How to navigate Windows Libraries on Ubuntu - windows

I need to recover the photos from a Windows 7 partition (Windows has been erased) external on a laptop running Ubuntu from a live USB stick. But I am not familiar with the Windows 7 file structure. I accidentally found a folder called Libraries containing all the photos. But now I don't seem to be able to find it again. I understand it is a virtual folder. How do I go about navigating to it again? I have tried systematically going through all the folders; I did find a folder called Libraries, but it is not the same as the one I found earlier on.
Thanks for any ideas.

Android Studio - Cannot Lock System Folders Problem - MAC OS X

Recently I am not successding to start my Android Studio on my MAC OS, despite I had used it several times without problem.
Recently when I attempt to start the Android Studio it pops a big internal error message "Cannot Lock System Folders".
enter image description here
I searched for information, something about this problem on MAC OS, but unfortunately I haven't reached to any conclusion and most of all I cannot use the Android Studio anymore.
Does anyone have came across with this problem and was able to sort it out?
Thanks is advance for any help
I have figured out what was going wrong with Android Studio.
Somehow there's a problem of linkage when user's home folder is moved to other volume different from the one used by the system.
In my case I have moved my Home folder to a secondary drive (ExFat) to be shareable between MAC OS X // Linux // Windows. My main OS is MAC, then ROS and other programming I use Linux and to program some ST microcontroller and design some CAD object I must use Windows.
That was a hit after making all A.S. application's folder 777.
After returning the Home folder back to MAC OS system volume all Java libraries were linked again and the Android Studio started normally.
In my case the problem is partially solved. Need to figure out haw I can make the Android Studio running with my Home folder located in non-system volume.

Internet Explorer times out when using Windows 8.1 VM

When using my virtual machine, I'm trying to gain access to the Internet, but unable to get IE to start, when clicking the icon it doesn't react. I've done some research and a couple of hours troubleshooting, but no luck. It does appear to be a problem for some, but they don't have the exact same problem I do.
Here's what I've come across while troubleshooting:
1) OS is windows 8.1 32-bit, but my host machine is 64-bit, because of this there might be compatibility issues. Not much more on this though, no explanation on whether that is the problem at all.
2) My network settings could be wrong, but I'm attached to a bridged adapter, my IP's match for both VM and Host, and I can access the web when I use a web browser app (but the app that can't download anything, so I can't download google chrome or the necessary files I need to study).
3) Others say that the problem is Windows 8.1 itself. That VMs just don't work as they should like Windows 7.
I clicked to uninstall Windows explorer, but it seems it doesn't exist, and it doesn't have an icon on the home screen.
Could it be that the .iso I downloaded did not have IE included?
The original need for the VM was to test Docker containerisation for a report. Should I scrap the whole idea and try for Windows 7 64-bit instead? That's all I can do if I can't find a solution.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

BootCamp drivers, lost $WinPEDriver$ folder, how to create it

I have an macbook air 2012, I recently installed Windows 10 in it using bootcamp.
I also downloaded the bootcamp drivers, and a folder named "BootCamp" and "$WinPEDriver$" were created in my Windows10 bootable usb. I was able to use it to install Windows10 and use it.
Then due to space issues I deleted the Windows partition, thinking I can always reinstall it, if needed.
Now I wish to reinstall it, but when I took a backup of the bootcamp drivers, I only backed up the "BootCamp" folder, I forgot to backup the "$WinPEDriver$" folder. Without "$WinPEDriver$" folder, Windows10 get installed without the drivers. When I try to manually start the setup.exe in BootCamp folder, it quits saying "$WinPEDriver$" folder is missing. So I created a empty folder named "$WinPEDriver$". With this the driver installation does proceed, but everything except the Broadcom_Bluetooth_Driver are getting installed. I tried to install the Bluetooth driver alone manually, that also didn't help.
So my question is,
Is there a way were I can download the "$WinPEDriver$" folder alone from Apple site. I live in a place where bandwidth is very low, so downloading another 2 GB of drivers will take 3 more days, and may also get interrupted frequently.
Or can I create the "$WinPEDriver$" folder manually, just as BootCamp Assitant creates it.
Or Is there a way to download the bluetooth drivers alone from apple site.
My bluetooth chipset information is Broadcom USB 20702A3.
Thanks.
Just create a blank folder called '$WinPEDriver$'and it'll work, I know you've probably sorted it by now but i thought i'd leave this here in case anyone else runs into the same problem.
I was able to download Apple bluetooth for windows drivers from a Parallels KB article on titled Unable to use Apple Bluetooth USB Host Controller in Virtual Machine
As for the "$WinPEDriver$" it is included in the newest version of Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5769 although it is still large at 542.3 MB it is not the 2 GB you feared it would be.
The download includes both the BootCamp and $WinPEDriver$ folders.
Good luck!
Incase anybody needs this when you open up Bootcamp Assistant below the 'Action' tab there is a download button to install 'Windows Support Software'. You can download from there and plug in to the Windows by using flash drive or hard disk and make the setup.

