Find bookmarks and passwords on the old hard drive

I watched an attempt all suggestions re. This and cannot locate my favorites and passwords on the old hard drive.
Hard drive is still connected to my computer, even if the PC had a mother brd, the CPU and the RAM upgrade: because of the upgrade failed to load window, if the Windows file is always available. New HARD drive with windows installed, install again. 11.0 ff. The following search suggestions, I find the new profile, but not that of the old drive. I can access my Mozilla folder in Program Files (x 86), but are now looking for appdata etc.
Yes, I know, it was really stupid to not save this kind of things before the installation of new equipment, but do not think that the material change was hose go my W7 install so bad. Thanks for any help in advance.

AppData is a hidden file, you need to enable hidden files and folders may be to find. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-see-hidden-files-in-windows/.

After finding the appdata folder, read https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles and recovery of data from an old profile.

  • moving documents and settings from the old hard drive to a hard drive nine folder

    I have a new computer. I installed a hard drive from my old computer to the new, which is not the one that starts more. But. There still my documents and settings directory. Because windows is so smart and "documents and settings is not a folder more", it won't let me access my old Vista documents and settings folder that is bloody well a real folder. I am so bored on this subject. Any ideas what to do?

  • I have blown my motherboard on an old computer and hooked up my old hard drive to the new computer and want to transfer my favorites on the new drive but cannot find where they are located on the old drive - any help?

    My motherboard went bad on my old computer, but the hard drive was OK. I bought a new computer and plugged my old hard drive to it via a usb adapter. I would like to import or copy my favorites from the old hard drive to my new, but I can't find where they are. I was unable to determine the search for articles on the web. Be advised that my old hard drive is basically nothing more than a place of storage for files at this point. My old operating system is windows XP, and my new system is Windows Home Premium.

  • Transfer of files from the old HARD DRIVE to new computer without an old computer. (He's dead - can not use) I have the hard drive, but need help to transfer my old files and settings.

    ·        My old Win XP computer died - it is completely unusable. I bought a new PC with Win 7 Pro and 1 TB. I still have the old HARD DRIVE (250 GB) which I have attached on the new computer using an external enclosure supports SATA drives. The external hard drive is connected to the computer in USB 3.0. I checked that the new computer can see the external hard drive. (I also used for backups by changing the hard drive with a 2 TB drive 'mass storage' - that works.)

    I searched the internet for possible solutions and found no help. If the transfer of files from Microsoft would change the disc to analyze, it would be simple. But if I select the OLD computer it scans the disk I'm on (new) - automatically.

    Is there anyone who has had the same problem? He must be because computers die all the time and people buy new computers - who then, somehow, they get the former transferred files. I could do it manually, but that wouldn't change the settings. Last resort would be to buy an old computer XP (SATA), replace the drive. Transfer the files, and then sell this computer.

    You may be able to recover your data files, but I hope that you will set up your new system to automatically backup a second internal hard drive or an external USB hard drive.

    This suggestion may not work, but it's worth a try. Buy an external USB drive enclosure. They come in two sizes 2.5 "for the portable computer drives and 3.5" for desktop disks. You can purchase adapters for 3.5 "envelopes so that they can also be used with a portable player. Place the hard drive in the enclosure and connect to a USB port of another computer. Several hard disks are more able to start, but the contents of the disc can still be accessed, read and copied from the disk because you do not use the operating system on a failed disk.

    Here is an example of the type of device, I suggest:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=external+hardrive+enclosure&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=14388537836&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=556960941559985931&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&ref=pd_sl_32uorbwbuk_b

    You need only to the speaker, that you see are not necessarily more expensive. Thereafter, you can put an old hard drive usable, an abandoned because you need a larger drive internal, in the enclosure and use it as additional external storage.

  • replace the old hard drive with nine in Pavilion dv2019tu

    Max Mamory is 2 GB. I'm sorry.

