I tried this question on several USB key, but the result was the same.
anydody can help me?

Hi Saleh2506,

You can try and remove the disc, remove the write protection (by reversing a tab on the disk), and then try again.

If you do not have the valve on the USB, try the following steps to resolve the problem:

1. Click Start , type regedit.exe and press ENTER.

2. navigate to the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrrentControlSet\Control

 

3. control with the right mouse button and select new and key.

4. call it as StorageDevicePolicies.

5. click on StorageDevicePolicies and on the right pan right click and select new > DWORD and name it as WriteProtect.

6 double-click it and set its value to 0.

This will disable the write protection on USB/flash drives.

Restart your computer and check to see if that fixes the problem.

Important The above 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.

    You may not have the correct permissions or own the medium on which you try to perform the backup.  Here are some instructions on how to give you the right permissions and Take Ownership (if necessary).

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder/drive, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/. In this csse make sure grant you full permissions and check also advanced special permissions (including the inherited permissions) which can substitute for this entry to limit your rights by assembling as well.

    To resolve this problem with folders or drive, take possession of the records or the reader (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    No, it is not AFAIK. You can try back LR 6 and then buy the subscription of photographers. You will need to contact Adobe about this.

    Note that this is not Adobe. This is a user to user forum.

  • How to validate windows after the disk crash hard with or without pay for a new disk

    Hello

    Thanks for any help. My hard drive crashed after it overheated. Each attempt I used to reinstall or use a backup version failed because my hard drive could not be found. This disc that came with my computer was so useless. I had to go to a computer repair shop & buy a new CD with Windows 7 on their part. Now, when asked to reactivate it, it says my code is not genuine and is not even from America. I read in another message that a person would buy a CD to their computer manufacturer. I do now? I have the dang code for my original windows installation. It is right on the side of my computer Tower, but obviously it does not work as disc of the repair shop has a different code.

    Now that my computer is totally fixed, is it possible for me to try and reinstall my windows with the repair disc supplied with my computer when I bought it? Alternatively, I can reset my computer to its factory installation? Are these files on my computer since I have used another drive? I'm guessing that probably not. Thanks again for any help.

    Statistics of the computer:
