Denied access to back up files to a second hard drive

• Windows Media Player won't find the files on the second hard drive

  Hi hope you can help with this.

  I have Windows 7 and Windows Media Player 12 on my PC.

  My office has two hard drives, one for the operating system and all programs and another larger (drive J:\) for all my files.

  All my audio files are stored in the J:\Audio folder, and this folder is also the default location for my music library (such as configured in Windows and WMP).

  When I load WMP files in J:\Audio are not displayed in the music library.

  If I right click on music > manage a music library and then manually delete the J:\ from the list of library locations, and then re-add it, WMP adds all the files to the library (a process that takes about 20 minutes).

  BUT if I close WMP and re - open again, these files are missing once again.

  It seems that WMP has a blind spot of my second hard drive.

  Any suggestions for what I can do to remedy this?

  Thank you very much!

  Neil.

  Well, I think I found a solution for me at least.

  There is an answer on this thread who has contributed to:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-pictures/songs-do-not-appear-in-the-Windows-Media-Player/a6e80b2e-7367-4529-9dab-5a38ba4167a5?page=5

  This is the fifth detention by djkel.

  This is a summary:

  To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
   
  1. exit Windows Media Player.
  2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
  3. Select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.
  Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  One of the files that I had to delete not able to be removed first because "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" was used. I was able to follow the steps on this page to temporarily stop the service and allow the file to be deleted:

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to-disable-Windows-7-Media-Player-network-sharing-service-wmpnetwk/

  Then when I have opened WMP 12 database has been repopulated with my files... and all files remain when the 12 WPM has been closed and then reopened. I hope it's a permanent fix.

  Not sure if this will help your problem, Jeff, but I hope that.

• The difficulty to access files on my second hard drive

  So my OS recently I messed up, and I decided to make a new hard drive to hold my OS and programs and use my old drive to store my files. Right now I'm trying to access my files in my user folder, but whenever I try, he says: I don't have permission and I hit "continue" to run as admin. However it is not always leaves me and I keep hitting "continue" whenever I try.

  You must take possession of the entire disc (all files and folders)...

• Access denied when you try to access the files on the second hard drive.

  I have a new desktop computer with Windows 8.1 pre-installed on it. I am trying to transfer files from the old disk (Win XP) via a drive Bay and I get an error saying "you not currently have permission to access this folder." I tried right click, go to security and changes in the ownership of the folder, but I can not yet move to the new drive. I have access to one of the folders, but it does not give me access to their subfolders. It also gives me an error when I try to "replace all entries authorization child object with entries permissions inheritable of this object.

  When I googled for a solution the only answer I found is to use the Security tab. If anyone has any ideas I could try, I would be very grateful.

  In fact, I solved it. I have rebuilt the old XP computer and transfer files with a USB key. It was not exactly the solution I was looking for, but it worked.

  as incredible as it may seem. MozBackup has nothing to do with Mozilla or Thunderbird. If you have any questions about mozbackup I don't really know where you're going.

• When you back up my files to a new hard drive, getting the error "destination path too long".

  Hello

  Today I was backing up my files on a new hard drive that I bought a week ago, and during the copy, I received the message following 'destination path too long ".
  And the file name is actually short "crouch" here is a snap of the image:

  http://imgkeep.com/0ij23kby74dn.html

  I don't know what to do!

  Original title: destination path too long?

  The key factor is not the name of the file itself, but the total length of the file name and the path of the folder.

  The help files for the application that you are using could tell you how long the total combination of the file-file may be [some more older can be limited to 255 characters, but I was not able to discover the current constraints].

• I can't find my external hard drive under 'Computer' but it appears in "Devices and printers" How can I access files on my external hard drive?

  I can't find my external hard drive in "computer".

  I just bougth a new HP computer running Windows 7.  I just copied a bunch of movie files, music and photo of my old Mac (OSX Leopard) on a Western Digital external hard drive.

  I plugged the external drive in my HP via USB 2.0 on the front of the computer.  Windows recognizes the drive.  She appears in the Panel of external control/hardware and Sound/devices and printers as "HARD disk".

  It does not appear in 'Computer' under 'devices with removable storage ".

