Physically? Sure. Without removing it from its holster and moving into the computer? N °
Buy a new internal drive for the computer - bigger than the current one. Use the utility it gives with the purchase of most readers of detail (or download from the OEM drive manufacturers Web site) to clone the old smaller disk on the newest disc with much new spaces. Fact.
I suggest you do the following:
Do a house cleaning and the dust of this hard drive:
You can free up disk space (will also help get rid of the things that you do not use) through the following steps:
Windows XP should take between 4.5 and 20 GB * with * an Office suite, editing Photo software, alternative Internet browser (s), various Internet plugins and a host of other things installed.

You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...
When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:
-Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
-Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
-Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.
You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...
1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
2. click on the System Restore tab.
3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
5. click on OK. Then click OK again.
You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...
Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...
-Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
-Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
-On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
-Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
-Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
-Click OK.
-Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
-Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.
You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

You're probably done with free space that you did not have before, and a little bit of a cleaner system. If your hard drive is not ridiculously small or you use any products AutoDesk and Adobe on this computer - you should be able to free up enough space by moving * your * stuff.

Hi amireos,
Yes, you can create your workflow where you can keep all your images on the external hard drive and the Lightroom catalog file as well.
If you start with Lightroom and then use the Destination location as external hard drive when you import your image of the external source such as a camera or SD.
If you already have your Images on the Mac HD drive, then play all your Image on the external hard drive first and then import images directly from there.
Finally, you can change the location of the Lightroom Catalog as well.
Default location: folder on the Mac Drive HD, there is folder called Lightroom that you can move on the external drive too (however catalog Lightroom can't memory space as its only import previews of the images is not the real image and full)
Once you move the file catalog Lightroom external hard disk, then you need to browse the catalog file when you launch Lightroom only once.
See thread: LR catalog moving on external hard drive

ICloud Keychain how can I change the phone number needed to verify the code text for me? The number it was sent is an old phone number of my friends that I do not have access to the.
Try this from another thread I saw.
On iOS, go to settings > iCloud > keychain and tap button to disable iCloud keychain. (you will be asked to delete or keep the passwords on device) I chose to delete...
Then turn it back on, and pop - up chose reset iCloud trousseau, on a chosen pop-up confirmation reset
In the new window pop up use iPhone password like iCloud cryptogram? has chosen the use code
Enter your secret code (4 digits) then choose country and your new phone number
Although, to "Restore the iCloud Keychain," I took to erase the data and essentially set up a new keychain. Not the case. Strangely, after essentially bypassing the security system, setting a new password and verification number, I see my cards, passwords and other data have been restored. Maybe it's all the iCloud account and this master password. Or maybe it's a bug. With Apple, we'll never know.

If you do not enable iCloud Drive on your Mac, you can upload files to iCloud by car via the web interface at https://www.icloud.com
But you can access the files from the web interface and won't icloud drive as drive in the Finder. You cannot use the Finder to access the files. You need to download it to use.

Hi, Romulo,
This question should be validated in the Internet Explorer Forum. Note the drop-down menus.
http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/IE/Forum
What sites you encounter the problem with?
Make sure flash player is the current version
http://www.Adobe.com/software/Flash/about/
Check Shockwave player is the current version
http://www.Adobe.com/Shockwave/welcome/
Check the Java version
http://Java.com/en/download/installed.jsp
You check the internet connection
If you are experiencing network connectivity problems in Internet Explorer, the first thing to do is to make sure that all cables are connected. Then open Network Diagnostics by right-clicking the network icon in the notification area, and then click diagnose and repair (if you use Windows Vista) or solve problems (if you use Windows 7).
If the problem persists, see the following articles:

Do I have to buy a new license if my hard drive breaks down?
I recently bought an upgrade from vista to windows7. I have everything backed up before upgrading, but couldn't do it once the upgrade is complete. About 3 days after I installed upgrading of primary and secondary hard drives both failed... Obviously, portable hard drive do not last as long as computers desktop and 5 years is a long life of your laptop, or so I thought. in any case, I have two new 750 GB momentus xt hybrid SSD of HD and I'm ready to rock but no OS because the key does not work since is not attached to the HD crashed. Any ideas? Please help, I am already tired of using my laptop to marry; his old and say that it is the turtle, and not the rabbit would be cruel to the turtle.
Like you bought an 'upgrade' I presume that you have actually installed as such on your failed HARD drive now.
With a new drive HARD vacuum, you have no earlier version of the OS (Vista) for the drive of W7 upgrade to recognize.
This may be a workaround,
http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/31402-clean-install-upgrade-Windows-7-version.html
or if it does not work you can try this method of double installation Vista, which is a valid path to a clean install.
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/68767-clean-install-upgrade-Vista.html
If it will not always turn on then you are going to have to plead your case to MS via the telephone support option.
It is up to you to ensure that your license is valid and that you do not violate the EULA

THE HARD DISK GOES WRONG IN MY COMPUTER I HAVE A NEW HARD DRIVE AND PUT IT IN THE DRIVE BAY HARD #2 CAN TRANSFER ALL THE STUFF FROM THE OLD HARD DRIVE TO THE NEW IN MY COMPUTER. Thank you
If windows does not start, it will be more difficult to transfer files, windows still starts?
If windows starts again, install Easeus Todo backup Free edition and 'clone' the old hard drive to the new, once this is done put the new drive cloned in Bay 1, it should now boot windows on the new drive. No need to transfer files if it works.
