• Vista Ultimate - Office 2007 cannot write on hard disk

  I have a laptop connected to a home network.

  The laptop is equipped with MS Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit SP & Microsoft Office 2007 SP2

  Connected to the network is an external NAS drive

  I cant save non-Office files on disk
  I can read Office related files of the reader
  I can save an Office file on the desktop and then cut & paste into the reader

  I can't save an Office file directly to disk

  Also on the network are the computers as follows:

  Windows XP with Office 2003
  Windows 7 with Office 2010

  None of these 2 computers have the same problem is to say about each of them can write Office related files directly to disk as well so it is not a matter of permission on the disk.

  It seems to be a problem of Vista/Office 2007

  Can anyone provide a solution please

• Help remove (ReadyBoost) USB drive write protection

  A customer used ReadyBoost, a couple of days on his USB drive, but never turned off when he did. The player is now known as write-protected, and I am unable to disable ReadyBoost on his computer, or any other.

  I also tried to format, diskpart and some linux partitioning tools.

  The drive has a single file named Readyboost.sfcache on it.

  I'm not ready to tell the customer that he can thow away its 4 GB USB drive, so what I could do?

  I know, it seems obvious, but just wanted to check. I'm guessing that you have already tried to remove the cache file as well?

  ReadyBoost is now included in the SuperFetch (SysMain) service, rather than having one of it's own. SuperFetch is usually disabled by default on computers with hard drives SSD. You can check this, or toggle control you want ReadyBoost to other flash drives.
  Some readers also have cursor over them and write protect the disk. Another obvious, but just in case.

• Tecra S11 - 140 - HARD disk Protection works only with windows 10

  After a clean install of windows 10 in my laptop S11-160, Device Manager does not recognize HARD drive Protection sensor, so in the HARD disk Protection settings, this option cannot be enabled. Is it possible to fix it, or I come to windows 7 and then move to 10?

  Another problem is that when I try to burn a dvd or a cd, I get an error: "write speed is too fast or too slow. The reader, MATT * A DVD-RAM UJ890AS, worked perfectly on windows system 7.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  After you install clear 10 Windows in my laptop TECRA S11-160, Device Manager found no sensor HARD drive protection, so within the parameters of this protection cannot be enabled. What I have to go back to windows 7 and upgrade to Win 10, or is there another solution?

• Windows cannot run disk checking on this volume, because it is write protected.

  I can't get the start menu appears in safe mode then I have botted on a cd with the command prompt and when I type chkdsk/r, so, it gives me "windows cannot run disk checkingo n this volume because it is write protected."  Can someone tell me what I can do to fix this?

  If you encounter a problem that you need help, follow these steps:

  Please provide additional information on your system:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  What you see you don't think you need to see?

  What do not you think that you should see?

  Fill in the blank: my system worked well until: _.

  If you just want to start by running chkdsk /r on your hard drive (a good idea), I would follow the instructions below:

  Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix all the problems.

  Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

  This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the command prompt.

  Start by checking the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

  I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

• External disk write-protected

  I have an external drive(500GB) that I use for storage of different types of documents. A few days ago whenever I try to save a document on the external drive, a message appears telling me that the disk is write protected. He let me read only files already saved. I have my computer set to install updates automatically. I need to know if a Vista upgrade can change the settings of my external hard drives. How do I activate my external hard drive so it allows me to save documents to it as usual? Im not a un expert expert in computers, please be specific. I hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

• Cannot access the disk in the drive E:, please make sure that the drive is ready and the disk is not write protected.

  When I try to backup Quicken, I received the error: cannot access the disk in the drive E:, please make sure that the drive is ready and the disk is not write protected.  My last backup of Quicken was 16/07/2010.  I don't know why I can't back up now.  Is there a way to fix this?

  Why not save to a folder on your hard drive and burn them to a CD - R from there? I can't tell from the little you wrote if the problem is with Quicken (not work or you have incorrectly backup location) or with your CD - RW drive. How about more details to work with?

• Remove my external backup disk write protection.

  I can't save anything on my backup drive due to an error saying impossible because the disk is write protected. It happened when I updated to windows 7 November last month. Now I can't transfer all files on the disc. Help.
  I read an answer to my problem re regedit's local computer and system control etc. The problem is that I have storage in the registry but not in default extension just to hand right panel and without value. How do I manually write the correct version so I can remove my storage drive write protection.

  I did as you said in regedit as there was no policy of storage device, but it does not remove the write protection. My backup disk is a connected via external usb port. If I turn off the external hard drive and turn it on then I can move or copy folders on disk for a few minutes the write protection turns. It started only with windows 7. In vista, alol was ok re backups. I read on the manual for this player and they don't even mention protection against Scripture. How do I know which drive to remove the register write-protection? I think I solved my problem. I had my backup disk connected to the computer via a usb hub. I changed it to connect directly to the back of the computer and now the backup drive is not protected in writing and I can copy and send the disk to backup with no problems. Thanks for your quick reply

• How do I unprotect external hard drive write protected

  I am trying to format an external HARD drive, but when I do I can not because a message appears saying that it is write protected.  I don't know how to change this permission.  Help please

  Hello

  Open the file in Windows Explorer and select the drive letter of your external hard dirve (eg. h:\).

