The Roads To Sata Pdf Files
Hello. I have a question.
I am using Windows 7 Professional. The Professional/Business and higher editions of Windows since Windows XP version have the EFS (Encrypting File System) feature as part of the operating system. This is the main reason why I will not go lower in using/purchasing Windows editions than the Windows Professional/Business line editions.
Okay, I have an issue. Some time ago, I have a PDF file and I placed inside the a folder that happens to be EFS encrypted. When I moved/copied the PDF file into the encrypted folder the PDF file automatically became encrypted too. The text or file name turns from the normal black type to the green type indicating that it is encrypted. Good, I say. It is now secure. When I created the EFS folder I was NOT in Windows 7 Professional. I was using Windows XP Professional when I created the EFS folder. Also, when I created the PDF file and moved it into the EFS folder, I was ALSO using Windows XP Professional as well. (As we know, Windows XP Pro has the EFS technology as well.) WELL, SADLY I LOST MY WINDOWS XP PRO INSTALLATION SOME TIME AGO -- HARD DRIVE FAILURE AND IT IS LONG GONE. The hard drive was sent back to the Western Digital. NOTE: This EFS folder that has the EFS PDF file inside is safe on another hard drive. Now today, I am using Windows 7 Professional that has EFS technology as well. So I am trying to access this EFS folder/EFS PDF file inside with Windows 7 Professional.
Published in 1985, The Roads to Sata is the story of Alan Booth’s epic 2000 mile walk through Japan, from Cape Soya (宗谷岬), the northernmost point of Hokkaido to Cape Sata (佐多岬), the southern tip of the Osumi Peninsula of Kyushu.
Now, I get an acces is denied issue from PDF software programs. I have both the free version (limited version) of Adobe Reader installed (v.9.4) and a program called Nuance PDF Viewer Plus that also is a more advanced PDF application. For your information, I have set the PDF file “Associate a file type or protocol with a program” to the Nuance PDF Viewer Plus to open and view my PDF files. When I open the PDF file in that EFS encrypted file, I have an issue. As the Nuance PDF Viewer Plus opens the encrypted PDF file, I get a message or dialog box in the middle of the screen stating, “Access denied.” Okay, I go ahead and open this same PDF file with my Adobe Reader. Again, I get a similar message that states, “There was an error opening this document. Access denied.”. So I see I cannot open this PDF document that Windows EFS encrypted.
For your information, I did not password protect the PDF file with a more advanced PDF editing software that allows for password protection of PDF documents. So there is no PDF password protection on this Windows EFS encrypted PDF file.
Questions: Please tell me what I can do to still access this EFS PDF file NOW when I am using another Windows operating system that offers EFS.
So what I am looking to understand:
1. Why am I having issues? Please explain.
2. How do I resolve it? Please explain. Do have to only be in my user account of the same Windows operating system I originally created the EFS file or folder in order to open an Windows EFS encrypted file? Please explain.
I guess I do not understand Windows EFS File Encryption system works as it shows.
Please reply.
Thank you!
I just built a PC for the first time. My Gigabyte motherboard notifies me after the POST that I have SATA drives operating in 'IDE MODE'. It asks me if I want to switch to AHCI mode to allow hot swapping. What's the difference?

AHCI, or Advanced Host Controller Interface, is a more featured way of exposing storage adapters to operating systems. It's fairly new as these things go, Win Vista being the first Windows release to have it out of the box, but is definitely the way of the future. Older operating systems, or those that simply lack the drivers, can't use ACHI-mode interfaces and require older parallel-IDE style interfaces to access storage. This is the reason why you always need to add drivers while installing Windows XP to motherboards with SATA boot-drives.
If you can use it, always use AHCI whenever possible.

Only 2 major differences between AHCI and IDE mode.
AHCI allows for hot swapping of hard drives if the motherboard chipset also supports it, and it also enables NCQ for hard drives if they support it. IDE mode does not allow for either of these functions.
There is a small hard drive performance hit when you use IDE mode due to NCQ being disabled.
Intel PDf's on the AHCI standard if you wish to do some reading
MoabMoabIDE mode allows a SATA drive to emulate an PATA drive for installation of OSes that don't support Sata (notably windows xp). Generally you install, update/install drivers, and switch to AHCI mode. If you're running a more recent OS, it should be a no brainer to switch.
