How to disable disk hard identification in LR 3.3?

Hello!

I have a problem with the LR 3.3 on my Windows XP. I have a lot of hard drive (1 TB, 2 TB SATA2, made by Samsung) in my XP system with my RAW photos, all encrypted by Truecrypt. When I need to import my photos existing warranty hard disk (Truecrypt is the best tool I tested), LR 3.3 blocks the Move option and add in the import dialog box.

I have to reproduce my photos by copy only - options and Memory Card

LR 3.3 is the thought, that my encrypted hard drives are my memory cards and disable add and move option.

How to turn off this bad identyfication?

And in the end, every time when I want to import photos - LR 3.3 seeks all my TB hard disks (more then 30 minutes) to create / view my thumbs folders - and I can't stop this search. How to turn off too?

Concerning

Remisteness,

There are a few things to mention about your problem:

(1) analyzes all drives after importation from

Just after the opening of the import dialog box, try clicking on a hard drive as soon as possible and uncheck 'include subfolders '. This should prevent the scanning of readers.

(2) what is presented to the o/s for an encrypted device

Of course, your encryption software presents 'virtual' disks as removable devices for the operating system, which led LR to treat them as 'cards '.

I have a similar software used to access data encrypted in "File containers" (Backup PrivateDisk). In backup PrivateDisk, I can configure the way a 'virtual' drive is presented to the operating system, either as a device removable simulated hard drive. If I choose 'Simulate the hard drive', the 'virtual' drive is represented as a hard drive in my WinXP and LR does not show as a removable device, thus without the restriction on 'Cards' during the import.

(3) the restrictions imposed by LR while the importation of "cards".

LR prevents users to move photos when directly accessing a memory card, because if a file would get damaged when importing valid none of the copy of the image would not exist everywhere. Also, adding photos residing on a real memory card makes no sense either, that too many users would look for their original images after disconnecting the (and possibly reformatting) memory card.

There was a long discussion in this forum lately on whether it makes sense or not that LR is trying to protect users of hurt them. I guess we can see it either, and the limits chosen by Adobe type to protect Adobe from too many questions/accusations.

(4) solution to workaround for LR 3.3

To be able to add or move a removable device in LR 3.3, you can do the following:

  1. You create one or two import Presets, with adding / moving as long as the action to perform. You must create these presets while doing a test import to an external HARD drive or of interal, then save from there.
  2. When you access your removable device, navigate to the drive by clicking on the drive letter in the drive below "Files" list and not clicking on the removable device in the section "devices."
  3. Choose one of the built in step 1 import presets

This will use move or add as the action to take (to be noted that no action at all is highlighted), even if you import from a 'map '.

Because this behavior is a hidden feature / without papers (or same bug?), we do not know if this possibility will be existing in the future releases of LR, but at the moment it seems be a workaround.

  • How to clone disk HARD of backup/restore for ideapad with pre-installed win8 and recovery button work?

    Hi all

    I recently bought a y510p ideapad. It came with pre-installed win8, and I have no recovery CD. I intend to play with linux on this laptop, but do not want to lose win8. So before I have potentially immediately reformat, I think to make a copy of clone of my HDD on an external USB drive. The general plan is like that,

    1. make a copy of mobile on external USB HARD drive

    2 mud with linux - and foolishly autour reformat the entire process

    3. have fed up with linux and want to return to windows

    4 copy of retrospective data from usb driver external HDD latop

    5 return to the comfort of win8

    With the help of this tool (clonezilla) will work in the above scenario?

    http://www.MakeUseOf.com/tag/free-advanced-hard-drive-cloning-solution-from-Clonezilla/

    If not, are there any other alternatives (free if all goes well) I could use?

    My intention with the backup, is that after that I have 'restore' things, "a key recovery" button should continue to work as before.

    Make the plan will cause OKR is not functioning properly. To prove this to get a hard drive of exact size and make a clone of hard disk of the device. Remove the hard drive from the unit and place the disc clone hard inside. You can now play with the disk hard clone to your hearts desire but OKR first test if it still works. Even if OKR no longer work, you can proceed with the installation of linux. Once you're disgusted with Linux everything you have to do is replace the hard disk clone with the original hard drive and you're back to win with OKR 8 still works.

  • Satellite U300-PSU30E - how to fix disk HARD runing Vista

    Is it possible to fix the HARD disk if the repair of Vista does not work?

    At startup, I can choose the repair of the system, but there is no HARD disk driver.
    Vista does not start.

    The strange thing is that Linux can access the HARD disk. The re-partition and the boot partition seem to be OK, but the Vista partition is damaged.
    Linux application to use windows and give 'chkdsk /f' and 2 startup time.
    Nice, but I have no way to get to a working command prompt.

    Is there a way to access the BIOS settings?
    BIOS detects the HARD drive and displays its name and type (MK1637GSX).
    Just wondering if there is something wrong with the BIOS settings.

    The repair CD is not helping. He asks a HARD disk driver.
    With the CD, access to the boot partition and the WinRE partition works, but accessing the partition Vista doesn't.
    Sometimes I find myself in a bad score.
    Directory on the partition change Vista takes about 10 minutes (if it happens to succeed).

    I managed to find the disk.inf on the Vista partition once, but after a long installation there is a popup saying that nothing could be installed.

    I doubt that there could be something wrong with BIOS, you can access the BIOS by pressing F2.
    But if Linux is bootable, then everything is OK with the BIOS and HARD disk
    I think that only Vista partition and master boot record may be defective.

    > Repair CD does not help. He asks a HARD disk driver.
    I think that you need to install the SATA drive in order to recognize the HARD drive.
    The SATA drivers should be part of the Robson package which is on the European driver Toshiba page.
    Maybe then you could get access to HARD drive and running a chkdsk /F

    I think that your laptop is not the recovery of HARD drive partition.
    Only the most recent models of laptops that are not delivered with the recovery disc supports this feature.

  • How to burn disk HARD of Encore CS5 to see on TV?

    Hi, I was storing my videos in Blu - Ray discs. I now want to go road/Media Player to drive through our Samsung LED TV. I tried to burn a video last night with Encore CS5 with the single option allowed me to "flash.swf" but it won't play on my TV. I can see the file, but not game. Help, please!

    I have through this earlier, not wanting to buy a drive based player, but want to play hi-def with menus, similar to the BluRay.  So what I ended up doing, was to create the BluRay ISO of still and just copy the ISO on the hard drive of a Dune Media Player, who was the only player in media, I could find who would play BluRay ISO, with the support of menu.  A lot of players would play the ISO, but without the menus.

    The dunes are a bit expensive but works perfectly.  Perhaps you could find a used one on Ebay, but make sure it supports BluRay menus, because not all models do.  My model is a little older, don't know if it is still available.

  • How do I change or remove the password disk HARD on my Tecra A9

    Hi all

    I looked for where I could, but didn't find any indication at all, so I'm asking here.

    I have a Tecra A9 in need of resettlement, what I like to do for me.
    I have a very good password on the HARD disk which I do not wish to give. So I want to change it or remove it completely.

    Please someone, how do I do? In the BIOS, I don't see that it has been defined, but all what I try, I can not change or get rid of it.

    Maybe I should add that since the original installation of the PC it was years ago and I don't remember not the 'Administrator' password.

  • Satellite L850 - how to replace a HARD disk recovery partition?

    Hello.

    Toshiba laptop Satellite L850. PSKDGA-02Y012. The original HARD drive has failed in his colleagues even mobile, so we replaced the two HARD drive after you have created a recovery USB. When used to restore the operating system to original status of OOB.
    That has worked and portable runs much, but now I want to BACK the recovery partition (now only on the USB I think) for the new HARD drive.

    Simple to shrink the disk HARD C: (partition 2) on the HARD disk, but then how to transfer twhats on the USB (USB recovery stick) back on the HARD drive?

    Thanks for any help.

    Karim...

    Hello karim

    When you buy the notebook you will get it with preinstalled operating system (recovery image). Original recovery image is saved on the HARD disk on the recovery partition.
    Each owner of the laptop has option to make the backup recovery image and create recovery media. It could be the DVD or USB support. You can do this by using preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator tool.
    This tool will create bootable recovery media that can be used for the installation of original image recovery if there is problem with the installation of image disk HARD recovery or when the drive is defective and must be replaced.

    Where the HARD drive is faulty and should be replaced or the owner of the laptop to upgrade HARD drive, you can install original image created using recovery recovery media (USB). After installing recovery image, you will have the same situation as for the first boot after the purchase of the laptop. With other words notebook will have factory settings again.

    In this case original recovery image is already copied onto the new HARD drive and you will also be able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery. There is therefore no reason to copy a recovery on HARD drive media.
    Please note: installation of HARD drive recovery works with the factory only settings.

    If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

    Good luck.

    Hello

    I hope that you use the correct and just HARD drive password because it of necessary to remove and delete the existing HARD disk password.
    If you have forgot the password for HARD drive then the HARD drive should be locked and you would not be able to unlock the HARD drive!

    Generally, the HARD drive password can be deleted in the BIOS.
    Please ensure that another password would be removed too.

  • Tecra M3: How to remove a password disk HARD known?

    Greetings, all.
    I am a technician in a large enterprise COMPUTING and have been presented with a Tecra M3 which took the user/HDD to set passwords.
    I need to redistribute the laptop to another employee, but I need to make sure that no game of passwords of the bios.

    Now that I know what is the existing password, I have reset / removed the user password, eliminating 'password =' fast before the start.

    However, I find no docco to tell me how to remove the HARD drive password. I am always prompted with "password HARD drive integrated =" command prompt.

    Can I put it, I change it. I just can't take it off.
    It's probably somewhere simple, I'm not quite familiar with this model.

    I should note here: I KNOW WHAT IS THE EXISTING PASSWORD, so I'm not a suspect type "how to bypass a password disk HARD unknown?". I just need to know how to, or remove it completely if the new user-to-be is not invited.

    Hi PikaBrian,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    To disable automatic disk checking at the start of Windows through registry, go to the following registry key:

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    322756 how to back up and restore the registry in Windows: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

    In the right pane, double click BootExecute.

    The default value of the key is autocheck autochk *

    * means that each drive is checked for consistency. Just add /K:C to the end before *. /K switch will disable autocheck on C: drive at Windows startup. If the final value should look like this:

    / k: C to autocheck autochk *.

    If you want to add more drives, the key should look like this: (by disabling the drives C and D)

    / k: D / k: C autocheck autochk *.

    If you want to restore all default, just replace the key with the default i.e.

    autocheck autochk *.
