  1. Can't access network usb shared hard drive


    I have a usb connected hard drive connected to my Bell 2000 router. The instructions to access this drive is to go to the Documents folder and enter \\mynetwork. This then shows the shared hard drive as \\mynetwork\NETWORKHD. If I now click on NETWORKHD I get the following:
    \\mynetwork\NWTWORKHD is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contac the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

    Not enough storage is available to process this command.
    This all worked for me under Windows 7. I am unsure if it ever worked under Windows 10.

    If I plug a 2 gb thumb drive into the other port on my Bell 2000 rounter it works without any problem.

    Is this a permissions problem or is there something else going on that I can fix!

    Thanks for your assistance.

    :)

  2. How do I recover with the my USB system image?

    Having created a system image onto my USB Flash Drive, I can't figure out how to get the restore system to recognize it.

    How I created my USB Flash drive "backup system image" by formatting the USB drive into NTFS format. Then right click the USB H: drive to Properties to click on Sharing tab. Checked the Share box. Clicked on "Advanced Sharing". Permissions; set to Allow on
    Full Control, Clicked on Apply, then OK, then OK again. This made the USB drive accessible as a network drive by using the share path \\example\h

    for the the system image to copy to.

    From the Windows 10 Control Panel\ Click Backup and restore (Windows 7)

    Noting; Microsoft has Windows 10 using Backup and restore (Windows 7) for system backups.

    At the bottom under Restore, click-on Select another backup to restore files
    opens Restore Files (Advanced), Click-on the Browse network location and type in the USB shared path; \\example\h. This was the path for the image USB I made.

    I keep getting this error message; The network location cannot be read Details; The network name cannot be found. (0x80070043)

    NOTE: I can't explain why the USB system image I created had drive letter \h but when I plug it in it for the restore it reads as USB Drive (ECan't access network usb shared hard drive :)

    PROBLEM; is the latest image was on the USB Drive. I have others on Hard Drive D: and network TB Drive. The USB I made as an additional backup to test out if a USB Drive system image could be done. If anyone knows more about how to fix this, please post
    back

    After the Win 10 Anniversary update network shares are no longer accessible. Why? How do I fix?

    After the Win 10 Anniversary update was installed I can no longer access any of my network shares or network storage devices. When I try to access the shares I get an access denied error message.

    When I try to access the usb hard drive attached to my Linksys router I also get an access denied error. The drive on the router was accessible to everyone but now is not accessible to anyone that has been subjected to the Anniversary Update mess.

    How do I get my shares and NAS back to a point where I can use them?

    After many days of of trying everything I could think of doing, the problem was resolved by power cycling (rebooting) my router.
