• How to copy data from one hard drive to another after the upgrade?

  I have a HP e9220y, and I recently bought a new hard drive for it. There is nothing wrong with the former, but this one has a 64 MB cache and 7200 RPM so I hope it will be a little faster. I installed it and it works fine, but I want to copy all data from the old disk to the new so I can start everything off the faster hard drive and I seem to have a bit of doing wrong. I can't just copy and paste because of the Windows system files that are used. And last night when I set up Windows backup, and went to bed, when I thought it that Windows has recovered from a stop unexpected, rebooted, and only 2 GB of data saved obtained.

  What is the best way to move all the data from the old drive to the new drive, make it the default C: drive and move partitions system and factory_image as well? Thank you!

  (1) If your old drive and the new drive is Seagate or Western Digital, then free House with their cloning software.

  (2) before starting the clone process, I found best to perform a disk cleanup and defragmentation.

  Cloning software to copy the two partitions. Example:

  Old drive 250 GB formatted to 232 C: created 220 and 12 GB D:

  New 1000GO drive formatted to 931 GB created 919 GB C: and D: to 12 GB

  The "Seagate disc Wizard" cloning software will let create you a clone automatic or manual partition resizing.

  The two modes to offer an overview of the actions before commit you. The manual on this page of Seagate (PDF) is 68 pages.

  After the cloning process he complete, all you have to do is swap on the disks. Besure to connect your new disc on the original motherboard SATA port.

• How to transfer data from one hard drive to another?

  I don't know how and has been upgraded to a new hard drive...

  Hello

  Well, it may be quite simple, if you install the new OS in the new drive.

  Then you connect the older HARD drive, and you should be able to explore the contents of the HARD drive in windows and copy the data from the old disk to the new. Be careful with what is selected in the BIOS startup disk.

  But depends on the unit you have, because you might end up having several types of questions.

  You can also use any kind of external card, depends on the type of connection of HARD drive you have and for example, if its SATA, you can simply use a SATA to USB adapter.

  Let me know if this helped.

  Thank you

• How to copy a CD to hard drive

  How can I copy files from a CD to my hard drive in Windows 7?

  Hello

  That's assuming that you want to COPY files and not to install a program that is on a CD or a DVD.

  Put the disc into the CD/DVD drive. Usually an Auto Run will go up and only one option will be to
  VIEW FILES - select what is Windows Explorer.

  Find the FILES (or FOLDERS) you want to COPY and then right-click on one and COPY. Then
  go where you want to put the FILE (FOLDER) and do a right click and PASTE. Back to
  the drive and make the next COPY and repeat if necessary.

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

  You can also use Start - computer or Windows Explorer to access the CD/DVD drive
  then use the method above to COPY and PASTE as needed.

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

  Here are a few tips to help with Start - computer or Windows Explorer.

  You can hold DOWN the SHIFT key and click on a FILE (or FOLDER) then go to the latest in a series
  Click on it and all of them will be FEATURED - make right click in the Highlighted are then
  You can COPY all. When you go to the destination and PASTE them all will be copied into a
  process.

  You can HOLD the CTRL key and click on FILES (or FOLDERS) that are not, like many
  as you wish, and all are highlighted - Right Click then in the highlighted area and the COPY. Then
  Navigate to where you want to copy, and then right-click and PASTE, and all will be copied to a
  operation.

  I hope this helps.

  I use windows xp svc pack 3. some how it gets corrupted now and all my important data is in the folder my documents on my desk. I got my account with a password. I tried to repair my widows through the recovery console, but I was unable to open a session in my Windows through this procedure just stuck computer is there. even when I tried to fix it through the installation of windows, Setup also stuck on the step where it says "in search for earlier versions of windows."

  If you have an administrator password in windows, then the recovery console would need in order to log in the disk system, i.e. the c prompt.

   

  If you tried to do a repair with the cd, then it may not have worked if your cd is the sp2 version of windows on your computer has been updated to sp3 version.  for the sp2 of xp cd works, you will need to uninstall the update to sp3 via Add/Remove programs.

