To access the files from the old drive to primary

Hello

I hope someone can help me with a question to get my
files on a hard drive that was in my old computer.  I recently bought a Dell XPS 8500 with
Windows 8 and using an external drive for the old disk source system hard, I
tried to access my files, but access has been denied.

Is it possible to get these files on the old hard drive?

Can I start my XPS new 8500 of the former hard computer
Windows XP drive and deletes the files in this way to an external hard
by car?

Any information would be greatly apprciated.

Take control of a file has been a learning experience since very little talked about this with Windows 8 forums.  So what better way to learn than try it on my own and surprise surprise it worked and was much simpler than what everything I read without having to download any third-party programs.

My files are on an old main drive I removed from my old computer that died.  Using a hard drive Docking enclosure Aluratek I could see my files he laugh at me because I could not access it.  That is until I click with the right button in the file and I changed a few things.

That's what I did and maybe it will work for others as well.

Right-click on the file you want to take charge.  Click Properties in the lower part.  On the screen that opens, click on Security at the top and then Advanced down when the open security setting.

You should now have some Advanced security settings staring you.  This topic you should see the name and then owner listed under it.  Click owner.

You must Select a user or a group in front of you.  Look down and click Advanced.  Another window will open and on this window to your right next to the box of common queries , you should see a button that says find now, click on it.  A list should appear in the search results.  In this list, I found my name that I use to connect to Windows 8 with.  I double clicked on that and it is up to Select a user or group.  Click OK.  Advanced security settings , be sure to check 'Replace all entries authorization child with entries from this object object' if there are other files in the folder that you want to open.  After having done and again in the Properties box, click OK .  Return to the folder or file and you should be able to open it now.

I did all this mode without failure and find that Windows 8 is the fun part.  If you have Windows 8 and you want to start safe mode, press F8 will not Mode without failure.  Win + R and type msconfig.  This will open the System Configuration box.  Click Start , and then check in the boot options, starting with a minimum check also.  Press on apply and then OK.  After doing all that in Safe Mode, to get by doing the same thing again.  Win + R at the same time, msconfig and then start and uncheck the startup and restart the computer.

Hope this helps anyone who ran in the same frustrations that I did.

    Hello

    Files that cannot be copied are in bad clusters.

    Try running chkdsk x:/b

    The /B switch will cause the disk check to reassess the bad clusters and try to fix them again.

    Let us know the results.

  • I copy / paste a file from a hard drive to a usb port and now I lost the USB I get the hard drive?

    I move a file from a hard drive to a usb port and now I lost the USB I get the hard drive

    "Deleting" a file does not actually delete it marks just the space
    also available to be used. There are third-party programs that can
    sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the space used by
    the file is likely to be replaced very quickly, and it makes
    the unrecoverable file.

    So your chances of successfully recover this file are decent if you
    Try it again immediately after the deletion of it and go quickly
    downhill from there. If you have used the computer since then (for
    example to write this question and read this answer), your chances may
    be very poor now.

    But if the file is large enough, it's still worth a try. Stop
    using the computer in question immediately, if you have not done
    already. Download an undelete program (and here's one:)
    http://www3.TELUS.NET/mikebike/restoration.html but there are several
    others to choose from; Do a search) on a friend's computer (do not
    it on yours because that would overwrite the files you want
    Undelete) and bring it to you on a CD or thumb drive to try.

    If that fails, your only recourse is to bring or send the disc
    a company of professional file recovery. This kind of service is very
    expensive and may or may not work in your case.

  • I just installed a new drive faster. How can I get windows live mail from the old drive to the new drive

    Where are the files stored WindowsLiveMail?  Under what article directory.  I have "tons" of e-mail messages stored on the old disk and need to move them to the new drive faster.  How can I do?

    The location of the store folder, which contains all the messages, calendars and the account settings, is configurable by the user. The default location is
    C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail

    If the installer of WLMail is a record storage in the default location, it normally acknowledge and take into use if. The only user that would be required should reinstate saved passwords. If this is to succeed, the old and new installations of WLMail normally must be exactly the same construction. The storage location must be in place in the default location on the new drive before installing WLMail. Also, the current user must be the owner of the record store to its new location.

    If the old drive is installed on the same computer as the new facility in WLMail, you can point the Import Wizard to import messages to the old folder of the store. They will find under storage folders into imported folders.

    When I transfer files from my hard drive on a USB flash drive, the transfer rate is very slow, about 250 KB / second. Is it possible to increase the speed of transfer rate

    depends on the speed, support USB 2.0, USB 2.0 ports, and with active BIOS settings
