• Access denied for backup external hard drive

  Hello

  I can not access my old files stored on an external hard drive Maxtor. It gives me an access denied error.

  I tried what you posted in another forum.

  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 OK and 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 OK and 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 got a laptop with Windows XP and these files have been backed up with XP as my operating system. Then I changed my laptop with Vista and cannot access files - they are just NTO open!

  Help, please!

  Hi Tdhar...  Are you able to take control by following the steps listed on the Web site below

• Access denied to my external hard drive

  I changed the permissions on my external hard drive, and now I am getting an access denied when I click the hard drive icon in my computer. I can't even open the Security tab, on the Properties screen. Please help, this car has a lot of important things about it and I don't know what to do to solve this problem.  I'm using Windows Vista 32-bit, if this is helpful to the solution.

  Try to connect the external hard drive on another computer to see if you can access it.  That have you changed permissions for - you can have locked yourself on according to what you then try to be specific on exactlly what you did and what you have changed.

  I hope this helps.

  Thanks and good luck!

• Access denied to the 2nd hard drive in Win 7 Professional 64

  I installed Win 7 Professional 64 with two volumes (drives C and F) RAID mirroring. Everything was working fine and then all of a sudden, I can't access the second RAID - F drive. The hard drive (drive F) appear in the disk management tool and that it appears in 'Computer', but without showing any space on the disk. In the disk management tool, the drive and the space appear. When I try to access the drive F, I get an access denied message. It was working fine a few hours ago.

  Although this thread has been some time, I see that it gets still visited regularly. In hopes of helping someone else with the process of the two part 'Take Ownership' and 'Give permissions' for an entire hard drive, I have attached a .pdf document. It is basically all the same steps provided by Juliette V above, but includes screenshots for each step to help the novice user.

• "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.

• dv2845se, Vista, incompatible drivers, new hard drive, please help :(

  I'm fighting for a week at least. The HARD drive failed on this pc.

  So it is a pure Windows Vista 64 bit install on a new hard drive.

  It's pc to my son and he did not create recovery discs.

  I used this nvidia chipset sp36607 (evil)

  The chipset for this laptop is not listed here > HP Pavilion dv2845se Verve Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers

  I installed the drivers in this order, because I thought it was the right order. Correct me if I'm wrong.

  (1) sp36607 Chipset

  (2) graphic sp37860

  (3) sp39679 Audio (installation fails. so I used windows update to install this)

  (4) sp37859 Modem

  sp38361 5) HP Quickplay

  (6) sp38688 HP Quick Launch Buttons

  (7) sp39249 Driver WiFi

  8 (a) sp37809 Ricoh 5-1 driver card reader (I chose it because of the uncertainty and because of several apparently in conflict)

  8 (b) sp37872 Ricoh Media Card Reader driver host controller (it is on the page above)

  9 a) Alps Touchpad sp42605 the (I chose this because of the uncertainty and because of several apparently in conflict)

  9 (b) sp37855 ALPS Touchpad Pointing Device Driver (it's the one above on the page)

  (10) YouCam software sp37849

  (11) sp38081 Lightscribe

  I rebooted after each installation of driver to see if that helps.

  I have the BSOD after installing the Alps... it seems to coincide?

  Stop errors are 124 material... ram passes memtest86 + and I use a test drive Seagate tools just because I don't really know what to do at this point. I reinstalled the OS 4 or 5 times already.

  What in the world I am doing wrong? This is by far the more difficult pc for me so far.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Dawn

  ETA: HDD spent Seagate long ordeal.

  Hello:

  Sorry you have such a hard time there.

  It is possible that the motherboard is shot, but not because of what you did by installing the drivers.

  The dv2000, books of Series 6000 and 9000 with the nvidia chipset and graphics had serious problems of motherboard, and the more you use the PC - especially if they played video games on it, faster boards are dead.

  HP even had a recall several years ago on these models have replaced motherboards.

  There is another possibility, and it is one of the memory of the chip is bad.  You can remove one and see if the laptop works again.  If it's the same thing, pass the memory chips.  If it still does not work, then it is possible, that it was just time to go.

  Unplug the adapter and remove the battery before working inside the laptop.

• Access the data on the hard drive

  My hard drive on my laptop failed.  I replaced and reinstalled windows vista, but I could not access any data on the old hard drive.  I was able to install it as a backup of my desktop computer hard drive and I can see the directory structure, however, whenever I try to access the data in My Documents, I get an error G:\users\moe\documents\my is music is not accessible access is denied.  Any ideas how I can access this information, assuming that it is not a physical problem with the hard drive.  I have the password of windows I used to access the computer, but I don't know how to use it since this drive is not the one I am running windows from.  The computer that I use to access the data on the hard drive is on windows XP, if that makes a difference.

