How can I move my files and the operating system on a new hard disk on Inspiron 580 s.

My hard drive failed Diagnostics recently and needs to be replaced.  I have since installed a new hard drive in Bay 2. I need to move everything from the old drive to the new drive and delete the old which is completed. So what is the best way to go about this?

The simplest method, I prefer to install a replacement hard drive, is to clone the existing hard drive to the new, that will also transfer all applications and programs.

You need an imaging utility, similar to True Image Home 2015.

http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage

Acronis resize partitions transferred to match the size of the new hard drive.

Hard drive manufacturers, also have their own free cloning software available, but it can be used only with their hard drives.

First, install the new drive as the secondary and the image of the main hard drive in it.

Immediately after the cloning, shut down the system, switch the data cable [SATA port 0] to the new disk, making the new master hard drive and see if the system boots properly.

Start the system with only the new hard drive connected.

Be sure to leave the original drive disconnected, until the new hard drive is working to your satisfaction.

Before cloning a hard drive, make sure that the existing drive has no corruption or virus on it, because they will be transferred to the new hard drive.

It will take a second SATA data cable, there should be a spare connector to SATA power inside the housing.

  • How can I transfer a file from the operating system to a backup of the production running VM virtual machine?

    Problem:  After I do a backup one using ghettoVCB on a local VMFS volume, I have a virtual machine that I can start something happened to that running.  However, sometimes I just need a file from the OS level, which means that I would need to start to get them, but then I have an IP address conflict.  I can't imagine a way to have the NICs turned off and still be able to move the file.  If I change the IP addresses, the software that I need to create the file that I need to transfer no longer works because, although there no need of constant connectivity to the seller, it is locked to the public IP address.http://communities.vmware.com/images/emoticons/sad.gif

    Material:  I have two 4 ESXi hosts to work, each with local VMFS volumes.  They share a private vlan common and a vlan common public.  They each ssh, ftp, wput, wget, and rsync available.  I have a Windows 2003 Server VM which also hosts a NFS and the VI client and other VMWare tools.  It also has private and public interfaces as do virtual machines that would be to make and receive the OS files.

    Thank you!

    Yes Mr President, make sure you set the network on this virtual machine to be connected to the 'Internal' vswitch, you set up before turning the power on to the virtual machine.

  • How can I reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive?

    I strongly suspect failure of hard drive on my old computer XPS 420. Data recovery isn't a problem. However, because the way I too lazy to buy a whole new operating system, is possible that I can transfer the installation of Windows Vista on a new hard drive? I told me that Dell will send me an installation disc to do, but how to make a record like this, and is there another way?

    I'm thinking of ghosting the HDD on another and the use of the recovery for nuke partition in a new facility, but it would even work?

    Thank you

    What is obtaining a disc from the Dell operating system Vista OEM [If Dell still copies of this available media], but you can be out of luck unless you have a warranty from Dell, but it's worth a try to see what is happening.

    If you reside in the United States, or the Canada and are the registered owner of the computer, with an active warranty, a disk that contains the operating system specific to your system factory installed can be requested HERE.

    Note: Dell may impose a charge for the disc.

    If you do not live in the United States, contact the Support from Dell, which is located in your country.

  • How do we install the operating system on a new hard drive?

    Hello

    I thought all I had to do was use my recovery disc supplied with my notebook, but while the laptop was working fine for a few days there is now an error message when I try to load windows, something along the lines of "image error, check the Setup disk.

    I did something wrong?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    Installation on the new HARD drive is very easy. All you need is Toshiba Recovery disk and you must boot from that disk to begin the installation. Everything is done automatically and factory settings are restored to the new HARD disk.

  • How can you have Windows XP and Vista operating system on the same computer?

    I am new to the community.

    I just ordered a XPS420.  The guy who took my order said he had heard of having two operating systems (XP and Vista) on a single computer and be able to choose the one that you want to use the start.  Someone at - he heard of this being done or done. I have a legal version of Windows XP home edition disk.

    I ask this because the computer that my children no longer have work and they have a lot of older games for XP, they still love to play. My only alternative is to use XP only if I can reformat the system.

  • Installation of the operating system on a blank hard disk on ibm thinkpad

    I have an ibm thinkpad r50p without hard drive. I can buy a blank hard drive for this machine. This machine has a maximum 2 gig of ram installed. W7 will work properly on this computer or do I have to install xp (original os = xp professional) House?

    It is not so if the R50 would satisfy the minimum requirements for Win 7 for processor capacity, amount of memory sharp and others, but if there are Windows 7 drivers for the hardware incorporated into the machine.

    I suspect that there are NO Windows 7 drivers for most hardware.

    Look at the label on the bottom of the laptop and find the model/type number.  It will be a 4 digit number with a 3 character alphanumeric suffix.  Go tohttp://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/homeLenovo.do and enter the model type / in the box that says "Fast track" under ", choose your system" on the top right of the page.  Click on the button GO and check fade available drivers are valid for Windows 7.

    How can I move a file to another AI work/text in Illustrator 4.1?  Using the art of export, import or the art of the place don't give me image.  What transfers is a rectangular box with a big X in it.  Illustration of the song gives me only a distorted picture.

    If it really is version 4, it is 25 years old. I'm surprised you have install much less run. Then copy and paste does not work? These files generated in V4 or newer files? The really only files up to V8 may be opening in V4. After that, the format of file completely changed.

    The iPad does not support USB keys. There are some wireless flash drives that can be used, but not the classical records. I suggest you transfer files to a computer and their synchronization then back to the iPad via iTunes.

    She needs to have your Apple ID and password. Your iCloud ID and the password if you have your own iOS device, so it can have access to these facilities. Even if she wanted to sell, it would need this information to remove the lock of activation before the sale.

  • I would like to have at least 1 of my toolbars that are displayed at the bottom of my browser open screen. How can I move a toolbar from the top to the bottom of the page?

    I would like to have at least one of my toolbars that are displayed at the BOTTOM of my browser open screen. How can I move a toolbar from the top to the bottom of the page? I don't want to do this by using an extension, and when I read about the extension, I really have not seen how it would move the toolbar to the top-down any browser page open.
    Thanks in advance for the supply, the answer and the procedure to get this accomplished.

    You can't drag an entire toolbar to the bottom of the window. The Bar of the Addon is a "toolbar", drag whatever you want from the Palette to customize or a toolbar up to the bar of the Addon.
