  • Can I save a project to an external drive that I'm still trying?

    I have a problem with space on my computer right now, working on 2 projects at the same time. (a had been inactive for some time and now it's gone) So, as you may have guessed, I'm out of space as one of them does not save on my external hard drive. (wasn't the intention of always working on both) so I can't finish the one I'm working on this problem of space. I would spend the other project outdoors, but I fear that I will lose it. Since I almost finished it too I don't know what I should do in this situation.

    Someone at - it a good response/work of this type of problem? Is there a way I can save the other project on my outside now? Without losing the support or the project?

    Thank you in advance! (and YES the next project that I will record outdoors since the beginning!)

    Your project file itself does not use a lot of space, but your media work "hidden" files take up much space

    Moving your media files means that you will need to add a link to it when you open the project... which is a pretty painless process "generally"

    The other thing you need to do, when you create a project, is manually set all your files cache on the disk with more space... read drive C http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1007934?tstart=0 and adjust your settings accordingly (reply 4) and delete the cache on your boot disk, so recreate your outdoor space

  • I have lost my EFS (ENCRYPTING File System) to change my OS. How can I recover my data.

    Some time ago I encrypt my jpeg with password file. I changed the operating system yesterday. by the operating system to format I lost my certificate EFS (ENCRYPTING File System) and at the moment I have no backup certificates. so please help me, can I recover my data. If yes how?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting the request in the Microsoft community forums!

    If your encryption key is lost or damaged and you don't have a way to recover your data, the data is lost. Also, you will lose data if you store your encryption key on a smart card and the smart card is damaged or lost. To make sure you can always access your encrypted data, you should back up your encryption certificate and key.

    You can check the links for more information.

  • Could not initialize and I need to recover the data on the hard drive.

    Original title: computer MOM will not start and I need to recover the data on the hard drive.

    It's an old computer and I do not know what version of Windows it was running.  I guess I need a bootdisk of exploitation, but where can I download that?  Or would it be easier to pull and make a secondary drive in my computer that I just replaced?  It works under Windows XP.

    Hello

    If the old system does not start could be the hard drive. Put the hard drive in another computer as a 2nd drive and then access the files. If you use a computer XP, Vista or Windows 7, you should be able to access the files, unless the drive has failed.

    You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd drive (better) or a USB external drive case and then save up to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives. Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

    Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data. (This will not work if the hard disk is defective or other issues preventing the system from booting from the CD/DVD drive.)

    Use Ubuntu Live CD to backup files from your Windows computer dead

    Hello

    I'm happy to help you

    Glancing at the screen shot you posted, your looks of partition fine recovery (recovery (D).

    Save your files on an external hard drive or flash drive (depending on how many you have).

    Once that is done, disconnect all connected to your PC, but the AC adapter.

    Start the PC and the HP welcome screen, press the F11 key to start the Recovery dialog box and follow the prompts.

    It should take 15 to 30 minutes and your PC needs to be restored to its factory settings.

    Then just reinstall all programs and files that does not come with the PC.

    You will need the files or the installation of program diskettes. You cannot back up installed programs and reinstall them using a backup.

  • How to limit external drives that research of bridge?

    I have the problem that I find myself working on bridge selected files that have been selected from my external hard drive.

    This can lead to catastrophic results, of course, when the user will overwrite the incorrect files, etc.

    I watched all the Bridge preferences, but I can't find anywhere to limit the search to all the original main hard drive.

    Of course, it is nice to have the backup on the external drive, (that I cloned with Carbon Copy Cloner)... but often I get to work on a photoshop file and realize I worked on a file that origin of the disk external and not the original HARD disk.

    It's driving me crazy!

    So... is there a way to limit external drives that will search in Bridge?

    Thank you!

    Jn

    So... is there a way to limit external drives that will search in Bridge?

    Yes, in the menu search (cmd + F or menu: Edit / Find) you have a window that Let's select you the source where search, if you choose your hard drive as a source to look into it will find only files there.

    The folder Panel can also be useful for your purpose, although I personally almost never need because the option find in Bridge, it might be when having bridge pointed toward a drive or a folder up right quick search field in the Bridge window could also do the trick for you.

    Of course, it is nice to have the backup on the external drive, (I cloned with Carbon Copy Cloner)...

    I would not use Carbon Copy Cloner to the back upward, but a dedicated backup application like synchronize Pro, simply copy all the content you want to use for the external HARD drive backup and customize sync as you like it (when to back up, archive older files etc. etc.). There are also many others (some are free) backup utilities.
