Access my files after converting HD internal external hard drive?

I was using a Lenovo Thinkpad notebook that had initially installed, Windows 7 upgraded to Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 then. Screen of the laptop was accidentally crushed, and while the laptop was working fine, it was unusable because the screen was totally destroyed. As I'm travelling and I wanted to replace it anyway, I took the hard drive and put it in an external enclosure.

I try to access my files from the hard drive on another computer. This computer is running Windows 7. When I plugged in the drive for the first time, I authorized the computer analyze and correct (I think, I don't remember the exact words) the hard drive. Now, I'm trying to get my files. I believe that they are under "Users--> last" but then an error message will appear, telling me "you don't currently have permission to this folder. Click on continue to get a permanent access to the folder. "I click on continue, then get"you have been denied access to this folder. To win access to go to Security tabs. "But I do not know what parameters to change in the Security tabs, as I can in all. More on the Security tabs, it shows me that the folder is empty.

I can't unlock this file? If so, how? I screw it up by leaving this analysis of the computer the drive? Is there a chance that it works on a Windows 8?

Any help is VERY appreciated!

EDIT: This is a public library computer so I can't access the administrator user. When I get to 'Properties' for the record, there no tab 'security', just general, "sharing, previous versions, customize. So maybe I should try it on a computer where I can access the administrator user?

You must take possession of the HD.  Instructions for which are here

It should not interfere with the computer of libraries, but not sure how they would feel on this subject. (it can always be reversed when finished)

  • RAW files missing changes after moving to an external hard drive

    Hi, I use lightroom 4 and I cleaned a part of my images on my laptop and then exported in JPEG files. My hard drive has started to fill up, so I moved all my files on raw on an external hard drive but now when I come back to make adjustments to these images it tells me that the file is missing. How the raw return file so that it shows the changes I made?

    The changes should have been stored in the catalog file or in an XMP Sidecar file. Also moved the XMP Sidecar files. These XMP files can be marked as system files in OS X, and unless you have show system files (which, with OS X for that option and turn it you may need to use Terminal), and or display all files, Finder can hide on your part.

  • How can I change lightroom 5 previews smart on the book of mac pro (mbp) when lightroom master image files 5 are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp

    How can I change lightroom 5 previews smart on the book of mac pro (mbp) when lightroom master image files 5 are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp? So far when I try to disconnect the external hard drive the mbp, I get the pop following window: "external hard drive A" disc could not be ejected because it uses 'Lightroom '. Exit this application and try out this disc again. When I do that and restart Lightroom 5, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - screen select catalog appears, but does not list my external hard drive A as a choice.

    I've been reviewing Adobe's Lightroom Help | Smart web page Previews Lightroom 5 and still have not been able to understand what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

    HI Thomas,

    Thank you very much for your suggestions! They finally gave me the direction I go solve the problems I had. Basically, the Mac Book Pro based Lightroom irdata files still had thumbnails. Once I removed the and redirected Lightroom external hard disk, smart previews of the external drive work when the player is well off the MBP. Much obliged.

    I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to backup all the files content and related data of Lightroom that exists on the external hard drive to another external hard drive as a backup? Ideally, it would be great if I could be able to launch security HD since the Mac Book Pro and do the work of Lightroom with the backup image files and intelligent previews correctly. Thanks again. Your help has been invaluable.

  • Drive vs hard internal external hard drive

    Hello

    I remember reading that it is always recommended to have the library in an external drive to avoid the BONES and FCPX compete for resources.

    I have an external drive of Thunderbolt and a SSD internal. If the Blackmagic disk speed Test is to be believed, my SSD is incomparably faster for reading and writing as the Thunderbolt HARD disk.

    Even in this case, it is always recommended to keep the library in the external hard drive?

    What is the SSD? How much work you have to do with how the media? I guess that the SSD is the system drive and running the system, but also other software. That's a lot of file exchange course cluttering up this drive. For smaller projects, the SSD would be great.

  • Windows XP - a problem to transfer big file from laptop on an external hard drive

    I have a problem to transfer large files (mail.pst - zipped file - 5Gbyte) of the laptop (Dell Latitude D630) on an external hard drive (WD 320 G - FAT 32) where each time, I got the message "there is not enough free space on the disk" although I did successfully drive clean on both sides and there is enough space on both sides (not less than 25 GB).

