Catalogue bringing together on a single hard drive.

My catalog is scattered over several drives. What is the right way to go all out several different hard disks on a very large hard drive?

If you consolidate because you move at a large new or different hard drive, you have two options.

Option 1: you can drag and drop files in the Lightroom library module. Have been reported by users who have done what all the pictures move, and then they have to spend a lot of time to find the missing images.

Option 2: you can move folders of images to the new hard drive with your operating system. When you view the folder that you moved Lightroom will tell you he hasn't. So we must show Lightroom were the file is now located.

If you have a lot of images and folders to move, it is my opinion that option 2 is the best option. The operating system seems to do a better job to move the files. But we must take the time to point Lightroom to the folders on the new hard drive. It's not that much time, but it needs to be done.

If you're going to make this gesture, I strongly suggest that you organize your folder tree, so that you have a main folder with subfolders for different years or different projects or what ever in this main folder. Then, in the future, if you need to make this move again simply move the main folder and then find that missing folder in its new location and everything will be connected as it should.

  • RAID configuration on a single hard drive?

    Hello

    Is it possible to configure the RAID in a single hard drive.

    The RAID is not just about redundancy. In the case of mirror RAID is. But, in the case of the RAID stripe, it's performance. There are other RAID types too if you feel like Googling them, but I can assure that they all involve at least two physical disks. However, many RAID controllers that support stripe and mirror (RAID 0 and 1).

    You cannot create a RAID with a single physical disk, even if you create more than one partition on it.

  • In disk management, it shows only a single hard drive and it's C, but it lists the size than what my old drive was that I took out

    I got a new hard drive in my computer and the old a subscribed.  I then had to reinstall Windows XP Pro.  In disk management, it shows only a single hard drive and it's C, but it lists the size than what my old drive was that I took out.  The new shows of unallocated hard disk without a drive letter and has a black bar above it. How do I show my new hard drive that is 1 TB instead of one that was a 250 GB is not yet in my computer.

    Hi Reta,

    ·         The drive appears like 250 GB even if it's a terabyte?

    ·         Is the remaining 750Go showing as unallocated disk space?

    If this is the case, you can refer to this article on how to use disk management in Windows XP:

    You can follow the directions to extend a Simple Volume so that your 250 GB turns into a single terabyte.

  • Raid PowerEdge r.620 with single hard drive controller

    Hi all

    I have Dell PowerEdge r.620 with 1 * 1 TB hard drive, Raid Controller using mini H710... When I try to install Win Server 2008/R2 x 64 the HDD is not detecting, I've read in this forum of the disc cause hard does not detect is pilot raid is not installed, but I don't have that single hard drive is possible to set up raid with single hard drive or I don't have to use raid controller but I still don't understand how to set up the server with no raid...

    Thank you...

    Dimm21
    Sorry for the late reply, do you mean raid controller in the server? If you want to say, I always do not install driver coz is new server than i've got...

    I want to know, if posibble install raid on one hard drive and how to configure who... Server raid controller is mini H710

    Thanks for your response

    Yes, the RAID controller.  One you have?  I'll assume a PERC H710 for now:

    The H710 PERC is NOT compatible non-RAID (you cannot use a single disk without RAID)... in order to use a hard drive, you MUST configure a single drive RAID 0.  This must be done in the RAID controller BIOS utility, accessed by pressing CTRL-R during POST when prompted.

    Once configured, you need TO load the driver for the operating system, see the drives connected to the controller.

    If you have a H310, it SUPPORTS no RAID, so you do not have to configure anything in the RAID controller BIOS, HOWEVER, you MUST always load the RAID controller driver during installation.

  • Question regarding access to the catalogues and files to an external hard drive in 6 items.

    Having just acquired a DHM, I have successfully conducted a test of back up of a catalogue of photo of 6 2000 of an XP PC-based elements, using the Elements 6 complete the backup process. This process is intended to be used eventually to transfer it and other catalogs on a new Windows 8 PC installed with 11 elements.

