folders on removable drive

From one day to the other, the files on my USB became shortcut and whenever I try to open them, it says: "Windows cannot find 'F:\Recycler\3ddb9016.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. "Someone knows how to fix this?

So why folders still appear on the screen? Also, is there a way to recover deleted files?

Hello

You might be lucky with the help of Piriform Recuva:

https://www.Piriform.com/Recuva/download

Recovery from damaged or formatted disks

The dreaded hard disk crash. The file that you forgot to save before you reformatted a drive. The memory card camera with your holiday snaps that no longer works. Recuva can handle them too.

Windows (and other operating systems) uses a hidden index on hard drives, USB drives and memory cards. Instead of having to go through the entire disk for a file you request, all this has to do is look it up in the index - a much faster process.

See you soon.

    There might be a chance of virus corruption, then, I suggest you run a full scan using the Microsoft Safety Scanner (MSS) to ensure that the computer is virus-free.

    The Microsoft Safety Scanner free is a downloadable security tool that allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malicious software. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

     

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Hope that the information provided is useful. Let us know if you have any concerns related to Windows. We will be more than happy to help you.

  • Cannot rename personal folders on external drive

    I have an external drive WD Passport that I keep my personal files. After having a virus deleted, I find that I can not rename one of my files due to the read-only attribute being degraded.  I am running Windows XP Home Edition.  I tried to restart in Mode safe and by changing the attributes it - didn't work.  I tried to change the attributes by using the command prompt - did not work.  I need to get this shady read-only out of my files so they can be renamed.  Any ideas?

    I'm sorry that apparently you won't believe me - or Microsoft.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326549

    Other things to try/test. I don't know if you have tried these things or not.

    1. are you able to rename the files/folders on a drive different from the system external hard? If not, then maybe some infection had damaged you Windows files. If this is the case, then you can try the (sfc/scannow) System File Checker or a repair installation, or do a clean installation of Windows. There is no way for me to know the exact state of your computer from here, or what would be best for you to do.

    2. can you rename the files/folders on the hard disc of origin if it is attached to another computer? If Yes, the problem points to your original operating system is damaged by the virus. If not, then the virus probably damaged files on the external hard drive. It is not uncommon, especially if you have been infected by a kind of ransomware. Again, I have no way of knowing that you have been infected.

    3. If you can rename the files/folders on a different hard disk, you can also try to move the data off the external problem, formatting and see if you can rename the files now.

    And that's all I have. Good luck in your efforts. I have nothing else to add about this.

  • How to transfer my photos on a removable drive

    My photos are in the windows photo gallery and I just need to put them on my drive removable usb and I do not know how?

    My photos are in the windows photo gallery and I just need to put them on my drive removable usb and I do not know how?

    First of all, please note that 'download' is really the right term. What you want to do is * copy * (or move) the files to the removable disk.

    Secondly, the fact that the files are images is irrelevant.

    Thirdly, the fact that the drive is connected by USB and removable is also irrelevant.

    So what you want to do is copy the files to a location on your computer to another. There are several ways to do so and the two most common are the copy - paste and drag - move.

    Here's what I recommend: open Windows Explorer or my computer and navigate to the folder wjhere your photos are stored. Open Windows Explorer or my computer again, then navigate to the removable drive. Resize and reposition the two windows, so they are all two visible. Select the files you want to copy (if you want all, click on in this window, and then press Ctrl + A). Then right-click-move them to another window. You will be asked whether if you want to copy or move. Choose the one you want.

  • Error "insert a disk in the removable drive.

    I just bought an external hard drive (Toshiba alu 2.5) and plugs in via USB. In 'My computer', it shows as removable disk (f :)). When I try to open the drive it shows "insert a disk in the removable drive. I tried to rename the drive to a different letter using disk management and also tried to uninstall and reinstall and download the drivers. I can do something very stupid, but I can't find answers!

    I think it's a hardware problem with the device and you should requst a replacement around where you bought it.  If we get the same problem, I frankly don't know what to do because these devices are so easy to install that any error must be with the itsellf of the unit (or the ability of Vista to recognize for what it is, but leads to a problem of compatibility or some other problem that I can't even imagine).

    Let me know how it goes.

    I hope this helps.

    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

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

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

  • Computer will not recognize Pro Duo or removable drives.

    Computer Vista will not read my Pro Duo chip, or it will show all removable drives except ROM USB where I have an optical mouse wirelesss connected (when I check my computer).  The import wizard shows only a USB where prior that he showed, f, g, h, etc.

    Thank you.

    Thank you for these two answers, unfortunately the first did not work, and the second deals with USB.  The computer will not recognize any location chip memory, they do not appear on the Import Wizard, or MY computer.  The only two drives that appear are drive C and drive J, which is where I have a wireless mouse hooked up.   Just before this problem I had... and still not... a bottom of screen message "one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned... Click this message for more information."  The only connected usb is the mouse, and it works fine.  Solutions that deal with USB issues aren't really questions I have, except that in the future (if the problem remains) USB ports do not appear on my computer either.  Someone who has some said knowledgge I need to re - map the hard drive, or something?