    Also, I did a checkdisk command and he succeeded, and I use Windows XP

    I did several tests to resolve and in the end, I found that I convert the format of external hard drive FAT 32 to NTFS, and then I could successfully transfer the file.

    I used the following commands:

    (1) command line then chkdsk to repair bad sectors

    (2) convert the command line to change the format to FAt 32 to NTFS

    Note: For Windows xp, "convert" command will not delete the files from the hard drive

    Find your external drive, which, on the lower part of the screen, should have a giant bar with black on top of it. If it is blue, read the paragraph after it and ignore the following sentence. Right click after making sure is your external drive (you can tell by looking at how big it is), and then select new simple volume.

    If the bar is blue, and you are sure it is your external drive, it has already been formatted. In this case, right click, select change drive letter and paths, and if there is no letter listed, click Add, choose a letter and press Ok. It should be shown in my computer.

    If it's black, continue reading below.

    Press next, and then it will ask you what size you want the partition, and it should already have filled the maximum space, you can do. Press next. You can then select a drive letter, that will most likely be E, of course you can change it to any desired letter.

    In the next screen, it should have already chosen "format this volume with the following settings. Make sure he put the NTFS file system, allocation unit size must be default which is very good, and you can choose a name for the drive.

    Quick format is selected automatically and I would say leaving just checked, as a normal on a 1 format to player would take a few hours.

    Pressing should then start formatting. On this bar where you initially right click to start this, admittedly, formatting. When he's ready, he'll say: formatting (0%) and then it should finish quickly, because you have chosen to do a quick format.

    After that, the drive appears in my computer and can be used.

  • How can I access my Microsoft Virtual PC on an external hard drive with Windows Virtual PC on my new computer?

    For a few years, I have been using a set of VPC on external hard drives (.vmc files both .vhd located on external drives) with the Microsoft Virtual PC/Virtual PC Console on a Windows XP computer. They worked perfectly.

    However, I just bought a new computer with Windows 7, and I'm unable to access the VPC on the external hard drive. I installed successfully, Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode on the computer, and I copied the file to the host machine's .vmc. However, when I try to open the virtual computer, I get a message saying that the VPC was "impossible to write in one of its virtual hard disks.

    I've tried everything I can think of, but the only thing that works is to copy the .vmc and .vhd in the computer file. The problem is that I use the VPC for training online, and I have 16 of them. If I copy everything in the computer, I will use all 500 GB of disk space.

    There must be a way to access the VPC for external drives. If I can do it on the old XP computer, it should be possible to do it on the new Windows 7 computer.

    Help, please.

    Thank you!

  • Moving after projects effect on external hard drive

    How can I move all of my After Effect projects and their associated files on my local drive on a hard drive so that in the future all the work of EI will be saved on the external hard drive?

    The easiest way is to use the service to collect files to put a single project in a separate folder, including a copy of the original project and then move that or as backup to an external drive.

    The other option is to duplicate your original files that contain assets in the project and copy it to an external drive and then open the project and recreate a link to missing images. The first option is easier.

  • How to transfer iTunes with comments and followed by names, but keep the files of the song on external hard drive?

    I have all of my music stored on an external hard drive. On my old iMac, I have iTunes with all the songs on this hard drive organized or recognized as I like, with comments and play lists and track/song names and album names. How can I transfer iTunes as it is to the old iMac to the new MacMini while leaving the actual files of the song (> 2.5 to) on the external hard drive? In short, I want the old iTunes on my new computer, but the files of the song in the current HD thank you so much.

    (2.66 GHz, 4 GB RAM 20 "iMac; 2014 new Mac Mini)

    Hmmm...   Never tried, but I "think" it should work.   The reader will need to named exactly something on the new computer, as it was on the old.

    1. on the old computer, go to {user folder} / music/iTunes and move the files on the external hard drive.

    2. on the new computer in iTunes, go to Preferences > advanced and not select "copy of the file to the iTunes Media folder.

    3. always in this same window under "iTunes Media folder location", click on change.   Now select the location on the external hard drive, you have moved the files too.
