Windows 7 can not "see" the files on my external hard drive all of a sudden after I used ICACLS to give me full control.

I used ICACLS in a command prompt high to give me all permissions for all on the external hard drive. I do not share the disk or remove permissions from any other 'user' but all of a sudden the guest not to see the files on the disc and I don't know what to do about it. But when I open a window and go outside, the files are there, I can access it, use them in all cases, I would normally.

Anyone has an idea why an elevated command prompt would not be able to see the files that are clearly on the external hard drive? There is just something not right on command prompt, you see only not the files that are there.

Thanks in advance

Update: it turns out that there seems to be some kind of conflict between the UAC and the Administrators group. Don't know how I was touched, but I finally finished refusing authorization in writing system on my external hard drive. Suddenly Builtin Administrator, users of Builtin and NT Authority stood, one of them, or another group, resumed training, locked read-only access to all files, and then he took it a little further and removed my ability to write attributes or read them. I was forced to use a back up 'Admin I have on standby with a third I reapplied my main administrator permissions, but still denied access. After doing things with ICACLS, I was able to get a partial control, but I still couldn't save.

At the end of the road, it turns out that an external hard drive formatted in NTFS is recognized by the computer as a disk fixed, as if it were part of the computer, and there it was treated as such, given my file system files by locking the.

Even with the hidden Builtin Administrator I activated, I couldn't access the files. I finally had to move all the girls to the drive c:\ and format the external drive with exFat so that the system do not think that he was part of the computer. Unfortunately, I can never depend on having a System Image backup because exFat cannot have a writing for her.

I have full access, as well as anyone and everyone, there is no permissions on exFat, so it's a compromise, better than the system for the control of my own computer ruined combat...

  • I can't save the file to my external hard drive connected to my wireless router!

    I have a wireless router netgear WNDR3700 with 'plug-and-play' feature that allows a home to simply connect your hard drive to your network. I managed it to get up and running, but I encountered some problems when I tried to save files on the disk. The strange thing is that I can copy and paste or move the files to the location that I want to but I can't save it there... I have windows 7 Professional 64-bit installed.

    I thought about it :)

    Hello

    I bought an external hard drive Sansung to save all my music, but when one copy all my external music files hard drive thumbnails disappears. I uncheck the "always show icons, never thumbnails" in folder options, I tried large icons on display options, I even checked "display thumbnails instead of icons" on the Visual effects tab in the Panel of the Performance in Advanced system settings. ' " Prevented, Windows Vista is not able to see the photos in my external hard drive.
    What should I do?...
    Looking forward to your audience you shortly.
    Thanks in advance,

    1. click Start allprograms,Accessories, System Tools folder and Disk Cleanup

    2 check the photos and click OK.
    NOTE: Cache view the size of your thumbnail. More browsing, it can make.

    3 click delete files button on the confirmation window.

    4 disk cleanup will now clear thumbnail cache and close.

    This should clear up your tiles and once you access the program again the cache database will be recreated with the right thumb nail (we hope).

  • I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now want to import some RAF b HD files

    I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now have to import some RAF of the HD files but LR shows them as dazed out and said that they have already been imported when I hover over the thumbnail. I have this problem when importing files in the same HD Canon CR2, and who have been treated exactly the same. Anyone got a clue as to why this is happening? Thanks, Phil

    Hi Phil,

    If Lightroom then reads these as duplicate files, it shows that they are already present in your Lightroom Catalog.

    You can search by file name and check if the image is present in your library.

    Kind regards

  • When I open an image in Photoshop, I can not see the file.  The thumbnail on the right, but I do not see the image on the work area. I use Windows 8

    When I open Photoshop CS6, I can't see the image.  The thumbnail is visible on the right side and the work area shows file information, but not picture.  I've updated PS, my driver. The same goes for the jpg or RAW.

    Make sure that your drivers are up-to-date. Try to disable the GPU acceleration in preferences then restart Photoshop.

  • In Outlook Express, can not see the file tab, such as page moves right

    I can't move the Outlook Express mail page to the right.  It just won't go further to the right.  I get the arrow on the right side, but he doesn't hover over.   So I don't see the file, only a part of the Mail tab tab (-Arnaud).

    It is not really clear what you mean.  You can move the entire window of OE by clicking on the title bar (blue at the top of the window) and hold the mouse and then moving the mouse.  It is also not clear what you hear on the mail tab and the file tab.  Are you sure you're saying OE and not Outlook?  You can also try view | Layout to change what is displayed.

    Nothing to do with win7, assuming that your usb ports do not work.

    You should not change the files stored on a USB key, flash drive is a temporary location and must be used to move files.

  • CS4 won't open the files to an external hard drive. "not supported format or corrupted file?

    Hello

    I'm having a certain hard using first but the passage between different computers.

    So I created a project on another computer, in which I put the video files that are located on my hard drive (external). I saved the project on the same hard disk. Realization of my project, I noticed that creates the first "preview files" in a separate card.

    I got a new computer in which I put the 2 GB of ram necessary for myself so I could work at home. BUT when I connected my HD on my computer and tried to open the project, the computer said one of the preview files were missing. No big surprise, so I'm going and find the file. Click on it, but then it says:

    "not supported format or corrupted file", which is absolutely B * llshit because the Prime Minister created the file itself?

    In addition, all media, I imported in the left part of the screen of the user (not sure what you call) IS 'off CONNECTION '. It gets weird, because when I try to find the media using FIND in first, not all the files SHOW UP?

    Im getting quite nervous, because I need it to work hard enough

    Maybe its helpful to mention that my new computer is a complete novice blown [no internet connection, does not sound again: I just installed Service Pack 2] and maybe I'm missing some drivers?

    Please, please help me I'm wasting enough it actually...

    Thank you

    Jef,

    Open the CS4. Create a new project and when you get the sequence settings screen, are selectable AVCHD, HDV, and XDCAM presets?

    If this isn't the case, you are using the trial version, or your full version has been restored to the status of the trial. The trial does not support anything MPEG, even when encapsulated in AVI format.

    If you have the full version which is returned to the status of first instance, follow these steps:

    1. disable

    2 uninstall

    3. run the Script own CS4

    4 reboot

    5. Repeat steps 3 and 4

    6. Repeat steps 3 and 4

    7 install

    8 activate

    9. turn to update to 4.2.1

  • How can I change the permissions for an external hard drive?

    Hi, I have a little problem... I used an external hard drive on my pc windows 10 and now I try to copy my files on my iMac, but the thing is I can't delete my files from my hard drive because I can only read them. So I want to change the permissions, but I do not know how... Can someone help me with this please?

    Thank you for your time.

    This means generally that the volume is formatted to NTFS, at which case it must be reformatted or software such as Paragon NTFS installed on the Mac.

    In case this happens to a FAT32, exFAT or volume Mac OS extended, either the volume's directory structure is damaged, it is locked in the material or the player has felt that it is about to fail.

  • I'm unable to access the files on my external hard drive

    I have an external hard drive and can't read the files. The device appears on my PC, but no file shows when I go to the device and equipment. My PC is not recover this unit and only not recognize it as a USB device. I can see this under the folder hardware and devices, but there is no entry. Is there a way to access the files or retrieve files? The material of the driver is up-to-date.

    Hello

    Try to connect the external hard drive on another computer / USB and check.

    If you are able to access the files on the other computer, and then try to update the drivers for the chipset of your computer.

    You can visit the website of the manufacturer of the computer to get the chipset drivers.
