How to reset the registry to enable Automatic Drive Assignment when pluging in a drive to the USB port.

manually, go to computer management, click on the raw driove and ASSIGN a letter... then only login as administrator

After a couple hours searching, I found this command code works;

Open up a command prompt.
Enter the following:
diskpart <enter> (takes a few seconds to load)
automount enable <enter>
Exit.

"no need to reboot"

Please help fix the automatic drive assigment and use for the system, TIA

Registry: change
 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MountMgr\NoAutoMount
 
Value of 1 is disabled
Value of 0 is enabled
 
Noautomount value not present defaults to enabled

General Computer Support / chkdsk c: /f gives "An unspecified error occurred" error message

« on: June 05, 2013, 10:17:03 am »

I searched around and basically came up with zero references;

could use some help here...

what happened, the disk went Kaput, rebuilding the system from scratch OUCH!

with a clean install, I want to retrieve the old data on the old drive. however, while trying to kopy the info to the new partitions, it has flags and won't kopy till chkdisk completes. My intention, keep the old C and D drive handy on the new hard drive rather than a USB port... then just copy the old data files into the new drive... accordingly, a new install

TIA

General Computer Support / Adding Program fixes for the following;

« on: May 11, 2013, 09:24:03 am »

Windows Registry keys corrupt;

ISSUE NUMBER ONE: SYSTEM BOOT FAILURE;

I am an old man, so some words typed in BOLD for my convenience.

HERES WHAT;

OK, Hypothetically? LETS MOVE THE BAD SYSTEM to another system that works on a USB DRIVE, "BUT LETS CREATE some commands that only run the REGEDIT as follows on the bad boot drive;

"CD\ windows bad system", then only run the registry in the bad system failure, or perhaps create another version of REGEDIT that will only OPEN THE BAD BOOT SYSTEM registry in the BAD SYSTEM,

THEN; WE COULD ACTUALLY RESTORE AN OLD WORKING REGISTRY!!!!!!!!!

this program would Before shutdown, RUN SFC / from the good boot drive to fix any files in the BAD BOOT DRIVE. Perform a CHKDSK

Then, move the drive back to the system.

Of course, we would need to be sure that we had the original install disk to be sure were even doing this work on the right system.

The world is waiting..................

Planet Earth Citizens Thank you in advance!

need help to repair theses functions: need to re-write the registry keys.

I own a legal copy of windows; people using your service should be warned that their systems will not start if they are using an illegal copy of windows

I do not have a virus, as I know!

Already ran Avast, MBAM to check for malware...

for EMSISOFT, it found some things; but its program fault is not mobing them immediately to the quaratine folder like microsofts scanner does, MSFT snanner does not find them, no need continue on that subject. hence when my system crashed during scanning, had to do over again.. this is quite a BIG WASTE OF TIME guys... especiallay when I was checking other hard drives, it ran all night too and manually had to reboot and start over... but what the point if it no MOVE THE FOUND THINGS?

I did an old registry backup but can not use the old registry as there are too many conflicts... besides, these are only windows issues and just Right for your programming qualities

Thank you for your assistance in advance...