   

  so, now that you have enslaved the hard drive on another computer, you will need to do is try to take ownership of the files/folders:

  Hello

  It of difficult to say what might be wrong here but if the question appears only using the second partition, then I recommend to check the State of the HARD drive.
  I use a very good freeware tool called Drive Fitness Test.
  Use google to download this software.

  It creates a boot disk that allows you to test the drive HARD and of course the two partitions.
  If the error would be detected, then it means that the HARD drive failure could be the reason for this

• Transfer data to external hard drive from XP to Vista

  How would I be able to transfer data from a XP hard drive (which is in an external case) on my new laptop with Windows Vista? Please let me know. Thank you very much.

  original title: I have a XP hard drive in an external case, and I would like to transfer the data on Windows Vista.

  There are several options:

  External drive is already connected via USB?  Your new computer sees the old disk when you open Explorer?  Is the drive external HARD in the format identical to the new machine Vista (probably NtfS)?  If this isn't the case, you must first convert the external hard drive to NTFS.  http://technet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb456984.aspx (although written for XP, it works with Vista as well).

  If so, create a new folder on the new disc called 'From Old Computer'. Go to the old drive. Now * COPY * ("hold") the files to the new folder that you created. After getting everything copied on you can turn off the computer and unplugging the old drive to protect its content - where everything is not going according to plan.

  Now you can take your time by placing the files copied, where you want that they finally reside on your new computer.

  If you have problems with 'Access denied', follow these steps on the external drive of the new computer:

  In Explorer, right-click on the drive in question and select Properties

  On the Security tab, click Advanced
  On the owner tab
  Select you realize if it isn't already and
  Check "Replace owner of subcontainers and objects".
  Click OK twice (close all dialog boxes)

  Defines you as the owner of every folder and file on the disk

  In Explorer, right-click on the drive in question and select Properties

  On the Security tab, add your account if it is not already there and set full access
  Click on apply
  Click on advanced
  Check "Replace permission on the child all the objects with...» »
  Click on apply

  If you do not see a Security tab, then turn off Simple file sharing (you may need to do in reconnedcting the count to the old XP machine - I'm not sure that this can be done through the new computer).  To do this, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810881.  The same may be true if the nets and records are password protected (although using a different procedure to remove the password to protenctio similar to what lets you add it iin the first place.)

  If you have problems setting up the permissions or ownership on the disk external drive files and folders, some information here that might help:

  To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

  To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

  If the external hard drive is not USB but IDE instead, here is an article on two methods that work for transfer: http://www.wikihow.com/Transfer-Data-Between-Two-Hard-Drives.

  ==================================================================================================================

  I realide what follows is not what you asked, but if it is still possible, it might be a better solution than moving the data to the external hard drive.

  If the external hard drive has only the data and you want to transfer settings and data (and perhaps even of programs if they are compatible with Vista) from the old XP machine (if it is always present and contains information on the new computer (which is better because it also transfers your program and other parameters (and maybe your programs) as well as the data (or you can ignore the data if it is the same which is))) already on the external drive))), then use the transfer tool.  Here's how: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Migrating-Vista-using-Windows-Easy-Transfer.html#.  This is how I do the trasfer if I had to do it because it makes the implementation of the new computer much easier and faster.

  Here is another article on how to transfer data and settings from an XP machine to a new Vista computer using an external hard drive (although it discusses other methods as well): http://www.digitaltrends.com/how-to/how-to-transfer-your-data-from-xp-to-vista/

  Jere het another article on the use of Transsfer easy to pass data or parameters (and perhaps programs) from a XP computer to a Vista computer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial138.html

  =====================================================================================================================

  I hope this helps.  If you have questions or problems on the way, do not forget to post back and get help.  It is best to do things right the first time.  And even once, I highly recommend using Easy Transfer (although this is not how you setup at the moment) for the transfer to get the new computer up and running much faster and easier.  The decision is yours.

  Good luck!

• Need to retrieve the BONES but do not have the habit of losing data on the HARD drive

  Dear all!

  For long time now, I tried to disable a Trojan horse or a worm, on my Windows XP Home (Home!) i.e. get rid of the cftmon_.exe, when I decided to follow the instructions from Symantec and pieces manually deleted from the register, I guess she was part USERINIT (turn off the system before restore and put on after the deletion).

