In that case, you may either put all the subst commands in your autoexec.bat file or download the free psubst utility - its just like the subst command but creates permanent virtual drives that will live even after a reboot. If you find the command prompt a little geeky, check the Visual Subst tool that not only adds a nice GUI to subst but also create persistent drives.
The SUBST command for DOS, IBM OS/2 and Microsoft Windows operating systems is a very useful command that allows the creation of virtual drives that maps to a specific folder on the hard disk. In other words, using SUBST you can create a virtual drive that shows up on My Computer or Explorer like any physical drive, but in reality is just a shortcut to a folder on the disk.
Virtual Drive Creator is like SUBST with a GUI
A lesser known feature of Windows 10 is the ability to create a virtual drive from a folder. This will add a new hard drive to the This PC folder, with a dedicated drive letter. Opening the drive in File Explorer will display the contents of the source folder located in the root folder of the drive.
Drives that were created using subst remain available during your user session, or until you unmount a virtual drive manually. Restarting, shutting down the PC or signing out from your user account will destroy virtual drives, and you will need to re-create them to use them again.
Tip: You can make Windows 10 mount a folder to a virtual drive every time you sign in to your user account. This can be useful if you have a software that looks for files under some hardcoded location, that is not available on your PC. Here's how.
Visual Subst is a free tiny portable tool for Windows that allows you to create virtual drives of folders with ease. It is the GUI version of the subst command in Windows.
After launching vSubst, select the desired drive letter to map the folder to, then click Add. A small dialog will popup where you can manually type the path or locate it with the Select button. The new mapping will immediately appear in the substituted folders list. Just highlight an entry and press Remove to delete the drive and free up the letter.
You can easily make your own batch script with just a couple of lines but this ready made script called Psubst is more Advanced. Its main purpose is to make drives mapped in Subst persistent so they survive a reboot. Use this script from Command Prompt or another script (run as administrator) like you would use Subst.
Checking the box at the bottom will silently run Visual Subst during startup to assign the drive letters. Delete the mapped drive with the X button or save any changes to a current mapping with the disc icon.
This next method has a couple of advantages over the Subst command. Not only does it add the mapped drive automatically on every boot, the drive letter is associated with the folder before any applications are launched. That means the drive letter can be used by other applications during boot. This option is not recommended for inexperienced users.
Enter the drive letter you want to map the folder to as Driveletter (including colon). For the path to the folder you can use either Localhost or the Computername like the method above. Make sure to use a dollar sign instead of a colon for Drive.
Thus, even though the mapped drive in this case is on your machine, the fact that that it is mapped as a network drive may cause windows to treat it as a drive mapped from another machine, with all of the attendant behavior that using a network drive entails.
To use VHDs produced by Disk2vhd, create a VM with the desiredcharacteristics and add the VHDs to the VM's configuration as IDE disks.On first boot, a VM booting a captured copy of Windows will detect theVM's hardware and automatically install drivers, if present in theimage. If the required drivers are not present, install them via theVirtual PC or Hyper-V integration components. You can also attach toVHDs using the Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 Disk Management orDiskpart utilities.
If there are folders that you access frequently, this post shows you how to quickly access these folders in Windows Explorer without having to enter the full path to the folder. We will discuss three ways to map folders to drive letters.
A disadvantage of using the subst command is that these virtual drives are temporary and will be removed as soon as you shutdown or restart the computer or log off. However, you can solve this by using the free psubst utility, which operates like the subst command but it creates permanent virtual drives that are persistent even after rebooting your computer.
If you want the virtual drives you defined available automatically when you start Windows, select the Apply virtual drives on Windows startup check box so there is a check mark in the box.
Mapping folders to drive letters can save you a lot of time and Visual Subst makes adding virtual drives easy. Visual Subst works in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and later versions of Windows including Windows 7, 8 and 10. Enjoy!
NOTE: We strive to manually replace licenses ASAP. If you cannot replace your registration key yourself (having done so more than once per year) and you need access to your server right away, it is recommended that you first set up a new Unraid trial with a new USB drive and then contact us to manually transfer your license.
