  • the start-up of the firewire drive how to again install ssd internal?

    Hi, I have not used assistant Migration but opted for clean installs the upgrade from 2009 to 2015 MBP.

    I'm good to go except the old is only bootable from disk firewire external, how to take the exact image of what I use (mess on the desktop and documents!) more to the internal ssd that I already deleted and partitioned?

    I want it essentially as it looks and works from the firewire drive, now start and look just as it does internal ssd

    Do I need to initiate a new installation of El Cap first of all on the ssd? or is there a tool/way to copy such existing firewire bootable environment on the internal hard drive?

    Thank you for taking the time to examine this problem.

    Although apparently you can start an external drive to snow leopard, it will not work if installed on the internal drive. As it is not backward compatible.  Otherwise I would say cloning the drive on the internal drive. Migration wizard is the only thing I can tell you to use. But be aware that some of the apps for Snow Leopard will not run in the new computer and the operating system. You should see if there are updates for them. Then you need to recreate the desktop again.

  • the hard drive of my computer is purchased full.i a drive.how external hard change outside the primary disk so I can download music easily?

    the hard drive of my computer is purchased full.i a drive.how external hard change outside the primary disk so I can download music easily.right now my external backup just my computer that isn't doing me good

    original title: external hard drives

    You don't want to change your external drive to your main drive.

    You can move your music files on the external drive - or you can move other data on the disk to make room for your music on the internal drive.

    What applications do you use to play music?

    As described in the first link below, you can move your full "My Documents" folder on the external drive.  Alternatively, you can simply move your music files.  If such an arrangement would give you a satisfactory performance, however, depends on how your external drive is connected (for example, USB 1.1, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, eSATA, Firewire, network) and other hardware features of your computer.

    Not all of the following conditions will be applied to you, but some of the tips can be useful.

    There are a number of things you can do to- temporarily - free up disk space.  The only real solution, however, is to get a bigger internal hard drive.   You can move the data to your external drive, but if it's the data that you use frequently, slower access times may annoy you.  Therefore, I do not recommend that you move your My Documents folder in its entirety on the external drive, but you can certainly do this by following the related instructions.

    • You can run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK)
    • You can reduce the size allocated for the restoration of the system to about 1 GB (right click on desktop > properties > system restore > settings)
    • You can disable hibernation (if you don't use it) (right click on an empty spot on the desktop > properties > screen saver > power > Hibernate)
    • You can disable the indexing of the drive, which will also speed up your computer a bit (http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp)
    • You can reduce the size of your Internet browser cache (depending on the browser that you use)
    • You can remove most of the $NTUninstallKBxxxxxx files $ following the directions here: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Hotfix_backup.htm (read the warnings in the gray box first)
    • See also:

    " How to recover disk space on Windows Server 2008 and Windows XP computers? ."

    " Forty ways to free disk space ."

    But none of these answers you will earn really large amounts of space for very long.  The term solution time is a bigger hard drive.

    In the meantime, download and run JDiskReport, that will show you graphically what files take up more space and seem to so indicate what files you must move it to your external drive.  If you want to move an application, you will need to uninstall and then reinstall it specifying your external drive as the installation location.  You can not simply move the files.

  • How can I copy files from project Waveburner to another internal drive?

    How can I copy files from project Waveburner to another internal drive without losing the connection to the files audio orig.?

    Thank you for your time,

    Since no one answered my call, I sat and researched and studied WaveBurner behavior and I can myself answer my question and solve. Since there were a lot of people asking similar questions on WaveBurner files I will post what I learned.

    Whenever you drop your audio files in the list window to make your WaveBurner CD copy not copy your audio files, but relies on the original audio file, where they are located. So whenever you move the files orig. and you open WaveBurner, it can't find those and displays an error window to suggest it will search for the missing file or if you know where he is now lets you find manually. WaveBurner usually place the .wb3 project file that contains everything including your home folder.

    For this reason, I reserve now an audio file WaveBurner also folder in my home folder. In order to save themselves from WaveBurner cannot find the audio file, all audio files that I do, I put in my folder of audio files WaveBurner first, then copy them in WaveBurner from there.

    When I need to use a bigger hard drive I copy .wb3-WaveBurner projects based, but also my

    Sound folder WaveBurner for the home folder on the new hard drive.

    WaveBurner is now all audio files without problem.

    I hope that this will be a unique problem to someone else. Happy WaveBurning.

  • "How to remove the files of SATA internal drive APPLE HDD HTS547550A9E384 physical medium.

  • How can I move a folder for every user of C: / continue on another internal drive?

    Hello

    I had a good read of the site, looked at a lot of pages & get more & more irritated.

