• Change of external hard drive read only to read & write

  Windows 7 64 bit - I have a drive external hard usb with a normal status of reading & writing. However, he has now suddenly become read-only. I don't know what I did to make it. Can someone tell me how I can reverse this situation back to read & write?

  It does not explain how he got in this State, but you must use Diskpart to remove or set state single reading on a drive.

• Vista guard setting external hard drive read-only...

  SP1 Vista Ultimate x 64

  My external hard drive (WD Elements 500 GB) guard get the value read-only. I can go in, select all the files, right click > properties and uncheck the 'read only' box, click OK. When I open the drive once again, they are read only once more.

  I tried to go to the security settings for the player and adjusting so that everyone has the right to change the files and so on, to which I have an error message (on each file) saying that it cannot apply security information that the data are protected against writing.

  The drive is formatted in NTFS and says he's got the A attribute.

  What should I do?

  In most cases, only playback status is defined because there may be no "file locking" when editing and simultaneous removal. I suggest try enabled write caching and testing accessibility in writing files.

  Alternatively, you may have a problem of 'ownership' with the reader.

  To set, view, change, or remove permissions on files and folders

  1. Right-click the file or folder for which you want to set permissions, click Propertiesand then click the Security tab.
  2. Click Edit to open the permissions for dialog box.
  3. Do one of the following:

  ·         To set permissions for a group or user that does not appear in the group or user names box, click Add. Type the name of the group or user you want to set permissions for, and then click OK.

  ·         To change or remove permissions for a user or an existing group, click the name of the user or group.

  1. Do one of the following:

  ·         To grant or deny a permission, in the permissions for , select the allow or deny check box.

  ·         To remove the group or user in the group or user names box, click Remove.

• How to make Toshiba USB 250 GB HARD drive read-only?

  Hello

  I just plug a Toshiba USB 250g external hard drive to replace all the sticks of memory, I've been using.

  I'll use this external hard drive to copy files to other computers and I would like to know how to make the drive read-only.

  Moreover, all the other tips to protect the disc would be extremely welcome.

  I use a Dell with Windows 7 laptop.

  Thank you very much

  Dougal

  I don't know what HARD drive you have exactly, but I know that Toshiba offers a software protection with external hard drives.
  Did you check manuals? Is something like that provided with your HARD drive?

  Maybe you need to use some third party software part for the protection of files on the HARD drive. Google all over the place.

• I can read only half of my product key due to wear, but I need to reinstall xp on my hard drive again. How can I get the key?

  I can read only half of my product key due to wear, but I need to reinstall xp on my hard drive again. How can I get the key?

  If you can still boot your old disk, you can use a program such as one of them:

  KeyFinder: <> http://www.magicaljellybean.com/ >
  Belarc Advisor: <> http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html >

  to read the key out of your old system.

  Also note that if you have a system OEM and the OEM installation disks, the key can be incorporated in the installation discs and can not be necessary when your reinstalling Windows.

• Disk is read only-no matter what I do...

  I have a 2 TB AV disc which worked fine - until this week.  All of a sudden if I try to write to the disk, I get a message saying the disk is write-protected.  Check the drive, all files seem to be marked read-only.  When I change, they return immediately to be read-only.  I am an administrator and I have all permissions.  This happened right after that I ran a disk defragmentation program, but support for the program swear their software is not and cannot change the attributes of any sort, not to mention all the files in each folder on the entire disc.  Any help and thoughts appreciated - it's very frustrating!

  The read-only attribute is not applicable to folders in Windows Vista. So tried to change the read-only attribute how you do doesn't help. Despite tech that said support defragmentation program, it is obvious that defragment the external hard drive has a problem. There is no reason for you to defragment an external hard drive holding nothing but the data anyway.

  Try to take possession of the disc.

  To take ownership of a folder (or drive):

  1 right click on the file (or the disc) you want to take control and then click Properties.
  2. click on the Security tab, click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.
  3. click on modify. Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  4. click on the name of the person you want to give to the property.
  5. If you want this person to be the owner of the files and subfolders in this folder, select the Replace owner of subcontainers and objects to check.
  6. click on OK

  If you do not see the Security tab, then switch Mode without failure.

  Alternatively, you can take possession of the car from the command line. Start an elevated command prompt.

  Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
  When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator". Provide the password/OK to the UAC prompt and you will now have an elevated command prompt.

  For files or directories or disks (will perform action recursively):

  takeown /f directory_name /r /d [Enter]
  ICACLS nom_repertoire/grant administrators: F/t [Enter]

  or

  takeown /f /r d:\ dy [Enter] (where d:\ is the correct letter of the destination drive)

• Read only the virtual disk?

  Hello-

  I have Vmware Server 2 x86_64 installed on my Hardy Heron Ubuntu 8.04.2 Server x86_64 and it seems to work very well.  I have created a virtual machine for Slackware 12.2 and put the DVD iso, Slackware in the right directory.  The virtual machine starts the DVD fine and I started the Slackware Setup.  However, when I went to set up the hard drive with cfdisk (part of the standard installation process Slackware) I noticed two things:

  1. the drive has been turned ReadOnly, so that I could not score; and

  2. I created a virtual disk of 11 GB, but in cfdisk he only appear only 4.7 GB.

  What I am doing wrong?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Well, I'm just guessing because I haven't worked on the software you're talking--can be the partition its display corresponds to the DVD player itself as the DVD is normally read-only and the size of the disc is 4.7 GB. .. You can check it out please.

• 'Read only' external hard drive Toshiba

  After the update to El Capitan yesterday, my drive toshiba external hard now only gives me permission to "read only". How can I fix it?

  If it is formatted to NTFS, it is likely that your third-party software installed to write NTFS must be updated to El Capitan.
