WRT350N USB Driva access on Vista 64

Has anyone had any luck getting it to work in NTFS?  I can get it to read NTFS, but it will not write. I have tried the ext3 with no luck (which was a suggestion by Western Digital), and am currently at FAT32.
Any suggestions. I'm using Vista 64 Ultimate with a WD 500 GB USB 2.0
I mean this stuff should be just olug and play right...hehe
Thanks.

I read thru the board here, and some people claim that 500Gb drives simply don't work with this router. Anything larger than 250Gb has problems they say. I am working on a 500Gb seagate and it locks up routinely.
That is not true at all, I have a 1 Tera Byte Buffalo USB/Firewire Storage Station (2 x 500Gig HDD's in spanned raid mode) connected to my WRT350N router and I am able to see the whole partition and can copy to and from files with no problems.

  • WRT350N USB Drive Max File Size?

    What is the max. file size for the FAT32 USB Drive when attached to a WRT350N?  When I try to transfer a 11.7 GB file to the Drive, the drive "disconnects" after 3.8GB has been transfered.  [Transfer status window shows 7.9 GB remaining to be transfered a the time of disconnect.]  I've tried both the Mapped Network drive and the FTP Sever approaches and get the same results every time.  All smaller files transfer to the WRT350N USB Drive successfully every time.  I using a Windows Vista Ultimate desktop (Wired connection) and the Router has 1.3.02 frimware.
    The symptoms tend to indicate that the max. file size is limited to 4GB?  Is this correct? 

    You will have to format your disk with the help of the WRT350N and after that you will have creat Share with same "Storage" tab on the linksys router.

  • WRT350N Storage Password Access in Vista

    This might be a known problem 'cause I saw at least one other thread where this was mentioned.
    I have a USB drive connected to my WRT350N and a share setup on the router. I can mount the drive locally via "Map Network Drive" and \\192.168.1.1\MyDrive and I can even do it across the WAN using the routers WAN IP. When the drive is mapped I get a password dialog and can mount the drive using user "Guest" with no password.
    My problem is that I can't get Vista to accept the passwords for any other accounts than the guest account. I get a "Logon Unsuccessful" message. This includes the admin account. No a big problem for my local network since I can mount drives under the guest account and grant guest access to all the drives fo RW, but not wise for accessing my data across the internet.
    Anyone have any ideas - Is this a Vista thing or something that will need to wait for Firmware 2.0 for the WRT350N?
    Thanks!
    Rob

    I have the same logon problem using Vista Home Premium edition.
    The is no "secpol.msc" file to edit. Any other options?

  • USB Drive accessed externally?

    Is it possible to set up my usb drive hanging off my AEBSn as a read-only file server that can be accessed externally? Thanks.

    Is it possible to set up my usb drive hanging off
    my
    AEBSn as a read-only file server that can be
    accessed
    externally? Thanks.
    What do you mean by "accessed externally".
    As far as the read-only, you should the able to use
    standard OS X commands to set the properties of
    "Ownership and Permission", if you have admin
    privileges. Right click on the volume, select Get
    Info, look at Ownership and permission, open details.
    These are the usual read/write/execute of Owner,
    Group and Others. The UNIX commands "chown", "chgrp
    "and "chmod" will do most of the job (likely with
    sudo prepended) that is needed.
    You might double check the function of these commands with an AEBS shared disk. For me the files are all drwxrwxrwx and chown says that "Operation is not supportes".
    The drives are formatted using HFS+ and have the permissions configured to be on, but the Airport Extreme Base Station disagrees with this.

  • USB drive access is blocked

    My machine is connected to my office network and i have local admin privileges, i can install anything and i can change/give  permissions to any one to any drive. But, when i insert my USB drive i am not able to access it, when i click on it, it says
    "Removable disk(E:) Access is denied"
    I have also tried unplugging my network cable and logged in as a local user (without logging in to the office network), but still i am not able to connect my USB to machine. 
    I have also tried regedit->USBSTOR->3(changing number), but no luck.
    Any ways to overcome it? or is there any other ways to use my USB on my machine?

    1. Once you change the USBSTOR value,try to execute below command on CMD.
    c:\>gpupdate /force
    2. Also, Please check the security permission on below files (your account needs to have full control) :
    %SystemRoot%\Inf\Usbstor.pnf
    %SystemRoot%\Inf\Usbstor.inf
    3. Unplug your USB 
    Go to run and type gpedit.msc 
    Navigate to computer configuration -> Administrative Templates->System, and then select Removable Storage Access in the left column 
    on the right side 
    you may find something like 
    Removable Disks: Deny execute access,deny write,deny read access, 
    all removable storage deny
    open them and disable all these four options. 
    Plug in your USB and check.

