  • 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.

    As I only have the version of the EP, here is some info on the organiser:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/how-to/use-elements-Organizer.html

    Independent of how this feature works, you want to have your photos in one place and have a backup (second copy) somewhere else. All hard drives will not be successful at some point - some more early, some late - never trust to have your files in any safety devices if they are on a single disc. Once you have your sorted, it would be useful that you will organize/name/tag new photos immediately if the task is relatively short and simple. I copy my photos on my internal hard drive for my camera, take a quick look with preview to see who needs some changes and then decide where to put them - either drop them immediately after naming them or bring in an editing application and then file them away.

  • 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.

  • Installed new HARD drive with the new installation of XP, old HDD ShowAs saw as the active partition, how to change this?

    I installed a new HARD drive with a new installation of Windows XP Edition family. I want to keep the old HDD and reformat the drive, but I can't because the second HDD is listed as active in the management of the computer. Why? It's not the drive that contains the operating system (Windows XP) that is initialized from.  I put the BIOS such that the new HARD drive is the boot drive. The old HDD has Windows XP on it, but isn't the startup disk. I just don't understand.
    If only the new HARD drive is installed, the computer management doesn't show that it or any other of its partitions are the active partition (C drive is listed as the system partition, of course).

    How can I get an active partition and no active partition when the new HARD drive is installed on a HARD drive that is not the boot drive, when I have two hard drives installed?

    In case it is necessary, the new HARD drive is a SATA and the old HARD drive is IDE with the cavaliers as a slave.

    The system partition is the Active partition. The system volume contains the system files needed to start Windows, Windows XP, these system files are:

    NTLDR
    Boot.ini
    NTDETECT.COM
    Ntbootdd.sys (present/used only with older SCSI controllers)

    Windows files are not necessarily on the system volume, they can reside on another volume, when on a different volume this volume holding Windows files is called the boot volume.

    When you install Windows on a computer, playing a mixture of IDE and SATA setup discs tends to favor with IDE drives on SATA drives and tends to use the IDE drive to house the system partition, (even if Windows is installed on a different drive).

    Running the command SYSTEM SET at a command prompt may shed some light on the problem...

  • Replacing the old hard drive to a new hard drive

    Hello!

    need help, I replaced my HARD drive with a new... How can I reinstall the existing operating system?

    What Type of format should, I used?

    Laptop model:

    HP Envy Sleekbook 4

    Windows 8 x 64

    The problem is that the BIOS key Code is Windows 8 and that you have installed Windows 8.1. The embedded key will not activate Windows 8.1. If you want to do this for free and use the key that came with the computer, you must install Windows 8, activate it (or it is activated) and then move to 8.1 by the store. Or just buy a key for 8.1 and use it to activate the installation you have.

  • Transfer my hard drive to a new computer.

    I bought a new computer, and I want to transfer my hard drive on my new computer, so I can't transfer files, 1 and 2 to expand my space even more. When I installed the hard drive from my old to my new computer and boot from the old hard drive it breaks down and a blue screen on me, the blue screen does not last long enough for me to get this information. Can someone help me get my harddrive is over?

    I don't see any info regarding what computer or OS.  Installs Windows will do exactly as explained when moved to another computer dissimilar.  Need information on the old hard drive, start the operating system that came on the computer and then try to watch the news on the old hard drive.  Do not expect to be able to run all the programs that are installed on the hard drive of old.

  • Add hard drive to 5 k iMac

    So I just recently in the last month to buy a new iMac 5 k 1 TB model fusion mac and everything is good, but I should of went with the model 2 TB. My question is if I want to change the HD Apple box do or am I better go outside to the main drive and start with that?

    Apple will not change on the internal HD. If the computer is less than 14 days old and you bought Apple directly then you can return it for a reason any. Otherwise, you will need to get external hard drive to store your data on. If you decide to get a bootable SMT and to use it as your boot drive, then you should also get a Thunderbolt housing, otherwise the start-up will be slow.
