Cannot import Windows Mail 6.0 files after reformatting the hard drive

Desktop HP of my wife had to be reformatted.  It is under Vista Home Premium.  Email is vesion Windows Mail 6.0.  I exported all the personal files in Windows Mail she wanted, through the export feature.  They are stored on a DVD right now.  The problem is that once I have reformatted the hard disk to the original factory conditions, I can't import files or messages.  The import in the Wizzard options is for Windows Mail (with outlook and Express) 7.  When I choose 7 Mail I get the following error message: "no messages are located in this folder or another application is running that has the required files open.  If I navigate to the actual stored email files on the backup DVD I can open individual emails so that they were saved.  What can I do?

It is a bit of extra work, but it will do the job.

  • Copy the files from the DVD to the desktop.
  • Open WinMail and create the folders that you need to match those on the desktop.
  • Open a folder on the desktop and you should see all of the messages as .eml files.
  • Select all, then right click on them. Drag the corresponding folder of WinMail and copy here.

That worked? You can remove the files from office once facts.

    I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive.  Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files.  I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter that has been designated by Lightroom to store my photos.  I could go into my Windows 10 and reset the player to the letter that Lightroom has given at the beginning of the external hard drive.   However, I know this can happen again, if I connect any stick USD or another device, while the external hard drive is not connected to my laptop.   I found the information that I can do the new designation of the final drive by choosing a letter it is 1/2 way or higher in the alphabet.   I would like to turn an external hard drive on a strong letter, warns we hope this previous problem.   My question is, if I already have a lot of pictures on this external hardrive with the designation of the current drive, how it becomes a higher letter and have 6 Lightroom recognizes files, now under the new designation of drive letter without having to go to each photo individually and manually force Lightroom 6 find each photo.  It would take more time than I'd like to lose.  Is there a way to get just 6 Lightroom to recognize the new disk designation has changed and is able to find all of the existing files?

    I have read the ADOBE LightRoom 6 manual and seem not to be able to find anything on how to do it.

    Any help would be welcome.

    Thank you!

    So in Windows, you can select a drive like q letter (or any other letter you want only towards the end of the alphabet)

    Then in Lightroom, you can reconnect to the photos on q: the following instructions (see specifically 4 Figure and related text)

  • How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive?

    How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive? do I have to call microsoft or I can retrieve it somehow to the old hard drive?

    Well, that certainly puts a different point of view on this subject.

    There are data recovery services that can recover data from disks that have suffered from various types of failures. However, they are quite expensive. Unless the data is particularly useful, it is generally not useful.

    If your Windows 7 is an OEM version, installed on the computer when you bought it, the manufacturer could have a recovery disk on sale. If it was a retail copy and you always have the appropriate product/serial number, you can get a DVD of their team of parts replacement.

  • System Restore to factory settings after replacing the hard drive?

    I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre A52, which recently required a change of hard disk and the removal of a defective RAM 1 GB stick. When I bought my computer, it came with Windows XP Pro and the new hard drive that the updated computer has Windows XP Pro, but it seems to be missing a large part of the software (drivers and programs) that originally came with the computer, and even if I downloaded and installed most of them since the Lenovo Web site There are still some problems related to software that I can't fix. Ideally, I'd like to go back just to restore the system to the factory settings using the ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery program, but I don't know if it will work. All programs and the necessary drivers will be installed again, even if my current hard drive is not 'knows' thereon? I need to get a Windows XP Pro installation CD, if I want to keep my operating system? Also, is it important that my current hard drive is half the previous, or that I now have half as much RAM?

    Thank you

    After replacing the hard drive, the only way to restore it to the State of the plant is using the Lenovo installation diskettes. You can also ask if Lenovo has a solution to your problem without having to reinstall Windows.

    You can download Lenovo drivers if they are not included on the installation disk. The size of your hard drive does not matter.

  • missing hal.dll message after removing the hard drive

    Original title:Ok, I had the same problem on my hard drive missing hal.dll. My question is what windows xp writes the cmos on my computer?

    OK, I had the same problem on my hard drive missing hal.dll. My question is what windows xp writes the cmos on my computer? The reason why I ask, is that I physically removed the hard drive from the computer and then start the computer I get the same message hal.dll lack. Since the hard drive is not installed, the only place where this message comes's cmos or bios of the computer.
    I know it seems odd, but I couldn't believe it when I saw it after removing the hard drive. It used to be with older computers and Windows 95 or 98 when you took a hard drive that wasn't working and installed with one that works from a different computer, you could swap out and boot the computer and make a few changes to some drivers if you.

    So what is windows xp write to the memory cmos on my computer?

    > Ok, I had the same problem on my hard drive missing hal.dll.

    The same as what? If you reference another thread, please include a link to it.

    > My question is what windows xp writes the cmos on my computer?

    It is not write anything for her at all.

    > Lack of the reason why I ask this is that I physically removed the hard drive from the computer and then start the computer I get the same message hal.dll.

    I think that you're wrong. I would like to say two things happening:

    1. you have more than one hard drive and the problematic drive was not removed, or

    2. you deleted something other than a hard drive.

    Do you have a CD in your CD drive by chance?

    What is the brand and model of your PC? Are you able to get into the BIOS?

    How can I, without seeking to erase and reinstall again?

    To activate the built-in Windows 7 games:

    1. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

    2. click on programs and features.

    3. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

    4. find the entry called games & check the box next to it.

    5. click on OK.

    6 reset.

    If the games box is already checked, uncheck the box , click OK, restart, then do steps 1-6 above.
