  * Original title: e/s problem

  I am not able to access my hard disk.windows that says: -.

If another hard drive has its defining together correctly pin code, a user is perhaps not able to access the data, and he will receive a message that the drive are not available. Cables come off inside the case of the computer also cause a not accessible i/o error. The user can correct this problem by opening the case and attach the data cables for each drive safely at the back of each drive and the motherboard.

• Windows Explorer stops working when I try to access a drive mapped on my FTP server on the internet.

  I just changed web pages (using Crimson editor) and instead to save the files on my hard drive I just left open and "hibernating" my machine overnight.  After 3 days of having an FTP connection (opened by a mapped drive) setting on my computer hibernation, I accidentally hit Shut Down, and I lost all my work, ARGH! (Yes, I know, I should have better). In any case, now when I open my computer and click on the FTP of the mapped drives, I get the message that Windows Explorer has stopped working.  And if I go to Internet explorer (7), enter ' ftp://mysite.com it brings me to a root FTP page where it says: to view this FTP site in Windows Explorer, click Page, and then click Open the FTP Site in Windows Explorer. " I do that and it brings up a window of the Explorer windows momentarily and then I get the message. Explorer Windows has stopped working.  Any ideas? I hope I don't have to reinstall the operating system.  I did a system restore to 4 days ago. It did not work.

  Hi SewNSew,

  To refine the question, I suggest you try the following steps:

  Step 1: Set the clean boot computer and try to access the drive

  Follow step 1 in the link below,

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

  After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software

  Important: n ' forget not the computer to start normal follow step 7 in the link

  Step 2: The utility of Auditor (SFC) for the file system allows administrators to perform an analysis of all protected resources to make sure they are the correct version. Whether SFC should find all incorrect versions in one of these protected resources, SFC will be replaced by the correct versions.

  You can still run a SFC scan on the windows vista computer. To run a scan suite SFC as follows:

  (a) click Start and in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

  (b) at the command prompt type sfc/scannow , and then press ENTER.

  If the problem persists,

  Step 3: Disable control (UAC) user account and make sure to do this, follow these steps:

  1. open user accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety (or by clicking on user accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking user accounts.

  2. click on Turn User Account Control on or off.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  3. Select the use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer, clear the check box to disable UAC, and then click OK.

  Important: It is not recommended to disable UAC; We just try to limit the question. Please, enable UAC after the test is performed. See the link below:

  My hard drives of computers were completely destroyed by overhead sprinklers during a fire. Installing Windows said "we have found no disk drives. How can I get a storage driver? I can't go online until I have install windows. Thank you

  Hello

  So it does not start from the disc, but when you get to the part where it asks me to choose a disk to install Windows, you do not see something here, is that correct? Go to the menu of the Bios (tap button "F2" at startup to access the Bios), then Advanced and check what you show for the SATA/operating Mode option.

• Set security on 'Decline' for users of Windows/object, cannot access a drive C and d. 'Access denied'-[[problem solved]]

  last updated *.

  Problem is SOLVED. Read my response at the bottom of this thread.

  * Update *.

  Solved for drive D as now but it is still not accessible. Help the Microsoft Experts kindly. By clicking on the C drive, I got "access denied."

  Hello world.

  I need help. I have windows 8, 64 bit computer laptop.  This system has 3 active accounts now. Account_One that is my administrator account. I have another

  "limited account" created on my machine Account_two and the third one is "Guest account" account that is enabled.

  Before you lend my cell phone to a friend in Account_two login I tried to restrict access to drives C and D of this Account_two which is a limited account.

  While I was doing it, I put approval for object 'Windows users' 'decline '. This object is usually the last in the list of objects on the window that appears when we sail to click with the right button on C drive > properties > Security. I realized that instead of

  for Account_two I did for Windows users / which means maybe Windows/users / * which covered my admin account too and that too on the drive root C.

  When I connected to my Account_one account that is an administrator account, I'm not able to access drive C and D where I put the authorization of 'decline' for all the attributes as shown above to object/Windows users.

