External hard drive renamed J k. How can I meet him at K?
I have used Windows 7 Pro for 6 months now. I also backup using Acronis. Everything was back up fine on drive K. However, last week I connected for the first time another external hard drive to use a few photos on this topic. I did not notice what drive letter it assigned. Last night when my backup was planned, he could not save because he back - up drive K, but it showed as reader J.
I assumed it was something to do with me using this another external drive for the first time last week. So I unplugged the power cord on this new disc (earlier in the week that I have had removed safely by just unplugging the USB and then turn off the power strip that has external drives on this subject). I then stop, and turn it back on and turning on the external drive power strip, I was hoping that my external origin 'Back-up' would return to drive K, but there is drive J.
How do I make my external original identify as drive K so my backups can run?
And what I can do to prevent that happening, because I need to use the other hard drive periodically?
Thank you
Steve
You must remove this particular device to the drive letter before they can be assigned to another device,
If the device is a reader of card win 7 does not let you delete the drive letters unless there is inserted media.
-No problems with removal XP / assignment of drive letters to media without inserted media players
If the device is a card reader internal, you will need to insert a card into the reader
Right-click on the block that has the info in there.
you will get the context menu
change drive letters and paths to remove unit K:
or if you don't have a compatible card to the reader
you will need to uninstall it from the Device Manager to free the drive letter
If it is an external USB card reader simply unplug to release K:
Edit: change the news to win 7 procedure

Renamed the external hard drive and now 5 Lightroom can't locate photos that were underway
My husband uses Lightroom 5. All of his pictures are saved and imported from an external hard drive. Today it has renamed the hard drive, and later, when he went to the room open light, it does not find who he had worked on the picture. Photos and those that it has exported are still on the hard drive, but he was still editing are not displayed. Any ideas?
Because Lightroom uses the hard real path for images, change the name of HD has broken this link. The best way to restore the link is to go in the library, make a right click (control click on Mac) the folders on the left side and select the location of the update folder. If the images are in a closed file as the top-level folder (recommended) digital capture needs updating. If there is a lot of files, then you will need to update each record separately...

I tried to shrink a partition on an external HARD drive. About thirty minutes later I went back and found diskmgmt.msc with circle icon showing that he was always busy. I shut down the PC, rebooted and it seems that no changes have been made on the external drive, but I wonder how I could better check?
My little finger tells me to format the drive and start all over with him, but that will involve a lot of resources.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you!

I trust is no longer system files on this drive. I delete all existing partitions, and then create new ones and format.

I used the MS File Transfer Wizard to back up my c drive on a second hard drive on the same computer, then reformatted and re-installed XP on drive c. The wizard of file saved files in files of 2 GB (compressed) 8 on the second drive hard. How to decompress the files on the c drive? Everything I've seen is to retrieve and transfer a second computer.

I had an old computer get taken out by a storm. I managed to save to computer hard drives and installed them in a new computer. I can see my programs MS Word, PowerPoint, etc. and Visual Studio 2012. The problem I have is to find the executables for these programs so that I can actually use them. Is there a work around or do I still have to pay for them? VS is a pro version and more than 2K last I checked! Am I missing just the files in a folder, that I don't see? I seem to be able to find the files exc for other programs. (Rosetta Stone)
Really, I don't want to buy these programs and will probably go to another (more accessible) suite of software, if necessary. I can write the code in other IDEs and use another desktop software which ensures the compatibility of the MS products if that's the case.Thank you for your time and understanding,HHYou cannot run programs from the old hard disk, they must be reinstalled on the new installation of Windows computers.
Apart from the home folder for Office who would be in the Program Files folder, directory on the original drive Setup performs a number of other things. It will make hundreds of changes to the registry, install many libraries and sign them and put some files in the Windows directory itself.
Also, if the version of Office that was on the old computer came with the PC, it's more likely to be an OEM license. As such, it cannot be installed or run on the new computer as a limitation of the original end user license agreement.

I have synced my firefox bookmarks so that I could the reupload if ever my computer wiped, so I don't have a second device with the touch of synchronization on this subject. I made the mistake of recording only the sync on the computer key. I just got my computer back to the shop and they erased my operating system without asking. Now, I don't have my sync key and the only way to access my account synchronization requires that I have change the timing key and delete all data saved on the server. How can I access my data?
Sorry, without your key to synchronize your data worth anything, it is impossible to - encrypted, and create a new synchronization key he will wipe away from the sync server.
BTW, the Firefox sync service is not intended for "backups", it is supposed to synchronize your Firefox data between different "devices." Any chance you have more than one device with this sync account configuration? If so, you can use the sync this device key.

Windows 8 was downloaded beforehand as a test pplace for Windows XP and then paid for. From there, I managed to create a Setup disk. Now, five months later, my motherboard failed taking with it my CPU and RAM, but leaving intact system disk.
Microsoft phone support, told me that the disk image is crucial and so that I can transfer it to another computer and use windows from this disk again. Is it that simple?
I have always understood, certainly with XP that activation has been defined by the hardware, especially the motherboard and processor.
Hello
Change the motherboard invites you to reactivate windows, you can refer to the activation of the phone, it would help you to reactivate windows.

I thought I was doing the right thing, but now it is clear that I was not properly clean even if I was very gentle. Why the screen lights up or really light up at all. Completely black and the keyboard does not light either. Someone has an idea? Thank you
Unfortunately, vacuums are very statically charge and their use within electronic devices is usually not a good idea. It is very possible that the discharges of static electricity has damaged your iMac.
I hope that you unplugged the iMac before cleaning. Make sure that the iMac is reconnected.
