• No access to an external hard drive

  So I plugged my external hard drive in my macbook to move some files on it but it says "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer." I clicked on initialize and he said: the hard drive is uninitalised and Mont and partition are grayed out. I ran the option of first aid, but he only said: the operation completed successfully. I am aware of that my external hard drive works because it is blue is lit and I used it a few days ago and it worked fine. I also plugged into another usb key I have and it works perfectly.

  Is there anyway for me to access my files on the external hard drive? I really don't want to lose my photos and files!

  The external hard drive is a tough drive 320 freecom.

  the light means power can get to the case, not the drive past any integrity checking. If the drive is older it may break or it could have been failure, or requires 3rd party software to allow full access, if it is NTFS formatted for windows and you use it on a mac.

  If you do not backup your data may be missing. If you start the boot disk process, you have already started to remove the files and more you try using that drive less whatever it is (if any) can be recovered.

  Freecom offers guarantees of 3 years on their mechanical hard drives but offers no guarantee with recovery of lost data (no company only)

  http://www.Freecom.com/warranty

  If your player is longer than 3 years its not rare that its failure and should be replaced with a new unit.

  In the meantime, you can try a 3rd party solution such as Disk Warrior or rescue for Mac to see if something can be saved, but still no service company forensic or data will always claim that they can do it with any degree of certainty to recover your data.

• Access to an external hard drive

  Hi, I hope someone can help me understand this cause I'm running out of things to check.  I'm under Fusion Version 3.1.1 on a Macbook Pro with OS X Version 10.6.4.  I have a computer virtual running Windows XP PRO SP2 Build 2600.  I'm trying to connect a USB hard drive (Western Digital My Book Mirror Edition) external on the virtual computer.  When I connect the external hard drive, the virtual machine is able to recognize the drive as a USB device and connects to him.  I am able to go through the file structure and to read the data in the virtual machine.  But when I try to write to the disk of the virtual machine, all I get is a message "error copying file or folder.  The window basically says "cannot copy XYZ: access denied."  Make sure that the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use. "I made sure all the files I'm trying to copy are not open.  I also checked the write to the target folder permissions and it seems to be in writing.  The hard drive is formatted in NTFS and there are hundreds of GB free.  Thanks for your time!

  What you describe resembles Windows ownership / permission settings do not allow to write.  Did you check the ownership / permissions for the root of the drive down to the folder that you want to write? Is your current user explicitly listed on the Security tab, or at least a group of your username is a member with Scripture, or all permissions?

  I don't think it of a matter of the merger itself, seems to be more a question of windows.

• When I deleted a picture of my MacBook, why it also remove the external hard drive?

  So I tried to help my wife to free up space on his MacBook Pro by putting all of his photos on an external hard drive. After iPhoto slide the hard disk and wait 40 minutes so that he could transfer, I wanted to make sure it worked. I ejected the disk and then plugged in. Of course, all iphotos were still there. Just to be sure, I deleted one file in the folder on the computer's iphoto. I went to my shock and horror, the external hard drive, that it has been deleted it too! How is that possible? I've been scouring the Internet trying to retrieve this file with no luck. It was not in the trash. There is a tab "recently deleted". Time machine was not turned on. iCloud shows nothing. I can't download any software, because the computer is completely filled. How is it possible that by deleting this folder on the computer he did also leave the hard drive? AND it has not been saved in the trash? I have used PC, and whenever I need something in return, he was ALWAYS in the trash. And if I deleted something on the computer with an external hard drive connected, it would NEVER be removed from the external hard drive at the same time. I'm so frustrated and feeling SO bad that I deleted a folder with important pictures of our kids. Is that what I can do to recover the pictures? Any help is greatly appreciated.

  You used Time Machine at all? I see you say it was not on, but it never on and is at - it a backup Time Machine on the Macbook Pro?

• Access to an external hard drive in XP

  I have an external hard drive that was working well until a few days ago. When I recently tried to access, the drive was visible in 'My Computer'. However, when I double-clicked to open it, I got a message saying "insert disk". I tried on Windows 7, which produced similar results, as well as on a Mac, which does not recognize.

  I wonder if the external hard disk enclosure must be replaced. Although it comes on when turned on, I hear not a running engine as I did in the past.

  Try to run, type: diskmgmt.msc

  ' In msc, L.click hard disk, go to actions, all, select 'make active "".

  close when thru. If its already set to this, try to connect to another

  port, xp will reinstall it on reboot.

• Access denied on external hard drive.

  I have an external drive, which works perfectly well. But I've just updated from vista to W7, and now I can not access the disk from that specific computer. I get access denied. On the properties, all users have full access. And the funny part is on my other computer, with the exact same OS, the drive works perfectly. So, I expect that there is a setting that I didn't know.
  Is there someone with good ideas on how to solve this problem?

  4. type
  takeown /F (external drive letter) and press ENTER.

  After that I followed these steps, my computer Windows 7 says that the drive is not accessible.  I plugged it to my old XP computer, and it also says "access denied."  I have a huge amount of important files there and I need to restore access, but I can't find an answer for how to cancel the steps I followed.  Please tell me how to reverse the steps I did your earlier suggestion.

• If I have "Everyone" grant access to an external hard drive, which means that everyone connected to my network?

  I finally understood how to allow those that are related to my network to access my external hard drive, or so I think...

  If I have "Everyone" add to my safety for the external hard drive and I concede that "Everyone" control total, this means that these signed to my correct home network?

  I want to just make sure that the people not connected to my network (which is password protected) cannot access the hard disk.

  Thank you in advanced for your answer!

  Not everyone wants to say exactly that any connection to the drive can access. To restrict access, you must set the account in some way. In a workgroup, there is no definition of the global account for all accounts have access or each user must be explicitly included.

  Even all the computers in a home group have an additional account generated to allow cross access.
