• Cannot rename personal folders on external drive

  I have an external drive WD Passport that I keep my personal files. After having a virus deleted, I find that I can not rename one of my files due to the read-only attribute being degraded.  I am running Windows XP Home Edition.  I tried to restart in Mode safe and by changing the attributes it - didn't work.  I tried to change the attributes by using the command prompt - did not work.  I need to get this shady read-only out of my files so they can be renamed.  Any ideas?

  I'm sorry that apparently you won't believe me - or Microsoft.

  Other things to try/test. I don't know if you have tried these things or not.

  1. are you able to rename the files/folders on a drive different from the system external hard? If not, then maybe some infection had damaged you Windows files. If this is the case, then you can try the (sfc/scannow) System File Checker or a repair installation, or do a clean installation of Windows. There is no way for me to know the exact state of your computer from here, or what would be best for you to do.

  2. can you rename the files/folders on the hard disc of origin if it is attached to another computer? If Yes, the problem points to your original operating system is damaged by the virus. If not, then the virus probably damaged files on the external hard drive. It is not uncommon, especially if you have been infected by a kind of ransomware. Again, I have no way of knowing that you have been infected.

  3. If you can rename the files/folders on a different hard disk, you can also try to move the data off the external problem, formatting and see if you can rename the files now.

  And that's all I have. Good luck in your efforts. I have nothing else to add about this.

• Cannot restore the files from hard drive damaged in disk utility

  Questions

  1. can I save my files/fix this problem without having to restore via disk utility?

  2. What am I doing wrong / I can do to restore correctly on an external hard drive via disk utility?

  Background

  Last week when I turned my MacBook Pro 2012 I got stuck on the gray login screen. The progress bar moves very, very slowly and when he finished my laptop spontaneously restarted and repeated the same thing over and over again. Here's what I tried to do so far:

  -Start in SafeMode: does not work

  -Extended Apple Diagnostics/Apple Hardware Test: test results: no problem found

  -Utility (recovery and valorisation of the Internet) disk: disk hard Mac (Apple HDD) and Recovery (partition) HD are not damaged, but the partition disk0s2 is (created after a failure; a year not logged - if it matters) and in 'check' and 'fix' the latter I get inconsistent error messages.

  Disk utility error messages

  Most often, I get this error:

  The volume disk0s2 was found damaged and must be repaired. Error: This disc needs to be repaired. Click on the ERD.

  Stopped disk utility check "disk0s2."

  Disk0s2 volume could not be repaired after 3 attempts.

  Error: Disk utility can't repair the disk. Save as many files as possible, reformat the drive and restore your files packed around the top.

  I also received this error message once:

  Wrong number of extended attributes (it should be 730585 instead of 730589)

  Wrong number of access control lists (there are 1364 instead of 1368)

  Save the files to external hard drive?

  Before that I didn't even used/accessed Time Machine.  I have a new HDD external, formatted for Mac. I created two partitions: backup and Time Machine (so I can start using it once I have find this current issue). When I try to restore disk0s2 external hard disk I get an error restore failed (252 or 254, I think).

  When you drive is damaged, it is extremely difficult to make progress.

  I recommend the lessee a spare drive in an external enclosure and install MacOS on it again. Then boot from that and you are back in business. You can use the full power of Mac OS AND additional utilities to recover your files.

  More 350 000 files on your damaged disc are Mac OS - and those that can be installed in replicas of prefect by a new installation on a new drive. You can't Brute force 'all' copy of a damaged disc. What you want back damaged drive is not Mac OS X files - you want YOUR files. They are stored in the Directory/users in a folder with your short user name. with additional utilities, you can simply copy this directory, or use a recovery as data rescue program to get individual files.

• Cannot see all files on external drives (external HARD drive / flashdrives)

  Edit * directories to the folders still exist, I can access when I type in my address bar, but I can't see the icon to click on it.

     

  Hello

  Windows 7 sometimes has trouble seeing external drives. Found one potential than me and other solution is to download and install the freeware Aomei Partition Assistant application, download it here: http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html?tag=mncol;1 (only use the Direct download link).

  Once installed, go to the readers in question and one both select and select Properties. It is her, no formatting or partitioning required. Just select the drive is often enough to get Windows 7 to recognize.

  Post your results here and let me know how you fare.

• Cannot access my C drive whn saving quicken files

  Windows 7 Home Premium operating system.

  Initially, I couldn't access the C drive because I got the message that I need administrator privileges.  I found the answer to fix this problem, but when I try to save my quicken, data files for the quicken directory, I get the message, "there is no such thing as c:\program Quicken, you want to create?  When I click Yes I get a message "Please enter a valid directory."  I type in C:\program files\quicken\qdata12.qdf-backup command line.

  There are two folders Program Files under Windows 7.  The second is Program Files (x 86) quicken where was installed.  I tried to type C:\Program Files (x86)\quicken\qdata12.qdf-backup and get the message cannot access the C: drive.) Please make sure the disc is ready, and the disk is not write protected.

  I never had this problem on my other computer that is running Windows XP Home Edition SP3.

