Can't Access Files On Mounted Vhd?
Sep 22, 2012
I had a sudden hard drive crash and have a system image back up on an external drive.I can't remove and replace the hard drive from the computer because there is about 2 inches of space to get a screwdriver in.I plugged my external drive into a laptop and followed the procedure for attaching a .vhd file.I have two files backed up on the same evening for some reason, 54 GB and 90GB.I couldn't get the 90GB vhd to attach properly until I unchecked the read only tab, it mounted, but I couldn't access any files.I clicked on the file, it asked me to click continue with admin control to permanently give access, it takes a few mins to load...but no files to open.

I have lost the ability to access a mounted drive.Previously, I would mount the drive and it would immediately open, saying it was Q: shared drive...). I have never had a problem before.The drive is from a True crypt encrypted file - I can mount the drive by entering the password to True Crypt, no problem. It mounts, shows up as local disc Q:, but when I click on it, it will not open and I get a message saying 'You don't currently have permission to access this folder'.When I follow the directions to security, and access the properties, I add my user name and tick full control but it the says:An error occured when trying to share Q, access is denied. The shared resource was not created at this time.I have also tried giving permission to 'Everyone' but the same thing happens.(This is complicated by the fact I have been having other problems today.Basically,I used HP Support Assistant to download updates for my laptop, since then I cannot open the devices and printers box - it just hangs and does not populate. I have done system restores, followed instructions from this forum about turning on bluetooth support, printer spooling, resetting explorer, but nothing has worked.

As the title says i've seen guides online but they're a bit confusing. I had windows 7 on my computer before. but it got a virus and the usb that I install windows 7 with died on me. So I installed windows XP on my custom machine with a 1gb flash drive using wintoflash. But now i kinda want windows 7 back so I can play games. Is there anyway to do this.

Looking at buying a new PSU as mine is only 375 watts and am adding new components. With a lot of the newer psu's the fan is on the top of the unit and not the back like mine. As I have no way to mount the psu at the top of the case (my case and board are both btx). I also have no vent holes at the top of the case. So am I able to mount it at the top with the fan blowing down? Will this cause any heat or ventilation issues in the case itself?

I have a clone computer that I built about a year ago. I put a 90Gb SSD in there and put win 7 on it. I also had 2 other hdd's in there from past computers. I was trying to use them as data disks so my ssd wouldn't get so full. Well since I never wiped them out from past computers they were getting close to full. So I took off all the data I wanted on one of the drives and then formatted that drive and mounted it to my ssd. It was working fine. Then one day I come home and turn on my computer and now it won't boot up. My SSD doesn't show up other than it being called the x: drive with only 31.4 MB on it. No kinda system restore points are shown, and a repair disk doesn't work, or even to try and reinstall doesn't work. It's like my computer isn't recognizing the ssd hard drive as my c: drive and the disk I just formatted is the disk they think is the c: drive.

I have two Identical hard drives [1.5T WD in external caddys with both USB2 & eSata connections]. Both have been in use since I built computer Dec10. Now I plug them in and their not visible anymore? Their shown as a usb or scsi drive but no assigned drive letter or their "name".Their showing in the Disk manager and I found I had to manually tell it to mount and assign a drive letter[then their useable]. I tried another removable drive that was USB2 & firewire and the same thing. USB2 ,eSata or firewire and their all not visable in explorer. Yet I can plug in a flash drive and I can immediately see it once loaded.Is there a switch in registry or somewhere thats controls this.All these drives were immediately available in file explorer previously? Now I am having to use the DM to manually mount and assign them to read/write to them.

I've got a new PC running Windows 7 Home 64-bit. It works well and I'm very pleased.I've just tried importing my Outlook.pst file from my old computer (ran Win XP Pro) which died (partition got partially deleted). I've managed to access it using "Find and Mount" which will display the partition as a drive in My Computer and I can access all files bar those in "Documents & Settings" which it comes up saying I don't have permisson to access.I've tried to take ownership of these files, however I get an error saying "The media is write protected". Is there anything I can do to recover the files?

My old windows 7 install wouldnt boot up, so i installed windows 7 over it so all my items get saved to the windows.old folder. Now when i go to my windows.old folder i cannt find my: pictures, music, e.g.I remember doing the same thing with xp and i had to take owner ship of the folder. I think i have took owner ship of my user folder and i still cant find my stuff. Im adminI was admin on my last installI know the stuff is in the folder due to how much space is took up on my drive and when i slect the folder to make it not read only it says mine craft is there.

