• Shared external hard drive security

  We use the XP and one of our PC has an external hard drive.  I turned on sharing and full security about 6 people access, but only me and one other person are able to create/edit files from another PC.  When other log on the PC with the external drive, they have the right, but not from their PC.  How is - the two of us may have full rights to distance and not others?

• CHKDSK changed on my external hard drive security descriptors, now I am unable to access

  My external hard drive is connected to my computer at startup and it began to run Chkdsk while I was away. I came back to find the security being replaced descriptors. Once this has been done and I logged in, I was unable to access the drive. "G: / is not accessible." Access is denied. "

• Any suggestions to clean the hard drive of personal data, so that I can give my laptop without security concerns?

  Any suggestions to clean the hard drive of personal data, so that I can give my laptop without security concerns?

  Richard's suggestion is about as extreme as you can get. Of course, it works very well and the data is not recoverable, but unless you have State secrets then it might be a little overkill. It is the only way to be sure that the data is destroyed, but 100%!

  There are programs such as (Darin of Boot and Nuke) DBAN or KillDisk which can erase the disc at the point where it would take massive resources (money, time and material) to retrieve all the data. Then, a new installation or Windows recovery would be needed. But you don't have to replace the hard drive. It is effective even against the pirates experienced more than 99.9%.

• Hard drive failure / security of Windows 7 update cause?

  Hey everybody. I'll try to keep this brief. Long story short, I got random shut off for about 2 months and we try to find the problem. Recently, I just replaced the motherboard, and because these are my 2 power problems. Just before we have replaced the. My hard drive has worked very well. But now, we think that my drive broke down. Because my car does not start, sometimes on startup Windows and accidents but my father got a hard drive from a laptop broken in the street and the computer starts without a problem. We have a new album on the way. But how do I get my windows 7 out of it. I always have my product key. My father read the Windows 7 security update was causing this issue? If anyone can help me, thank you, I really just need to know if/how to get my Windows 7 in the new drive or if it is possible to get all the data there. thanks to all.

  If the new motherboard does not have a processor and chip set identical or nearly identical, your Windows installation may not work due to an incompatible Abstraction Layer HAL.  The HAL is customized during the original installation.  Some backup software can do a restore to a different system, but it's a different situation than to try to use your player in this way.

  If your installation of Windows is OEM which also triggers a license problem and cannot be transferred to a different motherboard.

  Data can be recovered by using a bootable operating system or connection to a drive to another computer by USB or directly. This mechanism can also be used to retrieve data.

  I feel for your message, it would be preferable for you to get professional help with your computer.

• Security of the data to hard drive replaced under warranty

  My laptop is fixed by virtue of the extended due to a hard drive failure warranty. HP has no problem, replace the defective drive. However, I asked that they return the drive failed for me, because it contains personal data and I want to make sure it is properly destroyed. They refuse to send me the original drive, unless I have pay $290 for it. Otherwise they will simply ship the laptop to me not repaired.

  I am very hurt to her comfortable while simply trust that the reader will be well destroyed. I hear too many stories on data personal discs playing in landfills or elsewhere. I don't know that it would happen to HP, but then I don't know it won't, either, and it is not a value of potential risk.

  Does anyone know what HP is doing to "destroy" a hard drive? Alternatively, anyone has any advice on how to convince HP to return my hard drive of origin for no additional cost, as it should be without me having to jump through hoops?

  I can assure you that all personal data is secure when HP parts for refurbished devices used. HP treats thousands of thousands of pieces per day. Unless your failed hard drive is labeled "TOP SECRET" noone will give him a second glance. It merely add to the line, dismantled and the parties go into hp quality tests where they create parts for refurbished devices. The trays are too sensitive for them to be swapped around without a clean room. They are destroyed. probably thrown in a dumpster somewhere. Once that any type of dust gets on the trays the discs are unreadable, even if they have been good before he was saying-assembled. It is not cost-efficiant to slow production just to get the trays on a hard drive in a clean room. It is easier to throw away them and have a machine to replace

• Windows 7 Professional... How to get access to security to view my external hard drives and external flash dirves

  Do you want to continue?

  Then I clicked on continue and it displays:

  This problem has been resolved in collaboration with support of higher HP for Z book 17 mobile workstation.

  Steps:

  (1) determines that it is not NTFS problem

  (2) using the MSCONFIG the problem has been isolated to a single service

  When this service has been disabled and after reboot, the problem of access to the files is resolved.

  Results: HP had installed software on the HP Z book 17 laptop or mobile workstation which, by default, block communication with external hard drives and flash drives external.

  This HP Client Security software replaces or blocks all right click changes settings become apparent.  It blocks the change of ownership.  It blocks the administrator privileges.  It blocks all is used.

  The HP Client Security software has been changed and changed to deny privileges (default setting) to allow the communication with external drives.  When you go into the setting for this software, it is now a humming noise and maybe I need to download the drivers and software again to see if this problem is also corrected.

  Thanks for your comments.  I spent a lot of time on this and didn't understand why all right-click methods had failed.  The default software setting HP deny had trumped right click all changes.

• Secure Hard Drive wipe for Poweredge 2950

  Hello, I recently got a hold of a Dell Poweredge 2950 but until I can do something with it. I need to clear safe hard drives with killdisk (or something similar that will provide newspapers) and I have problems with what I believe, it is the raid controller. I followed these instructions

  http://sysadmin-e.com/securely-wiping-hard-disk-drives-on-Dell-PowerEdge-servers-with-BartPE-and-kill-disk

  and came very close, but it did not work. I have when I get on the use of killdisk for windows, I am able to see the virtual drives all named with the perc 5 / i but later I receive errors when trying to erase the drives. I'm starting to think that it is not possible at this point, the Active Server, but I wanted to see if anyone had experience with this or advice and assistance. Thank you.

  Why do you need to erase the discs on the receiving server safe?  It is usually the responsibility (desire and political) of an organization, before getting rid of a system/disk.

  Are these SAS or SATA drives?  You could attach them to a JBOD controller (PERC 5 support NOT of JBOD/no RAID), and then do the wipe directly to disk without the need to manage virtual disks on the controller.

• How to change the security permissions to access the data restored on a separate hard drive?

  I keep data such as program installations, documents, etc., on a separate hard disk systems sees reader1 (D:\). The previous operating system was Windows XP Pro and before removing this BONE, all hard drives have been saved on a separate external hard drive that works on USB. The new operating system is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

  After Installing Win 7, I restored the data from the backup disk drive. Now, none of the files on the disk of such modified data box that save, delete, etc. At first, I found that all the files have been marked read-only, but I was able to clear this attribute on the data reader. However, now I can't change anything because I am informed that access is denied. I am enrolled a s administrater with all permissions. I think that the restored data has inherited attributes permission that were defined when used or created by the previous operating system, Windows XP. How can I get permission to use these data?
