command line - How to undo "remove all dismount" in Diskpart?


I made a boo boo! I executed the following commands in cmd:


diskpart
list volume
select volume 13
remove all dismount
exit

I have one of those dual-slot card readers with one slot for SD and one slot for CF cards.


The volume 13 was drive letter P for the SD cards. I also had drive letter N for the CF cards. I still have the N drive for CF cards and it works properly. But I have lost drive P for the SD cards. I tried unplugging the card reader and then plugging it back in. The result of it was that I could see both the P and N drive in Explorer, but only the N drive worked properly. Inserting an SD card in the reader and trying to open P drive resulted in some error message saying something like "there is no disk inserted".


diskpart did say that I needed to reboot after the remove all dismount command.



DiskPart successfully removed the drive letter, but your computer needs to be rebooted before the changes take effect. Diskpart successfully dismounted the volume.



So I rebooted but the problem remains. Now I only see the N drive. There is no P drive letter whatsoever in Explorer.


How do I correct this mistake? What's the opposite command of remove all dismount?


I just checked Device Manager. I can see the reader there, and the SD slot has been assigned drive letter O but there is an exclamation mark, and this drive letter is not appearing in Explorer.


device manager


Properties dialog states the following:



This device cannot start. (Code 10)


Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.



If I click that it says it could not load driver software, and allows me to check online for a solution, which it doesn't find.


could not load driver

List mount point:


mountvol

alternative:


mountvol /L | findstr "\ ***"

Output:


\\?\Volume{093d583c-a043-11e1-b420-806e6f6e6963}\
    N:\
\\?\Volume{093d583d-a043-11e1-b420-806e6f6e6963}\
    C:\

\\?\Volume{31f40cd2-4088-11e2-b0f4-806e6f6e6963}\
    I:\
\\?\Volume{093d5841-a043-11e1-b420-806e6f6e6963}\
    D:\

Mount logical disk P:


mountvol P:  \\?\Volume{31f40cd1-4088-11e2-b0f4-806e6f6e6963}\

Dismount logical disk P:



mountvol P: /D

Run USB-device panel:


RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll

How do I transmit a single hexadecimal value serial data in PuTTY using an Alt code?

I am trying to sent a specific hexadecimal value across a serial COM port using PuTTY. Specifically, I want to send the hex codes 9C, B6, FC, and 8B. I have looked up the Alt codes for these and they are 156, 182, 252, and 139 respectively. However, whenever I input the Alt codes, a preceding hex value of C2 is sent before 9C, B6, and 8B so the values that are sent are C2 9C, C2 B6, and C2 8B. The value for FC is changed to C3 FC. Why are these values being placed before the hex value and why is FC being changed altogether? To me, it seems like there is a problem internally converting the Alt code to hex. Is there a way to directly input hex values without using Alt codes in PuTTY? Answer What you're seeing is just ordinary text character set conversion. As far as PuTTY is concerned, you are typing (and reading) text , not raw binary data, therefore it has to convert the text to bytes in whatever configured character set before sending it over the wire. In other words, when y...

linux - Extract/save a mail attachment using bash

Using normal bash tools (ie, built-ins or commonly-available command-line tools), is it possible, and how to extract/save attachments on emails? For example, say I have a nightly report which arrives via email but is a zip archive of several log files. I want to save all those zips into a backup directory. How would I accomplish that? Answer If you're aiming for portability, beware that there are several different versions of mail(1) and mailx(1) . There's a POSIX mailx command, but with very few requirements. And none of the implementations I have seem to parse attachments anyway. You might have the mpack package . Its munpack command saves all parts of a MIME message into separate files, then all you have to do is save the interesting parts and clean up the rest. There's also metamail . An equivalent of munpack is metamail -wy .

performance - Single Threaded Qaud Core v.s Hyper-Threading Dual Core

Let's say we have two CPUs, One is Quad Core 3.2 Ghz with 4 Cores, and We have a Dual Core 3.2 Ghz with 2 Cores with 2 threads in each Core (Hyper-Threading). My assumption as a programmer will be, the 4 cores 4 threads should perform faster than 2 cores 4 threads since the second CPU needs to switch between threads in order to emulate 4 cores while the first one doesn't need to perform such switching as each core can perform independently and individually. I want to confirm that my assumption is true, if not please explain why one is better than the other. Answer I do believe thats true - since hyper threading does share some elements - specifically the main execution resources, you'll be able to run 4 full threads at once, rather than waiting for those resources to be freed up. The point of HT is to get better performance with a smaller use of die area - your quad core would generally be a bigger chip - say almost twice as large, than a non HT dual core chip, while a HT...

freeze - How do I stop windows 8.1 from freezing when the screen locks

This happens to me on a regular basis if I leave the computer for upwards of 10 minutes. It didnt do so at first but started after a couple of days. This is possibly related to further windows updates although nothing seems to tie in obviously when looking at my update history. I have to hold the power button in to power off. If the screens have switched off aswell they wont come back on, if they haven't I see the login picture and can move the mouse pointer but nothing happens and no combination of keyboard mashes or mouse clicks lets me see the login prompt. In the event log (type event viewer into the start menu) under system before every Critical problem (me powering down the machine without restarting) I get distributedCOM errors talking about this guid: "The server {BF6C1E47-86EC-4194-9CE5-13C15DCB2001} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout." I also get the same error for this 1B1F472E-3221-4826-97DB-2C2324D389AE. This seems to be a common theme and...