    However, while I would also like to be able to access the image files and the data of the catalogue on the EHD for a Vista based laptop which also has some Elements installed 6. Can you please advise how to make this without a full restoration of process that would load all the files on the hard drive of my laptop.

    In the transfer of the EHD image I also seem to have lost the original structure of the file that was on my PC, as the files have been renamed numerically and are all files held individually in the main folder of the ehd. While is not too serious a lot while the files remain on the EHD, provided the catalog always knows where to find them, has the structure of the file original been permanently lost, or I can it recreate when I finally to restore the files and catalog on the new PC in Windows 8?

    I can't wait to get this process right as I have a much bigger catalog similarly backup and transfer, once I was able to acquire the new PC and hoped to be able access the same way this catalogue by my laptop of EHD. given the lack of hard drive space on my laptop to contain all the 20 000 files that are involved.

    When you are restoring, say you PES to restore to a new location, this place being on the EHD

    In the transfer of the EHD image I also seem to have lost the original structure of the file that was on my PC, as the files have been renamed numerically and are all files held individually in the main folder of the ehd.

    In fact, you have not lost this file structure. When you perform the restore, the folder structure will be returned to as it was.

  • Qosmio F30-117: A single HARD drive is recognized after upgrade to 120 GB

    I have a Qosmio F30-117 with 2 x 60 GB Toshiba hard drives installed. I want to switch to 2 x 120 GB HARD drive, but my Slot 1 does not recognize the HARD drive as being present. Slot 2 recognizes that a 120 GB HARD drive is present.

    This happens with two 120 GB hard drives installed in the two slots and when inverted as well. I don't use RAID so no mirroring happens.

    Any clues out there?

    Hello
    I think that it is will not be problem.
    Try putting 2 HARD drive and then install a sistem.
    Otherwise, you can not lose a sistem on old first HDD, if you have a problem.

    I'm a snowbird. 6 months in Michigan, 6 months in Arizona. All moves by automobile.

    I was moving a Dell Vostro 410 unique to each movement... not funny.

    I bought a second 410 with the travel plan only the hard drive. I'll do a clean install of Win7 Home Premium 64, as well as all software, etc. on the Michigan machine.

    What should I do to improve the chances of this hard drive works on both machines?

    Hello

    As the problem is related to the installation of the hard disk, it would be better if get you in touch with decision-making supported by the manufacturer. Support Dell will be able to you guide on the removal of the hard drive but also install on the other computer.

    For instructions on how to remove and replace the hard drive, to see the specific system repair, for more information, see you on how to get the maintenance manual see the section download and display of manuals .

  • You can use a single hard drive to store an image disk backup and restore for multiple computers?

    I have a couple of computers that I recently installed Win7 on. As soon as I do an install I always do a backup image is preparing for the worst. Do I need a separate hard drive for each computer that I do a backup or image can I put all my images on a hard drive backup? I already have two separate a HDs different images, but would like to have them all in one place. I already tried a straight copy of an image to HAND HD I would use like, but without success. Is this possible or do I really a backup image HD?

    Depends on what you use for backup.  in General, you need not to have a picture in HD.

    Personally, I like acronis true image home 2012 (free trial) because it is flexible, easy to use and workjs each time.

  • 2 XP Pro on a single hard drive

    My original XP did not so I did a re install. Now I have 2 XP programs on the same hard disk. When I boot I get a black screen and a choice of what XP Pro to choose. Only problem, the top is highlighted and the cursor up/down keys will not work. It expires and will in XP, but when you try to click the icon/s to open a program without response, in the same panel, no response. So I click on start, click stop to the bottom and click on restart. Then I get the black screen then can move the selection highlight and go into the second XP and then I can click on the icons and they work. My question is, how do I remove the last installation so I did only one program XP Pro?

    I suggest that you save all the data and do a clean install correctly, removing install it XP you have now during this process

  • HP OMEN 15 (new style): I want to buy an OMEN of HP, but HP makes it difficult to understand this situation of HARD drive.

