• "Access denied" error XP trying to access an external hard drive used on Windows 7

  Hello

  I used my external hard drive as usual on my XP machine for months, but yesterday I had to use it on another computer running Windows 7. Windows 7 asked something like "do you want to enable access to this hard drive?" and I clicked Yes thinking that it wouldn't cause any problems (showed a green bar that drains into the upper part of the window), but now that I'm trying to use it again on my XP machine I get an access denied error such as permissions changed. I just installed service pack 3, but which did not help.

  Help it would be greatly appreciated the fixing, I'm happy to just continue to use the external drive on my XP machine - use it on other Windows 7 machine was just one time.

  Thank you!

• Tecra M11 has a trap door for access to the hard drive?

  Can someone tell me if the Tecra M11 is equipped with a door to provide access to the hard drive?

  Previous Tecras have such a door, but I can't say for some photos of the site Web or the M11 manual if this still applies. I need to know before ordering.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  I do not use homegroups, but 'true' to share, so I don't know how this is supposed to work with homegroups. But usually he should share a drive or folder, first before you can access it from another machine. (for example, click on the drive/folder properties and go to the sharing tab)

• Access to file denied external hard drive?

  My old notebook crashed so I took out my hard drive and put it in a NexStar 2.5 enclosure.  I was running XP Home on my old laptop, but the new laptop that I bought a Vista Home Basic.
  I can't get any of my image files or music library to open.  Every time he tells me that I don't have permission.  I tried opening every folder and file separately and change the security permission, but it still not open them.  I just get the same warning "permission denied."
  Help, please!

  Hi Zuma1978,

  You may need to change the permissions of folders or files. Please see the link below for more information on this topic:

  Folder and file permissions

  Here are the steps to change the ownership and permissions:

  1. Right-click on the file or folder, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.
  2. Click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.
  3. Click Edit, and then do one of the following:

  ·         To change the owner to a user or group that is not listed, click other users and groups , in area enter the object name to select (examples), type the name of the user or group, and then click OK.

  ·         To change the owner to a user or group that appears in the area of change of ownership to , click the new owner.

  4. If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the check box Replace owner of subcontainers and objects .

  5. click OKand then click Yes when you receive the following message is displayed:

  You are not allowed to read the contents of 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.

  6. click on OKand then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents.

  Additional considerations

  • An administrator can take ownership of any file on the computer.
  • Affecting the ownership of a file or a folder might require that raise you your permissions using user access control.

  I hope that these steps will help. Please get back to us with your results so that we can help you if necessary.

• 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!

• User with limited XP Home Edition privleges can not access an external hard drive

  I can't set up an external hard drive in Windows XP Home Edition so that a user who has 'Limited' privleges can access.  The user receives the access denied message.  I tried to configure this by starting in safe mode.  I shared the unit with everyone.  If I'm the administrator user then it can access the drive.  The troubling question is that this system has been configured with the user having limited privleges as well as access to the external drive in the past.  I recently removed Norton antivirus and replaced by MS Security Essentials and I'm so glad I did.  But now it's problem arose.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  You probably just need to change permissions for access of the disk and/or subfolders.  The following article describes how to do this:

  "How to set, view, change, or remove special permissions for files and folders in Windows XP"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308419 >

  The bad news is that this article was written for XP Pro and you have XP Home.  This means that the 'Security' tab, which is at the heart of the management of permissions is not present during the implementation of the properties of file or a folder on your computer. (Or y at - it an option to disable Simple file sharing).  The good news is that if you start your computer in safe mode (repeatedly tap the F8 key when your computer starts) and log on as a user with administrator privileges, you can then obtain access to the security"" tab.  Once you have access to this tab, you can give "Everyone" permission to all of the disk if you wish.  Once you set the permissions as you like them, you can restart your machine in Normal mode.

• Access denied to my drive H: on windows vista. How to regain access?

• Access to the hard drive internal

  Hello

  I currently have two hard drives in my PC. An SSD that manages windows and various other programs etc. In addition, another hard drive. call it a storage disk. At the moment it is accessible by any user of the PC. I was wondering if there is a way to limit disk storage of said access to individual logons? Thus, for example, if has and B were at the PC users... user A could see their files and not user B? Pretty much the same premise as a logon to their own profile and be able to only see their own stuff.

  Or is it possible to simply restrict the said walk completely one user?

  Any advice would be much appreciated!

  Thank you!

  Right-click any folder on the external drive, then click Properties, click the Security tab. Now, add or remove user names in the list at the top according to your needs.

  Warning: do not place the tick marks in the deny column. This is likely to have unintended consequences.

• Location of the bookmarks on an old hardrive that is not Windows, running but the old hard disk files are accessed through another hard drive.

  The old hard disk does not run Windows, so access to the usual file through Windows Explorer or Firefox has not worked for me. The old hard drive is now a slave drive and all files are intact and accessible via the new Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

  You have Windows configured to display the hidden files and folders? If not, do it as soon as the first. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=Windows-7

  Then, what version of Windows do you have on the old drive? Your profile folder must be on the way there:

  Windows XP and earlier versions:

  \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  Windows Vista and later:

  \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  If you find multiple profile folders, see the recent order. You find a subfolder named bookmarkbackups. This article describes how to restore the .json files, you will find: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer.
