If you can log in as any user with administrator privileges, you should be able to 'ownership '.

The quick check for administrative privileges is to right-click on 'start '.  If "Open All Users", it's one of the options displayed in the window, so you don't have administrator privileges.

  • How to make a temporary directory on my HARD drive to save the downloaded file?

    I need to download the updated printer drivers and the first thing I need to do is to create a temporary directory on my hard drive to save the downloaded files.  My operating system is Windows 7, the 64-bit version.  My printer is a brother model MFC - 240 c.  (That copy, fax, scan and has Photo Capture).

    I had a stroke and lost my short-term memory and can not remember what whether computers or at least, not a lot.  If you know how to do this, be very specific with your answer as I print it and use it as a guide I'll follow to the letter.  I'm sure that it's the easiest thing, but I just can't remember how to do it.

    Thanks for your help - it is much appreciated.

    You shouldn't really need to create a temporary directory - especially for the Brother printer drivers.  You can download it at any place that you can easily find (like the office).  Then double-click it to run it (run) on it and let it install.

    He then expand some additional files and then ask you to accept a license agreement (I suggest "Yes" If you want to go further):

    In your case... choose 'Standard' and click Next and continue in this way until it is installed.  Then (once Setup is complete and closed) you can restart the computer (first and foremost) and then delete the original file you downloaded (MFC-240 c-inst-win7 - A2.EXE) on your desktop (or downloads, etc.)

  • Old access portable hard drive which had the windows user password

    My old laptop's motherboard is fried.  I took the hard drive and put in the case of the speaker.  want to access the files on the old hard drive but it was password protected.  How can I get rid of this password or be able to access the hard disk?  Thank you

    You can't install a program on the old hard drive to the new hard drive and expect it to work. You must install the program on your new computer and open the data from there. It does not matter that the old installation of Windows has been protected by. It also does not matter if you have UAC enabled for the old installation of Windows or not. The only place it's important is the new installation of Windows which you are working. If you still do not have the data , you need - not the programs - within your new installation of Windows, start the new computer with a Live Linux CD (Knoppix or Ubuntu) and copy the data to your new hard drive. Linux will not honor Windows permissions.

    If you still cannot understand this, consider the computer and the drive to a local professional reputable (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place). They will be able to get your data easily.

  • new hard drive recognized in the device mgr but not my computer how to format?

    bought a new hard drive for additional storage running on xp home SP3.  It is recognized in the bios and in Device Manager but not on 'my computer '.  How can I access it to get in shape or to install the NTFS file system on it (if the formatting is incorrect terminology) then it will become usable as a storage device.

    You use the disk for this purpose.

    Start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK

    Right-click on the unallocated space, choose New Partition and use the wizard to (a) define a drive letter, (b) the size of the partition and (c) format the newly created partition.

  • Network with Windows Home Server hard drive. With the new files that wouldn't be no automatic update.

    Installed Windows Home Server 2011 on my files allocatted to share on my wireless network, including a hard drive 2 TB external. Worked well able to watch movies, listen to music etc... As several files have been saved on the external hard drive (800G now) he would not recognize the new content (files or movies) previous content is ok, but nothing new would not reconise. Unplug the hard drive from the PC, pluged into the TV via USB and all the files are there, old and new.

  • Hard Drive Setup for the source files, media Cache, project, Render, etc...

    I am working to put in place the following readers:

    C: SSD for the OS and programs

    D: RAID 0 (three SATA II F3) for projects from first, where I did too, and still

    E: RAID 0 (two SATA III WD black Caviar) for the source files, hiding from media and preview the files (if I can get the controllers/SATA III RAID Marvel that is)

    External HD USB 3.0 for backup projects

    Should I make this different?

    Anyone think it would be better to use the SDD discs instead of hard drives? I have

    Please confirm that it is correct:

    C: SSD for:

    • Operating system and programs
    • No pagefile

    D: RAID 0 (three SATA II F3) for:

    • No pagefile
    • First project
    • Source files of project first (suggestion by evil)
    • Project yet

    E: RAID 0 (two SATA III WD black Caviar) for:

    • Swap file (install first, 12 GB since I have 24GO RAM)
    • Media cache
    • Preview files
    • Rendering of the project (e.g., DVD MPEG2, H.264, etc.) / source files of project yet

    Fix.

    When I finish my PR projects, I use DVD - HQ Bitrate & GOP calculator to determine the parameters of flow and export to DVD MPEG2 or H.264 - BR according to my delivery format, but also because I always export sound instead of AC3 5.1 2.0. I only make my chapter points in Encore and not worth trying it in the PR, due to the limitations of long GOP. Again these same limitations, but I prefer to do it in yet, because then I can easily adapt and make the poster frames for my taste.

