Best way to move files?

My laptop XP Media Center 2005 killed above, but the drive is good.  I have it in a USB external hard drive enclosure.  I want to transfer the files on my computer Vista Home Basic.

Folders are visible, but the files are not accessible.  I tried to take possession, but not luck.  I right click on a folder, click on 'ownership' and a pop window for a split second and that's it.

I intend to make an external hard drive, but I want to get the old files first.

This is probably a permissions issue - or a problem with the way or the sequence that you do things (or you are not logged as an administrator - it must be).  I've included links to additional information and procedures and procedures below that may be useful.

It also depends on what files you are trying to transfer.  Actually, you can only transfer the data in your profile (and your mail database and contact base and perhaps a few other files - but none of the programs or files system without major changes - and these files will not work on the new system anyway because they need to be installed to work properly).

To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  Remember that a denial of access to all replaces all other permissions and must be removed if you want to do something with the files.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Best way to move the file from one server to another VM

    Hello

    We will soon be moving on ESX3.5 45 virtual machines on the same network to ESX4.0 on another network.  What is the best/best way to move these files?  The original network, the files are stored locally on the server and run ESX3.5i.  However, on the other network, data warehouses are on a San and the ESX hosts are in a cluster.  Both networks are in the same physical location and can meet.  I guess I can do it from the CLI of in ESX?

    Thank you

    If you have two hosts in vCenter Server, you can move the virtual machines without Storage vMotion (Powered-off VMs).
    It is not necessary that both hosts have access to the San using cold migration.
  • What is the best way to move and organize records

    I recently bought a Mac Pro and have bought files across the FRO my windows laptop but what is the best way to organize the files iCloud or local drive and how do I move files in my list of "all files" in individual cases.

    In case you are not aware, all the files that you put in iCloud drive are on your disk local and iCloud.

    You can go to preferences in the Finder menu and specify whether you want iCloud drive to display in the sidebar of the Finder. I find that having it in the sidebar makes it easy to use. I also have other folders I used frequently in the sidebar; You can add the system ones (Documents, downloads, etc.) using this same preferences window. You can add folders that you created them by dragging to the sidebar of a Finder window.

    A way to move files into folders that you created is to open 2 windows in the Finder and drag it from one window to the other. Another option, if you move a file in one of the folders that is displayed in the sidebar is just do it from its current location in the main area of the Finder to the folder window in the sidebar in this same window of Finder.

    A virtual machine is encapsulated in a set of files, making it easy to carry; You can copy the files from the virtual machine using WinSCP or any other program to the destination host. Register the vmx on the new host and turn on the virtual machine. You may also look @ of Veeam FastSCP for this purpose. I have not had the chance to use it yet, but it's free and seems very popular with the community:

  • What is the best way to move the data from the app and Server data structures?

    Hi guys,.

    I developed my application locally with Apex 4.2 and Oracle 11 g XE on Windows 7. Not far away, it is time to move the application to a server Oracle Apex. I guess that Exim is the way to go app. But what about the APA tables and data (tables/as 'customer' and 'account' created specially for the application)? I've been using a modeling tool, so I can run a DDL script to create the database server data structures. What is the best way to move the application data on the server? Is it possible to move the structures and data in a single process?

    Thank you
    Kim

    There is probably another way to get here, but in Developer SQL, on the navigation tree, expand objects until your table, right-click, and then click EXPORT... you will see all the options. It is a tedious process and it sucks IMO, but yes, it works. This is zero especially because 1) it's a table at a time, 2) If your data model is robust and has constraints and sequences and triggers, then you will need to disable all for the insert and we hope you can re-enable constraints, etc. without hitch (good luck, unless you have only a handful of tables)

    I prefer to use the oracle EXP command-line to export an entire schema, then the server target, I use IMP to import the schema. In this way, it is almost true. This makes the dirty life if you develop multiple applications in a single schema, and I felt pain - however - it is much easier to drop the tables and other objects is to create them! (thus, even if the process of EXP/IMP moved more than you wanted to "move".. blow everything you don't want on the target after the fact...)

    You can use method datapump oracle too.

    If not, what can be done, IF you have access to both servers of your instance of SQL developer (or if you can tnsping both already from the command line, you can use SQL * MORE), is to run a script that will identify the objects of your applications apex (usually by the prefix for the names of objects, such as % EBA_PROJ_ etc.) and do all the manual work for you. I've created a script that does just that so that I can pass data from dev to prod servers on a dblink. It is difficult because of the order that must be executed to disable constraints and then turn it back on and of course, more complicated if don't always precede you ALL your "objects demand '... (tables, views, triggers, sequences, functions, procs, indexes, etc.)

  • What is the best way to move another server Vcenter Server?

    Hello

    We have 3 nodes VMWARE running with VSpere 4.0.0 and a Vcenter Server 4.0.0. The server running the server Vcenter on disorders gives and must be replaced. What is the best way to move the VCenter server on the new server and keep all the settings?

    And is it possible to update at the same time to VCenter Server 4.0.1?

    Thank you

    Marcel

    There is no problem, I also think that it is the best way if you do not have a large environment - usually takes less time :-). Remove first the hosts of the other vcenter - this will make the vcenter agent to be uninstalled from the ESXs.

  • What is the best way to move around in a document?

    Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but what is the best way to move around in a document zoomed in?

    The only method I have found so far is to slide with two fingers, which maintains the resizing of the document when it moves.

    No hand tool? No way to zoom to 100%? No way to fill the screen with the document?

    Let me know, thanks.

    Hello

    Panning is done with two fingers, that is you put two fingers on the screen, then move in the same direction.

    You can also zoom by moving the fingers in the opposite direction, as when you zoom in.

