Tip 1: Why can not I access the drives?


Those times when all the information usedcomputer, located only on one disk, have been a long time. Today, users can access files on a large number of different media - hard drives, CDs and DVDs, flash drives, etc. And if you consider that such carriers can be connected several, and even add resources to the local network and the Internet, then the user can literally juggle with dozens of disks. However, this can be hampered by an annoying error in accessing disks.



Why there is no access to disks


The reasons for errors of access todisks, can be conditionally divided into several groups. One of them is the unpreparedness of the drive itself to work with the operating system. Before writing or reading from such a medium, markup must be marked on it, which will be understood by the version of OS you are using. This process is called "formatting" and is implemented either by the system itself, or by programs specifically designed to work with this type of disk. For example, if you insert an unformatted floppy disk or optical disk into the appropriate reader and try to access it using the file manager, you will receive an error message in response. Another group of reasons for unavailability of the drive include problems with the user's access rights. The security policy that manufacturers put into the operating system, splits all computer users into groups, each of which is allowed certain actions, while others are prohibited. In particular, you can also close the access to the files of a disk for the user whose account you used to log on to the system. Especially often this problem occurs when users access the OS system disk by users who are not members of the system administrators group. All these rights are set by the administrator, but there may be a malfunction in the operating system itself, which will lead to corruption of the access table entries and, accordingly, to disk inaccessibility. The third group includes errors resulting from lack of access to the disk for technical reasons. For example, if it is a network drive, it can be displayed in your file manager, but the network computer where it is hosted can be disabled. In this case, when you try to access a network drive, you receive an error message. A similar error will be thrown by the operating system when you try to access a DVD drive installed in the reader, which can only work with CDs, etc.

Tip 3: Why the archive does not open


Creating an archive is an excellent opportunityreduce the amount of raw data. Such actions can be useful when placing files on the Internet or writing them to external media. However, sometimes users encounter problems when opening archives.



Why the archive does not open


One possible cause is damagearchive during its creation, or copying. For example, when downloading from the Internet or saving from a CD-ROM, an error could occur, as a result of which some changes occurred with the archive. If you have access to the original file, try to copy it again. If you do not have access to the original, use the function called "Archive healing" (or "Repair"). It is used in popular programs such as WinRar and WinZip. However, practice shows that such actions do not help in all cases. Another reason may lie in the damage to the media on which the archive is stored, for example, a floppy disk or a CD-ROM. If the archive file is located on the computer's hard drive, the problem may be the corruption of the sectors that are used to store the file. Open My Computer, right-click on the required local drive and select Properties. Click the "Tools" tab, click "Check", check the "Automatically correct system errors" check box and click the "Run" button. Another common reason is to try to open the archive with the wrong program by which it was created. Some archivers can use any functions that the other application does not support. To open such an archive, it is advisable to try to find out which program was used to create it and use it. Finally, the fourth possible reason is the use of the old version of the archiver. For example, if an archive was created using one of the latest releases of the program, and an attempt to open it using an outdated version, then there is a high probability that it will not be opened. In this case, it is recommended to update the archiver used.
