• Access to file denied external hard drive?

  My old notebook crashed so I took out my hard drive and put it in a NexStar 2.5 enclosure.  I was running XP Home on my old laptop, but the new laptop that I bought a Vista Home Basic.
  I can't get any of my image files or music library to open.  Every time he tells me that I don't have permission.  I tried opening every folder and file separately and change the security permission, but it still not open them.  I just get the same warning "permission denied."
  Help, please!

  Hi Zuma1978,

  You may need to change the permissions of folders or files. Please see the link below for more information on this topic:

  Folder and file permissions

  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 OKand 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 OKand 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 hope that these steps will help. Please get back to us with your results so that we can help you if necessary.

• Trying to access the files on an external drive. It is denied. Some files are accessable. / problem solved. But please help me learn.

  Hello.

  I use XP Home 32-bit Edition. My a-external hard drive is a Western Digital My Book Essential 1.5 Tb USB2 HARD drive: model number: WDBAAF0015HBK-00.

  I can't access all files on the external hard drive. Currently, I mounted it on a folder. I have some files tif on the external hard drive and wanted to access my photos.

  The message that I had to right click and select open with was "access to C:\(Folder tree) denied." I tried my programs and the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer of image editing. Nothing works.

  When I right click on the images of problem the only options I have are: open, print, edit, Preview, open with, send to. None of these work.

  Some files are not accessible, and others. Unaccessable files do not have a preview image in the window pane (on the lower left side when I'm in the folder).

  This can happen if I didn't 'delete safetly' external hard drive or there was a Brown out? Some of the tif are too long file extensions? Shouldn't windows warn me too long file extensions?

  I consulted the havn't the reader for a while.

  I can not drag and drop the files to my desktop. I can't copy, cut, delete or move the files. When I click on a file, and then click file - properties: nothing shows up and he says: size: 0 bytes, size on disk: 0 bytes. But when I click on the file in the folder, it says that it is 23.3 MB. I can move the folder on my desktop.

  When I select all the files and click on file - properties: it is said attributes: read-only and hidden. They are green in box, I have not did those and it does not work. I clicked on Advanced Options, again I had unstapled the ReadOnly and hidden, then I unchecked all 4 options because they were greenboxed too. It's green boxes, not the check marks in both situations. What are the green boxes?

  ______________________________________________________

  Fixed a problem. I dragged and deposited the files on my desktop and I can access it. At this point, I just thought, since I had problems with the music files (mp3 or wav) is too long and is not be able to access or remove them, but I can delete the folders to get rid of them.

  So my question is why am I unable to access the files? This is a limitation of my external hard drive? Can I test or repair? What is this kind of disk with this version of Windows? What is a format? It's NTFS. Computer management indicates that the external drive is healthy.

  It seems that some files are not named as long as others and I could access those. Is there a limit on character/attribution of Tif or all types of files? If so, is it the same? Pourrait - linked to the way in which the external (or internal drive?) is setup in the policies tab? Are each disk different? They seem to be a little more limited than the internal hard drives, but I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the usb2.

  Does anyone know if there is a program or a way to know how many letters or numbers have been used? Microsoft Word and Works a number of words, but Works 9 (I have that) doesn't have a number of letter.

  Contradict you yourself.  At one point, you said:

  > I can not drag and drop the files to my desktop. I can't copy, cut, delete or move the files.
  and then you say:
  > A problem fixed. I dragged and deposited the files on my desktop and I can access it.

  This side, the general approach to access in this case is "Ownership" of these files.
  "How appropriate a file or a folder in Windows XP"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308421 >

  This probably occurred because the files were created on different computers by users with different Secure ID (SID) or you have reinstalled Windows and files were protected to some extent.  Since you are using XP Home Edition, the only way to see the security settings is to start your computer using safe mode and log in as an administrator.  This will give you access to the 'Security' tab when you right-click on a file and select 'Properties' (as described in the article above).  Apart from connecting with Safe Mode, you can use 'Cacls' command from a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") to view or change permissions on files

• To access the files and folders from the hard drive Windows 7 on Windows XP, access denied error message.

  Original title: portable destroyed - need for car access

  I don't know if this is the right forum - please advice if it is not.

  My friend's laptop computer was destroyed in a car accident. I pulled the drive and placed it in my desktop XP system and the drive appear in good health. However, I received permission issues trying to access records on the disk and thought that it was because of me using Win XP and the laptop was Win7x64. My questions below are based on the assumption that I'm not able to access these files on my Win XP system. If this assumption is incorrect, so please let me know.

  I have a laptop that I don't use and put the disk in it. I was hoping it would be plug and play all the new material, but after reading a little online, I know that this is not the best thing to do and will probably not work as did the earlier versions of Windows.

  In the end, I care retrieves the contents of the disc, although it would be great if I could lend my laptop for a few weeks with "its files" until it sorts how to replace the laptop.

  Can I get the player Win7x64 working on the laptop computer of replacement by reinstalling Win7x64 on this laptop? I'm not "means a clean install/reformat, but have rather the Setup program detects an existing installation, and do its magic to get the operating system runs on new hardware?"

  I know that this raises questions of MS licenses. If the installation process could get his old system running on the laptop replacement, if I have a small window of time completely to access his files before being forced to re-register the OS? I'm hoping so.

  I'm looking for only a short-term solution - I do not recommend that he hopes that drive long term because the laptop got quite truncated of the accident, and once he gets a new laptop it will have everything he needs on this subject (OS, licenses, etc.). If I have a small window of time where I can simply copy their important files, or to lend him my laptop with its player and him can bring to its domestic network and the print out of all the things that are important, that it's going to be all together to move them to a new laptop when it is available.