  The computer tries to access the old hard drive and the old hard drive are XP.  It is a forum for Vista.  All the procedures I have on this issue are only for Vista.  You should repost your question in the right place.

  Please repost your question in the Forums XP: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windowsxp where XP experts will be happy to help you to gain access.  I don't know it's just a simple issue of permissions and/or property which can be easily solved with the correct procedures.

  I hope this helps.  If you later need help transfer of data to the Vista machine, then come back here and we will help you.

  Good luck!

• Laptop support two hard drives

  Hello

  I am looking for a screen of 15.6 inches that supports two hard drives. Can someone point me to the laptop that support two hard disks? I'm more interested in HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC but any would do the trick. I am also looking for the laptop to have the full HD screen.

  Thank you

  Sumit

  You can watch the DV7 if having two hard drives is important. The DV7 in laptop computers range has a 2nd HARD drive Bay, and I understand that the DV6, M6, G6, G7, and M7 have only 1 HARD drive Bay. If you buy a DV7 which is not customizable, or retailer, you can always install a 2nd HARD drive by buying the Parts HP hard drive hardware Kit and a HARD drive. HP has been portable computers shipping with Seagate hard drives, but WD, Western Digital, will also work. I recently updated my DV7-3165DX to 2 TB (1 TB WD Scorpio Blue SATA 2.5 in HDD + 1 TB WD Scorpio SATA 2.5 HARD drive in),

  Look at these DV7. The quad core seemed to be the same price when customized at the same level.

  My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

  Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

  The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

  Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

  You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

  By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

  Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

• Can I use two hard drives in the Qosmio G40-10th

  Anyone know if it is possible to install two hard drives in this laptop. I read simewhere that it had to be two slots hard drive in it?
  If so where is it located?
  Ther would be all issues around extra heat that could be generated etc.?

  I have had mine for about 5/6 months and have had a screen replaced (defective backlight).
  Many other people have had problems?

  I wonder if its worth buy the extended warranty.

  See you soon.
  Sunil

  Hello

  As far as I know this laptop takes support only a single HARD disk.
  Check the underside of the laptop. Do you see a second slot (cover) the second HDD?
  I imagine that it has a single HARD drive Bay, and so only a single HARD disk can be used.

  I m not a G40 owner and, therefore, I cannot comment on any other issue.
  But each computer technology may start to malfunction it is why I always recommend buying an extended warranty.

  Best regards

• Satellite P300 with two hard drives

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite P300 1 9, which seems to have two hard drives of 250 GB. A (Hitachi) is partitoned 'Vista C and E Data' and the other (Toshiba) is listed as drive had ' which is empty. If I right click on anything, say a document, and select ' send to ' I don't have the option to send to the D drive. How to store data on this drive?

  Thank you

  cheven.

  If your laptop has two hard disks, it clearly appears in Windows Explorer.
  The first HARD disk is divided into two partitions, and on the second partition, which belongs to the first HARD drive, you will see folder HDDRecovery (do not remove the second HARD drive).

  Deleting files is the same as on the withdrawal between the two partitions. It is the WXP/Vista basic know-how.

• Two hard drives - what to set the page file to?

  I have two hard drives, Windows is installed on C:, what should I set my page of the settings file for better performance? Hard drive space is not a problem, I have a 250 GB and a 1 TB drive, both are less than half full. I have 3.25 GB of RAM DDR2.

  I heard move the swap file on a second hard drive is beneficial, because the OS files and the page file could be consulted at the same time. Defining a very large page file or file page on both drives will hurt performance? What is a variable size compared to a matter of constant size?

  It shouldn't be noticeable performance difference if the swap file is bigger than "necessary".

  If your system can it take into account, it is considered generally to be a performance advantage to put the file on a different physical disk than the operating system is installed, provided the other player does not see many IO already.

  By using a constant size / fixed can eliminate fragmentation of the file page that can occur if it is sized dynamically.

  If you anticipate relying heavily on the swap file, maybe reconsider and add more RAM to the system, if possible, or upgrade to a 64-bit computer and the operating system that is able to handle more RAM.

• Can't access to my (e :)) error Hard Drive e/s external device (0 x 80070057).

  Original title:

  Can't access to my (e :)) external hard drive)

  I connected my Seagate Freeagent drive a couple of days, after a long period of disuse. The first time I opened it, it works beautifully. But after I closed it, it disappeared from my computer. I managed to get the letter drive (e), but can not open it, make a device i/o error (0 x 80070057). I'm at my wits end. I have a lot of personal files on the external hard drive, and I really don't want to lose them. Can someone help me?

  YAY! I finally got to work. Hallelujah! I don't know how I did it, but it works now. I just unplugged the power cord from the unit and waited about 30 seconds, then plugged in again, and it started working again. Sorry to bother any of you nice people. That's great!!!
