View 9 Replies View RelatedSince 2 days ago I've noticed that I cannot create a new folder with File Explorer by any way possible. Using the taskbar or the SHIFT + Ctrl + N. Even when saving projects with Save File as... and trying to use the "New Folder" text string button does not create any folder. Using CMD prompt or powershell all works well as with Total Commander which i only installed to see if it could create folders and it does. Other programs that auto create folders also works well (i.e. Foobar when transcoding to new unavailable folder). My Windows 8 Pro is original, it's a 4 month old install, I've not made any customizations, no registry hacks, Windows is bare apart from Classic Shell which i only use now as a custom button to go to start screen with the mouse. I also made a custom High Contrast Theme that i use at night or when eyes are a bit tired. It's 2 months old so it's there long before the problem.I've not installed any new programs in the last week apart from some updates from FileZilla, Foxit pdf and Notepad++.Last system update is COPICOM from 13 July.I followed this guide which as not resolved the problem: I cannot find a way to create a new folder in Windows 8. -

The error says this: "An unexpected error is keeping you from creating the folder. If you continue receive this error, you can use the error code to search for solution of this problem. Error 0x80070570: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."
I tried all the possible options to solve this problem except for reinstalling the Windows.

View 4 Replies View RelatedFirst, 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.
Upgraded 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 4 Replies View RelatedI'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.
I have windows 8.1 on a computer I am just trying to start using. However, when I transfer any of my personal files from the old computer they all end up as read-only. I try to change them, but they always revert back to read-only. The directories in the new computer are classified as read-only also, and cannot be changed. How can I solve this?

Well, I tried all of them and everytime I insert a DVD movies, the multimedia software hangup when trying to read the DVD. What's up with my setup?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI had to reinstall windows. I had a raid 0 with 2 drives, when I started widows the drive couldn't be accessed. so the only option was to convert to dynamic disk. I did that but still cant read or change drive letters. I am pretty sure my data is still on it. but how can I read this disk?
right now I am scanning it with easeUS data recovery and it looks like its finding files. any other way to read the drive?
raid was made with the bios
My 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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I have a toshiba laptop running windows 8. I went to delete photos off a usb when my laptop froze. I turned off the laptop by the power button waited, then when I turned the laptop back on it came up with the message
A disk read error occurred press ctrl alt del to restart
Each time I press ctrl alt del it returns to this message. I can only go to F2 or F12.
I'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.
I cant disable the READ ONLY attribute! I tried everything but nothing works. I tried RUN as administrator with this code: attrib -r "C:ProgramSIMCITY*.*''
