Unlock a file with only system privileges

I am trying to delete the folder 'Old system' after my update. It is necessary, therefore, I store the files.

The problem is that the old drag file is locked with system as the only user with full permissions to RW. I can't add myself (admin) in the file.

How can I unlock this file to delete? Thanks in advance!

Hmmm, there is no record of the old system with the current versions of Mac OS X. Who died with the transition to Snow Leopard. In regards to the sleep image file activate only the privileges of r/w for wheel and all the world while the dialog box is open and unlocked. It should work. However, if the sleep image file returns that you must restore those privileges back to what they should be.

I don't know what to propose for this folder from the old system you mentioned. You should be able to do drag to the trash to get rid of. Maybe you can provide more information about it.

  • How to clone a Dual Boot XP Installation with only files Bootloader on C:\

    For me one of the hardest things to do with a problem in a discussion text is to indicate clearly what disk and partition that I want to talk.  For those who need a refresher in the nomenclature of charger for the startup of Microsoft, it's here.  Others may wish to move on to the next paragraph.  The specification of a given partition is of the form multi (a) disk (b) rdisk (c) partition (d).  But for any ordinary computer, a = b = 0, so we cannot forget for the discussion thereon.  The c value is the number of the disk in the boot order, with the boot drive with c = 0.  The value d is the partition number with the first partition on the disk with d = 1.

    In the interests of my presentation that follows, I will refer to rdisk (0) partition (1) as r0p1, rdisk (1) partition (3) like r1p3, etc to save space and we hope to maintain a clarity of thought.

    My intention was to clone successfully my dual boot Windows XP Edition family, and Windows XP Pro installation from a larger drive to a smaller drive.  Unfortunately, technical cloning of hard disk Partition Wizard Home failed due to the fact that there is more data on disk more capacity that fits on the smaller disk.  To be precise, there are a score of additional data on the largest drive F:\ r0p4.  So I used Partition Wizard Home to the clone C:\ r0p1 (the system partition that has the XP bootloader files), D:\ r0p2 (Windows XP Pro) and r0p3 E:\ (Windows XP Home) one at a time.  Because I'm using a disk controller hard PATA TX2 promise with the bios settings fixed, the only way to change the order in which the bios starts the disks is to change disks data wiring. I made that as simple as possible by using the two captains of PATA.  Note that the partitions that I cloned were G:\ r1p1 H:\ r1p2 and I:\ r1p3.

    To help the reader understand the placement of hard drive partition, repeat myself below.
    C:\ r0p1 Windows Bootloader files only (System, active) Bootloader of Windows r1p1 only file G:\
    Windows XP Pro H:\ r1p2 r0p2 D:\ Clone Windows XP Pro
    R0p3 Windows XP Home Edition (Boot) I:\ r1p3 E:\ Clone Windows XP Home
    R0p4 F:\ data partition

    After cloning, I made the following changes to starting XP r0p1 and r1p1 Chargers.  I added the ability to each Boot.ini file to start, r0p2, r0p3, r1p2 or r1p3 to eliminate the duty the wiring to study how the work was going.  I have created a boot loader diskette bootable with the same exact boot loader files in it, too.

    I discovered the original disc start, I could successfully start all four of XP with the r0p1 bootloader or the floppy boot loader.  But when I switched the order of disc, only the floppy drive would start in all four of XP.  The bootstrapper on r0p1 never appeared.

    I take this to mean that a redirect command where Windows is to search the bootstrapper may be necessary.  I boot from my Windows XP SP3 slipstreamed boot drive and access the repair console.  First I ran bootcfg/list and to my surprise, there is no entry found.  I took this to mean that windows searches for the bootloader files in the right place.  Is it possible to redirect windows to their position?  Think I remember reading something on the redirection of the search for the bootstrapper files.  I also thought about the command that rewrites the MBR, but got a warning that my MBR was specially built and serious consequences could occur, so I'll stop before making a misinformed choice.

    While I'm hoping for a generous person offers help, I got back to the top of all partitions on both disks using Acronis True Image.  Then if worst comes to worst, I can experiment with the controls of recovery without fear of losing all my work so far.

    I finally discovered that the two related errors that I made which prevented me from being able to start the operating systems Windows XP cloned using the files of Bootstrapper on the cloned C:\ partition.  Unfortunately, I had never taken the time to check the veracity of 'files bootloader being on the C:\ partition cloned'.  In fact the original C:\ partition was a primary partition, then the so-called C:\ partition "cloned" was a logical partition.  This fact makes no difference for the boot loader diskette XP that I had built, because he provided the bootloader files in a separate environment to that of the two hard drives.  But because the partition of the C:\ drive "cloned" was logical and not primary, there's no way I could do the C:\ partition "cloned" active, because only a primary partition can be active.  And the manufacturing process an active primary partition is crucial, precisely because it tells the computer where the Windows XP bootloader files.

    In my case after that I discovered that the C:\ "cloned" was logical, I used Partiton Wizard to convert it to a primary school.  But even in this case, Windows XP could not find the XP boot loader.  It was only when I started Wizard Partition a disk using and marked the partition C:\ cloned as assets that the bootloader has finally appeared.

    Even in this case I was not completely out of the Woods.  Because I had left the original source of the operating systems that are copied to the computer while the problem of bootloader, Windows had kept the previous drive letter assignments after that hard drives starting positions were exchanged.  So when I started out in what should have been Windows Home on E:\ drive, I discovered that Windows had kept the previous letter of partitions I:\.  And the drive system has even changed the C:\ drive to drive G:\.

    Less than a year, I would have thrown to the top of my hands which happened and began on with the cloning operation.  But because I googled for Windows XP system or start letter has changed, I discovered that what I had to do was to go into the registry and swap disks back E:\ and I:\ value names, and do the same for the discs back, C:\ and G:\.  And when I got to Windows XP Pro, I also had to swap the disks back D:\ and H:\ value names.  The only drive on that I had not to swap names was my original data F:\ disc.

    Finally, I believe that it is time for me to say why I went to all this trouble because I leave the two disks on the computer.  2 years 1 TB WDC Green Player is coupled to the drive controller Promise TX2 PATA is to use a SATA converter IDE, during the five year drive natively 300 GB Maxtor PATA.  Using the free software software Disk Bench with the windows pagefile disabled, I repeatedly timed 480 MB creating files on both hard drives on all the different partitions and there seems to be an advantage of the maximum speed of 10 Mbps on the old Maxtor PATA drive converted SATA drive.  But the speed of creation for the two ranges of 20 MB/sec to 65 MB/s using the PATA drive, while the beaches of SATA drive about 20 MB/sec-55 MB/sec.  It would be nice to point out, however, that the WDC Green drive is environmentally friendly, but not a 7200 RPM drive.  I plan to study if measurements with Disk Bench with the exchanged boot disks and the disabled swap file will make a difference in the time it takes to create the file.

  • Limit the search to only the files with the exact search term

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 and I hate this search feature.  Is it at all possible to restrict it to precisely the name of the file I'm looking for?  Say, for example, I'm looking for a folder called "the gate".  Is it possible to continue the research to return each file with the words or door in it?  I don't mind if it returns the file formats different but 732 files returned by the word or door.  Help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you mean that you are looking for a name of file exactly and not only a phrase without worrying, you can get what you want if you use a special syntax, and include the file name extension:

    name: = "door.txt.

    Note that we have no ability to distinguish between upper and lower case sensitive in Windows 7 search.

    If you want to match the name regardless of their file extension, you need a wildcard character, the asterisk.  However, the "equal" sign does not accept wildcards, but the tilde then otherwise as equal to sign for correspondence.

    name: ~ "the door.*.

    No problem with the LR 6.1, but now (LR6.4), it seems impossible to rename my files with a specific format (yyyy-dd-hhmmss and a suffix) importing memory cards. LR imports only files with names of origin. And I have a lot of files to rename...

    I hope that someone knows what's going on.

    Jean,

    We found a similar question which is being implemented. If you shoot images at once in the first and jpg format and then import them using the option of renaming, the question is in place.

    Could you please check if you use the option "make a second copy? If so, please it deselect. It should solve the problem.

    Hello

    There has been a lot of problems using svn with dw, and I know many people who have stopped trying to operate correctly.

    As much as I know dw will not work with newer versions of svn (over 1.5), and even then, there are a lot of problems, a possible solution is to try subweaver (at- http://code.google.com/p/subweaver/ ), as this has solved some of the problems associated with the use of tsvn dw environment.
