• In Windows 7 when you try to copy files to an external hard drive, getting the error "are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?

  I know there have been a few posts on this in the past, but I have a slightly different query.

  To copy files from my drive NTFS of Windows 7 64 bit for my Western Digital My Book World Edition II 2 GB player manually, not with the WD software provided), for some files, the following message appears.
  "Are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?  The X file has properties that cannot be copied to the new location. »
  After investigation, it appears that Western Digital My Book World Edition II is not NTFS format and is, in fact, driven Linux.
  Their technical support has confirmed that, despite the message, it is safe to copy files and rely on this backup (I want to backup my drive HARD whole so I can do a clean install - so it's really important!).
  Is anyone able to advise exactly what means the message in terms of properties lost?

  If you right-click on one of the files in Windows Explorer, then select Properties, you will see the Details tab of the properties he wouldn't if the files have been copied to a drive not NTFS. They are written in an Alternate Data Stream (ADS), and the FAT format readers include ADS.

  It depends on the file type of the importance of these properties. If you have spent a lot of time, adding titles and comments and authors and authors e-mail addresses to docprops your Word documents, for example, that the work would be lost.

  If you can live with the loss of these properties, go ahead - standard properties will be re-writings in the file when you restore from backup. It's of course time and resources.

  To avoid this problem, format your external drive to use the NTFS system.

• How to copy a folder to an external hard drive with the same file on it and have it just add new files instead of replace all old already on there, as well as to add new?

  I want to copy a folder to an external hard drive with the file already on it and not having to replace all the files each time. I just want to click and drag the folder to the external hard drive and have it add new files I've added in the folder on my pc over time on the external hard drive. It's annoying to have to replace alllll the files each time.

  Thank you!

  A simple way is to use the second copy of Centered.com software. It is reasonably priced and will do exactly what you want. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Denied access in writing to a disk external hard drive for Windows XP laptop.

  I have my laptop running on Windows XP. Recently I am facing difficulties to copy the files to my portable hard drive to an external hard drive (Intenso) - the error message "Unable to create the new folder - access denied".

  Surprisingly, the last time that I triedto copy some files was in December 2010 and everything worked fine. Even more surprising is that when I'm trying to copy files from my laptop to desktop hard disk Intenso I barely have problems at all! It works very well. Also, the operating system of my portable desktop is also WindowsXP.

  It seems that the hard drive is formatted with NTFS, and you must add the "everyone" to the root of the drive with ALL the account permissions and leaves all of the subfolders will inherit this setting.

• I can't move files on my external hard drive as it says I don't have permission.

  Whenever I have try and drag or copy and paste the files on my external hard drive it says I don't have permission. I know this isn't the hard drive because it works on other computers

  To give the control is a two-step process. Take ownership and then to give permissions.

  Owner of a file allows the owner to change permissions even if they do not have the authorization to do so. It's the only thing that made property. The person who creates an object owns the object. For admins, the objects that are created are the property of administrators, not the individual.

  You need start exploring as administrator to Start - All Programs - Accessories - made Windows Explorer right click and choose run as administrator.

  You must therefore make a right-click folders / drive, you are interested in tick - button Properties - Security - Advanced button - property - Edit - Replace owner on Sub containers and objects tab - select one user-then Ok your way of out.

  Right-click new - folder Properties - Security - Advanced - tab permissions - Edit button - select the account - check the two checkboxes - button - Advanced - Search now button Add button - select your tick - Ok button - total control in the list. OK your way out.

• Moving music files of 1 external hard drive to another

  I have to move my music files from one external hard drive to another.   Many of these files are in the iTunes library, but do not reside in the iTunes/iTunes Music folder.  Is it possible to do so that they don't become 'traces of dead' in iTunes that I'll have to then 'find' whenever I want to access one of the songs?

  There is no easy way to do it. It is one of the disadvantages of not let iTunes do its own management of files.

  My suggestion would be to first let iTunes consolidate the active player library and only then move it to the new drive.

• Why don't my raw in iphoto files transfer on an external hard drive in the form of successfully raw files?

  I use a mac in mid-2007, 10.7.5 mini system. I use iPhoto for my photo files only. I recently shot a family, the RAW files. When you try to transfer these RAW files and keep them in the form of RAW files on an external hard drive, the files themselves simply to the jpg. did someone knows how I can get these RAW files off my hard drive to an external hard drive, but keep them RAW and their original size? Thanks much for any guidance you may have. -bethsongs

  TO export RAW files you select them in iPhoto and export (menu, file == > export) using the type is an original option - see export from iPhoto for more details on the options

  as to get them off you primary drive - you can't, unless you remove them form iPhoto and empty iPhoto trash and trash system - iPHoto must always have access to the original to work

• Windows 7 Professional... How to get access to security to view my external hard drives and external flash dirves

  I am a first time user to windows 7 Professional and need to learn how to access files that are connected to the computer by an external flash drive or an external hard drive.

  External or external flash drives hard drives can be connected to windows 8 computers or windows xp to view the files, but when then identical external or external flash drives hard drives are connected to two computers with windows 7 Professional there are settings automatically don ot all access to the external hard drive or flash drive external files.

  When the computer display, it displays the external hard drive.

  When I left click top produces a pop up with the title bar: location is not available

  Content: H: | is not accessible.

  Access is denied.

  When I right click on the hard drive and then click the Security tab, it displays:

  Name of the object: H: |

  To continue, you must be an administrative user with permission to view this object's security properties.

  Do you want to continue?

  Then I clicked on continue and it displays:

  Owner

  You do not have permission to view this object's security properties.  To view its security properties, you can try to take possession of the object.  As owner, you can also control who gets the permissions on the object.  Please note that once you take possession, the previous owner may not have access to the object.

  To try to take possession of the object, select an account from the list, and then click OK.

  Name of the object: H: |

  Current owner: unable to display current owner.

  Change in ownership to:

  the two choices are my name or administrators

  I then chose an and apply and ok and it did not work.

  I then chose the other and apply and ok and it did not work.

  Then I clicked on other users or groups and entered everyone and that no longer works.

  I am the only user of this computer brand new.

  When I click on accounts Panel then user control and security for the family and then user accounts, it displays my name as administrator password.

  What are the steps that I can buy an external hard drive or buy a flash drive or use the ones I already have and use them with this computer which has windows 7 Professional?

  I went back to safety again and this time stayed at the bottom for special permissions or advanced settings.

  And yet when I kept getting location is not available

  H:\ is not accessible.

  Access is denied.

  How do change you windows 7 Professional so that you can have access to your own files on an external hard drive or an external flash drive.

  Please list the steps.

  Thank you

  This problem has been resolved in collaboration with support of higher HP for Z book 17 mobile workstation.

  Steps:

  (1) determines that it is not NTFS problem

  (2) using the MSCONFIG the problem has been isolated to a single service

  When this service has been disabled and after reboot, the problem of access to the files is resolved.

  Results: HP had installed software on the HP Z book 17 laptop or mobile workstation which, by default, block communication with external hard drives and flash drives external.

  This HP Client Security software replaces or blocks all right click changes settings become apparent.  It blocks the change of ownership.  It blocks the administrator privileges.  It blocks all is used.

  The HP Client Security software has been changed and changed to deny privileges (default setting) to allow the communication with external drives.  When you go into the setting for this software, it is now a humming noise and maybe I need to download the drivers and software again to see if this problem is also corrected.

  Thanks for your comments.  I spent a lot of time on this and didn't understand why all right-click methods had failed.  The default software setting HP deny had trumped right click all changes.
