Trying to access the files on an external drive. It is denied. Some files are accessable. / problem solved. But please help me learn.
Hello.
I use XP Home 32-bit Edition. My a-external hard drive is a Western Digital My Book Essential 1.5 Tb USB2 HARD drive: model number: WDBAAF0015HBK-00.
I can't access all files on the external hard drive. Currently, I mounted it on a folder. I have some files tif on the external hard drive and wanted to access my photos.
The message that I had to right click and select open with was "access to C:\(Folder tree) denied." I tried my programs and the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer of image editing. Nothing works.
When I right click on the images of problem the only options I have are: open, print, edit, Preview, open with, send to. None of these work.
Some files are not accessible, and others. Unaccessable files do not have a preview image in the window pane (on the lower left side when I'm in the folder).
This can happen if I didn't 'delete safetly' external hard drive or there was a Brown out? Some of the tif are too long file extensions? Shouldn't windows warn me too long file extensions?
I consulted the havn't the reader for a while.
I can not drag and drop the files to my desktop. I can't copy, cut, delete or move the files. When I click on a file, and then click file - properties: nothing shows up and he says: size: 0 bytes, size on disk: 0 bytes. But when I click on the file in the folder, it says that it is 23.3 MB. I can move the folder on my desktop.
When I select all the files and click on file - properties: it is said attributes: read-only and hidden. They are green in box, I have not did those and it does not work. I clicked on Advanced Options, again I had unstapled the ReadOnly and hidden, then I unchecked all 4 options because they were greenboxed too. It's green boxes, not the check marks in both situations. What are the green boxes?
______________________________________________________
Fixed a problem. I dragged and deposited the files on my desktop and I can access it. At this point, I just thought, since I had problems with the music files (mp3 or wav) is too long and is not be able to access or remove them, but I can delete the folders to get rid of them.
So my question is why am I unable to access the files? This is a limitation of my external hard drive? Can I test or repair? What is this kind of disk with this version of Windows? What is a format? It's NTFS. Computer management indicates that the external drive is healthy.
It seems that some files are not named as long as others and I could access those. Is there a limit on character/attribution of Tif or all types of files? If so, is it the same? Pourrait - linked to the way in which the external (or internal drive?) is setup in the policies tab? Are each disk different? They seem to be a little more limited than the internal hard drives, but I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the usb2.
Does anyone know if there is a program or a way to know how many letters or numbers have been used? Microsoft Word and Works a number of words, but Works 9 (I have that) doesn't have a number of letter.
Contradict you yourself. At one point, you said:
> I can not drag and drop the files to my desktop. I can't copy, cut, delete or move the files.
and then you say:
> A problem fixed. I dragged and deposited the files on my desktop and I can access it.
This side, the general approach to access in this case is "Ownership" of these files.
"How appropriate a file or a folder in Windows XP"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308421 >
This probably occurred because the files were created on different computers by users with different Secure ID (SID) or you have reinstalled Windows and files were protected to some extent. Since you are using XP Home Edition, the only way to see the security settings is to start your computer using safe mode and log in as an administrator. This will give you access to the 'Security' tab when you right-click on a file and select 'Properties' (as described in the article above). Apart from connecting with Safe Mode, you can use 'Cacls' command from a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") to view or change permissions on files

I get the error message "Untrusted connection" for a site I visit every day with the only option being "get out me of here!" I use Firefox version 39.0 and have Windows 8.1.

Thank youMichaelTry to start your system from a "Live Linux" CD free. This CD runs a version of Linux without installing anything on your hard drive. To create the CD, you download a file ".iso" and feature "Burn Image" of your CD burner to create a bootable CD. The advantage, that you win, is that Linux is a lot less strict with permissions, so you should be able to access your files and copy them to a USB device. Some Linux Live CD are:

Ubuntu is actually an installation disc, so be very careful to follow the 'Try Me' instructions so that don't accidentally install you it on your hard drive.An another boot CD, you might try is "Hiren". It is in fact a version of "First environment" of Windows XP, so you could get access to some files that you would otherwise not not when starting on this disc.