  Right-click on it to display the context menu, and then select Properties

  Then, from the Properties dialog box, select the Security tab and give you read permissions / writing.

  You should then be able to use the context menu Format

  or

  Start > computer, right-click and select Manage (you will need the administrator privelleges)... then disk management... With administrator privelleges your should be able to format the drive in the My Computer Management console.

  Kind regards.

• Internal hard drive has all of a sudden the write Protection

  Hello

  My internal hard drive has suddenly developed the write protection and has resisted each of my attempts to change this. I found issues related to external hard drives, but have not met a subject that bears on the disk system hard to develop this problem.

  The last State of operational activities that are known:

  My main hard drive read/write functions were fine the day before. The only things I did today were the usual activities like browsing the web, watching videos, etc.. The only thing I did of note has been download a Steam game, which required the U-Play from Ubisoft. I installed the game and U-Play, so the game went very well. Then I played another game of steam which does not need U-Play, then attempts to transfer files on a USB key.

  Steps taken to solve the problem:

  When you try to transfer files, warning "the disk is write protected" appears. I thought that it odd, as I had never met this caveat on this PC before. I discovered that all the files in the C drive have been suddenly write protected. My attempts to solve this problem include:

  • Deactivation of 'Read only' file level and folder settings. The settings app doesn't seem to be a problem, but the moving folder gave the warning and she returned to "read only".
  • What allows all permissions for the users and system Admins for drive C properties > Security (I found it odd that users have all permissions, when I clearly remember all the usual permissions enabled previously)
  • Reboot/boot scan running for drive C to properties error checking > tools > error checking, which reported no error.
  • Opened as administrator command prompt and entering 'diskpart', 'list volume', "select volume #', disk clear readonly attribute, readonly attributes volume clear." The clear drive has reported a failure, while the clear volume reported a success.

  None of these steps have managed to solve the question of write protection. Might this problem be possibly related to the downloaded game, or the program U-Play from Ubisoft? Is there something that I missed? What can I do else? I have documents and files that have not been backed up, but I don't want to lose.

  Thank you for reading, any help would be appreciated!

  I'm really sorry for your time. The culprit is revealed to be the key USB is write-protected, not the drive internal (phew!). I guess I panicked a bit and don't think to test with another stick of memory, which transferred files very well. Problem solved, I'll just reformat the wobbly flash drive.

  Thank you for sticking with it, even when I probably don't have too much sense, you have been very helpful and patient.

• Drive hard USB is write protected and will not run backup

  After the upgrade from Vista to 7 I formatted a drive hard Maxtor Plus and backup is complete with image.  A week more later in a attempt to a backup I received a message that the backup failed, disk is write protected.  I tried to take possession through the prompt command > takeown /f e: and received message disk is write protected.  Formatted drive in another computer with XP, then windows 7 machiene always write protected. Attempted to seize properties.  current owner is a numerical value of the letters about 35.  Will not let me take ownership as administrator again tells me disk is write protected.  Is it possible to remove the write protection this drive E:

  Thank you for your response.  It was not a strategy of storage devices in my registry.  I tried to create it manually. I was able to get a folder, but the value is default.  Not believing that I could create the key correctly, that I resorted to restore my system before the first backup and I got access to the external drive at this time.  I will install a new backup and hope that I find not write-protected again.

• How can I disable 'write protect' on an external hard drive?

  My external hard drive is suddenly now "write-protected", I don't, how do to UN - do, without reformatting everything, Ive looked at properties, etc.; It won't let me save it now.

  I've seen it before, here's a few things that can help:

  1. This can be caused by malware, are you sure that your machine is clean?

  2. connect your device, right click computer, click Manage > storage > disk management, then right click on the chart in drive to the device and select change drive letter, then change for a more near the end of the alphabet.

  3. change these registry keys, but create a system first, restore point just in case you have problems. Note that the keys do not necessarily exist, so do not create them as it is probably a different issue.

  3.1

  Open a run window (Windows Logo key + R), type regedit, hit enter and in the left pane, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies, double click on WriteProtect and change the value to 0 (zero) data.

  3.2

  Now, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\StorageDevicePolicies, double click on WriteProtect and change the value to 0 (zero) data.

  3.3

  Finally, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\StorageDevicePolicies, double click on WriteProtect and change the value to 0 (zero) data.

• abduction flash/memory stick write protected disk

  Twice my disk flash (memory stick) has been 'write protect' lit (two different memory sticks). How can I turn off write protect?  There is no physical switch or tab on the memory stick. Write protect got turned on while I was using Windows Explorer to copy files from an external hard drive on the memory stick. There was no message during the copy process. Only, I discovered when I tried later again copy the files. Received the message that the drive was write protected.
