• Linksys EA6900 - cannot access external hard drive USB USB1 of more

  Linksys Firmware 1.1.42.161129 Ea6900

  I had a Linksys EA6900 router for the last 6 months.  I had 2 USB 3.0 4 TB drives Seagate external hard connected to the back of the router

  USB1 - 4 TB Media

  USB2 - 4 TB Backup

  Things worked very well, but I got hurt in the last weeks, I can access is more than 4 to Media of USB1

  I can connect two hard drives on my laptop Win 10 and access it fine, I scanned to find errors

  I can put a USB2 hard drive and access it through the Linksys router.

  I can't access one of them through USB1

  BUT

  I can plug other things on USB1 and access them very well

  1. 8 GB USB drives ok

  1 GB Transcend externak disc ok

  3 TB Seagate harrdrive via a Dock HD ok

  This logic, I can't work on where is the problem - it's the router or hard drives.

  I restarted the router, no change

  Ensure access to records: Off

  FTP server: disabled

  Media Server: on

  Does anyone have ideas, what happens with USB1 port?

  Hello. It's actually very weird. Given that you can't pinpointthe cause of the problem, I recommend that you reset, then reconfigure the router to try to solve this problem. Just be sure to save your settings. We'll see if it works.

• After formatting main HD and reinstall Vista 64, it cannot access a hard drives he could access format pre

  I can't access a secondary SATA disk on my Vista 64 installation.  Here's the context: I have two SATA HD in my office.  I use one for the OS and the second as storage device.  Now that I'm done with a format and reinstall, I have Vista 64 back up and running and fully implemented to date.  Now that it is operational, I noticed that I can not access the 2nd HD (the storage disk).  The computer knows that it is attached and it can read technical information.  The BIOS sees the drive, device manager sees the drive, Disk Manager sees the drive, and I have a program 3rd party (Everest) that I use to monitor its use and the time he sees too much.  I can see the size of the disk, manufacturer, etc. but I can not access the information on the disk.

  What can I do to remedy this situation?  He worked before (pre format) without problem, why it is not working now?  No physical connection have changed, so I don't see why it would be unavailable.

• Old access portable hard drive which had the windows user password

  My old laptop's motherboard is fried.  I took the hard drive and put in the case of the speaker.  want to access the files on the old hard drive but it was password protected.  How can I get rid of this password or be able to access the hard disk?  Thank you

  You can't install a program on the old hard drive to the new hard drive and expect it to work. You must install the program on your new computer and open the data from there. It does not matter that the old installation of Windows has been protected by. It also does not matter if you have UAC enabled for the old installation of Windows or not. The only place it's important is the new installation of Windows which you are working. If you still do not have the data , you need - not the programs - within your new installation of Windows, start the new computer with a Live Linux CD (Knoppix or Ubuntu) and copy the data to your new hard drive. Linux will not honor Windows permissions.

  If you still cannot understand this, consider the computer and the drive to a local professional reputable (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place). They will be able to get your data easily.

• No access to users on the old hard drive

  I have a weird problem, I can not access my /Desktop documents/photos/music on my old hard drive files and, basically, all that is in the / users.

  I tried to change the permission settings but I can't make it work and sometimes it says I don't have permission to change, it's so weird because I can access other things which is just placed on the hard drive and not on / users. I just upgraded my computer and put this hard drive but I run my operating system on an SSD instead, I tried to plug the old hard drive but it does not work it restarts just when it starts to load windows.
  It feels as if I have to hack my old hard drive in a way to make it possible to access.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  1. you receive an error message/code when you try to access the files on your old hard drive? If Yes, what is the full error message?

  2 were there any hardware or software changes made on the computer before this problem?

  Do the methods and check if it helps.

  Initially, a virus using Microsoft Safety scanner scan and check if the problem persists.

  
  Method 1

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Important: While running scan on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when scanning try to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

   

  Method 2

  Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists, if the question does not persist then perform the clean boot and check if the problem resolves.

  Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed. Please click the below mentioned link.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Method 3

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

   

  Let us know the status of the issue.

• Had to reinstall CS2 in new computer Win7x64. Old hard drive of the computer is dead. Could not recover. Cannot enable reloading of CS2.  Any suggestions?

  I recently had a Win7 computer down and I decided to buy a Win7 upgrade solid x 64 computer.

  Reloaded all my apps I had on the old pc (couldn't use the old hard drive.  He's dead!  New system has SSDS)

  Each top-up went fine except for my CS2 software.

  He said that I had to activate my software.  Not much so I tried via 'internet' and received a window "Activation Server is not available".

  So, I went "Phone Activation" and got a window with my serial number and an activation number, with the Activation Type: Normal 24:24

  He said to call 866-772-3623, which only said to go to www.adobe.com/go/activation everything which was take me for an explanation of the activation page who basically told me to do what I had done in the first place.  for example, no help at all.

  I tried the direct number: 206-675-6222.  (The number was disconnected)

  So my question... How can I get an activation code of my CS2 software?  Where should I go, either by phone or through the net?

  You need to acquire a special version with its special activation code.  See the following...
