Try to update the files are read-only...

Haven't bought the upgrade to Windows XP Professional Version 2002 SP 3 to 7 pro all folders in XP are set to read only, so the upgrade will not unload tried the attrib-r + s c:\ reset without effect, there is no ownership of property for these records... so how can I remove the read-only attrubite?

Well, you could do a custom install and recover your data from the Windows.old folder:

Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
Click Install now
Accept the license agreement
When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

You will receive the following warning:

The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

(At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Created by external computer files are read only on the file server.

    Is not a question of indesign, but have searched and searched but cannot find an answer, hoping that someone here had the same problem and find out if it can be fixed.

    Systems:

    MacPro running snow lepoard as the file server

    iMac, read and write files in the Macpro have access to shared files.

    Problem:

    When the iMac saves any type of file, or create directories everything the iMac on the Macpro system is read only the user to Macpro.

    Only solution so far has been to give the iMac user an admin on the MacPro account, then everything they create is not read-only.

    It works but it's not the best of ideas for them to access the system files and you have.

    Is there a way to make the iMac to create files that are not read only without obtaining the server version of Mac OS x or giving them administrative rights to the Macpro.

    For any idea or suggestion would be great

    Thank you

    Problem solved!

    All this is down to the property not sharing or perrmissions.

  • Cannot change the properties of 'read only' files in xp

    Recently, I was not able to change the properties of 'read only' to my files. I click on 'Properties', uncheck the 'read only', press on apply, click OK. When I re - check the records they come up to 'read only' again. I can't find a way around it. It has stopped me to back up files, since I get the message that the files are 'read only' and cannot be changed.
    All solutions?
    Thank you

    The read-only attribute has never been applicable to files under XP. You can try to take ownership of files/folders instead.

  • cannot save file metadata, file is read only

    I have several files that I changed in LR, then changed in PS and saved in a different format.  Their return to LR and tried to record metadata in files, but it will not allow that and says that the files are 'read only '.  How can I change as read-only to read/write?

    Good answer found by dj_paige!  When I went to make a screenshot of the folder permissions, I found that although security, I have it changed so I had full access, the general tab for the parent folder is still marked read only.  After unchecking read only on the parent folder and the folder and subfolders over 1000, it's finally let me save metadata!  Big thank you!  For everyone with this problem, I would start by right clicking on the parent folder to all your image files, in general tab, uncheck Read-only and then if it does not change the permissions for different people on your computer.  I'm all for controlling the most possible and to relinquish control as a last resort!  Again, thank you dj_paige for me by browsing.  You've been very helpful!

    Hello
    I have a problem with Windows 7 I tried to solve by looking online, go to the Microsoft Windows 7 and appellant community Microsoft technical support phone line.
    I have triedthe suggested online solutions and when I called Microsoft Technical Support, I was told that they thought might be the problem and I was told that if I wanted to try the remote solution, I agree to pay $99 or sign for their $49 per month. I tried what they thought resolves the problem by getting the online instructions but it did not work.
    Here's the problem: I set up our desktop computer with the operating system Windows 7 (I love good Windows 7) and then installed a second hard drive with all of our documents and files in the computer.  When I try to open the files on the second hard drive, I get the message that the file is read-only.  When I try to change the attributes of the file or the folder that the file is in and then try to open the file I get the same message.
    I followed a suggestion that I read online that works (set at its lowest setting user account control), but now our computer has no protection against unauthorized manipulation.
    Can you tell me how I can get help for this problem?

    When you right click on the files read-only, you have the "Take Ownership" option. Once you have correctly taken possession of the file, you can then change the properties of this file to remove the read-only.

  • From El Capitan, a DMG image file is read only

    I have a Seagate external drive to Mac OS extended (journaled) format with 2 partitions. On a partition of the disk, I have an image DMG file which had read and write permissions to the title of Yosemite. Now with El Capitan, the file is read-only when I open it. But what is strange, is that when I do a "Get Info" on the queue image before I open it, it says I've read & write permission.  Then when I opened the image file, Get-Info gives me conflicting information:

    (1) it is said: "read only".