  It can be as well as I did not right, something after the fact that I have would be to end the session at the time the logon process has started. This is relatively known issue here, with different options.

  -J' need to keep the data on two HARD drives.
  -I have no other partitions.
  -I don't know what I've got on one of them, which I could use to free space Recovery Expert mode.

  a. the fact that I want to take the option with Toshiba, which is Expert mode (http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2513&tstart=125) as a last recovery, DVDs on

  b. I have trouble with the installation of the Recovery Console (with Windows XP (Professional!) original CD, 'R' for 'fix), but I would get the message "Setup has not found hard disk units installed in your computer"...
  I understand that I would need to install the driver RAID (http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=20093&messageID=73758) but I'm afraid that this may delete the data on the disc.

  My questions are the following:

  1 install the RAID driver (downloaded from the Toshiba off site web http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/updates/raid-drv/raid-drv-qog20-xp-1380.zip and installed on the floppy drive I guess) so we hope to install the Recovery Console, and do the rest of the work, make data disappear my 2 (remove) HARD drives?

  2. If I use Toshiba Recovery DVD, Expert mode that is finally what is the size of partition should be recorded for the mirror on the half vacuum 1.HDD?, should I partition 2 HDD, after it backup and count data will be lost? Choose any setings special during the process, apart from those mentioned in the link above? What should I do after wards? The registry damaged when you logged in and how can I build? I will be able to use personal and archive data from Microsoft Outlook?

  3. is there a alternative with UBCD4Win and UBCD? What is the best? What is the procedure of after the start of the CD after reboot? How to copy/repair the userinit files?

  I'm sorry for the load of information, but I am pretty stuck. All the necessary data for my normal life are buried here!

  A big thank you JohnnyS, tw, Quad, Eldorado and many others!

  See you soon!

  Hi friend

  I would like to respond on comments like yours, it s a good exercise for my work and my s really cool to have a few topics which will help all the people here.

  JohnnyS is a friend of mine who works with me at our office and we talked a bit about your problem.
  If his opinion is to use the UBCD4Win and work with this option.

  The advice from him were:

  Take a USB - HDD enclosure and put a disk in it and start with UBCD4Win. Copy any important data in a folder on the external HARD drive, then remove the uneeded data on this subject. Only important data!
  Make a backup of your data on the external hard drive for two HDD´s I hope that you have enough free space.

  Format the drive in your machine and get it back. Install the system as usual on your first HARD drive.
  Then put the data anywhere.

  So I don't know if I have it just ask, a little more explanation would be useful. I think that this is a long thread. ;)

• HP dv9000 vista laptop won't start. Cannot 'fix '; BIOS Diagnostics: all GOOD except Hard Drive check result: replace the hard drive NEED the data from this hard drive!

  HP dv9000 vista laptop won't start. Attempt to restore repair result several times cannot be made online. BIOS ran diagnostics, everything was good except the hard disk, hd chk result: replace the hard drive. F11 entered to access advanced hp Recovery Manager options tempted towards the top of the entire disk, all files show while listing to back up, attached to my external hard drive current over the back with success.  Plugged external on another laptop, new files since the previous backup are no where.  Should I buy a new external hard drive and repeat the backup via Recovery Manager Advanced Options or should I remove the internal hard disk and insert it into a case and apply in usb on another laptop to view the files.  I know when my computer crashed, I had too many windows/tabs open and too much process and tried to interrupt a process and I confused his little brain and now he has Alzheimer's disease.  I am freaked because I'll lose everything 2012 including some very important documents and about 50 000 pictures HD (yes I learned my lesson backup!) I am in crisis mode because I recently became sick and my photos and documents is vital for my next year of chemotherapy and radiation. Please advice are extremely appreciated. Thank you

  Hello

  This backup after pressing F11 is a HP backup option, not a Microsoft option.

  I suggest that you contact HP or ask their Support Forums.

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/

  It's the normal advice I'd give to record data; but we have no idea of the State of your hard drive.

  Saving your files:

  You can remove the hard drive and put it in a hard drive USB enclosure > plug it into another computer > and try to read and copy your data in this way.

  Or, you can download Knoppix > make a bootdisk to > start your system with it (IF your material is all work) > and copy your data from the hard drive like that.

  See you soon.
