access to an operating system from an old HDD with drive [solved]

I recently bought a larger hard drive and loaded in win 7 x 64.  I have my old HARD drive connected as a secondary drive.  Is it possible to start the old install via player?

I tried connecting physical disk as shown, deleted the assignment of drive letters, but I get the below error when I try to start.

you hit a crack in years in my computer

on post Vista host, the functionality of the physical disk is broken.

You must set the second disk either offline with diskpart before you assign it to a virtual machine

    My camera Olympus only works with Apple's Quick Time 7.  Is it possible to make it work with my operating system from Windows XP?

    Apple QuickTime 7 works is because. MOV is the Apple
    QuickTime format.

    QuickTime. MOV files can cause problems with Windows Media Player.
    And... If you plan to try editing with Movie Maker... the files should
    be converted to the. WMV format.

    No guarantee, but the following decoder might allow Windows Media

    3ivx MPEG-4 5.0.4 decoder

    Convert the. MOV files to the. WMV format may be worth a try:

    There are many converters available on the net... some
    free... some detail.

    The following freeware converter is just one example:

    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the final screens)
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag > FFSetup295.exe< out="" of="" the="">
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    Next, after the download and installation of Format
    Factory... you can open the program and
    left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
    "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
    (this is where you find your files after they)

    That should do it...

  • How to transfer the old operating system to Windows XP on a drive USB3 to allow the start of a new XP computer

    I have Windows XP SP3 on a Dell computer. I have a new computer with Windows 7 Pro.

    I want the option to be able to start my new computer with XP and run it as an alternative to USB.

    Is there a way I can completely transfer the contents of the drive WITH the XP OPERATING SYSTEM on a regular external USB3 drive so I can start the new computer using XP works like the operating system, when I need?

    Thank you.

    You do not have.  Windows XP doesn't work this way (start of the external drive).

    You can virtualize the old computer (physical to virtual conversion) and run it as a virtual machine on your new system.  Although, honestly, it would be a bit beyond the type of assistance usually given in these home user forums.  A Google search would be ways to virtualize a physical system and/or choose which Manager of virtualization that you want to use (Microsoft VirtualPC, VirtualBox, VMware Player/workstation, etc...)

  • Re: Can I repair the operating system without resetting the whole HARD drive?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M50, I ran an antivirus in safe mode scan today and must have accidentally deleted a file system because now I can not connect.
    The computer will start but when I try to log in it connect, flash back, my office to the floor once and then connect again.
    I can repair the operating system without resetting the entire hard drive and lose all my files?

    And if not, is there someway to initiate a prompt BACK because I don't that the file is still in the recycling bin, and I might be able to restore it.

    Hello Bambi

    Repair option with the recovery DVD (image recovery) is not available. Using recovery DVDs, you can install OS and have once again the factory settings.
    As far as I know at the BACK level, you can start using BACK discus. You can create bootable CDs.

    You can start your computer in Mode safe?

  • Install the operating system after replacing the corrupted hard drive Asus q500a

    The hard drive on my Asus Q500a is bad (he had checked the repairman). They told me that I could replace it (it will just keep failing until at last it dies just) but I have to re - install the operating system. The laptop comes with Windows 7 and I upgraded to 8 when it came out (I think). I don't have a recovery disk.

    How can I replace the corrupted hard drive and re-install the operating system?

    If I need to buy Windows 8, where can I find?

    Would it not easier that I left the repair shop handle it?

    Thank you in advance.

  • I have a problem of my catalogs of PES 10 displacement and the photos attached from my old computer with Windows XP on my new computer with Windows 10.  The problem is that I can't remember the arrangement of the original tree of my photo folders when I r

    I have a problem of my catalogs of PES 10 displacement and the photos attached from my old computer with Windows XP on my new computer with Windows 10.  How can I keep my original photo folders tree arrangement when I restore backups of catalog on the new machine?

    The problem arises because Windows 10 is equipped with a new tree structure with new names for many of its branches.  Tree of Windows XP starts to Local Disk (C), and then does the following: Documents and settings, Susan [it's me the user], My Documents, SusanPhotos (the folder that I created that contains my photos) and then several subfolders and subfolders with my photos grouped by theme, for example the Puglia Italy and Italy-Roma.  My new computer Windows 10 has a different tree and different names for a large number of branches from early on: OS (C) [instead of Local Disk (C)], users, Susan, Documents [instead of the old My Documents], SusanPhotos [what I created] and then the subfolders and so on.

    Because of the new tree and the new names of the branch, I can't find a way to restore my PES 10 catalogues and photos attached to them to where I want to that they.  What I want to do is put the files from SusanPhotos to the Windows 10 Documents folder so that I find myself with the following tree, essentially the same as what I had on my old machine: OS (C), users, Documents, Susan, SusanPhotos, then the original subfolders with my photos.  Apparently 10 PSE does not allow me to move folders of photos in the Organizer, so that the pictures stay connected.