If your Unraid boot device has failed, you have no recent backup and are not sure of their disk assignments it is very important that you do not assign a data disk as a parity drive as this will cause data loss as Unraid overwrites it with parity data thus destroying its contents. It can also happen if you accidentally use an old backup and have increased the size of your parity drive and have re-used the old parity drive from that time as a data drive.
Compared to RAID 1, RAID 0 provides additional storage because both disk drives are used to store data. The performance is improved because the read and write operation occurs in parallel within the two disk drives.
Use this procedure to configure the RAID level, strip size, host access privileges, drive caching, and initialization parameters on a virtual drive. You can also use this procedure to designate the drive as a hot spare drive and to make the drive bootable.
Use this procedure to rebuild a disk drive automatically. If one of the disk drives that is configured with RAID becomes degraded, and a new drive is plugged it, the rebuild process on the new drive starts automatically.
To migrate (reconstruct) the virtual drive to a new RAID level, you might need to add or remove physical drives. When you add or remove physical drives, the size of the virtual drive is either retained or increased.
You can retain or increase the size of the virtual drive, but you cannot decrease its size. For example, if you have two physical drives with RAID 0, you cannot migrate to RAID 1 with the same number of drives. Because with RAID 1, a mirrored set of disk drives are created, which reduces the size of the virtual drive to half of what it was before, which is not supported.
The following table lists the options that retain the size of the virtual drive and provides information about how many physical drives you must add or remove to migrate the virtual drive to a specific RAID level.
The following table lists the options that increase the size of the virtual drive and provides information about how many physical drives you must add or remove to migrate the virtual drive to a specific RAID level.
On a UCS-E160D-M2series server, if you want to run Windows with more than 2 TB of hard drivespace installed, follow the procedure explained in this section. There are twoways you can install W2K12: Using Legacy BIOS or using UEFI:
Visual Subst is a small tool which allows you to associate the most accessed directories with virtual drives. It uses the same API like console 'subst' utility, but makes it easier to create and remove virtual drives in a GUI way.
So virtual drives are objects of the operating system, and Visual Subst just can create, enumerate and delete these objects. All local MS-DOS device names are removed when the user is logging off. To handle this issue, Visual Subst saves the list of virtual drives into an INI-file and can load them the next time.
If you have a StandaloneInputModule component on a GameObject, and the Input System is installed, Unity shows a button in the Inspector offering to automatically replace it with a InputSystemUIInputModule for you. The InputSystemUIInputModule is pre-configured to use default Input Actions to drive the UI, but you can override that configuration to suit your needs.
Navigation input is non-positional, that is, unlike with pointer-type input, there is no screen position associcated with these actions. Rather, navigation actions always operate on the current selection.
Unlike the EventSystem component, you can have multiple MultiplayerEventSystems active in the Scene at the same time. That way, you can have multiple players, each with their own InputSystemUIInputModule and MultiplayerEventSystem components, and each player can have their own set of Actions driving their own UI instance. If you are using the PlayerInput component, you can also set up PlayerInput to automatically configure the player's InputSystemUIInputModule to use the player's Actions. See the documentation on PlayerInput to learn how.
Now you can run the command to create the virtual hard drive file that points to your desired physical drive. For each of the following examples ensure that you input the desired names between the arrows and replace the number or pound sign with your desired drive number.
Beginning in 1979, started by Steve Jobs and led by Jef Raskn, the Apple Lisa and Macintosh teams at Apple Computer (which included former members of the Xerox PARC group) continued to develop such ideas. The Lisa, released in 1983, featured a high-resolution stationery-based (document-centric) graphical interface atop an advanced hard disk based OS that featured such things as preemptive multitasking and graphically oriented inter-process communication. The comparatively simplified Macintosh, released in 1984 and designed to be lower in cost, was the first commercially successful product to use a multi-panel window interface. A desktop metaphor was used, in which files looked like pieces of paper, file directories looked like file folders, there were a set of desk accessories like a calculator, notepad, and alarm clock that the user could place around the screen as desired, and the user could delete files and folders by dragging them to a trash-can icon on the screen. The Macintosh, in contrast to the Lisa, used a program-centric rather than document-centric design. Apple revisited the document-centric design, in a limited manner, much later with OpenDoc. 2ff7e9595c
