• With the help of a backup on an external hard drive to transfer files to a new computer.

  I recently got a new computer and I need to transfer my files via my new computer. Both computers running Windows 7. I have an external hard drive that has all my files from my old computer on it. I went into the control panel configuration, then system and security, and then in the backup and restore. I then clicked on "select another backup to restore files from" and looked for my external drive. I made sure that it was connected and up-to-date as well. However, he never showed up.

  I would like to manually just transfer the files, but it seems as if there are readers split on this computer for 'BONES' and 'DATA '. For this reason, I'm not sure which car I'd put even files on.

  How can I transfer these files?

  Hello

  I understand that you are having problems with the restoration of the backup files of the external hard drive. Correct me if I misunderstood the question.

  (1) what is the version of Windows 7 is installed on your computer?

  (2) have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

  (3) you receive an error message when you try to restore?

  I suggest you to consult and follow the steps in the links and check if the problem persists.

• Where and how can I reinstall the external hard drive to the new HD to the computer?

  Original title: HD crashed.

  I want to thank the person who answered my question about the HD crashed I saved all my data and window xp. My next question is, how and where can I reinstall external hard drive for the new HD to the computer? Should I send it to drive c or where? I'm not strong when it comes to computers. I know just enough to get me in trouble. Thank you.

  Hello!

  You will need to use a full copy of Windows XP.  Should be a sticker with the product key on the side of your desk or below if it is a laptop.

  Once you have this drive, you can reinstall Windows XP.  After you have installed all the software and drivers, you will be able to transfer all your data to the new HARD drive.

  If you don't have a copy of Windows XP, you can probably get a copy of the recovery from the manufacturing of computer media.  Just to provide the model and serial number and they should sent it.

• Mini Mac server - attachment of external hard drives file transfer speed

  Hi guys!

  I wanted to increase the speed and storage capacity to transfer to my Mac mini file, so I bought a box of external hard drives. The one I bought is: http://www.icydock.com/goods.php?id=219

  Built-in the Mac mini hard drives transfer the file to 60 MB/s (writing and reading) and I wanted to get better speed of file transfer, so I bought an SSD that is going to be inside with an another HARD drive of 3 TB for archiving my files. The housing is connected by USB3.0 (5 Gb/s) for the Mac mini.

  [SSD-> files I opened every day] - speed around 550 MB/s write and 500 MB/sec in reading

  [HDD-> Archives, files that I have does not open very often] - speed around 150 MB/s write and 150 MB/sec in reading

  So I did some benchmarks on my new Setup, and the speed is not really what I expected. Transfer of file max speed I have achieved is about 100 MB/sec in writing on the external SSD plugged into the mac mini. This transfer has been filed since an iMac 21 "2011 with an SSD (with almost the same speed read/write than the box) so it's quite disappointing.

  It is possible that the Mac has a 'file transfer speed limit' is somewhere? Or whatever else that could affect that?

  More information on my setup:

  Mac Mini server 2012 - 2 TB RAID 1 - Mac OSX 10.9.5

  iMac 21 "2011 - Crucial SSD 275 Gb - Mac OSX 10.9.4

  IcyDock external enclosure - 4 bays, USB3 5 Gb/s

  -Red WD HDD 3To

  -Crucial SSD 1 TB

  Together internal Gigabit Ethernet network

• Is there a way to make my photo app on my external hard drive "photo of system library"?

  I want to be able to keep my library of photos on my external hard drive, as I have with iPhoto.  I want to save space on my Mac

  No problem

  The drive must be in Mac OS extended (journaled) format, connected by a fast wired connection, do not be used as a Time Machine backup and volume still available before launch - quit Photos during Photos and make slide library of Photos for the EHD and double-click it to launch Photos - complete library test and then delete one on the internal disk (test one more time before emptying the trash)

• External hard drives - file transfer

  I have two external hard drives and I want to move the files from one to the other.   I want to create a new folder on the drive more so I can copy the files in this folder.  I have to be able to create this folder...  How to do this, then once done, how to copy files...

  -What is the format of the disks? PC players are usually formatted with NTFS that a Mac CAN read natively, but CAN NOT write to. Thus, yu cannot copy any files or folder natively on disks formatted in NTFS.

  -You can write to disk formatted in NTFS with an application like:

  Tuxera NTFS for Mac

  Paragon NTFS for Mac® 14

  -If you can write on a disc yo can just go to the Finder and select the drive and right click and select new folder. You can select the files to copy to copy and then right-click and select copy, then go to where you want and right click and select Paste.

  You can also select the and drag them to the desired location.

  Several months ago, I bought a Toshiba external hard drive and used to back up my laptop.  I have not used since then, but needed to recover a lost file today.  Unfortunately, when I plug the external hard drive, it will not be displayed in my computer.  When I connect, I get the sound that makes Windows when connect you something.  The hard drive turns on and I can feel it running.  But it does not appear in my computer.  If I go into the Device Manager and look under ' hard drives it appears as "USB device external Toshiba 3.0."  When it is offline, it does not appear in the list of disk drives in Device Manager.

  Advice how I can get to appear in 'My Computer' so I can actually access the files?  Thank you!

• Editing photos on an external hard drive using two different computers - a laptop computer and a desktop computer

  Hi, I have all my photos on an external drive. I want to change my photos on my desktop at home and then to be able to work on my laptop when on mobile. My catalog is stored on my external hard drive. But the changes that I did for the photos on my laptop do not seem to have been recorded on my external hard drive when I watched tonight on lightroom on my desk.

  The file that I watched tonight is a native import of original photography don't not presenting the any fixtures that I made earlier today.

  Any suggestions on where I'm wrong.

  Hi juliew,

  The adjustments you make in Lightroom are stored in the catalog itself. It makes no changes directly with the original files.

  For example, you won't find any changes on the original images.

  If you are not able to see editing in Lightroom itself, please make sure that you opened the same catalog from the external hard drive on both computers.

  I hope this helps.

• How can I transfer images from external hard drive with the gateway settings to new computer?

  I used to use Adobe Bridge on a computer that no longer works. My computer tech then made the hard drive of this computer on an external hard drive. Now I want to transfer all those images with all the settings, I applied them to my new computer. My new computer is a PC with Windows 7 and I run Adobe Creative Cloud on it.

  Thanks for your reply. Where the xmp file?

  It depends on your preferences settings. By default, Bridge is set to store metadata in an XMP file. This is the file that has the same name as the original, but it only use the extension ".xmp" instead of Raw file extension.

  Bridge stores this file in the same folder as the original. If you use Bridge to move the files to another location it selects automatically the xmp files to travel with her.

  If you use the view menu / show hidden files, you will see what Curt meant by XMP are hidden files, all have a document icon.

  If you converted to DNG RAW format this data is written to the file itself, as is the case with other types of files such as jpeg and tiff, that can be managed by the cab.

  You should be able to copy the whole folder to your new system or bridge to the old disk, select the file in the content panel and the use of the Control Panel folder to navigate to the new location and use drag and drop
