ATER ADDING A SECOND HARDRIVE MY COMPUTER IS NOT ALLOWING ME to SAVE music to what HE SAID I'm not administrator that he

Recently, I added a second hard drive and now although I can access my files from the original hard drive, it doesn't let me download files outside such as CD as it says I need to "contact the administrator"! Can you please help me solve this problem? Thank you.

Hi Paul,.

In Microsoft Windows XP, the special access permissions are customizable sets of permissions. This means that you can apply special access permissions to files or folders that are located on NTFS file system volumes. This article describes how to set, view, change, or remove special permissions for files and folders.

Method 1: To take possession of the drive in disk management:

a. click the Start button,

b. Select Control Panel,

c. click Administrative Tools then computer management

d. open disk management.

Method 2: Change the drive letter:

a. click on Start

b. Select Control Panel

c. open Administrative Tools

d. Select computer management

d. select disk management in the section at the bottom left. You can change the drive letters on the right.

  • My computer does not recognize that I have two monitors connected.

    I have a VGA splitter cable, but even after I used the cord to connect two cords vga to a port, the computer is only noted one of the monitors.

So the problem is that my computer does not recognize that there are two put monitors in place.

    Cable splitter separates the single signal only. The computer only sees it as an output. You would need a different video card use the two forms as separate monitors instead of simply split the signal.

  • After you have installed the Windows updates, my computer does not recognize that there is a disc in the DVD - ROM thing

    I had this problem for weeks and only recently someone told me that it is perhaps for this reason.
    I tried several things to fix, and one of those who created an error where when I clicked on drive E in Windows Explorer, it looks like:

    E:\ application not found

    So, in the end, I wiped my computer and everything on it and rebooted again.

    IT TOOK FOUR HOURS.

    So, I've set up the computer as I did when I got it 2 years ago, and everything was fine. I could insert a disc, it reads that and I was able to install my game, no problems.

    Now, I have reset everything up, and there are more than 2000 updates to update installed. So I did.

    SO NOW, after all this, which took another TWO HOURS - he does not all disks again.

    I play the Sims 3 - fiercely - and so I tried to re - install all my expansion packs, but it does not now.

    I DON'T want to make that whole process again and install all my games before updating Windows, because I believe, even if I did that, once I've updated, I can't play the game, because my laptop does not recognize that the game disc is there.

    Help, please.

  • Computer does not recognize that this printer is connected

    Hi - We have a new laptop and it does not recognize the old printer.  So, I'm trying to download the driver for it.  However, when I try to download it, it says "Waiting for the user to connect the printer", but the printer is already connected via a USB cable.

    I tried an another USB cable to ensure that it was not that.  I also made sure the printer is on and print a sample page.  What should I do now?

    Hello!

    I'm a little confused abouut your problem. you try to RUN the software and complete functionality to your direct printer from the Hp Web site? If so, Hp does not recommend this process.

    Better to save full feature software and driver first before installing because by clicking RUN directly connected to the internet, you will have a problem to install - some will get instaalation error-corrupted files.

    Pls. click the download button and save it to your desktop.

    Also, before you install it, also try a different USB port on the computer, disable any third-party software on your computer like antivirus, firewalls and spyware because it could block some of the drivers for your printer specifically for scanning. Re-enale the protection again after installation.

    If still not detected, you can try inserting a USB stick to the USB port on your computer. If it works, doesn't mean no problem with the USB PORT.

    TRY THIS ONE, if you are using windows, go to device manager look for the USB if you have a yellow caution icon trhat brand-right click and select put updated driver or select Properties, and then click Properties window simply select Update driver - let windows search the driver online.

    Then try to reinstall, if not solved try this one:

    1. Click Start and then click run . The run dialog box opens.

  • Computer does not recognize that it is the power of the adapter, he seems to think he's still on the battery

    My computer is plugged in and the battery icon shows the battery is charged.  I tried to run a test of the battery, but I get a message that the battery is fine but that a complete diagnosis cannot be executed because the adapter is not plugged in.  I checked all connections and all seem to be good.  I can work on battery power, so this isn't a problem.  What is frustrating is that I can't download any HP or Microsoft updates because the system thinks I am running on battery power.  I tried to download the update THE system BIOS and it won't download because the system thinks I'm working on the battery.

    Help, please.

