I am trying to install some GPS software off the disk supplied but it can not find my "C" drive. I click on "start" and "explore" and I find MY COMPUTER 3 1/2 Floppy (A The GPS CD in (D DVD-RW Drive (E BackUp Drive (f Main Drive (I I have an external Hard drive F with 316GB free on 465 GB and Main Drive I with 55GB Free on 149GB I got this answer from Garmin but I can't make it work. Perhaps I am using a period at the end of my comouter name or some other step I am missing? I got this instruction from Garmin but I still may not be getting the steps correctly: You can try this. It uses a Windows command called Net Use. It allows you to map a virtual drive to a specific folder on a computer. How to use it: Create a new folder and give it a name. For example Monkeys Get the name of your computer. Right click on My Computer/Computer, select Properties, select the Computer Name tab. Open a command prompt by going to the Start menu, selecting Run then entering cmd. For Vista, just type cmd. Type net use desired_drive_letter: \\computername\drive_the_folder_is_on$\folder_name Example net use C: \\OCC20148\C$\monkeys created a C drive on my computer using the Monkeys folder I created. Run the Trip and waypoint manager disk again. My silly questions include: Where should I create the "Garmin" folder? I have a computer name. something with numbers and codes so I tried to cut, copy and paste the name after the black box opened I found my "Garmin" folder which has this address: I:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Garmin So, I go to CMD, the little black box opens and shows: I\Documents and Setting\Administrator So I tried this: I\Documents and Settings \ Administrator \ C:\\My Computers name\ OCC20148\C$\Garmin Then I hit the 'enter' key Then I put in the Garmin CD and when I run it, I get the same problem. SO, what step did I miss in this process. If you can I need really K.S.S.S.++ instructions! Thanks!!! If there is anyway to show screen shots I can follow that would help too. Thanks a lot!

If I understand you correctly, Windows is installed on your I: drive. If this the case, try this: net use c: \\YourComputerName\i$ The above will create a second drive letter (C:) for your I: drive so you'll literally have a C: drive that points to your I: drive. Since the GPS software is insisting upon installing on the C: drive, you'll probably have to reconnect the C: drive every time you want to use the program. If you find this to be true, you can use the following modified net use command: net use c: \\YourComputerName\i$ /persistent:yes This will cause the C: drive to be connected automatically every time you logon to Windows. -- kptech

Rats, still no luck am I typing it incorrectly? This is what I tried to follow: I:\\Documents and Settings\Administrator>net use C: \\Flintlock-1776\C$\GarminGPS All I get is network name can not be found. Sorry I am so dense but I can't figure this out. Your help is appreciated.

When you "net use C: ...", you are creating the C: drive. You are trying to use the share name (c$) of a non-existent drive. -- You haven't created it yet. If I understood you correctly, the GarminGPS folder is actually on the I: drive. If so, you need to use the command like this: I:\\Documents and Settings\Administrator>net use C: \\Flintlock-1776\I$\GarminGPS This will create a C: drive pointing to I:\GarminGPS In other words, when you change to the C: drive and type: dir <enter> You will see the contents of the I:\GarminGPS folder. -- kptech

FYI, next time you install Windows remove all USB drives including flash drives and card readers. If you want things to be right you may need to re-install Windows.
