I need a little help - I am trying to take the data from hard drive to another laptop using Sata Hard Drive (2.5" Serial ATA Hard Drive Enclosure). However, it is successfully recognized as E drive but the drive says it is empty. My user account has administrator access (full control)
I am able to see the drive as E drive
When E drive is opened, it says the folder is empty
This is the view including the hidden files. It shows only the system data from the SATA drive but not from the old laptop
The reason of this data transfer is that my laptop faced blue screen while starting Windows. Bios is working fine, so I tried system recovery from the latest backup. However, it crushes at some point. I attempted a few times but seems like when it reads the same point.
It would be appreciate if someone could advise on this. Thank you in advance.
This issue has been resoled with installation of MiniTool Power Data Recovery.

I was given a new 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive for Christmas. I have just downloaded a 4k version of a movie that is 4.53GB and I am trying to copy that file to the USB stick however whenever I try my laptop shows me a message saying the file is too large for my USB drive. However that is plainly not the case as it has 28.6GB free and should leave me with over 24GB after copying.
I am not sure what is using up the first 4GB on the drive as the existing SanSecureAccess folder and files are only 10MB or so. Therefore something hidden is using up the best part of 3GB on a brand new USB stick I have just popped out the wrapper. What I don't know but even so with 28GB I should be able to copy the file to my USB.
Is there some sort of limit on the size of a file you can "copy" and then "paste" from a folder to another drive in Windows or something, as that is the only thing I can think of as there is plenty of room so unless there is a process preventing the copy n paste I don't know what is going on.
I have had this issue many times before with files that are over a GB or so, when I have tried to copy them to USB sticks with plenty of space however the PC always shows me a message saying the file is too big for the USB drive when it isn't. However this is brand new USB stick just opened and nothing else has been copied to it.
I don't know if it's an issue with my PC, the file or the USB. I have got a new HP laptop for XMAS so I could try copying it once I have set that new laptop up but I am not sure why I would get issues on my current HP 64bit, laptop anyway.
Here is a screenshot of the folder, the message, and you can see how much space is on the drive as it's brand new.
Any help would be appreciated as I have no clue to why something that is only 4.5GB is too large for a 32GB drive.
Try to format your usb flash drive and you will see a choice of system file change it into NTFS
look like this
for USB Flash Drive ussualy the default setting was FAT32, there will be 2 option NTFS and FAT32, choose the Ntfs :)
I'm making my own OS from scratch, called "bnbzb OS". I just managed to check if any floppy drive or ATA drive is present, and check the size if it's a floppy drive. I now want to actually read/write contents from the ATA drive or at least a floppy drive. Can anyone help me with doing that?
Because it's a lot of code I was going of put a link to GitHub, but it stops when only 2 files left to upload, so I uploaded it to Mediafire(in a .zip file): http://www.mediafire.com/file/bxaoulxs0uh04b5/bnbzb_os.zip/file
Ah, and please don't complain about my horrible OS organization or my bad English, I'm a spanish 13 year old student that loves programming.
We have a bootable USB stick that works perfectly. It will boot, ask the user for some options, then write files to the hard drive accordingly. We did this by using rufus-2.1, throwing freedos into the USB stick, and basically hijacking autoexec.bat. Autoexec.bat now executes some separate .bat scripts based on user input.
The problem is, we now want to have an option to allow users to burn an iso to a cd or dvd. We've been trying to create an image of the USB stick and burn it to a DVD.
We found plenty of information on this subject, but nothing has worked. We started by extracting the bootimage from various bootable iso files using imgburn. None of these worked. We tried extracting the bootimage from our USB stick, and that also didn't work.
Next we tried WinImage. We extracted the boot information from boot98.exe, hijacked autoexec.exe, created a new image and injected the files. We saved the files as a bootimage and tried the above method again, which also didn't work.
Is there perhaps a more straightforward way to execute DOS .bat scripts through cd/dvd boot? We'd be open to something other than DOS as well, as long as it can write files to a hard drive based on user input through a simple boot interface.
Note: The computer itself does not contain an operating system.
Thanks.
We found a very slick setup that does what we need. Unfortunately, the CD-ROM drivers do not work properly on modern DVD drives. Using this method, it should be possible to put all the scripts directly in autoexec.bat and run commands directly on the "simulated" floppy drive. For whatever reason, we can boot from the "floppy" section of the CD-ROM, but it cannot copy files from A: to C:. I believe we are very close, but no cigar.

First method that actually produced a bootable CD and allowed scripts to be run by a choice entered by the user.
How can I hide the removable drive e.g. flash memory from the user in the MS Windows explorer ?
I want to hide the removable drive from the user and then do some operation on that e.g. delete some files or read some files from that and then show the drive to the user .
I was try to block the drive but when it become blocked I can't do any operations on it so I changed my approach to only hide the drive from the user .
I must do this with pure c and win32 api if needed .
Thanks a lot , good luck .
It should be pretty simple. There's a registry entry that is a 32 bit number that has a 1 in place where a drive should be shown. If you can extract the drive letter that you want, it should be as easy as then just editing this registry entry (which can be done with winapi i believe).
http://genesisdatabase.wordpress.com/2010/10/12/reading-and-writing-registry-in-windows-using-winapi/
Above is the winapi functions for editing registry. Just change it to hide the drive after extracting the letter.
Then edit this value:

And then change the registry value again to show the drive. You don't want to unmap the drive, because that's a different concept than hiding the drive.
I had an old DVR system which I was recording my CCTV cameras
with it. Product is:

Chn-1TB-LXAPOPROLITE-8-1TB
Now I found my CCTV disk, it's normal 1TB HDD. I want to see RAW
videos recorded from CCTVs in this HDD. File system is not
detected by FindAndMount, Partition Magic, Recover My Files, etc.
Windows says it's RAW disk.
I can't access videos, but when I open disk image and read sector
by sector I see data there. How can I properly read and extract
data from this disk?
Thanks
These are stored in xfs or a linux file system on this unit,
go to pendrivelinux.com and get a windows installer to make a bootable pendrive.
I prefer ubuntu or debian, choose one of the two and make a thumb drive on a fresh thumb drive.
boot that up on a computer, plug in the dvr drive via USB-ide/SATA converter (About $14) most places.
you should see the disk mount and the files will be viewable.
you can then plugin a NTFS formatted hard disk and copy those off to the external drive and view them in VLC player for windows videolan.org
