• How can I prevent Windows Update to write data to my external HARD drive

  I have Windows XP running on a controller NI PXI-8106. On this same controller, I have two mapped drives.
  1 C drive where Windows is installed
  2-external SATA drive mounted in RAID0 used to save sensitive data in our application.

  We discovered that Windows update has written files to disk external DRIVE instead of the local drive as we would expected. What could I do to prevent this. It is very important for us, given that the RAID0 data should not be upset by any means. We cannot update Windows to write outside of the C: drive.

  I look on various forums and it seems that I'm not the only one in this situation where Windows Update writes data to an external HARD drive, but I have not seen anywhere a solution to avoid this, in addition to unmaping the drive.

  During the installation of updates, Windows Update downloads the installers (only) for updates to the drive with free space available. You can either disconnect the external drive when you need and/or free up space on, for example, your boot drive.

• I just plugged my camera and uploaded new photos for my Creative Memories Photo Manager. Now when I go to the Safely Remove Hardware my camera does not show... only my external hard drive.

  I have a new computer.  We have been plug an external hard drive to move my photos in the new computer.

  I just plugged my camera and uploaded new photos for my Creative Memories Photo Manager.  Now when I go to the Safely Remove Hardware my camera does not show... only my external hard drive.  I'm afraid of getting my camera.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!
  Thank you
  Oumar W

  Creative Memories Photo Manager probably ejected your camera after you import the images. Check the default settings and change them if you prefer something different.

  If your camera is not displayed as ejection, it is safe to remove it. Damage to the file system wouldn't be possible, but not certain, if he had written active file or buffer not released when the device has been deleted.

• Lightroom recognizes not all my photos on my external hard drive?

  Lightroom recognizes not all my photos on my external hard drive, he sees the part of a file, but not all the files it contains. Virtually everything is there except that one folder, it says all were imported, but they don't show...

  If you wwant photos will show up in Lightroom on your external drive, you must (in Lightroom), do a right click on the folder on your internal drive that has photos and select Update folder location. Then select the appropriate external hard disk folder. You may get a message asking if you want to merge files, allow this merger.

• 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.

• 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.

• Windows 7 can not "see" the files on my external hard drive all of a sudden after I used ICACLS to give me full control.

  I used ICACLS in a command prompt high to give me all permissions for all on the external hard drive. I do not share the disk or remove permissions from any other 'user' but all of a sudden the guest not to see the files on the disc and I don't know what to do about it. But when I open a window and go outside, the files are there, I can access it, use them in all cases, I would normally.

  Anyone has an idea why an elevated command prompt would not be able to see the files that are clearly on the external hard drive? There is just something not right on command prompt, you see only not the files that are there.

  Thanks in advance

  Update: it turns out that there seems to be some kind of conflict between the UAC and the Administrators group. Don't know how I was touched, but I finally finished refusing authorization in writing system on my external hard drive. Suddenly Builtin Administrator, users of Builtin and NT Authority stood, one of them, or another group, resumed training, locked read-only access to all files, and then he took it a little further and removed my ability to write attributes or read them. I was forced to use a back up 'Admin I have on standby with a third I reapplied my main administrator permissions, but still denied access. After doing things with ICACLS, I was able to get a partial control, but I still couldn't save.

  At the end of the road, it turns out that an external hard drive formatted in NTFS is recognized by the computer as a disk fixed, as if it were part of the computer, and there it was treated as such, given my file system files by locking the.

  Even with the hidden Builtin Administrator I activated, I couldn't access the files. I finally had to move all the girls to the drive c:\ and format the external drive with exFat so that the system do not think that he was part of the computer. Unfortunately, I can never depend on having a System Image backup because exFat cannot have a writing for her.

  I have full access, as well as anyone and everyone, there is no permissions on exFat, so it's a compromise, better than the system for the control of my own computer ruined combat...

• 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.

• 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?

  Hi I tried your instructions below to restore all my administrator permissions full on my external hard drive.

  1. click on Start , click all programs , and click Accessories .
  2. right click on command prompt , and then click run as administrator .
  3. in administrator: command prompt window.
  4. type
  takeown /F (external drive letter) and press ENTER.
  5 type
  CACLS (external drive letter) /G Administrator: F 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.

• Not able to recognize the Mac external HARD drive in Windows 7?

  Anyone have any suggestions on how to access this Ext HDD in Windows 7?

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions

  I don't know why someone marked the message confused and imprecise by Ganesh B aissa as response - please fix this.
  In any case, perhaps this will help you-

  For OS X native file system is HFS +, it is unreadable by Windows natively.   If the drive is formatted in HFS + you might be able to read with tools 3rd party.
  See a here-

  In general, if you plan to use an external hard drive on a PC and MAC, it may be preferable to use the FAT32 format which support two operating systems.
