Disk restore

My external hard drive that kept my photos and RAW files died.  Fortunately, I had it all (with the exception of 1 days worth), saved to another external drive.  I bought a replacement drive.  My question is... once the replacement drive happens I Windows give it the same name of player than the previous drive and copy all the files saved to it... If I have this and open Lightroom, how to make all the files appear as if they were already imported (which they were)?  I guess what I'm asking, it's what I have to do something special to trick Lightroom into thinking that the new drive is the old drive?

Howard

You need not do anything special in Lightroom if the new disc will be the same letter and the folder structure.

But even if the drive letter of the folder structure changes, you can always easily fix this in lightroom by right-clickin gle first folder in the folder pane and choose the location of the update folder.

  • M100 satellite disk restore will not work, keeps on rebooting the laptop

    Hello

    I have a M100 I need to restore to out of box state. XP is running too slow and after getting some internet pop ups of facebook, the laptop is having issues.

    Now, I tried to run the program of restoration of the drive and it happens with ramdisk boot, then the f6 press to install an aditional drivers, then wait.
    The mouse cursor appears on the screen and it can be moved around, then the laptop restarts just.

    I tried this several times and with main power and with and without the battery while on the grid.

    I suspected it was a problem of hard disk or a boot sector virus, which prevents the program of restoration of the race. However, I tried a new hard drive and it still does the same thing.
    I changed the RAM and still does not. About a year or two ago I had to restore the laptop as the HARD drive died and I replaced it with another hard drive on a different Toshiba laptop and it worked fine.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I need this laptop for school

    Thank you

    Hello

    Sorry, but one thing in this story is strange. Why load additional driver?

    If you want to have out of the box to install OS, you must use the Toshiba CD/DVD facilities sent. Using this disk, you do not need to load anything, just start the recovery procedure, let it run and when you're done just restart your laptop. That all s that you do.

    So, if you have this original Toshiba drive please do as follow:
    Start your laptop and press F12 repeatedly
    When the boot menu appears recovery disc into the optical disc drive
    In the list, choose the CD/DVD device and press ENTER
    Follow the menu on the screen

  • Recovery disk restore partitions as factory settings?

    My laptop is about 2 to 3 years of age and has 3 partitions, C, D and E as factory put in place.
    I found that the system (C) partition is now almost full and cannot be extended because the D drive is in the way to rehabilitate the part of drive E.

    Does anyone know if the hot spare will restore the partitions in the form of factory settings or y at - it an option to change the score put in place during installation?

    Hey Buddy

    Yes. As far as I know the Toshiba Recovery disk format the whole HARD drive and retrieves the laptop back to factory settings.
    This means that the whole HARD disk would have first formatted and all partitions would be deleted. Then the recovery disk creates the partitions again and installs the operating system and other things like tools and drivers.

  • Need to 'clean up' my Pavillion DV6500, a keylogger, impossible to find the 3rd disk restore HP said I need?

    Hello

    I searched for this disc and cannot locate where to order. My laptop Pavilion DV 6500 has a keylogger on it. It was installed by a person using the master drive and it has integrated so no one can remove it. The best they can tell me he wipe the laptop and then it will be gone for sure.

    I don't mind it, but HP said that I need 3 disks to restore my laptop. I have 2 a couple years ago when the laptop computer had a problem and HP actually due to restore it to fix it.

    Aparrently, he is now a 3rd disc because there are more readers up-to-date, etc., but I can't seem to find where they are if I can order just the 3rd disc as the representative of HP to tell me to do the other day.

    Any ideas where I could find this? Bad enough I have to wipe a 7 year old device that may not start again, but now I can't find the software to restore the TI - lol.

    I appreciate any help/comment. Thank you

    OK that answers my question. I think that the HP rep did not understand what I was trying to explain when I said that I already had 2 of the 3 discs recovery. I guess there are a lot of new drivers that make up the disc 3 that weren't around when it was recovered by HP 3 or 4 years.
    Looks like I'll have to go without a computer for a while longer until I can buy all 3 disks.

    Thanks for your help, I appreciate it! Happy holidays.

  • For Vista Ultimate system with no disk restore

    I try to wipe my computer and back to the original without the disk system restore settings.  This computer was originally shipped with windows XP, but I installed Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.  I bought a new computer and have already transferred all my files, I just need to clean it now before I give it.

    Save all data, because it will be lost when reinstalling

    programs need to be reinstalled

    You cannot save installed programs

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of vista recovery disc

    they do it for a nominal cost

    and also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to factory standards

    pressing F10 or F11 at startup normally begins this process

  • Extremely slow performance after recovery disk restore.

    Machine: Dell portable computer. Router: Netgear. Cable modem: Ubee. OS: Windows 7 Professional Pro. Usage: homepage.  Background: download software WiFi of Mrs Webb Page. When I tried to reboot the system has been compromised and would only boot from the recovery disc after a complete restoration of the self made restore disc. Made several attempts to recover from internal disk using restore without success points.  These recovery discs were made in two years when the system was purchased and loaded. Problem: System is now extremely slow requiring min to access internet and min more than to get to yahoo mail and min more to call individual emails. Browse online or offline is painful causing a lot of pain. Assume total ignorance when you answer the question that follows: HELP?

