Har drive problems solved
I can't delete files in Windows Vista Home Premium from myn500GB Western Digital Elements external USB hard disk drive. I can't find a Delete option and if I drag a file to the Recycle Bin, it won't go there.
Answer
This looks like a problem t do with permissions or file attributes. Many external hard drives are preformatted and, because they are intended to store backups, are designed to make files difficult to delete. Some backup external hard drives even have a physical read-only switch that makes it impossible to write to or delete them.
Also, if the files were copied from CDs or DVDs, they may retain a read-only file attribute.
If there is no read-only hardware switch preventing deletion and you're using the administrator account (not a user account), you can reset the permissions in order to give full access to the files.
Microsoft Knowledge Base article 326549 called You cannot view or change the Read-only or the System attributes of folders in Windows Server 2003, in Windows XP, in Windows Vista or in Windows 7 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326549/en-uk - provides step-by-step instructions on "how to use the Attrib command to work around the inability to view or to remove the Read-only or the System attributes of folders in Windows Server 2003, in Windows XP, Windows Vista and in Windows 7." Following those instructions, a few clicks should restore tye ability to delete the files.

HARD DRIVE RECOVERY FILE SYSTEMS
An overview of file systems
A file system is a method an operating system uses to arrange data and free space on a hard drive or other storage device so it can be written to and read from. File systems create partitions which are areas of free space than can be addressed by the file system and seen as a logical drives (C: D: etc.) to be written to and read from.
The two file systems used by the various Windows operating systems are NTFS (NT File System) and FAT (File Allocation Table). FAT is an earlier file system, used first in DOS as FAT-16, then later in Windows 9x/ME as FAT-32.
The only major difference between FAT-16 and -32 is in the amount of data they can address. FAT-16 can only use up to 2GB of space on each logical drive, and FAT-32 has no such limitation. Data my look like it has been lost but can be recovered using data recovery techniques
Later Microsoft operating systems like Windows 2000 and XP are fully compatible with FAT, even if it is not the default method they use to store files.
NTFS is used in Windows NT, 2000 and XP and provides a more secure and efficient method of file storage. In addition to allowing security to be implemented on individual files, NTFS also stores backup copies of essential disk information to aid in recovering from disaster.
Both file systems use the Master Boot Record (MBR) and partition table, found in the first sector of each hard drive or storage device. The MBR and partition table determine which partition(s) on the disk are bootable, and locate and pass control to that partition to boot the operating system.
If the MBR or partition table are damaged, the drive will become unbootable, and may appear to be blank if the partition information has been erased.

HARD DRIVE RECOVERY
HARD DRIVE RECOVERY HELP
If you've been using computers for a decent amount of time there is a good chance someone has told you that data stored on a hard drive is not exactly safe. I'm here to assure you that this is indeed true.
Never mind the fact that unlike tapes or CDs or other methods of storage, hard drives are mechanical, active devices and are thus subject to comparatively rapid breakdown.
No, the real threat to hard drives are the people that use them, by which I mean you and me. Hard drives, being the dynamic storage devices that they are, are extremely easy to erase in any number of amusing and simple to achieve ways... as are USB hard drives and flash memory cards (recovery tips for that media is detailed here). Also recently added; How to fix a 1TB hard drive that suddenly changes to 0.0GB, or 32MB in size.
Working as a computer tech during the glory days of Windows XP, you get rather used to using FDISK and other hard drive utilities to prepare and repair customer's drives, which leads to a certain over confidence. That attitude can lead straight to disaster, sort of like giving a 12 year old boy the keys to an ATV.
Picture this if you will; there I was, two or three sentences and a screen shot away from finishing a 5000+ word article on computer upgrades
. All I had to do was fire up FDISK on a dual boot Windows PC system and grab a few screen shots. PCSTATS I figured I'd write a little blurb on how to partition a drive, making sure to tell the readers not to mess with FDISK if they were not sure what they were doing…
Yes, there's going to be some irony here.
So anyway, I wanted to get some more screen shots of the actual partitioning screen, but I did not have a blank hard drive handy. I figured I could use my NTFS formatted XP drive (which FDISK perceived as a blank drive) to start the "process," grab the screen shots
and then cancel the partitioning.
