Access denied drive C

I have an 'Access denied' tag on my C drive and can not use it at all. Cannot use office etc. and programs does not load?

Problem solved!

  • Access denied on USB drives

    I just bought a new HP ProBook 450 G1... running Windows 7... I inserted a USB stick to copy some of the files on my another computer and got the Windows Messgae "You have currently access to open this folder", then I press the button "continue' and get the message"you have refused permission to access this folder", and he says"to access this folder, you use the Security tab.

    I click on the link to the 'security' tab, but there is not any tab 'security' in the Properties menu for the flash player.

    My connection is the administrator and checked all access "."

    I also tried other flash drives and USB hard drive, and has been denied access on each of them.

    Not sure if this is a Windows 7 problem or a problem with the HP software pre-loaded, which I probably will unistall, but is waiting to see if you have an easy solution for this?

    It was the pre-installed "HP Device Manager" causing the denied access.

    For some reason, as a first step, good ball messages were not disaplayed, but later, after a few restart, I noticed the message.

    So I uninstalled it and I now access external drives... of course do not need that hassle to enter my password every time I attach a flash or external hard drive driver (and it only giving me access for 15 minutes).

    Maybe there is a way to change the settings in the HP Device Manager... but people don't have the time!

  • USB - external hard drive WD My Book 1230 is not recognized (Code 28 - access denied)

    Problem started with the purchase of a an external 4 TB My Book Western Digital drive.

    I bought this second external drive for backup on a fully functional IDENTICAL existing WD my book 1230 4 Tb.

    My PC is a HP Pavilion e9180f running under Windows 7 64-bit.

    The new external drive is not recognized by the PC... I get the error message

    Device driver software was not successfully installed

    Please consult the manufacturer of your device to help get this device installed

    My book 1230 X failed

    When I put the driver (with admin rights) I get the error message

    Windows encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device.

    Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it (USB Mass Storage Devive - access denied)

    I tried the HDD not recognized on a HP Envy laptop running Windows 8 and it is recognized and work very well (if the disk is OK).

    As a possible solution, I downloaded and installed the driver for the WD HARD drive without erasing the situation.

    I tried to plug the WD My Book 1230 on all existing 7 port USB of the PC and the situation still exist.

    In Device Manager the defective WD My Book 1230 appears under the category "other devices."

    I tried the Microsoft Mr.Fixit running without correcting the problem.

    You have a trick to help me solve the problem.

    Thank you.

    Unfortunately, your procedure has not worked as the device could not be uninstalled from the Device Manager.

    As I prepared to reinstall Windows 7, I gathered information from Control Panel - programs.

    I did a search by the most recent dates, and I realized that an Application has been installed and I was not aware that I installed it.

    The cause of my 9 day long search for a solution was a malicious program called Manager of adjustment by the AZTECS.

    Removing and restarting desktop cured the problem.

    Now all USB devices, including my Western Digital My Book 1230 are recognized.

    Thanks for your advice, support and everything.

    It is a "case closed" with a happy ending :-)

  • "Access denied" error on all hard drives external and MagicDisc

    I just purchased a Lenovo B575 running Win7 Home Premium and I'm very frustrated that I can't access my external hard drives, which are essential to my work. I get the error "Access denied" the normal start, but I'm able to use disks normally in safe mode. Here are some of the things I've tried:

    -Change the permissions/ownership after normal startup: does not work. Windows doesn't let me change the permissions or ownership, even if my single user account is set to administrator.

    -Change the permissions and ownership in safe mode: I found a solution online saying "Everyone" to add to the list of users in the Security tab. It works * temporary *, until I unplug my hard drives. When I plug back them, it's back to square one.

    -Install MagicDisc to access some files I saved in the form of ISO images: MagicDisc seems to work very well and load images normally... but also, I get the error "Access denied" when you try to open the drive in Explorer.

    -USB flash drives: same problem.

    -Other erratic behavior: one of my USB drives will not stop read/write as soon as I plug. I don't know if it's the McAfee antivirus analysis each of millions of files that I have on this subject, or if something else is happening.

