Can I Exchange an old HD XP to my new HD running Win 7? I need to recover data

Hello

I have an old m10560y of HP Media Center PC with a PJ751AV 160 G hard drive SATA 7200 RPM, which I removed because the motherboard is damaged. I was running Win XP on this machine. I only need to retrieve data on this drive... not going to use it with the new HD (below)

I currently have an HP Pavilion Elite e9150t by the following:

Windows 7

10G RAM

AVO47AV 750 G 7200 RPM SATA 3G 8 / S HD

Model #: e9150t
Product #: NY810AV-ABA
Software Build #: 93NAv6PcA5
Service ID #: 110-811
PCBRAND: Pavilion

I want to disconnect the existing 750 G HD (Win 7), plug the HD 160 G (Win XP), retreve data on an external hard drive and then plug the HD 750 G and be on my merry way.

Can I do this?

Will there be a problem running the old HD 160 G because it works under XP or it will be plug and play?

If connected to a USB port, so no, the computer should detect Windows on the internal disk and boot off that. Not all models have motherboards that can even allow the boot off the USB connections. You should be fine. Even if it does not, simply unplug the USB cable before entering Windows and then plug it to the top.

  • How can I get my old iMac Mavericks on my new computer El Capitan iPhoto?

    I'm an amateur photo with literally thousands of photos of scenic and nature, all labeled with keywords and manually marked locations (since my DSLR is not an internal GPS and therefore cannot automatically geotag photos) in iPhoto on our old computer that runs on the Mavericks. Recently, we bought a new iMac that runs on El Capitan, and when we moved my data from the old computer, all of my iPhoto library moved into Photos. Unfortunately, because the pictures does not support the manual tagging locations, all hours of work I put in dropping the pins on maps to show the exact location where all my photos have been taken has disappeared. Enter Photos and keywords to adapt to all of the States, cities and specific locations where these pictures were taken just is not practical; my list of keywords would get horribly difficult to handle, and a good number of these photos were taken in "one-of-a-kind" tasks because they were taken on the fly from a moving vehicle. And that is not even taking into consideration all overtime work that would result. There must be someone out there who is dealing with the frustration of having to deal with a system that was designed for the casual snapshot-takers rather than serious photo enthusiasts! I still have the old computer with iPhoto installed on it and all the photos that I put in it until we bought the new computer. Is it possible that I can get the old computer to the new iPhoto? Can I put it on an external drive or DVD and copy it to the El Cap computer as iPhoto, or will it simply push all in Photos or choke and gag on that? I continue to work with my photos in iPhoto on your old computer, and I hope that he does not die in the near future? (And while we're at it, has any outside me informed Apple photos how bad works for those who need features in iPhoto that does not get incorporated in the Photos? I left a note on the comments, but I have no way of knowing if someone is on my suggestion.)

    Click here and try following the instructions; you will only be able to do if you got before where associated with iPhoto on the Mac App store.

    A version of aged more than 9.6 iPhoto does not open in Yosemite and newer.

  • How can I work with old Adobe applications on a new mac operating system?

    I downloaded the Adobe Suite (Acrobat 7 Professional, PhotoShop, Image Ready, etc) to an iMac of 2015, version 10.10.5 since a 2006 pro macbook and got the following message when you try to open: "Cannot open the application... because the PowerPC applications are no longer supported." Any help would be appreciated.

    The error you are getting is nothing to do with the server being unavailable. The version of Creative Suite you have designed for the Mac with a PowerPC processor. Your new Mac has an Intel processor and can not run your old software. There is nothing you can do about it.

  • Can I delete my old Firefox sync account if I have a new one that uses the same email address?

    Hello

    I took off all my devices a synchronization of the old account and set up a new synchronization. In this process, I used the same as before email address.
    I have no use of my old account of synchronization, so the question is:
    Can I remove the old account from synchronization (via https://account.services.mozilla.com/ ) and - implicitly - all associated data without affecting my new account of Firefox (and its data) somehow?

    Thank you!

    Even if you use the same email address the two synchronize the old and the new are separated. As long as you are sure that all devices use new synchronization then the old one is no longer necessary.

    Here is the main article for help on the new sync

  • can I block old thunderbird profiles to get new messages

    I use profiles, multiple profiles after obtaining new computers. Each profile has several accounts (same accounts) but different date ranges. I'm organizing e-mails by what pc was more in use during a given period of time. so I have 3 profiles and they seem to work OK. But I only started the 'old' and saw that it was working but get new messages - I don't want to mail in the old accounts/profiles. They are just there to give a historic help if I need old information. My new profile becomes new mail OK.

    can I block the old thunderbird profiles to get new messages? How? I would like to block them without
    have to 'use' / open them so that the process of fundraising mail clutter them with new messages.

    Use command line arguments to start Thunderbird http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments_%28Thunderbird%29 offline and then disable the setting in the account setting > server settings re check the emails start and over a given time interval. But by using an argument of command line to start in offline mode and specify the profile to use forge probably the the easist and fear that difficult to maintain.

    Export actually mail using the import export tools https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/ and import all e-mail messages in a single profile would probably be the best approach really.

  • problems after upgrading firefox. reset this is ugly. created the new profile, but can not recover data from old profile.

    I use firefox on a MacBook pro. Mac OS X version 10.7.5. There was an update of firefox on a day or 2 ago. Since this was done, I was getting 'syntax error' 5 times, each time that a page has been loaded. Some research has suggested that an application or a plug-in called "social fixer" might be the problem but I could not understand how to get rid of it so decided to try to reset Firefox. Minutes passed and a message was on the screen saying the old files of firefox have been been "cleaned" or something, but it seems to be 'stuck' because the progress bar was little jerky. Doesn't it usually doesn't. So I clicked on "Cancel". After that, I couldn't even firefox to start. Looks like my profile is unavailable or inaccessible. Following the instructions found on the support site, I created a new profile and I thought I copied the files from the previous firefox on the new profile, but when I run firefox, it's a blank slate. None of my bookmarks or passwords are there. It must be here somewhere, but I can't seem to understand.

    Looks like there was a problem with updating the profiles.ini file.

    You can try to remove the current profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile where Firefox has not done that.
    You can check if there is a profile folder with a number of attached time stamp and in this case, you can set the location of a profile created in this folder.

    If you need to recover data from an older profile, always in the default location, or as a folder of old data of Firefox on the desktop then see:
