Q: I upgraded my PC and my old 80GB Seagate hard disk reuse is divided into two partitions. I have a fresh install of Windows on my system partition (C:) after a format, keeping the documents of the partition (D:) then got intact.
I a new hard drive (200GB) and had both new and old connected to simultaneously transfer files. During this short period of time I have the names of the partitions on the smaller drive to OLD_System OLD_Documents.
After 80GB Seagate and I moved back to the old PC again and did a fresh install of Windows on the system (C:) partition.
Now when I try to open the second (D:) volume I get an error that I do not have permission to do that change. I checked the Security tab and everything seems to be normal to the administrators with full privileges and rights to the volume (ie the root). I tried to play with the tab control and ownership options, but nothing helps.
Can anyone help me solve this problem? Access to all files in order seems to be, its just that I can not rename the volume. And it sucks that named OLD_Documents .
Thanks in advance!
Re:Ya, in command prompt type "label c:" for c: drive or "label d:" for d: drive. Hopefully it works.
Re:"label" will change it in DOS.
Re:Capital idea! Will try the safe mode thingie.
How do I go about changing the volume in command prompt? Same as in the old DOS days? volume.com or .exe or whatever there is?
Re:Yah, you have corrected the smileys issues after you edited it.
To check for encryption, if your file system is NTFS ( show in properties of your C: or D: ) then encrypted files & folders will appear in green color.
Your case seem strange. So now is your sister who need to rename the OLD_Documents, ask her to try rename by using command promt or in safe mode & see.
Re:Bump for ideas. Please.
Re:Hmm.. I took the old system to my sister's for her to work on, so that would be a real pain in the bottom if I have to get the old HDD back with the new. Don't think there's any file system encryption, but where do I check to see that?
About the C: and D: – did they get converted to smileys? I have those disabled so that's why I'm asking.. ![]()
Re:Try to connect both harddrive at the same time at your new PC again. Choose the 200GB to boot & then try to rename the OLD_Documents & see
Can check whether you use any file system encryption.
I know your (C:) = ( C: ) & (D:) = ( D: )
