Recently, when I move some files and folders to another location on the same hard drive and try to play it, it appears dialoge "Access is denied" for folder and "Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected or used by other program" for files. It can't even moved or renamed or copied.\n   I am very sure that free space is enough for them and none program is using it since the PC is on fresh restart without anything starts together with Windows.\n   Everything i've done is just MOVING and this just happen to a specific group of them. They used to play well.\n   Every answer is appreciated :-)

You know what!? I've had some pictures in a folder I din't want to share, and I tried puting a password to it. You right click on the folder and ther eis an option that says security, but you have to give other people a different password to the whole computer to make it work! I think this may be an XP problem, but someone else may know more...\n\n\nGood luck\nJohn

Moving a computer doesn't normally cause that kind of problem, unless you dropped it or something.\n\nIf the hard drive is working, but is "wiped clean" (totally erased, operating system and all), or even partially erased, the most likely explanation is that someone (accidentally or on purpose) erased it.\n\nIf you describe exactly what happens when you turn the computer on, I might be able to help you diagnose the problem better.

I have used more than one copy of windows on the same hard disc, on different partition. When I boot my computer, windows will list the different copies of windows and allow selection of one to use. Must be on different partitions. Also, be careful when asked what location to store files, as windows will get confused sometimes and try to store files from one copy with other copy of windows. Be aware that your second copy will not use "drive C" as the main drive. I have 2 copies now and my second copy recognizes "Drive F" as my "C" drive. It will work though. Be safe to backup your files before starting.

It seems to me that the best way to protect files and folders is to make them private and only accessible on your account. This means that if you do not have an account, you need to create one with a password. Or if you have one but no password, add a password. \n\nTo make a folder private so that only you can view its contents, right click the folder or file and select "properties." Under the "sharing" tab, check the box that says "Make this folder private." These are instructions for Windows XP, so the process will differ if you have another OS, but should be similar with another version of windows.

I'm not sure if I completely understand your question, but it sounds like want to either overwrite (replace) existing files you save to the file server, if the file on your computer is newer then the one already there. And basically not do anything with files already on the server that are exactly the same (file name, size, and date) as the ones on your computer.\nIf this is the case, then it should be the permissions of the folder that you're saving to on the server. Keep in mind if you're saving files to a folder inside a folder on the server, then the parent folder will typically be the only folder you can change the permissions on for all files and folders in it.\nTo change this you'll need to login on the server, you'll need Administrative rights and you'll have to physically be at the server, or logged in using a remote desktop client. Open the folder that contains the folder that you are trying to save files to across the network. Right click on the folder your trying to save to, left click on Properties in the drop down menu. A new window will open, at the top find the Sharing tab, then click on the Permissions button. In order to prevent duplicates of the same files being created you'll have to grant write/overwrite permission to each user independently or to a group. You need to uncheck the option at the bottom that inherent permissions from the parent folder, though this doesn't always work the way it seems like it should.\nHope this helps, if not, I'm sorry I was taking a shot LOL. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.\n\n***Revised Answer***\n\nI wont lie, I don't get much time with Mac's, but on the up side I understand your question now. \nOn the down side the only thing I can think of is to set up a cron job to get rid of them every once in a while. Since Mac's only create a ._ duplicate file when they modify/create a file. Let me know if this helps any.

it works like this: when u delete a file windows marks it as "Delete" its really not gone, it just pushes it to the end of the HDD. It can slow your computer down a lot!! If u are not good with computers u will need a software program to find those file for u, it searched each sector of the HDD for file marked "Delete"

on IE this is the facility provided. suppose if u r downloading a large file n in between it is disconnected. then wat happens if it goes directly to the destination folder? there wil be a corrupted file(ie. partially downloaded file)\nso to avoid this kinda problems windows gave this option. first the file gets downloaded in temp folder n after its fully got into the system it moves to the reqd destination.\nthis process wil be there for all size files even for 1kb size files. since they r small v cant c the transaction.\n\nn for each files in temp the system allocates a name. tat is the memory block of tat file in the harddisk. tats all. theres no problem with ur system. it occurs in all the systems. if the ram n clock speed is high in ur system then this transaction time wil be less, since they r inversel proporsional... got cleared???

Have you ever tried to play a music CD in that drive? Do it once and push on the eject button while playing - if the drawer open, then the drive is ok.\n\nBut in your case it seems like the installer program keeps the drive locked, so you can't open it (this would be an error in the installer task of that game). Try to open the drive via this little pinhole - maybe you can then continue with the installation of that game - maybe.

figure out what types of games they are bringing in and restrict those types of files from executing.  you could cut back the user permissions on the systems to read only access. (so they can't add to anything on the computer, but can still execute existing programs.

