• Access denied on hard drive

  with a portable hard drive attached to my desktop (it is attached at this time). When I double click on the harddive it is said that the L:\ is not accessible. access is denied. Here is some info I have.  How can I access the hard disk.

  Device Manager

  Capacity 305244

  for disc 1-recovery (m :)) 10.75 NTFS healthy (primary partition).) Partition_1 (l) 287.33 NTFS healthy (active, primary Partition)

  When I double click on the drive to access I
  "the location is unavailable" Vista "access denied."

  -the total size and free space of the disk (L) does not appear. However, the recovery of that disk partition shows still its size and space (m).

  I took the boat owner and I still have the same problem.  To make sure I did it right.
  I right click on the hard L drive
  Click the Security tab
  Click on continue
  Click on system and Admisistrators (I did for both, just in case)
  checked the box for full control, increase, read and execute, display the contents of the folder, read, write

  Sill gettting a message that says
  Location is not available
  L:\ is not accessible.
  Access is denied.

  Help, please

  original title: double-click the hard drive to access it I get__ "location is not available" "access denied."

  The fact that the total size and the use of the drive does not appear suggests that may not be connected correctly.  Check your connections (unplug them and reconnect them - don't tighten them just straight up).  Also, make sure you use the right connection cables.  When connected, you can see the Drive and the drive M in Windows Explorer - you should even if access is denied when you try to open?  You can access drive M?  If you do not see the drives in Windows Explorer there is more here than a simple permissions problem.

  Here is some information on getting the right permissions and ownership (which, moreover, you do not have the procedure that you used).

  To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista:http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/. To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

  To solve this problem with folders/drives, takeownership files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html. To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

• Access denied to external drive

  I have an external drive, which works perfectly well. But I've just updated from vista to W7, and now I can not access the disk from that specific computer. I get access denied. On the properties, all users have full access. And the funny part is on my other computer, with the exact same OS, the drive works perfectly. So, I expect that there is a setting that I didn't know.
  Is there someone with good ideas on how to solve this problem?

• Access denied on USB keys and external

  I am running Windows 7 Professional.  I have 2 keys USB, that both worked when I first came to this computer.  I have an external passport that worked when I first came to this computer.

  Now, when I Plug one of them, it gives me a prompt message 'Access denied' and says something about a Security tab.  When I click on this message, there is no available security tab.  I have important things about the Lord as I do for my college work.

  Someone get to the right answer, please.

  In addition, I have games like my flight simulators that worked on another computer with Windows 7 Professional... and on this computer, they won't work.  Same operating system... different results.

  This becomes very scary!

• Access denied update printer driver

  I just bought a HP6520 that can connect to my network. I can install the full software from HP, but when I try to install the printer on my PC it tells me that I have to update the driver.

  I can download the latest drivers via Device Manager, but when I try to install I get Windows has encountered a problem... Access denied.

  Would appreciate much help

  Hi CaroleWest,

  Thanks for getting back to me!

  I would first of all make sure the account that you are logged as an administrator account. This link will help you to do.

  Then, run this Microsoft, attach it to the tool which will help you to uninstall or install the printer.

  If it is possible for you to try to install the printer on another computer, do so. This will confirm if the problem is with your operating system or printer. If the printer has a problem, the installation will not work on another computer either.

  Alternatively, you can try to re-setup of the printer using the printer HP install wizard for Windows.

  If it still does not no matter what magic, try to disable your firewall (for example, McAfee or Norton) during the installation where it is what blocks the installation.

  I hope that does the trick!

  Keep me posted and I'll get back to you as soon as I can

• Set security on 'Decline' for users of Windows/object, cannot access a drive C and d. 'Access denied'-[[problem solved]]

  last updated *.

  Problem is SOLVED. Read my response at the bottom of this thread.

  * Update *.

  Solved for drive D as now but it is still not accessible. Help the Microsoft Experts kindly. By clicking on the C drive, I got "access denied."

  Hello world.

