Denied access in writing to a disk external hard drive for Windows XP laptop.

I have my laptop running on Windows XP. Recently I am facing difficulties to copy the files to my portable hard drive to an external hard drive (Intenso) - the error message "Unable to create the new folder - access denied".

Surprisingly, the last time that I triedto copy some files was in December 2010 and everything worked fine. Even more surprising is that when I'm trying to copy files from my laptop to desktop hard disk Intenso I barely have problems at all! It works very well. Also, the operating system of my portable desktop is also WindowsXP.

It seems that the hard drive is formatted with NTFS, and you must add the "everyone" to the root of the drive with ALL the account permissions and leaves all of the subfolders will inherit this setting.

  • Unable to access the data stored on an external hard drive

    Just a checkup was done on my computer that required all my data to be deleted and the original settings restored. My backup files are on an external hard drive Western Digital Elements. Since the health check, my computer recognized the hardware connection when I connect the external hard drive, but the drive does not appear in 'my computer '. I cannot access my saved files.

    Hi Fairhurd,

    It is without doubt the antivirus software or security that comes pre-installed on the computers factory image.

    I suggest you uninstall all the trial security software (McAfee, Zone Alarm, etc) that your not use to see if it helps.

  • Cannot install the STOR. E ALU 2 external hard drive on Windows 8

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba STOR. E ALU2 external hard drive for my laptop for girls that takes place in Windows 8.
    Device is recognized, can find manual, can see autorun and start icons, but opens in Notepad only and does not install everything again.

    Just seen it says windows 7 on the side of box - does this mean the product is unusable? (In which case it's a gift in the sewers of Christmas!)

    Anyone can help with this problem?
    Thank you very much

  • External hard drive for source files

    What is the best solution?

    * USB 3 SSD

    * USB 3 at 7200 RPM hard drive

    Can I use two external USB 3 drives?

    Can I quote the external drive so that I have no file linking issues?  IE the volume name remains the same whenever I have to reconnect to it?

    * I ask here first of all because I have to buy the appropriate disks until I can test anything.

    Thanx.

    USB3 for SSD is the fastest solution. Set both computers to use the same drive letter of the volume on the port USB3, for example of letter P for portable in disk management. For a second port USB3, you can use a different volume drive letter.

    Simple steps:

    1. Format the drive and give a volume name.
    2. In disk management, assign a drive letter, for example P.
    3. Connect the drive to another computer and repeat step 2 here.

    The volume name remains unchanged and the drive letter remains the same on both computers.

  • FAT32 formatting for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista

    How to format FAT32 file system for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista?

    Hi MVRMVR,

    Windows will work generally only format a drive in FAT 32 if it has a capacity of 32GB, no more. To format in FAT32, Yes, would need to create multiple partitions. This, of course, you don't want to do.

    I have not tried to format a large drive in FAT 32 but I guess that any third-party partitioning software (Acronis, Paragon etc.) would be able to do it without any problem. Alternatively you can do it from the Windows command prompt. For more details, see the link below:
