• Satellite L40: How can I recover the files from the hard drive

  Hello

  Can someone help me please. About a week ago I started to have a clicking sound coming from my laptop Satellite L40. My laptop froze and when I restarted, I was directed to the system configuration with a message at the bottom saying
  "Pri Master Hard Disk Drive SMART status bad, Backup and replace."
  Press F2 to assume. »

  I pressed F2, but I don't have any idea what to do?

  Can someone tell me how do I backup my files until my HDD disappeared completely or if it was can I use another device to get down them.

  I tried using the recovery disk, but the disk does not respond?

  Help, please

  Pete

  Hello

  This message looks like a warning of S.M.A.R.T. notification
  This means that your HARD disk will eventually fail.
  It can happen in the next few days or it can't happen for a few months but the SMART feature has detected that the drive is wrong then it should be replaced as soon as possible.
  It seems that your laptop is not very old, so the warranty should cover all replacements.

  I see only one way to access and back up the data. Eventually, you could buy an external enclosure SATA USB HARD drive and was able to connect the HARD drive to another computer.
  I don't know if you will be able to access the HARD drive because of the failure, but if you want you can try this m.

  Good luck

• Can I delete individual files in a backup of Windows 7?

  Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to delete individual files from a backup. I like to keep my backups tidy and get rid of files that I would need is more if I need to restore.

  Thank you
  Mike

  Hi Mike,.

  First of all, it can normally be done, but it's not simple (and much more complicated/difficult {to the point where some people will say "no, it cannot be done"} if it is an image backup full rather than a full backup; and even with a full, more complicated backup but just more effort if differential backups indivdual also play a role, since you may need to check each of them also).

  That said, the answer will also depend on what you used as backup destination.  If it was and external HARD disk or a separate internal HDD or a network location, then you will probably be OK.  If you used a set of DVD or CD, it of extraordinarily difficult or, if the drives are not the RW types (but guys R), impossible (since you cannot make changes to them once they are written).

  See this thread to see if it helps: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/delete-individual-files-from-a-backup/5dbbe219-e062-4a11-9d87-a8ec26d97174.  Don't forget to use Browse for the files, as you see not individual files with browse for folders.

  If this does not help, then I recommend research and/or validation of help in the TechNet Forum dedicated specifically to the problems of backup here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsbackup/.

  In my case, since I the backups periodicals full image as well as weekly full backups (with daily differential backups) AND maintain multiple copies as "backup backups' so to speak, it would be even more complicated.  If I felt the need to do (but I don't see a good reason, it would be NECESSARY that desperately and leave just the time to cure the problem), I would probably remove the file from the system and just launch a new series of backups that although a lot of time, maybe more simple in the end.

  Good luck!

• can I delete the files from the backup.backupb folder?

  I'm trying to restore a backup time machine on a hard drive that is smaller than the backup. It is safe for me to delete unnecessary files from the backup.backupb folder?

• How can I delete a file from my backup/archiving?

  I am new to computers and I'm still trying to understand a lot of what happens, I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop with OS Vista Home Premium on a 64-bit platform. I downloaded a program to open an attachment, I received in an email, only to find out that I had to pay for it so I uninstalled when I did that he left behind a pop up that starts with the startup program, it tells me that there is a problem with the installation and to reorganize. I went to the boot file on all programs at the start of the menu found and deleted, but the next time I start the computer the pop showed once again. I went back to the file and there are still and removed the more I found it in other programs, including my C drive, I deleted all the and the next time I start the computer of pop showed once again. I went to the boot again file and this is once again so I removed it, while he was in the trash, I clkd on the properties and I found a box saying archives with a mark of chk in the box. Guess the file itself is the reproduction in the archives and the archives are backup is I? So, how in my backup file to find the file for the pop up and remove? If I can, I went through several books I have on computers but there is no explanation and I tried the computer but I can't find any specific information that will help. I sent several different security screens through the computer and it did not pop up (called cure pilot) (using Norton, Superantispyware, and Microsoft Security Essentials) so I don't think it is malware and my computer is not having more or less problems than what she normally. If I can't dig the file and delete any other ideas on what to do with it? I'll download CC Cleaner and try it. Thanks for any help.

• How can I recover my files from hard drive on a clean hard disk, Diskpart

  I tried to install Windows 8 Preview, however, I kept getting a message saying that Windows is to not install the disk hard because it was in the GPT format or something. When this happened, a forum on the internet suggested that I use DiskPart to clean the disc. I did as he said, not realizing that it would literally clean off my hard drive. I am trying to use another hard disk and install a (overview of Win8) OS on it so that I can access the old hard drive and retrieve it using a program called TestDisk http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk

  I hope that it will work, but I would like to comment on this and maybe some VIP tips.
  At this point, any advice is good advice.
  Thank you

  First of all, I would highly recommend NOT to use Windows 8 for your recovery efforts.  New systems of operating have incompatibilities with the generation previous tools and utilities - witness to the fact that all of the major anti-virus companies update their products to Windows 8.  Stay with a published known operating system.