    I'm sure it's one that came with my laptop.  If I have an additional adapter in the closet, I would check that one...

    Hello

    Open the Device Manager and see if you can locate the cam it, or if there is no list of unknown devices. If it is not, it is recognized and installed. If not, or if it is an unknown device, then you must install the appropriate drivers from the manufacturer support.

    It is also possible that it is disabled in the system BIOS, so you will need to check there as well. Follow the signs for "enter setup" when the system is initially responsible for checking.

  • Computer does not recognize my Sansa e260

    I run Windows 7 Home Premium. My MP3 player is a Sandisk Sansa e260.

    Normally, to charge the Sansa, I've just plug it into a USB port on the computer. It is immediately recognized and loading begins.

    Today, while I was out walking the dog, the Sansa ran out of juice. So when I got home I plugged the computer in the usual way. The computer does not know that it existed. It didn't start to load, it does not appear as a drive in Windows Explorer.

    I rebooted the computer with the trendy Sansa. No improvement. I ran "Find the hardware changes" on the USB entry in Device Manager. No change.

    I tried the Sansa in computer from Vista to my wife (who also accused there from time to time). Same result - the computer does not recognize the Sansa.

    Any ideas, please?

    Try performing a reset before you plug it into your computer to charge. There may be just enough juice left for this. You can usually squeeze a few more drops of a flat (any type) battery by heating slightly he. Maybe put it in your Pocket next to your body under a sweater for a while, or take it to bed with you. Your body heat to warm up gently.

    Now that old hat so to speak, press and hold the market/menu button while you count to 20. You can do it silently so the people around you do not think you have freaked out. OK, now, release the button and after a few seconds, press again to see if it boots up on its own. If so, place the cable of life support (Sansa) to quick before he dies again.

  • Why my data Ext Hard Drive WORD & EXCEL from my old computer does not recognize my new computer with Windows 7.

    Recently, I replaced an old computer running Windows XP with a newer computer of Windows7.

    I have TWO Toshiba external hard drives 2... one of them (Mdl HDDR250E03X) is used for external backup of data on my computer.  I started using it for my old computer that was running on Windows XP.  Due to a Trojan infection, I had to buy a new computer running Windows 7.  I thought that the hard drive is simply a plug-and-play device, BUT my new computer has not recognized that there is a device plugged until someone suggested that I make a change in the Device Management section (which only works at Midway).  My new computer now sees that the drive is there, BUT the data displayed under a name of file/folder (dec22a69bbd43e6966c9935e4720f7).  Data include WORD files, EXCEL files and .jpg files.  When I click on this long file/folder name, I get a long list of records as well as other unknown files that I don't recognize.  Inside each of the files is the SAME set of files (EULA, LocalizedData and SetupResources.dll.  When I try to save a WORD or EXCEL file on this disk, I tells me that the drive is empty, then the path and destination does not allow me to record anything.  I suspect that the problem lies in the Windows 7 software to recognize the hard drive but, I'm totally new to this Windows 7.  Everyone recognizes what is the problem?   I KNOW that the data is always there because I ran my virus on this single drive software and I could see many file names as they were read.

    What are you help save external hard disk?
    It is built in the backup part OS backup software or a 3rd?

  • Satellite P300-16 t - adding a second drive HARD-success!

    I have added a second hard drive today for my Toshiba P300-16 t.

    I realized that I had a Toshiba SATA drive in a USB disk device that would spare - 250 gb.

    I improvised by removing the feet spread on the cover of the second cage to hard disk using a sharp knife. I put the Bank in place ensuring maximum safety. I also used a heat-resistant material (say what) to secure the drive up as readers are rarer than hen's teeth. I made sure that the reader also had room to breathe. The cover was then released and I turned on my computer and it found the new HDD, the installed drivers at home but hey presto! Another 250 GB to play with.

    Now, I did it is because I call four FSA in the United Kingdom but they weren't any help by providing a cage for the second disc.
    Two said they only deal with businesses and not individuals.
    Others have said that they only provide power cables and batteries!
    Hope that my Tosh never goes down and I must use their services...

    Anyway, I don't recommend anyone do what I just - it is possible if you are a bit adventurous...

    Have you used the Hotglue?

    Surely, you can get the FSA HARD drive media. Unless there is a global shortage on cradles P300: p