    I had NONE of these issues on my old Acer and HP to my friend has no problem loading my readers. If I can't find a solution soon, I'll be forced to return this laptop that I need to access my work files.

    I lost my patience all yesterday and not the OneKey Rescue, restore my system to nine. Then, I named my new laptop of the same name that my old (relevant at all?). He immediately provoked a hard drive to work. The 750 GB it does not work yet, but I changed the permissions AND ownership to "Everyone" in SafeMode... now it seems to work correctly. No problem with other removable disks.

    That they are related or not, I have not initialized or changed some settings on the programs supplied with the laptop. My guess is that port Locker has something to do with the question I had - even if it has been disabled before. I'm uninstalling as I did not need. BioExcess, face recognition... everything goes down the drain. These should be optional, not enabled by default. Too many background services! I'm disabling a bunch of unnecessary stuff.

  • I have a drive mapped to the network, but the icon is located in a folder. I get access denied when I click on the drive.

    I have a drive mapped to the network, but (My Computer) icon is a folder. I get access denied when I click on the drive. But if I open windows Explorer, I can access the drive mapped without problems. Win Xp

    original title: mapped drive error.

    Hello

    Make sure that the mapped drive is configured to share and works on part.

    Auto-mappage will not work if there is a problem with sharing.

    Maybe this can help.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted

    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  • External hard drive problems - we have most of the files to get a message "access denied."

    USB connected external hard drive was used with XP.  For a small period of time, we had to connect to a machine from W7.  Now that we are back to the XP machine, we have most of the files to get a message "access denied."  How we fix the problem.  The files are images, videos or music.

    Try this,

    Start in safe mode.
    Open your computer and right click on your external hard drive.
    Go to properties.
    Click Security.
    Click on Edit under a quote "to change permissions, click on change."
    Click on Add.
    Type in "everyone" in the white box.
    Then check in the box "total control".
    Press OK.

    This makes the hard drive usable by everyone (all users and different computers)

    I hope this helps.

  • To access the files and folders from the hard drive Windows 7 on Windows XP, access denied error message.

    Original title: portable destroyed - need for car access

    I don't know if this is the right forum - please advice if it is not.

    My friend's laptop computer was destroyed in a car accident. I pulled the drive and placed it in my desktop XP system and the drive appear in good health. However, I received permission issues trying to access records on the disk and thought that it was because of me using Win XP and the laptop was Win7x64. My questions below are based on the assumption that I'm not able to access these files on my Win XP system. If this assumption is incorrect, so please let me know.

    I have a laptop that I don't use and put the disk in it. I was hoping it would be plug and play all the new material, but after reading a little online, I know that this is not the best thing to do and will probably not work as did the earlier versions of Windows.

    In the end, I care retrieves the contents of the disc, although it would be great if I could lend my laptop for a few weeks with "its files" until it sorts how to replace the laptop.

    Can I get the player Win7x64 working on the laptop computer of replacement by reinstalling Win7x64 on this laptop? I'm not "means a clean install/reformat, but have rather the Setup program detects an existing installation, and do its magic to get the operating system runs on new hardware?"

    I know that this raises questions of MS licenses. If the installation process could get his old system running on the laptop replacement, if I have a small window of time completely to access his files before being forced to re-register the OS? I'm hoping so.

    I'm looking for only a short-term solution - I do not recommend that he hopes that drive long term because the laptop got quite truncated of the accident, and once he gets a new laptop it will have everything he needs on this subject (OS, licenses, etc.). If I have a small window of time where I can simply copy their important files, or to lend him my laptop with its player and him can bring to its domestic network and the print out of all the things that are important, that it's going to be all together to move them to a new laptop when it is available.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You experience this problem because of the permissions applied to these s folder.  To resolve this problem, you will need to take ownership of these files and folders.

    Method 1: You can follow the steps mentioned in the link below to take possession of the records

    Method 2:  You can try a custom installation (not a format\clean facility).

    See the link below for custom installation
    using the install option custom without formatting the hard drive

    Note: In custom installation only data would be transferred in Windows. Drivers, applications and the old folder will need to be reinstalled.
