"Impossible to copy the name of the file: access is denied." Make sure that the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use. »

I move the data because a Trojan horse snuck in.  I killed the Trojan horse by setting the drive as external and scanning.  However, I could no longer connect to the formerly infected drive. It hangs at the Welcome screen.  So I load XP Pro on another drive and set the old drive as external. I now see data, but get the "Access denied" message that will let me copy the data.

Or I have to be able to release the data to the new drive or access the old disk by booting to XP.  Now I can't do either.

I tried to get XP on the old drive, but the Trojan horse seems to have changed the password admin. I then tried to erase the password using a Linux boot disk and it showed the account unlocked, but I always block to the Welcome screen.

Ideas appreciated.  I can't move forward until I can get the data off. THX K.

Thanks for posting with us.  The article below describes taking possession of folders\files.  You may need to go through these steps, if malicious software has modified the permissions on your old drive.

  • "Impossible to copy the requested resource is already in use" error message when you try to move the file to the thumb drive.

    I'm going to try really hard to do this makes sense, but I don't know much about computers.  Bear with me.

    Brother gave me a computer.  A graphics Nvidia GeForce 9800 inside.  Because it restored the system settings, the drivers are missing.  Can not connect this computer to the internet.

    So, I went to the nvidia site and downloaded the necessary drivers on my OTHER computer, which is what I'm now on the right.  The download ends, and when I try to move the (drivers) file in the USB, I get this delicious "cannot copy xxxx that the requested resource is already in use".  It is not in use.  I can't even use it on this computer as its pilots for a graphics card that is not yet part of this computer.

    What should I do to make sure I put the file with the drivers on a USB key, on the port to the other computer.

    (by the way, this also occurs with a few random mp3s of the mine.  10 of the 12 tracks on a CD, for example, does copy on the USB no problem, but then two of them to come up with the error message, for no apparent reason.  Don't know if it's relevant)

    Try another USB key. That one is may be damaged or failing. In the meantime, to burn the drivers on a CD - R disc (not CD - RW) to take the target machine. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Original title: the scanner driver update problems.

    Problem: I am trying to install a driver for an Epson scanner update.  I get the error message: could not copy files.  Make sure that the target disk is not read-only.

    I'm running Windows XP Home edition.  Scanner is an Epson Perfection V500 Photo.

    What I did:

    • A release with the support of Epson.  They tell me that I have the admin rights.  However, I am the administrator and log on as administrator
    • I downloaded the epson driver update, which is an executable zip file.  I right-click on the file, select Run As..., opt to run it as an admin user, enter my password and select run.  The files are decompressed, but at some point in the installation, I get the message "couldn't cop files.  Make sure that the target disk is not read-only.  (Target is C:\)
    • Furthermore, I installed this driver successfully on my other computer that is running Windows XP Professional

    Hi Passport35,

    You can try the following steps and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    You can try running the fixit article and following cjheck, if it helps.

    Diagnose and solve the program installation and uninstallation problems automatically

    Method 2:

    If the previous step fails then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

    a. click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box and then click OK.

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

    Note: the scan may take a while, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows XP installation CD.

    Wait for the analysis of complete and then check if you can install the drivers.

    Hi JRCLNSIN100,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

    ·         What is the disk you use to reinstall?

    ·         Is this a recovery or reinstalling the disc you are using?

    ·         When exactly do you get this error message?

    ·         What is the edition of Windows Vista, you try to install?

    ·         How old is the drive that you are using?

    ·         How are you starting the installation process?

    After researching the error 0x8007000D code is essentially due to file corruption and a problem with the drive itself.

    First check if you have scratches or dust on the disc and clean the surface and try again.

    To check if the disk is wrong, you will need to copy the contents of the DVD to the hard drive and try to install using that.

    To perform a flat installation of Windows Vista, follow these steps.

    Note The hard disk must have at least 3 GB of free space on the disk for the Windows Vista installation files. The hard disk must have at least 15 GB of additional disk space to install Windows Vista. For more information about system requirements for Windows Vista, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/editions/SystemRequirements.mspx

    1. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc.
    2. Start Windows Explorer.
    3. In Windows Explorer, click to select the drive for the Windows Vista installation disc.
    4. On the Edit menu, click select all.
    5. On the Edit menu, click copy.
    6. Click to select the hard disk you want to contain the flat installation files.
    7. On the file menu, point to new, click the folder, type Windows Vista Setupand then press ENTER.
    8. Double-click the Windows Vista Setup program, and then click Paste on the Edit menu.
    9. Double-click Setup.exe, and then follow the instructions that appear.

    So far, I found all these shapes to be completely useless and a waste of time. I found out how to fix this and it looks like that many people would have put me the answer out there because nobody else will or knows it.

    -Start

    -Explorer window

    -C:\windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS

    And

    -C:\windows\system32\spool\DRIVERS

    -Right click on a folder at a time and select Properties, then on the Security tab and add the user you want to grant access to print and check that the 'Total control' box is checked. If the user name is already there, check the box "total control".

    -Note: Never simply put the group "Everyone" it as it will cause problems if you use a vulnerability scanner.

    It was on a Windows 7 operating system.

    Who should do this; Well it worked for me at least.

    Thanks for nothing, Microsoft and all the people here! ***

  • How can I make use of TC partitions and make sure that the file analysis is on the right partition?  I do not see the partitions that I have done in the Finder, but I can drag and drop the files in the folder 'Data' unique under Finder/Shared/TC.

    MacBook Air, OSX 10.10.3, 128 GB; 2 TB Time Capsule ME177LL/A.

    Final objective: use Time Capsule as a Time Machine for my MacBook Air and as a storage solution for large files that I don't want permanently on my MacBook Air.

    So far, I've implemented the TC and set up Time Machine on the TC.  I was able to create 2 partitions on the TC using disk utility then that TM was a backup and the disk was recognizable in disk utility.

    Under Finder/shared, I see the TimeCapsule 'airport', and when I click on it it is a file called "Data".  I was expecting to see my two partitions here.  Under 'Features' is a ' Zissou31 MacBook Air (3)"sparsebundle file and I can also create folders here and drag and drop files on the TC here.  I can see the partitions in disk utility, but how do I see/use the partitions I created in the Finder?

    I fear that this may not be set up correctly and I'm either losing on an entire partition I created or these files dragged/dropped may be at risk of overwriting of TimeMachine.  How can I make sure that the file analysis is on the appropriate partition?

    I disabled TimeMachine and go back to see if I could 'point' to one of the partitions, but the "Data" folder is the only thing that TimeMachine seen.  How do I point time Machine for one of the partitions?

    Thank you!

    In addition, in disk utility, I can see one of the partitions TC is related to the time Machine, indicated by the icon Time Machine green bottom left, but two partitions seem to fall under "Zissou31 of the MacBook Air (3) .sparsebundle.
