Hello guys,
I've been having an issue with mounting a USB drive on my laptop, and I was hoping someone could help me more than google has.
The two drives I have attempted to mount are:
1) Samsung 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Fit (MUF-64BB/AM)
2) SanDisk Ultra Fit 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive - SDCZ43-128G-GAM46
OS = Windows 7.
Laptop USB = 3.0 and 2.0 ports (mounting unsuccessful in both)
Every time I attempt to "Mount in the following empty NTFS folder" on either of the drives, I get the error from Virtual Disk Manager, "The parameter is incorrect." The error does NOT say that the drive in inaccessible or anything like that. It simply says "The parameter is incorrect," and nothing more.
The goal I am attempting to achieve is to mount a USB drive and place my Dropbox folder in it, so that Dropbox doesn't have to sync to my laptop's main hard drive. I was able to successfully mount a USB drive in the past, but that drive died and ever since, I have been unable to mount any drive from any of the USB ports on my laptop.
Steps I have attempted in order to solve the issue:
1) Running chkdisk /f /r on the drive to repair any errors. Result: No errors found. Problem still persists.
2) Reformatting the drive using the integrated Windows Disk Management interface (reformatting using NTFS for obvious reasons). Result: Reformat successful. Problem still persists.
I have done extensive google searches and nearly every site/blog/etc says some variation of the same two steps I listed above and neither step works for me at all. I have not been able to mount any drive since the first time I mounted a drive on this laptop.
Does anyone have any other suggestions to help me solve this issue?
All help is greatly appreciated!
