Hardware Drivers :: Any Way To Read AHCI HDD From ATA Install?
Nov 6, 2013So I switched over to the SATA setup via BIOS in attempt to improve my SSD performance. I knew I had to reinstall on the SSD but my I am not able to read or even format my second HDD that was also in AHCI. Is there any way to (would be awesome if) read, or at least format my drive so I can use it again? I tried disk management and other options within the OS and couldn't format.
it's an MSI 990xa gd-55 mobo. Which I am ashamed to even own because it sucks.

Hardware Drivers :: Can Software Read Temps On SSD
Aug 26, 2014I was wondering with newer SSD's if it is correct or not that programs can read the temperature of an SSD.
Like you can with a HDD.
I am using a program called AIDA64 notice at times my two internal SSD's read 44c.
Two i have are:
Crucial MX100 CT512MX100SSD1 2.5" 512GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive
Crucial MX100 CT256MX100SSD1 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive
Most say they do not get too hot or not really hot at all, due to no moving parts and less power consumed.
Never remember my HDD reaching past 37-38c
2.5" to 3.5" bracket i have fits 2 SSD's and makes them sit close to each other, one above the other in a 3.5" bay.Pretty open around it, i have two case fans, nothing else it getting too hot, but it is summer time here and i do notice a difference compared to winter with rest of the components.

Mar 13, 2013My PC with Windows 8 Pro doesn't read any kind of discs. I first tried a movie then it reads, a little disc appears on the cursor which means that the disc is being read. But all of a sudden, it fails at the end and doesn't read the disc. Even a bootable disc, it just stays black with a blinking line then it fails to read it as well. No errors or messages, it just proceeds to the Windows 8 loading screen.

Sep 15, 2014I have this external hard disk of 500Gb of Verbatim. Previously it was of NTFS format. Then I had converted it into Fat32 because I wanted to write stuff on it from MAC. I transferred movies, pictures, videos, songs, etc in it.
Now, I use Windows 8.1. I connect this hard disk. I hear the sound of it getting connected. But then I can't access the hard disk. As in my laptop doesn't read the hard disk. I read a few posts regarding converting a hard disk from FAT32 to NTFS wiithout losing the files. But I was not sure whether I have the same problem.
I want to transfer all the files in my hard disk to my laptop.
Data CD Not Being Read
Aug 10, 2013I'm concerned that I might have disabled a utility using Task Manager's advice for saving memory.
I put in a Data CD and it isn't noticed. (Audio CDs are rocognized as "Audio CD" with no ID info). I went to the Windows troubleshooting page and clicked the "fix it" link and the CD was picked up but the next time I put one in the same thing happened.
After I fixed it I tried several data CDs that worked but the next time I restarted is when the problem returned.

Sep 16, 2014First, I wasn't sure if this problem is Hardware or Software. I have a Windows 8 HP 2000-2c29WM that has a problem booting.
At first when turning on the machine I get a message about the HDD not being seen or could not read. Second I took out the HDD and replaced it with another one and changed the Bios to legacy and installed Windows 7 for trail to see if I could find all of the drivers ( NO SM bus drivers), during grace period. Third I connected the Windows 8 HDD via USB to see if I could recover any files.
My original thought was a bad or dead HDD, but as it turns out I had no problem reading it. At this point I am not sure if HDD has a bad boot sector or if there is some kind of bug that has corrupted it. I believe I have only a few choices 1. Order recovery disk from HP. 2. Buying a copy of windows 7 or 3. Putting Zorin 9 (UBUNTU) on the machine.
Windows 8 Pro - Disc Read Error
Nov 24, 2012Upgraded to windows 8 pro, worked fine for sometime, but now it does not boot- says either error loading operating system or disc read error. Re installed Windows 8 after booting with another hard drive with winXP, worked fine for sometime, then it failed again displaying the same error messages. Been using this system since long, but this has never happened before. I have reinstalled again by the same procedure, but always wary of the same problem happening again.