I am running 64 bit version of win 7 ultimate build 7600. I cant access some files, such as c:documents and settings, which is actually a shortcut. When i go to"users" the files there have a small lock on them but i can still open them up so why cant i open up c:documents and settings? I tried right clicking/properties/security and making changes there but they wont work. I get notices that i cant make any changes

what i did is removing all the folders at "C/users/administrator " to C/users/hec/" the account that i use then i logged off and logged in to the administrator account and removed the folders again from hec account to admin account and refreshed the desktop and then i removerd all the folders from C/users/administrator . . to C/users/hec . .
and i disabled all the account from "computer management" and logged of and and started my PC in safe mode and opened admin account and enabled hec account and disabled all other accounts and then i restarted the PC and opened hec account and now i can see all my files and folders but it says i don't have the rights to access them . .
and when i open any folder in my desktop it shows semi-empty .. like for example my music folder it has nothing . .only the music that came with windows 7 and only the stock photos . . and also all the files and folders and my games . . etc shows with a little golden lock near the icon.

trying to get some help solving an issue my PC is having. I am getting constant blue screens and need to diagnose the problem, but I cannot access my minidump files. I have tried moving them to other folders and also tried using the "take ownership" command. Yet still I cannot get the files to open. I can't open them in wordpad/notepad or even the WINdebugger. I was hoping someone might know how to access the files.

Recently got a new computer with Windows 7 and still learning the in and outs of the machine.I was trying to open some files and folders and I get a error message saying file is not accessible and access is denied . I am the adminstator of the computer with no one else having those rights so why would I have this problem . Can I change a setting where I never receive this message at all or do I have to change settings for every file that I come across that I get this message?

Several days ago I managed to synchronize my computer with my Xbox 360 using Windows Media Center. I don't know what happened between now and then, but my computer seems to have locked my administrative controls. Most of my files I had beforehand are denying me the ability to do anything, except open and view the contents.

I have a Storagebird 500gb external disk full of videos, pictures and stuff. Recently it started to load slowly and when I try to play files from it, it says 'Error -43: a file could not be found ('xxxx.mov'). The HD shows up in disk management and my computer, but I can only access a handful of files. Is there a way to recover the rest of them?

I want to be able to access and change files on my main pc, from my laptop which is in a different room, same with my wife's pc as well.Each time I go the network, I can see the computers, but each time I want to access files it comes up asking for password and user name.I have never set a user name or password and it is confusing the hell out of me to sort this out....
1.do I have to make sure the files are in a particular place, and saved in that place all the time?
2.can I not make "my documents" available to my wife and my laptop, and vice versa if they are swtiched on?
There must be a way to share our individual files and make them read write for ourselves?

I recently reformatted my hard drive so before I moved all the files I wanted to my external hard drive.
So I'm all formatted with Windows 7 Ultimate re-installed and I'm trying to move all the files back. For whatever reason, a couple pictures (.jpg) and a couple videos (.avi) will not move or open. They were all contained in the same folder.
It was saying access denied and I needed permission from S-1-5-....gigantic number. So I changed the ownership and permissions of the files and the folders. Now it says I need permission from myself (Laptop/Kevin). I am the only account and have administrator privileges.

I had Windows 7 Ultimate x64 installed.I caught a virus, could not get rid of it, kept getting forcefully logged off, and couldn't manage anything from safe mode, or do a sys. restore either.Quickly got irritated, and formatted C: drive and reinstalled.After installation I navigated to the D: partition, however, the explorer simply says that this folder is empty. under properties, the D: drive is still 37GB full and 231 GB empty, I do not have any other partitions.

I had Windows XP operating system with users and saved my files on a partition. Just installed Windows 7 and now I can't access the partitioned files due to permissions. If I try to open a file, I get the message "You Don't Currently Have Permission To Access This Folder: Click continue to permanently get access to this folder". If I click continue, it tells me to go to the security tab. Once there, it tells me it's unable to display the current owner. I can still gain access to the specific folder (as an administrator) but not the sub-folders. There are thousands of folders and I would have to do them individually. Is there a way to blanket share all the files on my partitioned drive?

I kept a few hidden files in a USB drive and later in my machine windows 7 OS was reinstalled..when I tried to access it again, all files and folders coming as green and not accessible.
I tried a few things like right-click and turn off "Encrypt content to secure data", or adding my account and giving full permission. But nothing worked.

I've got a laptop with a Windows partition and an Ubuntu partition. I'm pretty sure I just botched an Ubuntu upgrade.What I'd like to do is get my documents off of the Ubuntu partition. Is there a way to access that partition from windows (i.e. the window's partition)?

Recently I have reinstall my Windows 7 (Professional) for some reasons. I use the same version for the new install. But when I try to open my files, some programs said that they can't create folder in the target location (iPod Video Converter), some said that they need administrator permission to put the file I've downloaded (Internet Download Manager), and some said that they can't open the file (Windows Media Player Classic - from K-Lite Mega Codec)

I have set up a Windows 7 machine that has a VPN incoming connection set-up, I have set up my router properly so that someone can connect via VPN, specifically me, from work, and from my laptop when I am out of the house. The reason for the VPN is to have the ability to have access to my files at my home office when I am away from it.
I an using a Mac with OS X 10.7 at work, and have set up the VPN and can see the VPN server that is at the home office, but when I open it, it give a connection failed error.
I can remote desktop with the VPN server, using team viewer and see that there is a connection and that it is my office mac.
Am I missing something that will allow me to view my files? Do I have something configured incorrectly? I have set up my network shares, is there a certain way that I need to set them up?