  No, it isn't a problem with Quicken.  By a previous answer, the problem is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit running.  It does not allow access to the Quicken directory as was the case of all other versions of windows and quicken which I've used since 1991.

  In Windows 7 Quicken is installed in C:\Program Files (x 86) \Quicken. Is the path of the file for saving my file qdata12.qdf: C:\Users\myusername\AppData, because that Win 7 protects the program files.

  After that, I try another option.

• Administrator cannot access the different (seemingly random) files

  Windows XP on my desktop computer connected to the home network and regularly synchronized with Windows 7 Home Premium on my laptop

  Problem #1

  I'm trying to access the files I often consulted on both computers before and now I'm getting "access is denied; need administrator rights. "I am and have always been the only user of both computers. More confusing still, some of these files does not open, certain opening but cannot be moved; some open but cannot be changed; some can be deleted but not restored (don't even ask), etc. but I can not find a model as to who filed what will do.  The same files work the same way on each computer.

  Problem #2

  How can you sift through and short-list possible solutions?

  I have searched for hours on other sites and found "solutions" posted between 2009 and today 5 hours ago.  I tried most of those I found except those included editing the registry (I'm chicken), which I justified by noting that they rarely worked for someone else than the poster of this solution.

  I have fostered new answers and responses with a large number of positive votes, but I see "solutions" that others say will cause his computer more harm than good even if they worked for some readers, or too technical for me to understand, solutions or solutions that work under a subset of the conditions that I've never heard before...

  Is there a site that usually has the best answers?  Or a person who usually gives the best answers? Or...?

• Cannot delete files to the trash (Recycle Bin access denied)

  System: Windows 7 Ent SP1 x 64, i7 930, 24GO RAM with all updates

  When I try to delete files in Windows Explorer, I get the following error (most of the time, but not always):

  Window with the title 'Recycle Bin access denied' and the message

  " cannot be moved to the trash. Do you want to permanently delete it? »

  I can then permanently delete the file, even if I sent to the trash.

  I tried the following (nothing works):

  -checked to see if the file is locked with Process Explorer (find handle or DLL)-it is not (and it can be removed permanently)

  -deleted all the recycle bins on all drives & restarted. New recycling bins have been created, but it did not help.

  -changed of owner of baskets and all files as (with the takeown command). Corrupt system baskets complained, emptied their and restored to their previous state. This did not help the primary problem.

  -set the maximum size to the size of the disk on all baskets. It has no effect on the main problem.

  -J' also checked the security for the folders tab $RECYCLE. BIN on all readers and define "Full control" for users. SYSTEM and administrators had already 'Full comtrol. This did not help also.

  What is strange (and new), is when I open the Recycle Bin, the files are always considered to be "Tiles" (which I did not). If I put it in 'Détails', the change is not permanent - the next time I open the Recycle Bin, the files are showed once again as "Tiles".

  What can I do to be able to delete (all) files via the Recycle Bin?

  Thanks Mike for the response, but none of the methods helped. There was no malware and even in safe mode, I could not delete files to the Recycle Bin. In addition, the original administrator account could not delete to the Recycle Bin.

  But I think I found the culprit:

  Apparently, this problem showed that in the downloads folder, to which I had many junctions (to be easily accessible). Due to lack of space on the C: drive, I remembered that I have moved through properties-> location on a disk with more space. Instead of the old folder in C:\Users\ downloads I put a junction pointing to the new location.

  Now, I had old junctions pointing to C:\Users\personal, which in turn was a junction pointing to a new location. Registration/creation/look at one/etc files in folder downloads accessible through 2 junctions was of course OK, but delete somehow was not able to delete files to the Recycle Bin. When I fixed the remaining junctions to point directly to the new location of the download folder, delete started working OK again.

  Summary:

  Delete the file (SHFileOperation?) is not able to use the trash, if the file is accessible via junction 2 points (or more?).

• Cannot access files on hard disk on windows xp, after I worked with it on win 7.

  Cannot access files on external hard drive on windows xp, after that I worked with him on Victory 7.I can see the file, but he says "is not accessible. access is denied. " Can someone help me?

  As you can guess, this is a permissions problem.  Here, it makes a difference if you have XP Home or Pro you have to safe boot mode to change permissions in the House.

  My crystal ball says that your external drive is formatted with the NTFS file system.  When you connected to Windows 7 (or any other computer besides), the files have been added that this user permissions apparently understood that only Win 7 has access to.  There are several ways to handle this...

  Is to save on all your files and reformat the external hard drive with a FAT32 file system and then support files.  You will have no problems of permissions with FAT32, but you can't have any higher than 4 GB single file either.

  Another way is as an administrator, to 'Ownership' of all the files on the disk
  "How appropriate a file or a folder in Windows XP"
     <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308421 >
  but this could get old if the drive moves back.

  Yet another approach is to give "Everyone" full access to everything on the drive.  This may or may not protect against new folders or files added, but may be worth a try:
  As a user administrator, open a command window:
  Start-> Run-> "cmd".
  Then, enter the command:
  CACLS E:\/t/e/c/g everyone: F
  (where I am assuming that your external drive is mounted as "E:" - change of real player)

  I hope that something more top is useful...
