has got the biggest hard drive, can I transfer old install to the new drive?
C: space too small
My Windows XP Professional is installed on a 10 GB hard drive, there is little room left. I added an external drive more and would like to move the system to the largest disk. I don't have a installation disc. Can I transfer the system and applications to the new drive without losing any functionality and maybe use the old drive (C :) to store data.
Its not so easy. It is best to get rid of some of the files on the old drive and move the data files to the new drive. Try to go first to start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Cleanup. Then you can move locations of various data, such as temporary Internet files (in Internet Explorer go to tools |) Internet Options | Settings and click the folder to move and which will move this place). If you use OE, first back up your messages (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6) and then put in place a new directory on the new drive to something like D:\OESTORE and then go to tools | Options | Advanced | Maintenance | Store the folder and click the button change and set it as the new location. Then close and reopen OE (DO NOT MOVE MESSAGES yourself! as he will destroy them) and the location must be moved.
For other space saver, try to do a backup on the new disk directory and copy all update backups that were made (the Blues subdirectories in the Windows directory) and the Windows\inf directory that you can completely roll over to the new drive for backup purposes and you may need to browse to it, if you install a new device , but which will save a lot of space. (the above two suggestions require that you go to control panel |) Folder options | View and activate display files and hidden folders, enable showing protected and OS files and disable the option Hide extensions of known file types). Move also on other data such as images, documents, music to the new drive.
So if you have lots of space on C, defrag it.
But just copy through the old drive to the new and try to start on the new one is unlikely to work.

My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.
Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.
The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.
Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...
You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?
By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?
Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

Would appreciate help from the members of the Forum.
The drive on my Acer Z5610 is overheating and stop unexpectedly. I bought a new 1 TB WD HARD drive. I tried loading the Acer recovery CD 3 I initially created in order to load all applications touch etc, but received a message to say that I got at loading Windows. The computer came pre loaded with Windows 7 Home Premium, so I did not all Windows disks. My question is: How can I transfer Windows 7 on my new HARD drive so I can begin to rebuild the PC?
Hello
I think that you have created the driver & application backup, if this is the case & * if the old HDD is still detected & boots you could create a factroy restore discs, if not then you might even get to store.acer.com.

Got the new update, can't find a way to highlight the text...
Got the new update and it works very well
Instructions say to copy text email or web a "yellow Highlight" is displayed. What is this reference to? This isn't even proper English...
In the menu, I can choose SELECT ALL, but what happens if I want to only strongly certain parts of a Web page or an e-mail?
What is this "yellow Highlight" referring?
Hold the shift and type the text on the screen. Type several guard zones selecting and they will turn yellow. To then copy the area hold a finger on the gesture area up until the button lights, and press C on the keyboard, this copy. To stick the finger of the hold on the area of the actions to the button lights up and press V.

All applications are probably install and not finished yet. Make sure you are connected to a wireless network and let it enabled applications can continue to have downloaded and installed.

My C drive is 142 GB but Windows almost 100 GB of it. Most of the program names are meaningless for me so I don't know where to start. Can anyone advise me on the things I can get rid of safely?
Hello
I'm sorry, but we cannot tell you what to uninstall as we have no idea what you have installed on your hard drive.
You can use Disk Cleanup to make space.

I'm next to me, I hope that there is a way to get back them.
I was told my someone from tech apple to my iPhotos on an external hard disk to make more space on my MacBook Air, which seemed to work fine. We also have this same external hard drive my Time Machine.
I noticed a small box from time to time come and say something like, Time Machine is running out of space to record new data, you want to delete things until March 2013 etc. He asked me a few times and I said yes, all the way until June 2014. Now just disappeared in my iPhotos to find some pictures of my daughter when she was a baby (in 2012) and there is nothing there before 2014. I'm completely panic, is there something I can do?
Thank you, Kate
PS
This is the first time I've posted here, this is the right place to ask this question?
Can specify you:
You have time machine back ups and an iPhoto library on the same application - no time machine back ups of the library?

IMicrosoft 'Repair disc' has 'uninitialized' my external hard drive
will have a problem of audio distortion and hit 'Repair disc' for my external hard drive, thinking it could be the culprit. The program at a standstill. When I rebooted, my external hard drive would not appear on my computer. In disk management, it has marked as "not initialized". It is full of critical data. What should I do? I am running Windows XP Service Pack 3 32-bit. My external hard drive is a Maxtor One Touch II (now Seagate). Thank you!
Hi TimYX,
This problem may be caused by the hardware failure or a bad hard drive configuration. You can try initializing the hard drive and everything should be good. If the problem comes from the configuration or failure, you will lose data and will need a 3rd party program data recovery.