  Thank you

  Hello

  You experience this problem because of the permissions applied to these s folder.  To resolve this problem, you will need to take ownership of these files and folders.

  Method 1: You can follow the steps mentioned in the link below to take possession of the records

  Troubleshoot "access denied" when opening files or folders

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-access-denied-when-opening-files-or-folders

  (Article above applies to Windows Vista, not valid for Windows XP)

  Also check out the article below

  Method 2:  You can try a custom installation (not a format\clean facility).

  See the link below for custom installation
  using the install option custom without formatting the hard drive

  Note: In custom installation only data would be transferred in Windows. Drivers, applications and the old folder will need to be reinstalled.

• Trying to access the files on an external hard drive in XP with Vista... Access denied.

  My old laptop with XP died, so I purchased an external drive and installed my old hard drive in it. I now use Vista, but whenever I try to access the files I get a message saying that I don't have permission to access the files. I spent in and changed the settings in files to reflect property, yet I always refused. I have read the discussions and met some people with the same questions, but proposed solutions seem to be more confusing than the problem itself.

  These files have been encrypted? If Yes and you did not save your encryption certificate/key, the files are lost forever. If the files are not encrypted (and you can do this natively in XP Home), then appropriate should do the trick. Again, here are the instructions:

  1. right click on the file or folder and then click Properties.
  2. click on the Security tab.
  3. under group or user names, click your name to see the permissions you have.

  To open a file, you must have the read permission. For more information about permissions, see what are permissions?

  http://tinyurl.com/2j9vgr

  To take ownership of a folder:

  1 right click on the folder you want to take control and then click Properties.
  2. click on the Security tab, click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.
  3. click on modify. Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  4. click on the name of the person you want to give to the property.
  5. If you want this person to be the owner of the files and subfolders in this folder, select the Replace owner of subcontainers and objects to check.
  6. click on OK

  If after all this you may not always get the files, I just boot the system with a Linux Live CD or Live USB key and copy in Windows there because Linux does not respect ownership/permissions of Windows.

  You can create a USB bootable Linux instead of a bootable CD. This site will show you how, and it's very easy -http://www.pendrivelinux.com

• Deny access to files in Dreamweaver

  For a college project I built a Web site. We use Adobe CS6. I did all the work on a computer for College, but I have to work at home during the holiday to finish on the date limit. I copied all the files on a usb key and everything works well except 3 CSS and javascript which are related to the Web site. It's only the files that have been linked to Web pages and they have green names for some reason any. Screenshot:http://puu.sh/h67n7/7a52e1fd57.png for example in my CSS file, I got a template file css that I was referencing that was unrelated and I open it fine. When I opened the Web pages had linked to them css and javascript files I only get the html. I can't view or edit files in any program and I can't copy them. I tried settings all files on not only reading, giving all permissions and using the utility menu context of property taking. Nothing has worked. I am the admin on my system and UAC is disabled and never give the guests. Any ideas why I can't access my files? I can't wait to get all my work done in time.

  The file was encrypted on the College computer, so you'll need to decipher it before copy you it to the usb key.

• How to access the files or records of the administrator

  Hello

  My Toshiba Satellite A-105 recently crashed and I need to reformat the drive, but first I wanted to backup my files from the hard drive. I bought an external hard drive enclosure, set up and plugged in my other computer (healthy). It worked fine except that I can't access my files/folders administrator (since the drive hard laptop crashed). It is said "G:\Documents and Settings\Ray are not available. Access is denied. "It is also my father's account and other accounts are available.

• Music, videos, photos are locked and access is STILL denied

  I know that many of these threads exist but I tried all the solutions listed in them and nothing works.

  I am an administrator on my laptop. There is only one account, mine. Suddenly, my music, my documents, my videos and my pictures are locked. There is a lock on each icon and when I click on it it is said "(FilePath) is not accessible." Access is denied. " I did not change any hardware or software recently.

  Here's what I've tried:
  -Restore default on all folders (I followed the steps here http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/my-music-videos-pictures-etc-folders-are-locked/161848fe-bf6f-4496-bb5a-eec57a4f0229?tm=1318579192799)

  -Double check that there are not any other accounts. It does not exist.

  When I go to properties/security for my user account, it tells me that all the accounts (I only have one account on my laptop, but my name; Everyone; and system appear) have all permissions.

  I tried to pass in user / all users and permissions of total following the steps to give everyone and I says that access is denied. It really starts to annoy me. It has been like this for weeks, and I can't access my files. Nothing I've done so far has worked (I even did a full system restore).

  Someone at - it any other ideas?

  Thank you.

  Hello AliceHayes,

  If you go in Windows Explorer, and then under libraries, you should see Documents, music, photos and videos. You should be able to access files and folders listed there.

  However, if you scroll the users folders and to extend it, the folders for all users, the default user and your own file will show the lock on the file. It is the value by default or by design.

  If you go into your profile user (Alice) folder, then you can develop and see all of your files to the breast. You can open My Documents, my music and my pictures there and should not receive an access denied.

  If you have another user on the computer, you would not be able to access their profile folders unless you log in as this user or if you are logged on as administrator.

  Not sure if this will help.
  The best thing to do is to send us a screenshot of what you see with locks on files. In addition, please include a screenshot of when you click on the folder and the message access denied error.

  Thank you

• 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?
