  Computer model: p7-1058uk Hi, I'm trying to reinstall my windows recovery kit 7 I bought from best2serve my OCZ Vertex 60 GB ssd Series 3. But I get this error message "this computer's hard drive is smaller than the original supplied hard disk.

I have formatted the ssd drive, deleted the partition and creates a new one with a program called gparted. I can't access my computer until I can reinstall this recovery again kit. Thank you

  Hello:

  I'm surprised that the same recovery disks set worked the first time.  Unfortunately, the error you are getting is the norm. I don't know any solution other than to get a bigger hard drive to the approximate size as the original.

  I have a solution for you if you want to use...

  If you can read the product key 25 character Windows 7 on the sticker COST Microsoft on your PC, you can download single files Windows 7 ISO to burn it to a DVD for the version of windows (Pro, home) that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the sticker COST Microsoft on the PC.

  You must also select the language installation provided with your PC, or the product key will not work.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program.

  Use the 25-character product key to activate the installation. It's good for the 32-bit or 64-bit version of W7.

  Then go to the support page and drivers for your PC install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

• Windows 7 computer portable HARD drive connected to a professional XP S3

  Windows 7 computer portable HARD drive connected via USB to a desktop XP Professional SP3 PC.

  PC shows the folders, I have access to the folder of Photos, but cannot access the Documents folder where files I need. I tried to share the folder, but it does not work.

  Any suggestions please?

  Probably, this can be corrected by taking possession of these files / directories.  Once you do this, however, you will find probably your permissions in disarray try to re - install the drive in your computer to Windows 7...

• Computer failure, hard drive readable: can not find the 5 Lightroom Catalog.

  Computer failure, hard drive readable: can not find the 5 Lightroom Catalog. Help appreciated.

  I used 5.3 LR on Win7, never pay attention in the name of the catalog used. My photo files were on the same physical hard disk D: partition.

  Now that I have a new computer Intel NUC, with Win7 installed on drive C: (SSD M.2), I plugged my old drive hard drive E: (old C :) and drive F (old d :))

  I have re-installed LR 5.3 and also upgraded to LR 6, , but the problem is that I can't find the catalog I was using with LR 5.3

  I searched for *.lrcat and see all previous catalogues lightroom starting with LR 2, 3, 4, 5, getting bigger and bigger, but not catalog 5 including the current date.

  The catalog would have another name or extension?

  I have the old C: drive. Is there a config file that would confirm where the catalogue is supposed to be?

  Help!

  HM, it is clear that it is not found on your old C: (so E :). )

  And there is no config file to tell where to find the catalog to Lightroom. It's just that the catalog is in the place you choose (most of the people chose to have the catalog to the location by default...).

  Method 2: Try running the Fixit tool from the link below.

  Method 3: If the previous step fails, check if the hard drive is detected in disk management.

  To open disk management

  (a) from the start menu, click Run.

  (b) in the Open box, type diskmgmt.msc, and then click OK.

   

  Method 4: Also try to follow the steps from the link below.

• Image portable HARD drive for transfer to the new computer portable HARD drive on the same laptop

  Location:

  Laptop was to receive the new HARD drive more big;

  Configuration is complex and has a lot of data and SW engineering.

  Own re - install would take too long.

  In operating systems earlier I just created an image, installed the new HARD disk and restored the image.

  In Vista, it does not. New HARD drive with image does not start. (Partition is correctly selected as active)

  Tried other methods, including Robocopy but without success.

  Sysprep is the right solution? If so, how will this affect users profiles and installed applications?

  Thank you

  Paraxis

  Hi Paraxis,

  Whenever we use the system image and restore from it, the hardware must be same, as has already been made to backup. The hard disk partition should also be in the same size.

  You can use Sysprep on your computer and check if that helps you solve the problem.

  Preparation system (Sysprep) tool is a technology that you can use with other deployment tools to install Windows on new hardware, operating systems. The Sysprep tool prepares a computer for imaging of disc or delivery to a customer of the configuration of the computer to create a new computer security identifier (SID) when the computer is restarted. In addition, the Sysprep tool cleans up user-specific and settings specific to the computer and the data that should not be copied to a destination computer.

  Access the links below for more information on Sysprep.

• computer portable HARD drive

  My motherboard the HP G56-130SA died on me and I want to take out the HARD drive and install in my office to copy files on. Can anyone put me in the right direction in order to get an adapter (the United Kingdom) which will connect the cable of the HARD disk on my desktop SATA? Preference in-House then I can reuse as a spare drive!

