disk is protected from writing

I'm trying to back up my files on a dvd - rw nine using the automatic backup of windows. When it promts me to format the disk for the file system direct it says 'is write protected disk '. He does not seem ready to let format me it with "mastering" but it's not good for the task.

If possible, I would use windows own program, or I'd be grateful for suggestions for all free programs.

I'm using Vista Home Premium 64-bit.

Thank you

David

  • Why Firefox from writing so given all the time?

    I'm running Windows 7 x 64 and Firefox 8. In my task manager, I display the bytes of i/o to write to all processes. I found that Firefox is ALWAYS the process with the largest amount of bytes in writing, after that it worked an hour or two even though there are dozens of other processes. The only Web page is Google and all my plugins are disabled.

    Why Firefox from writing so given all the time?

    Firefox can be updated from the database of phishing protection or maintenance with other files as places.sqlite. It should be limited to a point if this was done.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions of the origin of the problem.

  • Remove my external backup disk write protection.

    I can't save anything on my backup drive due to an error saying impossible because the disk is write protected. It happened when I updated to windows 7 November last month. Now I can't transfer all files on the disc. Help.
    I read an answer to my problem re regedit's local computer and system control etc. The problem is that I have storage in the registry but not in default extension just to hand right panel and without value. How do I manually write the correct version so I can remove my storage drive write protection.

    I did as you said in regedit as there was no policy of storage device, but it does not remove the write protection. My backup disk is a connected via external usb port. If I turn off the external hard drive and turn it on then I can move or copy folders on disk for a few minutes the write protection turns. It started only with windows 7. In vista, alol was ok re backups. I read on the manual for this player and they don't even mention protection against Scripture. How do I know which drive to remove the register write-protection? I think I solved my problem. I had my backup disk connected to the computer via a usb hub. I changed it to connect directly to the back of the computer and now the backup drive is not protected in writing and I can copy and send the disk to backup with no problems. Thanks for your quick reply

  • How are GWX.exe successful removal, but still a few occurrences of the file on the disk - they protected?

    Being anoyed by the GWX-icon - and related unacceptable usage of my disk space and bandwidth (it has already reached 5GB of Win10 - junk and my SSD was almost full) - I tried to remove my system Win7 GWX. First I found 5 occurrences of the GWX.exe file (and some other files on) on my drive, after application of the GWX Panel I had up to 2 and the app is no longer active (and 5 GB of space free!). The use of some doesn´t of Mo wrong, but it looks a lot like a security breach - I m unable to delete these files & folders from the disk, even I m not able to change the security settings for these files.

    Someone at - it an idea how this weird State (super protected folders) can be removed or has been reached?

    Thanks in advance!

    You must take possession of these files or folders, then you give a full read/write access. It may be necessary to do with the commands in the console (takeown.exe and icacls.exe) while Windows Repair Mode.

  • How to access the disk HARD recovery from command line?

    Hello.

    I have a little trouble with my toshiba Satellite. My system crashed and I forgot to create the system recovery dvd.
    I can't access the "Toshiba HDD Recovery" when I start from another DVD Windows-7, but io accesses the recovery of HARD drive on drive D: with the command line. Is it possible to start the drive HARD recovery manually?

    Kind regards

    I know something like this isn't possible.
    If you did not create a recovery disk and you cannot start the HDD recovery procedure, you can order the new Arvato recovery disk

  • Cannot play music files because they are protected from the DMA

    Several years ago, I decided to save space at home by extraction of CD music on a hard drive external loads and binning then the CD I imported the files into iTunes, but the rest I left intact hard disk.

    Now, I find that I can't play all the music files because they have the DMA protection on them. Actually, it means that the music files that I had collected during his life and entrusted to storage of Microsoft (if only I had not sent the CD to the grave!) are lost forever.

    I tried to find instructions how to remove the protection (legally), but it seems incredibly complicated. I do not understand how, when, to my knowledge, I did anything illegal, it is allowed? It's not like I sold the CD or even given them!

    Someone at - it ideas how the hell I get permission to play music?

  • SMART hard disk attributes failed and writing error reading disk

    Hello

    I bought the HP touchsmart tm2 - 2150ca in 2010. So far, everything was fine until last week, the laptop fell and the computer is not able to start. Disk-read write error is popping up. Tried to get the diagnosis of HDD makes nothing happens, is stuck in the initialization screen. Bought a new HDD for it than this one will. Only problem is I have donot have recovery discs. Is there a way I can get it? What is the procedure to get the made disk partition and install the system, hp, etc. in a different partition tools.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello

    You are welcome.

    First of all, about the recovery Partition, it is never established if you use a set of recovery discs HP to provide a way conveient to reinstall an OEM of Windows version - however this is not really necessary if you're creating a 'detail' to perform the installation, you can always reinstall using this option if the need arises.

    As you will be perfoming the Setup from a retail windows installation disc, this will give you the option to create a partition (use the Option on the Setup screen).  Unless you have a particular need to create customized partitions, you can leave Windows Installer for the "unallocated space" - this will automatically create a "System Partition" which is hidden and the main partition of Windows C.

    HP_TOOLS (E) partition will be created automatically by installing the UEFI diagnostic software.

    Kind regards

  • Unable to use Hp Recovery Disk (shipped directly from HP) error in copy file for Windows 8

    I have a laptop Windows 8 HP Envy Dv6-7210US, I got on the order recovery disc at HP to reinstall on the same hard drive size (HDD's wiped) but in doing so the work of until got Disc 2 disc and then it appeared an error message (see link to see the message). I had this same problem with Windows 7 back last year in 2013 and HP sent me a link using a utility from Cyberlink for help for help reinstalling the recovery disc. Unfortunately this does not work on Windows 8, I've tried several times.  I contacted HP and all what they want to do is send me more on the recovery disk but I've already paid for those I had bought ($18.00) and I think it's a waste of time. If HP knows this error is then why not to issue a fix with it when they send recovery disk or who ever made these discs? Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hello:

    I have a possible workaround for you to install a simplified version of the x 64 OEM W8.

    Upload this W8 OEM ISO file from the link below.  It should work with the W8 product key embedded in the BIOS of your PC.

    https://docs.Google.com/file/d/0B0W9PBigPy94aVJWSndyTFNFMzg/edit?PLI=1

    Then use this tool to transfer the file to a Flash DRIVE 4 GB or a DVD.  The tool also performs the bootable file.
