• CHKDSK changed on my external hard drive security descriptors, now I am unable to access

  My external hard drive is connected to my computer at startup and it began to run Chkdsk while I was away. I came back to find the security being replaced descriptors. Once this has been done and I logged in, I was unable to access the drive. "G: / is not accessible." Access is denied. "

• Moving shared files on external hard drive

  I'm moving my photos, videos and iTunes library on an external hard drive, then remove them from my computer to clear space on my Sony Vaio.  I'm running in endless pop-up windows informing me that ' this folder is shared with other people / deleting this folder it is is no longer shared.  The problem with that is that rather than starting the transfer of a large part of the data and to be able to go do something else while it works for a few hours, I have to stay in front of the computer, as the transfer stops until I approve the transfer.  A waste of time.  I tried to change the files so that they are not shared, but I was told that is not possible.  I am the only user of the computer and there only one account user.

  So two questions:
  1. is there a way I can stop the pop ups and just be able to start a transfer of large file without interruptions?
  2. is there a way to do everything on my computer (including everything I add later) unrequited?  I don't think I have any use for the function.

  Thank you

  William

  Hello

  1. did you of recent changes to the system before the show?

  Cause:

  This is due to the way in which the access control list (ACL) is questioned by Windows Explorer to determine if the folder is shared. When the folder parent and child have different permissions, security two entries are returned, which causes the browser to treat the file as if it is shared.

  Method 1: Perform a clean boot

  Follow the steps in the link below to perform the clean boot and see if you can transfer the files.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 7 in the link to your computer in normal mode.

  Method 2:

  Follow the link below and check if that helps.

  You receive a warning popup when you delete a folder that has a change to the ACL

• I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices.

  I have a Macbook air running OS X El Capitan. I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices. I don't know if I need to restart the time Capsule or change the wireless setting, etc. ?

  Please advise...

  The TC appears in airport utility? If not then it is probably not part of your network or is lost... upgrade installed you El Capo because there a lot of questions.

  What is the TC plugged into the network by ethernet? And configured properly? Are you to internet via the TC... but can not see his drive... that would be typical?

  Have you set Finder preferences to display the network drives? Apple keeps making it difficult for some unknown reason.

  You actually have to mount the drive TC if it appears under shared... it still may not appear if you double click on it. Under the search box on the top of the right hand you see Connect (As) box, type the name or IP address of the TC in there... Make sure that you save the password from your keychain.

  I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive

  For the storage of the files it is fine.

  For the execution of direct files for an application in the Mac, you are very likely to damage or corrupt the file at some point.

  And how do you do backups? Time Machine can't help you... it won't work.

  Backup is crucial, especially if you do things apple say not to do... That is to say move your photos or the iphoto library to the TC and try to use direct from there... expect any day to need a resumption of the library.

  compensation security chip is correct, but make sure that you do not have any password that you know, turn off all power on, the passwords for the supervisor/master before doing anything with security features.

• Network external hard drive for media sharing on Xbox 360

  Hello, I just got a new external hard drive. I put a bunch of video files and music to share with my xbox 360. I use windows media player to make the media sharing.

But after that I restarted my computer, my xbox can't see my external hard drive. I gave her a permanent using MMC drive letter and drive management. But for some reason any xbox will simply not show more. Any ideas? Thank you.

  Hi Rae3000,

  Vista cannot update files automatically from music on external drive folder or vice versa.

  When you play a file on your computer or on the Internet, the Player automatically adds the file to your library if it isn't already in your library. The reader does not automatically add a file that you play from removable storage media, a device removable storage, or on a shared network folder

  Hi abratton. Here's a topic that should help you. Find the section "Include a folder on an external hard drive in a library."

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/include-folders-in-a-library

  Once you have included the files in a library, then make sure you share this library with your homegroup:

• Windows 7 Professional... How to get access to security to view my external hard drives and external flash dirves

  I am a first time user to windows 7 Professional and need to learn how to access files that are connected to the computer by an external flash drive or an external hard drive.

  External or external flash drives hard drives can be connected to windows 8 computers or windows xp to view the files, but when then identical external or external flash drives hard drives are connected to two computers with windows 7 Professional there are settings automatically don ot all access to the external hard drive or flash drive external files.

  When the computer display, it displays the external hard drive.

  When I left click top produces a pop up with the title bar: location is not available

  Content: H: | is not accessible.

  Access is denied.

  When I right click on the hard drive and then click the Security tab, it displays:

  Name of the object: H: |

  To continue, you must be an administrative user with permission to view this object's security properties.

  Do you want to continue?

  Then I clicked on continue and it displays:

  Owner

  You do not have permission to view this object's security properties.  To view its security properties, you can try to take possession of the object.  As owner, you can also control who gets the permissions on the object.  Please note that once you take possession, the previous owner may not have access to the object.

  To try to take possession of the object, select an account from the list, and then click OK.

  Name of the object: H: |

  Current owner: unable to display current owner.

  Change in ownership to:

  the two choices are my name or administrators

  I then chose an and apply and ok and it did not work.

  I then chose the other and apply and ok and it did not work.

  Then I clicked on other users or groups and entered everyone and that no longer works.

  I am the only user of this computer brand new.

  When I click on accounts Panel then user control and security for the family and then user accounts, it displays my name as administrator password.

  What are the steps that I can buy an external hard drive or buy a flash drive or use the ones I already have and use them with this computer which has windows 7 Professional?

  How is the switch of the property did not work?

  I went back to safety again and this time stayed at the bottom for special permissions or advanced settings.

  And yet when I kept getting location is not available

  H:\ is not accessible.

  Access is denied.

  How do change you windows 7 Professional so that you can have access to your own files on an external hard drive or an external flash drive.

  Please list the steps.

  Thank you

  This problem has been resolved in collaboration with support of higher HP for Z book 17 mobile workstation.

  Steps:

  (1) determines that it is not NTFS problem

  (2) using the MSCONFIG the problem has been isolated to a single service

  When this service has been disabled and after reboot, the problem of access to the files is resolved.

  Results: HP had installed software on the HP Z book 17 laptop or mobile workstation which, by default, block communication with external hard drives and flash drives external.

  This HP Client Security software replaces or blocks all right click changes settings become apparent.  It blocks the change of ownership.  It blocks the administrator privileges.  It blocks all is used.

  The HP Client Security software has been changed and changed to deny privileges (default setting) to allow the communication with external drives.  When you go into the setting for this software, it is now a humming noise and maybe I need to download the drivers and software again to see if this problem is also corrected.

  Thanks for your comments.  I spent a lot of time on this and didn't understand why all right-click methods had failed.  The default software setting HP deny had trumped right click all changes.

• Can I use time capsule as external hard drive?

  Can I use time capsule as external hard drive so that I can access a file or a specific folder by searching for its name?

  A TC is now and for always player network... no external. So there are limits to its use.

  If you are multitasking your TC with Time Machine and then using a DMG file as a virtual drive is better than directly copy files... However sharing becomes impossible. One person at a time can open the DMG.

  See pondini. T3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html

  Old but still interesting to read.

  You can certainly create a folder on the TC and copy your files on it, and then perform a search. Research is slow on wireless is so the speed of transfer of large files. With the help of ethernet is certainly encouraged to desktop computers.

  Sharing folders on the TC is also now more difficult with increasing security at El Capo and OS later. You do not create on the computer records are not available. And even the ones you create can occasionally and autonomous change permissions (since the TC controls drive not the computer), you lock your own files on... I answer these questions once a week.

  Not all software on Mac supports using network drives. The most difficult is photos that can corrupt the library due to disconnections... which are the most common wireless. Be warned backups are important and not easy to do because of the slowness of the USB port on the TC and you end up really need to another location on the network for backup on.

  Generally, I advise the people not not to use the TC for direct files... That is to say, if you edit a document, make sure that it is on a local drive... When you have finished the document, you can copy it to the network drive and delete the local version. Easy for... not so easy documents for photos with major libraries.

  A TC cannot save itself and Time Machine backup impossible network drives... This means that no backup will be your files in the TC, unless you take the initiative and do it.
