• Cannot delete files from the external hard drive after copying using Robocopy

  Original title:! VERY DIFFICULT QUESTION! Files that cannot be deleted!

  I did a robocopy and he left during the night and when I came back it was in some kind of loop and my external hard drive was full. The files are not visible in Explorer and if I try to delete them in the command line that fails because some are too long. Urgent I need to redo the space on this external and copy the files to my parents and charity before fly me soon. Please can someone help me.

  * Looks like that I have multiple instances of the same files

  I don't know if you will be able to do this before your flight, but the drive must be partitioned and formatted, reformatted, or scanned for errors of NTFS file allocation table with repairs enabled. Depending on the size of the disk, this could take some time. You can also check statistics of SMARTDRIVE with a utility like Crystal Info disc to see if it is a failure.

  If you do not drive Professional recovery tools available, the native CHKDSK will do in a pinch.

  C:\Windows\System32>chkdsk /?
  Checks a disk and displays a status report.

  [CHKDSK [volume [[path] filename]]] [/ f] [/ v] [/ r] [/ x] [/ I] [/ c] [/ l [: size]] [/ b]

  volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),
  mount point or volume name.
  filename FAT/FAT32 only: Specifies the files to check for fragmentation.
  /F fixes errors on the disk.
  /V FAT/FAT32: displays the full path and the name of each file
  on the disk.
  On NTFS: Displays the eventual cleanup messages.
  /R Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information
  (implies / f).
  L:size NTFS only: changes the size of the logfile to the specified number
  of kilobytes.  If the size is not specified, displays currently
  size.
  /X force the volume to unmount it first if necessary.
  All open handles to the volume would then be invalid
  (implies / f).
  /I NTFS only: performs a less vigorous check of index entries.
  /C NTFS only: skips, checking of cycles within the folder
  structure.
  /B NTFS only: Re-evaluates bad clusters on the volume
  (implies / r)

  The /I or /C switch reduces the amount of time required to run Chkdsk by
  skip certain checks of the volume.

  Any routine review and car repair will take time. CHKDSK is no exception.

• Cannot transfer pictures to the external hard drive (refused)

  Hey!

  I can't transfer jpg on my computer to my external hard drive all of a sudden. He's worked a lot of years and now when I try to drag the photos on it gives me a stop sign, that white circle with the diagonal line through it. What gives? Any help would be great appreciated! I have a lot of work there.

  Additional information:

  -J' have permission to read and write on the jpg photos, but the disk that he said that I can read only, and there is no way to change this, when I click on the little triangle down.

  -I can drag photos that already exist ON the disk hard ON my desk, but not vice versa

  -All files are jpg files, and they are in a separate folder on my desktop, not from my iphoto library or whatever it is

  -J' also tried to delete the "com.apple.recentitems.plist" of the finder, and nothing has changed

  -The disc model is a "Slim Seagate laptop drive"

  -Here is a photo of the hardrive info:

  

  Thank you

  The external HARD drive is formatted NTFS, which allows you to write on it unless you have a third party app like Paragon or Tuxera.

  You had these software installed by Seafgate in the drive, but it is now obsolete and should be updated.

• reloading the files of the external hard drive to the new computer laptop

  I'm trying to reloaded files etc. from an external hard drive to my laptop. I took the files of my old office that was on is way out, so just in case I lost them all I copied them. I tried setting up my external hard drive and transfer just a couple of files just to see if it would work. I sent them to my desktop from my laptop and they also went to my documents, but once the hard drive is disconnected files will not open. I do not know what I'm dong wrong as I am not very computor spirit, so that the answers would be useful in silly English thank you. Sorry to be so long-winded.

  Sheila

  Hello @shedeval

  I understand that you have copied your files on an external drive from your old computer.

  You tried to copy the files to the new computer, but when you disconnect the external hard drive the files are no longer accessible.

  I think that you have created or copied a shortcut to the new computer and not the actual files.  When you're logged out outside the new computer had more disk access to open files.

  I would like to redo the copy and when you finished externally, log out and then try again.

  Good luck!

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.

• If Adobe has disabled the ability to use Lightroom 5.7 to see the images in the external hard drive, how one judge the images in the file on the external hard drive without bringing back them to the Lightroom library?

  JPEG images being dragged over to Photoshop are veiwable as thumbnails on the external hard drive.  However back to the DNG RAW images are not visible.  Anyway is to visualize images of type external hard disk?  It would be nice to get a glimpse of what you make in Lightroom simply looking on the external hard drive you can with JPEG files.

  The library, just click on the import button and navigate to your folder on the EHD. Choose the folder and click Add at the top of the dialog box. You should see thumbnail previews in the import dialog box where you can select what to import.

• Moving files to PC files to the files of the external hard drive from Lightroom.

  I have files duplicated in my external hard drive and my computer.  My computer becomes too full, so I want to delete the duplicates it.  The problem is that I have more pictures in the folder of the computer in the backup folder.  Is there a way for Lightroom copy or move simply no redundant pictures from my computer to my backup hard drive?  I tried select all and moving them, but got an error that they already exist in the backup folder.  I don't want to have to try and look at all the photos in both files to understand those who are redundant.  Help!

  The photo to another drive backup can be done via your operating system (copy and paste), but this is a unique single backup; or better still by some third-party utilities that perform automatic and regular backups.

  You must also make backups of your catalog file that can be done in Lightroom by activating the backup option in the catalog settings. This will cause Lightroom to make backups of your catalog file at regular intervals that you specify (daily, weekly, etc.) When you exit Lightroom, a catalog backup dialog box will appear and give you the option of where to put the backup catalog file, you must specify that this backcup goes on a different drive than the original catalog file.

• 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.

• Cannot copy files from the old hard drive to new

  Original title: crash and recovery of hard drive problem

  My hard drive crashed it wouldn't boot saying config.sys is damaged or corrupted, I tried to fix it but the sector is damaged. I was using XP, I had a password on my settings. I installed a new hard drive and reinstalled windows XP, but even if I can 'see' the old hard drive (always installed) I can't access my documents, how can I get to them? I know the password but since its an account on another drive it won't give me the chance to log on to the account.

  Assuming that you use the Encrypting File System (EFS) then this article should solve your problem:
