• Move photos to smaller hard drive

  I have my library of photos on an external hard drive. It takes about 140,84 GB of space on that hard drive. I want to move it to my 128GB SD micro card.

  I understand that the 140 GB is longer than 128 GB, so the default answer is "which does not work." However, I use iCloud Photos with "Optimize Mac Storage" checked in the preferences to iCloud photo library so I should be able to "optimize" my photo library to fit on a smaller hard drive.

  Also, I suppose it's possible because I have iCloud Photos on my iPhone of 128GB 6 and the photos are occupying only 33.2 GB.

  Any ideas?

  It is Possible to reduce the size of the library with optimized photos, of course - but it is designed to fit the available space and there is no function to do unless space is needed

  You can ask Apple - http://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html

  I guess that if you added large files on the disk and kept squeezing the library to force the successive optimizations, you might be able to achieve

  But there is no way to put a 140 GB library on a volume of 128 GB storage

  Another way that is currently supported is to use pictures to create a system library empty on the microSD card and let ICPL upload photos that are optimized on it then remove the micro SD card and the library system go back to your main library

• HP G71-340US recovery of the system using a new smaller hard drive (SSD)

  I replaced the hard drive on an HP G71-340US notebook with a Solid State Drive (240 GB).  The original drive (who did not) was a 320 GB drive.

  I tried to perform the Reovery of system using the recovery disks that I created when I bought the laptop.  However, the only option enabled when you are trying to restore is 'Factory Reset'.  When I choose this option, the recovery process may not continue his run as "... the hard drive of this computer is smaller than the original shipped hard disk.

  Is there a way I can go beyond that?  Any suggestions/help would be most appreciated!

  Thank you!

  HP System normal recoveries do not usually work on smaller hard disks. You may need to use a spinner legacy 320 GB hard drive and more capacity to perform the Factory image restore and then make a migration of data to the SSD. It is unfortunate that you chose to change for one SSD after the original spinner hard drive has failed.

  With SSDS, in particular the best method is to use a upgrade kit or data migration kit.

  A data migration kit consists of software cloning and a usb to SATA cable. The USB to SATA cable connect the SSD to the usb port of the laptop for the cloning process that is part of the migration of the data.

  The software provided by manufacturers such as Samsung and Corsair SSD are usually able to transfer all of the operating system and on a smaller hard disk partitions.

• It is possible add a smaller hard drive and load windows os on it so that the system boots from that?

  I have a new h9-1150 systems.

  Have a hard drive 2 TB as OS main drive seems like a loss, especially if it crashes. This would make a great backup disk, but Windows 7 is already installed on it. Is it possible to transfer Windows to a secondary drive?

  Hello

  There are few software around which allow you to clone your HDD in a new HARD drive. Normally, you have to work the numbers (whereby the software). I have clone from a HDD of 750 GB for one SSD 120 GB for my wife machine, 2 weeks back using a product called O & O Diskimage, I had to reduce the c: less than 120 GB first. Now, my wife machine runs on a 120 GB SSD and serve a second HDD of 750Go.

  I hope this helps.

• HP pavillion m7557c race ex hard drive problem

  recently crashed (sonething in the windows configuration) do the restore to factory records but drive hard only display 16 GB and it has a 300 GB inside assistance greatly apprreciated!

  If you download and make a GParted live disk and boot from it, you can delete both partitions and engage in change. Once you have made and created a single FAT32 partition, you can use the recovery discs to return your PC to its delivered State. You should have sufficient ability to use it. It was delivered in one day with a small hard drive.

  This is the reason why I proposed to install a larger hard drive.

  I guess that means that my hard drive is irreparable, but can someone confirm this. Also, I will be able to buy another hard drive and use the ERD that I did to reinstall Windows 7?
