Cannot copy old backup on new hard drive

I can't copy my old backup to a new hard drive directory by dragging the old new th diving in such Finder recommended by Apple.  There seems to be some controversy about how to accomplish this task.  Instructions would be appreciated.

Did you follow the following steps:

to the letter? If so, what was the error message?

  • How can I copy vista on a new hard drive

    I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and bought the disc. Until I do so I want to install a new hard drive of 1 TB. How to copy Vista from the old drive to the new drive?

    You will need to reinstall Vista on the new drive (new installation) and then turn it on and then level to Windows7 and activate that.  First back up your data - it's about all you'll be able to save.  You will need to reinstall all your programs and reset all settings - they can be copied on to the new drive.  It works just like that.  An option that allows you to transfer data a little more than a simple (but not yet the programs) is to use EasyTransfer: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928635. The review process and see if you can make it work in your situation.

    Sorry, that is not a solution more simple that preserves everything on the original drive, but even if you did an image backup of complete and restored to the new drive, the device driver for the hard disk would be a mistake, and it is not possible to change it with the limited access, you will need to the system without being able to boot from the hard drive.  If you can find a way to install the hard disk driver after restoring using only disk access (which may be possible depending on what has been provided by the manufacturer of the hard disk - it would need to be a startup disk that can install device drivers, even if the hard drive is not available) This becomes a viable option - but I do not know how or if any manufacturer offers such a disc.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Win 7 | LR 5 CC: changes do not transfer when I copied my images on new hard drive

    I am running windows 7 and Lightroom 5 CC. I recently added a new drive hard more to my desktop. I copied my photo folder to lightroom for the new hard drive, but the changes didn't transfer. I tried to revive with my latest backup with no Luke

    So the same photo is on F and G, changes present on F, but not G.

    I still think that synchronization of records was the problem.

    However, in my view, there is a simple solution (well, simple is in the eye of the beholder, of course, maybe you don't think it's simple, but here goes)

    Delete all photos of g. using Lightroom, remove them all of the catalogue and the hard drive. Of course, that assumes you have no need for anything whatsoever on G.

    Go back to your operating system, copy photos from F to G, leaving the structure of the entire same folder on both drives. Are not "the attempt to put things away upwards after the copy. Does not synchronize. Do not import anything. Everything simply old COPY from F to G.

    Return to Lightroom, and right click on the folder my Lightroom on F Photos, select the location of the update folder, point to my Lightroom Photos on g. done! More information in Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing scroll down to the section called "update folder location".

  • Cannot install Vista on the new hard drive

    original title: Please help!

    I have a dell laptop inspiron 1720, not the newest I know but it surfs the web. At least it used to. I had some sort of virus or something and my hard drive kept bluescreening on me. I said, well I want to do this thing faster and have more space anyway. Out a ram 1 g got 4g, out went the 120gig and got a 250. Went to reinstall dell support stuff and it went well. Then had my vista disk and started to install. Expanded files ok and everything. You all the way to the install tab end and nothing happens? Don't know what else to do? Any help would be great.

    Turns out I'm only semi retarded. My friend told me since I have a new hard drive, I would probably need to first load the driver for it. Then I got to the part when you choose a car and chose to load drivers. Of course I had to change discs in the middle of install and load a driver for the new hard drive and everything went smoothly after that.

  • Correct installation of the new hard drive for Windows 7

    Have a disk hard fatal crash with Dell OEM Windows 7on, so I bought a new hard drive compatible system and have my old system Win 7/recovery of data on a memory stick. It's been years that last I formatted, partitioned and installed an operating system on a new hard drive and I totally forgot how it's done. Vaguely remember some DOS commands were required to work out of BIOS (?). Can anyone list the individual measures to be taken, assuming that the hard drive is physically installed and turned on? It would be a great help!

    Unless this stick memory has on her installation files as well, you cannot reinstall win7 on the new hard drive

    You will need the DVD / or the ISO of Win7.