  I just want to get to my files so I can copy them to my new computer.  How to access my files on the external hard drive?  Why isn't he appear in 'computer '?

  Hello ShamedMonkey,

  Thank you for your message.  The problem you are having is because of differences in formatting between PC and Mac.  You can, however, transfer your files between the two.  I will set out what must be done under and limitations of each.
  First, you will need to format the drive on your PC.  When you format the PC, you can format it in FAT32 or NTFS.
  (You mentioned that you do not see the drive in the computer) To format drive:
  Click 'Start' > right click on 'Computer' > select 'manage '.
  Click on "disk management".
  In the right pane, you should see your drive > you can then do a right click and 'format '.
  FAT32:
  This format will allow you to easily transfer files between the two.  This format becomes problematic when you transfer files more than 4 G.  There is a limit of 4 GB in FAT32, etc. of many movies are bigger than that and cannot be transferred using this format.
  NTFS
  This format has no size limitation, however, in its normal state it will be 'Read only' on Mac.  If you will not be able to transfer all the data itself.  While doing some research on the web, it seems that you can use a program called MacFuse on your Mac to change to NTFS files.  I have not confirmed this, but you can give it a try.  If this program works as planned, it would be the way to go.
  Please let us know if it did or did not solve your problem.
  See you soon

• I deleted a file from my portable hard drive, can I get it back?

  I deleted a file from my portable hard drive, I need help to get it back?

  First stop using your portable player as your deleted folder is now considered to be unallocated space and can be replaced by new data. This would then make your chances of recovering your file much less likely.

  First check your trash. If it is not there then...

  There are some free and paid for recovery software. Just Google.

  If there are companies that specialize in data recovery. This would be an expenditure of significabt, but would probably be to maximize your chances. It depends on your expertise & how data is important for to know you which way you want to choose.

  One last point if your data is important, be sure to have a backup plan in place. Having your important data in one place requires trouble.

• Cannot access the files from the internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead

  I can't access the files from an internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead. I think that my files are still there, as shown in the volume of the player volume ~ 500 gb which is almost completely full. But I can't access most files, including documents and settings. When I took 'ownership' of the folder, I could open the TI but then it showed everything that was in my documents and settings on the computer file I used to open it, not the documents of the car.

  Uhm... I think the issue here is a misunderstanding of what you watch.

  If you want to access your files from the old hard drive - you need to look in the right place.  If the old system was "Windows 7", "Documents and Settings" is the * wrong * place to look and "Users" would be the place to go.

  You * will * take ownership and change permissions on ALL (you want to propagate to all subfolders/files when do - to save time) in order to get them properly.

  New-->: Windows Vista/7 would have your files located in the directory 'Users' of the root of the drive - and then under your username.

  • \USERS\\Desktop\
  • \USERS\\Downloads\
  • \USERS\\Favorites\
  • \USERS\\Documents\
  • \USERS\\Music\
  • \USERS\\Pictures\
  • \USERS\\Videos\

  ... etc...

  Documents and settings to WIndows Vista/Windows 7 is a symbolic link and would lead to what you see if you tried to use it.

  Your post shows your PC than the execution of win10, but it comes preinstalled with Win8x.  This means that at some point, you've done setting at Win10 level, and unfortunately, that corrupts the information of HP recovery: HP Recovery Manager blocked after Windows 10 Upgrade - HP Support Forum's - 5170752

  Once you do this upgrade, the ONLY way to perform a recovery after that use HP recovery media.

  Ordinarily, I advise to use HP recovery media to restore your PC to its original state. That would erase the entire disk, format the drive and install the operating system, drivers and utilities HP.
  
  Unfortunately, there is no support of HP recovery related to HP for your PC Product Page. This could be an oversight by HP, or it could also mean that HP stock is no longer the recovery media for your PC.
  
  You can try to contact the HP customer directly, using the links below, to see if you can order them if:

  If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1
  
  If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html
  
  NOTE: once you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to someone ' one - it can take a while!

  ---------------------------------------
  However, HP customer care is generally not available on weekends, so you will have to wait until Monday to contact them.
  ---------------------------------------

  If HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you should check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

  Good luck