    In my workflow, so I have my source media and the project on the D drive and export the MPEG2-DVD, or H.264 - BR in drive E. open the project again from my D drive, and then import the assets on my E drive.

    Reminder I export the image file and then use Nero to make multiple copies, because with Nero I can use multiple burners, creating 50 copies goes two times faster with two burners or even 4 times faster with four burners.

  • Hard drive stuck in the RAW file system.

    So I had a problem with my slave drive being stuck in the RAW file system when I formatted my master drive. So I disconnected the slave drive and formatted the master once again and once all updates have been installed, I plugged the slave back in. He's still stuck in RAW format. I tried to use Norton Partition Magic, and he reads a BAD. Is it possible to change the same RAW to NTFS or FAT32 file system?

    The indication that the file system is RAW usually means that there is a corruption of the file system structures. How to go on recovery depends on the value you are asking about the data on the disk. If your budget of time or money is over and the data of low value or backed up.

    Go to start all programs accessories and click on the command line. When the window opens, type

    cmd
    CHKDSK D: /f /r Note: D: is the letter of the drive to check. Replace the appropriate letter.

    When the process is finished, type
    Output

    Go to my computer to see if it was repaired enough to at least get a list of directories.

    If no joy, go to the web site of the manufacturer of the disk. Looking for a utility to check the disk and make a low-level format ". Follow their instructions. After that, do a format to NTFS.

    If this fails, it is likely that the disc will need to be replaced.

    Remember, there are tools (the disk sector editors, etc.) that you can use to read and sometimes at least recover some data. It requires appropriate knowledge and considerable patience. Alternatively, there are services - quite expensive data recovery.

  • I can no longer access my hard drive... it seems to me refused me permission...

    I tried to block other users on my laptop to open my C drive and I now can't open myself.  When I go to the user accounts, none of the buttons respond to my request.

    When I try to open my hard drive, that's what I see... access denied (C :).  I am the administrator.

    Hello, shamrock704

    Can you access the computer at all?
    You can try restoring the system running: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-is-System-Restore

    If necessary, you can try booting the installation CD of Windows Vista and the installation screen, click on repair, then perform a restore of the system from there also.

  • Access denied - harder than usual

    Hello.

    I have an external HARD drive, I'm trying to get at, but access is denied. Yes, I know about solutions like these:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/how-do-i-open-a-file-if-i-get-an-access-denied-message

    Is not the case. If I try to change the permissions, it tells me that access is always denied. If I try to change the property, it tells me that access is always denied. In both cases, the refusal prevents me from changing these things successfully.

    At first, I thought it was just the HARD drive, but then I noticed that he dislikes any player besides C, I can say.

    In this case for and drive external HARD, a flash drive, optical readers, even when I try to mount an iso.

    Also, I apparently failed to start my computer in SafeMode because of some jazz for BitLocker. This is my desk that I use at home. Don't think they'll give me that key.

    External and flash drive two works fine on my Chromebook and on my Windows 7 laptop.

    I would like to know if there is any other information, I can provide. This problem is driving me crazy and everywhere I look online, these simple solutions I linked at the top are all I can find. If anyone can fix this, I'll be very grateful. Thank you!

    (Moved from files, folders)

    Hey Joe,

    Please contact Microsoft Community. I've surely you will help solve this problem.

    It seems that the administrator has blocked you to change the settings. Because this is a work computer and also have BitLocker, I suggest you to check with your system administrator if you have permission to change these settings and use an external HARD drive.

    Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with an up-to-date report of the issue so that we can help you further.

  • Cannot access old hard drive

    I'm trying to access a hard drive using Windows XP on a portable computer that uses Windows 7. I continue to turn in "inaccessible" and "you don't have the required permissions.

I searched and checked other forums who have discussions on this subject and the answers do not help. I'm looking for a free way access.

  • I am trying to access my hard drive for some records and my file photo in windows vista after it has been formatted.

    My laptop after runing battery accident, I cannot restore and re-installed was the only solution, I thought I had backup all files, but my photo files is missing and an other files that were in my office. I need assistance to access the hard drive if possible, I said it can be done.

    If you formatted the drive and reinstalled Vista, data is almost certainly lost to conventional methods of recovery...

    You can try this program:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/Recuva.html

    Recuva is a file undeletion tool that allows you to analyze your hard drives or media cards for files that have been deleted or formatted. It presents you a list of files that have been found, as well as an assessment of their potential for recovery, a preview option, and a hex viewer to inspect the content. You can limit your search to files of a certain type (e.g. images, audio etc.) and choose between a quick and a thorough analysis approach. The program also includes a secure deletion option that allows you to permanently delete files that were found while parsing, to avoid any future recoveries.

    If the above does not resolve the problem, you will need to contact the Date recovery Experts.
    Be warned: they are very $$$
