• I'm trying to run a program back to 7. I know it is not possible, but anyone who has used dosbox? And if I load xp on an external hard drive can I have essentially two separate computers?

  How can I run a program back through windows 7? DOSbox? zinstall? Or loading of a xp via external hard drive? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

  DOSbox or BACK (or XP or another 32-bit version of WIndows) on a virtual machine.

  An external hard drive can be used only if it is connected by SATA (not USB). In this case, it seems to be an internal drive.

  If you have Windows 7 Professional, you can use XP Mode. Otherwise, use VMWare Player http://www.vmware.com/products/player/, Virtualbox http://www.virtualbox.org/ or Windows Virtual PC http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx to host your virtual machine.

• How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate? I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2),

  How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate?  I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2), and I need to do backups plus two from other computers on the same external hard drive.  To do this, I think I would need to identify each backup file separate I know which file to specify if I need to do a restore.

  How can I accomplish this? The program does not seem to give me the ability to specify a file to which to write the backup during a given session files.  In addition, I do not understand why I can not see the file name in Windows Explorer - my files options are defined to be able to view hidden and system.  Would be grateful for any help you can provide, tonight if possible.   Best regards, Oliver for Norm

  I have a HP dv7-4296nr, partition recovery and recovery disks. Now, I want to change the current HARD drive to the new HARD drive. But I wonderring after I change the HARD drive, can I use the restore disc I burned before reinstalling windows?

  Hello

  Yes you can.  Your existing set of recovery disks will not only install the operating system on the new hard drive, but will also reinstall all of the original software that came with your laptop as well as re - create the Partition D of recovery on the new drive.

  If I had to format a hard drive, it will delete everythink including windows xp disk if yes I would be able to see all thinking when I turn on my computer, as if that were to happen I could use windows install for install windows xp

  Gaara_2k6,
  Welcome to the responses of the Forums.  The short answer to your questions are Yes and no and no.

  Depends on how you format the drive, it will delete everything on the drive.  Now, it may still be recoverable with a software specialist or moving to a data recovery company.

  If you formatted your hard drive you would not be able to start to do anything, because there would be nothing on the startup disk.  With the Windows XP CD or with the recovery media provided by the manufacturer of the PC is the only way to reinstall Windows.

• I need to format the hard drive but don't have the windows vista disc to reinstall, but have had the key code that vista was preinstalled do I have to buy a new drive for vista

  I need to format the hard drive but don't have the windows vista disc to reinstall, but have had the key code that vista was preinstalled do I have to buy a new drive for vista

  Hello

  How to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• If you have two hard drives, can you wipe the second and just use it as a storage device?

  If you have two HARD drives in a PC Windows 7, can you remove everything (including the System 32, Windows users, literally everything) in the second and still use his computer? All my programs on the first HDD would remain on my PC, but all the files of the second being scratched? I'm running out of space on my first HARD drive and need to know if I can keep the second as storage just pure.

  Thank you.

  Hey Elliot,

  Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

  According to the description, it seems that you want to delete all the data on the secondary hard drive without affecting the first hard drive operating system files.

  I'll be happy to help you with this.

  If the operating system (Windows 7) is installed on the first hard drive, it has nothing to do with the second hard disk. You can go ahead and delete all data without hesitation.

  Note: Make sure that you remove the data from the hard drive where Windows 7 is installed.

  If you want to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, use disk cleanup.

  For more information, see the link.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to let us know. We will be happy to help you.

• Can't access the files from the HARD drive of any account on the windows computer 7

  Hello

  When I tried to connect my Western digital external hard drive to a 32-bit desktop P 3 with a Windows XP SP1, then this HARD drive is not detected. Then I tried to copy his WD driver ITS a USB Flash drive, then isntalled all the WD HARD drive was always plugged into my computer. After that, the HARD drive was identified by computer and appear in my computer. As I thought that this folder has been created by the installation of the driver, did not exist on my HARD drive before connected to the desktop computer.

  When I plugged my WD HDDagain to my laptop HP with Windows 7 SP1 64 bit and I tried open this folder, and then the main folder only opened without facing access denied, however, access to all of its subfolders, and the files inside it has been declined.

  In addition, althoguh the username admin Curernet "Mohammad" can open the folder of human "83f04ce083fb03083bb88e50", as shown in the screenshot above, it can not access all of the subfolders, files in the main folder, and to access, I will need to use the scecurity tab. Thus, it would be absolute nonsense, if I want to have access to all of the subfolders, I will need to use the security for each tab.

  How do I gain access to all of the subfolders with use of the Security tab once the time (i.e. as long as all subfolders are inside the main folder, then simply use the main folder security tab?

  

  As long as the current username "Mohammad" can open the folder of "83f04ce083fb03083bb88e50" man, "Mohammad" is so allowed system to have access to the main folder as shown in the screenshot above, then I think that the username 'Mohammad' will have to reach all subfolders as well. However, when you try to open any subfolder or file, then the current user 'Mohammad' name could not have access to all of the subfolders in the main folder and all subfolders or files opening gave me this error below (screenshots below)

  

  

  I tried to remove this main folder, however, each time, I found myself with a loop "you need permission SYSTEM to make changes to this file.

  

  Original title: file access denied

  Groan.  It is so easy to fix, and you should have gotten a lot better support now.  Surprisingly, the worst suggestion came directly from the "Microsoft Support Engineer" Reda Singh, his suggestion potentially compromising the security of your computer while doing absolutely nothing to solve the problem.  Fortunately, it seems like you didn't do something quite right and so the script was not run.

  First of all, let me explain why this difficult access occurs in the first place.  Originally, you had three 'users' granted access to training, SYSTEM, Administrators, and Mohammad.  SYSTEM allows Windows to read your disk, and retrieve things like its label.  It can also allow your antivirus software to access the drive.  Because this OPTION is enabled, Administrators is not accomplish anything, even if you are an administrator.  As long as this OPTION is enabled, this permission only works for programs, that you manually raised to run as administrator.  This leaves access to the drive depend on the last entry, Mohammad.  The problem is the SID behind Mohammad is only good on the computer, it was created, so if you connect this HARD drive on another computer, no access is allowed!  Enter the security on the other computer dialog box, you can either see something "could not read permissions" or you will see the SYSTEM, directorsand a third entry with a long series of numbers.  It's your first computer Mohammad , and it will not work on another computer.

  It is not surprising that you're facing this problem because you are using the drive on multiple computers, which is running XP that is not UAC.  Here's how to unlock a storage drive (in Windows 7) so that it can be normally accessed in any PC without any permissions problem:

  1. Press [Windows] (or click on the circles to start), and then type "user account control".
  2. In the search results, click on "change user account control settings."
  3. Drag the slider to "never notify".
  4. Click [OK] to confirm the changes and restart your computer.
  5. Open Windows Explorer, right-click on the affected drive, and then click Properties -> Security (tab)-> [Advanced]-> owner (tab)-> [change].
  6. You should be on a dialog box that asks what you want to change the owner.  Click on Administrators.
  7. Check Replace owner of subcontainers and objects, and click [OK].  Windows should start processing all the files on the disc.  This may take a few minutes.
  8. When it's done, click [OK] to close the property message and then close out of all other dialog boxes.
  9. In Windows Explorer, click the drive affected again, and then click Properties -> Security (tab)-> [Advanced]-> [edit permissions].
  10. Now in the dialog box Advanced security settings , click the button [delete] repeatedly to remove all permission entries.
  11. Add SYSTEM and grant full control.
      1. Click on [Add...].
      2. Type 'SYSTEM' and press [Enter].
      3. Check full control in the allow column and press [Enter].
  12. Add Administrators and grant full control.
  13. Add users and grant Full control.
  14. In the dialog box Advanced security settings , you should have three entrances of permissions: SYSTEM Administratorsand users, all granted full control.  Check "Replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable from this object" and click [OK].
  15. Click [Yes] to confirm the replacement of permissions.  Again, Windows start to process all files on the disk, which may take a few minutes.
  16. When he finishes, close to all the dialog boxes and check that all records are now accessible.  You may have to refresh (or close and reopen) explore to see the changes.
  17. Assuming that it worked, we will re-enable UAC to reduce the vulnerability of temporary security, that we created earlier.  Press [Windows] and then type 'user account control '.
  18. In the search results, click on "change user account control settings."
  19. Drag the slider to the position below the top (position #2, by default).
  20. Click [OK] and restart your computer.  Now, the files remain accessible.

  This should straighten the permissions of your disk storage so that you can use it again.  You may need to empty the trash on this drive after changing permissions.

  Don't do this procedure on your C:\ drive, it will seriously reduce the security of your Windows installation.  This is for the readers of storage only.  If you need access to a specific file that you created to C:\, you can safely do the steps above on this issue, but never on the C:\ drive itself.  Please note that when you perform this procedure on a folder instead of a hard drive, you will need to replace this step #10:

  10. now in the dialog box Advanced security settings , uncheck the box "Include permissions can be inherited from the parent to this object" and click [delete] to confirm.  If some permission entries remain, click [Remove] until they are all gone.

  The concept is the same in Windows Vista, even if the exact steps differ from the foregoing at least Windows 8.  In Windows 8, you must also disable UAC with a registry tweak because, unlike Windows 7, UAC remains on even when the value of "Never notify", giving rise to all sorts of problems in Explorer tries to work with file permissions.

  Oh and to answer one other question I saw you ask from the beginning: this folder of the .net Framework was created by .net Framework Installer.  He breaks all the rules and frustrating unpacks his junk everywhere where it feels like.  I got it decompress on a front SD card, making the installation would take forever.  After installing the .net Framework, you probably disconnected the drive before restarting your computer, so these files let me.  Or the installation crashed and started you again.  Meanwhile, installs the failure left its Temp files behind.  It was supposed to remove the folder when the installation is complete.  You can remove safely as the folder manually.
