Data encrypted on the drive from the PC 'death '.

My old PC is dead (suspect grilled motherboard) I removed the hard drive and bought a unit to connect external drive. It is recognized by my laptop and some files are recognized and can be opened but I have two files of documents that are protected by word (separate passwords that I have) and I can't access it. Have tried to configure mirror on laptop user accounts, but nothing helps.

If you mean by 'password protected' files have been encrypted by using EFS, Windows file system and that you have neglected to export your certificates and private keys or affect a recovery as suggested inarticle of best practices of Microsoft agent, you're probably the GROUND, but here are a few suggestions:

  • Transfer data to external hard drive from XP to Vista

    How would I be able to transfer data from a XP hard drive (which is in an external case) on my new laptop with Windows Vista? Please let me know. Thank you very much.

    original title: I have a XP hard drive in an external case, and I would like to transfer the data on Windows Vista.

    There are several options:

    External drive is already connected via USB?  Your new computer sees the old disk when you open Explorer?  Is the drive external HARD in the format identical to the new machine Vista (probably NtfS)?  If this isn't the case, you must first convert the external hard drive to NTFS.  http://technet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb456984.aspx (although written for XP, it works with Vista as well).

    If so, create a new folder on the new disc called 'From Old Computer'. Go to the old drive. Now * COPY * ("hold") the files to the new folder that you created. After getting everything copied on you can turn off the computer and unplugging the old drive to protect its content - where everything is not going according to plan.

    Now you can take your time by placing the files copied, where you want that they finally reside on your new computer.

    If you have problems with 'Access denied', follow these steps on the external drive of the new computer:

    In Explorer, right-click on the drive in question and select Properties

    On the Security tab, click Advanced
    On the owner tab
    Select you realize if it isn't already and
    Check "Replace owner of subcontainers and objects".
    Click OK twice (close all dialog boxes)

    Defines you as the owner of every folder and file on the disk

    In Explorer, right-click on the drive in question and select Properties

    On the Security tab, add your account if it is not already there and set full access
    Click on apply
    Click on advanced
    Check "Replace permission on the child all the objects with...» »
    Click on apply

    If you do not see a Security tab, then turn off Simple file sharing (you may need to do in reconnedcting the count to the old XP machine - I'm not sure that this can be done through the new computer).  To do this, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810881.  The same may be true if the nets and records are password protected (although using a different procedure to remove the password to protenctio similar to what lets you add it iin the first place.)

    If you have problems setting up the permissions or ownership on the disk external drive files and folders, some information here that might help:

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    If the external hard drive is not USB but IDE instead, here is an article on two methods that work for transfer: http://www.wikihow.com/Transfer-Data-Between-Two-Hard-Drives.

    ==================================================================================================================

    I realide what follows is not what you asked, but if it is still possible, it might be a better solution than moving the data to the external hard drive.

    If the external hard drive has only the data and you want to transfer settings and data (and perhaps even of programs if they are compatible with Vista) from the old XP machine (if it is always present and contains information on the new computer (which is better because it also transfers your program and other parameters (and maybe your programs) as well as the data (or you can ignore the data if it is the same which is))) already on the external drive))), then use the transfer tool.  Here's how: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Migrating-Vista-using-Windows-Easy-Transfer.html#.  This is how I do the trasfer if I had to do it because it makes the implementation of the new computer much easier and faster.

    Here is another article on how to transfer data and settings from an XP machine to a new Vista computer using an external hard drive (although it discusses other methods as well): http://www.digitaltrends.com/how-to/how-to-transfer-your-data-from-xp-to-vista/

    I hope this helps.  If you have questions or problems on the way, do not forget to post back and get help.  It is best to do things right the first time.  And even once, I highly recommend using Easy Transfer (although this is not how you setup at the moment) for the transfer to get the new computer up and running much faster and easier.  The decision is yours.

  • Unable to transfer data to external hard drive from El Capital upgrade

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has had the same issue as me or can help.  I have an external drive (Seagate 1 TB) that I use to transfer files to and from my Mac Air (2012 i5 4 GB).  Since the recent upgrade to El Capitan, I was able to see and access the files on the external hard drive, but not be able to transfer files from my Mac to the external drive.  I couldn't find any info on this so I was wondering if anyone can help.  Thank you!

    As a guess your Seagate is formatted in NTFS. You need to check the site of Seagate to a NTFS driver compatible to El Capitan.

