CHKDSK changed on my external hard drive security descriptors, now I am unable to access

My external hard drive is connected to my computer at startup and it began to run Chkdsk while I was away. I came back to find the security being replaced descriptors. Once this has been done and I logged in, I was unable to access the drive. "G: / is not accessible." Access is denied. "

The disk appears in workstation but with no information of storage space. I changed permissions, sharing, and ownership as suggested elsewhere, but that didn't do anything either.

Help, please!

    @stu

    Not because of the number of pixels, in this photo and the chosen level of quality there is no possible way to create a JPG file to the size of file you requested. You must change your export settings.

    Show us a copy of the export dialog box, so we can see clearly the part file setting and the size of the Image.

    Also indicate the number of this image (width and height) pixels after cropping (as appropriate) and prior to export.

  • Unable to create/delete/change on all external hard drives only shortcuts

    My problem is one I haven't seen and can't find an answer through research.

    Observations of the problem:

    • I tried to copy files to my external hard drive for backup.  All files copy very well, with the exception of shortcuts (.lnk) files.  They give the error "Destination folder access denied" that says: "You must be authorized to perform this action."
    • The error above then we observe when I tried to create a shortcut on the external hard drive.
    • When I tried to delete a shortcut I get the error "File Access Denied", "you must be authorized to perform this action. You need permission from the administrator of the computer to make changes to this file. »
    • When I found the Security tab, under properties of a shortcut, I get the message "You are not allowed to view or change the permissions of the object settings."
    • When I click on the button Advanced on this window, the owner tab says "Unable to display current owner." When I try to take ownership, it tells me to close and reopen the properties of the object until I can view or change permissions.  When I do this, it always says "Unable to display the owner current." and nothing has materially changed since before my attempt to take ownership of.
    • I tried several other external hard drives, and all of the above problems are the same.
    • All other files besides the .lnk file are perfectly accessible, modifiable and suppressible.  All .lnk files are the only files that have this problem.

    I already tried without success the following:

    • Appropriate shortcuts.
    • Taking possession of the entire hard drive.
    • Ensure that I am a member of the Administrators group and connected as well.
    • Reset .lnk files default file associations.
    • Affecting the control settings to "Always notify me" "never notify" user account and vice versa.
    • To ensure that my connection is defined as administrator.

    All solutions?

    The problem persists there then in Safe Mode? If it works then please this simple test. He starts from the principle that your external drive uses the E: drive letter.

    1. Open a command prompt (cmd.exe).
    2. Type these commands exactly and press ENTER after each:
      dir > E:\Test.txt
      dir > E:\Test.lnk
      copy '% UserProfile%\Desktop\*.lnk' E:\
    3. Make a report.

  • Change disk to external hard drive

    I have an external hard drive, which always used TSE will automatically connect to drive F:.  He started to connect to G: or H: and I cannot impose it connects to F:.  Even if I use USB keys for use of G:, H:, etc., the hard drive will not always connect to F:, it selects a letter later in the alphabet.  Readers of the pen will automatically connect to F: if it's free.  I have control of subversion as a back up so I can use the same files on different computers and external hard disk contains the repositories.  The path to the repository is on F:, so unless I can connect to the hard drive on f: I can't commit the any changes and I have actually no control of subversion.

    How can I gat the drive external hard for you connect to the computer on the way F:?

    Try to set the drive letter on that drive to F: 'disk management '.
    First mount your external drive, then make a right click on 'My Computer' then
    Manage-> Storage-> disk management
    Then right-click on your external hard drive and select 'Letter of change of road and railways...'

    By clicking on security of advances and then permissions then continue and then change my name owner or administrator... both methods result in the same access denied result once again.

    I came across this http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/00d04415-2b2f-422c-b70e-b18ff918c281 is this something I need to study and learn before I am able to connect and use an external drive or flash?  Or is there another problem?  If the answer is in this link, do I have to put emphasis on and why wasn't windows 7 configured so that it is easy to use external drives as in win xp and win 8?  Are all usb ports do not or all drivers of failing or is it a software problem all?

    I was not able by trial and error to display all files on any hard drive or external flash on the two books of z of mobile workstation.

    Then I went to the flash drive.

    Left click on the flash drive produces a pop-up with title bar G:\

    You don't have permission to access this folder.

    Click on continue to get permanent access to this folder.

    After clicking on continue it opens another pop-up with title bar G:\

    You have been denied permission to access this folder.

    To access this folder, you will need to use the Security tab.

    When clicking on the Security tab he opens a new pop with the title bar: removable disk (g) properties

    The tabs are general, tools, hardware, sharing, ReadyBoost, customize

    He did not indicate what to do next.

    (3) contacted HP support

    (4) checked for malware using microsoft security essentials, malwarebytes and spybot on each mobile workstation

    (5) updated drivers using HP support assistant on each computer

    (6) windows update the device HP support assistant on each computer

    How do two new computers with win 7 pro can be connected to external drives that allow to view the files as they do with win xp and win 8 automatically?

    How can I access my files on the external hard disk and flash the mobile workstation book z?

    The specifications for the mobile workstation of zbook are:

    Operating system: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Service Pack 1

    Microprocessor: Intel core i7-4800MQ CPU @ 2.7 GHz

    Moemory system: 16 GB of memory on 2 1600 MHz dimm

    Graphics device 1: Nvidia Quadro K3100M

    Hard drive 1: SCSI Disk Device

    C: 683.42 (613,62 free go-go)

    D: 12.21 GB (1,3 GB free)

    E: 1.99 GB (1.97 GB free)

    The hard drive is a seagate 1 TB drive that works very well

    The flash drive is a 1 GB drive which works very well

    This problem has been resolved.

