Fixed: "Acces is Denied" - Vista 64 - Floppy Disk
Posted: 21 May 2011 17:34
Hi,
Thanks for this great tool.
I am trying to edit some bytes on a 3.5" 1.44MB floppy disk.
I am using a Dell Inspiron 530 PC, running Vista 64-bit Home Premium.
The floppy disk is formatted in MS-DOS 5.0 format.
I have opened the HxD.exe file using "Run as Administrator."
I open the floppy disk, not in read-only mode, so I can edit the bytes. I edit the bytes.
Then, when I go to save my changes, I get the HxD window reading, "The data will be written directly without a backup and changes cannot be undone. Save anyway?" I click on Yes.
Then another window pops up with the big "X" in a red circle. The window header reads, "HxD." The error message just reads, "Access is denied."
Is there any other security setting I need to change in order to be able to save to the floppy disk, or is this just not working?
Thanks again!
