Can't hear music transferred from the old hard drive
original title: unfortunately I had to buy a new computer & external drive, all media was transferred, but now I have the rights for nothing which was torn off of CD over the last 10 years... any solution?
I had this problem once before and I was able to email Microsoft my problem, and rights have been restored. But I'm not that easy solution this time. Does anyone else have this problem?

I had a hard disk going bad. Installed a new hard drive and the need to transfer files from the old hard drive. I have an external enclosure for the old hard drive and can connect by usb port.
The process is fairly simple once you put the old drive in the external box. You can use the usual methods of copy and paste in Windows Explorer. If you copy files, complete folders, you can take a look at RichCopy.

· My old Win XP computer died - it is completely unusable. I bought a new PC with Win 7 Pro and 1 TB. I still have the old HARD DRIVE (250 GB) which I have attached on the new computer using an external enclosure supports SATA drives. The external hard drive is connected to the computer in USB 3.0. I checked that the new computer can see the external hard drive. (I also used for backups by changing the hard drive with a 2 TB drive 'mass storage' - that works.)
I searched the internet for possible solutions and found no help. If the transfer of files from Microsoft would change the disc to analyze, it would be simple. But if I select the OLD computer it scans the disk I'm on (new) - automatically.
Is there anyone who has had the same problem? He must be because computers die all the time and people buy new computers - who then, somehow, they get the former transferred files. I could do it manually, but that wouldn't change the settings. Last resort would be to buy an old computer XP (SATA), replace the drive. Transfer the files, and then sell this computer.
You may be able to recover your data files, but I hope that you will set up your new system to automatically backup a second internal hard drive or an external USB hard drive.
This suggestion may not work, but it's worth a try. Buy an external USB drive enclosure. They come in two sizes 2.5 "for the portable computer drives and 3.5" for desktop disks. You can purchase adapters for 3.5 "envelopes so that they can also be used with a portable player. Place the hard drive in the enclosure and connect to a USB port of another computer. Several hard disks are more able to start, but the contents of the disc can still be accessed, read and copied from the disk because you do not use the operating system on a failed disk.
Here is an example of the type of device, I suggest:

Thereafter, you can put an old hard drive usable, an abandoned because you need a larger drive internal, in the enclosure and use it as additional external storage.

Retrieve files from the old hard drive
I have an old desktop pc that was running windows xp. I started the upgrade to vista but lost the product key and never managed to get a new one. There is an error message when I try to start the pc. Im not interested to fix it, but I want to get some files off the hard drive (mainly of music). Currently, I have a laptop running windows 7 and I was wondering if it was possible to connect the hard drive of the PC to my mobile (as an external drive) and recover my media files. Is this possible with the upgrade failed, if so what would I need to do?
Thanks in advance
Hello
Perhaps, but without knowing exactly what you were doing to the old drive I can't guarantee success.
You can buy an external enclosure for your old hard drive that will turn it into a USB drive. You will need to remove the hard drive from your old computer and insert it into the caddy. Before buying the caddy, determine the type of your old hard drive (PATA or SATA) and make sure you buy the correct caddy. PATA hard drives have a very wide (5cm) data compared to SATA cable (less than 1 cm).
If your old PATA drive, I would recommend making sure that the jumpers are positioned for the reader as a "master". There should be a diagram on the hard drive, informs you of the jumper configuration. I met a few caddies who were sensitive to the riders 'cable select' or 'slave', i.e. did not work with these settings.
Once you have connected the caddy via the USB port, no data on this subject should be available via a drive letter.

Cannot copy files from the old hard drive to new
Original title: crash and recovery of hard drive problem
My hard drive crashed it wouldn't boot saying config.sys is damaged or corrupted, I tried to fix it but the sector is damaged. I was using XP, I had a password on my settings. I installed a new hard drive and reinstalled windows XP, but even if I can 'see' the old hard drive (always installed) I can't access my documents, how can I get to them? I know the password but since its an account on another drive it won't give me the chance to log on to the account.
Assuming that you use the Encrypting File System (EFS) then this article should solve your problem:

Just had to ask, you know the difference between the hard drive and CD/DVD drive? Don't get angry, read this.
You said "I know that the old drive... works as I can put disks and they load. When I click on the old player disc-F-in the message "Please insert the disk" leader explore appears. »
Anything that involves a CD/DVD drive. You can't put a disk on a hard disk.

How can I transfer all the emails from the old hard drive to a new hard drive, Windows 7
This transfer of e-mail has some quirk to it. I am running Windows 7 Professional on a concert of 150 old drive raptor WD with Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. I'll be installing Windows 7 Professional on the new drive and running Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird and the need to pass all the information the browser and e-mails (with folders) to the appropriate place on the new drive. I will use the same Windows 7 Professional disk for the operating system on the new drive, and then the old drive will be trashed as soon as the transfer is completed. What is the best way to transfer the data since I use two different browsers and e-mail clients? Do I first transfer all on the same type of browser and e-mail on the new disk and then import in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, or can I do a direct transfer to them?
Hey there James :)
If your original WD Raptor drive is in good health, have you considered cloning it to the new drive and so keeping everything as it is without the need to reinstall and backup and restore your data to the e-mail and other applications? I suggest to check out Acronis True Image WD Edition for this procedure: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=st8xw8
I would first of all check if the drive is healthy, as the procedure could transfer some potential errors from the old drive to the new. I would recommend running tool WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic to check the status of the WD Raptor drive. Here's a link: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=p7VtByAfter the back if you have any questions!

you want to install more hard drive. How can I move all of the data, os, games, music, etc.
and have computer always starts.
Hello
You cannot move by themselves programs
you need to reinstall it from the original media
read this about moving everything, including the operating system
or save your data and reinstall clean vista
There are different ways to do
hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning software to move your operating system installed from the old to the new hard disk
Search for information on this subject on their Web site
If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move
read the information below
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial145.html
or if you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software
link below is an example of this:
http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage/index.html
also to put your machine how you bought:
1. that vista is preinstalled, you should have a recovery on your old hard drive partition
You can recovery disks to reinstall on your new hard drive
ask the manufacturer of the machine how
2. contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
3. or borrow a microsoft dvd vista
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed
Save all data, because it will be lost, do the above

The only way I know, it's that you buy an external HARD drive enclosure where you can put in the old HDD. Connect the HARD drive old this is the case with the USB cable to your laptop new and then you can copy your documents and photos.
These cases are not expensive and s for external HARD drive are very practical.

As far as I know that you must add the Group everyone in the folder options. Right-click on the folder-online security-online advanced-online (effective) permissions
There, you must add the user to the other laptop or for example all users. Then it should work.
I had this problem for 1 or 2 years and it worked for me.A friend of mine told me that he was able to copy the data to a Linux system. You can start form a Linux boot CD/DVD, and then copy the data on the other PC.