  • USB drive access issues when using Windows Backup Win7Pro

    I've run into a similar issue. I'm using an RD1000 USB drive which uses hard drives as removable media.  There's an alert which states "Windows backup  needs a CD/DVD or USB Drive to continue."  It then states I
    can continue the backup on the existing media or insert blank media.  By simply selecting Continue the backup will proceed but this interrupts the backup every night so the backup won't automatically run until that challenge is responded too.  I checked
    permissions and reloaded the MS windows driver for the drive.  I tried exFat and NTSF formats. Not sure how to force it to automatically proceed.  The backup is only a tenth of the size of the total available drive space. Any
    ideas?

  • WRT350N, Drive access in Vista

    I have the WRT350N router with a hard disk attached.  My network consists of 2 Vista systems and one XP system.  I am able to connect to the hard drive via all 3 systems, and have mapped the drive as directed by others on this forum (thanks!).
    My problem is that the 2 Vista systems cannot copy/paste files & folders from other systems to the router-connected drive---I get an error of "There is not enough space on All_Partitions (Linksyswrt350n).  You need additional KB to copy these files."   It shows "Space Free: 0 bytes" even though the disk has over 300GB available on it.  Interestingly, I can save new files to the drive as well as opened files that I save to the new location.  I just cannot copy files directly from a Vista system to the router-drive.
    On the other hand, the XP system machine can copy/paste/etc. without any errors or issues, so I can at least see that it does work okay with one of my computers.
    I have tried searching through the forum as well as checking other Internet sites for a solution.  It's obviously a Vista system issue and I suspect there is some specific item I am missing in the router setup or on the Vista machines that could prevent this space-related error.
    Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated!
    JR

    I just formatted my new external drive (while connected to my computer directly) with 1 NTFS partition.
    The drive is now connected to the router via USB.
    In Vista Explore, in the Network tree I see:
    LINKSYS350N
    -All_Partitions
    -Config
    -Printers
    Nothing is in any of the folders.
    Qtn:  Is "All_Partitions" my physical drive?
    If so, I haven't yet mapped the drive.
    If I try to save a document to that drive/folder, I get a message that says "File not found" & "Try a different name..."
    Is there some permission settings that need to be set?
    I tried to "Map Network Drive..." on All_Partitions, I put in the router login information and was told "The drive is currently already mapped using a different username and password"
    How do I gain access to the drive?  And what is the way Linksys would prefer us to set up the drive on the network to best work with the router's features?
    Thanks, Mark

  • WRTSL54GS USB drive access issues

    Hi,
    I have a Linksys WRTSL54GS (FW 2.06.0) for a bout a 2 years and have never used the USB port until now. I have WD 640GB (FAT32) BookShelf and I can't seem the access the drive through using shared feature.
    1) Can't access the shared with any user id other than guest.  I've created users but can't long in from my vista computer or laptop with any created user or admin ID.  Can access drive with the user ID guest only.
    2) Can't see shared directories or files.
    3) Can't write to shared directories.
    I've been trying to solve this problem for days with no luck. 
    Anybody have any idea what could be the problem? 
    I even tried using USB jump drives and still same problme.  I've convinced it's the linksys WRTSL54GS.  The feature I bought it for doesn't worked and I should have tried it when I first brought it.
    thanks.

    Anywone again?  I hate to have to buy another router.  I don't think I would bother with linksys if I have spend money on another router.

  • Internal and External USB Drive access has failed!

    Hello Troubleshooters,
    I am a new forum member. The following is a post I sent out last month but no one has as yet solved my problem.
    Could you try for me please?
    Thanks, Major Mac.
    SOS... Please help me solve this problem that occurred suddenly.
    I can no longer see any CD or DVD on my Desktop when I load the Drive... no access.
    Neither can I see any Printer, Flash Drive, or any external Drive whether plugged into a USB or Ethernet Port. Only my Canon Camera loads onto the iPhoto Application via USB, and my Internet link via Ethernet.
    Is a Driver damaged or missing? Does this have anything to do with BIOS or Firmware? Just guessing.