  I need help. I have windows 8, 64 bit computer laptop.  This system has 3 active accounts now. Account_One that is my administrator account. I have another

  "limited account" created on my machine Account_two and the third one is "Guest account" account that is enabled.

  Before you lend my cell phone to a friend in Account_two login I tried to restrict access to drives C and D of this Account_two which is a limited account.

  While I was doing it, I put approval for object 'Windows users' 'decline '. This object is usually the last in the list of objects on the window that appears when we sail to click with the right button on C drive > properties > Security. I realized that instead of

  for Account_two I did for Windows users / which means maybe Windows/users / * which covered my admin account too and that too on the drive root C.

  When I connected to my Account_one account that is an administrator account, I'm not able to access drive C and D where I put the authorization of 'decline' for all the attributes as shown above to object/Windows users.

  One of the folder that was on my desktop allows me to go inside the d drive as I kept this shortcut for easy access, but there is no way to navigate from c or d ' training on domestic issues. Not just me even Windows can not access important services such as 'Restore' and many others built in utilities of windows which simply will not charge blinking message windows has no access to it!

  Please help how to access drive C and D for my administrator account. I am connected to this account now, but can not access drive C or d. when I go to the Security tab in the drive C and D right click Properties I get the screen it as: you must have read allowed to view the properties of this object. Click Advanced to continue. When I click on advanced, I see the "advanced security settings for local disk (d :)), where the owner is presented as: unable to display current owner."  Exchange (Link) when I click on 'Change' I get the error message: cannot open access control editor access is denied.

  So I put the Windows/user object to "deny" on the tab security for all read and writes, and I'm not able to access anything whatsoever since my administrator account.

  Please let me know how to change access to 'allow' for c and D drive for the object user/Windows. From now there is no way to access this object by result cannot set permissions there.

  Help, please.

  Thank you very much.

  Thank you very much.

  Problem is SOLVED!

  After three days of effort I was finally able to fix this mess.  It took me three days after going through many similar positions as mine but no final answer or fix, so I kept

  through the 'access denied' messages on this community and won an idea on what

  had happened and what needed to be done. What I found that there are several hundred people

  like me, who have faced this problem and there is no final official help file to explain how to fix

  He IS but he MICROSFT official 'support chat' where they ask for $149 to connect remotely and difficulty

  the problem!

  in any case, here's how I solved my problem for people who need to fix it in case it happens to you.

  How the problem began; Read my original post above on top. In short, I set the security setting to refuse to

  Users of Windows/under the Security tab that comes after a right click drive then properties > Security. I put it and lost access to all readers!

  How I fixed it.

  Thanks to some nice people on this page of the community who have posted knowledge. A man had displayed the creation of "Administrator" "guest account of orders that I did now, I could sign out of my account and get on the 'Administrator' account with admin privileges so that I could fix it the mess on my account problem. So if you have similar problem first create the command prompt administrator account. However this only solved the problem partially as I could reverse the problem only on drive D and not on the drive C. I was able to go to security settings and set the properties 'allow' for drive D, but I was not able to read the page of security for drive C as he said I haven't read privilege he even newly created admin account.

  Now if I needed the "Access denied" problem on drive C. I continued through messages of so many "access denied" here and discovered about utilities like SFC, TAKEOWN, ICACLS, but none of them worked from the command prompt I always said "access denied."

  Thing was to take the mouse to the right of the screen and get this blue bar, then settings > change PC settings > General - Advanced startup-press the button -. Then he made up the blue screen, where you have the option called troubleshooting... go there and then advanced setting > look to start Windows from the command prompt. Do you have a command prompt with C:\windows\system32 on the command prompt. Here, my order was accepted both takeown and icacls. If I shot a command there: TAKEOWN /F /R C:\/a and I also tried icacls to give permissions after checking using the syntax on the command line itself. All commands ran successfully this time, but be careful what you give in the command. It's under a lien high built based on the account of Windows 8.

