• No access to an external hard drive

  So I plugged my external hard drive in my macbook to move some files on it but it says "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer." I clicked on initialize and he said: the hard drive is uninitalised and Mont and partition are grayed out. I ran the option of first aid, but he only said: the operation completed successfully. I am aware of that my external hard drive works because it is blue is lit and I used it a few days ago and it worked fine. I also plugged into another usb key I have and it works perfectly.

  Is there anyway for me to access my files on the external hard drive? I really don't want to lose my photos and files!

  The external hard drive is a tough drive 320 freecom.

  the light means power can get to the case, not the drive past any integrity checking. If the drive is older it may break or it could have been failure, or requires 3rd party software to allow full access, if it is NTFS formatted for windows and you use it on a mac.

  If you do not backup your data may be missing. If you start the boot disk process, you have already started to remove the files and more you try using that drive less whatever it is (if any) can be recovered.

  Freecom offers guarantees of 3 years on their mechanical hard drives but offers no guarantee with recovery of lost data (no company only)

  http://www.Freecom.com/warranty

  If your player is longer than 3 years its not rare that its failure and should be replaced with a new unit.

  In the meantime, you can try a 3rd party solution such as Disk Warrior or rescue for Mac to see if something can be saved, but still no service company forensic or data will always claim that they can do it with any degree of certainty to recover your data.

• Access to an external hard drive in XP

  I have an external hard drive that was working well until a few days ago. When I recently tried to access, the drive was visible in 'My Computer'. However, when I double-clicked to open it, I got a message saying "insert disk". I tried on Windows 7, which produced similar results, as well as on a Mac, which does not recognize.

  I wonder if the external hard disk enclosure must be replaced. Although it comes on when turned on, I hear not a running engine as I did in the past.

  Try to run, type: diskmgmt.msc

  ' In msc, L.click hard disk, go to actions, all, select 'make active "".

  close when thru. If its already set to this, try to connect to another

  port, xp will reinstall it on reboot.

• 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?

  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.

• If I have "Everyone" grant access to an external hard drive, which means that everyone connected to my network?

  I finally understood how to allow those that are related to my network to access my external hard drive, or so I think...

  If I have "Everyone" add to my safety for the external hard drive and I concede that "Everyone" control total, this means that these signed to my correct home network?

  I want to just make sure that the people not connected to my network (which is password protected) cannot access the hard disk.

  Thank you in advanced for your answer!

  Not everyone wants to say exactly that any connection to the drive can access. To restrict access, you must set the account in some way. In a workgroup, there is no definition of the global account for all accounts have access or each user must be explicitly included.

  Even all the computers in a home group have an additional account generated to allow cross access.

• Cannot access information on external hard drive in Garland

  I have two FireWire G-drive hard daisy chained and connected to my iMac. I am able to access the information for once, but after a while I can't access information from it anymore.

  For libraries of Final Cut Pro, it will say "Final Cut Pro cannot save the changes to the library."

  For iPhoto libraries, he will say it is "Impossible to write in the"[name of library]"library." Check that you are allowed to write to the directory of the library.

  When you try to move anything in the Finder, it will say "the operation cannot be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code-50).

  So the temporary solution that worked so far is to stop the iMac, disconnect both drives, start the computer, and then connect again. This will cause growth to work again, but only for a time very short before send me mistakes once again.

  How can I fix?

  Thank you

  I hope you both of these backup discs because they failed to comply and when they do, you may lose all your data. Don't do anything until you know that the data is safe. Have you run disk utility to try to repair the disks?

• "not granted write access" - saving to external hard drive

  I've spent hours tonight trying to find a solution to the issue of not being able to save photoshop files in an external HD.

  I use CS6, working on a mid-2010 pro macbook, trying to rescue a Samsung HD.

  Countless discussions of this issue, but he ends up saving a server, or fine thread pending discussions.

  So is there a solution or not? I can't believe that nobody has found a solution over the 4 years +, that this issue has been around!

  Thank you

  Hi winther,

  It seems that you don't have the appropriate permissions for the folder on the external drive.
