Using the Windows file sharing function, after reboot, the Network Drive 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 "
NetDisk.bat".
I installed the NetDisk key but cannot see the Network Drive in "My Computer."
What should I do?
Click on the NDAS Admin Tool in your System tray and make sure the Network Drive is
enabled. There should be a dot next to your Network Drive, colored either Blue
(Read/Write) or Green (Read Only). If it is a black colored dot, then please go to the
FAQ: "I've installed my NetDisk and it shows up as a Black Dot."
If the Network Drive is enabled, open "Computer Management" by right-clicking on "My
Computer." Go to "Manage," then click on "Disk Management." Check if your Network
Drive is recognized. It should show up as Disk 1 or Disk 2 or a different number
depending on the number of drives that you have on your computer. Right-click on the
appropriate "Disk #" and click "Initialize." if that option exists.
Also make sure that the Network Drive is partitioned and formatted. If you see something
that says "Unallocated," then right-click on the "Unallocated," create a partition, and then
format the drive to your file system preference.
To use the Network Drive with other Operating Systems such as Windows 98SE / ME,
and Mac OS X, you will need to format your NetDisk to FAT32 for it to be recognized.
Why am I getting a "Data has been corrupted" message when I try to open or copy
a file?
- Open up Command Prompt and run "chkdsk" for the NetDisk drive.
- Go to Start - Run - type in "cmd" without the quotation marks.
- Then type in "chkdsk NetDiskDriveLetter: /F" (For example, if your NetDisk shows up
as drive letter E: in My Computer, you would type in the following: chkdsk E: /F)
