Change startup disk 'C' to a ' on the new generation.

I have a new version with Win 7 64 bit on a small (64Gig) SSD with a 1 TB hard drive. Is it possible swap the drive assignments of letters between these two discs, which was the start-up of the PC of the ' SSD drive?  I would do this to save the little room for manoeuvre on the SSD to have default installation programs on a small space. As you know, many installs does not give you the option to select the installation path.  Thanks in advance for your answer or any socioenvironnemental that produce the same results.

You cannot change the boot on Windows drive letter designation, it will not allow him.

I tried and it won't work.

    Welcome to the Apple community.

    You need to disconnect your old ID in System Preferences > iCloud > sign out and then sign in with your new code.

    You will also need to do this for iTunes, App Store, Messages, FaceTime, and books.

  • Change startup disk

    My current boot drive is full, and this causes problems.

    What is the best way to install a new system on a different startup disk and I have to reinstall all my applications everywhere.

    Any help and advice appreciated.

    If you want to replace internally, you can use SuperDuper or double clone to create a clone. Then format the new disk and either clone back or set up fees and use the installation wizard to migrate.

  • Startup disk has failed - what are the options for replacement

    I have a Dimension 8400 BIOS A05 running (if I can remember you corrrectly). The SATA C drive supplied with the system crashed recently and will no longer start up. I tried various diags, but they all fail. I also had a USB drive adapter to try to access the drive from another computer... the disc turns, but I do not see the drive.

    I want to know what constraints and options are there in the choice of a replacement drive? (I wonder if I am limited on ability. The original drive is a WD740GD-75FLA1 (74 GB). Could I replace it with a SATA capacity more (I don't mind if the replacement is a WD drive again or not.)

    And, keeping in mind the BIOS, I must update that when I replace the HARD drive?

    In addition, this good old machine still runs XP SP3 and I plan to switch to Win 7 at the time of the installation of the new disc. Points to consider regarding the choice of the player?

    BTW - some time after the purchase of this PCI added a second drive hard - one 250 GB SATA drive. Do I need considered as in the choice of the total capacity of the disk online, I will be once the new drive arrives? Oh, and although I don't speak of this second disc - it works fine with the USB adapter so my problem looks like most likely to be a disk problem rather than say, a question of power cable or block.

    Thanks in advance for your comments.

    Any standard desktop SATA drive under 2 t fine - having said that, what you have now is a WD Raptor 10 K RPM drive.   They are now called Velociraptor - if you are looking for this level of performance of the player, they are the only SATA 10 K rpm disks designed to use desktop.

  • Logical disk partition not recognized in the New Installation of Windows

    Hello.  I would appreciate someone to give me any advice.  I don't know if the problem I encounter is an oversight on my part, but it was not something that I anticipated.

    To give a bit of background, until last week, I was running a Windows 7 system on my computer which included three hard drives (4 TB, 2 TB, and a smaller disk).  The 4 TB drive included my boot drive with Windows on a partition of 2 TB and then the unallocated space has been transformed into a new partition in disk management, received the drive letter G and was used for long term backup of data.

    Since then, I built a new computer and installed a new version of Windows 7 on a small SSD.  During this process, I have not all disks connected to the machine (except the DVD player) so that there is no possibility of installation of Windows, do something for these readers I didn't (I got burned by this time long ago when you reinstall Windows 95, which makes me just feel old).  After the whole installation process was performed and the new version of Windows has been working well, I opened the machine and plugged the drive 4 TB and 2 TB, assuming that Windows did not recognize them when I started.

    When I started in Windows, Windows does indeed recognize the two drives and assign drive letters.  But in the case of the car of 4 TB, he acknowledges that the partition containing my old boot drive.  No drive letter is assigned to the secondary partition.  When I go to disk management, it shows all of the remaining spaces as unallocated space, but seems not yet quite recognize space completely in the way he would if I'd created directly.  For example, if I right click in that box, I don't get the normal options to create a new Simple Volume.  Everything on this menu is grayed out except properties and help.

    So I guess I have two questions.  (Leaving aside the possibility of a hardware problem), was I wrong to assume that a hard drive divided into two partitions could be transferred from a Windows machine to another?  I honestly thought that no matter where no matter what Windows 7 machine would recognize the two drives, but maybe I'm missing something fundamental.

    Two and more important still, there advice for access to the data on this drive?