  Have the same problem with the slimline DVD drive. I got a lead for the SATA but not the power cable.

  The DVD player has a different connector. 'S called it miniSATA.

  computer laptop optical mini-SATA to SATA Adapter regular

  However, a (SATA) hard drive of the laptop connects to the same connectors SATA Office. Same data and power cables. If your portable player seems different, it is just in a basket that had to be removed to expose the naked reader or has a connector on to attach to the motherboard for the laptop. I assure you that there is a regular SATA drive. Just open the side of the desktop and connect a SATA cable data and power on the drive from the laptop and the other end to the mother/power supply card and the reader will register and you can copy files over, it pick up when you're done.

  Many jobs now have a support to mount a 2.5 drive inches (mainly for the SSD) but if yours doesn't, you can get a 2.5 inches for support adapter 3.5 inches like that and permanently mount the drive of the laptop in the office.

• How to create the image that was stored on the HARD drive

  Hello

  When I fixed my windows, I chose "Restore Factory Setting" options.
  This happens to reformat my hard drive and I lose the "TOSHIBA HDD Recovery" image.

  Is it possible to create this image again?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hello

  The use of the Toshiba HDD image would format the HARD drive, but should not remove the Toshiba HDD image files that are stored on the second partition!
  That's why I put t know why you said you lost the image of Toshiba HDD.
  That is a little strange.

  On the other hand, you can try to create the recovery disk using tool of preinstalled Toshiba Toshiba recovery disc Creator called.
  This tool helps you to create the recovery disk using Toshiba image files stored on the second partition.
  I think you should try this.

  See you soon

• Hello. I created an image of HD main on a hard drive external drive. It is: HD used 282 GB 320 GB, disk backup image has 251 gb. Is all backed up? Can anyone help on this? Thank you

  Hello. I created a disk image of my mac HD on an external hard drive. It is: my mac HD is used 282 320 GB, backup disk image, I did a 251 gb. Is all backed up? I need to be sure before you reformat the HD and install mac so original. Can anyone help on this? Thank you

  Probably not.

  Need an external hard drive as large or larger than the drive you want to back up.

  You have not said what backup software you are using.

  I use Carbon Copy Cloner by https://bombich.com/ $40.00 there. You can also use Super Duper.

  These two products will make a bootable backup complete or a clone of you existing hard drive, including your recovery partition.

  Once you made the backup, if your hard drive has never been to fail, you could simply start on the external backup drive.

  If you back up because you're upgrading the hard drive for an SSD, you can put the SSD in an external enclosure and clone your drive in the SSD, test it, and then replace the HD when you are confident that it works well.

  P.S. External hard drives are cheap these days. Here is an example: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-my-passport-ultra-1tb-external-usb-3-0-2-0-portab le-hard-drive-classic-black/7869174.p? id...

• New computer, old hard drive. Activation?

  I got an old compaq presario 5140 or something and it came with vista on a hard drive of preset. I recently built a new computer with parts and essentially have a new computer. I decided since my old hard drive worked well and was compatible SATA, I want to just install it in the new computer, too.  Now, windows tells me to restart my activation key is not valid, and I need to get a new (I him I had preinstalled about 7 years I have therefore had no idea here), buy a new key or visit support.
  So I ask here what I have to do. I need my computer today for a job if I got quick responses would be greatly appreciated!

  You cannot transfer a preinstalled license.

  OEM and retail licenses:

  If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

  The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

  If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
  But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

  A single license is a single Installation.

• new connection card mother and a Pro to windows 7 64 bit computer processor, hard drive will be OK

  Some time ago, I built a PC with an operating system of Windows 7 64 bit with an ASrock 880GMH/USB3 R2.0 motherboard equipped with an AMD Athlon II X processor 2 260 3.20 GHz which took his life an intermittent fault, the fault is that it intermittently does not detect not the monitor, when she made this so I shut down the computer with the power button because it is a white screen, once I do that then it will boot normally for a while, then happens again, I've worked on this problem for far too long and decided to change my motherboard and processor, what I want to know is, 'it will affect my hard drive. I have a recovery and a picture of disk and file system and files backed up on an external drive, not long ago I installed a new larger hard drive and installed a clean, so it doesn't have something to do with the hard drive, I'd rather not have to do another clean install properly reactivate and I have already once recently reactivated.

  http://notebooks.com/2011/02/25/how-to-restore-a-backup-from-an-external-hard-drive-in-Windows-7/

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
