SSD = Too Fast for Mapped Network Drives (HELP)

So basically I updated to an SSD. Its super fast, how ever each time I restart my computer I get an error that the network drives couldn't be loaded because basically my computer is loading too fast. I get an annoying message each time and I have to double click my network drive so it connects.

The main reason this sucks is because my uTorrent is set to auto start and all the files need to be re-checked.

Anybody have any idea's on how to prevent this?

 

If possible, and only if you have time could you make a batch file to map the drive along with launch utorrent a few seconds after?

Then ill just unmap them and make utorrent not auto start. They will auto disconnect after each shut down correct and re-connect after with the batch file?

Its setup the map these two folders:

\\SIMPUHL\music (NAMED Music)
\\SIMPUHL\video (Named Movies)

uTorrent is located in
C:\Program Files (x86)\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe

 

Seems to be working great, is there anyway to run the window hidden?

Also "EXIT" doesn't seem to work once I had it load utorrent.

 

start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe" /MINIMIZED

seems to work a little better. ill test and post full results in a few

 

OK!!! This is exactly how I have it and it works great. The .bat file is located in the startup for all users folder.

Code:

@Echo Off
Title Map network drives




:: This will map the 2 locations shown to the drive letters, non-permanent.
:: Where M: is for Music and V: is for Video's
NET USE Y: \\SIMPUHL\music /persistent:no
NET USE X: \\SIMPUHL\video /persistent:no




:: Now ping your own computer for a few seconds to allow time to connect...
:: Where /n 10 sets the count
:: Optional... write >nul onto the end of the command for no visual output...


:: If you find the drives are not mapping still due to speed of SSD, then place a ping at the start of the batch file!!!
:: This way the network interface has had time to load.
:: Ping 127.0.0.1 /n 10




:: Now load up uTorrent
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe" /MINIMIZED




:: Exit the batch file...
EXIT

My last question is, if there was an ERROR, and the drives did not map (network drive is off etc etc) is there anyway to make it PAUSE and NOT open utorrent?

 

Hmm

I can try this

or the ping thing your saying. Im headed to work ill play around once I am home

 

so just add that 1 line and im good? ima turn off my server and try it. hope i dont have to "recheck all my files". Theres no way for it to keep trying to connect until it does and then proceed to open utorrent?

 

it paused and said press any key to continue which is good. but I accidentally continued and fked myself lol. if i change &&pause to &&exit would it skip that completely? and close instead of opening utorrent since it errored and I don't want it to now?

 

Hey thank you so much, ill try this tomorrow morning and let you know if everything works out. this forum and the people are amazing.

 

Hmm, its not connecting with my admin rights... any idea how to make it connect using a username and password

 

I had to use this:

Code:

@Echo Off
Title Map network drives


for /l %%x in (1,1,5) do (NET USE M: \\SIMPUHL\music /USER:USER PASSWORD /persistent:no


IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 GOTO :PROCEED1)


:Exit after loop if failure after 5x
ECHO There was a problem connecting the drive.&pause&exit


:PROCEED1
for /l %%y in (1,1,5) do (NET USE V: \\SIMPUHL\video /USER:USER PASSWORD /persistent:no
IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 GOTO :PROCEED2)


:Exit after loop if failure after 5x
ECHO There was a problem connecting the drive.&pause&exit


:PROCEED2
IF NOT EXIST M:\* EXIT
IF NOT EXIST V:\* EXIT


start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe" /MINIMIZED

 

s**t, you changed my drive letters and fked me lol. re-checking 300 torrents. ahahha.

I fixed them though. This should work then.

 

I do, I just had put the SSD on and restarted and noticed the error. It annoyed me so I wanted to fix it lol. This comp has been on for like 7 months straight
