Help old hard drive install in 630 new
Help...
I just received and set up my new computer, and I'm already at an impasse. I took the old HDD on the old computer (6 month old dell dimension) and installed in SATA 3 port in the new computer. When I turned on the computer, he finds the old HDD and begun the process of configuration, once done he told me to goto disk management to complete the process after reboot. Now when I go to the direction of dick, it shows the drive as unallocated with gray lines through it. What I understand from my very limited knowledge, I need to initialize the disk for the logical disk manager to view the player. My question is will I lose all the data on the disk if I click OK to initialize the disk. I do not plan on Sourdough that hard drive in the computer I thought it would be easy and painless transfer of data, that I wanted to transfer to new readers. Laughing out loud... I should stick to the things I understand a little better.
Equipped with Window Vista
XPS 630 Intel Core 2 Q6600
Hard drives of 500 GB Dual SATA Raid 0
Thanks in advance for any help

I had a hard disk going bad. Installed a new hard drive and the need to transfer files from the old hard drive. I have an external enclosure for the old hard drive and can connect by usb port.
The process is fairly simple once you put the old drive in the external box. You can use the usual methods of copy and paste in Windows Explorer. If you copy files, complete folders, you can take a look at RichCopy.

Old hard drive files to the new laptop, problem of promise.
How to move files from my old hard drive to my new computer?
My old HP laptop dv1010 (Windows XP) has stopped working. The reason why it has stopped working is likely a defective power supply.
I remove the hard drive from the dv1010 and linked to my new HP laptop dv7 - 6143cl with a Unitek Y-1031 USB2.0 to IDE.
I have no problem, see the file with Windows 7 using the 'computer' link in the start menu. But I can't open one because of the permissions windows opens.

My old laptop HP dv1010 had a connection with a password when I start it.
Yet once how can I move files from my old hard drive to my new computer?
Hello
It is a utility that will add "Take Ownership" to the contextual right click menu. The download is on the following link.
It is a zipped file. If you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip , which can be used to open it so that you can run the Setup program. Then just right click the folder zipped, select 7 - Zip and extract the files. When you're done, open the newly extracted folder and you can find the utility to add "Take Ownership" to the right click menu. Double-click it to install it and then close the window. You should now be able to right click on the files you need to access and select Take Ownership.
Kind regards

My old computer died and I want to save filed from my old hard drive to my new computer
Hello
My old computer died, and I purcassed a new p6230y of computer a HP. I installed my old hard drive in to the new computer as a second HD in hard drive Bay 2. I would like to transfer my files from the old HD to the new HD. I would then format the old HD and use it internally as a second HD. After the installation of the drive hard I can't find the old man (HD) on my computer. I see that the old HD has been installed successfully by running a diagnostic of the car. All this out OK. I can't access the old HD in some way other than the quotes, and when I start the computer I can see that a second HD is installed. What I am doing wrong? And what can I do to access the info on the old HD and use it as a second HD in my new computer? Am I missing some step in the implementation / install? Help.
Thank you so much. My knowledge of windows 7 is very limited. You helped save all my files on my computer. Thank you once again.

How can I find my favorites on an old hard drive?
I bought a new computer and installed Firefox. Firefox has also been installed on my old computer, and I have the old hard drive connected to my new computer as drive E. I would get my favorites copied from the old drive to my current profile on my new C drive, but I can't locate the old favorites. On the old computer, I think that I was using Vista, but I don't know which version of Firefox. Here's research that I tried (should be view hidden folders):
JSON (a lot of results have been found, but for other programs only).
places.SQLite (no result)
bookmarkbackups (no result)
mrv9503t.default (no results. It is apparently the name of the file in question on my NEW computer).
.default (338 results?)
%AppData%\Mozilla (no result)
%AppData%\microsoft\windows\sendto (12 results, all related to Windows)
E:\Users\ < user > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ < profile > (no result)
E:\Users\ < user > (no result)
E:\Users (3 results, but none are named 'user')I thought about it. I didn't not < user > and < profile > refers to the names on my computer. Once occurred to me, I managed to restore from a backup by following the instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them

Pavilion a6500f: can I use my old hard drive as a second drive to the new I install.
I have a Pavilion a6500f I can access is no longer as he continues to tell me there are registry errors. My recovery disk (I got a) or do a hard reset or else he will start. It came with a window that says recovery system or start Windows normally. I get a new hard drive to it and have a whole new Windows 7 installed. The thing is that I don't want to lose all my stuff on the old hard drive. So my question is can I install the OLD hard drive as a second drive to the new? If I can then I can just copy all the files from the old drive to the new and use the old as a memory drive.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
The simple answer is Yes.
(1) I would like to replace the hard drive with the same drive size or larger. But does not exceed 2 T.
(2) I hope you made the original recovery DVD set the original recovery firstly, DVD media DVD + R try as these will save you having to create a driver disk. If you really have to buy a complete set of recovery, get it here. It will have all the necessary drivers. Only $27.00
(3) I copy the files and destroy the old disk. Its usefulness is damaged since 2008.

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.
Do yourself a favor, with the old drive connected externally, in the browser, simply copy the data files to the location of Documents of the PC win7. You can not copy programs, they need to be reinstalled from media origonal. You can copy all the downloaded files instalation
You may need to take possession of your old documents folders - see win help to find out how

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.

· 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_bYou 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.

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.

Problems copying bookmarks from old Hard Drive to new hard drive
The motherboard on my old Windows Vista 64 - bit is dead. The hard drive is still accessible. I bought a new PC with Windows 7 and installed Firefox. I find the.default file for Firefox on the old drive hard and copied and pasted in my new profile on my new hard drive. The old hard drive is connected to my new PC with an external hard drive enclosure. I tried looking for in my old profile user Firefox hard disk of old. I do this by clicking on my old username, go to Program Files (x 86) and only one program file that I found for DNA. Firefox has been installed on my old PC, so I'm surprised that I can't find what it listed under Program Files (x 86) on this drive. If I search the old drive for 'signet', it evokes my bookmarksbackup and other files of bookmarks '.json '. I tired bookmarksbackup copy for my new Firefox profile on the new hard drive and it seems to work, but the old bookmarks do not appear when I open Firefox. I looked at the links troubleshooting for the same problem that others have posted, but they seem irrelevant, because I can't find the sqlite or the directory where my old Firefox settings are stored on my old hard drive. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Firefox settings are not stored in program files, but they are stored under APPDATA.
If you take the newer JSON file you have, open Firefox, press Control, Shift and B at the same time, then go to "Import and backup" then 'restore', then choose file, you can import it like this?
