Copy of the external hard drive on drive c

I had a problem with internet explore and had to do a full restore. I backed up my files on a portable USB hard drive and perform the restore. Now I wish to backup files on my c drive, but cannot very well how to do. If I'm going to restore the files system and maintenance, it tells me that there is no backup file on the computer, which is correct. It does give me an option to restore from the hard drive either by car f.

Help, please.

Hello

·        Is your external hard drive recognized by the system (you see it in computer science)?

·        How did you do the backup? Have you used any software third party backup or you did just copy paste the files on the external hard drive?

·        You are able to find the files you want to restore it on external hard drive when you explore drive F:\?

·        Are you able to copy the files on the system without using the brand-new and restore directly?

·        What type of backup make you, a PC full back up or backup and restore?

Please specify your question so that we can help you in a better way.

If the external hard drive has the .bak file, then only the external hard drive will be shown in the backup and restore.

  • How to use the book of fonts with fonts that are installed on the external hard drive

    I have all my fonts to a folder on an external hard drive. How can I use font book to manage these fonts? I want to keep on the external hard drive, not book fonts move them to my main hard drive. For some reason, font book does not know where are the fonts and as soon as I show, he sets in motion all the fonts on my hard drive in a folder/library/fonts. NOT what I want! I don't want thousands of fonts clutter up my main hard drive. I just can't understand how the font book. Only option, I can see, it is 'Install' and it is then the copy begins. I read and tests all day and I just can't understand this. Thanks for your suggestions.

    Font book handles only the fonts that are present in one of the folders of fonts on the startup disk. It can disable these fonts, but it won't work as a custodian of the fonts installed also. I would have suggested using a symbolic link to the folder fonts on the external drive to ~/Library/Fonts, but apparently that no longer works: allow to use symlinks in ~/Library/Fonts

  • copy photos on external hard drive

    Can someone give me a method step by step to copy the photos and videos on my photos/iphotos to my mac to an external hard drive please? As far as I understand it, is not simply a matter of copy and pasting. Or is it? Sorry in advance, I'm not very technical interest.

    Do you want only the pictures and videos on the external drive, or do you want a backup of your iPhoto Library library or a library of Photos?

    For a full backup, select the iPhoto library and photo library in the Finder and drag the libraries in the folder to your external drive.  To store libraries, the external drive must have the file system format "Mac OS extended (journaled).

    If you only want copies of your photos and videos, export them Photos and iPhoto.

    See Terence Devlinuser Tip: export for iPhoto

    It explains how to export your photos from iPhoto.  Use the same method in Photos to export your photos in folders on the external hard drive.

  • IPhoto migration from an external drive: stuck with hard links to the external hard drive

    I got my IPhoto library on an external drive. To migrate to pictures, I dragged the IPhoto (on the external hard disk) file to the Photos icon.

    Migration went well, but instead of importing data to the external hard drive to my macbook, Photos stored links on the external drive. Now whenever I start the Photos, the system tells me it takes the external drive to view the contents of the library.

    To resolve this problem, I tried to copy my IPhoto library on my macbook and redo the import. It does not work: Photos, said the library has been upsized already (I noticed that the IPhoto library has been renamed 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary')

    Is it possible to reverse the migration or mark the IPhoto library as not yet migrated? Any other suggestions?

    Thanks for your help!

    Rename the copy of the iPhoto library on your internal drive to 'iPhoto Library.photolibrary '.  Then drag the library renamed on the Photos icon and pictures will create a new photo library on your internal drive.

  • After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer

    After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

    Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) viaControl Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

    4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

    5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    6. do a clean install of NIS 2011 (using your product ID, if need be) & reboot. CF. http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

    NOTE: Do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

  • Emails in outlook express may be archived or copied to an external hard drive?

    Emails in outlook express may be archived or copied to an external hard drive. I have about 8 years I want to lose.

    See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6 Just run OEQB and it will create a backup in a directory that you specify.  I would recommend the backup on the disk hard local and then copy on the external drive so its slower.

    The OE files are very sensitive to corruption and many people lose messages per day (see point 2 on this page), so you should go often enough if you want to keep your messages.  Hard drives may also fail and you lose everything.

