    can not open my pictures and videos
    « on: March 15, 2009, 10:56:06 AM »
    i have a pc with 160 gb hard disk i have saved my all personal  pictures in drive e: and all movies in drive f:
    i had windows vista home premium i had to uninstall it and I installed windows XP pro sp3
    i checked my files in drive E: and F: my files are in partitions but i can not  open my pictures and videos or rename them copy into another partition i see they have size and it seems they are not fake
    windows tells there is program that does not allow to open them
    i tried safe mode too but no result.  I reinstalled XP and strange case happened
    i can open my videos in drive F: now and i can not open my pictures in drive E:
    and i reinstalled XP again but i can not open pictures yet .
    i think there is a problem in formatting of partition.who does know about this problem?

    How many partitions do you have?
    Is Windows installed on C?
    Was only C partition formatted?
    What exactly do you mean, you can't open pictures?

    If you format all bets are off....
    You may have formatted the wrong partition.
    Try taking ownership first...

      when i check partition i see my all files and they have their own icons i open them by "windows picture and fax viewer" it tells : no preview available and Nero photosnap viewer tells : file is not exist
      this problem is exist for other types such as text and doc files too
      when i open a text file in this partition it tells it is not exist
      when i copy new files such as picture or text or video to this partition now . i can open new photos but i can not open old photos before installing  windows XP

      Try to take the ownership of the folder, where pictures are located: http://www.winxptutor.com/ownership.htm
