How can I connect a HARD drive external through terminal to display a hidden folder.

I keep all my important data in a dmg encrypted in a folder hidden in my mac (I know, I'm a little paranoid), long story short, my mac HARD drive wiped. Luckily I had a backup, but is on an external HARD disk and the file is still hidden, I can't understand how to access (I have tried to view all the hidden files on my mac, did not work). So the question is, how to find the folder hidden on my external HARD drive? I have done it before by terminal but forgot the command. >:| BTW, I'm in Yosemite.

Thanks in advance.

invisible files begin with a.

CD to the directory where the file is located.

LS - a

shows all files, including those with a. at the beginning of their name.

named files. and... are up and down links in the chain of directory - do not modify.

  • How can I put a hard drive of the laptop into a desktop computer?

    I have a HP Pavilion 5000 ZV who died some time ago, and the hard drive is always good. It's 60 GB running Windows Xp. there I got the laptop from a friend because they did not want. Also I have a desktop IBM Aptivia since 1998 and it has a huge 8 GB HDD running windows 98. I want to put the laptop drive in the desktop and take out the old one. I would buy a new hard drive, but it's Microsoft Office 2003 pro. This is the only copy I have and I did re install the product key. I need this computer for my workshop. How to operate? Is there a part I need? If Yes, where can I get a?

    If I understand correctly, you have a laptop HP Pavilion ZV 5000 which doesn't work but has a 60 GB HDD that has installed Windows XP and Office 2003 is also installed.

    You want to put the laptop hard drive in an old desk.

    You have two problems: hardware and software.

    Hardware issues can probably be solved easily (you would need something like this $10--> http://tinyurl.com/d539pwf kit - but read the comments).

    The problem of software is that you can not take an existing installation of Windows XP and completely change the hardware.  If you try, you will need to do a reinstall of Windows before it will work.

    If you have a generic OEM XP install CD, you may be able to do a repair installation (save applications - for example Office 2003), but the CD must be at a same or later version of XP (Home, Pro) and Service Pack level as the version of XP that is installed.  You must also have the product key that is associated with the OEM install CD (I think that the key to the label on the HP will fail).

    More likely, you will need to do a clean install, which will involve formatting the drive.

    If you have the Office 2003 installation CD, you can retrieve its installation key from the drive of the laptop before installing it in the office.  Probably the best way to do this is to put the laptop in a hard drive enclosure external drive, which attach to a working computer and use of Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder using his function to "Load hive".

  • How can I recover data hard drive XP in Visa 64 bit computer?

    Other than using a hard drive in XP as a slave in a computer 64 bit Vista, how can I recover the files in the drive XP given that the motherboard of the computer broken XP?

    Hi, amymay5!

    You can retrieve any information on the disk hard until you connect it to a mother's work. So, if you have a Vista computer, the option to connect as a slave is easier to achieve your goal.

    Good luck!

  • How to restore vista OPS hard drive external bitlocker encrypted after main disk failure

    I am running Vista Ultimate and my main hard drive is encrypted by Bitlocker.  I use the backup utility in Vista for backup of that my drive hard main set on a USB attached hard drive which is also encrypted by Bitlocker.  In a case of failure of the primary hard drive and installing a new hard drive, how can I restore my main hard drive (the new drive) to the USB attached bitlocker encrypted external hard? My vista ultimate OPS has been upgraded to the origin of vista home premium and so I did not have the ultimate Setup DVD disk.  I have the disk of vista Home premium.

    Create a recovery disk that the restoration of the backup complete on this topic option (including family Vista drive premium will be not because this option is only available on the Enterprise and Ultimate versions)-should not do anything on bitlocker on it (which will take care of itself during the restore process unless you configure to use a flash drive for protection - then the flash player is also required {but) not a recovery disk different}).  You can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD (including backup complete PC Restore).  Be sure to get the drive to boot correctly - there are several ways to make records and this requires a way for it to work (but those that are included in the manual or on the website).

    For more information, here's a great article on bitlocker with Vista.   It does not exactly cover your question, but it is very instructive in the process and the technology (and might help you if you are facing a problem on the road) and its good information to have if you use bitlocker (which can be difficult and can cause problems of recovery if you do not just because of the extra complication of encryption (backup and restore). http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2008.06.bitlocker.aspx.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    Add to what was explained on the SATA technology I have details for your motherboard listed below.

    Serial ATA

    • 4 SATA connectors:
      • SATA1 = black
        SATA2 = white
        SATA3 = blue
        SATA4 = yellow
        NOTE: SATA connector each is the same color across different manufacturers.
      • supports 1 disk serial ATA-150 on each SATA connector
      • Speed up to 1.5 Gbps, in line with the SATA 1.0 specification

    As the jury only supports format SATA-150, you will not be able to take advantage of higher speed rate.

    4. hold the HARD drive door handle and remove the drive HARD ASSY.

    When the computer asks me to add readers he concludes that it can not be connected.

    So what I did was to go to the command prompt and entered regart and taken other steps that I got from youtube. That solved the problem. Thank you everyone.