View 5 Replies View RelatedDrive D Is Locked Into Attribute Of Read Only
Jul 13, 2014I have a 1.5 yr. old ASUS notebook which has been upgraded from the initial Windows 8.0 to 8.1 and then to PRO several months ago. The PRO was done in an attempt to install the encryption technology, Bitlocker. Shortly after the install of Bitlocker, I found it would not work and traced it back to a discussion with ASUS who said this particular notebook was not built with the ability to be encrypted. (This is the second notebook/laptop in several months that I ran across this!) In any case, Bitlocker is not turned on anywhere, and unfortunately, I can't find any tool to remove it from my harddrive as of yet. I only mention this as a possible bearing on the issue since apparently it embeds itself in the root directory, if I am correct. This problem recently started for some unknown reason I can't contribute anything to.
My drive D: is an extension on the physical drive. When I try to manipulate and files or folders, it comes up with "the media is read only" or "the disk is write protected" all dependent on what I am trying to do and what application is open. It will, of course, allow me to copy files to C:. I have tried the following:
-CHKDSK which found nothing
-FILE CHECKER which found nothing
-PERMISSIONS checked and everyone and everything has full permissions
-DISKPART/ATTRIBUTES ran to check everything and according to the attributes on this volume, there is NO READONLY! I ran the CLEAN command 2X anyway which came up "successful" each time.
-I also ran some quality DISK MANAGEMENT software which could not make any modifications since it views the drive as "Read Only".
Windows 8.1 Can't Read GPT Protective Partition
Dec 13, 2013I'm trying to use a USB SATA/IDE adapter to read a hard drive with a Windows 8.1 64bit install on it, using a Windows 8.1 64bit machine. Unfortunately, despite the drive showing up in Device Manager and in Computer Management -> Storage, it refuses to allow me to do anything with the drive - I can't assign a drive letter, open the drive, browse any files or otherwise do anything with it. Every single option in Storage is greyed out. The drive doesn't show up in My Computer. It's completely unuseable despite being listed as Healthy and Working Properly in the device and storage manager.
I've scoured Google for hours trying to find a solution to this and so far the only thing shining any light on this problem is something being screwy with the GPT Protective Partition. Some sites say certain OSes (name XP and 7) have trouble reading a 64bit partition, but I must emphasize this partition was created by Windows 8 (later upgraded to 8.1) 64bit and is attempting to be read by the same 64bit Windows 8.1 OS.
The adapter is properly hooked up and powered. Windows can detect the drive but accessing it is a no-go. I don't understand how a Win 8 64bit partition can't be read under the same 64bit OS on a different computer. For the record I've tried this on two seperate healthy Win 8 and 8.1 machines with the exact same problem.
All Files Show Read Only In Properties - Cannot Change
Jan 6, 2013Virtually every file shows read only when I right click on it and choose properties. In uncheck read only, then click apply and choose applies to all subfolders and files. Windows appears to change the properties (a window opens up and a green progress bar fills). But if I click OK and close properties, when I look at properties again, they are shown as read only again.
This happens both when I am logged in under my user name, as well as if I log in as administrator.
The only difficulty it's created so far was when attempting ti embed a cover art JPG into an MP3 file in my music library.
C Drive Read Only After Software Install Fails
Jun 2, 2013installing a reputable software app failed and now my c drive is read only and although i can use most of my original programs, i cannot change anything, cannot choose a restore point as it say the administrator (me!) has stopped me doing this.
I cannot start my acronis to get my latest backup (on external drive), yet i can access my email and other programs.
The windows system is actually on a small ssd drive for speed although my C drive is on my normal harddisk.
i get the fault code 0x800704b3 when trying to access programs such as Wise 365.
My Hyper drive manager will not work either.
I can copy and paste and am copying all of the files in My Documents to an external hard drive (where all my Acronis backups are.
I have a sinking feeling that the only option left to me is a complete reinstall somehow as all the options seem to be blocked to me (Restore, Refresh etc)
Getting C unlocked would be a bonus.

View 5 Replies View RelatedNetwork / Sharing :: File Permissions And Read Only?
Jun 18, 2013Two user accounts, both administrator level. I have a file in my documents that my wife's account can READ but cannot SAVE. I've gone in through User Accounts and given her account full permissions (full control with all the boxes checked), but it always reverts back to her not being able to save any file in my directory.
FWIW, I have all accounts on a separate D: drive. Only windows 8 and programs are on C:.
Also, Read only status. I see the dot (not a check) when I select properties from "my documents". I remove the dot, task window comes up and all the file names whiz by. Then, I look and ... again, the dot is present.
What is the purpose of the dot vs the check mark. They seem to have the identical effect on sub-directories and files within sub-directories.
Windows 8.1 - Transferred Files / Can't Turn Off Read Only

View 7 Replies View RelatedOptical Drive Often Won't Read DVD Data Disks
Sep 17, 2013Both optical drives are shown as working properly in Device Manager, but 70% of the time will not read data DVD disks. That includes data disks burnt using Nero and ISO Joliet format; and either mutli-session or finalized after burning. And disks formatted like a flash drive in UDF format using Windows 8 burning software. And is the same for R or RW +/- disks.
Rebooting sometimes fixes the program, other times not.
I have an Intel mob and CPU but Intel do not support drivers for Windows 8 so all drivers are generic Windows 8. Running driver update from device manager says all drivers are up to date.
I also intermittently, but regularly, get the printer and webcam USB2 drives not detecting these devices. And occasionally the USB3 external hard drives. USB drivers are also up to date.

View 7 Replies View RelatedAccounts :: How To Grant Read Only Access Of Drive To User
Aug 18, 2014I have a admin account and a normal user account say XXX.
I have a drive (say Z), to which I want to restrict access to the user XXX. The user should be able to read the documents and view the videos in the drive. However, he should not be able to delete/modify the files in the drive or write new files to the drive.
I have gone through: Permissions - Allow or Deny Access to Users and Groups in Windows 8. I'm not comfortable with command prompts or registry keys, so I tried option three (Change Access Permissions in Advanced Security Properties).
By default, the user had permission for "Read, Read & execute, List folder contents" only. However, even with these I found that the user could delete and modify the files/folders in drive Z. So, I denied the following: "Create file/folders, write attributes/extended attributes, delete subfolders/files". This seems to serve my purpose.
Now I wish to know two things:
1) Am I doing the right thing or messing up something?
2) There was a radio button "Only apply these permissions to objects and/or containers within this container". This I had left unchecked. Should I check this? The window (see attachment) clearly states that these permissions apply to "this folder, subfolder and files". Is this just a redundant option?