  Takeown command executed successfully and it solved my problem. I leave the command prompt then connected to this administrator account. This time, I could go to the Security tab of the C drive and set allow it for users here. Still on some issues, I was getting no access permission, but I was asked to change it to allow me to access to and I was able to do.

  For access to the C drive on the Security tab, you need to go to the 'Advanced' and change the owner too.

  in any case I'm happy this is finally resolved even if I wasn't getting much help responds I used the previous positions of other threads to solve.

  Since he was not an official help of WINDOWS or MICROSOFT on that page, I'm sure I did the security setting while making the methods of trial and error on my machine which may not be the right setting from the point of view of security in general, so I'll try to reset the default state machine as my problem is now solved.

  So I fixed it. If you need help let me know and I'll try to help you, and I do not charge $149 or $99.  ;-)

• El Capitan - Ext. USB Drive not mounting

  Since the upgrade to El Capitan, I have not been able to access my external USB drive. I read the other posts about this problem and none of their solutions worked for me. Through repeated trial and error, I came across a solution that allowed me to access my USB drive in El Capitan. By attaching a USB hub to USB port and your device your drive should become accessible. Depending on what type of car you join you may need a powered hub. I enclose a mSATA drive to a hub powered and well.

  Hi Bob, there.

  Looks like you're having connect your USB drive to a hub so that it works with your computer. I would reset your PRAM then your SMC in this order:

  How to reset the NVRAM on your Mac.

  Then:

  Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

  If the problem persists after that I have would then start in safe mode to clear some system-level caches and perform a disk check and repair if necessary:

  Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

  1. Start or restart your Mac.
  2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
  3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

  After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

  To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

  From: try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up

  Once you log in safe mode, reboot normally and try again the reader. Thank you for using communities of Apple Support, let us know how it goes.

• "Access denied" message in Device Manager

  I can't update the driver software in all my gear installed on my computer via a right click on it in Device Manager. It happens to the progress bar 'Software Installation pilot' before stopping and give me a message "access denied." Why would he do that? I'm the only one who touch my computer, it uses a lot less.

  In addition, how can I bypass the "Access denied" message and give me permission to do stuff like that?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community!

  I see from the description of your post, that you are getting the error message access denied when updating driver software.

  1. The user account has administrator user account privileges?
  2. You're the admin?

• 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 :-)

• iPad: pilot USB MTP / Apple Mobile Device Support Driver update failed - access denied

  Hi all

  I do iTunes/iPad/AMDS rerun (Win7 Ultimate 64 bit). After the last update of iTunes to 11.1, I'm not able to install the Apple Mobile Device Support any longer. Usbaapl64 installation fails. Even a manual update is not possible (access denied).

  Before you uninstall, the iPad has been recognized as Apple Mobile Device Support, but using the old version located in system32. Same result trying to update the driver manually - access denied. After you have uninstalled the ADM the iPad is recognized as Apple iPad to portable devices (in dev mgmt). Updating the driver (and selecting the usbaapl64 in CommonFiles/Apple/Apple Mobile Support folder) still fails - access denied.

  Even to disable UAC, using the account hidden administrator and start Windows in safe mode will not grant access. I have no idea what to do now. Is this a normal behavior or y at - it something very wrong in my system? I don't want to format my system.

  Thanks in advance.

  PS: Windows is up to date
  P.P.S.: Tried numerous solutions of Apple, articles, forums, google, re - install iTunes and what you have. Nothing has worked.

  I have it.

  Have a look in the newspaper of the setupapi.app.log and setupapi.dev.log C:\Windows\inf files I discovered that management installation program / unit was not able to create a temp folder in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore and was not yet able to copy the files in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository.

  After you change the access rights (gave me and SYSTEM full access), I was able to update the driver USB MTP driver Apple Mobile Device real Support. Later, I was able to install iTunes without any problems during the installation of the pilot AMDS.

  Took me only 4 days to the indicator with the search in the log files mentioned above-. -.

• "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.
