• To access the files on Western Digital MYBOOK 500 GB external drive

  I'm on a PC running Svc Pack 3 Windows XP and had a Western Digital MYBOOK 500 GB external drive connected works very well and
  then I moved my PC set-up to another room and my problem began.

  When I turn on the system detects now the MYBOOK so I sent a message to Microsoft and received the following response:

  A computer that is running Windows XP cannot detect a USB, an Apple iPod flash drive or an external hard disk drive.
   
  YET, if I unplug the power of the MY BOOK and plug it back... it is now fastened on my system than the 'G' drive and I can open it, see the directory of the file but cannot open or access data.
   
  Also, once it is detected, I get the message balloon of text to the following address:
  Windows - delayed write failed
  Windows was unable to save all the data for the file G:\$Mft.
  The data has been lost. This error can be caused by a failure
  your network connection or computer hardware. Please try
  to save this file elsewhere.
   
  And when I click on a specific file I get another message
  The path for the file name G:\1Dons (2) \5Funstuff (2) \cmptrguy.ppt is not valid
  Please check that the path and the name are correct.
  "WHAT CAN I DO TO HAVE ACCESS TO THESE FILES - IT ' S ALL MY CURRENT WORK GIRLS ACTIVE
   

  Looks like you have a corruption of the data on your disk/file system.  Once you are able to mount as a drive letter, try to perform a check of the disk drive.  The procedure accelerated this:
  Double-click "My computer"-> right click on the drive-> properties-> tools (tab)-> click 'Check now'--> check that the two options-> start.

  or follow the procedure here:
  "How to perform disk error in Windows XP check"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265 >

  Please keep in mind that it can take more than two hours to perform according to the size of the disk and the amount of corruption and if they're using USB1, 2 or 3.  In cases where corruption is bad, sometimes this can make matters worse so if you can back up all the files in the first place, do.

  The one and only true definition of a 'Important file"is"a file has been saved.

• Make 'Open with' when you try to access the Western Digital My Book Essential

  I had this external hard drive for a few years, it has always worked well. I recently had to factory restore my computer and external has been working very well then, but now whenever I try to open the drive, a window saying 'Open with', and a list of the programs on my computer that I could use to try to open it with.

  None of them have worked. I can access the files on the disc if I search for them with the search command, or if I try to open one of them of any other application, IE: Word, but it opens normally.

  I called WD; they say it's a problem of microsoft. I've walked by here and google it as much as I the chance, but doesn't that seems to be a particular problem, and I don't know what to do.

  Thank you.

  ... I've recently had to factory restore my computer...

  Was it a reinstall of Windows on an installation disk or a restore recovery where you used an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) restore the function either BIOS or a menu option?

  If it were the first, you will need to install the drivers for all devices integrated on the motherboard systems you.  You get these or the web site of the manufacturer of the motherboard or, if a support system on the packaging manufacturer's support web site.

  If the latter, you may need to install updates for the software updates USB which were in Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 3 for Windows XP.

  It would be useful to learn more about your system.  that is, Windows version, edition and level of service pack, manufacturer and model of the motherboard, or, if a system, manufacturer and model of the system.

• Cannot access the data of a dvd burned using Windows Vista

  Mr President.

  We burned a dvd using the integrated software disc Vista burning... the procedure was as follows:

  After inserting the disc, we formatted the disk by checking the "Quick Format" option... the format once completed, we pulled the folders n files that are supposed to be stored on the dvd n that the process has begun... After the end of the burn, the dvd is ejected automatically... but the dvd is not readable on other laptops or desktops... well helping... data are very IMP... We have no other backup data... and we have formatted the old laptop and upgraded to Windows 7...