    (2) in the table, it is said to "user (me)" that permissions are "read & write".

    If I try to change the permissions (after unlocking the 'Get Info' dialog box), everything is gray and I can't make changes.

    I thought the problem was similar to:

    Re: external hard drive read it now after update of el capitan

    So I followed the 'solution' listed (used disk utility > first aid), no effect.

    I also downloaded the driver Seagate-fix, but this has no effect (which I expected since mine cannot be an NTFS problem...)

    Any help appreciated.

    How is the Seagate HDD formatted?

    If she is still formatted as NTFS then it is very likely that your third party necessary for writing to NTFS software is obsolete. With the El Capitan, upgrading a number of packages NTFS should be updated in order to be able to write the formatted NTFS disks.

  • TDMS C DLL error 6210 file is read only

    I try to use VS2015 to extract the data from the TDMS files, but I get this error when I try to open the file.

    6210DDC_CannotWriteToReadOnlyFileThe file forwarded to the library is read only and cannot be changed.

    This happens in both DDC_OpenFile and DDC_OpenFileEx.

    ddcChk (DDC_OpenFileEx (false \\server\share\file_path, "TDMS", &file));))

    ddcChk (DDC_OpenFileEx (file_path, "TDMS", true, &file));))

    ddcChk (DDC_OpenFileEx (file_path, "TDMS", 1, &file));))

    ddcChk (DDC_OpenFile (file_path, "TDMS", &file));))

    Is it possible to open only read files in VS or modify access VS before opening?

    The previous reviews were correct, using an old dll package does not work. For anyone who seeks the solution or how to configure tdms c dll in visual (VS 2015 here, Win32) studios:

    (1) take the new dll c since the above comment.

    (2) make a new empty win32 application project.

    (2) move the contents of \c_dll_tdm\TDM C DLL\dev\bin\32-bit in the working directory

    (3) move the \c_dll_tdm\TDM C DLL\dev\include file in the working directory

    (4) move the \c_dll_tdm\TDM C DLL\dev\lib file in the working directory

    (5) content move/copy the code \c_dll_tdm\TDM C DLL\samples\readFile.c in your working directory/source file. (The variable length must be replaced by an unsigned int so that it works with c ++).

    (5) follow these instuctions here to include your working directory (step 7 +). Add the working directory to your source file properties, but the addition of the library to the project properties

    Has it done for me I can successfully open the TDMS files. Thank you for the help and a link to the new DLL! I hope this can help some people who are also new to VS.

    I left it overnight with instructions for the lady who uses the PC to test this morning and see if it's all workers, and it is still, it seems that the fix does not immediately solve the problem of browser, but there later - maybe after a second reboot or something... very strange!

  • The files are gone and now get error 0 x 8007005 on restore

    At some point between Saturday morning and Sunday night, all the files on my internal HD (non - C drive) disappeared. The drive still saves and reads the files, but I don't know why the files are missing. I pretty much wasn't home all weekend so I remember any specific mistakes.

    I have 1 catering point from the previous Wednesday. But when I try to restore I get:

    "System Restore could not access a file. This is probably because an antivirus program is running on the computer temporarily disable your antivirus and restart System Restore. An unspecified error occurred during the restoration of the system (0 x 8007005). »

    Things I've done during the last hours of the couple. All 3 steps and be followed with an attempt to system recovery:

    (1) run (found nothing) virus check
    (2) run check rootkit (found nothing)
    (3) off my only known anti-virus (AVG)
    (4) uninstalled AVG
    (5) restart in 'Safe Mode '.
    (6) tried a "clean boot".
    (7) rebooted in safe mode

    Whenever I try to restore it, the computer spends 10 minutes on the stage "initialization of reboot", then abandon, going to rebuild the registry and restart. As the computer is not to leave.

    I would appreciate any input on either a solution for restoring failed or a way to recover the files randomly disappearing. (I already checked my trash, not there).

    Thank you.

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