  • Satellite Pro L450 - automatic change of data encryption

    Hello
    I wonder if anyone can help with a problem I have with a Satellite Pro L450.

    I work in a school and we have a WiFi network. In a particular area, we have 4 laptops that connect to the network wireless without any problem. The problem I have is that the L450 continues to lose its connection and when I look at the properties of the connection, WEP form (which we use) has changed data encryption to WPA - PSK alone. I remove then completely and add it again the network connection and set it to wep and enter my WEP and try to connect.

    In the wireless box, then pronounce the name of my network and not connected says, but at the bottom of the box, it says disconnect? If I then go back to the properties, once more data encryption has changed itself from WEP to WPA - PSK.

    I would be very grateful for any help.
    Thank you
    Paul

    Hey Buddy,

    Which is really strange, but I m wondering your school uses non-secure WEP encryption

    In any case, I recommend an update of page of Toshiba WLAN driver. This might solve your problem:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    But before you install the new driver I recommend to remove the old version first.

  • Transparent data encryption and Performance

    We started a project to encrypt our SAP database using the transparent data encryption.  The project is currently mandated by corporate policy, so there is not much choice involved.  The indications are:

    The server O/s: HP - UX 11.31

    CPU: HP Itanium

    Oracle Version: 11.2.0.3 (64-bit)

    DB Dimensions: Approx. 5 TB

    Core SAP: 7.x

    Our leadership is very concerned about the impact on performance.  If you have encrypted your database, SAP or not, I am very interested in hearing if you the performance of your server data after encryption.  Good news, bad news, either.

    TIA,

    Mike

    Dear Mike,

    I can give you a few comments based on direct experience, since we recently migrated from an unencrypted Oracle (11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0) server to a new server with encryption TDE (same version db).

    Our application is a warehouse of data with massive volumes of data (terabytes) and a few very large tables.

    After having migrated to the new server, which was much more powerful than the former, we were surprised to discover that the performance was much worse (about two times slower, on average, measured on our typical user queries).

    A study on the causes of degradation in performance shows that transparent data encryption are the source of the problem, causing a saturation of the individual CPU (do not look at the aggregate average load on the CPU, which is misleading).

    Basically, we have been deceived by the official Oracle documentation that estimates the impact on the performance of the transparent data encryption in the order of 5 to 8%. Further investigation showed that this low impact may be true of operations that involve a small amount of data. With the full picture of the analyses on large tables however, the truth is that the performance may be (5 - 10 times) slower order that without transparent encryption of data.

    If you want more information, take a look at this excellent article (in two parts):

    Where exactly in the database, I can get this info or how to prove to the client that the data is encrypted, because he sees data as it is in the database.

    http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/network.112/e10746/asotrans.htm#BABEBFBA

    Obviously not something you want to run on a production system, but something that you can easily run in a test/development to demonstrate to your customers environment.

    If they worry about someone in your database hacking and questioning, steal data in this way, then this isn't the solution that you want to implement (or he is not the only solution you would need to implement). As noted in the links I posted before, TDE is designed to protect you against someone steal your support (data files).

  • Oracle encryption vs servers - dba access to unencrypted data encryption

    Hi guys,.
    I have an application that consists of about 20 java servers and batch programs connect to an instance of oracle 11g. Some of the columns in the database are enrypted. This is achieved via PvE (keys stored in HSM, you can configure the columns of database specified etc.).
    I'd use the encryption of the Oracle instead, but I understand there was a requirement of the customer that DBA could not simply get access to unencrypted data.

    Is there a way to circumvent this requirement?

    Rgds
    Peter

    Hello

    ... There was a requirement of the customer that DBA could not simply get access to unencrypted data.

    Is there a way to circumvent this requirement?

    I'm not sure I understand, as far as I know, in 11g, you have the option to encrypt the data (Transparent data encryption) to the level of the Table or Tablespace level as well.

    For this, Oracle uses a master encryption key. It is true that the master key is stored outside the database (for example, by using an Oracle Wallet) so that the responsibility of the security administrator can be separated from the database one administrator.