    Hello

    A problem that could happen is that the disk partition has security setting so that the profile of the user that created it would be able to access it, and seeing that you are trying to access from a new profile may not not allow you to access

    To access these files, you can try to boot from the old hard drive manually to change the setting of the partition or simply manually move the files and delete the partition.

    To start from the old disk hard restart have the hard drive is plugged in, restart the computer and while it is booting F12 key to select the boot device, after that, select the old hard disk and access them normally.

    hope this has helped.

  • Disk GUID partition? and the new disk utility

    The new disk utility Version 15.0 delivered with El Capitan, differs from earlier versions of disk utility.

    Most will have noticed the absence of the utility to fix permissions.

    However, check the type of disc format is a little more difficult and well.

    The player must be selected, and then the information button must be selected.

    Then, you must look at the "File System" line to see whether or not it is OS X Extended.

    Then you look at the line "Logged" to see if it is 'yes' or a 'no '.

    How do we know if it's a GUID partition or a utility with the new APM partition?

    Sorry to contradict you, but general information about the disks are always where they used to be

  • Recovery disks do not work with the new hard drive?

    Hello, everyone.

    I have a laptop HP (pavilion dv7-1245dx) and the hard drive is dead. I had never gotten to burn my recovery disks, so I ordered new ones from HP. When I installed the new hard drive and popped in the disk to reinstall the operating system, it gave me the error message:

    "This PC is not supported by the system recovery discs. You can continue to recover this system with these discs. »

    Error code: 0100-30 FC-3602-3603

    The original hard drive was a Hitachi, 320 GB SATA

    The new hard drive is a WD 500 GB SATA

    Any assistance anyone can give would be great. :]

    EDIT: Trying to recover a Vista operating system

    For anyone who has the same problem, I found a solution. I cloned the original hard drive using the Clonezilla fallback option. After using Clonezilla to image on the new hard disk, the partition which held that most of the data of the laptop is not mountable, however the partition containing the restore partition was a perfect copy. I turned on the computer, hit escape to access the menu (for a list of options such as boot order, etc, which included an option for recovery), and then choose recovery option. While the recovery discs, I received from HP refused to work with the new hard drive, the Vista restored cloned recovery partition without flaw.

  • Two hard disk drives, how to remove the new E drive in XP?

    My XP system crashed and I reinstalled the Windows XP operating system and I have now 2 hard drives, the original C with 76 GB of space and the new E with only 2.5 GB of space and I get a message that says that my disk space is insufficient, and I can download is nothing more nor can I use the system restore because it says that there is not enough disk space.  How can I get rid of this new drive E and keep my old C drive?

    You told us that if you try to install with a CD or a restore partition by pressing an F key?

    The product key sticker is on the side of the hard drive?  It's a bit a strange place for the Windows product key sticker, this sticker is usually outside the computer.  You really need to make sure that you have the product key, otherwise you will not be able to install Windows!  The product key is made up of five series alphanumeric each containing 5 digits or characters in this format: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.

    I can only emphasise this point, you better, make sure you have the right key, otherwise you will be up the proverbial Creek without a paddle!  If you can still start the old installation of Windows, I suggest strongly that do you use ProductKey of Nirsoft to retrieve and check the key used for installation, ProductKey is available here: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html

    How many hard drives you have installed in the computer?  If you have only one disc, and if you use a CD for installation, then when you get to the selection screen of disc and partition delete all partitions on the disk and then create a new partition using all available space on the drive and format it NTFS.  Once you do that and before you start Windows Setup, restart the computer with the CD and then install Windows on the new partition, this restart after you delete and recreate partitions avoids assignments of unexpected drive letter by the installation program.  It goes without saying that all data on the disk will be lost when you delete the existing partitions, and then create a new.

    When you install Windows make sure that only the keyboard, mouse and monitor is connected to the computer, disconnect all other devices such as external hard drives, printers, flash drives, etc.

  • How to block the new generation of pop ups and "pop-ins."

    He seems to have been a radical change in the design of Web site lately. In particular, it seems to be a new generation of windows that appear after only a certain amount of elapsed time pop up or when we scroll pretty far down on the page. Most are designed to 'pop' on the sides; These usually crept in almost like an animation.

    I have pop-up blocking enabled in FF and I tried some add-ons, but I'm not able to defeat these "features". All advice is appreciated.

    Sorry, these "ins slide" are not related to windows 'pop up' or 'pop-under' of windows. That type of display is done through HTML5 coding. Do not know how this can be prevented, but they are certainly aggravating.
