (8.5 and 7.1) without success. The Windows driver seems to be working fine as their command center gui terminal-esque program works without a hitch, but the LV DLL doesn't seem to work.
    Attached is the very simple vi to find connected Aardvark USB devices (aa_find_devices). It always returns the same error code, 8002, which resolves to:
    AA_UNABLE_TO_LOAD_DRIVER
    -2
    unable to load USB driver
    From their documentation: http://www.totalphase.com/docs/aardvark_datasheet/​sect005/#s5.9
    This looks like perhaps the LabVIEW DL, "aardvark.dll" maybe having a versioning issue. So my question is this: Using LabVIEW, how does one debug dll dependencies and resolve issues like this? Do I need the source code for the lib?
     Cheers,
    Joe Gorse

    Dear Joe,
    Let me start off by apologizing for the inconvenience you
    have gone through.  I am an engineer at Total Phase.  We are
    working on fixing this issue for our next release of the
    Aardvark LabVIEW Driver.  This forum post was only brought
    to our attention today.  In the future, you can also let
    Total Phase know about these kinds of issues by emailing
    [email protected]  We are very responsive through
    email or phone.
    The problem you are experiencing has to do with versioning
    issues between our DLL and USB driver.  Specifically, DLLs
    before v5.xx must use the older version of our USB driver.
    By replacing the DLL from our latest version of Control
    Center, you have effectively upgraded the DLL that the
    LabVIEW driver is using and made it compatible with v2.xx of
    the USB driver.
    The most likely reason that smercurio_fc did not see a
    difference between the DLL in Aardvark Control Center and
    the LabVIEW driver is because he is using an older version
    of Control Center and correspondingly an older version of
    the USB driver.
    The reason that we have not packaged the LabVIEW driver with
    latest DLL is due to the fact that a few functions have
    changed their function prototypes (for example aa_open_ext
    and aa_spi_write), and the VIs have not yet been updated
    accordingly.  Although updating the DLL solved your USB
    driver issue, it introduced this new issue.  If you try to
    use these certain VIs, LabVIEW will error out.
    We are currently working on updating the LabVIEW drivers to
    work cohesively with the new DLL and USB driver, and this
    should be available soon.  If you need immediate
    availability to the functions with new prototypes you will
    have to change it manually.  The other recommended option is
    to simply revert back to the DLL that is packaged with our
    LabVIEW driver and downgrade the USB driver back to v1.xx.
    I will make sure to post again once the update is released,
    and I once again apologize for the inconvenience.
    Best regards,
    Etai

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

    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
    command for VB for a Win 7 OS?