    ]

    And no you do not need BACK. Just the dvd or ISO / to boot from. Then you can format / partition in the configuration screen

  • Need help to install the new hard drive in Satellite Pro M10

    Hi all

    My hard drive died in my M10 Pro Satellite so I decided to adapt to another.
    It fits very well in the caddy, but just does not want to slot into place correctly as something seems to be stopped.
    The M10 only accepts a certain brand/model?
    Also, nobody knows this as the largest capacity M10 will accept?
    Thank you very much.

    Concerning
    J

    As much as I know should not be problem at all. Take the old and the new HARD drive and compare the connectors. I hope that they are the same. I can only imagine that the new HD is not placed correctly in the HARD drive bracket. Make sure that the new is placed as an old man after his retirement from the laptop.

    As for max capacity of HARD drive, there is no precise information and we can only speculate on this. Try to use the search option on this forum. Maybe someone already talked to upgrade the HDD on Sam/Satellite Pro M10.

    The fact is that Satellite Pro comes with 30, 40 and 60 GB hard drives. How many GB does your new HARD drive?

  • Problems copying bookmarks from old Hard Drive to new hard drive

    The motherboard on my old Windows Vista 64 - bit is dead. The hard drive is still accessible. I bought a new PC with Windows 7 and installed Firefox. I find the.default file for Firefox on the old drive hard and copied and pasted in my new profile on my new hard drive. The old hard drive is connected to my new PC with an external hard drive enclosure. I tried looking for in my old profile user Firefox hard disk of old. I do this by clicking on my old username, go to Program Files (x 86) and only one program file that I found for DNA. Firefox has been installed on my old PC, so I'm surprised that I can't find what it listed under Program Files (x 86) on this drive. If I search the old drive for 'signet', it evokes my bookmarksbackup and other files of bookmarks '.json '. I tired bookmarksbackup copy for my new Firefox profile on the new hard drive and it seems to work, but the old bookmarks do not appear when I open Firefox. I looked at the links troubleshooting for the same problem that others have posted, but they seem irrelevant, because I can't find the sqlite or the directory where my old Firefox settings are stored on my old hard drive. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    Firefox settings are not stored in program files, but they are stored under APPDATA.

    If you take the newer JSON file you have, open Firefox, press Control, Shift and B at the same time, then go to "Import and backup" then 'restore', then choose file, you can import it like this?

  • I bought a new hard drive to replace my old, broken, what do I have to buy windows again?

    Hello world!

    I have a laptop very old but relatively powerful. The hard drive on this laptop broke about two years ago and I did not get around to fix until today. I bought a new hard drive and tried to download Windows 7 on a disk from the internet, I entered the product key located on the bottom of the laptop but I was arrested when I was told that the software is preinstalled on the previous hard disk by the manufacturer. It seems that the key I is still active on my old broken hard drive. Y at - it no word-all about this problem? or do I have to buy Windows 7 for my work laptop?

    Any help would be great, thanks.

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

    Am trying to re - install Acrobat 9 Pro (includes the Distiller) after installing a new hard drive. iMac 27 "2009, ElCapitan 11.11.6. I have the original dmg file. have also tried copying from back up. Same thing is happening anyway. It seems to load correctly. When open it asks my password but not to its own serial number. It is open, but don't watch not at the full bar at the top, that the word Acrobat, and it does nothing? Worked very well before the old drive crashing. On the same operating system?

    Not compatible does not mean that it cannot work (even if sometimes this does not mean that). This means that it has never been tested and not be fixed; This often means people have seen strange and unpredictable issues.

    Acrobat makes changes to the system, it is always more vulnerable. DC Acribat is the current version. If the goal is to slow down completely, perhaps more profitable subscription activity.

  • New hard drive backup restore

    I installed a new hard drive after backing up my old one (Snow Leopard) on Time Machine. I can't understand how to restore the backup to the new hard drive.

    First install the OS on the new drive.

    During the installation process (or just after, I forget exactly), it will offer you the possibility to configure the machine based on a Time Machine backup. Point it at your TM drive and come back in the morning (it will take a long time).
