Hello

1. do you have backup data normally or by using the Windows backup feature?

2. are you able to restore the data in your computer? If this is not the case, what happens exactly?

Try the steps in this article.

You can also try to save the data from the external drive on another computer and check if you are able to access the data.

I hope this helps.

  • I encrypted my files on a hard drive external and lost

    I encrypted my files on an external hard drive and I've reformatted my hard drive on my widows xp, now I get access denied when I try to access the files on my external hard drive. It can be recovered? I don't change anything on the external hard drive would have key codes have been stored on the actual computer or have it stored on the external hard disk where I have encrypted files? I change my username and password when I reinstalled xp.

    The "key" to your files encrypted using the Encrypting File System (EFS) is stored in your certificate store, which is part of your profile on the Windows system drive.  The certificate itself is encrypted to your Secure ID (SID, which is a unique number created with your username) and your password in the user and who-knows-what else.  Whenever you use any encryption system, if you can't answer the question "Where is my stored encryption key", then you are begging to lose all your information.  When you destroyed your old system, you wiped out the encryption with her key.  Unless you can recover your system from a backup or "best practices" followed by backing up your certificate, I'm afraid that you have lost access to all your data.  Microsoft has tried very hard and succeeds in making transparent encryption keys - at the expense of people in your situation.

    The following is required reading for anyone using EFS and he explains everything very well.  Pay special attention to the paragraph entitled 'Why you should back up your certificates' to the end.

    "Best practices for EFS file system.
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/223316 >

    For the same reasons you have at the moment, I chose to go with the "Truecrypt" freeware as an instead of the EFS encryption solution.  The keys are in my head like a password and I have not lost all data encrypted in 10 years despite having Windows terminally to the crash from under me several times.

  • How the value catalog new internal hard drive more and then delete the files from the smallest

    I just got a new 1 TB internal on cloned hard drive 500 GB internal hard drive installed on my PC, then the smaller original. The new 1 TB is now Local Dick C and the smallest 500 GB by C has been changed and is now Local Disk F. PSE11 runs from the new C and all my photos are on C and F, but the catalog showed up at F. I want to delete all the old files on F for free space because they are all cloned to the new 1 TB C, so I want to catalog PSE11 only point to the pictures on C I tried to create a new catalog and import my pictures from C. The images arrive and look tuned to C but when I close PSE11 and then reopen this new catalogue, the path of the image shows F, as does the original catalogue. So, now, I have two catalogs seem to point to F but I want: 1) have a single catalog pointing to C; (2) deleting catalogs pointing to F; (3) then reformat f: so I have a 500 GB clean old hard drive for future expansion. Peuvent some please help?

    The problem is related to the cloning process.

    The hard drive seems to be connected to a SATA port that is set to AHCI mode.  This is the default mode "normal" disks hard SATA would normally use.  However, XP should have additional drivers installed in order to use this mode.  Therefore, it is listed as a 'Removable' hard drive in the icon 'remove hardware safely '.  It seems to be normal.  Windows will not allow you to 'remove' the Windows startup disk.

  • Apple TV, a hard drive external and HDTV (the trio)

    Hello

    Please provide some assistance.

    I have a mid 2015 iMac 27-inch 5K retina and all my Amazon.com bought music CD and DVD installed on my external hard drive. The hard drive and iMac are connected. In my living room is a TV full HD (1080 p). I think buying the 4th generation Apple TV that comes with a USB - C (service & support) and HDMI ports. On my iMac, use the DVD player to play my DVD and iTunes to play my CD of music on the Apple web site, they say you have to get an HDMI cable.

    Q1. Is the HDMI cable for the Apple TV to HDTV or Apple TV for iMac.

    On the apple web site, they show the video formats such as H.264 / MPEG-4 (for example .mp4 and .mov file formats). My Amazon.com bought show DVD "vidéo DVD" printed on the disc. If I use airplay mirroring to display the screen of the DVD drive on the iMac...

    Q2. The DVD player and the movie will appear on HDTV?

    Q3. Do I need iTunes to play my music CD and ITunes will appear on HDTV?

    Q4. Can I avoid iTunes and play my music CD by selecting the song which is shown in Adobe bridge (part of the Adobe Photoshop package)? When I choose a song in Adobe, iTunes pops up and plays the song. In any case avoid iTunes.

