I can't get permission to access a file.

My Vista laptop has failed. I got a replacement to win 8 and was able to access a
account administrator protected by password on the old drive hard, but there is a
file of the admin account on a data partition which gives me "access denied" and
"you do not have permission" message. All the other files on the partition are
available.

I found the 'solutions' are on versions of windows prior to version 8. NO.
'edit' option displays the record in the security properties. Restart in Safe Mode,
a horribly complex procedure in Win 8, does not allow me access.

Someone you will suggest a way for me to get ownership of this data folder?

You can try taking membership of it?  The steps to do this are the same in Windows 8 as earlier versions.  See if this command is useful:

  • Cannot import Outlook pst file. How can I get permission to access the file?

  • Cannot get permission to access some files restored from a windows vista backup

    Hello. I just installed windows 7 on a new hard drive. I bought the upgrade to windows 7 Home premium and I had to install vista on the new hard drive first then windows 7.

    I have all my files backed up on an external hard drive and I used windows vista backup and restore to do.

    I have now restored my files on my new hard drive using windows 7 backup and restore.

    I see all my files and folders, but the thumbnails are missing and when I try to actually open a file, a message informs you that I don't have permission to access.

    I tried to click with the right button on the files and changing the security, property, sharing and options, all to nothing does not.

    I tried a few ways to restore my files too, but nothing works.

    If I save a newly downloaded or created file (for example, a photo that I found on the internet) in the same folders, there is no problem and I can access, so the problem isn't that I don't have access to the records.

    Another weird thing is that I can access some of the restored files, but no more than them. I can't think what it is on those I can access that should make them different from those that I can't.

    So far it does not my simple PC! Can anyone help please?

    I should add that I am the ONLY user of this computer, and it is not on a network. Previously, it was the same when I am running windows vista. This is why I'm the only person who should be able to access the files.

    Same problem here after restoring a file backup of Windows Vista to a new installation of Windows 7. This solution worked for me: go to the command prompt, change the drive or a directory, you have problems with and type this:

    ICACLS * / reset/t

    Edit: You need to start the command prompt as an administrator to do. Find it in the start menu, then right click and choose 'run as administrator '. Then use the command as shown above.

    My old laptop has ceased to exist. How can I get permission to install operating system on a new PC? I provided with the old laptop installation discs, but permission to install them on the new PC is denied.

    If the installation provided with your Windows computer discs was preinstalled on the computer - it is OEM and cannot be moved. You can move Windows to another computer if you buy the retail version.

    You can move the windows on a new computer

    If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on one computer at a time (and if it's a version upgrade the new Windows computer must have its own license of qualification). The previous Windows installation on your old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer.

    If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

  • How can I get a copy of the file &#60; windows &#62; \system32\hal.dll.

    How can I get a copy of the file \system32\hal.dll.   ?

    There are 7 possibilities for the hal.dll file and the installation of XP takes the right one to match your hardware during the installation of XP.

    That's why replace a bit difficult because you need to know which of the 7 on the XP installation CD you need.  You can guess and try things and you might get lucky, or you can try them all.  That would take some time and probably be frustrating and you would need a CD bootable XP installation genuine to start the trials and errors.

    Replace the hal.dll file becomes even more difficult, because most of the people do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, even if they wanted to replace the hal.dll file.  If you really want just a copy, you can understand that one you need or just copy the one you already have.

    Unfortunately, the Microsoft Answers don't ask for enough information when a new question is asked to provide you with a good idea for your problem not specified.  For all that is your problem not specified, you will need to provide additional information.

    If you see the message that your hal.dll file is missing or damaged, the chances are that the file is not really missing or damaged... Windows XP just can not find the file.

    Fix hal.dll "missing or corrupted" message is usually not too demanding and has nothing to do with the replacement of the file.

    Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    Premiere Pro, cannot find the files in cache on Mac, not in the common, clean folder does not work, I know there are concerts of them on my drive.  How can I get rid of them?

    I started a first project I had worked before using an external hard drive but I forgot to plug in the external drive.  In a few minutes, the first loaded 5 GB of cache on my macbook pro drive OSX 10.8.6 files.  I have tried the following to free space:

    Trying to 'clean up' the file cache before the switch to the external drive - it only removed a small amount of 5 concerts created

    Tried to find files in the folder Application Support/Adobe/common - no hidden files not found

    Tried searching the Web for answers - no new info

    Tried searching my drive for files - can not find them

    Tried to restart the MacBook and the first with and without the external hard drive - no luck

    Now what?

    Post edited by: Kevin Monahan

    Reason: Please do a shorter, more concise title next time. Thank you.

    First of all, exactly what first version are you running? Not just body CC or CC2014 but the version number shown in the about box.

    I don't understand if you tell first cannot find cache files or you are unable to find them.

    I think that you are referring to the own button in the Media tab of the Preferences dialog box, which is also where you set the path to the cache files.
