I can not access any of these storage devices or virtual drives.The devices work perfectly on other computers.I am sure that there is a problem with permissions.I tried everything from other forums, from cmd commands to local protocol changes,and when i tried to change permision of the drives in My Computer i get acces denied.I am on the only user account which is administrator too.

I recently started seeing a problem on one of my laptops where all USB storage devices would mount but when I try to access them through explorer I get a warning saying the location is not accessible and access is denied.The system can see the usb device, derive the name and file system type of the volume be it a pendrive or a kindle but I cannot access the files.All of these devices work without issue on my other Windows 7 laptop.I get this regardless of being logged in with a user has administrative permissions or standard user permissions.The laptop is a DELL Latitude XT2 running Windows 7 Ultimate fully patched.

When I connect them, I hear the beeps but the device sometimes show up, sometimes not and sometimes they appear after a long interval. On accessing them, Windows tell me that I need to format the drive. Well, I can't do that. It's happening with all of my removable devices, not just one. They work fine with my laptop which is Windows 7 too,

View 2 Replies View RelatedI no longer show any storage media (flash,portableHD) in my computer when i plug them in. The sound chimes when they connect, they show in the device manager with an exclamation point, but i cannot access anything. Initially my flash drives would attempt to install drivers but fail, now nothing even pops up in the task bar to show it is connected.
Anything that it not storage related (mouse,keyboard,printer,phone charger) all work fine, they chime and pop up in the taskbar when they are plugged in like normal.
What i have tried with no success: Boot into safemode and uninstall everything under USB Controller.... in the device manager including hidden, use different usb ports, refresh, update drivers, nothing works.
- When I plug in the USB Flash Storage to my laptop, If I login as Admin, it can show the contents file very fast.
- BUT if I login as normal user, and plug in the USB Flash Storage and open its drive in Windows Explorer it need long time to open the contents. Did any one know what is the problem?
I see a lot of questions on drivers and devices for Virtual machines. (Hyper-V, VMware, "XP mode", Virtual PC, etc)
Its important to understand that the devices the virtual machines see are not the actual hardware in the machine.
That is to say...the virtual machine might know that there is a network card available to use, but it doesn't know that the physical network card is a Broadcom 3c905 (for example). The virtual machine thinks that it is a pre-defined device that is written specifically for use in the virtual machine.
Same goes with other hardware, your Nvidia 9800 GTX would show up in the VM as a totally different piece of hardware. And this virtual piece of hardware does not have the features or power of the 9800 GTX nor does it require its device drivers.
Virtual machines use 2 types of devices. Emulated and Synthetic.
Emulated - Drivers/Devices that require a lot of physical box overhead to process for the virtual machine. Basically there is a lot of translation that the hypervisor (virtual pc, hyper-v, etc) must perform for the virtual device to utilize the physical device. These are the types of devices/drivers you will see used in Virtual PC and MS Virtual Server 2005 and some others.
Synthetic - Virtual Devices/Drivers that are highly optimized to perform very seamlessly with the underlying physical device. Hypervisor intervention/translation is kept minimal and therefore performance is greatly improved. Virtual machines using synthetic drivers are often said to be "enlightened". These are generally seen in bare metal hypervisors like Hyper-V and ESXi.
The important thing to take away from this post is that the actual physical devices in your computer are NOT what the virtual machine sees.
The network traffic from your virtual machine is passing through the physical network card, but the virtual machine will "see" a totally different device than what is actually in the computer. This goes for any device.
can any body tell me what are you using for creating virtual drives.