    If there will be problems, and as an alternative, it would be better to do the following...

    To buy a bolt of lightning to the HDMI adapter and a cable HDMI (male/male) covering 30 to 50 feet (bypassing the baseboard) to connect the TV to the iMac. Use system preferences to the screen of the iMac on the HDTV in mirror and watch iTunes and DVD respectively. Are there problems using this road?

    concerning

    Robin

    Q1. Is the HDMI cable for the Apple TV to HDTV or Apple TV for iMac.

    Between the Apple TV and TV, the only link with the Mac is on a network.

    Q2. The DVD player and the movie will appear on HDTV?

    No block of Apple of his application of AirPlay DVD video (other DVD players are not blocked)

    Q3. Do I need iTunes to play my music CD and ITunes will appear on HDTV?

    The Apple TV 4 you will provide alternatives to iTunes, but yes, you can play your iTunes music via sharing of home on Apple TV

    Q4. Can I avoid iTunes and play my music CD by selecting the song which is shown in Adobe bridge (part of the Adobe Photoshop package)? When I choose a song in Adobe, iTunes pops up and plays the song. In any case avoid iTunes.

    I don't think not adobe bridge is available for the Apple TV, as I mentioned previously, there are alternatives, but I don't know why you want to use them, the alternatives are just messy IMO.

  • "Access denied" error on all hard drives external and MagicDisc

    I just purchased a Lenovo B575 running Win7 Home Premium and I'm very frustrated that I can't access my external hard drives, which are essential to my work. I get the error "Access denied" the normal start, but I'm able to use disks normally in safe mode. Here are some of the things I've tried:

    -Change the permissions/ownership after normal startup: does not work. Windows doesn't let me change the permissions or ownership, even if my single user account is set to administrator.

    -Change the permissions and ownership in safe mode: I found a solution online saying "Everyone" to add to the list of users in the Security tab. It works * temporary *, until I unplug my hard drives. When I plug back them, it's back to square one.

    -Install MagicDisc to access some files I saved in the form of ISO images: MagicDisc seems to work very well and load images normally... but also, I get the error "Access denied" when you try to open the drive in Explorer.

    -USB flash drives: same problem.

    -Other erratic behavior: one of my USB drives will not stop read/write as soon as I plug. I don't know if it's the McAfee antivirus analysis each of millions of files that I have on this subject, or if something else is happening.

    I had NONE of these issues on my old Acer and HP to my friend has no problem loading my readers. If I can't find a solution soon, I'll be forced to return this laptop that I need to access my work files.

    I lost my patience all yesterday and not the OneKey Rescue, restore my system to nine. Then, I named my new laptop of the same name that my old (relevant at all?). He immediately provoked a hard drive to work. The 750 GB it does not work yet, but I changed the permissions AND ownership to "Everyone" in SafeMode... now it seems to work correctly. No problem with other removable disks.

    That they are related or not, I have not initialized or changed some settings on the programs supplied with the laptop. My guess is that port Locker has something to do with the question I had - even if it has been disabled before. I'm uninstalling as I did not need. BioExcess, face recognition... everything goes down the drain. These should be optional, not enabled by default. Too many background services! I'm disabling a bunch of unnecessary stuff.

  • My hard drive crashed and I need to reinstall XP PRO but my computer does not start on the CD

    I went into the BIOS and changed to start from the windows xp pro disk but no matter if I put in the pro or the original disk, I get 'disk read error.  CTRL Alt Del to restart.  BIOS can see how much space is left on the hard drive, so it's there, and BIOS knows I want to boot from the installation disc, but it doesn't.  What I am doing wrong?

    Hi Jade4142.Did try you go to BIOS and set it to the default settings and put the disc in, and then restart. There are many variables to a disc is loading. It could be the Platinum cd/dvd is defective, the disc is dirty, scratched or any black disc market. It you load on the HARD drive that crashed? If so, it could be that the HARD drive is infected? If this is a new HARD disk, you must leave the disconnected HARD drive, start the computer that lights up and looking for a hard drive. In this way the motherboard works independent of the HARD drive. The motherboard doesn't have a HARD drive to boot. Once you start without a HARD disk he won't say you no HARD drive or o/s found. Stop it. Connect the HARD drive for the sake of things a NEW HARD drive. Then start the unit go to BIOS and set to boot from the cd/dvd and then save and reboot. If the disc is genuine, and it's a new HARD drive, it should load without problems. He must ensure that the cd/dvd is above the machine to choose this path.click top and press the sign on your keyboard + and you'll see it move to the top of the list.

