Someone hacked into my pc. What i try to access is my computer hidden internet security zone. This person created this zone accustomed to his needs and how i access this drive as is gone now and i read that key registry from 21-47 would make the drive visible but not able to locate that drive. Also there are signs of compression, encryption and password protecting of my files and folders and can i reverse the same.
I am using Windows XP, Sv. Pk.2. on a 3 year old Dell desktop. I recently had to do a complete uninstall and reinstall. I backed up everything on an Iomega external hard drive using Acronis True Image software. Everything worked fine and I have all my files back, except for my email address books (7 Of them) and my saved email folders (about 20 of them). I use Thunderbird for my email. The email data are all in my hard drive but are in hidden files. I can locate them but cannot figure out how to open them and read them - and neither can I import them. Here is an example for just one file: abook.mab C:Documents and SettingsWilliamApplication DataThunderbirdProfiles|zvcjz11s.default
All files are "Read" files and this is the message I get when I click on "Read" : Adobe Reader could not open 'abook.mab'
The folder options seem to have vanished from my control panel n nothin that i do can help me access my hidden files.

View 14 Replies View RelatedNo matter what I do, when I change the properties of a single directory to either show or not show hidden files and folders, that property then changes in every single directory on the whole drive. I do not click on "Apply to All Folders", I just go to the directory of interest and change the button in Folder Options>View and press "OK". Is there a trick here? Basically I want some folders to show hidden folders, and others to not show them. Right now it's either all or nothing! Again, I am NOT pressing apply to all, which I know will apply all view settings to every folder.

A little over a year ago I purchased a used IBM Thinkpad laptop from ebay for my wife. It came with Windows 2000 Professional installed and everything worked fine. No CDs or floppies came with the computer. A couple of months later, it was stolen by one of her business associates. It eventually was recovered, but the thief had installed Windows XP along with the OS that was already installed. In trying to remove XP and return the machine to its original state, I somehow managed to eventually not be able to use either OS. As it stands now I have no OS and cannot even access my hard drive.When I boot from a floppy then try to change to C: drive, I get the error message: Invalid media type reading drive c: Abort, Retry, Fail?

I have WXP Home, a 160gb HD. Asus Motherboard. I partitioned the C drive with Paragon 9 and moved all my data to the D drive due to some problems and had to format and reinstall windows on the C drive. when I finished and rebooted I could access everything. A short time later I could not access the D Drive, the error message said that I did not have permission. No explanation, Just locked out. I can access folders on the D drive if I search for a folder then copy them across from the search window into the C Drive, or if I boot into Safe Mode. That is no good. I need access from My Computer by clicking on the D Drive Icon. Any suggestions.

View 1 Replies View RelatedRunning Win XP Pro SP2.I recently upgraded to the latest version of iTunes for Windows (v 4.9) and iTunes seems to have hijacked one of my CD drives (its actually a DVD-R drive). If I put an audio CD in it, iTunes sees and can play the disk. But I can't access either data or audio disks with non-iTunes apps, e.g., Windows Explorer. If I try to access the drive from Explorer, I get the message "D: is not accessible. Incorrect function." I get the same "incorrect funtion" error if I try to access D: from a Command Prompt.As I recall, when I was doing the iTunes update, there was a message to install it a second time because it needed to "update" registry entries relating to the CD drives. Apparently, iTunes changed some registry entry so that my D: drive is no longer accessible to anything else.

View 2 Replies View RelatedLast week, my primary hard drive crashed. Unfortunately, it has very important data and was not backed up. My computer runs Win XP Pro has two NTFS hard drives. "C" drive, which is the boot drive, and a "D" drive. When the crash occured (and I have no idea what caused it, I came home and found the computer with a "Load Error"; System haulted message), the computer would no longer boot the OS. As mentioned above, it would run through POST and get to the point where the OS loads and stop. The message "Load Error!" would appear and then say to hit any key to continue. When you hit a key, it would then give "System Haulted!" and freeze up.When I put in Norton Recovery disk in and boot up from that, I can "see" the drive contents including all the directories and files. But Norton will not allow me to copy those files anywhere. When I use Microsoft Remote Console, I can see the root directory of the drive but when I try to access a subdirectory, I am told "Access Denied". (Yes, I have Admin rights)
So today, I bought a brand new Hard drive and installed it for Drive "C". Drive "D" was removed altogether and the old Drive "C", (the one that no longer loads the OS) was moved to drive "D". Then I reinstalled Windows XP Pro. I was hoping that I could "see" the drive from within Windows XP Pro and copy the data from the old drive to the new drive. But that is not the case.When I look at the "Disk Management" console in Windows XP Pro, I can clearly see the both drives listed. It shows Drive "C" as "Healthy (System)" and it shows the other drive without a drive letter assigned to it. It shows it as "Healthy (Active)". However, it will NOT allow me to assign it a drive letter. Nor will it allow me to Mark the new Drive C as "Active". As for the other old drive which does not have any drive letter assigned, the only option it gives me is to delete the drive partition, which I cannot do otherwise I lose all my data. So how can I access this drive? Why will it not let me assign a drive letter? I am in a state of panic and I cannot get any help from Microsoft.