  Forward to your response

  Kind regards

  How does the combustion process end - did you finish it or simply eject a DVD?  If you have completed it, exactly, that you have to finish?  What type of backup has been made (or did you use just copy/paste instead of the grogram backup) and what version of Vista are you using?  Did you use the live file format or the image ISO format http://www.ehow.com/how_5013668_copy-cd-dvd-windows-vista.html?  What kind of CD or DVD (CD, CD - R, CD + r, CD - RW, DVD, DVD - R,...)?

  Insert the DVD into the drive and go into Windows Explorer and right-click on it and select explore.  Any files or folders appear?  Go to start / Control Panel / folder opt / view on the and make sure that the button to view the hidden files is checked.  Also check the box to show system files and uncheck to hide extensions of known file types (this can be useful later).  Nothing now watch or it always seems to be empty.

  Go to start / Control Panel / administrative tools / computer management / disk management and check on the DVD in the car and tell me what it says on the size and the amount of available space (in other words, think data on the DVD).  Closer to your mouse on the DVD player and a text box appears above it lists criteria to this stationary player down.  Please post what he says EXACTLY, in the same order, as it is presented.  Does show as active for example?

  Here are the instructions on how to copy data from a hard drive to a CD.  Read carefully.  You skip steps or fail to wait until the processes were completed before moving on to the next step?  If we know what hurts you, it may be possible to fix it - but I don't know (because I have no idea, but why it happened). http://www.ehow.com/how_5013668_copy-cd-dvd-windows-vista.html.  Also, check out the following article, especially the section about closing or to finalize the process and see if you have done this http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Disc-burning-frequently-asked-questions.

  Here is another article on how to burn a CD/DVD in Vista to test to see if you followed the procedures as indicated or anything left side: http://maximumpcguides.com/windows-vista/burn-a-cd-or-dvd-in-windows-vista/.

  I believe that you have finished the session before it was finalized and it's the cause of your problem (assuming that Disk manager shows ALL the data on the dik at all - in which case I am afraid that the information was not stored on the CD/DVD and are not recoveralble, because there is nothing there to recover).  If the development is the issue, there may still be a way to finalize the disc - although I'll have to research further on this subject because I don't know how to finalize a disc that has already been ejected before it was finalized (and depends on what probably treat you used).

  ===========================================================================================================================

  Even if you have your drive formatted and installed Windows7, it is still possible to recover some of the data that was stored there using special recovery software.  I don't know if these programs work with Windows7 (it is a forum for Vista) but you can check the details before you download them or go to the Windows7 Compatibility Center to see if they are listed http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx.

  The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).

  Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

  Here are some free recovery programs that might help:

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html (first try Recuva)

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/DiskDigger.html (try this second - if it does not also the chances of recovery are very slim, but we invite you to try other options if you want)

  I hope this helps and I look forward to your reply with the results of the options I suggested, the I asked you to perform checks and questions I asked (and I know there were many, but I'm not here in front of your computer with the disk to try things myself so the only way I'm collecting information that I need help (if possible) is to seek your help for) help me.  Thank you.

• I forgot my password to enter my computer, it says: you cannot access the data on this computer without the correct password

  who should I contact to get the password for my laptop

  who should I contact to get the password for my laptop

  Since you set the password, you'd be the only person to get the password. There are actually many options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:

  • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
  • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
  • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
  • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
  • Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
  • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

  Hi Robrw,

  1. when exactly you receive this error?

  2. don't you make changes to the computer before this problem?

  You can try to rename the catroot2 folder and check if it helps.

  Step 1:

  a. Click Start and in run type C:\windows\system32 and click ok

  b. find the Catroot2 folder. Right-click on Catroot2 and rename it to Catroot2.old

  If you are not able to do the normal mode, try to start in safe mode and rename

  Check out the link for more information on starting your computer in SafeMode below:

  Step 2:

  If you are unable to access the catroot2 folder, and then try to change the permissions on the files and check if it helps.

  See the following article:

  How to capture a file or a folder in Windows XP

  Step 3:

  You can also try to temporarily disable third-party security software and firewalls and check what is happening.