    PES 10 offers 3 options for restoration: Original, personalized and customized, keeping the original structure of the file.  Here's what happens to each:

    (1) original creates new folders with the old names and the structure of the tree, parallel to the tree Windows 10 has instead of inside the tree Windows 10.

    (2) custom with the original structure of the file is the restaurant where I want (within the SusanPhotos) but retains all branches superfluous-instant initial tree of Windows XP, production: BONES (C), users, Documents, Susan, SusanPhotos, Documents and settings [carried over from the old computer], Susan, My Documents, SusanPhotos, Roma-Italy and Italy-Puglia and so on.

    (3) custom (without checking the original file structure box) makes every SusanPhotos but without any organization: OS (C),..., SusanPhotos, Italy-Puglia and Italy-Roma and all other folders at the same level instead of in their original nested groups with subfolders.

    The first two methods you end up with a tree that is chaotic with two parallel trunks or a single trunk but with several redundant layers carried over from the old computer.  The third ends with no tree at all.

    One solution would be to make a Custom Restore with the original structure of the file and then use PSE10 to move the folders that I would like.  However, AFAIK, PSE10 I cannot move entire folders of photos, only of individual pictures.  With thousands of photos in hundreds of cases, the time required for the movement of individual pictures is prohibitive.  PSE10 allows me to move the catalog folder, but apparently not the folders containing the photos.

    The result is that at this time I have no solution to my problem.  Can you help me find a way to restore my photos while keeping their original organization?

    One solution would be to make a Custom Restore with the original structure of the file and then use PSE10 to move the folders that I would like.  However, AFAIK, PSE10 I cannot move entire folders of photos, only of individual pictures.

    You simply use the 'Files' Panel on the left. Your folder tree appears. Simply, you drag and drop the folder to move with all its subfolders in the desired master file. That works exactly as in Solution Explorer, so be patient, you receive no message of progress until it is completed.

    You did a good job to understand the situation. I think that might help you is to understand that changes in the way default folders are created in a different version of Windows can be ignored if you do not use these structure 'default', from the shortcuts to your main folder of the user.

    I create a master folder 'My Photos' directly under the C: root.

    When I restore, I use the "custom" choice, as you have discovered, I only specify this folder in the restore process, and I completely ignore the default shortcuts to 'Documents' or 'Image '.

  • Change operating system from Vista to Windows XP Home on my Satellite A200

    I want to change my OS from Vista to Windows XP Home on my Satellite A200... once I downloaded the complete drivers compatible with XP I updated my version of BIOS to be compatible, then when I started the formatting procedure I've countered a problem when I want to choose the format of the hard drive... which is "no hard drive drivers were found.

    If anyone can help please :) Thank you.

    Hello

    The problem is that you must install the SATA driver (among others) in the XP operating system!
    You will use the FDD USB external (floppy) drive or you will create a new Win XP CD using the freeware tool called nLite (google for nLite get details).

    In addition, after the installation of the SATA driver you shouldn't t format the HARD drive because it would wipe out the SATA driver and the HARD drive will not be recognized!

  • Is it possible to download an image (.iso) of the operating system from the Microsoft Web site?

    As I've already bought the computer with the operating system installed on it and apparently I have not received any CD of the OS with it. But I have the ID of the product on the computer... is there a way where I could get a copy .iso of my operating system on the Microsoft Web site?

    Thank you!

    On-site upgrades are not well regarded by some contributors of this forum, including me. However if you want to try, I refer you to this link for an iso download...

    I thank very it much for the response, I have tried as it appears in you notice the link.
    but when I chose to clean up the system files , > Remove Windows does not appear, but Remove windows to this day was here,

    Please, any help...?

    Im not quite clearly your senario... You have two installations of windows 8 in different partitions? or in a single partition, as an upgrade? and showing two options boot menu at startup?

    Here's an alternative way to answer Andre ... even effect

    If so
    Try the system configuration utility... Press the windows key and r and type msconfig and click ok...
    Then you can edit anything and as default and change the timeout values... the value of the start you want as default... and set the time-out value as 0

    Note: If you accidentally delete your work boot entry, your windows boot will not... so take care ... proceed at your own risk...

  • PSE improve and change the operating system from Windows to Mac

    Hi all

    In 2005 I bought initially PSE 3 and PSP 3 for Windows.

    In 2009, I upgraded to Version 8 for Windows PSE

    Now, I've changed the operating system for MAC and upgraded to PSE & PSP 14.

    When you go to the store, I can select and upgrade package - but only for Windows (I guess because of my previous purchases for Windows).

    How can I change for MAC now?

    Anyone any idea or had the same challenge?

    Thank you very much in advance for any advice or insight.