  One of the folder that was on my desktop allows me to go inside the d drive as I kept this shortcut for easy access, but there is no way to navigate from c or d ' training on domestic issues. Not just me even Windows can not access important services such as 'Restore' and many others built in utilities of windows which simply will not charge blinking message windows has no access to it!

  Please help how to access drive C and D for my administrator account. I am connected to this account now, but can not access drive C or d. when I go to the Security tab in the drive C and D right click Properties I get the screen it as: you must have read allowed to view the properties of this object. Click Advanced to continue. When I click on advanced, I see the "advanced security settings for local disk (d :)), where the owner is presented as: unable to display current owner."  Exchange (Link) when I click on 'Change' I get the error message: cannot open access control editor access is denied.

  So I put the Windows/user object to "deny" on the tab security for all read and writes, and I'm not able to access anything whatsoever since my administrator account.

  Please let me know how to change access to 'allow' for c and D drive for the object user/Windows. From now there is no way to access this object by result cannot set permissions there.

  Help, please.

  Thank you very much.

  Thank you very much.

  Problem is SOLVED!

  After three days of effort I was finally able to fix this mess.  It took me three days after going through many similar positions as mine but no final answer or fix, so I kept

  through the 'access denied' messages on this community and won an idea on what

  had happened and what needed to be done. What I found that there are several hundred people

  like me, who have faced this problem and there is no final official help file to explain how to fix

  He IS but he MICROSFT official 'support chat' where they ask for $149 to connect remotely and difficulty

  the problem!

  in any case, here's how I solved my problem for people who need to fix it in case it happens to you.

  How the problem began; Read my original post above on top. In short, I set the security setting to refuse to

  Users of Windows/under the Security tab that comes after a right click drive then properties > Security. I put it and lost access to all readers!

  How I fixed it.

  Thanks to some nice people on this page of the community who have posted knowledge. A man had displayed the creation of "Administrator" "guest account of orders that I did now, I could sign out of my account and get on the 'Administrator' account with admin privileges so that I could fix it the mess on my account problem. So if you have similar problem first create the command prompt administrator account. However this only solved the problem partially as I could reverse the problem only on drive D and not on the drive C. I was able to go to security settings and set the properties 'allow' for drive D, but I was not able to read the page of security for drive C as he said I haven't read privilege he even newly created admin account.

  Now if I needed the "Access denied" problem on drive C. I continued through messages of so many "access denied" here and discovered about utilities like SFC, TAKEOWN, ICACLS, but none of them worked from the command prompt I always said "access denied."

  Thing was to take the mouse to the right of the screen and get this blue bar, then settings > change PC settings > General - Advanced startup-press the button -. Then he made up the blue screen, where you have the option called troubleshooting... go there and then advanced setting > look to start Windows from the command prompt. Do you have a command prompt with C:\windows\system32 on the command prompt. Here, my order was accepted both takeown and icacls. If I shot a command there: TAKEOWN /F /R C:\/a and I also tried icacls to give permissions after checking using the syntax on the command line itself. All commands ran successfully this time, but be careful what you give in the command. It's under a lien high built based on the account of Windows 8.

  Takeown command executed successfully and it solved my problem. I leave the command prompt then connected to this administrator account. This time, I could go to the Security tab of the C drive and set allow it for users here. Still on some issues, I was getting no access permission, but I was asked to change it to allow me to access to and I was able to do.

  For access to the C drive on the Security tab, you need to go to the 'Advanced' and change the owner too.

  in any case I'm happy this is finally resolved even if I wasn't getting much help responds I used the previous positions of other threads to solve.

  Since he was not an official help of WINDOWS or MICROSOFT on that page, I'm sure I did the security setting while making the methods of trial and error on my machine which may not be the right setting from the point of view of security in general, so I'll try to reset the default state machine as my problem is now solved.

  So I fixed it. If you need help let me know and I'll try to help you, and I do not charge $149 or $99.  ;-)