    So, later, depends on who has the safety requirement. Access to the master key is a key issue:

    "+ Security is improved because the portfolio password may be unknown to the database administrator, security administrator provide the password. + »

    You will have much more information on the link below:

  • The data stored on the external hard drive recovery

    Hello

    Recently, my PC got corrupted and told me to save my data on an external hard drive before doing a reformat on my PC. In fact, all my data was saved when I update. A few months ago, in may 2014, I backed up my data in the drive C under the section 'My Document ' and also registered in my external hard drive as a backup. Thus, in June, July & the first 2 weeks of August 2014, I updated some data and stored in the 'My documents' file in the C drive. My PC got corrupted last week and told me to do a reformat as a last resort. Before that, I saved all my data (especially my Word & Excel) for my external hard drive to the file 'My Document '. After that the reformatting was made, I downloaded all required applications and try to remove my Excel file, which has the external hard drive, but the data were NOT the updated file, but the file that has been saved 3 months ago!

    So, how can I recover my file up to date which was recorded August 12, 2014, supposedly on my external hard drive, or could it be hidden somewhere in the "C drive"?

    Help, please!

    Thank you!

  • The migration of the VM from ESX 3.5 data center to data center inside the same building Vsphere

    Hi experts,

    Currently, we have 5 servers ESX 3.5 and a San in a shelter in the United Kingdom. This kit is now over 3 years old and the company replaces the complete kit with a new SAN, new servers and Vsphere 4.0.

    We have the opportunity to get new equipment to the top and running in the same shelter in Britain and are therefore able to run cable network between the two cabins if necessary.

    What is the best way to migrate existing virtual machines from the old environment running to the new environment running Vsphere ESX 3.5? As mentioned only the two cabins will run in the same shelter so nothing needs to go on a WAN link.

    IM keen to not load the machines on a USB key and move like that if I can help it. It appears from the research you cannot VMotion from one datacenter to another data center, however I can Storage VMotion between the two by using a method of migration cold?

    Any help will be appreciated, thanks

    Disconnect a host ESX to the old environment, connect it to the new environment. (this means now that the old host as part of the new vsphere cluster can still see the old SAN?)  Then use this host as the link between the two San as you can see both of them?)

    Yes, presentation of the old drive will still be available on the assumption that it was not presentation of your San.  You can use a transit Host, which means that all the LUNS of the old environment and the new are presented to this host, but there will be a migration in a timely.  You have to vMotion invited to this host, unplug off the old environment and then in the new sVMotion (move the host and data store) to the new.  When this is done, unplug this transit host environment and add in the old, vmotion... Rinse and repeat.   Ideally, a presentation of the new LUNS to the old ESX host would be much faster.  In this way, you can bring your old environment together in the new. Make sense?

    When I disconnect and reconnect the old host to the new environment, which also happens to the virtual machines on this host? I need to move temporarily turned off?

  • Transparent encryption of the application data in the CARS

    Hi gurus,

    AIX - 6.1
    Oracle 11 g RAC 2

    I created a portfolio on node 1 and copied (scp) on the other node cluster and closed the wallet and re-opened, but only one instance a portfolio opened not theother.

    When I try to open it on another instance, it closes on the first. How can I make the portfolio opened on the two instance.

    If I have to start over again what I have to do is to close out of the wallet the wallet file and create a new portfolio, correct? Its new database without data on it again.


    SQL > alter open to set system portfolio identified by 'pwd ';

    Modified system.

    SQL > select INST_ID select, status of gv$ encryption_wallet;

    INST_ID SELECT STATUS
    ---------- ------------------
    1 CLOSED
    2. OPEN

    But I am able to query that data from these two instances... even with the wallet close to a single node.

    Is this behavior?


    Please help me solve this problem...

    In GR 11, 2, it is recommended to put the Oracle Wallet in a file system shared at the top of the ASM, called ACFS. If this is not possible, just bounce node 2 and you are ready, your portfolios will be synchronized.

  • How can I prevent users from access to my hard drive from backup to the enclosed address?

    I have a HD attached used only for backup. When I change the guest user attached the HD content is accessible. I tried to change the permissions for the disk 'all', using the information, 'no access' window (without blocking) that seemed to make the case, but a quick search gave terrible warnings about changing permissions, so I came back to the unsatisfactory "read only". Change return 'each' to 'No access' would be a bad move.  If so what can restrict the guest access to the HD (besides of course the disconnection of the latter!) attached.

    You can encrypt the back upward, then it will be password protected.

    Hi, I downloaded the latest graphics driver from intel, but it won't install it? is there any solution for this?

    You must use the driver from Toshiba's European driver page.
    If you want to install the driver from the Intel page then you can do it at your own risk.
    This driver can be installed in Device Manager. There, you have to point to the files in the driver downloaded from Intel page by using the Advanced installation procedure and have to force the operating system select this driver.
