When you reinstall it later one of my internal hard drives could not be accessed. If I go into MSDOS, I see the drive is there but are not accessible and cannot access or see on the GUI or under mycompuer. I don't know what happened when I rebooted windows xp on my pc. Apparently, he is not assigned a letter of access. is there a way to be able to access this new, and no formatting of the disc because the info is important

I'm not sure what you mean by "if I go into MSDOS or cmos I can see the drive but can't access it, ' but:

  • Make a right click my computer and select Manage
  • Click on the + next to 'Storage' to expand the category, then click on "disk management".
  • Right-click on the drive and assign a drive letter

  • How to access the hard drive USB on E3000? Am I missing something?

    I have my router configuration fine to the internet, as well as the media server.  I can't understand how to access the hard drive of my laptop, however.  The manual says to put 192.168.1.1 in the field the address of windows Explorer, but it gives me just the 'Setup' page for the router.

    Am I missing something simple?  I use Windows XP.

    Click on start - go to start > Run/start search and type "\\192.168.1.1" (without the quotes) and press on enter and it should ask the user name and password, the user name and password, use "admin" all lower case, and then click Ok... Now you should be able to see your USB... You must make a right click on it and select "Map network drive" and check the Enable box and below click Finish... It will map the USB on your computer... Once done, you will be able to send and receive data from your computer to the USB...

  • I am trying to access my hard drive for some records and my file photo in windows vista after it has been formatted.

    My laptop after runing battery accident, I cannot restore and re-installed was the only solution, I thought I had backup all files, but my photo files is missing and an other files that were in my office. I need assistance to access the hard drive if possible, I said it can be done.

    If you formatted the drive and reinstalled Vista, data is almost certainly lost to conventional methods of recovery...

    You can try this program:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/Recuva.html

    Recuva is a file undeletion tool that allows you to analyze your hard drives or media cards for files that have been deleted or formatted. It presents you a list of files that have been found, as well as an assessment of their potential for recovery, a preview option, and a hex viewer to inspect the content. You can limit your search to files of a certain type (e.g. images, audio etc.) and choose between a quick and a thorough analysis approach. The program also includes a secure deletion option that allows you to permanently delete files that were found while parsing, to avoid any future recoveries.

    If the above does not resolve the problem, you will need to contact the Date recovery Experts.
    Be warned: they are very $$$

    See you soon.

    The easiest way is to use a USB to SATA or IDE USB adapter. (most of the adapters offer both).

    Here is an example

    I'm trying to access a hard drive using Windows XP on a portable computer that uses Windows 7. I continue to turn in "inaccessible" and "you don't have the required permissions. When I plug the hard drive via USB to an another computer XP it works fine. I can't find a Security tab allows to work with. I searched and checked other forums who have discussions on this subject and the answers do not help. I'm looking for a free way access.

    Originally, none of this has worked. I had accidentally figured it out. I opened it while on a XP computer and now it appears in Windows 7. I still have no idea why.

  • Qosmio - how to access the HARD drive?

    Anyone know how I could access the HARD disk without having to start the RAID... How could restore data by using the HARD drive as a USB device?

    Thank you
    Mike

    You want to remove the internal HARD drive and want to connect it as external device using an external HARD drive enclosure?

    In this case you will need an external SATA USB controller because the Qosmio G30 supports SATA drives.

  • Portege M300 (PPM30A) - lost access to HARD drive recovery

    Portege M300 model PPM30A-02E001.
    At some point during the installation a Sony camera I lost access to my hidden partition (HDDRECOVERY) where I can make the recovery disks.

    I can see it in disk management tools, but the link is missing.

    Is there a way I can make the link? "Brand recovery disc" icon is gone as well.

    Please, I beg you.

    Hello

    Wait a moment, please: why you write about on the hidden partition HARD drive recovery? I think you mixed up something!
    On Vista and Windows 7, there is a hidden partition, but it has nothing to do with the option HDDrecovery from Toshiba. This on the hidden partition is a feature of Windows, also called Windows recovery environment!

    Normally HDDrecovery files are stored on the second partition in a file of the same name. Can you access the second partition?

    If this isn't the case, I think the only chance is to order a new recovery disk. Therefore, you must contact the service provider authorized in your country.

  • Refusal of the WORKSTATION to access external hard drive window

    Hello

    I can't access an external hard drive (WD My Book Home Edition). The problem happened when I disconnected my external drive from my Win XP Pro computer and plugged into another Win XP Home computer that had another WD external drive attached to it. Both my drive ext as wel as the other disk ext became inaccessible. I disconnected my 2nd computer ext drive and connected to computer Win XP pro that I always use. However even though my computer recognizes the drive I have noticed that the icon WD changed to a regular folder icon and whenever I try to open it, it says drive H is inaccessible. I also noticed that the folder icon was the same as the 2nd ext drive connected to the computer Win XP Home. I tried the microsoft bulletin:
    "This article describes how to capture a file or folder to which you are denied.
    I décliqués the "simplified" sharing and set permissions on a shared folder. "" After that it gives information about the ownership of the folder as follows:
    To take ownership of a folder, follow these steps: right - click the folder you want to take control and then click Properties.
    1. Click on the Security tab, and then click OK in the security message (if one appears).
    2. Click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.
    3. In the name list, click on your user name , or click on administrator , if you are logged in as administrator, or click the Administrators group. If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the check box Replace owner of subcontainers and objects.
    4. Click OKand then click Yes when you receive the following message is displayed:
      You are not allowed to read the contents of the directory folder name . Do you want to replace the the directory permissions with permissions granting you full control?

      All permissions will be replaced if you click Yes.

      Note folder name is the name of the folder you want to take charge.

    5. Click OK, and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents.
    I can not follow these directions as I do not have a visible security tab. I was able to save things to my ext drive but cannot access it from the my computer window. I am therefore able to see the contents of the disc in the 'SAVE AS' window. Given that I'm not very good at the computer stuff can someone give me step by step instructions on how to access my drive hard Ext. window "WORKSTATION". Thank you in advance.