Trigger Toolkit - Install in non System Drive

I'm new to Trigger.io. I noticed there's no option to choose where Trigger Toolkit will be installed (Windows 7 32-bit). It always installs on C: drive (the System Drive).
My android SDK, AVD are on D: drive. When I go to local config, I can only browse within C: drive. I don't want to keep the Android folder, and even my app code, on System drive (It may have to be formatted without taking a back-up).
So my question is: Can trigger toolkit be installed anywhere, or do I have to copy my Android folder to C: drive? Also, can the Toolkit only browse in the drive it is installed in?
We have a story in our backlog to support switching between drives in the Toolkit - it's definitely on our radar.
In the meantime, can you can manually edit your local_config.json file (sitting alongside your src directory) to include the drive in the relevant paths?

How do I permit Delphi XE2 to see the shared folder on my Mac from within a VirtualBox VM running Windows 7

I am running Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate under VirtualBox (latest version, 4.1.4) on my MacBook Air. I have created a shared folder on the Mac under my user folder. I have granted read/write privileges to this folder to my account. (I also configured it with read/write access to everyone, and that did not make a difference.)
In Windows 7 under VirtualBox, I have added that folder as a shared folder.
From within my Windows 7 VM, I can see this folder, create new folders and files in it, and read folders and files, using Windows Explorer.
The problem is with Delphi XE2. If I attempt to open or save a project to this shared folder, from the Save dialog box the share (which I have currently mapped to a network drive) appears with an red X icon indicating that there is something wrong with it. If I click on this folder, Delphi displays a dialog box with the title "Restoring Network Connection" and a message "An error occurred while reconnecting E: to \VBOXSVR\Demos VirtualBox Shared Folders: The request is not supported. This connection has not been restored."
That I cannot save projects in that shared folder inhibits my ability to easily create iOS apps and generate the necessary Xcode folders using Delphi's dpr2xcode.exe utility. What I have to do instead is to create the project folder locally, run dpr2code.exe to generate the Xcode project, and then to use Windows Explorer to copy the contents of the local folder to the shared folder, where I can then load the generated project in Xcode, compile, and run it.
Does anyone know of any configuration or steps I can take to permit Delphi to see the shared folder as a valid folder?
For the record, and I have seen a similar problem with other versions of Delphi with respect to Folders from a Delphi installation in VMWare Workstation (8.0) running under a Windows 7 host. In those cases, Delphi simply does not display the shared folder.
Switch your VM to "Bridged" networking as opposed to NAT.
In VBox, select your VM, go to Settings > Network > Adapter 1 > change "Attached to" to "Bridged Adapter"
I'm guessing you've already enabled SAMBA sharing on the OSX host (System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing (switch it on) > Options > tick "Share files and folders using SMB (Windows)")
The reason you want Bridged networking is so that your VM is assigned its own IP address, rather than sharing the IP of your OSX host (which is what NAT does).
Give it a shot, let me know if it helps :)
