saving to the hard drive

I can load files from my external hardrive but cannot save processing and spreadsheet on the disk files. It is said to the approval of the administrator. How can I do this?

Looks like you have some permissions but do not have write permissions.  Log in as administrator and go to the external drive in Windows Explorer and right click on the drive (the root of the drive), click Properties and click the Security tab.  Add your username (your administrator username and your standard username) and give youall the rights and check the box to apply to all files and subdirectories.  Click Advanced, and then do the same in the special properties section.  Click on the owner tab, and then install you as an administrator to the owner of the car (including all files and subdirectories).  This should give you access, you must write to the disk (or make any other changes you see fit).

Here is some additional information to help you in case you have problems with the above or need of the instructions more detailed:

To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, 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/.

To solve this problem with folders, folders takeownership 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.  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/.

I hope this helps.  If this isn't the case, after back and let's check out some other options.

Good luck!

  • I have Photoshop CS 6. I had a computer crash (MAC) and had to be replaced. I have the license number and had it saved on the hard drive. Cannot get it to load.

    Can I reload my CS6 on a new computer

    Do not use your backup copy, simply download a clean version:

    Download Creative Suite 6 applications

    You are allowed to 2 places, so if you have not used a second then your license number will still work.  However, you'll want to disable your old seat at some point.  Because you can't access the computer that crashed, you need to contact adobe.  See here:

    Although, if it was just your hard drive that crashed it should be OK, because it will recognize the motherboard and it will still count as the same 'seat'.

  • Satellite L650-11F: where are the backup information stored on the HARD drive

    Hello.

    My original Toshiba HDD is a failure and I had to replace it with a new one. I haven't had any recovery DVDs until Windows stopped booting and try to avoid buying one.

    I thought that I copy just my recovery Partition and the master boot record on the new HARD drive which worked well. However I find that this hidden restore partition has only 400 MB and so cannot possibly contain all the necessary information to restore the system.

    I have boot from it, but I don't get any options to restore the default settings. It scans only for problems with Windows, runs a few tests on my records and presents me with advanced options that I can't go because I'm not connected.

    I went searching all about and know that ELSEWHERE THE PARTITION RECOVERY that you still need your Windows partition for recovery work.

    It seems just really stupid because most people will try to restore their default values after damage to their windows (deleted files accidentally or whatever).

    What is the point of keeping a partition hidden with just enough to Prime the system, but then require that certain parts of their partition original windows remains intact in order to restore?

    What I'm trying to know is exactelly what part (files) do I need to restore my computer. I tried to copy the Windows partition on the new disk but its too damaged and he'll take it apart if I try to copy some files or to copy directly (using linux dd or ddrescue).

    I am able to copy some of the unique files, so with little chance I might be able to copy everything that I need. I can't copy the part of the Windows folder however.

    So any1 know where the backup information is stored or has other ideas?

    Thank you in advance and please excuse my bad English.

    Hello

    At first, I must say that your biggest mistake was not not to create recovery discs. With these discs you didn t now have a stupid problem.
    Anyway, in my opinion, only option for you is now buy original Toshiba Recovery disk and install Recovery on the new HARD disk image.

    I put t know how to start the discussion with you and try to offer some answers. Is Toshiba doesn t create recovery CD/DVDs more and original recovery image is saved on the HARD drive. At first he was saved on the second partition of HARD drive and visible for laptop owners. Many people have deleted and do some experiments with these files for recovery. Later after the screwing up of most of them wondered why the recovery installation doesn t work anymore and blaming Toshiba for non-working HARD drive recovery facility.

    You need to just check this forum and see how many comments you can find here all this.

    I think that was the reason why Toshiba has decided to save this image on a hidden partition to avoid such things. Please note that this image of hidden recovery is designed for your laptop only and can be used if your laptop has the factory settings. Any type of change may result with missing option to start the installation of HARD drive recovery.

    Problem is that people don't read the operating manuals and don t understand how it works. To avoid any situation where the installation of the HARD disk can't start or failure HARD disk Toshiba strictly recommended recovery DVD creation. I m wondering really you didn't create these disks.

    At this point, I would like to repeat what I think: you will not be able to do anything, except by using the original installation disc of recovery. To be honest, it is cheap and costs 30 euros. Don t waste your time to play, buy, install the OS, and be happy.

    Bye and good luck

  • the hard drive of my dell xps 420 has been removed nothing has been saved. my computer is now junk, or my data can be recovered? Need help real bad

    About two years ago, some so-called friends takes my computer to my home. He truned into a question of law. I finally got it back. However they took the hard drive. And I'm almost 100% sure that nothing has been saved. where should I go from here, the computer is any good? This P.C. I encrypted a $ 1000.00. What should I do?

    Hello

    You can get a new hard drive and reinstall Windows on it.

    Check with the manufacturer of system for options.

    If it will run Windows 7, which would be the best option.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    If they were under a court order to return the computer of course sounds like they should have to
    Return it with a drive hard and in good condition. Mybe not because I don't know any of the details.

    I hope this helps.

  • I want to save my email and then reinstall it after that I have to wipe the hard drive.

    I'll update the hard drive wiping and reloading the software I want, get rid of the junk that I have collected over the years. I backed up my data, photos and music from My Documents, etc. but I can't figure out how I can save my email so that when I reinstall Thunderbird I can just empty files saved in the program and I'm back in business. I'm sure that's not hard, but I don't know the meaning of "Computerese" I get lost in technical language. How can I do this?

    Thanks for your help.

    If you have saved your whole Documents & Settings (or 'Users' since Vista) then you have probably already what you need.

    Thunderbird stores your data and profile settings.

  • Can I synchronize the information to this firefox but didn't save anything on the hard drive?

    Hiya,

    I have a laptop at home that I have used for years. Of course, I've saved loads and loads of the saved passwords. I installed Firefox sync here.
    On my computer at work, I've just matched the sync with my account. Its downloaded all of my info with success and I placed a master password on all my saved password just in case.

    My question is if, for increased security, it is a way in which every time I open Firefox, sync will access my information but then, immediately after the closure of Firefox it deletes just all my data on the hard drive of the PC?
    That is, is there a way to not save any info on is the hard drive of the PC but access my details of the model home?

    Thank you
    William

    No, Firefox Sync does not work in this way. Everything that you synchronize your work yo will stay there unless you delete the daily data.

    IMO, a better solution would be to use Portable Firefox on a USB for your work PC. No data will be loaded on your work PC. everything will be on the USB key instead. When you eject the USB stick your Firefox data will be in your possession, nothing remains on the PC where it has been used.

    Firefox Sync works between your PC and the 'portable' installed USB version.

  • My old broken computer and the hard drive is not recoverable. Is there a way to retrieve my favorites registered via the Firefox Web site?

    My old computer crashed. I took the hard drive to specialist to see if it could be salvaged, but it may not. Now I have a new computer and run Firefox. is there a way to retrieve my Firefox bookmarks and files on my new computer via the Firefox Web site?

    No sorry. If Mozilla saved automatically each users personal data to their website, this would be an extreme violation of the safety of users.

    There is the Firefox Sync - what is Firefox Sync - optional service which must be put in place before personal data is lost.

  • Equium A100-147 - clicking noise from the HARD drive

    For awhile, I had clicking noise from the HARD drive and when the laptop could not, I assumed the reader was packed but trying a replacement nothing happens. I get a blue light for battery and a blue light (low) for the supply of direct current, but nothing for power or disc. However, when I plugged in an external drive yesterday it starts fine and when I unplugged the laptop continued to work the internal drive. But even once this morning he died and will not start. I read that the BIOS can stop recognizing the drive or maybe that the settings are not being saved when it is off. Could it be the motherboard battery?

    > reading the BIOS can stop recognizing the drive or maybe that the settings are not being saved when it is off

    Enter the Bios (press f2 at startup) and check if it recognizes the hard disk. You can see on the home page or the boot option in the Bios.

    I accidently deleted pictures from the camera chip while it was in drive d:, but before that I copied them to the hard drive.  Is there a way to recover?

    Hello

    What version of Windows are you using?

    If it is deleted from the memory card, it can not be recovered. However, there are some third-party applications or the tool that will help you recover photos. If you have saved the pictures on the hard drive and deleted, so you can check in the trash.

  • State of the hard drive, the 'Frozen' value in the bios, no registered password?

    My ACER Aspire 5733 shows the HARD drive as 'Frozen' in the bios and, of course, does not start to her.

    There is no administrator password or user saved, but it shows the HARD drive as "Frozen" in the security of the bios screen.

    If I take the drive hard on and restart, it is not, as planned, when I put it in, reboot, go directly to the bios, it now shows the status of the HDD as "Clear" as the other password two States. BUT if I then reboot, instead of from Windows, it shows no bootable devices. Then when I check again the bios, the State of the hard drive is back in '' Frozen '' and two other passwords are always 'Clear' as before.

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I tried a few reboots, and even with another hard drive installed, he always does this.

    I have corrected it.

    He kept returning to the State of 'Frozen' on the hard drive even after the recommended Acer fix found here:http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/32674/~/bios-password-frozen#_ga=1.262809484.160920...

    After trying the procedure, he always returned to '' Frozen '' on the first restart during the installation of Windows.

    So what I did that.

    When I came back to the State where all three passwords security read "Claire", for the very next reboot, I updated the bios to the latest version. I used the pure BACK method.

    After stopping when the bios update has been done, the 'Clair' State was still intact. I * think * rest of the State of "Clear", as long that you go directly into the bios after that, and the problem was that it was not saved when you plan does not directly in the bios. On the next reboot after update bios, I started to install windows and THIS time after update BIOS, the first reboot during windows installation has NOT led to a State "Frozen" hard drive.

    So I think there may be a bug in the bios of last second for this camera, because it doesn't seem to be able to actually save the State of the hard drive correctly password.

  • XP is not start properly, important data files on the hard drive, location unknown such as e-mail addresses, individual emails and favorite links on Internet Explorer. The system is damaged irreparably, what is the solution?

    I need ideas to solve this problem.

    You can retrieve the data without being able to get into Windows. The methods described require a certain level of computer skills. You know yourself best, and if a better course of action would be to take the machine to a local professional with a good reputation instead. If you choose to do, do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place.

    1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd, or copy it to an external hard drive. I prefer not to do it if I know the drive is infected because he has a chance to infect your host system. In these cases, I use #2 below.

    2. you can start the computer target with a Bart PE (XP only) or Linux Livecd such as Knoppix or Ubuntu and retrieve the data in this way. This has the additional advantage to tell you if the problems you are experiencing are hardware or software related because if the computer behaves perfectly in Linux, you know that Windows (software) is the culprit. Conversely, if the computer behaves badly under Linux, you will know that there is a hardware problem. This is general information on the use of Knoppix for the recovery of data when you do not have Windows:

    You will need a computer with two cd records, one of which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB thumb drive with enough capacity to contain your data OR an external USB hard drive. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD *. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or free ImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created, and Knoppix will be able to see the files in Windows. If you use the USB key or an external hard disk, right-click on its icon (on the desktop) to get its properties and uncheck "read only". Then click on it to open it. Note that the mouse action by default in the window manager used by Knoppix (KDE) is a simple click to open instead of double-click traditional MS Windows. If you want to burn CD/DVDs, use the K3b program.

    * If your computer has only an optical drive and you want to use this drive to burn data or need to test drive, you can create a USB bootable Linux instead of a bootable CD. This site will show you how to do it- http://www.pendrivelinux.com

    Hello

    This backup after pressing F11 is a HP backup option, not a Microsoft option.

    I suggest that you contact HP or ask their Support Forums.

    It's the normal advice I'd give to record data; but we have no idea of the State of your hard drive.

    Saving your files:

    You can remove the hard drive and put it in a hard drive USB enclosure > plug it into another computer > and try to read and copy your data in this way.

    Or, you can download Knoppix > make a bootdisk to > start your system with it (IF your material is all work) > and copy your data from the hard drive like that.
