My write protection seems to be activated on all folders.The box where the check is supposed to be is blackened and when I click to remove it, it goes away.However when I try to remove the folder an error pops up and when I bring up the properties again it shows the box is blackened again.I don't seem to have a problem with files, it only seems to be the folders.

I have few files on a 128 MB my Flash memory stick. It won't allow me to ad or remove files from it.It says: Drive can't be written on. Please, remove write protection.According to problem solver there is nothing wrong with the memory stick, or HUBs. Memory stick's on utility program won't allow me to format it. Could it be so that it is jus broken (it's only 4 weeks old)?How do I remove write protection from the USB memory stick?

I recently bought a new Dell XPS and want to transfer some files from my old computer but don't want everything. One computer (Gateway) uses Windows XP Home and the other (Dell) uses Windows XP Media. Is there a way to do this without having to pay someone?

Here's a toughie to crack
2 hard drives, both sata, 120 GB Seagate and 250 GB Maxtor
hooked up to a Asus P4P800SE board with p4 2.53 ghz cpu and 1024 mb of DDR333 ram Windows XP Pro SP2
now.... on a fresh windows install when i copy a file from one drive to the other it goes fast (700 meg file in under 30 seconds)... then I install all my basic software (office, winamp, visual studio, nod32, device drivers for manufacturers website) and following that eventually my performance drops through the floor... it takes like 7 minutes to copy the above mentioned 700 meg file and while at it the CPU usage is high. Process explorer (sysinternals) says that most of that cpu power is taken up by hardware interrupts and I cant do much else when its copying. If i boot with WinPE those files transfer good again... 30 seconds for 700 megs.
SO this is a software problem and what i've done already is
1. disabled my startups
2. double checked that my drives are DMA enabled
3. switched back to standard IDE drivers for the controller (made no difference so i reinstalled the Intel chipset drivers again)
4. defragged the drive
and i'm out of ideas on what else I could try... if anyone has any ideas i'd be greatful. there is no viri/spyware on this machine. its been scanned left right and center

I am currently running Fat32 and as noted in a previous post I am building a new computer. I have copied some files on to cds. What I would like to know (if someone has done this) is that can these files be transfered to the new build as I plan on going NTFS. Will they convert from fat32 to NTFS when copied from the disc or even work at all? Or just out of luck and have to start all over?

Does anyone know how I can transfer my files from my desktop computer to my laptop without having to take the long way around by making a million CDs? My desktop seems to be on its last leg with all the error messages and since it won't let me download any upgrades without the oriignal disc, which I cannot find, it has not been been updated in a while. So, I want to move everything over to my laptop.

I'm quite new to computers so this may seem like a silly question, but I thought I'd ask anyway...I'm due to buy a new computer, but I have many MP3 music/video files on my old one and want to transfer them to the new one. The thing is I don't want to do it my connecting the two PC's ( with a wire/cabel etc.), so I was wondering if there's any other way of doing it?? Could I use a disc for instance (floppy disc??)

I wanted to transfer all my files from one box to another, so I rammed in the gateway hard drive, copied all files in the root of the drive, and pasted it into a folder on my New desktop.When the file transfer finished, the folder (on the New desktop) disappeared... Funny. So, I checked the hidden files in explorer. Not there...Well, I used the command prompt. Not there either. After a while, I forgot about it, and just recently got a new defrag program (SmartDefrag).

I have a usb 2.0 Vantec NexStar 3 external hard drive enclosure, it is packed with a Western Digital 80gig hard drive. After about 10 minutes of continuous use it will go unreconized by my computer and i have to restart the external drive in order for my computer to see it again. Is this a hardware failure in the enclosure or is it my computer? Now, if there is on and off use (like listening to mp3's or videos) it will go a lot longer time before it quits on me.

I am trying to write a batch file that would make a specific program a default over Windows Picture and Fax viewer.Reading on other forums, I've input the following into Notepad:ftype jpegfile="C:Program FilesNeroNero 7Nero PhotoSnapPhotoSnap.exe" "%1" When I right-click on any .jpg file after that, under properties, I see that Nero PhotoSnap is now the default program, but when I open the file it opens in Windows Picture and Fax viewer still.What am I doing wrong? Do I need to add registry changes to complete this process?

I have a really old computer; not to sure what the system specs are like other than it being made by Tiny and having a 4 GB HDD. My mum wants to use the word processor now and then but the printer has broken and she would rather not buy another; partly because drivers may be an issue and partly becuase I have unused retail copies of Windows ME and 2000 that a couple of mates donated and can print off at my Dad's house.The issue with 98 is that I want to be using USB sticks when necessary to transfer word documents over to my Dad's computer running XP to print but 98 does not have the necessary drivers and I think it is impossible to get any; from what I understand that what 98 SE was for.

after reading ms + others I have a couple questions the insert disk can only be a floppy? that can't be right todays pc's only have cd or dvd or possible usb any way to write the backup .bkf file to a dvd instead of some hd other than the c drive? the writeup talks about formatting the entire c drive before the new windows install, is it not possible to just just reinstall windows, in the old windows folder, leaving the drive intact, so you still have documents and settings, program files, etc, so that when the asr restores the os image, all the old programs etc are still there ready to run?

I am a big music downloader (all paid for, thank you)! I'm 55 so I guess I forgot how to download them as individual songs and not have them arbitrarily placed in folders predetermined by Windows. I remember a musicmatch and/or real networks technician told me once how to change my settings so they are captured as individual songs. Probably a simple answer, but I don't remember it.

I cannot install new applications on my WinXP HE. I've tried 10 or more and all give me a similar problem: error during install. some say, that they do not have write access to "program files" dir, but that's nonsense, since the installer installs the directory and some files already.

I just reformated my computer. i have 2 hard drives. one which stores all my system files, os etc. and onther which i use just for storage. When i restarted my computer for the first time since reformating i had a message sayinf somthing alng the lines of: "One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue."i wasnt at my computer so it decided to go ahead and do it anyway. by the time i got to my computer and turned it off, booted it back up and avoided the dick check again on start up it had already deleted 20 gigs of my music files. It was saying somthing about orphened files when it was running through deleting everything from image files to mp3s. please let me know if there is a way to resotr my deleted files or find out exactly what was deleted.

Every music folder in My Music after C (cameo!) has disapeared although I know they are still there - i can still play them in itunes and even open the song folder but if I copy it and drop it back into My Music it vanishes. Windows doesn't even recognise the memory that the missing files use and thinks the folder holds 3 gigs when its more like 30. Just wondering if there is anything I can try before going through the hassle of reformating.
