Access denied to Local D drive

SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE! I need help changing permissions and by taking possession of my disk di Local denied all permissions for my Windows Vista Local disk D, and now I can't change permissions or take ownership as an Administrator.System of restoration has not helped. The disc is marked "Access denied" and when you access its properties, you can find the following: general: access denied any 0 bytes space sharing: not the shared security: current owner - unable to display current owner when I click to change the property to the administrator, I get "cannot create the new owner on access denied (d). Access is denied' same results when I go to advanced. Please help me!. I don't want to lose my documents on the disk.

My apologies for necroposting, but I just wanted to say than this absolutely saved my life!

Elaborate a little bit and make it a little bit clearer:
If you have shared the folder/file in question, go to your task manager and go to your 'services '.
Right click on "WMPNetworkSvc" and stop the service (it will take a few seconds).
Try to delete the file, if it doesn't work, try to search in the descriptions and stop any process that has the word 'sharing' in there.
Be sure to re-enable the services once the file has been deleted!
Hope this helps.

  • "Access denied" error when updating driver

    My monitor is an HP w2207h (screen 22 "HD flat).  I get "Access denied" error when you try to manually update the driver by using Device Manager.  When I use the installation of HP or Windows Update utility, I just got a message that an error has occurred.  I've recently updated my NVIDIA driver using windows update (VISTA 64).  On reboot, I get a message asking me to select a driver for my HP flat screen monitor.  When I try to install the driver by using the auto option or by downloading manually from HP, I get an "Access denied" error message.  I am the administrator on the computer.  Can you help me solve this problem?

    It is alittle bit of a lenghty process, but it should help to solve the problem. Follow the steps in this KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315539 to show the devices 'hidden' in Device Manager. Browse the list of drivers installed for the graphics card and remove all drivers that are "grayed out" then uninstall the drivers for your monitor. Restart the system and try to install the driver at that time here.

    What can be produced is installed the drivers can interfere with the currently installed driver and this should allow the system to update the driver correctly.

  • Access denied on external hard 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?

    Hi I tried your instructions below to restore all my administrator permissions full on my external hard drive.

    1. click on Start , click all programs , and click Accessories .
    2. right click on command prompt , and then click run as administrator .
    3. in administrator: command prompt window.
    4. type
    takeown /F (external drive letter) and press ENTER.
    5 type
    CACLS (external drive letter) /G Administrator: F and press enter

    After that I followed these steps, my computer Windows 7 says that the drive is not accessible.  I plugged it to my old XP computer, and it also says "access denied."  I have a huge amount of important files there and I need to restore access, but I can't find an answer for how to cancel the steps I followed.  Please tell me how to reverse the steps I did your earlier suggestion.

  • access denied on the C: drive due to the destruction of user name accidentally safety on the properties of the c: drive

    By chance, I deleted all the names of users and groups in the security properties of the C: drive

    shortly after that I tried to access the C: drive and discovered that access was limited to it.

    I tried to use the Security Editor, but I'm also locked down because I don't have permission, even if I'm running the active user in administration settings.

    It is very annoying because I have most of my computer files on the C: drive, and I am unable to run application shortcuts from the desktop as the directory of all the shortcuts applicaions lead on the C: drive, which is is not accessible.

    So far, I tried to disabled UAC and other services concerning the name of user and groups, but also "access denied"...

    I'm not able to run CMD and RUN.exe of normal mode, but I can not in safe mode with command prompt,

    I therefore believe that any possible solution must be done under mode safe mode with CMD.

    I also tried to follow the instructions, but I had no success because the instructions was for someone with a vista and some of the directories mentioned files there is not applicatible for Windows 7.

    http://forums.techguy.org/Windows-Vista/831578-cant-regain-adminstrator-access.html (post #10)

    I heard that formatting the drive can bring back the factory settings and the previous user, but put names in form is not an option for me, I never run'ed a backup of the C: drive or its contents, thus losing all that data would be catastrophic for my financial and emotional state.

    Is their way of bringing user names I have both in the security properties of the C: drive?

    Hi Xerovoid,

    You can try the steps below.

    Step 1

    A. Click Start > computer

    B. right-click on the C: drive, click Properties.

    C. click on the Security tab

    D. click the Advanced button > owner > Edit

    E. make sure the replace the owner of subcontainers and objects box ischecked

    F. click apply, Ok

    G. wait until it changes ownership. (may take a while)

    H. check if the problem persists.

    Step 2

    If the above does not help you solve the problem then try the system restore on your computer.

    A couple of days, I've had accidentally one of the folders slipped on my hard drive in the folder above him and was presented with the "Access denied" error messages when I tried the two a) reglisser it out & b) open it from the record she had been driven to (which was not a folder of my making that is a jibberish titled folder containing two .vdm files it contains first)

  • When adding port local printer 'access denied '.

    I have a home network with 5 computers. All share the same working group. All the impressions of a Canon MP500 attached to Vista64 host area. Defined as a private network with print sharing wide open. My XP system is able to connect and print as a printer to network very well. My laptop Vista32 cannot. Seems to have problems with applications hanging. Which leads to "the application is not responding do not. When I delete the printer network problem disappears. When I try to set up as a local printer and add a local printer port and select the name to be 'the \\computer name\shared printer name' I get an error message "access denied." Have tried everything. Having two versions of the printer driver loaded on the host Vista64 box. One for 32-bit and one for 64-bit. When the Vista32 laptop is connected directly to the printer, it works fine. Dell wants to charge me $125 just to talk to him.

    Hi vegachas,

    Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

    Are you still encounter the same problem with your network?

    The 32-bit machine running any kind of firewall? Try turning it off and reconnect the network printer.
    Make sure that logins exist on both computers with administrator rights.

  • 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.  ;-)

  • 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 :-)
