  • 27-a010 all-in-One Pavilion: why the hard drive from my old computer Toshiba displayed on my new HP c drive?

    I got this new computer on Monday. The reason why I bought a new was that I suspected that my old Toshiba got compromised. I even bought a new Linksys router that was AC 1900. My new HP computer has McAfee and uses MicrosoftEdge browser. There are several interesting questions, I hope that experts from HP can answer for me.

    1. why my old Toshiba drive appears on the hard drives in the Device Manager?

    2. Why are there readers D two on disk management? Can't update my Windows 10. I bought a new computer.

    3. why hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys, swapfile.sys, BOOTNXT appear on my drive C Windows?

    The above synptoms are normal? I need to do something about these questions or just leave them along? I have a microsoft all in one account.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Hello

    I don't see your screen but:

    1. new machine uses Toshiba HDD, not your old machine of Toshiba. HP uses HARD disks with many suppliers, including Toshiba.

    2. Yes, it is normal. One with the file system is the real, without file system is a shadow one.

    3. normally, they are hidden system files, you can hide them if you wish.

    Kind regards.

  • Built a new computer, kept the hard drive from my old computer but had Vista OEM

    I have set up a new computer, but kept my hard drive to save money, I did not know that that I was not allowed to do, and now I'm stuck without a computer! Rather than buying a new copy of windows is it possible to get my renewed series and re - install off a friends Vista CD? I'm in the United Kingdom if it makes a difference to contact departments/services on this subject.

    If Vista is preinstalled on your computer, or you purchased an OEM disk/license, it is non-transferable.

    The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
    You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

    If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
    But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

    A single license is a single Installation.

    See you soon.

  • How can I get my favorites on an old hard drive and transfer them to another hard drive?

    the motherboard is dead on my old desktop - but the hard drive is still usable. I got a new office and a friend added the old hard drive from my old computer (which has all my favorite firefox somewhere) on my new computer. Now I have two hard drives on a computer - one that came with the new computer - and my old - so, I'm now able to move all my pictures and files, etc. - and even found the bookmarks of Internet Explorer - but, I can't seem to find bookmarks in firefox. I look under Program Files - and I have-see Mozilla Firefox but don't see the bookmarks. I have searched for it - tried the answers that the mozilla site says to do it - but I can't find them. can anyone help? Thank you

    Bookmarks are not stored in the Program Files folder, but rather in their own folder profile 'hidden '.
    This link will show you where Firefox holds all of your information and what are the files to be transferred through

    To access your profile folder, while in Firefox, click the new menu button on the right side of the navigation bar, click Help, and then click troubleshooting information. In the Applications section base, click the Show folder. The window that opens will be your profile folder.

    Because you want your bookmarks, you should enter places.sqlite and then put them in the profile folder in your new hard drive with Firefox closed

    I couldn't change them to read-only.  Fortunately after the computer restarts several times it work itself.

  • How can I get Windows 7 to read RAW hard drives without having to format the hard drive due to important work on this subject?

    Original title: the file format of external hard drive is the RAW and not NTFS. How can I get Windows 7 to read RAW hard drives without having to format the hard drive due to important work on this subject?

    I put the hard drive on an XP and Vista machine and can read the hard drive, but not with Windows 7

    Hi Zling,

    It works on other OS? When did you finally read the disc and with what OS? If you can read the drive and make a backup of the data on this subject, I you suggest to backup the data on the drive and then put it in using the NTFS file system.

    I hope this helps! Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

    DSC_2429 is in the shown locaton and present in all the Photos, but there is no folder "Tulsa"... "in the tree.

    The left pane is a "choose one". "All photos" are just that. 'G' is a different option.

    Lightroom is not a file Explorer. He knows only the drives and files that you have imported the photos of. If LR shows not all of the photos that are on your hard drive, it is because you did not import all photos.

    If LR shows you a photo in "all photos" but do not show it in the folder you think he is in, go to "all photos", select the image, right click "view in the library folder. This will show you where LR think the picture is.
