17. I keep getting Autoplay when I plug in NetDisk. How can I avoid it?
Create a blank text file in the root directory of your NetDisk and name it
"autorun.inf". Place this in the root directory of your NetDisk letter in "My
Computer." This should stop the Autoplay prompt.
18. Using Windows file sharing function, after reboot, share gets lost.
Is there any work around?
Create a batch file and place it in your startup folder. To create batch file:
- Open up notepad -
- Type in "net share sharename=DriveLetter:path" (For example net share
NetDisk =F:)
- Save the file as a .bat extension. (For example, the file name would be
called " Net-Disk.bat")
19. Why can’t my computer go into hibernation or standby?
If you want to use your computer in hibernation or standby, you must have
NetDisk unmounted before that can occur. Click on the NDAS Device
Management icon on your system tray, select the NDAS device, and click
unmount to disconnect the NetDisk. Then computer will go into hibernation
or standby.
20. I have clicked on the NDAS Device Management icon on my desk-
top and nothing happens.
The icon on the desktop is only used to launch our icon into the system tray,
if for some reason it is not already there. The icon in the system tray must
be tested working first.
21. When I try to copy something to my NetDisk, why does the follow-
ing show up: “Cannot copy NetDisk Administrator: The disk is write-
protected. Remove the write-protection or use another disk.”?
You probably do not have Read/Write access. Please unmount write access
from another computer (Mac most likely) first. Click on the NDAS Device
Management Icon in your bottom-right system tray. Go to your NetDisk and
then click on "Enable Read/Write."
22. Why can't I format my whole NetDisk to FAT32?
Windows 2000/XP comes with a limitation of only 32GB partitions that it can
create. This is a Windows limitation and the only resolution is to use a 3rd
party partitioning software swissknife downloadable in http://www.com-
puapps.com. With our Multi-Write drivers, NTFS is recommended anyways
for stability and performance purposes.