    AMD model series versions has been reported to have difficulties even with hard drives of 500 GB. There has never been a logical explanation. Since it is SATA it must accept any drive SATA 2.5 inch width 9.5 mm thick. However, the reports were many and not lightly ignored. I can not find plug on the dv2019tu so if it has an Intel processor, I would say that you're good to go with a 1 TB SATA drive, as long as it is not thicker than 9.5 mm. Also pay attention to the connecting piece plastic on the old hard drive. It is necessary to connect the SATA ports on the drive to the motherboard. You have to use it again.

  • Can I transfer files and settings from my old hard drive after replacing with a new one?

    the old hard drive developed a kind of problem and was still running out of space. I replaced and recharged my CD XP. the old hard drive is still readable via USB adapter system and I want to what I can from him toward the new restore disc. the old drive is not in a computer. can I use FAST to transfer the old disk directly? I can't find this scenario in all the help files.

    Thank you.

  • With the help of Windows Easy Transfer - need to transfer the old HARD drive to new computer - old HDD attached as external drive for the new usb port of the computer - help

    New computer installed Windows 7 and gave me an option to use Windows easy transfer to transfer files, data, programs, etc. from my old computer.  All I have from the old computer's hard drive; a lightning strike fried either food or his mother by car.  I have attached the hard as a disk to the new computer using the usb cable provided with the external hard drive case.  It is recognized as drive E: on the new computer.

    Trying to follow the instructions given by the Windows Easy Transfer software.  Get the software/folder from the old hard drive (drive E), but trying to run the software that I can't seem to do anything on the old disk.  When asked what is the former or the new computer - I respond to old, but no new file is created for the transfer.  When I answer again, a new file is created on the new computer (rather than the old HDD) and then he transferred again to new.  I can't create a file of whatever it is I want to transfer from the old HDD.

    I can't use an easy transfer cable because the old computer does not only the hard drive.  I can't connect to a network for the same reason.  I only have the hard that I can attach to the new computer.  But I can't get the new computer to process the old hard drive separately for transfer purposes.  The only other option I can think of is to attach the old HDD to another computer, and then try to run the software in this way, but I don't want just the stuff on the old hard drive a copy to the other computer.

    Can anyone help?  Suggest how to get the old hard drive files, data, transferred etc. to the new computer.  What are the steps?

    Thank you.

  • Old computer is dead, HARD drive still alive. Can I install windows 7 on your new computer without formatting the old HARD drive?

    My old desktop computer recently died of a motherboard failure.  As I understand it, I should be able to install windows 7 from my old computer to the new, but only if I delete the old installation.

    Does this mean that I have to format the old HARD drive?  Because the old computer HARD drive seems to be alive, I would retrieve the data on a new machine first, before I have to format and I need to install windows on the new computer to get the data from the old HARD drive.

    No, it is taken on trust that the old installation is no longer active, there is no mechanism to remove the old license in order to make a valid new. Remove the Windows directory (or rename) makes the old system inoperative.

    You find that the automatic authentication fails on new construction and need to call the licensing Center to check that you have only one installation. Apart from the OEM rules if a license has been activated too often, and recently, it fails in a 1 time.

  • How can I move the old hard drive to new programs.

    I tried to upgrade Windows 2000 Pro, XP Pro on my hard drive. XP would install, but would break to the BSOD with a STOP of the F4 code. BCupdate2 says that the startup code is up to date. NTDLR and boot.ini and NTDETECT.COM are present on the old hard drive. After 2 days of searching and trying different solutions, I bought a new hard drive and installed XP Pro top. System is now running. I want to make my programs from the old hard drive to the new hard disk as well as shortcuts, system settings, user accounts, and user data. I want the new HDD to resemble the old hard disk would look like had XP installed successfully. I have a utility provided with the hard drive, but it says it will take the BONES of the old drive and put it on the new drive that would make my non-operational system. Any help? The history of the old drive is 64 XP was installed originally, but some of my programs wouldn't not below so I installed Windows 2000 Pro. Which was great for several years, but the new versions of the software I use has stopped running less than 2000.

    I'm sorry, but it is not possible to move programs from one operating system to another.  You must reinstall the programs.

    Your data files must be in the Documents and Settings\ folder from the old hard drive and you can copy them to the folder on the Windows XP system.
