Directory of drive external hard has been changed

My drive hard external has been labeled the E: drive and now when I plug his label the F: drive. My library, internet browser, network, etc. are synchronized to the files in my external drive to which they cannot access more because it renamed Windows for some reason any code of practice. If I change things to be synchronized with the new drive F: then it causes other problems that he will not save the info synchronized as it requires me to enter new info. Is there a way to get windows to make my external backup as the E: drive (PS my Sandisk Cruiser USB drive to carry the F: drive is now listing himself as the G: drive, causing similar problems)

Info: Windows Version is Windows 7 premium
Laptop is a Dell
External hard drive is a Seagate FreeAgent Go

  • 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.

  • Problem with a VM server: "the virtual disk parent has been changed since the child was created.

    Hello!

    I have a problem with a server that does not start.

    We had a virtual machine running on VMWare Infrastructure 3 with two hard drives and an instant backup of them.

    This machine has been removed from the inventory, but when it has been recreated, the secondary hard drive is mentioned for the basic-disk vmdk
    instead of being referenced to the instant vmdk and used for a few days.

    All changes made after the snapshot, were kept in the delta snapshot file, which is not loaded.

    We are with difficult to reference the secondary disk for the snapshot file. We tried to edit the .vmx and hard disk files
    to correct the CID made reference, but when we try to start the virtual machine, we got this error:

    "The virtual disk parent has been changed since the child was created.

    I think it happens because we made a blow-up of a secondary drive a few weeks after the backup snapshot. We spent 30 GB to 50 GB.
    And because it has been referenced and used in another vm.

    *** Log is attached

    Thank you

    Bruno.

    It is a bad sign

    next step in the usual forest is to use "testdisk" since a LiveCD to set the tables MBR and partition - if possible

  • Your copy of disk image has been changed since the last opened or saved (Mac OS)

    I sometimes get a message that "image disk copy has been changed because the file has been modified, opened or saved. The OS 10.6.6 and I use CS5. It happens on any specific file. All my files are big enough. The current that what happens on is a body which is 3.26 G not flattened. I have the ignorance has always ignored the message and saved anyway. I never detected damage or noticeable changes in the files after ignoring the warning, but after looking for Adobe forum and read a thread on what is happening in CS4, I guess I should be more careful and do a save as and change the name of the file. I started this thread because no one reported the issue happening in CS5.

    The files have been all given to me by ftp as psd, tiff or raw camera files.  I work on the copies of the originals in no other program but photoshop and open and closed files several times before getting the message about disk being edited copy. All my files are saved on a hard drive internal and backed up to a time capsule device. I am on a network, but I'm the only user of the network. The files are worked and saved on an internal hard drive on the same computer. They are never open on another computer which is usually disabled. I don't use any antivirus software except what is native to the operating system. The only other applications that I am running when this message are safari, mail and sometimes fill.

    Why I get this message and what is causing changes (which I can't find) to disk copy?

    The message means what it says: something outside of Photoshop changed your file on disk since the time that Photoshop saved the file.

    We do not know what might change them - just the operating system returns a different modification to the file date that applied when Photoshop saved the file.

  • Drive external HARD encrypted in ExFat?

    Hello

    I have a new drive external HARD I need to use on a Mac and a PC. I need to access the same files (data analytics), so I don't want to make 2 partitions and have duplicate files. What I've read, it seems that ExFat is the best option for this (they are large files, so that the FAT will not work). My work, however, requires external hard drives to encrypt. When I tried to put it on my MacBook Pro (El Capitan), however, I received an error.

    My question is this: is there a way to meet all three of these criteria?

    (1) disk encrypted

    (2) read/write on a mac

    (3) read/write, the same files on a PC

    I have a separate HARD disk for Time Machine, I use an airport. This disc will have to travel with me.

    Thanks in advance!

    If you were able to encrypt it using the built-in OS x software, Windows would not be able to decipher. If you use a Windows build-in encryption software, OS X would not be able to decipher.

    You have to find a 3rd party package that works on BOTH OS X and Windows, which can encrypt and decrypt on both platforms.

    In the past, I would have done TruCrypt, however, he was abandoned by unknown original authors, but there have been a few replacements based on the original source of TruCrypt.  Try googling 'TruCrypt Alternatives' and you might find something where they support the OS X and Windows.

    Otherwise, you will need to find another cross platform encryption package.

  • Why to start Firefox message appears that "the color palette has been changed to Windows 7 Basic"?

    I am running Windows 7. When Firefox starts the message that arrives the color scheme has been changed to Windows 7 Basic. The message then continues to talk about the incompatible program. When I close Firefox to the colors return to normal. It has just begun to happen.

    Check that you are not running Firefox in compatibility, or with a reduced screen resolution mode.

    Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.

  • Someone stole my phone and when I came back, their iCloud account was on him and the password has been changed. What can I do?

    My phone was stolen recently while I was at Walmart. Sprint located the phone 4 hours later (after saying earlier that they could not do it at all) and sent a message to inform him that had the phone that he had been located. The phone was found at Walmart soon after. When I got the phone back, I noticed that the phone has been restored to the factory settings and the password has been changed. I restored the phone myself using iTunes, but now I'm stuck on the activation screen because they put their iCloud account in my phone (I never put one up myself, not knowing that this would cause this kind of problems) and I do not know the password. I've lost all the photos of my son (he was two weeks previously and I had not copied to my computer yet) and voice messages, I have saved my father who died last year. And now I have a rental phone that costs me $60 / month, that I can't use. Sprint said there is nothing they can do. I called Apple and received no help from their part is there something I can do?

    It requires the Apple ID and password of the thief. If you don't have it and can't get it, then the device is useless to you.

  • Satellite A200-1If - drive external HARD after a while is "unknown device".

    Hello!

    I have such a problem: I work with my external case alu Toshiba 3.5 HDD 500 GB and after awhile of copy of the files in the laptop it disappears and appears this luckily device recognized.
    Can it be caused by not enough power in the USB port?

    THX for any help or the workaround

    Hello

    Yes, this may be caused by the fact, there is not enough power provided by the USB port. first of all, note that external USB hard drives 3.5 inches are generally designed to be used with systems of office due to their higher power needs (this is also the reason that many need an external power supply of their own). my suggestion would be to buy a 2.5 inch drive external hard USB is designed to be used with laptops. Another reason that the hard drive may disappear when copying files, is that there may be a problem with the connection of the USB cable between the laptop and the external HARD drive. I suggest to check that both ends are connected properly and not put any pressure on the cables and keep them stable.

    I hope this helps you with your question
