After installing Windows 7, linking my old drive with Windows XP on it will let see me all the data in the drive?

Original title: installation of Windows 7.

I install Windows 7 on a new drive. My old drive is Windows XP and all my old data.

IF I had to unplugging the old drive and install Windows 7 on the new drive and then plug the old drive and restart Windows 7 with the old drive as a slave, windows see the old drive as a second drive and view all data on this drive?

Yes, it will be. The old man will be the slave and you can copy your files and settings to your new Windows 7 install on the new drive.

It will not move programs, though. They would need to be reinstalled.

  • SD card is not working properly after installing windows 10

    I have a MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, early 2015) with EL Capitan 10.11.5 and after I installed 10 windows using bootcamp, everything worked fine at first, but after I deleted my part of windows and then installed windows 10 the second time, the SD card is not working properly. She mounts only if the computer shuts down first, and then start. If I take the laptop directly, the SD card will not rise. The same thing happens when I switch systems using a control option key or bootcamp Center where when I switched to another system, the SD card that was mounted on the old system does not appear in the new system. I was trying to solve this problem remove the part of windows before you reinstall it again once, so I found that after I deleted the windows part, the problem is gone and it reappeared after installing windows 10 even once. I also found that after I installed windows the total volume of hard drive (128g front) became 121g.

    Hello LorinMax,

    Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know the importance of your work with your Macbook Pro SD card!

    If I understand correctly, you cannot use your SD card, unless you stop and then restart. Because this behavior started when you installed Boot Camp, I would start with the following steps:

    1. first of all, start by repairing your hard disk in disk utility to correct the unexpected problems that could be the cause of this behavior.

    Disk utility (El Capitan): a disc repair

    2. use Mode without fail to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks, remove files from the system cache, check your startup disk and trying to fix problems if necessary directory.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    Graphics performance limited in recovery of OS X or in safe mode

    3. According to Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide, you may need to back up your personal data and reinstalling OS X, then reinstall Windows via Boot Camp and related support files.

  • Please, please help. No sound from my sound card on board after installing windows 7

    I just installed windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on my computer that previously had windows xp professional sp3 top.  My motherboard, what I don't know, is an a32gv11c from ASUS with a team of a soundcard SoundMax.  I have absolutely no sound and can't seem to find the drivers for it anywhere.  Y at - there anyone out there that can help me to find the driver I need to get a sound?  Help, please.  Thank you.

    I know it's my advice, which means that the hardware manufacturer, who has done this.  The installation for the integrated sound card cd says that the current operating system is not supported, which to me makes sense because this material was released before windows 7.

    All documentation is in stock and not accessible.  I looked inside to the motherboard and can't seem to find any useful information pertaining to the brand of it...  I never spent by with any programs driver utility because my model did not appear.

    Issues that everyone seems to have is with no sound from sound card after installing windows 7, not just isolated to my sound card.  I have a hard time believing I am eternally screwed with no sound from my computer because of my hardware not supported under windows 7.  There must be a solution out there.  I realize that I should have found that now but can not which is what brought me to this forum.  Someone knows and can help me.

    You are not 'for always screwed"- you can always buy and install a sound card which the manufacturer supports their product under Windows 7 - operating system, you choose to run.  The trick is to have a piece taken in charge (by the manufacturer) hardware or software - * under the operating system you choose to run *.

    Yep - you've had this old Ford Mustang you bought this Nitro kit for... But now that you have this new Ford Mustang - Nitro kit may not work.

    Your only real solution: get a piece of hardware - audio device - supported under Windows 7 by its manufacturer.  Else do you play with fire, may or may not work and even if it does not, could be broken by the next patch or update.  If you have a PCI or PCIe available slot, find a cheap good sound card (trust me - the one you had would have qualified as cheap) and throw it in.  15 USD and up to I guess.

  • HP Solution Center does not work after installing Windows 10.

    After 10 Windows Installer, Solution Center HP, which is part of the installation of software for my HP Officejet 4500 510nz, tells me that the software is incomplete. The installation disc does not open, so I downloaded the HP program and re-installed. I always get the message that the software is incomplete. HP says they no longer support this printer (bought 24/05/14 - May 25/09/13!) - WOW! ~ printer still print, but will not run the other functions such as scanning, etc., because the HP Solution Center does not start, and HP has abandoned in favor of their product.

    Now what? Should I buy a new printer to replace this year 1 old HP so I can use its features with W10?

    Or, is there a way to fix it?
