How to access files on my drive Z?

I run Windows 7 Pro and have a secure partitioned drive called Z-drive.  When I try to access this drive, the computer tells me that I don't have permission to view the files on this drive.  This makes no sense because I'm logged in as an administrator.

This partition takes 186 GB of space on my hard drive... it's over 1/4 hard my entire computer space.  I should have access to it.

I called Microsoft support and they told me that I have to pay to get access to my remote computer because Microsoft 7 is no longer supported.  I hope I can get help so that Microsoft does not require me to pay for disk space that I bought when I bought this machine.

Please help me to access this drive.

Thank you!

It is not on your hard drive.  It does not all the space on your hard drive.

Records management function, your main hard drive is '500 GB'.  The size is in quotes because the manufacturer of the drive, 500 GB = 500,000,000,000 bytes.  Windows, however, uses "kilobyte" means 1024 bytes; "Mo" means 1024 KB; and 'to' means 1024 GB.

Therefore,.

500,000,000,000 bytes / 1024 = 488,281,250 KB

488,281,250 OF 1024 KB = 476,837.16 MB

476,837.16 MB / 1024 = 465,66 GB

For example, when disk management displays GB 465,76, which translates one about 500 GB drive in disk measurement manufacturer.

The three partitions displayed on your drive hard drive total 465 GB, including 186 for your system drive and 254 GB for your data (which is almost not used, you probably have not transferred your files of data user yet. see http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-move-windows-7-personal-folders-my-documents-another-drive.htm).

It seems that you also have a 2 TB WD My Passport Ultra and a 500 GB WD My Book attached as external drives.

My guess is that the 'Z' drive has something to do with automatic SmartWare backup online Western Digital, especially given that you have the SmartWare CD in your CD drive.  Experimentally, disconnect your computer from the Internet and restart.  Is the drive Z still there?

    I want to save the file in my iCloud account, but free space in the hard drive of my MACBOOK

    There is no practical way to do it.

    If you do not enable iCloud Drive on your Mac, you can upload files to iCloud by car via the web interface at https://www.icloud.com

    But you can access the files from the web interface and won't icloud drive as drive in the Finder.  You cannot use the Finder to access the files. You need to download it to use.

  • How to access files in a folder to store data for a virtual machine?

    Hi all

    I'm relatively new to virtualization in general (I'm learning!) and have a question.  I have a host server of VMware ESXi 5.0 set in place with several VMs configured in it.  I also have various data stores configured, usually a virtual computer by the data store.  Most of the virtual machines are Windows, but one I have problems with is a machine virtual 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.  I currently manage and administer the server remotely over a slow connection.  Anticipate, the last time I was on the same network as the host server, I downloaded to a folder on the same database as the VM RHEL, about 5 GB of files that I knew that I would need to access in the VM RHEL install different software.  Now, I'm trying to "expose" these files very to the RHEL VM so I can install the software.  How would I do that?

    From what I've gathered reading other posts here, I could create an ISO that contains the files and then upload that to the server on the host to be mounted into the CD player, but my connection is so slow that would take a very long time.  I also believe that I could create a network share on my Windows 7 computer and allow the virtual machine to access the files in this way - but once again, my connection is the problem (not to mention that I do not have a GUI installed on RHEL and I'm not a Linux expert).

    None of the files I need are ISOs, unfortunately, so I can not directly mount the CD-ROM drive in the virtual computer from the data store.  If I have access to a shell on the host server, it does not recognize the command vmware-mount so I can't access the virtual disk for RHEL to just copy the files into it.  Also, it does not recognize the mkisofs command (of which i google trying to figure out if I could create the ISO on the host itself).

    So, basically, I'm looking for a way to access files in a virtual machine that are in the same bank data, as its virtual disk.  If that is possible to copy these files in virtual drive somehow, or mount a CD-ROM drive or hard drive that exposes these files on the virtual computer, I don't have a preference...  I'm just trying to not have to re - download the files in a different format (or using a different method) since they are already on the host server.

    Any suggestions would be very appreciated that - thank you.

    Welcome to the community,

    one solution might be to enable SSH on the host computer and then use scp to access or download files from the host/datastore (within the Linux VM).

  • How to upload files to iCloud drive without installing anything on my PC.

    I use a PC with Windows 7, and currently, I don't use Apple products.

    I have an iCloud account, and I wanted to add some files to iCloud drive and make room on my computer.

    How can I use my browser (Chrome) to add files to iCloud by car?

    When I go to https://www.icloud.com/#iclouddrive , it tells me to download the software. I don't want to download any software iCloud or sync with my computer, I just want to download my files to iCloud by car so I can make room on my computer.

    Thank you!

    I can't find any documentation from Apple that says clearly, but I suspect that there is a requirement first activate iCloud drive from an Apple device or iCloud for Windows. Once this has been done, you should be able to download directly using the link you posted (and I'm able to do).

    Note that iCloud is mainly oriented towards the synchronization of data between devices rather than having a storage cloud orientation only. There are other services that can be better adapted to your needs.

  • Pavilion: How I clean files (recovery) D-drive or expand the drive?

    I try to upgrade to WIndows 10, but not because the D drive is full. I tried to right click on the drive in disk management, but don't get a Help menu (which doesn't help).  I clicked on show hidden files, but the files in D are still hidden.

    LMA16501

    Basically - you do not have!  If you bother with the kind of recovery partition, you will 'break' and prevent you from then do any function of HP recovery.

    My guess is that you're trying to upgrade through Windows Update Win10 - which is the more error-prone and unreliable way to do.

    Instead, you must download and create this link installation media, insert the media while Win8.1 is running and see if it then you can perform the update: 10 Windows Installer using the media - Windows help authoring tool
