  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to copy a hard drive to another removable disk?

    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.

    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
    Then copy them to the other thumb
    drive.

    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

    Run the program compatibility Wizard

    1. Open the program compatibility Wizard by clicking the start, clicking Control Panel, clicking programs, and then clickingUse an older program with this version of Windows.

    2. 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.

    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.

  • 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

    WND

    You 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.