    I recently acquired a new PC. I opted for a 128 GB SSD to run the operating system & some programs that use a lot of processing (editing)

    However, the PC also has a 2nd internal drive (3 TB) that I intend to store ALL my files on.

    I don't want windows to record everything in my C: / drive, as it's a SSD & small...

    I found this thread http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/win-7-wont-accept-change-to-default-download/9d9c90c0-e2c8-40c9-9b0e-fa2ee17086ae that looks almost like what I want, but not quite...

    I want to move all the users on the c: / drive. In fact, I want to spend what is not a program!

    What I have to do a folder using the method shown in this thread - i.e. do it for each of the files in the folder of each user?

    I hope not :(

    Also, I heard that SSDS have a finite number of times that you can record in them.

    Help, please. I have spent rather a lot of money on this machine & it allows you to respond to my needs, instead of frustrating me as much as my old vista machine did well...

    Thank you for what you can offer in ordinary English.

    You cannot move the 'Users' all things, but you can redirect "My Documents" to another drive... See here...

  • Implementation of LR3 - external or internal drive

    Hello

    I am new to Lightroom and am looking forward to set up the application properly from the start. I have a new Mac i7 with 700 GB of free space, and it seems reasonable to place all my images and catalogue LR3 on disk internal. However... I read a lot of contradictory comments in Lightrooms forums seems to indicate that it is bad idea!

    I would be grateful for a definitive answer before installing the s/w.

    Thanks, Katy

    Someone said photos and catalog on the internal drive is a BAD idea? I disagree with you. (And I don't remember read either)

    If you have several internal hard drives, then Yes, people say (I didn't myself) that you could improve response times by putting pictures on a different drive from the catalog. But is not still make it a BAD idea to put it all on one disc.

    Also, go ahead and install the software, all of this is easily changed (as long as you do it right) If you decide to make changes.

  • System restore after the shaping of internal drive and re - install XP from CD

    Recently, when we did a re-start, there was a disk read error, and we could not re - open our system.

    After several attempts and try many different things, we have formatted the internal drive and reinstalled XP from our CD.

    Now, we want to restore our system to the way it was before the accident.

    We have the external hard drive I think the system restore on it.

    Can we some how use it to restore our system so that it works in the same way as it did before the crash?

    We also have Carbonite for our records, but I don't think they can help us with the system.

    Thanks for any advice you can offer on this.

    After a reformat of hd, the system restore will restore the previous time, xp

    should be in a phase of flood, & all xp updates have been removed. What you are

    trying to do is xp reset user (s) & user data. At this point, the manual settings would be

    should be used, unless carbonite might be involved.

    However, once you get xp back to a user mode, create a backup in case this happens

    Once again. To do this in xp, xp installation cd, locate the wizard file transfer, once it starts, configure pc as "old."

    the computer', select the / data files you want to save, save to the new folder that you created.

    Once his blow thru, folder on a cd.

    In addition, reading disc errors are usually a sign that the hd is a failure.

  • Restart from a different internal drive

    I have a Powermac. I would add an extra internal drive in order to boot from 10.8.5 on the new drive and keep my use of Adobe indesign and Illustrator. If possible, I would then upgrade my main drive to a newer operating system.

    Two questions: 1) are there problems I'll met by adding another disk to my Powermac rather than using a separate external drive? (2) what is the best upgrade for my main drive? … Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan?

    Thank you!

    The forum in which you've posted is for workstations that were built with different models of the PowerPC microprocessor (1994-2006), who cannot use the most recent operating systems written for Intel processors.  It would be helpful if you can include additional information such as the specific model of your Mac Pro and if necessary your subject can be moved to a more appropriate forum.

  • Limit of 2 TB on 2nd HARD drive, how to change without affecting the system reserved Partition?

    I have 2 drives - 240GB SSD where Windows is installed and a HD in Toshiba 3 TB of data.

    After installing Windows 7 for the SSD, it creates a system reserved 100 MB Toshiba hard disk partition. I now want to create a single data (d) on the Toshiba partition but disk management only limit myself to create a partition of 2 TB and a 746 GB partition. Past posts to dig suggests it's the MBR problem - then what can I do now to break this limit, without deleting or play with the 100MB system reserved partition?

    Hi YT :)

    You're right, that this problem is caused by the fact that your hard drive is cut using the style of partition table MBR, which allows only to create partitions to a maximum of 2 TB size each. In order to 'break' this limit, you must convert your hard drive in a GPT partition table, which does not have this limit (well, the limit to 128 TB then there it doesn't matter much). You can convert your hard disk from MBR to GPT without loss of data. Follow the instructions in the tutorial below:

    http://www.thewindowsclub.com/convert-MBR-to-GPT-disk

    Method 2 and 3 explain how to perform the conversion without loss of data, method 3 is the easiest.

    Let me know if you have any questions.