    I apologise for the late reply guys. My service provider was experiencing some tech difficulties and I had no connection for most of today.
    Thanks to Roam, Cornelius, BDAqua, Kappy and K. Shaffer. Your Tech info and suggestions tremendously increases my learning curve.... I notice, even among each other (;
    Now that I have Internet access restored, I will attempt your suggestions, starting by attempting a "Safe Mode Boot", then Apple Jack.
    Concerning your personal preference for Tech Tool Pro, DriveGenius or Disk Warrior (in that order) I became supprised because I read from either BDAqua, Littleshoulders, or someone else, who suggested those Tools in the opposite order of preference, and also submitted links to testimonials which highly rate Disk Warrior as the best and their life saver (after God). I was really impressed with Disk Warrior, that's why I have decided to find the money to purchase it.
    But because I'm studying and not earning income, I am attempting everything everything possible that has little or no cost to execute a fix.
    So if I get no positive results from "Safe Mode Boot", or Apple Jack, then I will attempt the procedures stated in your link for "Kappy on Error -9972".
    I tell you Cornelius... this mouthful of troubleshooting info from Kappy is one to be recorded and used for greater learning.
    If I had this info a year ago, most likely I would not have lost my data on my original HDD that came with my G4. Yes.. I am experiencing problems with a new HDD that a Technician installed in my G4 only a year ago. Yes... its a Seagate Barracuda 7200-10 160Gb. Now tell me that this brand is no good so that I would feel comfortable with my Technician. Good thing is that he gave me back my original Hitachi Deskstar 7200 120Gb which I felt I might be able to salvage in the future.But having no time to pursue it because of my studies. Now.. push has come to shove!
    What I need you guys to know is that I had similar trouble reports from Apple Disk Utility about the original HDD which got worse until the HDD refused to boot. But this time around, the replacement HDD boots and runs pretty good, even with one 512Mb memory card installed. It's just that I no longer have access to the Super Drive, or any external drive via USB or Ethernet. Tomorrow I'm going to hook up an external drive via my Firewire port and hope to see it on my desktop screen.
    Thanks to K. Shaffer for the link to Smart-Utility. I will read up on that tonight and see what help I can access also.
    Again thanks for the prompt replies. I will be monitoring the forum tonight to look for your replies, and will update you all later tonight as well.
    BTW How do you all receive all these posts on the fly? Is it that you're logged in 24/7 ?? Or are you subscribed to everyone on board? (;

  • Can't access the Time Capsule Drive and attached USB drive

    I bought the 3 TB Time capsule a couple of months ago.  I am using it as my wireless router for a cable modem and have attached a USB drive (seagate) to the TC.  I use the TC drive for time machine only.  It worked well at first, for about the first month.   Now I have trouble accessing the TC drive as well as the USB drive.  The router function works perfectly fine.  The drives show up in the Finder under Shared but  cannot connect.  Time machine does not back up because it says the back up drive is not available.  In disc utility, the base station shows with the correct name, but I can't access it. It asks for a pasword but does not respond, so I cannot reboot it from my computer.
    If I restart the TC (power off and on), it works fine, I can access both drives.  However, this problem recurs, sometimes within a few days.  I have also noticed, which may be related, that when I enter time machine (when everything is working fine), some of the back-ups are blank.  There is a date and time but no actual back-up.  Not sure if this is related.
    I'm runing Mavericks 10.9.2 on an older MacBook, 15" late 2008 with 2.4 ghz dual core.

    Hi Bob,
    I updated Mavericks but still had the same problem, so I did a hard reset on TC, although I held the button for over 5 seconds and the amber light was flashing rapidly, it acted like a soft reset.  Still no change so I rebooted my laptop.   Still had an excellent internet connection but in AirPort utility, the TC is grayed out and says device not found.  Light on TC was amber.  So, I tried a hard reset again, but the light wouldn't flash at all.  Unplugged it and after pluggin back in, acted like a hard reset.  I restored previous settings and it is fine for the moment.  Will keep you posted if it recurs.  Hopefully it will not with updated Mavericks, but I get the feeling the problem may be the TC.

  • Can't access a USB Drive connected to Time Capsule from a Windows PC.  Apple Care can't/won't assist.  HELP!!!

    Trying to get my Windows 7 PC to access the USB Drive that is connected to my Time Capsule.  I have a Fat32 Formatted USB drive connected to a 2TB Time Capsule and I'm trying to get access to that drive from a Windows 7 PC.  I've attempted to map the network drive (based on some 3-4 year old articles I could find online) but any time I access a file from the PC, the Time Capsule "freaks out" and disconnects all connections to it which forces me to unplug it to restart the Tim Capsule.  I'm at a loss now as to what to do.
    Spent a few hours talking to Apple about this and much more.  Apple Care can't or won't help with this particular problem (the guy I talked to, as nice and helpful as he wanted to be, had no experience supporting their hardware in a Windows environment).
    Someone has to know how to fix this so, PLEASE, help if you can!