The system has to take up some room. I think it doesn't count the drive space used by the system programs and libraries. The amount it gives you is the amount you're free to work with. Plus, you probably won't be using all of that up anytime soon anyway.

This would happen if you:\n1- rename the target file\n2- change its path\n3- move it to another folder\n4- rename on of its path folders\n5- delete the file\n\nCheck out these cases

ouch ouch ouch! big problem! here is what i would do (hopeing that your account is not password protected) take that hard disk out of that PC set it to SLAVE MODE (there is a jumper on the DRIVE for that) and put it in a nother PC running windows XP and copy your files FROM it to a DVD and you FAVORITS (will take some searching ro locat it) what i would do is just back the the WHOLE DOCUMENTS AND SETINGS folder if there is a LOT in there will take more then 1 dvd.. most PC have OWNER has the user ID  open the DUCMENTS AND SETINGS folder and look for that one copy that WHOLE FOLDER to a DVD or something (make sure you enable the SHOW HIDING FILES AND FOLDERS ) and things liek that SHOW PROTECTED OERATING SYSTEM FILES }}  that is the ONLY way to back it up safely  has if you use your FACTORY RESTORE you will wipe your user files clean, and OH THE PAIN OF THAT i have felt it meny times  tell i invested in a DVD BURNER and some DVDS and back it up on a normal bases ( now i have a nother hard disk i save all my GOOD files to :D) if you need more info ask me at dustinmichaeljohnson@yahoo.com  i be glad to help has i can good luck ... p.s.  windows XP can be a PAIN when it gets messed up but is a GOOD operating system when it's working properly, i feel you have a virus but sences it's not booting there is nothing that can be done just watch it next tine when you get it going here is a link for some FREE antivirus software http://www.free.grisoft.com   it's FREE so no money needed just download the FREE one and install... it's not the BEST there is but it's better then NOTHING i used it and it gets most of what i have cource what it don't find is mostly spyware  i used other for that it's primary used is for VIRUSES and TROJENS only :D so talk later

Hi,\nIt generally happens that due to power failure or any other Disk I/O error, windows does not successfully close the files. In such a case, it considers them as lost file fragments and converts them all to .CHK extension with a trucated length.\nYou may be able to play the songs (though I have never seen such a thing happening). So, the best thing you can do is to change the extensions manually to .mp3 and continue using the files as you did earlier on.\n\nTo prevent any such incidences in future, always shut down your PC and dont switch is off directly.\nUse a UPS if possible

When installing XP, did you change the directory in which it was installed to? If you didn't and it was installed to its default location, then don't worry about it. Multiple installations of XP in the same directory is not a threat. It simply copies the program files over and over but does no harm and takes up no more space on your harddrive than a normal installation. \n\nIf you did change the directory that XP installs to, then you should just start fresh over and reformat and do it again --- once!

You may want to run a virus scan on it.  It doesn't sound good.  Try to backup your data file as soon as possible.  The last resort is to format your drive and start over with installing windows.  Good luck.

hi there,\n    oh yea, most of us have this problem, ok here we go, first of all in win XP there is a system restore feature, which eats a lot of disk space, last week I retrieved 1.2 gb from my friends harddrive by disabling system restore.  So, if you are sure that you pc in future will not require SYSTEM RESTORE feature then disable it by RIGHT CLICK on MY COMPUTER - > PROPERTIES - > then select SYSTEM RESTORE tab, then, using settings turn off system restore for all drives. this will save more space.\n\nAnd regarding the files you want to delete, open the search box below the LOOK IN box click WHAT SIZE IS IT?, then specify the estimated size like starting from 512000kb(500MB) (for every MB add 1024 kb), then click on MORE ADVANCED OPTIONS check the boxes of SEARCH SYSTEM FOLDERS(IF U WANT),SEARCH HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS, SEARCH SUBFOLDERS. thats it, by specifying these results you can search for a specified sized files even if its hidden.\n\n   I think the files in the temporary folders (TEMP N TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES) are not shown, for that go to ur system drive then DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS->(select ur login id)->LOCAL SETTINGS, in this folder you can see the two temporary folders, try to search those folders individually using search options.\n\nthats it\n see ya,\nK.A.G.S.