    I spent the last hour trying to understand it and I hope someone here can answer my question.

    If I configure and buy a harbinger of 15 HP with 16 GB of RAM and 512 m 2 GB PCIe SSD NVMe fully spec'd with the best i7 and 965 m 4 GB, I'll be able to add on an extra HDD as a secondary drive? I don't care if it's mechanics or SSD for high school, but if I buy an omen of HP configured with just the m2 PCIe NVMe SSD can later, I add to the system or will I be returned on a single hard drive internally for ever?

    I found a lot of configurations all over the internet, but no details, so I decided to say F #@! He and just build a machine from HP directly and know exactly what is inside, information is not really available anywhere and I get why, it cancels a guarantee to change a system, but the information readers still my decision to buy a machine that I can update or not.

    I know I can buy their free model labelled 'value' with the 1 TB or 2 TB + m2 SATA SSD but that term kind of scares me in a computer in this price range and SATA has been pretty slow for standards with the 128 GB SSD SATA SSD drives. HP also seem to leave no mention that it is SATA on the page of product information, that I found convenient.

    So is there someone who has successfully added a secondary drive to the only version m2 512 GB PCIe SSD NVMe? Or someone who has added a M.2 SSD PCIe to one of these models 'value' that pair the 5400 or 7200 RPM with a SATA SSD of m2? This stuff m2 is kind of a blur without real reason.

    The real sales staff seemed confused that I even asked on a hard drive...

    Have you ever seen the Manual:

    Repair manuals

    A couple of things stand out. The slot for the WSSD m2 drive can take a SATA or a PCi-e version. There is only one slot m2 and you have the opportunity to each of the types of player, so that they are interchangeable.

    See page 33. The m2 slot is just to the left of the battery. The drive Bay is above the right side of the laptop battery can physically handle both types of readers at the same time.

    The big problem is that the hard drive rails (in brackets) are "not spared." Page 18. This means that you can not order from HP. You might find a third-party provider who has but, seriously good luck with that.

    So I think you'd better get one of these:

    1 TB hard drive (7200 RPM) 9.5 mm + 256 GB SSD PCIe NVMe TLC M.2

    OR

    1 TB hard drive (7200 RPM) 9.5 mm + 128 m 2 GB SATA - 3 SSD (value)

    If you do not order it with a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive, it is not possible to get the parts to add one in. If you are happy with a 256 GB PCIe, then the first configuration will be fine. I have a G3 15 Zbook which has a similar setup, and I got a 2.5-inch SATA SSD 512 gig in the hard drive Bay and then a m2 of Samsung PM951 NVME (pci-e), which is the boot drive.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=9SIA12K3GB5852 & nm_mc = KNC-GoogleMKP-PC & cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Solid+State+Disk-_-9SIA12K3GB5852 & gclid = CJigudCl284CFQ8vaQodteABuw & gclsrc = aw.ds

    I have the 256 GB version, but most high is 512. The combination gives me lots of storage (for me)... 3/4 gig and the drive of NVME m2 is quickly sick. For you, a 1 TB hard drive 7200 RPM and then a NVME m2 could be just the ticket. If you get the second configuration, you can run the 128 gig SATA m2 (of a perhaps $ 50 retail value) and replace it with a model IS 512.

    Although technically only an authorized technician is supposed to remove the back cover, it is not hard to do and you can probably (no guarantee) do it without voiding the warranty.

    If so where is it located?
    Ther would be all issues around extra heat that could be generated etc.?

    I have had mine for about 5/6 months and have had a screen replaced (defective backlight).
    Many other people have had problems?

    I wonder if its worth buy the extended warranty.

    Hello

    As far as I know this laptop takes support only a single HARD disk.
    Check the underside of the laptop. Do you see a second slot (cover) the second HDD?
    I imagine that it has a single HARD drive Bay, and so only a single HARD disk can be used.

    I m not a G40 owner and, therefore, I cannot comment on any other issue.
    But each computer technology may start to malfunction it is why I always recommend buying an extended warranty.