I had a library in iPhoto on an external HARD drive, and it worked. This is a disc plu so I decided to replace it with a new one that doesn't take much space on my desk. I copied the library through an external DRIVE to another drive, and it seemed to work. However, it now shows that a single photo despite being listed in the file manager as containing more than 70 GB.
I explored a bit further in the file using finder and preview and found many files sorted by date. The photos seem to be all there, but they appear in iPhoto when I switched to this library. Always only one picture appears.
I decided to convert the copied pictures from iPhoto library and it took a lot of time to convert, but the converted library always display just a single photo in Photos when I switch to this library.
I could import all of them individually, but it's a big enough job, if there is a way to get libraries to work correctly.
Any suggestions?
We need the details - what format is the drive? How is it connected? It serves a TM backup Volume? How you copied the library itself? The library still works fine on the old drive? anything else you can tell us which could help a total strange who don't see you help?

Trying to open the files Windows 3.1 with Vista Home Premium 32 bit
I am trying to open the files of an old computer running Windows 3.1. the files include MS Publisher, MS Works, encyclopedia Compton, & several other w/3.1 compatible programs. Y at - it a program or an update to Vista that can be used to open these files? What I try to open it & save programs on a version of Windows 3.1 & Vista before using on Vista? I can't open files from MS Office that have been made on a computer running Windows 98 or 2000. Any ideas?
Windows has many built-in features to make it as compatible as possible with older versions, but Windows 3.1 is really a little old! You can try to use Compatibility Mode, but it goes only up to what Windows 95.
To run an older program in Ccompatability Mode (as if your PC was using an older operating system):
1. right click on the program and select 'properties '.
2. go in the 'Compatibility' tab at the top.
3. check the first check box and to set up the 'Windows 95 operating system "(which is as old as that).
4. check all other settings for maximum compatibility (depending on the program that you try to use, some may not be necessary, but you should try each of them to be sure).
5. click "OK" and try to run the program.
Note: If you want to try to do this at a program Office (and other Windows programs), this may not work. Please ask for more help with this.
Your files, you need to just find a compatible program to open with. Please tell us the types of files for more help with this.

How to open the files transferred from one computer to another computer using hardrive external. The
host computer contains windows 7 wps writer and destination 10 windows computer. The files are zip compressed files.
Essentially, just drag the files from the external hard drive to your new desktop computer (or another folder) and double-click it to open the file.
Don't forget, you must install the program that reads that kind of file. If it's a RAR compressed file, for example, your new computer will not have software to open it again. You will need to go download the compression program to open it first.

Hello Arun,
Thanks for posting back.
If you have successfully transferred your files and they are stored in a location on the hard disk, that is, in a folder or drive on your computer, they will remain on your computer, regardless of any number of reboots.
Hope this information is useful. If the problem persists, please post back for assistance.

Hello-
I use Windows 7 Professional and everything seems to work very well. I joined my new Transcend f25 USB (300g) to use for backups. I copied on about 20 concerts of archives and had run Windows it's first backup.
Everything seemed fine, and the available space on the disc is now about 230g, that sounds right. The problem is I see only empty folders on disk!
Now, I know with certainty that the files are there because I tried to plug the drive in an old laptop XP - bingo there was all my files! Can someone advise me? This seems to be a configuration problem, or maybe a drive error. The files were there when I added in the first place, however, is very strange!
How can I see my files? Help!
Thanks, Dave
Check the disk for errors by using this procedure.
1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.2 - Click on the drive you want to check, and then click Properties.
3. click on the Tools tab and then, under check for errors, click Find now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will be a problem, but not to fix them.
To perform a thorough check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This analysis tries to find and repair physical errors on the disk itself, and it may take much longer to complete.
To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
4. click on start.
Kind regards.

I'm trying to reduce the file size of a jpeg file, but the dialog box under image > image size reflects a much smaller that the file is. I saved the image after resampling and simplistic image, the pip size reduced to 72 and lowered the low quality only to see the minimum file size reduction. Why the dialog box in photoshop gives me a different file size than my computer and how do I solve this problem? Thank you!
The Image Size dialog box dialog box shows the uncompressed size.
Your operating system (Explorer/Finder) shows the size compressed. (size on the disk)
If you use save for Web, you can see the compressed size, but also an overview.
