• Cannot save files on an external drive because of "errors of window 82.

  Product name and number: HP Pavilion 6000 series BV601AA #ABA

  Operating system: Windows 7 Edition Home Premium 64-bit

  Error message: Unable to copy the file 'C:\Users\hp\Music\Master File\Johnny Hates Jazz - My Secret Garden.mp3' to "J:\Music\Music Backups\Johnny Hates Jazz - My Secret Garden.mp3.ffs_tmp".

  Windows 82 error code: the directory or file cannot be created.

  Changes before the problem has occurred: Some files may be damaged due to repeated power outages in which the system could not start correctly, or stop before losing power.

  Description: I'm trying to save a very large collection of music on an external hard drive so that if something happens to my computer, I have a back up from which to restore. I am using a free program called FreeFileSync, to start to do incremental backups of my music collection on the external drive as it grows. When I used it first, he copied about 15,000 of the 20 000 files without problem. However, for other files 5 000 or more, I was not able to due to "Windows Error 82. As by chance, I get an error from iTunes that tells me that the iTunes library file is not able to save, and I wonder if it can be related to the above problem.

  Other concerns: I tried browsing over the internet a response to this problem without much luck.  Some resources suggest using a registry cleaner, which I've tried without any effect. Other resources suggest using programs such as pc cleaner pro, and reimage.com, which I assume is intended to solve the problems of hard drive. However, almost all programs I've read on this subject might work, cost money which I'd rather not spend if there is a free solution. I am also afraid that if I paid for one of these types of programs they may not necessarily even solve my problem, and then I'm out of some species and still with my original problem. Someone at - it suggestions?

  No, in fact after looking around the answers in the other fourms, I found is that the external drive I was support until the problem in shape. I was doing backups on a disk that has been formatted in FAT32. My problem has been resolved on the reformat in NTFS.

• Cannot read files on an external drive autorun.inf

  I have an external drive that holds several sets of files that I use for software development. These packages contain files autorun.inf. Recently, I find that I can not read or rename these files autorun.inf. I suspect that a recent update of Windows security disabled the option to read or to rename the files autorun.inf on removable devices. Is there a setting that restores my ability to use my file? I tried enabling the group policy of the system "Turn off AutoPlay", as described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967715, but it did not help.

• NAS200 - cannot access personal folders of Windows

  Live chat with Linksys re: NAS200: my side of it.

  On a NAS200 I install a user called 'jon' with a personal file and a password. Problem is, I don't see how now to access folder Jon of Windows XP in the same way that I can access the public folder.

  I get "\\Nas200_9792de\public disk" Windows and files read/write without problem, including several subdirectories, I created it there.

  After you create a user, I guess I would then be able to access the file with something like \\Nas200_9792de\jon for example. I tried a drive letter of mapping, but get an error message

  on "network folder is mapped currently...... try a different username. But

  nothing alse is currently mapped.

  If I try"add a network place" I get "the folder you entered is not valid. Please choose another. "

  I've updated the firmware to V3.4R75, but this made no difference

  I searched throughout the "NAS200 User Guide.pdf" and he gives no explanation on how to access the personal folders of Windows.

  I searched also Linksys FAQ but could not find a help there.

  Sincerely, Shaun.

  Right-click on the icon in the system tray. Click shared folder mapping. The folder mapping split screen appears.

Keep the default drive letter or enter a different letter in the field of training. Then click on the map button. The shared folder opens automatically, and a new window will appear to inform you that the shared folder has been mapped. Click the OK button. On the mapping of shared folder screen, click on the close button. Double Clcick workstation. the shared folder will appear as a network drive.

  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.

• After the upgrade to El Capitan cannot insert CD/DVD in external drive

  Hello

  I have a Macbook Pro (mid-2014 retina) and I have this problem since I upgraded to OS El Capitan. Now I have the last 10.11.5.

  I can't insert a CD/DVD in the external DVD drive. It gets stuck at the end when it is like 80% already.

  I searched on the web before and there was a workaround solution that you put the CD in and reboot and it would work and it is indeed, but it's a pain that every time I work on the Macbook and in the middle of something and I want to insert a CD that I have to close everything and restart to get the disc inside!

  Once I do that, it works fine and I can eject and insert it again normally, but the first time I have to restart first, and since it's an external drive, I have connected it all the time, so whenever I connect it, I have to redo this same process.

  I was hoping with the last update that this problem could have been resolved for me obviously it's a software problem because it came with the upgrade to El Capitan, I've improved in later, but still problem is there. I hope that someone would have reached a permanent solution for this and I would be really grateful to know it.

  Thank you!

• Cannot rename the folders or files

  Hello

  I have an older Toshiba laptop that works under Windows XP. For some time, I can't rename my files or folders. I looked at the properties and noted that they are marked as "read only". I change it and apply it, but then he doesn't remember this setting and goes back to read-only.

  When I click on 'File' link 'Rename' is gray and I can't do a right-click on the name so that it can allow the amendment. I do not understand why this should suddenly happen, I've looked through the different menus and settings and you don't see nothing obviously wrong! Help, please!

  See you soon

  seems that something in your registry is not clear. In this case I reinstall the operating system and back up your files that cannot be renamed.

  Otherwise, if you want to keep the operating system, and then simply click on the following link and read this thread (check the last post...): http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp/t1131736977

  That should help you.

• Rename personal folders

  My personnel file has been accidentally renamed - how to fix?

  You should treat the account as a corrupted user account.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  To make the new account the old username (change current account to something different, if not yet the famous name).  Once this is done, your new need account have the correct name and all data and files and information.  You can delete the old renamed account and you're done.  Unfortunately, it is not really an easier way to do because of the links created between the username and the files.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Can I keep the CS6 programs on an external drive for future use?

  The hard drive of my MacBook Pro is almost full. I do not use most of the CS6 programs I have. I want to move them to an external drive. (I think they can be stored there already using Time Machine). Can I do this and uninstall them to free up space? I just want to later, in case I need it.

  Adobe Applications cannot be installed on an external drive.

  The left pane is a "choose one". "All photos" are just that. 'G' is a different option.

  Lightroom is not a file Explorer. He knows only the drives and files that you have imported the photos of. If LR shows not all of the photos that are on your hard drive, it is because you did not import all photos.

  If LR shows you a photo in "all photos" but do not show it in the folder you think he is in, go to "all photos", select the image, right click "view in the library folder. This will show you where LR think the picture is.
