accidentally tried to move the contents of drive c on external hard drive

so... I thought that I could free up space by moving everything to an external hard drive.  I tried to move everything on the c:\ drive.  Oops.  He started, but then I think he moved to some files necessary for windows to run, then it stopped working.  I can't move, is back.  tried to use the back, but now access is denied to the c drive.  Anyone know what I need to do?

It MIGHT be possible, but I think that it depends on many factors, such as the security for the reader and permissions permissions different to elsewhere in the hierarchy of the folders, files or not he used any bitlocker or other protections. I couldn't honestly tell you exactly how to get started.  It might be useful to plug it into another computer, just to see if you can copy the files by taking possession of the records and yourself permission, but that may end up being a dead end too.

    Hi Mr.Daza,

    It is not possible to move the content. This can cause applications to malfunction. However the next time you install a program, you can choose where you want to install it.

  • Error message "unable to copy the file"hiberfil", it is used by another person or program." Problem copying content from your PC to external hard drive.

    Original title: problem to copy content from your PC to external hard drive.

    I use Windows XP 2000 and am trying to restore my pc to factory settings as it is continuously 'stick '. When you try to copy my drive "c" on an external drive I get a message saying "unable to copy the file"hiberfil", it is used by another person or program." Close any program that might be using the file and try again "." What is 'hiberfil' and how do I close it down as I am not aware that I use?

    Concerning

    Pete

    The hiberfil.sys will be created every time that you start... If you put in hibernation enabled in your control panel, Power Options and the file is 'open' to think that you can actually choose to Hibernate at any given time.  When you Hibernate XP gives a note of it and will write a hiberfil.sys sometimes important in the c:\ folder so that when XP fires again upwards and returns from hibernation, XP will read the hiberfil.sys file and return to the situation that you were in when you put into hibernation.

    I use to be a chronic hibernant because it takes less time to return after hibernation as a cold start.  Sometimes, it can actually be slower that a cold so start your system based on the amount of RAM has.  The more RAM you have, the more your hiberfil.sys will, if sometimes it's faster to move with just a cold start if you Hibernate (26,03 seconds for me).

    If hiberfil.sys is giving you a hard time (you would not in any way copy it) disable hibernation in your Power Options and the file will be deleted immediately since it would be is no longer necessary.  That would solve this, but if you are trying to copy the entire C drive, you will have other files to complain after that.

    It is certainly possible to make a complete copy of the C drive, if you want, but you will have to initialize on something next to your drive hard if you want to do this so the XP files are not used - then you can copy anything and everything.  You can get some imaging software of disc that will also help you.

    It depends on what the problem is you want to solve and what you wand to end up with when you're done (so far, unspecified).

    I would work on figure our why your XP is paste and fix it in place.  XP should not be sticky.

  • How do I move the content frame flash cs4

    I feel really stupid for asking this, how can I move all the content on all my layers without creating a motion tween.
    my film is not correctly positioned on the scene from the movie so not everything is visible when the film is put to the test, when I try to move all the content on all chassis at a time it made the move of the movie part.
    I have alos tried to change the size of the document to fit the content, but not of joy I have spent hours on this project and am now stuck on something like that
    Thank you
    Dan

    As long as you do not position keyframes later in the interpolation, it won't create a new Tween. If you have position keyframes, then you make the selection rectangle on the stage to move the content.

    As an administrator, I though I had permission.  How can I fix it?

    I've only logged on as administrator.

  • Move the contents of the clip 1 film to another

    Hello

    I loaded an external swf into movie clip "image1" on the stage.

    Once the swf file is loaded in "image1", is there a way I can perfectly move the contents of "image1" movie clip "image2" (on another layer and position on the stage.

    Thank you very much

    You can not re-parents in as2.  You can in as3.

    you might be able to give the illusion that you're new parents, but if your loaded swf file has animation or not static display, even that will be difficult.

  • Since the update of Vista on my external hard drive problems

    I have a problem with my external hard drive. A week ago I reinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium on my PC. Everything worked very well, my external hard drive, too. But after installing all the new updates and SP2 my external hard drive has problems. If I copy something from her, or just listen to the music is recorded on it, so overall if I work with her, after 1 to 3 minutes it stops working. I have to sign in to get access to it again. But before installing SP2 updates after SP2 everything worked out very well. So I think that there is a problem with SP2 or the following updates. My Pc is a Dell Dimension 9200 and the external hard drive is a Verbatim 1 TB external hard drive and USB 2.0

    I tried to bbot with Ubuntu and delete the Autorun.inf. Now everything works fine again.
    Thank you

    Keep all image files both places?

    What is the best way to go through thousands of images in the Organizer to identify and place them in files?

    Once I've placed a file, I just leave it in the entire catalog or a way indicate to me that it has been sorted?

    As overwhelming, any tips/shortcuts/schemes, you can offer are welcome!

    As I only have the version of the EP, here is some info on the organiser:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/how-to/use-elements-Organizer.html

    Independent of how this feature works, you want to have your photos in one place and have a backup (second copy) somewhere else. All hard drives will not be successful at some point - some more early, some late - never trust to have your files in any safety devices if they are on a single disc. Once you have your sorted, it would be useful that you will organize/name/tag new photos immediately if the task is relatively short and simple. I copy my photos on my internal hard drive for my camera, take a quick look with preview to see who needs some changes and then decide where to put them - either drop them immediately after naming them or bring in an editing application and then file them away.

    Open your desktop folder in the Finder, then type 'image' in the search field in the Finder window toolbar and value of the research for "kind: Image".

    Define the scope of the search for "Desktop".

    Now, you can select all items in the window by entering ⌘A, then drag the photos in your Inbox.

    Check a second time, that the scope of the research really is 'Office' and not 'this computer '.
