• How to remove the old hard drive files. Can not defragment

  Not enough space to defragment.

  I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

  Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter

  Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before that the error occurred initially, do not use this option.

  You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.

  The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous. I have them would be reduced by 700 MB. Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output. When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

  A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. Setting the default value is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change. At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

  The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough. In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

  If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive. In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc. These files can be compressed or not compressed. If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue. If these files are not compressed you can compress. Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space. On the general tab, you can see the winning amount by deducting the size on disk size. File compression is only an option on an NTFS formatted disk partition / partition.

• How can I wipe old hard drive from the laptop of computer death without jeopardizing the new laptop?

  I got a laptop HP who died - apparently the motherboard is bad.  I have to return the laptop to HP for replacement.  I bought equipment to connect the old hard drive to my new laptop via a USB cable and have recovered files that I need, but I want to erase the old drive hard until I got back.

  There seems to be a lot of variation in the hard drive, programs wiping, and I was wondering if someone could point me to one that could fit here.  I am concerned about the running software on my work to access the old hard drive and accidentally damage my portable hard drive to work laptop.  Who is?

  Thanks for the tips.

• 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.

  Hello

  It is a utility that will add "Take Ownership" to the contextual right click menu.  The download is on the following link.

  Appropriating

  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

• How to access the old iomega 100 files on Windows 7?

  I guess I need a current and relevant driver to allow my old drive 100 iomega to work when I plug it into my Windows 7 computer. But - Is it true? Are there? Will it work at all? What other issues should I know? I don't remember the OS, I got when I bought the drive unlike the year 1999-2001.

  Site of Iomega said the next thing that is qualified for Windows 7 32 bit: ' Zip® disks: Zip® USB, ATAPI, FireWire or SCSI 100 MB, 250 MB or 750MO drives should work with native drivers in Windows 7. " Software done IomegaWare does NOT with Windows 7, so the IomegaWare functionality will be unavailable. »

  I'm sorry my computer knowledge level is well below those of you on this site (but I am learning! is perhaps not listed here) but I have been unable to find clear assistance on the web... 'native' - so Windows 7 can simply accept the zip drive? This sounds very wrong - also Iomega may simply refer to the course Zip 100, 250, etc..

  I have the 64-bit version of Windows 7 (HP Pavilion dv7): what about that qualified for both 32 and 64-bit, it has an entry for "floppy drives" with serial numbers starting with D0, that my "zip" drive does not begin with.

  I want to do this by myself, but with any of your comments, it can be clear, that I need to take the reader to a computer repair store. I hesitate just give it a go with other information for fear that something is very wrong with my computer.

  I appreciate your help on behalf of quite novice. Thank you.

  Can I find a friend with an XP system and attach the drive to him. You may need to install the drivers (which you would get from Iomega site). You can uninstall them later. Reattach the drive, copy your files into the XP box, burn the files to CD/DVD-R. Buy your friend a beer. :-)

  Note: If you get the same problem on XP with all disks, then the drive has probably failed. Then you have to find someone who still has a USB Iomega Zip drive. Some technicians will always have them. I have one on my shelf - have not used in years, but I keep it just in case a customer is your problem.

• With the help of Windows Easy Transfer - need to transfer the old HARD drive to new computer - old HDD attached as external drive for the new usb port of the computer - help

  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

• No access to users on the old hard drive

  I have a weird problem, I can not access my /Desktop documents/photos/music on my old hard drive files and, basically, all that is in the / users.

  I tried to change the permission settings but I can't make it work and sometimes it says I don't have permission to change, it's so weird because I can access other things which is just placed on the hard drive and not on / users. I just upgraded my computer and put this hard drive but I run my operating system on an SSD instead, I tried to plug the old hard drive but it does not work it restarts just when it starts to load windows.
  It feels as if I have to hack my old hard drive in a way to make it possible to access.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  1. you receive an error message/code when you try to access the files on your old hard drive? If Yes, what is the full error message?

  2 were there any hardware or software changes made on the computer before this problem?

  Do the methods and check if it helps.

  Initially, a virus using Microsoft Safety scanner scan and check if the problem persists.

  
  Method 1

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Important: While running scan on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when scanning try to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

   

  Method 2

  Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists, if the question does not persist then perform the clean boot and check if the problem resolves.

  Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed. Please click the below mentioned link.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Method 3

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

   

  Let us know the status of the issue.

• Location of the bookmarks on an old hardrive that is not Windows, running but the old hard disk files are accessed through another hard drive.

  The old hard disk does not run Windows, so access to the usual file through Windows Explorer or Firefox has not worked for me. The old hard drive is now a slave drive and all files are intact and accessible via the new Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

  You have Windows configured to display the hidden files and folders? If not, do it as soon as the first. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=Windows-7

  Then, what version of Windows do you have on the old drive? Your profile folder must be on the way there:

  Windows XP and earlier versions:

  \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  Windows Vista and later:

  \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  If you find multiple profile folders, see the recent order. You find a subfolder named bookmarkbackups. This article describes how to restore the .json files, you will find: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer.

  A little luck?

• How can I transfer encrypted files from old hard drive removed (transfer windows easy?)

  Hello

  I'm trying to get some files off my old hard drive encrypted. He has xp on it, and I can't start on my new computer. Since it is a separate, apparently, I can't do either windows easy transfer. Is it possible for me to locate the certificate and key, or to transfer files with the key and the certificate on my new computer (I have password from the old computer if I need that)? Can I somehow run WET on this hard drive for keys/certificates can be transferred. This seems to be a common problem from what I have read.
  Otherwise, do you have ideas on how to start my old xp disk on my new system without reformatting?
  Very important to get these files.
  Thank you!

  First of all, I assume you mean encrypted files (EFS, Encrypting File System).  These files are encrypted with a key that is still encrypted in your system like a certificate.  In order to read your encrypted on any other system files, you must restore the certificate from a backup.  The short article is mandatory for anyone considering the use of EFS:
  "Best Practices for encrypting file system"

  Special attention to the subsection down titled "why you should back up your certificates.

• How to transfer files from the old hard drive to a disc new hard, old hard disk has been removed?

  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.

• Cannot copy files from the old hard drive to new

  Original title: crash and recovery of hard drive problem

  My hard drive crashed it wouldn't boot saying config.sys is damaged or corrupted, I tried to fix it but the sector is damaged. I was using XP, I had a password on my settings. I installed a new hard drive and reinstalled windows XP, but even if I can 'see' the old hard drive (always installed) I can't access my documents, how can I get to them? I know the password but since its an account on another drive it won't give me the chance to log on to the account.

  Assuming that you use the Encrypting File System (EFS) then this article should solve your problem:
