• Cannot delete files on the external hard drive USB

  There are records that I can not delete on my external USB hard drive that I'm starting to suspect are connected to Windows updates related to Visual Studio who fail everytime I try to apply (this is another question I've waited in vain an answer for on Microsoft Connect).  These files have names like f95b13d78bd4c3a41d86.

  Here is an example of the message that I get trying to delete these folders:
  You need permission to perform this action.
  You need permission SYSTEM to make changes to this file.
  EULA.rtf
  etc, etc.

  Original title: music is dead

  Windows media player does not recognize my external hard drive on all my computers windows 7, but works fine on my xp. has taken the laptop shop they led produced songs media player then reinstalled them, and it worked. but when I added more songs on the ext. harddrive and tried to play on windows media player 7 it does not find new! can't afford to take to the store whenever I have download music and want to play on my Media Player 7. is it auto recognition? When I plug the ext. harddrive inside automatically so reads the news on it?

  I had posted a question on my Ext. harddrive, my windows xp Media Player recognizes new music I have add out of it, but all my computers which are used to windows 7. then I myself especially when I add the new music on the hard drive for media playyer on xp I have spend the toolbar and click on file, then click Add to library computer search and it adds to the media player library. but windows 7 does not have this option. I noticed if you click file, and then manage libraries, and then the music lets me add my Ext. harddrive (e drive) to the library list. on a computer it support of new music and videos found on the hard drive, on two computers it just music, so I downloaded a song and a video on the hard drive, plugged into the computer and media player says that it has been updated of library, and yet there they never found the new files. Why have they changed? XP was so easy. new is not always better!

• How to move files from the external hard drive to the keywords WITH main drive?

  On a recent trip, I have uploaded thousands of images on an external hard drive that I used with my laptop. I keyworded and edited these files on the road.

  Back home, I want to move the files (keywords and all) to my permanent LR library that resides on a different hard drive. How can I do this transfer without losing the keywords?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hi Jessica,.

  There seems to be a confusion of terms here: the catalog is where LR stores all of its information (that your designated as LR library in your original post).

  While you were on the road, did you use LR to add keywords to photos, or have you used another tool? If you have used LR, you already have a catalog on the laptop, which you can then import into your main LR catalog (using import to catalogue option in the file menu). Let us know if you get stuck anywhere.

• I can't delete files from my external hard drive

• Cannot access the files from the internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead

  I can't access the files from an internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead. I think that my files are still there, as shown in the volume of the player volume ~ 500 gb which is almost completely full. But I can't access most files, including documents and settings. When I took 'ownership' of the folder, I could open the TI but then it showed everything that was in my documents and settings on the computer file I used to open it, not the documents of the car.

  Uhm... I think the issue here is a misunderstanding of what you watch.

  If you want to access your files from the old hard drive - you need to look in the right place.  If the old system was "Windows 7", "Documents and Settings" is the * wrong * place to look and "Users" would be the place to go.

  You * will * take ownership and change permissions on ALL (you want to propagate to all subfolders/files when do - to save time) in order to get them properly.

  New-->: Windows Vista/7 would have your files located in the directory 'Users' of the root of the drive - and then under your username.

  • \USERS\\Desktop\
  • \USERS\\Downloads\
  • \USERS\\Favorites\
  • \USERS\\Documents\
  • \USERS\\Music\
  • \USERS\\Pictures\
  • \USERS\\Videos\

  ... etc...

  Documents and settings to WIndows Vista/Windows 7 is a symbolic link and would lead to what you see if you tried to use it.

• How to transfer files from the old hard drive to a disc new hard, old hard disk has been removed?

  I had a hard disk going bad. Installed a new hard drive and the need to transfer files from the old hard drive. I have an external enclosure for the old hard drive and can connect by usb port.

  The process is fairly simple once you put the old drive in the external box. You can use the usual methods of copy and paste in Windows Explorer. If you copy files, complete folders, you can take a look at RichCopy.

• Photos of deleted the external hard drive after updating Lightroom

  I just installed the new update.  Wish I had read some of the forums before hand.     Of the photos on external hard drive and I wanted to add them to the catalog.  After that I added to an existing catalog, I don't see pictures on the external hard drive.     If I click on the folder on the external drive, there is nothing in the folder.     If I unplug the external drive, I see the question mark by the photos.

  In addition, if I take the external hard drive and plug it into my laptop (Macbook Pro), Lightroom detects photos and does not watch the point mark.  However, I can not see the pictures on the external hard drive.

  Where can I watch, or how to find them.   This seems very odd.

  Thanks for any help.

  Thanks for the reply Akash.

  I did as you asked.

  When to disconnect the drive and click on ""?, "it shows the external drive as the previous location."

  Where to plug the hard drive and search using the finder, that nothing is found.

  When I connect the drive, Lightroom see files and works normally.

  Lightroom sees the files if the external hard drive is connected which leads me to believe that they are still on the drive.    However, they are able to access by Lightroom.  I see nothing in the files on the external hard drive.

  This really baffled me.

  Kind regards
