How to copy the HARD drive?
After the failure of my screen the technician replaced twice and is trying to arrange a replacement machine. How can I copy the hard drive and all the settings and software from one to the other. I'll have to return the damaged machine when I pick up a new one from the dealer.
Hello
I guess you will get exactly the same model of laptop. Right?
In this case I would not copy the entire contents of the HARD drive to another HARD drive, but I would just swap the drives.I guess this would be the simplest method

How to copy a hard drive to another mac
I took the hard drive of my dead book mac pro and you want to put in my new mac pro book using an adapter cable. How di do this?
If the hard drive was part of the failure in a computer, it is not possible to extract data
of one and use it in another. The old disk, when in a box or by using a USB
Kit (universal wiring kit, such as the televised macsales.com) wire usually appear on the desktop of
the computer as a storage drive. You may be able to use "migration assistant" or other methods
to try and get your old files on this disc for use in another computer.
If you have a universal car adapter such as the Epsonexpression model at macsales, they

efforts; but you don't say. If Yes...
You can consider if the computers are identical, you can instead
migrate only the items that could work in the new computer, the old HDD.

problems because incompatible software (including applications, utility, etc.)
can be a lot of trouble; It is best to avoid this kind of migration.
There may be a method to try to migrate using files of Time Machine on the other computer.
Or use an old Mac clones, as a source to get copies of the old user-created

There is little reason to copy anything over an old computer to a new drive.

Copy disk HARD drive in Ultrabay speed
Anyone know why the process of copying files from the primary HARD disk to HDD Ultrabay takes almost 10 (ten) times as long as the copy from the HARD primary to a HDD external USB disk.
I'm trying to copy a system image (Ghost) of 8 GB which takes only 20 minutes outside but 2 or 3 hours for ultrabay.
I'm running a R61 and you just add a HARD drive to the Ultrabay removing the DVD burner.
Thanks for a response.
Fred F.
I made the correction manually through the registry editor.
Just drilling down for
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Find the subkey for the ide primary chanel (in my case it is 0003)
and delete the MasterIdDataChecksum entry.
Reboot will restore this line correctly and all is well.
Reset in PIO Device Manager to UDMA does not correct the above and the next boot back to PIO.

Cannot open iphoto library after copy old HARD drive to the new HARD disk
I had to buy a new MacBook and recover my files, the old MacBook HARD drive is connected to the new via a USB connection and support base. I have successfully transferred all my files to the new disk. However, I can't open the iPhoto library that I just moved through without going through the old drive still connected. I get a message like "cannot open the migrated library. However, the new iPhoto on the new laptop is accessible OK.
Yu try to open the iPhoto Photos or iPhoto library? "Cannot open the migrated library" alert indicates, that you opened the library on Photos for Mac and application Photos changed the name of the library ".migratedphotolibrary" file extension
If you open the photo library, but want to use with iPhoto, change the extension of your iPhoto in ".photolibrary" library file name

How do I copy the hard drive of 1-to-1?
I'm trying to back up our DVR system provided with a very expensive software office (and the warranty on it has already expired.)
So I bought hard disks are identical (to those installed - 3 in total) so now I need to make individual copies of the originals. My idea was to grab each pair of disk (original and backup disks) on my other desktop Windows 7 and do the copy, but what software should I use?
(Again, all I need is just a copy of 1-to-1 because the source and destination drives are identical).
Thanks in advance!
Is it the same thing as cctv?
No idea of what you want to back up - it of just data, or is it a kind of operating system?
If there is an operating system, you will need to either clone it o & o DiskImage software proposed doing the work, but iirc that freeone not sector by sector, not necessary and slow.
I use AOMEI Partition Wizard disk/partition copy - copy sector smart, very fast: www.disk-partition.com/.../disk-copy.html
If there is an operating system - it will start upwards after copy aomei.
I don't know if it's on the aomei free version of backup and restore - it might be.

I keep all my files on a USB key. I want to make a copy or a backup of this USB using another USB key.
=========================
If you have two USB ports...
place a USB stick in each of them.If open windows... Close them.
Reach... Start / computer...
Each USB drive should be recognized
with a drive letter...Example:
Removable (e :)) drive
Removable disk (e :))On the left, click on the drive letters to display a
Directory of readers.Now you can copy and paste or drag and drop
the files from one disk to another.If you have only a USB port... copy all
the files in a folder on your desktop and

I didn't know that encarta World Atlas 2001 listed in the Windows Vista Compatibility Center. So it probally is not compatible with Windows Vista.
You might see if the compatibility mode to operate.If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
Use the following steps:
Run the program compatibility WizardOpen the program compatibility Wizard by clicking the start, clicking Control Panel, clicking programs, and then clickingUse an older program with this version of Windows.
Follow the instructions in the wizard.
If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation for the program and, using the wizard disk, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. The wizard is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.
To change compatibility settings manually for a program, right-click the icon of the program, clickProperties and then click the Compatibility tab.
I hope this helps.

Please visit the following links: How to copy files to an external hard drive in Lightroom | Adobe evangelists - Julieanne Kost. Adobe TV
Despite the title, this video explains how to MOVE pictures, not how to copy.
There is no way to make copies of the photos using Lightroom, you can move the photos using Lightroom.

Lightroom will result in no records per day, except when you import photos. If I could make a suggestion, leave your files in the same "mess" they are in now and use the keywords and other metadata to allow you to organize and search.

PowerCLI syntax: copy-hard drive

I installed the latest version and tried to copy a hard drive. (I am mistaken, this hard drive copy should act as vmkfstools-i?)
You have sombody it works? I always get:

P87-1414: duplicate manufacture a new hard disc on a hard drive.
Hello
Currently I have Office P7-1414 and only 1 TB. I would switch to 2 TB or 3 TB. Can I install a new hard drive and copy the hard drive of my current manufacturing of HP on a new hard drive? Will it work as manufacturing of HP came with the PC?
Thank you very much.
WND
WNDYou are welcome.
I need to apologize. I went to the Samsung website, only to find that they no longer have more HDD 1 TB. Therefore, I had to find another brand that has been at a reasonable price. Normally, I buy WD HDD and Samsung SSD. This is a Western Digital HARD drive , which should be good. Also, here's the installation guide which includes a FREE copy of the Software from Acronis True Image WD Addition. I is one of the better programs cloning. My combined search of better performance and reliability with the right price. The one in the link, this is what I found.
The procedure I described in my last post should work with Acronis.
