How can I transfer files from a hard drive on a second hard drive on the same computer

My 150 G hard drive is full - I installed a second drive hard 150 G and need to download my original hard drive

My 150 G hard drive is full - I installed a second drive hard 150 G and need to download my original hard drive

First of all, note that "Download" isn't really an appropriate word.

Moving files from one disk to the other does not differ from moving from one folder to another folder on the same drive. There are several ways to do so. The two most common are:

1. copy / paste

2. open the source and destination in two instances of Windows Explorer (or my computer) and drag and drop from one to the other.

  • How can I transfer files from my old pc sony Vista for my laptop new HP 17-j003

    How can I transfer files from my old sony pc running vista for my laptop new HP 17-j003 Windows 8

    Welcome to the HP, Roodie forum.

    There is an easy way to do it using Microsoft Windows Easy Transfer :

    Transfer files and settings from another PC

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If you do not want to transfer files using the easy transfer method, you can manually make the copy.

    1. You can connect the systems on the same network,
    2. Define the folders that contain your data transfer to 'Share' on the network
    3. Map the drive on your new Vista computer system network
    4. Copy the data you want to transfer

    On the Vista Machine:

    • Open a Windows Explorer window,
    • Right click on the folder that contains the data you want to 'share' (transfer)
    • Click Properties > share > share and follow the instructions to allow the folder to be shared on the network

    On the Machine Windows 8:

    • Windows key (opens the start screen) > anywhere type 'computer' >
    • Click on "computer" to open the "Computer" File Explorer window >
    • Click map network drive and follow the instructions to map the drive

    Don't forget: If your account name is different on the Vista computer, you will need to click on "Sign in using different credentials" and then enter the name of the account on the Vista computer AND the password for this account.

    You can do this with the upper or lower level folders folder level - as long as the folder is shared, you should have general access to the data it contains.

    There are cases where you will not end up being "owner" of the data transferred - you will have to perhaps enter and adjust the property for files / folders after they are copied to the computer of Windows 8.

  • How can I transfer files from Tablet PC?

    I just bought an Iconia A1 180 tablet.  I would like to know how to transfer files from my PC to the tablet.

    I know not how to connect and use Bluetooth or a cable with a USB key.  What I'm asking is, how you say thePC to send files to a particular folder on the tablet.

    I have read the manual that tells how to connect via cable or the Bluetooth, but exactly how to send a file.

    I tried to send files, but whenever they do not.  If they did I don't know where they were going.  I'm in a bit of a tizzy, so if you can help it would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Do a quick Google search for 'android File Manager windows network sharing' or something similar. I think you will find it easier to share files on your network, and when you do so to share Windows files with the Tablet instead of sharing files with Windows Android.

    Basically, set you up folders on your Windows machines like file shares, and then access these actions from the side Android with a file manager application...

  • How can I transfer images from external hard drive with the gateway settings to new computer?

    I used to use Adobe Bridge on a computer that no longer works. My computer tech then made the hard drive of this computer on an external hard drive. Now I want to transfer all those images with all the settings, I applied them to my new computer. My new computer is a PC with Windows 7 and I run Adobe Creative Cloud on it.

    Thanks for your reply. Where the xmp file?

    It depends on your preferences settings. By default, Bridge is set to store metadata in an XMP file. This is the file that has the same name as the original, but it only use the extension ".xmp" instead of Raw file extension.

    Bridge stores this file in the same folder as the original. If you use Bridge to move the files to another location it selects automatically the xmp files to travel with her.

    If you use the view menu / show hidden files, you will see what Curt meant by XMP are hidden files, all have a document icon.

    If you converted to DNG RAW format this data is written to the file itself, as is the case with other types of files such as jpeg and tiff, that can be managed by the cab.

    You should be able to copy the whole folder to your new system or bridge to the old disk, select the file in the content panel and the use of the Control Panel folder to navigate to the new location and use drag and drop