  Then, realizing that what you do for the old hard disk decreases the chance that you will be able to recover the files.  You would ideally take the disc, put it in an antistatic bag and ship it to a recovery company data that you would charge probably hundreds of thousands of dollars to recover your data, but was probably a chance of recovering 100% as long as the player has not been written to since the diskpart session.

  Having never been in the position that you are in because my computer gets backed up every night, I can't recommend a recovery product based on personal use. I've seen a good many people recommend Recuva (http://www.piriform.com/recuva) and it would probably do the work for you... but remember once again, play you with the reader, becomes it is likely that you will not be able to recover at all.

  The file would be very likely in $ directory ORACLE_HOME/mobile_oc4j/j2ee/mobileserver/applications/mobileserver/devmgr. I think that the name of the directory would be identical to the device id.

• How can I transfer encrypted files from old hard drive removed (transfer windows easy?)

  Hello

  I'm trying to get some files off my old hard drive encrypted. He has xp on it, and I can't start on my new computer. Since it is a separate, apparently, I can't do either windows easy transfer. Is it possible for me to locate the certificate and key, or to transfer files with the key and the certificate on my new computer (I have password from the old computer if I need that)? Can I somehow run WET on this hard drive for keys/certificates can be transferred. This seems to be a common problem from what I have read.
  Otherwise, do you have ideas on how to start my old xp disk on my new system without reformatting?
  Very important to get these files.
  Thank you!

  First of all, I assume you mean encrypted files (EFS, Encrypting File System).  These files are encrypted with a key that is still encrypted in your system like a certificate.  In order to read your encrypted on any other system files, you must restore the certificate from a backup.  The short article is mandatory for anyone considering the use of EFS:

• How can I recover the files of failed hard drive

  Hello

  Apparently, my hard drive failed on my HP.  I'm running Windows XP with the latest service pack.
  I get a black screen that says "disk error, press ctrl + atl + del to restart".
  Given that it is a 7 year old computer, I don't see the need to put a lot of effort in intensive care there.
  But I would like to get some of the files on the hard drive.
  Can anyone suggest a way to access the contents of the hard drive?  I would like to get some Word, excel, PDF files.  Nothing major.
  Thank you
  AS

  Hello

  If the drive has indeed failed then you need professional services which are very expensive. Best
  method would be to contact your local computer store, the other his own service in-house, and have
  check out them the disc. Eventually, they can recover your files and they know all local professional
  services available in your area.

• How can I recover my files from my broken Macbook Pro (13 in. end 2011)?

  Hi all

  I had some problems charger abroad and had to use a charger of mash-up the top of a friend. The charger has ended up working but finally died and also killed my macbook with it (do not start or accept the charge of a new charger). The battery indicator still works. I had checked it free of charge from abroad and the iStore has stated that it is from a broken logicboard. I've already replaced the laptop but I would like to recover the hard disk or files, because they have all my pictures and videos of my year abroad with my girlfriend. I'm not really worried to recover the laptop, just files or hard drive.

  Thanks again

  Remove the hard disk and place it in an external enclosure - then that connect to the current laptop and read the files that it

• Can't access the files from the HARD drive of any account on the windows computer 7

  Hello

  When I tried to connect my Western digital external hard drive to a 32-bit desktop P 3 with a Windows XP SP1, then this HARD drive is not detected. Then I tried to copy his WD driver ITS a USB Flash drive, then isntalled all the WD HARD drive was always plugged into my computer. After that, the HARD drive was identified by computer and appear in my computer. As I thought that this folder has been created by the installation of the driver, did not exist on my HARD drive before connected to the desktop computer.

  When I plugged my WD HDDagain to my laptop HP with Windows 7 SP1 64 bit and I tried open this folder, and then the main folder only opened without facing access denied, however, access to all of its subfolders, and the files inside it has been declined.

  In addition, althoguh the username admin Curernet "Mohammad" can open the folder of human "83f04ce083fb03083bb88e50", as shown in the screenshot above, it can not access all of the subfolders, files in the main folder, and to access, I will need to use the scecurity tab. Thus, it would be absolute nonsense, if I want to have access to all of the subfolders, I will need to use the security for each tab.

  How do I gain access to all of the subfolders with use of the Security tab once the time (i.e. as long as all subfolders are inside the main folder, then simply use the main folder security tab?

  

  As long as the current username "Mohammad" can open the folder of "83f04ce083fb03083bb88e50" man, "Mohammad" is so allowed system to have access to the main folder as shown in the screenshot above, then I think that the username 'Mohammad' will have to reach all subfolders as well. However, when you try to open any subfolder or file, then the current user 'Mohammad' name could not have access to all of the subfolders in the main folder and all subfolders or files opening gave me this error below (screenshots below)

  

  

  I tried to remove this main folder, however, each time, I found myself with a loop "you need permission SYSTEM to make changes to this file.