    Right-click your folder of the image and choose copy...

  • The initialization of the external hard drive

    I don't see the external hard drive, WD450AA, in an enclosure closed when I look in the directories of the computer, but I can see it under "Disk management" in the management of the computer.  This drive came a Compac and still has XP on it.  I have files on what I would like to copy.  It is said that it is "not initialized".  When I right click to initialize, it will finally tell me that the "device is not ready".  The rider on the external hard drive is set to 'Master '.  I tried 'Slave' and 'Cable Select' without success.  I also checked that all the drivers are updated for my hade 6700Y PC with Vista Home Premium.

    To see if the problem is domething on the computrer rather than the HD or its enclosure; try to connect the player to the USB port on a different computer.

  • reloading the files of the external hard drive to the new computer laptop

    I'm trying to reloaded files etc. from an external hard drive to my laptop. I took the files of my old office that was on is way out, so just in case I lost them all I copied them. I tried setting up my external hard drive and transfer just a couple of files just to see if it would work. I sent them to my desktop from my laptop and they also went to my documents, but once the hard drive is disconnected files will not open. I do not know what I'm dong wrong as I am not very computor spirit, so that the answers would be useful in silly English thank you. Sorry to be so long-winded.

    Hello @shedeval

    I understand that you have copied your files on an external drive from your old computer.

    You tried to copy the files to the new computer, but when you disconnect the external hard drive the files are no longer accessible.

    I think that you have created or copied a shortcut to the new computer and not the actual files.  When you're logged out outside the new computer had more disk access to open files.

    I would like to redo the copy and when you finished externally, log out and then try again.

    Good luck!

  • Lightroom does not recognize the external hard drive?

    When I try to import files from anywhere - my office, or a SD - card in Lightroom 4 or now 6 (updated just to see if it would help), Lightroom is the photo file in what I would call an external hard drive of ghost. It creates a second external hard drive file that seems to be a copy of the original. A few weeks ago, the name of external hard drives has been accidentally changed or partially erased when I backup my hard drive without supervision in Time Machine. I'm working on an iMac with OS 10.11.4. At that time there Lightroom could not find any of my files of course! So, I renamed with much attention the hard drive exactly the same original name and Lightroom everything very well - recognized except, I started having this problem of import. When I import a file of the photo, he put it in an external hard drive of Ghost with the same name, size and number of files. If I try to move the file to the real external hard drive where it is supposed to go, Lightroom told me that the file already exists in Lightroom. If I look in my external drive outside of Lightroom, the file is where it is supposed to be. I tried just 'Add' the file to Lightroom, rather than copy or move, and that's okay. I tried to re-pointing Lightroom on your drive. Does not work. The only way I can get the files to go where I want they is to import, then highlight the recently imported file and move it to the folder of the mother. So, I have to move the file into the folder of the mother in the subfolder and then delete the now empty ghost the disk folder manually hard phantom. Help! Is there a way to merge the external hard drive with his ghost (or duplicate)? I can't find anything in the forums or documentation, and when I tried to call tech support, I came across a brick wall which is very frustrating. They said I couldn't get help by phone, I have to use the forums. So, please, let me know what I can try.

    Hello Deborah

    Seems to me this is probably a problem of conflict with the readers in your catalog and LR is confusing where to put images and creates a clone instead. You have to work smart to get rid of the clone disk keeping the images with the same folder structure. If it's a long process, however, I'll try to be as simple as I could.

    To do a test at White folder on the drive itself out of Lightroom that must be maintained at the same place where the main images folder (main folder means - the very first folder under your player in your catalogue which should include all subfolders on the disc itself), then put a picture in the test folder and import it. the test folder will be part of the new drive of clone in catalog you would then move the main folder of the Original disc to the Clone drive in your catalog. Once you are done with the displacement of all the structures of folders in the test under drive clone folder. The original drive that was not identified by Lightroom would be gone if this isn't the case you can remove it manually and this is how you would leave with single drive with all your files/images existing and if you try to import the images now. They would go directly in the same destination folder that you choose on the screen to import instead of going in any drive clone/ghost.

    Thanks Deborah for bringing This issue to our view. And I amso glad I was able to solve this problem for you on call.