    Right-click all methods have not access external external hard drives and flash drives.

    Sharing, permissions, ownership, administrative changes, all method all failed.

    This problem has been resolved by higher HP product support.  Other levels of support were not able to diagnose the problem or fix.

    The problem has been resolved by:

    (1) determine that he was not a NTFS problem

    (2) using the msconfig to isolate a single service

    When the unique service has been disabled the files on any external drives have been available.

    The service of the problem was the HP Client Security.

    This HP Client Security in its default value is set to deny access.

    Then right-click on the drive and change the permissions, ownership, to administrators, using everyone etc. will fail because they are all trumped by the HP Client Security that is set by default to deny access.

    When that client security is changed the drives become available.  It is not information about this when using the computer and this can be learned by trial and error.

    I hope this helps all those who have z book 17 mobile workstations or HP computers that are equipped with client security.

  • Trying to access the files on an external hard drive in XP with Vista... Access denied.

    My old laptop with XP died, so I purchased an external drive and installed my old hard drive in it. I now use Vista, but whenever I try to access the files I get a message saying that I don't have permission to access the files. I spent in and changed the settings in files to reflect property, yet I always refused. I have read the discussions and met some people with the same questions, but proposed solutions seem to be more confusing than the problem itself.

    These files have been encrypted? If Yes and you did not save your encryption certificate/key, the files are lost forever. If the files are not encrypted (and you can do this natively in XP Home), then appropriate should do the trick. Again, here are the instructions:

    1. right click on the file or folder and then click Properties.
    2. click on the Security tab.
    3. under group or user names, click your name to see the permissions you have.

    To open a file, you must have the read permission. For more information about permissions, see what are permissions?

    http://tinyurl.com/2j9vgr

    To take ownership of a folder:

    1 right click on the folder you want to take control and then click Properties.
    2. click on the Security tab, click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.
    3. click on modify. Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    4. click on the name of the person you want to give to the property.
    5. If you want this person to be the owner of the files and subfolders in this folder, select the Replace owner of subcontainers and objects to check.
    6. click on OK

    If after all this you may not always get the files, I just boot the system with a Linux Live CD or Live USB key and copy in Windows there because Linux does not respect ownership/permissions of Windows.

    You can create a USB bootable Linux instead of a bootable CD. This site will show you how, and it's very easy -http://www.pendrivelinux.com

  • If I saved photo on an external hard drive, now remove the laptop backup files to free up space?

    If I saved photo on an external hard drive, I can now delete backup files from the laptop for free space - my 'E' drive is full and cannot run backups more.  Also other documents that have now been removed still have backups that I need?  How will I know what backup should I keep not individually through hundreds of files?  Thank you in advance.

    Original title: can anyone help please?

    Hello

    You can take a safe backup.

    After you create your first backup, Windows backup will add new information or changed to your subsequent backups. If you save your backups on a hard drive or network, Windows backup will create a new backup, full for you automatically if necessary. If you save your backups on CDs or DVDs and could not find an existing backup disk, or if you want to create a new backup of all the files on your computer, you can create a full backup. Here's how to create a full backup:

    1. Open backup and restore by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking the backup and restore.

    2. In the left pane, click on create new, full backup.

  • How can I disable 'write protect' on an external hard drive?

    My external hard drive is suddenly now "write-protected", I don't, how do to UN - do, without reformatting everything, Ive looked at properties, etc.; It won't let me save it now.

    Jack

    I've seen it before, here's a few things that can help:

    1. This can be caused by malware, are you sure that your machine is clean?

    2. connect your device, right click computer, click Manage > storage > disk management, then right click on the chart in drive to the device and select change drive letter, then change for a more near the end of the alphabet.

    3. change these registry keys, but create a system first, restore point just in case you have problems. Note that the keys do not necessarily exist, so do not create them as it is probably a different issue.

    3.1

    Open a run window (Windows Logo key + R), type regedit, hit enter and in the left pane, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies, double click on WriteProtect and change the value to 0 (zero) data.

    3.2

    Now, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\StorageDevicePolicies, double click on WriteProtect and change the value to 0 (zero) data.

    3.3

    Finally, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\StorageDevicePolicies, double click on WriteProtect and change the value to 0 (zero) data.

  • To access the other account via external hard drive

    MacBook Pro (13 inch, early 2011)

    V.10.11.6 El Capitan (15G 31)

    To summarize what I've lived, I got a kernel panic, by connecting to any account. So I tried to fix it by zapping the PRAM and NVRAM, tried the reset SMC, and both did not work. So I installed El Capitan on my external hard drive and it works, I just need to access the other account on the Mac to recover photos and then do a clean set install.

    The problem is that I do not know how to access the other account on the mac like I did not move any info from another acc to my external hard drive. Is it possible to do more than to reconfigure my HD post and return to the new installation procedure? Or I'm able to get pictures on the other account with the photo software?

    Open the drive containing, then the folder users, your record of departure, and photos. If you encounter a file that you don't have access permission, either drag it to the office supply your administrator password, or select the entire disk, choose get the information in the file menu and set to ignore permissions or ownership.
