How to install a hard drive more on a Windows Server machine?

Disable windows server and install the new hard drive

I installed windows on a hard drive server but now I want to turn off and install on a new larger hard drive. How can I go about it?

Hello

 
There are a few options that you can try:
 
 
1. format the hard drive.
 
2. replace a new operating system. When media starts, you are presented with the option to format the drive before installation.
 
3. If it is a separate partition, and you're dual-boot, you may need to set your boot options after formatting your partition WS2008. Demarrer start on your older operating system drive, and then select the boot option fix for your existing partition from the operating system.
 
Note: If both the HARD drive is connected to the same machine, start from the media format of the previous installation on the old HDD and install the operating system on the new HARD drive.

  • Satellite A300-1J1 - how to install 2nd HARD drive?

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite A300 and I see in the workbook loads it is possible to add a 2nd hard drive. So I bought one and when I opened the box of hard drive, I have not found a connector to connect to my hard drive. I think I have to install a SATA connector, but I have not found a way to proceed.

    Thank you

    PS: Excuse me if you find mistakes, I don't speak very well

    Hey,.

    If there is no second SATA connector on the motherboard it s not possible to install 2nd HARD drive because you can t add such a motherboard connector.

    As far as I remember there are other threads on A300 and 2nd drive HARD here in the forum and the point is that all A300 using the same case for laptop, but the mothers are different. So you can have a 2nd HARD drive Bay but not connector.

    Sorry, you can't put any disk 3,5 '' HARD to your computer laptop, physically impossible. You can use it as drive external HARD with a power supply unit. You can put a second 2.5 " HDD on the optical slot using a trolley which is similar to this:

  • HDD problem IBM Thinkpad T42. I can't install NEW Hard Drive and NEW OEM Windows XP?

    Hi all

    When I turn on the notebook Windows XP starts up and everything is loaded. But after 5 or 10 minutes, the response is very slow. If I click on any window and try to open any folder, or open internet explore it takes about 1 or 2 minutes to respond. I tried several ways to scan disk and Defrag, but still that are of no use. I also tried 'Difficulty automatically File System Errors' and ' will search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors ", but this problem is still there. Even when I stop it takes too long to stop about 15 to 20 minutes.

    When I turn on again NEXT DAY Windows XP starts and everything loads quickly. After 5 or 10 minutes, the response is very slow. This problem occurs for a few days.

    I then used "IBM Rescue and Restore" to load fresh operating system. Still the problem does not get fixed.

    Can you get it someone please let me know if this is problem of hard disk or something else. I'm guessing it's related to the hard drive.

    If it is the drive hard problem how to save (clone) of this old hard drive AGAIN DISK (after buying) HARD.

    If I buy the NEW HARD DRIVE and CD/DVD of NEW OPERATING SYSTEM OEM VERSION it will work? Do existing mother board ALLOW to load a NEW VERSION of OS OEM?

    Thank you

    Contact the manufacturer of your computer, IBM and ask them to send a recovery disk/s XP set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  • Installed new hard drive on laptop with Windows 7 can install Windows XP on external hard drive and plug it into USB?

    Original title: Win7 Pro + HD Ext different OS
    I just installed a new hard drive in my laptop with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.
    Would it not be possible to install WIn XP or Win 98 + older software (Win 98 or XP) on an external hard drive, then plug it into USB, laptop, in order to run old programs of 16-32 bit?

    It would be best to run Windows 98 or XP in a Virtual Machine, if you need to run older programs.

    You can use a free software such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMware Player:

  • How to find files of outlook data on a hard drive removed from a windows xp machine?

    My phone no longer works and I was able to get most of the data of my backups that they did not understand my outlook e-mail accounts. I have the removed disk and got a hard drive enclosure. Problem is that I can not locate the outlook.pst file. Do you know which directory it is?

    The default location is C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserNameSettings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook and the default name is Outlook.pst

    You can place Outlook files anywhere that you want so you will have to search for *.pst to find them all [assuming you have created several].

    If you want to put them in a place which is included in your backups in Windows 7, then:

    1 close Outlook after consuming at least once [the file is created on first use].

    2. go in C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook [you must show hidden files to reveal the path to get there, or you can simply paste the path into the address box of Windows Explorer to join directly the]

    3 move the Outlook.pst you will find at a convenient location in My Documents.

    4. open Outlook.  Will report you that it cannot find Outlook.pst and will give you the ability to browse for it then point to where you put the file.  [When you open Outlook, it will look at the new location without asking any other]

    Since you have a Dell and a recovery CD and not a recovery Partition, check how many partitions you need by using disk management:

    http://www.theeldergeek.com/disk_management.htm

    In case you have a partition with the operating system and a partition of the utility partition, I would only recommend formatting the partition from the OS. The Partition utility can be very useful.