  

  Original title: file access denied

  Groan.  It is so easy to fix, and you should have gotten a lot better support now.  Surprisingly, the worst suggestion came directly from the "Microsoft Support Engineer" Reda Singh, his suggestion potentially compromising the security of your computer while doing absolutely nothing to solve the problem.  Fortunately, it seems like you didn't do something quite right and so the script was not run.

  First of all, let me explain why this difficult access occurs in the first place.  Originally, you had three 'users' granted access to training, SYSTEM, Administrators, and Mohammad.  SYSTEM allows Windows to read your disk, and retrieve things like its label.  It can also allow your antivirus software to access the drive.  Because this OPTION is enabled, Administrators is not accomplish anything, even if you are an administrator.  As long as this OPTION is enabled, this permission only works for programs, that you manually raised to run as administrator.  This leaves access to the drive depend on the last entry, Mohammad.  The problem is the SID behind Mohammad is only good on the computer, it was created, so if you connect this HARD drive on another computer, no access is allowed!  Enter the security on the other computer dialog box, you can either see something "could not read permissions" or you will see the SYSTEM, directorsand a third entry with a long series of numbers.  It's your first computer Mohammad , and it will not work on another computer.

  It is not surprising that you're facing this problem because you are using the drive on multiple computers, which is running XP that is not UAC.  Here's how to unlock a storage drive (in Windows 7) so that it can be normally accessed in any PC without any permissions problem:

  1. Press [Windows] (or click on the circles to start), and then type "user account control".
  2. In the search results, click on "change user account control settings."
  3. Drag the slider to "never notify".
  4. Click [OK] to confirm the changes and restart your computer.
  5. Open Windows Explorer, right-click on the affected drive, and then click Properties -> Security (tab)-> [Advanced]-> owner (tab)-> [change].
  6. You should be on a dialog box that asks what you want to change the owner.  Click on Administrators.
  7. Check Replace owner of subcontainers and objects, and click [OK].  Windows should start processing all the files on the disc.  This may take a few minutes.
  8. When it's done, click [OK] to close the property message and then close out of all other dialog boxes.
  9. In Windows Explorer, click the drive affected again, and then click Properties -> Security (tab)-> [Advanced]-> [edit permissions].
  10. Now in the dialog box Advanced security settings , click the button [delete] repeatedly to remove all permission entries.
  11. Add SYSTEM and grant full control.
      1. Click on [Add...].
      2. Type 'SYSTEM' and press [Enter].
      3. Check full control in the allow column and press [Enter].
  12. Add Administrators and grant full control.
  13. Add users and grant Full control.
  14. In the dialog box Advanced security settings , you should have three entrances of permissions: SYSTEM Administratorsand users, all granted full control.  Check "Replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable from this object" and click [OK].
  15. Click [Yes] to confirm the replacement of permissions.  Again, Windows start to process all files on the disk, which may take a few minutes.
  16. When he finishes, close to all the dialog boxes and check that all records are now accessible.  You may have to refresh (or close and reopen) explore to see the changes.
  17. Assuming that it worked, we will re-enable UAC to reduce the vulnerability of temporary security, that we created earlier.  Press [Windows] and then type 'user account control '.
  18. In the search results, click on "change user account control settings."
  19. Drag the slider to the position below the top (position #2, by default).
  20. Click [OK] and restart your computer.  Now, the files remain accessible.

  This should straighten the permissions of your disk storage so that you can use it again.  You may need to empty the trash on this drive after changing permissions.

  Don't do this procedure on your C:\ drive, it will seriously reduce the security of your Windows installation.  This is for the readers of storage only.  If you need access to a specific file that you created to C:\, you can safely do the steps above on this issue, but never on the C:\ drive itself.  Please note that when you perform this procedure on a folder instead of a hard drive, you will need to replace this step #10:

  10. now in the dialog box Advanced security settings , uncheck the box "Include permissions can be inherited from the parent to this object" and click [delete] to confirm.  If some permission entries remain, click [Remove] until they are all gone.

  The concept is the same in Windows Vista, even if the exact steps differ from the foregoing at least Windows 8.  In Windows 8, you must also disable UAC with a registry tweak because, unlike Windows 7, UAC remains on even when the value of "Never notify", giving rise to all sorts of problems in Explorer tries to work with file permissions.

  Oh and to answer one other question I saw you ask from the beginning: this folder of the .net Framework was created by .net Framework Installer.  He breaks all the rules and frustrating unpacks his junk everywhere where it feels like.  I got it decompress on a front SD card, making the installation would take forever.  After installing the .net Framework, you probably disconnected the drive before restarting your computer, so these files let me.  Or the installation crashed and started you again.  Meanwhile, installs the failure left its Temp files behind.  It was supposed to remove the folder when the installation is complete.  You can remove safely as the folder manually.
