Cannot copy files from a corrupted on a new user acct

For some reason my user account was in sashes. I wasn't able to access the system restore. I did a restore and it allowed me to create new user accounts that my old files were still on the drive under the old user acct, I am not able to copy on. I tried to use the procedure described in article 811151 but the old user account folder is not accessible (access denied). I tried to change the permissions under safe mode, but that makes no difference. Any ideas?

Article Microsoft KB811151 will not work as described if you reinstall as you.  The problem you have now is one of the owner.  The following article should allow you to adapt your old files and a directory and to regain access:

  • The VM cannot copy files from a network share on the host

    I get the error "unable to copy xyz123: cannot read from the source file or disk.» When you try to copy a file to a shared folder.

    • The shared folder is located on the machine called VM-SERVER, which runs in Workstation 6.0.4. The folder is shared with everyone having full control. Security settings say that DOMAIN\Domain users also have complete control.

    • Any user who connects to any guest VM on VM-SERVER, which is the host of all the VMS in the Organization, can not access the file for copying, although registration to the directory is there (although slow to come). If the same user connects to any other computer on the network, any computer of VM-no-prompt, then he can access the files on the share on VM-SERVER with no problems.

    • VM' are the guest all configured with Bridged networking like they serve other users on the network. I disable the VMWare adapters. I insert the DisableDos key with a value of 1 as indicated by the FAQ, I restart the VM host operating system and the virtual computer guests.

    • VM-SERVER running Windows Server 2003 R2 x 64. It has 2 1 TB SATA drives, and the action in question is physically located on the D: drive.

    • The VM guest OS are XP Sp3, Vista Sp1, Windows Server 2003 R2 x 32 Business.

    • None of these comments VM are able to access the contents of the files on the share on VM-SERVER.

    • All computer virtual guests are able to access shares located on another server, the primary domain controller of the network that is running Windows Server 2003 R2 x 32.

    Accordingly, I'm worried because the concept of the virtual computer for critical business was my decision and up to the exception of this scenario (and a recently resolved USB printing problem) it went well. Unfortunately even a mess can stop production.

    Note that I have read the FAQ and tried the suggestions that seemed to apply.  I also looked in the forums and haven't seen a specific question/answer.  If there is an answer out there and you read this point please make me, orperhaps you have another suggestion?  I am open to all theories and possible solutions.

  • Cannot copy files from Windows XP during installation.

    While Windows reset through the repair track (not the console repair) using the original disk of XP, 44 files could not be copied. I turned off the antivirus Avast. Then again 29 files (including the migregdb.ex_) could not be copied. Once the process is completed the win XP works, I can connect to the internet and exploit all the programs, BUT research, help and Support, and then Windows Update stopped working. No idea how to overcome the problem of file copy will be appreciated.

    Hello

    Disconnect all external devices to your computer and see if it works.

    You can also use a different Windows XP installation disk and check if the problem exists.

  • Cannot copy files from a USB USB Kingston on WD external hard drive

    When I try to copy large groups of a Kingston DT101 (32 GB Tumbdrive) files on an external hard drive WD (WD3200MLSP: 32 GB) the computer does nothing and there is no "Copy" dialog box I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers but it does not work. However, when I copy only the sections of the USB hard disk, then copy works. I use the Ctrl + C to copy the files and the light on the USB flashes on then off. Then, when I navigate to the folder on the hard drive and I press Ctrl + V to paste the files, the light on the USB key turns on and remains lit. However, the lights on the hard drive WD do nothing.

    It depends on the size of the file.

    It files are 4GBs or more and the player is formatterd to FAT32, it will not transfer due to limitations of size of FAT32 file transfer...

    See you soon.

  • Cannot copy files from USB key!

    I have a picture of game size 4.17 GB. When I was trying to transfer it to my USB drive (16 GB), it displays message that the drive is full, so that only 8 KB was filled. I tried to copy another image of the game, but the same thing happened. Other files and songs, movies can be easily transferred but not game footage. Help, please!

    Pendrives are usually formatted in FAT32. FAT32 is limited to files under 4 GB. This is probably your problem.

    Thanks for the quick responses today from anyone in the community,

    Please provide details: you are not trying to change the file type by changing just the extension, are you?  That won't work of course,

    Either you try to run some type of script?

    To change a file type, you have TO open the file in Photoshop and do save as.  That can be automated.

  • Upgrade Vista to Windows 7 error: "Windows cannot copy files required for installation. The files may be damaged or missing. Error Code Ox80070017.

    I am upgrading of Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) for Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit) - but getting stopped everytime I try, I end up with a dialog box stating: "Windows cannot copy files required for installation.

    What should I do to resolve this problem and allow full of Windows 7 installation? (my computer is a Compaq Presario V6000).

    Hello

    What installation media you are using?

    Method 1:

    Error 0 x 80070017 translates "CRC error" which means that the files that are copied from the disc are not making it to the hard drive with the same structure, which means that the 'original' the disk files are modified/changed/corrupted while being copied to the location of the 'destination' on your disk during Setup.

    This usually means a bad DVD, or an error reading on the DVD player.

  • How can I copy files from project Waveburner to another internal drive?

    How can I copy files from project Waveburner to another internal drive without losing the connection to the files audio orig.?

    Thank you for your time,

    Since no one answered my call, I sat and researched and studied WaveBurner behavior and I can myself answer my question and solve. Since there were a lot of people asking similar questions on WaveBurner files I will post what I learned.

    Whenever you drop your audio files in the list window to make your WaveBurner CD copy not copy your audio files, but relies on the original audio file, where they are located. So whenever you move the files orig. and you open WaveBurner, it can't find those and displays an error window to suggest it will search for the missing file or if you know where he is now lets you find manually. WaveBurner usually place the .wb3 project file that contains everything including your home folder.

    For this reason, I reserve now an audio file WaveBurner also folder in my home folder. In order to save themselves from WaveBurner cannot find the audio file, all audio files that I do, I put in my folder of audio files WaveBurner first, then copy them in WaveBurner from there.

    When I need to use a bigger hard drive I copy .wb3-WaveBurner projects based, but also my

    Sound folder WaveBurner for the home folder on the new hard drive.

    WaveBurner is now all audio files without problem.

    I hope that this will be a unique problem to someone else. Happy WaveBurning.

  • Errro message "cannot copy file: path is too deep.

    Inequality on the what, why, how do to the error message "cannot copy file: path is too deep." I would like to know the causes and possible prevention and or all of the information available on this issue. The problem occurs when copying large files and sometimes small files on external hard drive to the top.

    Even though the file itself may become a 9-character file name extension, it could be buried inside several files.  Thus, when you step on your external USB drive and it appears as, say, M: drive, the number of characters in the complete path to the file starting with "M:\. "and including all of the directories in the path to the file as well as the number of characters in the name of the file itself must not exceed 255 or Windows refuses to handle.

    Robocopy is a command line program.  You must type in the command from a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd").  It works by accessing the file using a set of routines to copy the different library that does not have the limit of 255 characters.  A documentation file must accompany Robocopy explaining how to use it.

    Another method that might work for you is to take the folder that your .wmv file is in (or maybe both files above) and to temporarily move to the root directory of your external hard drive.  This shorten the path to the file and allow a normal copy of work.