    Thank you

  • The best way to move the physical servers in a data center

    Hello everyone.

    We have 3 physical database servers and you want to move to a data center.

    These servers are primary servers 2 with the infrastructure of grid and race of RDBMS oracle as stand-alone server + ASM and a standby with three instances server = an ASM + 2 instances of RDBMS for the primary servers corresponding instance.

    Each said server has 2 interfaces eth - one to be used with DG and another to deal with the demands of the customers.

    The standby server has three interfaces eth - two of them are used with DG ant the third to process requests from clients.

    So the question is what would be the best and most simple way to move all the data from these servers to the cetre of data taking into account the fact that there are three corresponding virtual server already exists whith the sama of RDBMS and Linux version.

    Hello again;

    I moved a little smaller primary and waiting that my slip was something like this:

    1. on the primary database see the standby destination.

    2. on the current expectation cancel recovery and closing of the database.

    3. create directories of database on the new server.

    4. edit the tnsnames.ora on the primary current

    5. Add the tnsnames.ora and listener.ora on the new server.

    6. move the password files and spfile on the new server.

    7 Tnsping both servers

    8 use scp to move the database to the new server.

    9 start the recovery, and check gap

    Create a scp of SQL

    set the position

    Set feedback off

    set pagesize 100

    set linesize 400

    Select 'scp'. B.SID |' server_name:' | B.SID as newname from v$ datafile;

    Select 'scp'. B.SID |' server_name:' | B.SID as newname from v$ controlfile;

    Select 'scp'. a.Member |' server_name:' | a.Member as newname v$ logfile;

  • Best way to move the photos to an external drive and subsequent backups? Without using the TM

    I filled out my current 1 GB drive external hard, so have bought another. This time around 4 GB...

    I don't want to see TM this time I just spend all my photos/videos from my Mac to the HD and much obviously, then continue to do that in the future.

    What is the best way to do it? Also, taking into account future backups, I don't want to reproduce the photos/videos.

    At soon all, Russ.

    You can exclude files/folders in Time Machine preferences.

    However, I do not understand what you want to do in the future. If you only have photos in one place, you do not have a backup.

  • WIP Interface - the best way to move jobs next year

    I currently supports a WIP application that creates the work of ONGOING work using the wip_job_schedule_interface table.  After the charge mass WIP job runs, the task is created in the first operation.  The user asked if we can automate move the work to the next step, the user would perform all subsequent shots.  I'm new to work-in-PROGRESS, so I'll try to read up on the best way to do it.

    So far, I only found the WIP_MOVE_TXN_INTERFACE as a possibility.  My thought would be that after the task is created, and then use this interface board to make the trip.  What is the best route, or can do something during the creation of intitial interface to achieve this?

    Thank you.

    Yes, it is a good option.

    Suppose you have operations such as 10, 20, 30, 40

    and that users want you to answer operations 10 and 20...

    You can also check with them why cant they perform a move operation the queue of 10 to 40 - queue (instead of 30-queue in the queue of 40)

    Thank you

  • Best way to transfer files at VMAs

    My first experience with the vMA was very painful.  I needed to transfer files to it but found that the only way to do it, use an ISO from CD image at first glance, /!  Come, I will not burn a CD just for the purpose of the simple file transfer!

    Then, I looked a little further and found that there is what we call vcli (or something like that) in a pdf file.  Well, I spent about 15 minutes on vivid, but I have not basic of it.  Another 30 minutes later I finally understand what he's saying and managed to the list of files in a data store.  But no matter what I do, he has refused to "copy"!  Still the error!  And in fact, it seems, it is not possible to copy multiple files using the '-c' option!  What is stupid vcli?

    Fortunately, I was able to find a FTP server which I could download files.  And Fortunately there is once again a client ftp in vMA.  So finally, I managed to transfer files to vMA thereby!

    I don't know about you, but the only and the best way is FTP, you provided either could find some FTP servers to which you have permission, write or you can set one up without spending too much time!

    WHA do you think?

    Or should I really burned the CD Holy!

    Hello.

    I almost always just use WinSCP to transfer files to vMA.

    Good luck!

  • What is the best way to use files recovery

    I work in FM 11 and broke FM a few times. What is the best way to use the recovery files and save them as normal files? So should I filter a window of the Explorer to "recovery" so FM don't ask me if I want to use the older recovery files? Thanks for your help.

    > What is a wash of the MIF?

    1. Save all the files of FM component .mif as MIF format.
      Save the .book as. book.MIF in the MIF format.
    2. Output FM.
      Restart FM.
    3. Open .mifs. Save as FM, replacing the old (FM probably saved files).
    4. Open the. book.MIF, re - register under .book.
      Note: do not open the. first book.MIF and then try to open the component files, or open the files binary pre - MIF.

    FM11 and 12 can have a free add-on as much as the fact in a single operation.

    Washing MIF creates new .book files and FM have syntactically correct data structures (and that may have lack of bad content). They are less likely to crash, but can still have problems.

  • Best way to move data from one page to another within the app

    Hi all as I started to write that and was way to complicated to explain in full without a novel.

    Brief description. I use the query string that begins in the parent (from href in JSON) window must then be moved in the iframe url when moving to other pages to avoid security as a page and iframe is conflicting http and https. and are not accessible... It seems that there must be a better way.

    So my question is what is the best way in a platform open to move data from one page to another?

    You do it this way, it's in the menu.json, but when you work within the iframe and if your loading pages in applications using vairable relative URLS cross they come through.
    Discovered only this framework using the browser and you can se the construction and scope of all URLS used.

    The apps are sandboxed you cannot access aything in the parent frame, this is a feature of derliberate if something you can not do.

    As I said, you have a few methods to your own data storage space.