    First off, Archon23, what you want to achieve is possible.  I have access to both my Time Capsule (TC) and the USB drive connected to it, from a Win. 7 and Win. XP machine.
    Here is what I see from the Windows side of things:
         From My Computer - TC USB Drive (Y)
         From Windows HomeNet - Time Capsule:
    Now getting there is the trick.
    One caveat before proceeding:  I am not well versed in Windows Networks, Windows Sharing and Firewall settings so some of the following may not be elegant, may not be absolutely required, and may not be the best way of getting there.  But it is what I did to see both the TC drive and it's attached USB  drive on the Windows side of my network..
    1.) First, I added Airport Utility to the Inbound rules of Win 7 Firewall
    While poking around my Network Sharing and Firewall settings trying to figure this out, I got a Pop-up recommending I do that.  AND I did that. Oh, and while you are at it, make sure you have a Home network established. 
    2.) Next, on a hunch, I installed a USB Wi-Fi Adapter (under $20) to my Win PC, enabled that Wi-Fi connection and disabled my Ethernet connection.  I was getting no where on this matter with my Ethernet connection to a DSL Gateway.  But with a Wi-Fi connection to my AirPort Express Base Station, I made progress.
    3.) Finally, while poking around my Network Sharing Center some more, one by one I started the various network device Setup Wizards in there, and Trouble Shooters, to find the elusive TC/USB devices in question...AND voila, it worked.   And it's stable, been this way for going on two weeks now.
    Good luck.

  • Accessing a USB drive connected to Airport Extreme over Internet

    Hello!
    I have an iPad, I have an Airport Extreme with a USB drive connected and I have a MobileMe account.
    And I'm aware that as yet there's no Back To My Mac for iPad.
    Is there an easy way on the iPad to connect remotely to the USB drive, over the Internet?
    I don't want to have to leave my MacBook Pro on whilst I'm travelling.
    I've looked at Logmein and Filebrowser and iTeleport and can't find a way to do this.
    Has anyone managed to suss this???
    Many thanks....

    I am not ware of any way of doing what you want since, to my knowledge, the AE does not function as a server to "serve" the contents of a connected USB drive. I have a LaCie NAS and that NAS includes a FTP server that I can access via my iPad via AirSharing HD.

  • Trouble accessing files on external USB drive after 10.6.8 update

    Upgraded to Mac 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro (I'm not a techie, but the "About This Mac" thingy says 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 - I assume that means something to somebody). Since the upgrade, I've been having problems accessing data on an external HD connected via USB - there were no issues before the upgrade, but now it's impossible to even navigate to a particular file or subfolder half the time, as the process freezes 95% of the time (every so often I am able to get through, for no obvious reason) - usually I just get what looks like an empty folder and a little spinning thing in the bottom right-hand corner. Sometimes when I do get to a file - say it's a ZIP file - I'll try to unZIP it and the process will hang; if I try to drag it to the desktop and unZIP it there, I can't get it to copy to the desktop, I just get the "copying files" box and a bar that never shows any progress, it just hangs at zero bytes out of whatever it might be.
    Also having intermittent issues with another external USB drive, which is the one I use for Time Machine - about one in every five backup attempts is successful, the rest of the time I get a message saying the backup couldn't be performed.
    I have two external FireWire drives as well, and I'm having no trouble with either of those - so I'm assuming the problem is USB-related (and 10.6.8 related, since none of this was happening before the upgrade).
    So - I'm wondering if anybody else is having the same issues, and f there's a solution that a non-techie like me could handle that won't make blood come out of my ears.
    Cheers!

    Thanks baltwo - the PRAM tip was helpful. For some reason I still have trouble accessing a few files, I'm putting that down to them being somehow corrupted. Eric, thanks, but I tried using Disk Utility and the communication problems I was having with the drive meant that the repair couldn't be performed. I may try again now that that side of things seems to be running a little more smoothly. Anyway, thank you both!

  • Can I boot Vista OS from an external USB drive

    Hi, I would like to install Vista onto an external (USB) drive and boot from that occasionally whilst retaining XP on the internal drive. Is this possible please. I realise I would need to change the boot order in BIOS.
    I know I could create a dual boot internal but would like to retain as much space as possible on the internal drive as I will only rarely need to use the dreaded Vista.
    Thanks
    Ron

    And how you want to install Vista on USB device? Have you already tried it?
    Please post a little bit about your experience with it if you have some.
    Anyway, as far as I know something like this is not possible.
