file system

Hi! I tried installing Debian 9 on my Windows 7 laptop this morning and have managed to break my Windows. I'd like to have it set up so I can choose which OS to boot from at start up. I used the Debian GNU installer to partition my hard drive and install. I am able to start Debian from GNU GRUB...

Just joined. New one for me:: "You don't currently have permission to access this folder" but its not a file problem, it's the USB drive. Tried to change permissions - Administrator has a Red X in permissions. Ch'd to 'Everyone', etc .. doesnt matter. this is weird. Suspect latest...

I wanted to check on which of these partition Ubuntu is installed as I want to delete them from the disk management menu.(disk management pic is attached with this post)

Idk wth is going on but its getting extremely annoying... I have a folder "neard" in c:\ so its c:\neard\ and its a lamp stack. every time I try to delete a folder/file in c:\neard\www it get a administrator required and then it still fails. I've tried setting the permissions and they all show...

When one re-installs windows7 from scratch, what part of the hard drive does it write itself on? Will it overwrite old data, so to speak starting from the first place on the hard drive or will it rather first write in between un-used space? Would it make a difference if the old data had bean...

Hello: Kinda related to a previous thread, but not the same question so..... Awhile back, I backed up my iPhone 5S to a computer. I have sensitive data on in (on the strong end, my clients personal financial data/SSN/cc numbers). I need/want to securely remove all of my phones backup data from...

Assume a hard disk contains a possibly (partially) corrupted Windows 7. I boot now a ToolsCD or USB flash drive with Windows 10. When I open now a CmdPrompt and enter sfc /scannow /offwindir=C:\Windows /offbootdir=C:\ then I cannot do this since the local, active, running WinOS is different...

Assume I have a file D:\aaa\bbb\ccc\ddd.txt Can this file inherit its owner from the wrapping folder? Can folder ccc inherit its owner from the parent folder bbb? Or is inheritance only applicable to access permissions and not to ownership? Peter

Microsoft is apparently working on a 'high end' version of Windows 10 for work stations and the like.. Reference

I know this is a familiar problem, but the explanations I've seen for it are very lengthy, and they didn't seem to apply to my exact problem. Please advise. I get this message: "You don't currently have permission to access this folder. Click continue to permanently get access to this folder...

To keep the story short (and avoid embarrassment to myself)... I have a file (.exe) to which everyone supposedly has full permissions, except that with explorer I cannot delete it, copy it, or move it. I can take ownership of it, but the same situation still exists. I **know** (because there...

Hey, all. I need some help. I just got a new hard drive for my laptop to replace an old one that went bad. Unfortunately, Windows will not install to the laptop (or work, on the one occasion I've succeeded). Every time I've tried to install Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit), it tells me that it...

When I inspect my file system some of my "normal" (=non system) folders then I can see owners like "S-1-5-21-15185678....." or "S-1-5-21-107808153 Why do only approx 30% of all folders have "S-1-5-21-151..." as owner and all others "Administrator"? I dislike these "S-1-5-21-......" owners and...

Hi, This is my first post hoping to find a solution from some Windows guru. My question affects all versions of Windows, which presumably support GPT partitions. I have a USB stick that I partitioned using GPT scheme. I have about 4 or 5 partitions, one of them is an ESP so that I can boot...

Hello, Have this strange folders in my C:.../local/temp directory.. vs.mcj-113109805 File Folder vs.mcj-799792520 vs.mcj602733114 when click on that folder, I got msg That I don't have permission to access this folder. I have an option to get access to this folder. When click "continue" I got...

I am using CreateFile to open a snapshot volume, and ReadFile to read from it. On one system I had an attempt to read 1 mb fail with a CRC error. As I understand it, the drive should be doing its own bad sector mapping, but apparently it's not. I know that NTFS has bad sector handling, does...