    If the system is really slow on its own without worrying about all things Internet that I'd work on that to know first since you said "Browse online or offline is painful."

    Dell made a lot of laptops to do so that we can see what you have:

    Click on the button/ORB start in the lower left corner of your screen. Or, press the button of your keyboard Windows logo.

    In the type box:

    Msinfo32

    Select / click msinfo32.exe and the system information dialog box opens.

    Click System summary, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy (Ctrl-C) and then paste (Ctrl-V) the information back here in your next reply.

    For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) feedback here.

    For the Canadian Techtdo this:

    Expand components, storage, click on disks, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) the information back here.

    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.

    Sooner or later, it would be nice to have a list of your startup items so while you wait to do this:

    Download and install the free version of CCleaner here:

    http://www.Piriform.com/CCleaner

    CCleaner will want to install an additional startup item in your configuration (that you need not) on the first Setup screen remember to choose to customize the installation and make it look like this, then install CCLeaner:

    CCleaner allows you to manage most of the startup items and also do some other operations oriented cleaning.  Some people will you recommend is not to use the registry functions in CCleaner to avoid these features for now.  I have no problem with it for me, but sometimes it's a contentious issue, I prefer to avoid as much as possible!

    You can uninstall CCleaner later if you don't like it.

    Run CCleaner and choose Tools, boot and bottom right, click on the button "Save to text file" to save the startup information in a text file on your desktop with a name you remember - something like startup.txt

    Save the text file startup information to your desktop (or somewhere you can find it) open the text file with an editor (Notepad or WordPad) and select all (Ctrl-A), copy text, all the text selected in the Windows Clipboard (Ctrl + C) then paste (Ctrl + V) the contents of the startup list of back here in your next reply.

  • Satellite Pro M40, failure of the hard drive - the new disk restore disk?

    Hello

    My Satellite Pro M40 hard drive died and I want to install a new drive. Unfortunately, my old drive is 60Gig and the Web of Toshiba parts site has only 40 GB or 80 gig drives.

    I have problems with the recovery disk if the hard drive is not exactly the same thing?

    Your advice would be appreciated.

    C

    No, he should t be any problem with the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    On the recovery CD, you'll find a Windows OS, Toshiba drivers and utilities and software further.
    These entire applications are packed into image files.

    You should only be sure that the HARD drive is compatible with your laptop and it will be recognized in the BIOS.
    Then simply to boot from the recovery and installation CD must start.

  • Satellite Pro M30: Is it possible to restore the disk Win XP at least

    I recorded the M30 Pro of the Satellite with Win XP Professional 5 years on the Toshiba-Europe website.
    Is it possible to restore the disk Win XP at least?

    I'll ask Toshiba for assistance (already done) or there is a way to create the disks on mine?

    I'm sure someone went down this way (ar tried at least).

    PS: it is a time for the upgrade of the HARD drive.

    Thank you all.
    Wall

    Sorry, but I don't really know what you are meaning by the Win XP disk restore.

    The Toshiba laptop was delivered with the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    If you want to restore the OS from Windows XP that is installed on the HARD drive, then use this disk and reinstall the WinXP.
    To start the installation, you must boot from the recovery CD.

    If you want to create a clean image and then install Win XP with a CD of MS Windows, download the Toshiba driver and create the image using the tool like Norton Ghost third 3rd for example.

  • Restore the sparsebundle timemachine on virtualbox

    Hello!

    First of all, sorry for my bad English, I'm from the France... ;-)

    I'm on mac pro early 2009. I got another mac in the past. I've tried for a few days to convert this old mac timemachine sparsebundle vdi.

    This sparsebundle is password protect, but I remember :-)!

    The sparsebundle is located on my synology NAS (outside the record of timemachine used now)

    My old mac was a mini in Mavericks.

    Then I started the installation on VirtualBox with hope Mavericks my sparsebundle will be discovered by restore from time machine (at the beginning of the installation process).

    I first converted my dmg sparsebundle and attach this sata drive dmg but this sata drive is not found (by time machine or utility disks restore utility).

    Then, I convert this dmg/DVI: same result (no = no results!).

    I decided to finish the installation of the Mavericks, just to try and do not stay on a failure.

    In this way, when Mavericks was fully usable, I discovered that my vdi file has been unreadabled... (Mavericks offered to initialize it).

    My second try was a method I used on real mac successfully... but not here :-(

    In my VM fully operational Maverick, I created a new great drive hard virtual vdi. I mounted my sparsebundled and I copied files and folders located in the folder "Last" of the sparsebundled at the root of the virtual hard disk. I have shut down the virtual machine, put the new virtual hard disk as disk drive only sata hard and load the installer dmg Maverick perspective.

    I started the virtual machine (the disk hard not bootabled at the moment) and start the installation process on the hard disk of vdi. The actual computer, I have had success with this methob, but here, towards the end of the process of this fail with an error message ("please contact the software publisher").

    I'm lost now and I have no more ideas! Maybe I failed in my approach to the first method (why my vdi is not readabled?). I'd rather ask for help here before trying another action beacause my sparsebundle is 40 GB and all try to take some time.

    Thanks to people who can help me!