My Windows 7 Pro x64 has twice had to be completely reinstalled after serious faults.Each time before the crash Virtual XP had been installed and had created its own VHD.Both VHDs have been preserved, but the Virtual machine(s) have apparently isappeared. On each Windows 7 reinstallation, the important folders from the previous version were saved in a Windows.Old folder. I now want to reinstall VirtualXP and choose one of the old VHDs rather than create yet another one. What is the easiest and fastest way to do that?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy laptop is not letting me copy anything onto USB flash drives. I'm using windows 7. I have already tried system restore and uninstalling the drive in Device Manager and Disabling write protection in the registry but to no avail. I am able to format the pen drive and also access files on it and copy files from it. But I am not able to paste files from my laptop onto the pen drive. It says "Destination folder access denied" and "You need permission to perform this action". I am running an administrator account. Also I am able to do everything normally in the case of a external HDD but again face the problem when trying to paste something to SD cards. I have taken ownership, run as administrator and also tried to drag-drop but to no avail. This not for just 1 particular file/folder. I am not able to copy anything to the USB and at the same time I am able to copy anything to the external HDD.

View 9 Replies View Relatedmy issue is though all my files, documents, start menu & icons are where they should be if i try to access them it gives me the message"Windows cannot acces the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access them."There is only my profile on the install of windows and I am the administrator, i've tried from the start menu - run - CMD with admin privileges and it gives me the same message. I've tried to Take ownership but that option isn't available in the drop down menu - it doesn't restrict me accessing any file or folder just the running of any file.In safe mode i've ran AV & AS programs including - Spybot S&D, Superantispyware, Avast, Malwarebytes AM & Microsoft security essentials - and none of them have found anything except a few cookies the first time through which it removed and changed nothing, as you would expect. I am also running Online Armour as my firewall but had turned off the program guard to install couple of programs, but not the webshield. As i mentioned above in Safe Mode i can run most programs no problem including the AV's. I also run Msconfig in safe mode to see if i could see a service or startup program i don't recognise as i've experimented with alot of them when i was running XP and there doesn't appear to be something that looks out of place.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have got a 60gb SDD from which I boot my OS and a 1tb HDD which acts as my storage drive. Most things I can direct to the HDD, but occasionally I find that despite directing a program to install on my HDD (E: drive) its will install on BOTH the HDD AND the SSD (C: drive). For example: I created a directory on the HDD into which I installed the game AION. I then checked my SSD and saw that it was almost full and that the game had not only stored on the HDD but also the SSD.I would like to avoid this as my gbs are precious few (I have already optimized my SSD to get rid of un-needed clutter, etc.). I would like to understand the behaviour of these programs and also get your opinion on if its safe for me just to DELETE the AION folder from my c: drive (without having to go through the whole DL process again).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI haven't really had any issues since I first installed Windows 7 and now I'm trying to access a shared drive over a network and I'm getting this annoying error message that I cannot access a shared drive over the network.
I decided to reinstall Windows 7 and before that I never had this issue.
I have not installed any third party software, I've enabled network discovery and right now I cannot access any shared folders or drives, at all, though it can see it.
I'm getting that stupid error message: "<Network drive> is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of the server to find out if you have access permissions. Access is denied."
What am I doing wrong here?
How to reduce D Drive and increase C Drive
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm obviously brand new to the forums so I hope this is the right place for this. I should start with my type of drive; I have a 120gb Cherryville SSD from Intel serving as my C: Drive. Just the other night I had approximately 43GB left in my C: Drive (note this is incredibly low as well, but I was content). Last night I checked again and saw that I was down to 25! I performed a disk defrag and that actually decreased my storage to 23! I am absolutely puzzled as to the cause of this.
The only thing I have done between the time that I had over 40 and last night was update my visual BIOS (having nothing to do with my C: Drive at all) and download a simple XML update for Microsoft Expressions (which was measured in kilobytes). Granted I have done my fair share of updating .net framework and various other updates, but all of my major programs are on my hard drive, not my SSD. To put this into visual perspective, I'd like to share a photo showing around 25GB of space taken that is absolutely nowhere to be found, I find it hard to believe that Windows and a few programs can take up nearly 90GB of storage.
I just formatted my computer. i used to have a windows drive, and a storage drive that was almost full. i installed windows on the windows drive, and didn't touch the storage drive. after windows booted up, i assigned a letter to the storage drive and i was able to see it in my computers folder. but now i have new problem: i can't install games or anything onto the harddrive. they say something like: can't create file. but, i can paste files into it.