    Hello

    There are two options available.

    1. you can order a set of replacement of the recovery media using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office). They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2. download the file to Image of Windows 8 on the following link - Note that this Image file is subject to a ceiling of download, you may need to try over a period of a few hours before the download starts correctly.

    https://docs.Google.com/file/d/0B0W9PBigPy94aVJWSndyTFNFMzg/edit?PLI=1

    Use an app like ImgBurn (Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.

    If you instead create a flashdrive bootable for this Image, try the free app below.

  • Confused about hard drives external and ExpressCache 1.3.0 - Important.

    Hi Slotmosta, George and GLS,

    I'm a little confused...

    I thought that 1.3.0 is supposeed to defragment only SATA disks (this should be an option!)?

    I thought that the USB devices must eject normally - wasn't this problem?

    When comes out the next ExpressCache software and * that * he will really be in trouble?

    Kindly let me know.

    After a hard drive crash and recover most of my files on an external hard drive which eventually became my only internal, but because I live on an island in South America and there's hardly anyone on the island I live who can help other that a friend, I took a trip to Miami to visit the genius bar and they did a new install of Capitan which I don't really like by the way.  In any case, I though I had lost all my iPhoto library, but I managed to find my photos. Only now I have two libraries... the iPhoto with images from my Photos on Capitan and 8 years.  Is it possible to consolidate them in a library?  And can I still use RAW to be able to edit photos? aIso, y at - it a tutorial for the Photos?

  • HP Pavilion Notebook Hard drive question and OS reinstall

    I have a HP Pavilion dv4-2155dx Entertainment Notebook PC, series: CND0053PFN.

    I recently received an error message of the INTELLIGENT notification that a failure of the hard drive was imminent (I also had a flat battery as well, thank YOU HP!). I backed up my files to an external hard drive to COMPUSA, bought a new hard drive and installed. I inserted one of my computer come with recovery disks (HP or Best Buy made so I can't make new ones if I wanted to). After a minute or two of hearing the reader has read that I received an error "No Bootable disc - insert boot disk and press any key." Tried several times more. Reorganize the BIOS settings to make the drive to read first, no help.

    I then came here, looked at a few other discussions. They were no help. (this is a as http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-e-g/no-bootable-Device-Insert-Boot-Disk-and-... I watched)

    I tried most of the things on this page, including download of the boot disk utility, but even after the creation of this disc, I still get the "No Bootable disc - insert the startup disk, and then press any key" error. I then put the old hard drive new, and played music CDs to ensure that my drive was reading. It did not work properly. He also burned a disc as well so I think it's OK.

    I tried to make an iso image to the new disk plugged hard upward with a USB connection and this is where I met another problem. My laptop said that there are only 98 GB available on the new drive connected by USB. It is a 250 GB drive.

    What can I do to get just my copy of Windows on the new drive, so I can use my laptop without fear of a hard drive failure in the middle of a test for the College or something like that?

    Thank you.

    Hello:

    I can't help with the problem of recovery disk, but if you can read the product key 25 character Microsoft Windows on the bottom of your PC, you can do your own installation of W7 (DVD or a flashdrive bootable) media.

    Here's how:

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  • I need to back up an entire hard drive, XP and all

    I replaced a strong record for my neighbor and found myself in a strange position. I need to back up the entire hard drive, so I can replace it with a larger, but cannot start on this disc (when its in my computer) because of a BSOD. I can start in my regular reader (the one I normally use in my computer) and browse the disk I'm trying to backup with no problems. I tried to use Norton Ghost, but when I try to boot from the new drive, I get an error and cannot continue. That I can use that backs up the entire disk, including Windows XP and all the files and allow me to boot from it?

    4ndyC2D,
    Microsoft didn't offer not any type of disc for XP Imaging tool.  At this point, you will need to use a 3rd party program to accomplish the task.
